Xiao Tianxiong did not answer directly, but talked about ancient legends:
"According to legend, in ancient times, the water veins on the earth were chaotic and floods were rampant. There was a great god named Gun who stole the soil of the Nine Heavens and blocked the water flow. Although he ultimately failed to control the floods, it was not a complete failure."
Everyone has heard of this legend, but they don't know what Xiao Tianxiong means when he mentions it now.
They knew that Xiao Tianxiong would not say this without reason, so they did not press him and just listened quietly.
Sure enough, Xiao Tianxiong was silent for a moment and then continued:
"It is said that Gun stole the soil from another great god, and that great god was the Queen Mother of the West who lived on Kunlun Mountain."①
When Xiao Tianxiong said this, Mo Fenyou suddenly understood, looked at Xiao Tianxiong and asked:
"You mean, there might be soil in the Kunlun Mountains?"
Xiao Tianxiong nodded and said:
"Yes, since Gun stole the soil from the Queen Mother of the West back then, and Kunlun Mountain is the residence of the Queen Mother of the West, if the Queen Mother of the West still has soil, it must be in the Kunlun Mountains."
"But the traces of Kunlun Mountain are elusive and rarely appear in the world. The most recent one was four years ago. Junior Brother, you were also there. I'm afraid I won't be able to find it. I can only wait for it to appear again, but I don't know how long it will be."
Mo Fenyou didn't look overly happy when he saw that Xiao Tianxiong had verified his suspicion.
Xiao Tianxiong said:
"I know this idea is not practical, but since then, I have had a vague hunch that Kunlun Mountain will definitely appear again, and it won't be long."
When Mo Fenyou heard Xiao Tianxiong's words, his expression changed slightly and he couldn't help but ask:
"Is what junior brother said true?"
It's not that he doesn't believe Xiao Tianxiong, it's just that he is too surprised.
Xiao Tianxiong's cultivation level has reached the edge of "Tao". His premonition is definitely not groundless. It is very likely that he sensed a hint of heaven.
Before Xiao Tianxiong could speak again, Mo Fenyou said quickly:
"Now that we have the direction to search for the four elixirs, without further ado, let's discuss how to find them. This time, I, the Medicine King Valley, will definitely give my full assistance!"
Afterwards, everyone discussed the details of finding the medicine for a while in the palace, and Mo Fenyou told everyone in Purple Thunder Peak how to collect several spiritual items.
Soon, everyone finished their deliberations.
In the end, it was decided that the people from Purple Thunder Peak would search for Dragon Blood Grass, Fire Essence, and Ice Spirit first, while the people from Yaowang Valley would do their best to search for other auxiliary medicines for refining the Heaven-Building Pill.
Just when everyone had finished their deliberations and Zileifeng and others were preparing to leave, Mo Fenyou suddenly said:
"Junior Brother Xiao, I want to have a few words with Junior Nephew Yuntian alone."
Xiao Tianxiong didn't say much when he heard this, he just said to Bu Xiaotian behind him:
"Lao Liu, you stay, and you will go to the outer valley to find us later."
After saying that, he took several other people and left the hall.
Chu Yungong seemed to have guessed Mo Fenyou's intention of leaving Bu Xiaotian behind, and cast a look at Bu Xiaotian. Only the two of them understood the meaning.
Although several elders from Yaowang Valley were curious about Mo Fenyou's purpose of leaving Bu Xiaotian, no one asked more questions and left after everyone from Purple Thunder Peak left.
When everyone left and only Mo Fenyou and Bu Xiaotian were left in the palace, Mo Fenyou looked at Bu Xiaotian and asked:
"Where is Li'er?"
boom--
Hearing Mo Fenyou's words, Bu Xiaotian was shocked. He felt as if there was a loud noise in his head, and for a brief moment it went blank.
Although Bu Xiaotian quickly came to his senses and calmed down the expression on his face, Mo Fenyou was a person who had been cultivating for hundreds of years and was the owner of Yaowang Valley. How could he miss Bu Xiaotian's short-term moment? Change of expression?
