After a simple ceremony with Qin Xi, Mo Tiange apologized to the skeleton and put it into the jar she prepared one by one, preparing to take it back to the secular world and bury it with her mother.
When she was traveling in the Foundation Building realm, she wanted to go back to the Mo Family's Village. At that time, she had already entered the territory of Jin, but she was attracted by the spiritual aura fluctuation of Ziwei's Immortal's Cave. It had been 76 years since she went back.
76 years … Her grandparents and uncles must've turned into skeletons, and Tianjun and the others must've died, right?
She didn't know if her mother's grave was taken care of …
In a few days, she planned to go back to the Mo Family's Village in Jin to move her mother's remains and Second Uncle's ashes back to the Ye family's ancestral grave.
After putting away her father's remains, Mo Tiange looked up and carefully looked at the cave they hid in. The rock walls were illuminated by the immortal fire, which was very hot.
"Did you hide here?"
Qin Xi crouched down and poked the corner with the Three Yang Real Fire Sword as if he was looking for something. When he heard her voice, he answered, "When the restrictions on Demonic Mountain collapsed, your father and I hid in Tens of Thousands of Feet Peak. After things stabilized a bit, we found we couldn't get out, so we went to Immortal's Ruins.
The reason I came here is because I want to cultivate a secret technique.
At that time, your father was seriously injured. If we left him alone, he wouldn't have lived for more than a few days. He saved me on the way, so I brought him here. "
"I see …" This was indeed the best place to practice Yang spells. Fire was the most important element of Yang, especially since this place was full of immortal fire.
After a while, Qin Xi breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. "I finally found it."
Mo Tiange asked curiously, "What are you looking for?"
Qin Xi walked back and spread his hands. "Here, it's this." Several pitch-black stones lay in his palm.
Mo Tiange picked one up and felt the heat was pressing down on her.
She thought about it and was surprised. "Are these Fire Essence Stones?"
Qin Xi nodded with a smile. "Yes, they are."
The so-called Fire Essence Stone was a kind of ore produced in places with abundant Real Fire and was commonly known as the essence of fire.
In the beginning, the Fire Essence Stone was red. As the Real Fire Essence Stone burned for a long time, the red became darker and darker until it finally turned black.
These Fire Essence Stones were pitch-black in color. Clearly, they were of the highest grade.
"This is what you want to get?"
"Yes."
Qin Xi said, "Back then, I found Fire Pith Stones in this fire pit. I tried my best to take them out of the immortal fire, but the fire was still too strong. I couldn't take them away, so I hid them here."
"So, you wanted to come back back then?"
"There's nothing we can do about it.
Back then, you left in such a hurry that you didn't even take your father's corpse with you. Naturally, you have to come back. "
When he mentioned this matter, Mo Tiange once again recalled what he said. "Right, what did my father promise you back then?
Why did you say … that the matter of dual cultivation is up to you? "
Upon hearing this, Qin Xi coughed and looked away. "This …"
Upon noticing that his face was a bit red, Mo Tiange became even more curious. "What? Is there something you can't say?"
"… There's no harm in telling you."
Qin Xi smiled and said slowly, "No matter which cultivator you tell about a Pure Yin Constitution, they might be tempted. Your father thought of this, so he said this.
This means that I can choose a dual cultivation partner for you, no matter who it is. "
"You can also choose yourself?"
"This … Your father indeed had this intention … But I didn't have this idea at that time. Believe me …"
Upon seeing him hurriedly denying it, Mo Tiange smiled. "It's not like I don't believe you. What's the rush?"
She sighed and said, "I understand what my father meant. In that case, although I don't have the freedom to perform dual cultivation, I can still cultivate diligently. I also have a backer … Relatively speaking, I still have a future." If the person her father entrusted to wasn't him, this would probably be her future.
"Correct …" Qin Xi said, "I won't deny that back then. If you really had a Pure Yin Constitution and spiritual roots, it would be good for Xuanqing School to accept you as a disciple and have Dual Cultivation with other disciples … But you ran away by yourself, so I didn't think about this matter anymore."
The two of them were silent for a while. Mo Tiange smiled and said, "Forget it. Let's not talk about this anymore. We've already achieved our goal. Are we going to leave now?"
"En."
Qin Xi nodded. "Master specifically reminded me to leave as soon as we finished our business. He said there might be a collapse of a big restriction this time, and it might be even bigger than last time. It wouldn't be good if we got implicated."
Mo Tiange didn't object.
Aside from being fed Heavenly Aromatic Beans, she didn't suffer any injuries. The effects of the Heavenly Aromatic Beans had long worn off, so she had abundant spiritual power now.
"Then let's go. It'll be half a month in three to five days. It's hard to say when the restriction at the entrance of Demonic Mountain will appear."
The two of them rested for a while, prepared everything and went out the way they came.
Mo Tiange looked at the countless holes on the ground burning with immortal fire. She suddenly thought of something and asked Qin Xi, "Even the ordinary stones here probably have the power of immortal fire sealed in them, right?"
Qin Xi nodded. "Yes. Why do you ask?"
Mo Tiange said, "Then … Do you have a way to get some up here?"
Qin Xi glanced at her but didn't say anything. He took out the Three Yang Real Fire Sword, which emitted a dazzling light. The sword light shot straight down and instantly shot back.
He stretched out his hand and used his fire spiritual aura to catch several stones. He handed them to her and said, "Put them in a jade box." They were just ordinary stones. Even if they were calcined by immortal fire, they should still be preserved in a jade box.
