The most dangerous place on Demonic Mountain was Immortal's Ruins, and the most mysterious place in Immortal's Ruins was Jade Palace.
The two of them talked about their feelings after they parted. When Mo Tiange heard Lord Daoist Jinghe went to Jade Palace, she asked about it.
Qin Xi said, "Jade Palace is said to be the Immortal Residence where immortals rested during the great war between immortals and demons, so the fallen immortals were buried nearby, forming Immortal's Ruins.
There are many relics left by immortals in Jade Palace. Although most of them are damaged and some of them are too dense for cultivators like us to use, there are also some strange things. If you get them, it'll be a great fated chance. "
Mo Tiange knew a little about this, but it seemed a bit unusual this time.
"Aside from Jade Palace, there are also many treasures in other places on Demonic Mountain, right?
Why did all the Nascent Soul cultivators go to Jade Palace this time? "
Qin Xi said with a smile, "Naturally, they got some news that there are rare treasures in Jade Palace."
At this point, a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes, and he said with uncertainty, "Master told me that a treasure appeared in the Jade Palace last time. For Nascent Soul cultivators like them, it might be able to break through in one go, so this time, many Nascent Soul cultivators want to go to the Jade Palace to try their luck."
"It's actually such a treasure?" Mo Tiange was very surprised.
The higher one's cultivation level was, the fewer treasures that could advance one's cultivation level, so most Nascent Soul cultivators were stuck in the early stage of Nascent Soul. A few entered the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and very few entered the late stage of Nascent Soul. There were only four or five in the entire Celestial Pole in the past thousands of years.
Many Nascent Soul cultivators reached the peak of their realm after hundreds of years of cultivation but lacked fated chances to advance. Their master, Lord Daoist Jinghe, was the same.
If it was really such a treasure, it was no wonder so many Nascent Soul cultivators went to Jade Palace.
"Yes."
As Qin Xi spoke, he then shook his head. "But it's hard to say. Such a treasure already appeared last time; how could it be so coincidental that it appeared again this time?
I'm a bit worried about Master's trip. "
Mo Tiange nodded, feeling a bit heavy.
With so many Nascent Soul cultivators, if there was a conflict … But with Master's strength, it shouldn't be difficult for him to stay alive.
The two of them pondered each other for a while then Qin Xi said, "Master knows what he's doing, so we don't need to worry about him.
It's getting late. Let's retrieve your father's remains and get out of here as soon as possible. "
"Yes."
Mo Tiange stood up and pondered for a moment. She then lowered her head to look at the Heavenly Aromatic Herbs that covered the entire mountain. "Since we've encountered them, why don't we take some of these Heavenly Aromatic Beans back?
It'll be easier to exchange for the Chalcedony. "
Qin Xi stared at these Heavenly Aromatic Beans and recalled what she almost experienced. He felt displeased and said, "What do you want them for?
I've found the Chalcedony. "
"Ah?" The two of them had only been apart for such a short period of time, and he already had a Chalcedony?
From inside his robe, Qin Xi took out the Xuan Fire Jade Essence. It was sparkling, translucent, and about the size of two palms.
"Where did you get such a good Chalcedony?"
Mo Tiange was pleasantly surprised as she took the Chalcedony. This kind of Chalcedony was at least several thousand years old. Furthermore, it didn't have the slightest trace of impurities; it was definitely a high-quality Chalcedony.
More importantly, there was enough chalcedony. Even if he failed, he could refine it again.
Qin Xi smiled. "The Luan and Feng Duo from Biyun Sect gave it to me. In the end, it was for Master's sake."
Mo Tiange raised her head and smiled. "Master's reputation is really valuable. Such a big chalcedony can't be bought outside."
Qin Xi also smiled. "This is great. Your Heaven and Earth Fan can finally be refined."
"En."
The other materials had long been prepared. They also found the Qiyun Stone and now they also had the thousand-year-old Chalcedony. They could refine magic weapons after returning from Demonic Mountain.
Mo Tiange put the Chalcedony into her Qiankun Bag. The two of them rested for a while then summoned their flying magic weapons, planning to leave Lonely Peak.
The two of them flew into the air. Qin Xi stood on the flying cloud and looked down at the Heavenly Aromatic Beans that covered the entire mountain. He frowned and raised his hand. Fire spiritual aura gathered in his palm, forming a fireball. With a wave of his hand, the fireball fell on the mountain peak and burst into flames.
Upon seeing this, Mo Tiange shouted, "You're burning all of them?"
These Heavenly Aromatic Herbs had been rooted here for a longer time than the spiritual plants in her Virtual Sky World. Wouldn't it be a pity to burn them?
Qin Xi snorted. "Keeping them is also a scourge!" These things might be useful to others, but for him, they were really unpleasant memories.
Mo Tiange thought about it and felt he was right. Without these Heavenly Aromatic Herbs, she wouldn't have almost experienced such a terrible thing, so she didn't say anything.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, engulfing the entire peak. Soon, all the Heavenly Aromatic Herbs were burned, and the Heavenly Aromatic Beans in the fire made crackling sounds.
Seeing that all the Heavenly Aromatic Herbs were burned, Qin Xi held her in his arms. "Let's go."
Mo Tiange nodded. It was good to burn them all. Burning them made her feel better.
She didn't want to recall that memory —
"By the way, where's Jing Xingzhi?" She suddenly thought of this question.
Qin Xi said faintly, "I told him to go first." He looked down and glanced at Mo Tiange. "I think you'll be unhappy to see him."
"…" Mo Tiange was touched. She really didn't want to see Jing Xingzhi again. It was hard for him to even think of this.
