After Mo Tiange said that, the three Core Formation elders sank into contemplation.
In the end, Elder Qingyi heaved a sigh then waved her hand. "You guys can go.
Little Friend Ye, thank you very much for your words today. As for the matter of refining pills, we will naturally do our best to cooperate. "
Mo Tiange bowed and no longer said anything. Accompanied by Wei Haolan, she stepped into the Transporting Formation and left the third floor.
Upon reaching the second floor, Wei Haolan couldn't help but take a second look at Mo Tiange. "Fellow Daoist Ye, are you really in the late stage of the Foundation Building realm?"
When Mo Tiange saw the vigilance in Wei Haolan's eyes and recalled what Wei Haolan said to her before they went up, Mo Tiange knew Wei Haolan was now suspicious of her.
However, aside from borrowing the Transporting Formation, Mo Tiange didn't have any other requests from Bixuan Court. Because of that, she was also frank and open, allowing Mo Tiange to size her up.
"That's right. When I'm outside, I have to be careful. I didn't mean to deceive you. Please forgive me, Sect Master Wei."
Upon seeing Mo Tiange's natural demeanor and the fact that the three elders didn't make things difficult for her and even spoke to her, Wei Haolan finally stopped thinking about her. "Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Ye. I'll naturally obey the elders' orders."
Even so, Wei Haolan still turned her face away. She must have felt uncomfortable when she realized that the person she was talking about was hiding something from her.
Although the two of them could not be considered friends, after so many days together, they had developed a certain level of trust in each other. Some words were spoken because of this trust.
Therefore, even though Wei Haolan knew that it was not her fault, she was still unhappy.
Mo Tiange didn't say anything. The two of them walked in silence until they reached the first floor.
The middle-aged male cultivator surnamed Shangguan was still there. When he saw them coming down, he stood up and greeted them. "Sect Head, Fellow Daoist Ye."
This person was very polite to Mo Tiange. When they first met, surprise flashed in his eyes. Mo Tiange originally thought he was used to being polite and courteous to female cultivators in a cultivation group for female cultivators, so she didn't pay much attention to him.
In reality, this person had been carefully trained by the three Core Formation Elders. He himself was already in the peak stage of the Foundation Building Realm. Why would he be so polite to a cultivator in the early stage of the Foundation Building Realm?
It was naturally because his cultivation level was slightly higher than Mo Tiange's, so as soon as she came in, he discovered that this Fellow Daoist Ye was actually a late stage Foundation Building cultivator.
Some things could be traced, but they were originally scattered and could not be pieced together.
However, if one obtained the answer, one would discover that there were clues everywhere.
As she thought up to this point, Mo Tiange's expression began to waver.
Wasn't it the same back then?
Before he discovered it, he didn't suspect anything at all. But when he thought about it, he realized that the answer was only natural.
However, she still didn't want to face the answer. After all … they wouldn't be related in the future.
"Fellow Daoist Ye?" Wei Haolan's voice rang in his ears.
Mo Tiange regained her train of thought. She cupped her hands to salute the male cultivator then went down the Dao-Achieving Pagoda with Wei Haolan.
After exiting the Dao-achieving Pagoda, she raised her head to look at the pagoda floating in the clouds. She couldn't help but sigh.
It was actually able to make her Spirit-Concealing Pendant lose its effect. From this, it could be seen how amazing the restrictions in this Dao Attainment Pagoda were. Furthermore, this pagoda was created by a Nascent Soul female cultivator.
Who said that female cultivators were inferior to male cultivators?
There were also geniuses among them, but there weren't many female cultivators who were willing to work hard.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, aside from your cultivation level, do you really not have anything else to hide?" Wei Haolan also stopped in front of the pagoda and stared at Mo Tiange.
Mo Tiange shifted her gaze from the pagoda and showed a faint smile. "Maybe I'm hiding something, but I can assure Sect Head Wei that these things are of no importance to Bixuan Court."
She also hid her name and master — this was Lord Daoist Jinghe's request. The reason for this was because before she left, Master Song Feng came looking for revenge and even said he wouldn't let this enmity rest.
Although this master of hers cared about his reputation, he wasn't pedantic. He was willing to hide her master's identity to avoid unnecessary danger.
