"Eldest Martial Sister, what should we do?" Luo Fengxue asked anxiously.
Han Qingyu didn't say anything, but her expression was very calm. She looked at Wei Jiasi, who was lying on the bed, and made a decision. "Wake Second Martial Sister up first."
"En." Luo Fengxue nodded repeatedly.
Upon guessing the demonic beasts' movements, Mo Tiange became anxious. Han Qingyu's decision suited her temperament.
"Tiange, come and help."
Han Qingyu and Luo Fengxue helped Wei Jiasi up from the bed.
Han Qingyu raised her head and said, "Tiange, your cultivation level is also in the middle stage of the Foundation Building realm now. In a moment, let's pour our spiritual power into second junior martial sister's dantian and sea of knowledge to wake her primordial spirit."
"I understand." Mo Tiange nodded. She and Han Qingyu sat behind Wei Jiasi and listened to her orders.
"I'll count to three. Pour your spiritual energy into her Lingtai acupoint. In the beginning, the spiritual energy in her body will automatically resist. You have to hold on. I'll lend you a hand if I can free up my hands."
"Alright."
"Now, one, two, three!"
Right after she finished speaking, Mo Tiange immediately raised her hand, condensed her aura into her palm, and placed it on the Lingtai Acupoint on Wei Jiasi's back.
However, Han Qingyu directly pressed on her Baihui acupoint.
"Fengxue, look after your second senior sister. If she can't hold on any longer, feed her a Vitality Pill."
"Yes, Eldest Senior Sister."
Mo Tiange's spiritual aura had a pure Yin attribute; it was ice-cold and light.
After entering Wei Jiasi's body through Lingtai Acupoint, Mo Tiange immediately sensed that her spiritual aura was rebounded by Wei Jiasi's meridians. This force was much stronger than hers.
In fact, although the Foundation Building stage was classified differently from the Qi Condensation stage, which was generally divided into early-stage, mid-stage, and late-stage, these three minor stages were also divided into nine levels. Levels one, two, three were early-stage Foundation Building, four, five, six were mid-stage Foundation Building, and seven, eight, nine were late-stage Foundation Building.
The so-called Completion of the Foundational Building Stage was the tenth level, a step away from the Core Formation Stage.
Right now, Luo Fengxue had just advanced to the Foundation Building realm, so she was still in the first layer. Han Qingyu had also entered the late stage of the Foundation Building realm not too long ago, so she was still in the seventh layer.
As for Mo Tiange and Wei Jiasi, although they were both in the middle stage of the Foundation Building realm, Wei Jiasi had been in the Foundation Building realm for almost a hundred years. Although she was still in the middle stage, she was already in the sixth layer. Mo Tiange, on the other hand, had just broken through and was only in the fourth layer.
For Qi Condensation cultivators, a gap of two levels was already enough to affect their strength, let alone Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Once Mo Tiange's spiritual aura entered Wei Jiasi's meridians, the rebounding pressure made her frown.
However, in the next moment, she activated the Spirit-Concealing Pendant.
This Spirit-Concealing Pendant originally had the function of concealing one's constitution and gathering spiritual aura. The effect of gathering spiritual aura could make the wearer's spells more refined. After Zhong Muling refined it again, this effect became even more obvious.
A wisp of pure spiritual aura flowed out of the Spirit-Concealing Pendant. Mo Tiange immediately felt the pressure on her lessen. In addition, her spiritual aura had the attribute of Pure Yin, so it was both soft and tough. Very soon, her spiritual aura deftly neutralized Wei Jiasi's rebound force and advanced along her meridians towards her dantian.
Han Qingyu looked at her in astonishment.
She originally wanted to help Mo Tiange later, but she didn't expect Mo Tiange to break free on her own.
However, thinking that this junior martial sister of hers had a lot of fated chances, Han Qingyu figured there might be something special about her spiritual aura, so she didn't say anything and focused on slowly guiding her spiritual aura downwards.
Before long, Mo Tiange's and Han Qingyu's spiritual auras converged in her dantian. Soon after, this combined spiritual aura flowed along the special passage between her dantian and her sea of knowledge, entering her sea of knowledge.
