Mo Tiange and Qin Xi took turns to meditate, leaving one person on guard. Clearly, they didn't trust Jing Xingzhi.
Jing Xingzhi was bored, so he said he was going to look around.
When his figure disappeared, Qin Xi, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "This brat is also dishonest."
Although Qin Xi's attitude had always been very clear that he didn't like Jing Xingzhi, he seemed to be very familiar with Jing Xingzhi. For example, if he wasn't familiar with Jing Xingzhi, he would never call him "brat."
Mo Tiange asked, "What's your relationship with him?
I always feel that although you two don't talk much, you know each other very well. "
Qin Xi smiled and said, "Of course I know him. I've known him for more than a hundred years, even earlier than Kumu and the others."
"Oh?
Why is that? "
Qin Xi didn't answer immediately. Instead, he asked her with a smile, "Why don't you guess?"
Mo Tiange thought for a while and said, "You said he was a disciple of Venerable Swordsman Zhongguang from Gujian Sect. Unfortunately, his master died early, so he wasn't very successful in Gujian Sect.
Presumably, when his master was still alive, he was also a proud son of heaven, right? "
Qin Xi nodded. "Yes."
Mo Tiange said, "Judging from his age, he seems to be about the same as you, so the difference should be no more than a hundred years.
Since the two of you are about the same age and both are proud disciples of Nascent Soul cultivators from big sects, it's not too much to say you're the same kind of people. Did you meet because of that? "
Qin Xi just smiled and pulled her to sit next to him.
"Did I guess right or not?"
"You're half right."
Qin Xi paused and said slowly, "In fact, when I met him, I didn't know his identity."
"Could it be that the two of you met each other when you were traveling?"
"Yes. At that time, I was in the middle stage of the Foundation Building realm, and so was he."
"So early?" Mo Tiange was a little surprised. Middle stage of the Foundation Building realm … Wasn't he only in his thirties or forties?
Qin Xi smiled and opened his left hand. With a dazzling golden light, the Three Yang Real Fire Sword appeared in his hand.
He looked at the sword and said with emotion, "In the blink of an eye, it's been more than 150 years. Back then, I obtained the method to refine this sword and the cultivation technique together with him. We even encountered the Yang Spiritual Bead at that time."
"What?"
Upon seeing Mo Tiange's incredulous expression, Qin Xi sheathed his sword and slowly explained in detail, "At that time, I hadn't entered the middle stage of the Foundation Building realm for long. One time, when I was outside, I happened to enter a place called Mount Lang with someone else … That place was very strange. This mountain was surrounded by excellent high-grade spirit veins, but it didn't have even the slightest bit of spiritual aura."
"No spiritual aura?" A thought flashed through Mo Tiange's mind. She asked, "Is it because of the Yang Spiritual Bead?"
Qin Xi nodded with a smile. "Yes.
It was said that a long time ago, there was an ancient immortal's cave here, so many people came here to search for treasures.
At first, I didn't believe this rumor, but I also felt that this place was strange. So, I went with the others.
"Who would have thought that when we arrived, an immortal's cave really did appear in the middle of Mount Lang. Mount Lang immediately became a living hell. Low level cultivators swarmed in, and high level cultivators appeared frequently …"
He was lost in thought for a while before continuing, "Too many people died at that time. In the end, those high-level cultivators had the upper hand and occupied the cave.
At that time, my cultivation level was still low, so I naturally didn't fight with them. I just secretly sent a message to my master, telling him about the situation here.
Then, I happened to meet Jing Xingzhi. Just like me, he happened to escape a calamity … We were in the same situation, and we were in trouble together, so we naturally joined hands. "
"What happened next?
Since you obtained the method to refine the Three Yang Real Fire Sword and the Yang Spiritual Bead, presumably Jing Xingzhi also obtained some benefits, right? "
"En," Qin Xi said faintly, "The sword in his hand is an ancient cultivation sword; it's extremely powerful.
Our luck was good. It turns out that there was an ancient Cultivation sect hidden in Mount Lang. The Immortal's Cave didn't count for much, but we found the real treasure trove.
This ancient cultivation group seemed to have been exterminated in the end, leaving behind a lot of treasures.
I guess the reason they were exterminated was probably because of the existence of the Yang Spiritual Bead. All the spirit veins in the mountain were sucked dry, so this cultivation group naturally couldn't continue to exist. "
Mo Tiange sighed with emotion. "In that case, the two of you are the biggest winners of this trip."
Qin Xi smiled. "It's not our turn.
We managed to save our lives with great difficulty. Later, Master finally arrived, and Venerable Swordsman Zhongguang also happened to come. It was only then that we found out the other party's identity.
In the end, the treasures in Mount Lang were divided among several big cultivation groups. The benefits Jing Xingzhi and I obtained couldn't be considered much. "
That was true. An entire ancient cultivation group had countless treasures. Presumably, they were only a few more than the collections of the seven big cultivation groups. Even if many of them couldn't be used anymore, they were still a huge fortune.
"But even so, I really don't have a good impression of this person.
He's much more trustworthy than Kumu and the others, but after Venerable Swordsman Zhongguang passed away, he suffered a lot of unfair treatment and attached great importance to benefits. I don't like this kind of character. "
Mo Tiange nodded. "Moreover, he's frivolous. He's not the same kind of person as us."
Upon hearing what she said, Qin Xi smiled and tightened his grip on her hand.
Jing Xingzhi had been flirting with her on the way. Although he didn't take it seriously, he always felt uncomfortable. Now that he heard what she said, he felt all the knots in his heart disappeared.
How could the woman he fancied be like those superficial people who only looked at appearances?