For outsiders, however, it didn't matter whose disciple she was in Xuanqing School.
Wei Haolan stared at her for a long time before she finally withdrew her gaze and accepted Mo Tiange's explanation. "That being the case, I won't meddle too much.
Fellow Daoist Ye, it won't be a problem to start concocting medicinal pills tomorrow, right? "
Mo Tiange nodded. "No problem." For her, concocting Clear Sky Pills didn't require much preparation.
"Then I'll take Fellow Daoist back."
"Thank you for your trouble."
The two of them walked together without saying a word along the way.
When they weren't far from the VIP building, a maid ran towards them in a hurry. When she saw Wei Haolan, her expression was filled with joy, but it was immediately covered with worry. She ran towards Wei Haolan and saluted her. "Sect Head!"
Wei Haolan noticed the anxiety in her tone, so she stopped and said to Mo Tiange, "Fellow Daoist Ye, I won't be seeing you off. Please don't take offense."
Mo Tiange understood what Wei Haolan meant. "Sect Head Wei, you don't have to be so polite. I'll go back now. Goodbye."
The two of them nodded at each other then Mo Tiange turned around and entered the courtyard.
From afar, she could faintly hear the maid's voice. "Sect Head, another of our disciples is missing …"
Mo Tiange's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't stop and directly entered the VIP building.
Once they saw her coming in, Yi Liu and Yi Qiu both looked happy and rushed towards her. "Senior Ye!"
Mo Tiange was astonished. "What's wrong?" The two of them looked very anxious just now as if they'd been waiting for her to come back.
Yi Qiu turned around and picked up the Feifei from behind. "I don't know what's going on, but Feifei hasn't been in high spirits today."
Feifei was this Feifei's name. Ever since she received this Feifei, Yi Liu and Yi Qiu asked her to name it. Mo Tiange didn't know how to name it, so since it was a Feifei, she'd just call it Feifei, just like how the Inferno Beast was called Xiaohuo.
Yi Liu and Yi Qiu protested. How could she name it so casually? But their protests were useless. She was too lazy to give it another name, so she could only call it Feifei.
Mo Tiange picked up the Feifei and looked at it. The originally lively little spiritual beast was now dispirited. Its eyes were half-closed, and it didn't look like it was sleeping like the day she picked it up. Instead, it looked lethargic.
After sensing it with her divine comprehension, she said, "It's alright. It's just that I didn't have time to take care of it these days. It's in a bad mood, so it's lethargic."
"Oh …" Yi Liu and Yi Qiu felt relieved, but at the same time, they were reluctant to part with it. "I thought Senior couldn't take care of it while you were concocting pills, so we could continue to take care of it. It seems we have to return it to Senior."
Mo Tiange smiled but didn't say anything. She picked up the Feifei, took the spiritual fruit Yi Liu gave her, and personally fed it.
Feifei obviously didn't have much appetite and refused to eat.
Seeing that it was still lethargic, Yi Liu and Yi Qiu couldn't bear to tease it anymore, so they reluctantly returned it to Mo Tiange.
When the two of them left, Mo Tiange specifically told them that she had to rest well and prepare to concoct pills the next day.
Yi Liu and Yi Qiu had already received instructions from the Sect Head, so they immediately said that they wouldn't let anyone disturb them.
After the two of them left, Mo Tiange opened the formation in the house and entered the Virtual Sky World with Feifei in her arms.
Once they entered the Virtual Sky World, Feifei, who was half-dead a moment ago, suddenly opened its eyes wide. It jumped down from Mo Tiange's arms and threw itself into the small house. It rolled around on the praying mat, making "wu wu" sounds and looking very happy.
Mo Tiange couldn't help but laugh. She grabbed a praying mat from the side and sat down. She then reached out to pinch its round nose. "You mischievous spirit, you actually wanted to come in, didn't you?"
A few days ago, she took Feifei into the Virtual Sky World once. Feifei was as happy as Xiaohuo when it came in for the first time.
Later, she was busy with concocting pills, so she left it to Yi Liu and Yi Qiu to take care of.
She didn't expect that this little guy would never forget about it and even pretended to be sick.
If it weren't for the contract between her and Feifei, she really would've been deceived by it.