For a moment, the two of them both had pained expressions on their faces, making Luo Fengxue extremely nervous.
Mo Tiange indeed felt an enormous pressure in her sea of knowledge. The sea of knowledge was the dwelling place of primordial spirits and was very far away from her dantian. However, her dantian was the only place connected to her sea of knowledge. If she wanted to enter her sea of knowledge, she had to go through her dantian, where her spiritual aura was stored.
The spiritual pressure in her dantian didn't make her and Han Qingyu feel too uncomfortable. However, after entering the narrow passage in her sea of knowledge, the two of them felt that they couldn't exert any strength, so they could only slowly move forward bit by bit.
Finally, the spiritual aura entered the boundless sea of knowledge. The two of them heaved sighs of relief as they found Wei Jiasi's sleeping primordial spirit.
"You must be careful. Ordinary cultivators' primordial spirits are very fragile. Even this kind of weak spiritual aura can still cause pain to the divine sense.
Let's wrap up her primordial spirit first, then I'll slowly apply pressure on it. "
"Yes, Senior Martial Sister Han."
Mo Tiange steadily controlled her spiritual aura, listening to Han Qingyu's instructions.
With the help of the Spirit-Concealing Pendant, Mo Tiange's ability to control spiritual aura was also very subtle. She gently spread her spiritual aura and spread it over Wei Jiasi's primordial spirit then stopped moving.
Han Qingyu, on the other hand, was much more cautious. After a series of complicated manipulations, Wei Jiasi's eyelashes fluttered and a pained expression appeared on her face.
"Fengxue, Spirit-Nourishing Pills!"
Luo Fengxue immediately took out Spirit-Nourishing Pills and fed them to Wei Jiasi.
Wei Jiasi's primordial spirit immediately stabilized. Soon after, she opened her eyes.
"Second Junior Martial Sister, don't move!
Wait until we extract the spiritual aura from your meridians, then you can use it. "
Upon hearing Han Qingyu's shout, Wei Jiasi was startled for a moment but she immediately did as she was told.
Mo Tiange and Han Qingyu spent a lot of effort to extract the spiritual aura from Wei Jiasi's meridians.
The loss of this spiritual aura didn't really matter to them, but the sea of knowledge was a very fragile place. If they were careless and left spiritual aura inside, Wei Jiasi would definitely be in trouble.
"Phew …" This was the first time Mo Tiange used spiritual aura to do such a meticulous thing, so she felt extremely tired.
Luo Fengxue hastily helped her down and fed her some medicinal pills. She then went back to Wei Jiasi and asked, "Second Senior Martial Sister, are you alright?"
Wei Jiasi opened her eyes. She seemed to be a bit confused. "I … What happened …"
Han Qingyu said gently, "Second Junior Martial Sister, you and Tiange ran into an accident. You were bewitched by an Illusory Formation, but you're alright now.
Don't think too much about it. Take a rest first. I'll tell you about it later. "
"…" Wei Jiasi didn't say anything. She lowered her head and seemed to be in a daze, seemingly trying to recall something.
"Second Senior Martial Sister?" Luo Fengxue was a bit worried.
After a long time, Wei Jiasi finally regained her composure. She shook her head and said, "I'm alright. Rest assured.
How's the situation now? "
Han Qingyu smiled and said, "I'm here, so what are you worried about?
Second Junior Martial Sister, rest well. I'll tell you in detail when you're spirited again. "
"En." Wei Jiasi's expression changed, but in the end, she still nodded.
This made Han Qingyu and Luo Fengxue feel relieved. They stood up and said, "In that case, you rest first. We won't disturb you any longer."
"Wait …" Wei Jiasi raised her head. Her gaze swept over Mo Tiange's body. "Tiange, I want to talk to you."
Mo Tiange was stunned. She looked at Han Qingyu and Luo Fengxue.
Luo Fengxue's brows were tightly knitted. Han Qingyu, on the other hand, was silent for a moment. She then gave Mo Tiange a meaningful glance and said with a smile, "Tiange, since you don't have anything else to do, you can keep your Senior Martial Sister Wei company for now."
Mo Tiange nodded and said, "I understand, Senior Martial Sister Han."