Mo Tiange obediently put them in the jade box and asked him to use the Three Yang Real Fire Sword to get some more stones back. Only when the jade box was full did she put it into her Qiankun Bag.
After watching her put the stones away, Qin Xi asked, "You don't practice fire spells. What do you need these stones for?"
Mo Tiange smiled and patted her spiritual beast pouch. "You forgot that I have Xiaohuo!"
"Oh!"
Qin Xi suddenly understood. That little spiritual beast was born with Sun Real Fire. If it practiced well, it would definitely be a good helper in the future.
After thinking for a while, Qin Xi said, "You have Xiaohuo for spiritual beasts, and you have the Soul-Refining Art for unique skills. If you refine the Heaven and Earth Fan, you won't lose to ordinary middle stage Core Formation cultivators in fights of magical powers. If the power of the Heaven and Earth Fan is amazing, you can also fight against late stage Core Formation cultivators.
However, you'd better practice several secret techniques. There are always variables in fights of magical powers, so save some unique skills to save your life. "
"En."
Mo Tiange also thought about this. Her best unique skill to save her life was the Virtual Sky World. Of course, after the incident with Ren Yufeng, she realized that no unique skill was completely reliable, so she'd better prepare several backup plans.
"Unfortunately, we didn't get any useful treasures on this trip. Otherwise, your cultivation level could also improve."
Mo Tiange thought about it and held back her words.
She wasn't in a hurry to improve her cultivation level. She had an unlimited supply of Clear Sky Pills and her qualifications weren't bad. Reaching the peak stage of the Core Formation realm was only a matter of time. This time, she found the thousand-year-old Chalcedony and the Qiyun Stone, so she was already very happy.
"Senior Martial Brother, now that you've found the Fire Essence Stone, are you going to enter Closed Door Meditation when we go back?"
"En."
Qin Xi nodded. He keenly noticed that she was a bit depressed, so he asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Mo Tiange was stunned for a while then sighed. "I think this time, you must be very confident in advancing to the Nascent Soul realm, right?
At that time, our cultivation levels will be one big realm apart … "
"What's the matter?" Qin Xi said with a smile, "Which pair of Dual Cultivation Partners doesn't have a cultivation level gap?
Even among the Luan and Feng Couple, Ding Luan's cultivation level is slightly higher than Feng Xiao's, but don't they still cultivate and live together? "
"That's true …" But Mo Tiange always felt that the cultivation level gap between them was a bit too big.
It wasn't that there weren't Nascent Soul cultivators and Core Formation cultivators who became partners, but relatively speaking, the proportion of female cultivators among Nascent Soul cultivators was very small. Many male cultivators married Core Formation female cultivators, but their Dual Cultivation relationships were mostly subordinate … Of course, she wasn't worried about Qin Xi. How could she not trust him now?
However, this couldn't go on. Cultivators in the same realm should communicate more and help each other, so their relationship would be more stable.
Qin Xi thought for a while then said, "What I said last time — we'll practice the same cultivation technique. Have you thought about it?"
"About that … It's a good method. You were very confident last time, so did you prepare for it?"
Qin Xi smiled. "Of course."
Mo Tiange was curious. "You know our physiques are special, and the cultivation technique we practice is also special. Does the Dual Cultivation technique you mentioned also have this miraculous effect?"
Qin Xi smiled but didn't answer. He was anxious because of her urging, so he just said, "You'll know later."
The two of them talked all the way back along the path they came from. After half a day, they finally returned to Tens of Thousands of Feet Peak. They spent another day going down from Tens of Thousands of Feet Peak.
Once they were out of the range of Tens of Thousands of Feet Peak, both of them heaved sighs of relief. There were many dangers in Immortal's Ruins, so it was much safer down there.
But after a while, Mo Tiange was surprised.
"What are they doing?"
This was the third time she saw a group of people fighting each other. They fought irrationally, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. The scene was so tragic that she couldn't bear to see it.
Qin Xi frowned and said, "The restrictions on Demonic Mountain only disappear for about a month, and it's already been more than half a month. Presumably, these people have already found all the treasures they can find inside, and those who can't can only target other people."
"…" Mo Tiange also heard a lot of these things. But this time, the people fighting each other had extremely high cultivation levels. Most of them were in the Core Formation realm, and there were very few in the Foundation Building realm.
She thought about Jade Palace again. So many Nascent Soul cultivators went there for the same unique treasure, so a fierce battle was inevitable.
This time, even if the restrictions on Demonic Mountain didn't collapse, many people would've died.
The two of them had achieved their purpose of entering Demonic Mountain, so they didn't want to get involved in these things. Whenever they encountered a fight, they avoided it.
But they were lucky. They often encountered fights where both sides were injured or even killed, so they took a lot of Qiankun Bags along the way.
These Qiankun Bags alone were already a great fortune.
After picking up another batch of Qiankun Bags, Mo Tiange smiled until her eyes narrowed. "It's really interesting. They fight to death, but we're better off picking up ready-made treasures."
Qin Xi also smiled and said shamelessly, "If everyone was as smart as us, of course we wouldn't be able to pick up any treasures.
Put them all away. Maybe there are some treasures inside. "
"En."
Mo Tiange didn't stand on ceremony and put all the Qiankun Bags into her bosom. There were so many of them. They might even be richer than her own net worth.
Just as they were counting, they suddenly heard a muffled thunder in the sky.
Qin Xi looked up and saw that in the sky, where spiritual aura and devil aura intertwined, the wind and clouds surged and violently collided. The spiritual aura and devil aura in Demonic Mountain instantly became chaotic.
"Not good!
The restrictions collapsed! "