"It seems that Li'er left with you four years ago."
"Uncle..."
Only then did Bu Xiaotian realize that Mo Fenyou was not sure where Mo Li was going just now, and the reason why he asked that question was to deceive him.
But he couldn't figure it out. Apart from his master and a few people from Zileifeng, he only told Letian about his affair with Mo Li. How did Mo Fenyou know about it?
Seemingly sensing what Bu Xiaotian was thinking, Mo Fenyou said:
"Li'er is my daughter after all, even if she turns into another person, how could I not recognize her?
After all, I am ashamed of him for what happened back then. Since she chose to go with you, as a father, I respect her choice. "
Only then did Bu Xiaotian realize that Mo Fenyou had recognized Mo Li who was pretending to be Lotte back then, but he just didn't reveal it.
When Bu Xiaotian was deep in thought, Mo Fenyou asked again:
"Li'er, is she okay?"
This time Bu Xiaotian could no longer hold back the sadness in his heart, fell to his knees with a plop, and said with choked sobs:
"Uncle... I'm sorry! Li'er..."
With tears streaming down his face, Bu Xiaotian recounted what happened after leaving Yaowang Valley.
When Mo Fenyou heard Mo Li's self-burning seven souls perform the forbidden technique, his face suddenly turned pale and bloodless, and his body swayed for a while. In the end, he lost his balance and fell on the chair.
After Bu Xiaotian finished speaking, he buried his head on the ground and did not dare to look at Mo Fenyou's face.
After a long time, Mo Fenyou spoke again, but his voice was a little hoarse:
"It's all life!"
Bu Xiaotian didn't know what Mo Fenyou meant, so he raised his head and looked forward, only to see that Mo Fenyou, the master of Yaowang Valley and a giant of the righteous path, was already in tears, with a heavy look of sadness on his face. .
He felt even more guilty and said:
"I'm sorry! It's because I failed to protect Mo Li and couldn't find a way to wake her up. It's because I'm useless!"
As he said that, he actually picked up the long sword in his hand and slashed towards his neck.
Ping!
Dang!
There was just a crisp sound, and Bu Xiaotian's sword fell to the ground instead of slicing his neck.
It turned out that it was the zhenqi that popped up from Mo Fenyou's fingertips that knocked the long sword out of Bu Xiaotian's hand.
"When Li'er was not born, I once met an old Taoist priest. He said that I was destined to be a sinner and would die alone in the future.
Bai Ying was just pregnant at that time, so I just thought the old Taoist priest was a charlatan and didn't care.
Until Li'er was born with dystocia, Bai Ying risked her life to save Li'er, but she herself did not survive.
I have cared for Li'er meticulously over the years, for fear that she would be a little wronged. Even if she was dissatisfied with the marriage contract with Bai Zhi's child and lost his legs, I would quietly let her go. I just wanted her to live happily.
Unexpectedly, he finally agreed to the old Taoist priest's words.
well! "
Mo Fenyou talked for a long time, starting from when Mo Li was not born until Mo Li left Yaowang Valley with Bu Xiaotian four years ago.
At the end, Mo Fenyou looked at Bu Xiaotian who was full of guilt and said:
"If killing you can save Li'er, I won't hesitate at all. Even if your master protects you, even if it costs the entire Medicine King Valley, I will take your life!
But even if you die, Li'er won't come back!
If I really let you die here, I'm afraid she will blame me, right? "
"Uncle..."
Bu Xiaotian's lips moved, wanting to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything.
After a long while, he asked reluctantly:
"Is there really no hope?"
Unexpectedly, Mo Fenyou said at this moment:
"Actually, there is another way."
As soon as Mo Fenyou finished speaking, a glimmer of light suddenly bloomed in Bu Xiaotian's gray eyes.