After Han Qingyu and Luo Fengxue left, Mo Tiange walked towards Wei Jiasi. She tidied up the bed then helped Wei Jiasi sit up. "Senior Martial Sister Wei, do you have anything to tell me?"
Wei Jiasi remained silent, but her gaze never left Mo Tiange. Her gaze seemed to be scrutinizing and considering Mo Tiange.
Mo Tiange stopped and sat quietly on the edge of the bed.
Han Qingyu wanted Mo Tiange to be a bit more patient. After all, Wei Jiasi had always been like this. Moreover, she was currently injured.
Mo Tiange didn't care about this, so she agreed with Han Qingyu.
Now that Wei Jiasi was looking at her like this, she didn't feel displeased at all.
Mo Tiange had a rough childhood and was accustomed to the fickleness of the world. How could she take these things seriously?
After a long time, Wei Jiasi finally spoke. "Tiange, do you know why I asked you to stay?" Her tone was actually very calm.
Mo Tiange calmed down. The corners of her lips curled up into a faint smile. "I don't know."
Wei Jiasi closed her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking. After a long time, she opened her eyes again and continued to speak calmly, "I … I remember that I did something bad to you in the illusion, so I think I have the responsibility to explain it to you."
"Senior Martial Sister doesn't have to do this." Mo Tiange didn't want to hear those words. "Senior Martial Sister doesn't owe me anything, and you've never wronged me. You were just influenced by the illusion; what's there to explain?"
"No!"
Wei Jiasi stared at her resolutely. Her gaze was stubborn. "Although my character isn't good and I'm unsociable and arrogant, I've never bullied or humiliated others. If I don't explain it clearly, I'll feel bad."
Mo Tiange was silent for a while. She felt powerless in her heart.
What happened between her and Wei Jiasi was actually Wei Jiasi's own feelings. In fact, it had nothing to do with Mo Tiange, but now …
Mo Tiange sighed. "Alright, I'll listen to whatever Senior Martial Sister Wei wants to say."
After obtaining Mo Tiange's agreement, Wei Jiasi's gaze softened and she showed a rare smile.
She was actually a beautiful woman. Her eyebrows were elegant, and her face was like spring. If she smiled often, she would definitely be very amiable and cute.
After thinking for a while, Wei Jiasi said softly, "Tiange, you should know that I don't like you.
I don't know whether you know the reason or not … "
"In our Clear Spring Peak, grandmaster was a genius. Aside from the deceased Martial Uncle Qingyuan, he had a total of six advanced inner disciples.
Our master ranked first, was the oldest, and also had the most disciples.
More than a hundred years ago, master was still very young, and he only had six or seven disciples. Among them, the only female disciples were me and eldest martial sister. "
"Although the inner disciples of us Core Formation cultivators all had double spiritual roots, there were good and bad ones. Among them, I had the best aptitude, so my cultivation progressed very quickly. Often, even my senior martial brothers couldn't catch up to me. It could be said that I was the number one disciple among the third generation of grandmaster's disciples.
Just like that, over time, I gradually developed a sense of pride. "
"Martial Uncle Shoujing came before I entered the sect. In fact, his age was similar to us third generation disciples.
Because my aptitude was excellent, I was accepted into the sect when I was a child. When I entered the sect, he seemed to have just built his foundation.
At that time, I only knew that grandmaster had an advanced inner disciple who was related to him by blood. His aptitude was quite high, and his temperament was even better.
However, I didn't take Martial Uncle seriously because I thought I would definitely surpass him, just like how I surpassed my senior martial brothers one by one.
But I never expected that not only would I never be able to achieve this goal, but I would also be left further and further behind … "
"Martial Uncle built his foundation when he was twenty years old. At that time, Martial Uncle Lingxi of Sweet Dew Peak had already built his foundation when he was seventeen years old, so he didn't attract any attention.
I also thought that for elite disciples with high aptitudes like us, building our foundation was a relatively easy threshold to cross. Building it at around twenty years old only meant that we were quite lucky.
But I never expected that on the first day I saw Martial Uncle … "
Mo Tiange was silent as she listened to Wei Jiasi's sometimes sweet and sometimes painful recollection.