Even if Jing Xingzhi's face was like a peach blossom and his tongue was like honey, she still wouldn't like him.
The two of them were silently enjoying a moment of peace when Mo Tiange suddenly remembered something. "Has your spiritual aura recovered?"
Qin Xi nodded. "I have the Yang Spiritual Bead, so my spiritual aura recovers much faster. I've been fine for a long time."
Mo Tiange paused for a moment and suddenly understood.
In other words, he deliberately let Jing Xingzhi leave just now to avoid talking to me?
Thinking up to this point, Mo Tiange felt her face burning. She coughed and said, "Then we …"
"Let's talk about it later," Qin Xi said, "When I said this boy wasn't honest, I didn't just say it casually."
Mo Tiange was stunned. "What did you see?"
Qin Xi snorted and said, "With his character, if he didn't have certain benefits, he wouldn't have followed us to Immortal's Ruins. I'm sure his original purpose was here!"
Mo Tiange knew nothing about Jing Xingzhi's character, so she couldn't say anything. However, Qin Xi was never a person who talked nonsense. Since he said it, he must have his reasons.
"If that's the case, won't he implicate us?"
Qin Xi shook his head. "Let's wait and see. Although he and I aren't friends, we've been friends for more than a hundred years.
He's a person who values benefits, but he won't stab us in the back. At most, he'll tell us to pray for our own luck. "
Mo Tiange nodded. "You believe him, and I believe you."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xi smiled and said softly, "When we go back, we'll report it to master … okay?"
Mo Tiange naturally understood the meaning of his words, but she was a bit hesitant. "This … Let's talk about it later."
Qin Xi was stunned. "Why?" Didn't she agree?
Mo Tiange looked away and avoided his gaze. "When we go back, you'll enter Closed Door Meditation to form your Nascent Soul, right?"
This was almost certain.
He already said that he failed to form his Nascent Soul three times because he missed her. He tried everything he could but couldn't get rid of her. Now that they were committed, with his character, he'd naturally go back to form his Nascent Soul.
"Of course," Qin Xi said, "When we find your father's corpse, we can go back.
Now that everything is ready, we won't have to worry about forming our Nascent Soul. "
"…"
Seeing that she didn't speak, Qin Xi's expression slowly darkened. "Tiange, what are you thinking?
Why do I feel like I still can't understand you?
You're not willing to rely on me too much, so I can understand you. But now, we're already … Don't you want to perform Dual Cultivation with me? "
Mo Tiange was stunned for a while before she said, "I just think now isn't the right time.
You want to form your Nascent Soul, so you naturally can't be distracted. As for me … I also need some time to adapt to core-formation.
Let's take it slow. "
"…" Qin Xi didn't say anything, but his gaze revealed his displeasure.
After a while, he said, "I originally didn't plan to perform Dual Cultivation before I formed my Nascent Soul, but … I don't want to wait anymore."
"Why?" Mo Tiange couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it good for us to be like this now?"
She asked too quickly as if she was unwilling, so Qin Xi's expression didn't look good.
He calmed down and asked, "Then … after we go back, are you willing to move to my Immortal's Cave?"
Mo Tiange was stunned. "You have to enter Closed Door Meditation to form your Nascent Soul, and I might also enter Closed Door Meditation during this period of time. This … isn't necessary, right?"
Qin Xi smiled with a hint of self-mockery. "You see … you're always so restrained, which gives me the illusion that you don't have that many feelings.
Sometimes I feel strange. How can there be a woman like you?
So calm that people feel you're heartless. "
This obviously wasn't a compliment; his tone even carried a hint of complaint.
People were always strange like this. He hoped to have a quiet and rational woman who wouldn't affect his cultivation, but she was too quiet and rational, which made him feel unreconciled. He always felt he wasn't that important in her heart.
Mo Tiange didn't refute him. She was silent for a while then said slowly, "I … thought about it a long time ago. We're cultivators, so we're different from mortals.
Even if we live together, so what?
Cultivators spend most of their long lives in Closed Door Meditation. How much time do we really have together?
Maybe not as much as mortal couples.
That being the case, why should we be in such a hurry? "
"Yes, you're right.
However, there's a way to solve this. "
Mo Tiange was puzzled. "What way?"
"We practice the same cultivation technique," Qin Xi said.
"With our constitutions, Dual Cultivation is better than others. If we practice the same cultivation technique, our progress will definitely be amazing."
Mo Tiange was shocked. "You mean, we should give up our current cultivation technique and practice Dual Cultivation?"
"En."
Mo Tiange once again fell silent after receiving confirmation.
Dual Cultivation techniques were cultivation techniques that Dao companions practicing Dual Cultivation together practiced. The most famous Dual Cultivation group in the Celestial Pole was Biyun Sect, one of the seven great cultivation groups. Most of the disciples of Biyun Sect practiced Dual Cultivation techniques, and only when a man and a woman practiced Dual Cultivation together could they achieve miraculous results.
However, they were different. She and Qin Xi each had their own special cultivation techniques. Her Sunu Art of the Origin, while his Art of Three Primordial Cycles and Pure Yang Technique had already reached a certain realm. Furthermore, they were very compatible with each other's constitutions.
With their current situation, they usually cultivated separately. Occasionally … occasionally being together was enough for the cycle of Yin and Yang. It would be a pity if they gave up.
"This … We don't have a suitable cultivation technique. Besides, if we did that, wouldn't my Spiritual Roots of the Origin be meaningless?"
"This is different," Qin Xi said firmly.
"Just tell me if you agree or not. If you agree, I'll take care of these things."
