Mo Tiange didn't know how long the carriage had been moving. She curled up in a corner in a daze, feeling that every moment was unbearable.
Li Yushan didn't care about her and continued to meditate and cultivate.
The carriage suddenly stopped and the coachman's voice came from outside. "Master Immortal, we've arrived at Liancheng."
Li Yushan opened his eyes and grunted. He then dragged Mo Tiange out of the carriage.
Mo Tiange dodged his outstretched hand, but it was useless. She was still dragged out of the carriage.
Liancheng was the big city where the Mo Family's Village was located. Many people in the Mo Family's Village had never been to Liancheng in their entire lives.
Mo Tiange was in no mood to see what Liancheng looked like. She was just being led into an inn by Li Yushan in a daze.
After Li Yushan asked for a room, he carried her into the room, threw her into a corner, and ordered a bunch of dishes.
Before she left in the morning, Mo Tiange told Tianqiao about it. However, even if they found out she was kidnapped, they wouldn't chase after her. Besides, the person who kidnapped her wasn't an ordinary person.
In front of cultivators, mortals' lives were too fragile.
Since she couldn't count on others, she could only rely on herself.
First of all, her spiritual aura was restricted, but it wouldn't be forever. Li Yushan also said she would only be useful to him if her cultivation level improved. Therefore, he had to let her cultivate so she would have a chance.
Second, he said it would take at least a few years before she would be useful to him. In that case, she wouldn't be in danger for the next few years.
With that in mind, she made up her mind. Surviving was the most important thing. As long as she was alive, she would have a few years to escape.
Before long, the inn owner brought them some food.
Li Yushan picked up his chopsticks and said, "If you want to eat, then come and eat. If you don't, I won't care if you get hungry."
She was indeed hungry, but the thought of eating at the same table as this person made her feel disgusted.
She struggled for a while but eventually stood up and slowly walked over.
The food was very rich. Although Li Yushan was a low-level cultivator, he was an immortal in the eyes of mortals, so his life was naturally good.
Seeing Mo Tiange lowering her head and eating a few mouthfuls of rice, Li Yushan smiled with satisfaction and drank alone with relish.
Since Mo Tiange was willing to yield, he had nothing to worry about. What he needed to do next was to find a safe way to control her and raise her for five or six years … As for now, he wasn't in the mood to travel the world. He just needed to find a place to slowly cultivate.
When it came to cultivating, it was naturally better to go to Kunwu. This spirit vein ran across the southern part of the Celestial Pole and stretched on endlessly, so one could always find a place to cultivate. As for other places, firstly, there weren't such large spirit veins, and secondly, spirit veins were generally occupied by other people.
Having made up his mind, he once again looked at Mo Tiange. Seeing that she was obediently eating and didn't even dare to make a sound, he felt even more relieved.
Once they finished eating, Li Yushan prepared to sit in meditation and cultivate again. However, when he looked at Mo Tiange, he felt a bit worried.
He rummaged around his body and took out a few plates that looked very similar to a spirit disc. He then took out a few small flags and placed them in the four corners of the room.
Mo Tiange had never seen these things before, so she looked at them curiously.
In a good mood, Li Yushan explained, "This is a Spirit-sealing Formation. Not only can it block spiritual energy, but it also has a defensive function. Don't even think about escaping."
Formation?
It was recorded in Qing Lian's book that the Dao of Formations had long been passed down to the mortal world. Mortals used the superficial knowledge of formations passed down from the cultivation world to arrange troops and formations. The formations of the cultivation world definitely didn't have this little bit of power.
The formations of the Distant Past era had the power to destroy the heavens and split the earth. Even now, there were still some extremely powerful formations. The Great Mountain-Protecting Formations of some cultivation groups were even the foundation of their establishment.
However, now wasn't the time for Mo Tiange to seek knowledge. Li Yushan threw a quilt to her and rummaged through his bag for a long time. Finally, he picked up a book and threw it to her. He said, "Be good and stay here." Right after he said that, he went back to cultivating, minding his own business.
Mo Tiange stared at him, lowered her head, spread the quilt, and started to flip through the book.
This book was called Collection of Spiritual Objects. She opened it to take a look. Sure enough, it was an illustrated handbook with all kinds of spiritual plants and objects recorded on it. There were even pictures attached to it.
In fact, these were some of the most common things in the cultivation world. In Kunwu, only individual cultivators from the secular world needed this book.
However, Mo Tiange was very curious about it. She had never come into contact with things in the cultivation world, and Qing Lian was only an ordinary individual cultivator. What he wrote was only a general overview. It didn't have such detailed records of the origin and function of spiritual plants and objects, let alone pictures.
With this book, Mo Tiange felt that her night wouldn't be too bad.
While reading, she paid attention to Li Yushan's condition from time to time.
Gradually, spiritual aura gathered in the room. This spiritual aura was very thin, so thin that Mo Tiange couldn't feel it.
She couldn't help but cast her gaze towards Li Yushan, who was lying on the bed.
Li Yushan was breathing, and the spiritual aura slowly gathered around his body.
As Mo Tiange watched, she quietly moved her right hand to her left wrist and pulled out the string of colored glass beads.
Then, she saw the beads absorb the spiritual aura in the room at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Before long, all the spiritual aura in the room was sucked dry.
Li Yushan frowned. A puzzled expression appeared on his face.
After meditating for a while, he still couldn't feel any spiritual aura, so he finally opened his eyes and stopped cultivating.
Mo Tiange hastily withdrew her gaze. However, Li Yushan had already noticed her, so he immediately fixed his gaze on her.
After watching for a while, Li Yushan raised his chin towards her and said, "Come here!"
Mo Tiange didn't move.
Li Yushan was furious. He walked over and grabbed her, shouting, "Was it you who did this?"
Mo Tiange's complexion was deathly pale. She just shook her head repeatedly.
Li Yushan stared at her for a long time as if he was looking for something. However, even after staring for a long time, he couldn't find anything unusual about her.
Of course, she didn't have a spirit tool. Even Li Yushan himself only had a small flying sword, and it was even a spirit tool of the lowest grade. Normally, he wouldn't take it out to use. Besides, spirit tools couldn't possibly escape his eyes.
As for cultivation techniques, his spiritual aura had long been sealed by him, so it was impossible for him to use spells.
However, it was a fact that the spiritual aura in the room had suddenly disappeared.
Li Yushan couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it. He loosened his grip and threw her back with a bewildered expression.
Mo Tiange was thrown back by him. Her collar was grabbed and her throat was squeezed uncomfortably. Now that she was free, she coughed repeatedly.
Li Yushan glanced at her in disgust and sat back down. However, he didn't continue cultivating. Instead, he sized her up from time to time.
Mo Tiange kept her head lowered. Her tears fell one by one onto her clothes.
Li Yushan frowned when he saw her like this, but he no longer doubted her.
She was just a little girl. Her cultivation level was lower than his, and her spiritual aura was sealed. He didn't believe she could play any tricks in front of him.
He didn't notice that Mo Tiange had subconsciously grabbed her sleeves.
Originally, she only pretended to cry so that Li Yushan wouldn't doubt her anymore. However, when she thought about the current situation, she really cried.
She hadn't cried since her mother died because her mother didn't want her to feel sad. Also, she knew there was no one who loved her and she could only rely on herself.
However, the more she thought about it, the more terrified she became. She didn't know what this person wanted to do to her, but she was sure it wasn't something good. If she couldn't escape, would she become a tool for the rest of her life? She wouldn't be able to cultivate properly, and she wouldn't be able to find her father … The terrifying scene she imagined made her face turn pale.