She felt empty in her heart. She couldn't even hear Wei Jiasi's voice clearly.
What was the point of telling her all this?
Should she rejoice or sigh for it?
"… Tiange, I'm very sorry. I thought I controlled my emotions very well, but in the Illusory Formation, I exposed myself and even had thoughts of hurting people … Fengxue was right. I walked further and further down this path, and I couldn't control myself anymore.
Because Martial Uncle was good to you, although I tried my best to suppress it, my heart still felt unfair.
In fact, after I fainted, I was still conscious. I thought about it for a very, very long time … "
"I know that if I want to achieve anything on the path of cultivation, I must give it up.
But I tried again and again, and when I wanted to give it up, I felt like I was even going to give up my own heart … So, I thought it through, I don't care anymore.
If I can't get it, then I won't ask for it. If I can't give it up, then I won't give it up.
Right now, I'm about a hundred years old, just a hair's breadth away from the late stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. If I don't form my core, I'll probably have about two hundred years left in my lifespan.
In two hundred years, Uncle-Master might not be able to form his Nascent Soul.
With Martial Uncle's temperament, if he doesn't succeed in his cultivation, he definitely won't be trapped by his emotions. By the time he decides to dual cultivate, I'm afraid I'll already … already be long gone. "
At this point, Wei Jiasi smiled at Mo Tiange. Her gaze was filled with sorrow and determination. She said, "That being the case, what should I be afraid of?
Let it be like this for the rest of my life. I won't force it, I won't force it. If I can get it, I'll get it. If I can't let it go, I won't let it go. Whether it's Foundation Establishment or Core Formation, it's up to fate … "
Mo Tiange remained silent.
This was the best attitude Wei Jiasi had ever shown her, but Mo Tiange couldn't force out a smile.
Because Mo Tiange clearly felt the sorrow behind Wei Jiasi's words.
This Senior Martial Sister Wei … no matter who it was, she was such a proud person, yet now, she was willing to give up her future.
But from another point of view, wasn't this also a sign that she'd come to terms with it?
This is my love alone. Even if the person I love has nothing to do with it.
I'll guard him alone. If I can't get him, I don't care what the consequences will be.
"Tiange, Martial Uncle, he …"
"Senior Martial Sister Wei," Mo Tiange suddenly interrupted Wei Jiasi, "I think you don't need to tell me this.
What happens to Martial Uncle has nothing to do with me. "
Wei Jiasi was also silent, but in the next moment, she chuckled softly and said, "Yes, I was confused.
Alright, Tiange, please forgive me for what happened in the past. From now on, whether it has nothing to do with you or not, it's all my business; it has nothing to do with you. "
Wei Jiasi woke up. Han Qingyu spent some effort to help her recover her strength and finally told her what happened.
Wei Jiasi was silent for a long time. Sure enough, she gave the answer they expected: this must be a conspiracy.
Now, Danding School had many of their martial brothers and their master. Luo Fengxue was very anxious. She shouted, "Then what should we do now?"
Han Qingyu pondered for a moment and said, "It's useless to be anxious now. We've already been delayed here for a while. If they wanted to set up something, they've probably already done it.
As for Summoning Talismans, I've tried, but I don't know whether master has received it or not. "
This place was quite far from Danding School. Ordinary Summoning Talismans couldn't be used unless they used Thousand Miles Sound-Transmitting Talismans or Ten Thousand Miles Sound-Transmitting Talismans. The talisman Han Qingyu used to report this matter to Master Daoist Xuanyin was none other than the Thousand Miles Sound-Transmitting Talisman. However, it was highly likely that it was blocked by a great defensive formation.
"Is there any news from Yu Clan?" Wei Jiasi asked.
"No." Han Qingyu shook her head. "I mentioned it to them, but they don't know what's going on. Clan Master Yu also tried to send a message to the school, but I don't know if he can do it or not."
The four of them once again sank into silence.
Right now, it was definitely too late for them to return to Danding School. They couldn't even guarantee their safety. Once a war broke out, it would already be great if they could rely on Yu Clan's terrain and formations to stay alive. If they left without permission and the demonic beasts ran rampant outside, perhaps …
"Senior Martial Sisters, I'm afraid we don't have any other choice but to wait."