Speaking of which, were spiritual beasts more sensitive to the space inside the Virtual Sky World?
Xiaohuo was like this, and so was Feifei.
Or could it be said that all living things were passed down from the Distant Past era to the present day? Humans gradually became more rational while spiritual beasts retained their instincts, so they had the mark of the Distant Past era in their bodies?
Because of that, they preferred the space from the Distant Past era, such as this Virtual Sky World.
Feifei raised its head, arched its head next to her, grabbed her clothes with its teeth, and dragged her outside.
Mo Tiange helplessly stood up and followed it. "What are you doing?
I let you in, so you should behave a little more, right? "
Although Feifei was intelligent, it was only a first rank demonic beast. It was inferior to Xiaohuo, who had lived in the Virtual Sky World for many years. Fortunately, she and Feifei had a contract, so she could roughly sense its mood.
Mo Tiange saw it trotting along the ridge of fields she opened. As it ran, it sniffed as if it was looking for something.
Finally, Feifei stopped under a tree.
It was a tree that was entirely yellow.
Different from ordinary trees, its yellow color wasn't the yellow of a withered tree that had reached the limit of its life and was about to shed its leaves. Instead, it was a kind of brilliant and colorful golden yellow that was about to be harvested. Its branches and leaves were lush and full of fruits.
Mo Tiange knew this tree was called the Flowerless Golden Tree, and the fruits it bore were called the Flowerless Golden Fruit.
It ripened once in a hundred years, and its fruits would dry up after being picked.
Its fruits and leaves could be used to concoct medicinal pills, but they were high grade medicinal pills that Mo Tiange couldn't use right now. There were too many spiritual beasts like this in the Virtual Sky World, so she was too lazy to care about them. She just let the Flowerless Golden Tree bear fruit, and the fruits fell to the ground and grew into small saplings.
At that moment, Feifei circled around the tree, turned its head, and squeaked at Mo Tiange.
Mo Tiange said, "This Flowerless Golden Fruit can only be taken by cultivators above the Nascent Soul realm. You're only a first rank spiritual beast now. What if your spiritual aura explodes after eating it?"
Feifei widened its black eyes and glared at her for a while. It then bit the hem of her clothes and squeaked again.
Mo Tiange sensed with her divine sense that Feifei seemed very sure this fruit was harmless to her. She thought for a moment then nodded. "Alright, I'll let you eat one first. If there's nothing wrong, you can eat whatever you want in the future as long as you don't eat it all up.
But if there's something wrong, you're not allowed to touch these spiritual plants carelessly. "
Feifei raised its head and squeaked happily. It then circled around her left and right.
Mo Tiange smiled, raised her hand, and gently picked one of the fruits. She then crouched down and held it in front of Feifei. "Here, be careful. The spiritual aura inside is very strong."
"Wuwu." Feifei snorted and bit the Flowerless Golden Fruit.
The Flowerless Golden Fruit looked a bit like a plum, but its outer skin was golden. When Feifei bit it, the skin immediately broke, revealing the golden flesh inside.
It hastily opened its mouth wide and swallowed the fruit in one gulp. It didn't even chew. In the end, it even stuck out its tongue and sucked all the juice that dripped down.
Mo Tiange smelled a very fragrant aroma.
This was a unique aroma. It wasn't as intoxicating as the aroma of flowers, nor was it as rich as the aroma of musk and the like. Instead, it was very sweet, carrying the aroma of earth and green leaves.
This aroma quickly faded, but it still didn't disperse. It was as if the fur on Feifei's whole body carried this aroma.
Feifei was very satisfied after eating the Flowerless Golden Fruit. It lay on the ground, enjoying the gentle breeze, and even rolled around.
However, its expression soon turned to one of pain. Mo Tiange immediately sensed it due to the connection between them.
"Feifei!"
Mo Tiange looked down and saw that Feifei, who was enjoying itself a moment ago, was now enveloped by a golden aura. This was an extremely strong spiritual aura, even surpassing the spiritual pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Mo Tiange was filled with regret. No matter how smart Feifei was, it was only a first rank spiritual beast that hadn't grown up yet. How could it know that there were some things it could eat and some things it couldn't?
If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have let it eat indiscriminately.