The two of them followed the Feng Shui compass left by Lord Daoist Jinghe and smoothly went out of the fog.
Lord Daoist Jinghe once said they were in the depths of Immortal's Ruins. There were too many dangers and it wasn't a place Core Formation cultivators like them should come to.
Qin Xi also knew this, so he took Mo Tiange back to Tens of Thousands of Feet Peak.
A day later, after several close calls, the two of them finally returned to their original route.
Qin Xi breathed a sigh of relief. "There aren't any demonic beasts here. If we're careful, we should be able to reach our destination in half a day."
Mo Tiange was a little excited when she thought of their destination. She nodded. "En."
The two of them walked along the rocks and entered a dense forest.
"Be careful!" Qin Xi said, "This is Bone Eroding Wood. Just a little bit will make you rot into a pile of bones in an instant."
Mo Tiange was shocked. "Its toxicity is so strong?
If we take it out, won't it be terrible when we fight against enemies? "
Qin Xi shook his head. "We can't take it out. Although the toxicity of this Bone Eroding Wood is strong, it disappears very quickly. After it's unearthed, its toxicity will completely disappear in about a day. Putting it in a jade box won't work."
"… I see."
The two of them propped up their protective spiritual aura, released their defensive magic weapons, and cautiously entered the forest.
"This way!" Qin Xi led the way, flying close to the ground.
The area of this Bone Eroding Wood was quite large. The two of them were afraid of touching the leaves, so it took them a long time to get out of the forest.
After passing through the forest of Bone Eroding Wood, the scenery in front of them changed. The sky was dark, and the ground was full of holes of various sizes. Some of the holes were still burning, making the surroundings look dark red.
Mo Tiange looked around and asked, "Why does this place look like this?" These holes were too small, so they obviously weren't volcanoes, but there were so many of them, which was really strange.
Qin Xi said, "These are traces left by ancient immortals who used fire magic."
"Fire spell …" Mo Tiange stared at the endless ruins, yearning in her heart. What kind of powerful spell would be able to leave behind such a huge trace?
Maybe these things were only done casually by an ancient immortal.
"Let's go. This way." Qin Xi once again summoned his flying cloud. He pulled Mo Tiange, floated in the air, and slowly flew to the right.
In the Bone Eroding Wood forest, they could only fly close to the ground, but above these holes, they could only fly high.
These were fire-elemental spells left behind by the immortals. They were not something that the three great True Fires of today could compare to. Although the three great True Fires were powerful, they were mortal fires. These were immortal fires. If the immortal cultivators were to face them, they would definitely not be able to withstand it.
After flying for a while, they still hadn't flown out of the ruins, so Qin Xi suddenly descended.
"Senior Martial Brother?" Mo Tiange called out, "Where are we going?"
Qin Xi said firmly, "It's down there."
Mo Tiange looked down, but there were only several dazzling holes below, and there was no other place to go.
While she was feeling bewildered, Qin Xi's flying cloud was still descending, flying into one of the holes.
"Senior Martial Brother!" This was an immortal fire. If it burned them, they wouldn't be able to bear it!
Qin Xi held her hand and comforted her. "It's okay. Don't worry."
Just as the flying cloud was about to touch the immortal fire in the hole, it suddenly flew over the immortal fire and crashed into the wall of the hole.
The flying cloud was extremely fast. Just as it was about to crash into the wall, Mo Tiange saw a cave on the wall, and the flying cloud flew into the cave in an instant.
"We're here."
Qin Xi withdrew the flying cloud, looked at the cave, and sighed. "It's been more than eighty years. I didn't expect to come back here again."
Mo Tiange glanced around. Although the entrance of the cave was very small, the inside of the cave was very spacious. She was surrounded by dark red rock walls, which looked terrifying.
Is this … the place where my father died?
Mo Tiange couldn't help but walk inside. After walking for a while, she stopped.
At the bottom of the cave, there was a stone platform. On the stone platform lay a withered skeleton. Scattered clothes hung on the body, and it was clean without any flesh, leaving only white bones.
Mo Tiange couldn't move her eyes away from this skeleton. She slowly moved until she reached the stone platform and gently knelt down.
"Father, I finally … get to see you …"
Although it was just a skeleton and she couldn't see any traces of her father, Mo Tiange still couldn't help but cry.
She remembered many, many things: her lonely childhood, her sick mother, the days when she and her mother depended on each other for survival … At that time, she longed for her father to come back and live happily with her family.
But he didn't come back even when her mother passed away.
At that time, it wasn't that she didn't hate her father, but she always thought that maybe her father also had his own difficulties. It wasn't that he didn't come to pick her up, but he definitely had other things to do.
She guessed the result correctly, but she didn't guess the reason correctly.
It wasn't that her father didn't come to pick her up because he had other things to do, but … he died here.
Before he died, he entrusted her to the only person he could trust. Unfortunately, due to a strange combination of factors, she wandered from place to place for ten years … Finally, the person he entrusted her to found her, sheltered her for several decades, and even became her lover …
Qin Xi gently knelt down beside her. "Brother Ye, this is probably the last time I'll call you Brother Ye.
Today, I came here because Tiange came to collect your remains, and I also came to give you an explanation.
I've done what I promised you all these years. Tiange has already grown up and become a Core Formation cultivator. My responsibility has finally come to an end today. "
He turned to look at Mo Tiange, smiled, and held her hand tightly. He then continued to say, "Brother Ye, that day, you said that if your daughter had a Pure Yin Constitution and spiritual roots, I'd be in charge of Dual Cultivation.
I'm well aware of what you're implying.
Although today's result is the same, I want to make it clear to you that Tiange and I love each other, so this has nothing to do with you. You … can rest assured. "