But Mo Fenyou's next words poured cold water on him:
"Don't be too happy too early. Although this method may exist, it is difficult to achieve.
Although Li'er's three souls are still there, her seven souls have long since dispersed. Only by refining a complete Sky-Building Pill can there be any hope of awakening her.
And the terror of the Pill Tribulation is not something you and I can contend with. Even if the masters of the three sects come together, they may not be able to contend. It is almost impossible to save Li'er with the Heaven-Building Pill. "
After listening to Mo Fenyou's words, Bu Xiaotian did not despair and said firmly:
"Even if there is only a slight chance, I will not give up!"
Seeing Bu Xiaotian's determined look, Mo Fenyou's eyes flashed with relief and he said slowly:
"Li'er is right! Just go find the elixir and leave the rest to me!"
…
When Bu Xiaotian found his master and several senior brothers who were waiting in a small courtyard in the outer valley, the expression on his face had returned to normal, but there was a hint of determination in the depths of his eyes.
When the few people saw Bu Xiaotian, they didn't ask much about what Mo Fenyou and he said in the hall, but judging from their looks, they seemed to have guessed something.
When Xiao Tianxiong saw Bu Xiaotian coming, he said without waiting for Bu Xiaotian to salute:
"You came just in time. I just made an agreement with them. I will go to Longzhou to get the dragon blood grass. The third, fourth, and fifth boys will go to the ice field to find the ice spirit. The boss and you will go to the fire spirit. Once you get the things, take them with you. Go back to Purple Thunder Peak, and then we’ll go look for earth roots.”
Bu Xiaotian saw that none of the senior brothers had any objections. It was obvious that they had already discussed it before he came, so he nodded in agreement:
"Yes! Master!"
Then Bu Xiaotian thought that he didn't have any clue about the fire spirit. He only knew that the fire spirit was born in the place where water and fire blended, so he asked:
"It's just Master, that fire spirit..."
Before Bu Xiaotian could finish speaking, Xiao Tianxiong knew what Bu Xiaotian wanted to ask and said directly:
"There are many volcanoes in the South China Sea, and there may be fire spirits. You have interacted with the Shark Race before. The Shark Race is the most familiar with the South China Sea. You can ask them to help you find them."
Only then did Bu Xiaotian understand Xiao Tianxiong's intention of asking him to find the fire spirit. It turned out that he had already considered this.
Seeing that Bu Xiaotian had no doubts, Xiao Tianxiong said again:
"It's getting late today. Let's go back to Purple Thunder Peak tomorrow. We still need to prepare some things in advance."
A night of silence.
The next morning, everyone from Purple Thunder Peak bid farewell to Yaowang Valley, and then rushed back to Purple Thunder Peak day and night.
Ten days later, Purple Thunder Peak, Zhenlei Palace.
Xiao Tianxiong looked at the people in front of him who were getting ready to go, and said in a deep voice:
“This search for spiritual objects may take years or even decades, and the places where spiritual objects exist may also be extremely dangerous.
I don't ask you to definitely find the spiritual object. I just ask that once you find that something cannot be done, return to Purple Thunder Peak immediately, and we will discuss it again.
I don’t want Purple Thunder Peak to lose any of you! "
Seeing the rare solemn look on Xiao Tianxiong's face when he spoke, several disciples were moved and said solemnly:
"I will obey Master's orders!"
Seeing that everyone was ready to surrender, Xiao Tianxiong nodded and said:
"Okay, you go!"
The disciples bowed again and then exited the Zhenlei Hall.
Outside the hall, Xiang Yunwen looked at the junior brothers in front of him and said:
"You have heard what Master said. Remember, protecting yourself is the most important thing. Don't show off!"
Several people nodded in agreement.
Xiang Yunwen glanced across the faces of Chu Yungong, Li Yunjian, and Si Yunrang one by one, cupped his fists and said in a deep voice:
"Three junior brothers, take care!"
The three of them also clasped their fists and said:
"Take care, senior brother!"