After thinking for a long time, Mo Tiange said slowly, "We're only four Foundation Building cultivators. There's a Nascent Soul cultivator in Danding School. Even if we fall into their trap, I'm afraid it won't be easy to attack. Martial Uncle Xuanyin and the other martial brothers are guests in Danding School, so it shouldn't be too dangerous.
On the other hand, it's hard to say for us. Yu Clan only has several Foundation Building cultivators, and their cultivation levels aren't as high as ours. Relying on them definitely won't work. "
Han Qingyu pondered for a long time before she finally nodded. "Tiange's right. If those demonic beasts can't defeat Danding School in a fierce battle and change their target, we'll be in danger."
"Then what should we do?" Luo Fengxue asked.
Wei Jiasi said faintly, "I think we should wait."
Mo Tiange nodded in agreement.
Upon seeing their reactions, Han Qingyu said, "I also agree with waiting. We still can't see the current situation clearly, so it'd be better to stay put and deal with the ever-changing situation."
Since the three of them said so, Luo Fengxue was also speechless. "Alright, I also can't think of any ideas."
The four of them agreed that Han Qingyu would be the one to negotiate with Yu Clan.
When Yu Clan's Patriarch learned of their conjectures, he became very nervous.
Mo Tiange took some time to enter the Virtual Sky World, but she sat silently in the small room for a long time.
In fact, if she stayed in the Virtual Sky World and didn't go out, she would naturally be very safe. However, excluding Yu Clan, which had nothing to do with her, what would happen to Luo Fengxue and the other two?
Logically speaking, Xuanqing School gave her a place to live and provided her with the things she needed to cultivate. She owed them a favor, not a grudge.
In terms of affection, the three of them were her martial sisters. Wei Jiasi aside, Han Qingyu and Luo Fengxue had always taken good care of her.
Considering both sides, how could she disregard their safety?
Of course, she could also bring them into the Virtual Sky World.
However, she immediately rejected this idea.
The Virtual Sky World definitely couldn't appear in front of others. Otherwise, her life would definitely be in danger.
After thinking for a while, Mo Tiange made up her mind.
She was no longer a little Aura Refining cultivator who had no ability to protect herself anymore. She was now in the Foundation Building realm. She had a certain amount of ability, and she also had several magic treasures. Demonic beasts weren't good at using external objects, so she had a lot of confidence in escaping.
With this thought in mind, she opened her Qiankun Bag and began to prepare.
The magic weapons she had were the Purple Wooden Cauldron, the White Silk Handkerchief, the Enchanting Lantern, the Spirit-Concealing Pendant, and the Virtual Sky World. Among them, the Purple Wooden Cauldron and the Virtual Sky World were useless in fights of magical powers, and the Spirit-Concealing Pendant was the auxiliary type. Only the White Silk Handkerchief and the Enchanting Lantern could be used for direct attacks.
Other magic tools included the Shuttle of Flying Apsara, the Heaven and Earth Cloud-Silk Armor, the Land-Fleeing Ruler, and the flying needle she bought not long ago.
The Heaven and Earth Cloud-Silk Armor could be worn directly on her body, the Land-Fleeing Ruler was used for escaping, the Shuttle of Flying Apsara was used for attacking, and the flying needle was used for sneak attacks.
In addition, there were talismans and other things given to her by Martial Uncle Xuanyin.
If she really thought about it, she had a lot of magic treasures in her hands. Her odds of winning against cultivators in the same realm as her were relatively high, let alone against demonic beasts. Besides, she only needed a little bit of time to return to the Virtual Sky World. Using it together with the Land-Fleeing Ruler couldn't be any better. She believed that even if her opponent was a Core Formation cultivator, as long as she was fast enough, she still had a chance to escape.
Thinking up to this point, Mo Tiange revealed a faint smile. The Virtual Sky World and the fated chances of Deification cultivators weren't something everyone could come across. Her current strength was also top-notch among middle stage Foundation Building cultivators. Even against late stage Foundation Building cultivators, her odds of winning weren't low. If she couldn't win, she could always run. What was there to be afraid of?
