After the big restriction on Demonic Mountain collapsed, many smaller restrictions followed suit. Almost half of Demonic Mountain was involved.
Mo Tiange and Qin Xi were lucky. They entered the Virtual Sky World in time and weren't affected.
The others, however, weren't so lucky. Very few of them managed to escape Demonic Mountain in time. Even many Nascent Soul cultivators perished inside.
This trip to Demonic Mountain was even more tragic than the one over eighty years ago. The casualties of high-level cultivators were disastrous, even more serious than the demonic beast riot last time. The Celestial Pole was in an uproar.
Of course, the two of them didn't know about these things yet.
While hiding in the Virtual Sky World, Mo Tiange occasionally opened it to look at the situation outside. She found that the chain reaction caused by the collapse of the restriction hadn't stopped. The sky fell, the earth cracked, lightning flashed, and the whole Demonic Mountain shook.
Since they couldn't go out, the two of them had to put aside the things outside for the time being and live their own lives in the Virtual Sky World.
First of all, Qin Xi lost some strength because he used his blood essence. Fortunately, the concentration of spiritual aura in the Virtual Sky World was extremely high, so it was faster to heal here than outside.
But the strange thing was that Qin Xi said the spiritual aura here had to be transformed by the Art of Three Primordial Cycles before he could quickly absorb it into his dantian. Otherwise, his cultivation speed wouldn't be much faster than outside.
The two of them pondered this situation for a long time and finally guessed that the world had changed. Cultivation techniques had also evolved, and the Virtual Sky World still maintained the concentration of spiritual aura from the Distant Past era, which was why this situation occurred.
Mo Tiange wasn't affected because she practiced cultivation techniques from the Distant Past era. As for Qin Xi, his Art of Three Primordial Cycles originated from the Distant Past era.
But Mo Tiange also thought that his Pure Yang Technique came from Yuan Bao, who lived in Zhong Muling's Virtual Sky World all year round, so why couldn't he?
After asking Qin Xi, he also couldn't understand. Perhaps Yuan Bao thought he wouldn't enter the Virtual Sky World again, so he didn't tell him some trick?
The two of them couldn't understand this problem with their cultivation levels, so they simply left it behind. In any case, it wasn't like they couldn't cultivate here.
Secondly, since they couldn't leave the Virtual Sky World, Mo Tiange had nothing to do, so she simply tidied up the medicinal fields with Qin Xi.
She had picked many ten-thousand-year-old spiritual plants but hadn't refined them into medicinal pills yet. There were still many spiritual plants growing in the medicinal fields. She instructed the two puppets to pick them one by one and reorganize the medicinal fields.
These spirit grasses were refined into pills by them.
Qin Xi's pill-concocting skills were also extremely high. With the two of them working together, their pill-concocting speed became much faster. A year later, the medicinal fields were finally tidied up.
At this time, Qin Xi's injuries were almost healed, so Mo Tiange began to consider refining her natal magic weapon.
Before this, she originally planned to ask the group's Tools Refiners to refine tools for her, but she didn't know how long she'd have to stay in the Virtual Sky World, so she could only rely on herself for everything. Thus, she began to learn tool-refining again.
However, her talent in tool-refining really wasn't very good. There were spiritual plants everywhere in the Virtual Sky World, but there weren't many materials needed for tool-refining. In the end, it was Qin Xi who couldn't bear to see her like this, so he personally refined for her.
Qin Xi's talent in miscellaneous studies was higher than hers. Whether it was pill-concocting, tool-refining, or even talisman-crafting, he had a considerable level of skill.
However, he did not dare to be careless when it came to refining a Natal Magic Treasure, so he spent a lot of time practicing again.
The two of them slowly cultivated while learning how to refine weapons. Just like that, years passed by …
In the beginning, Mo Tiange often went to see what was going on outside the Virtual Sky World, but the collapse of Demonic Mountain this time lasted for a long time. In the end, she only went to see it after a long time.
When she opened the Virtual Sky World again and saw that it was still dark outside, Mo Tiange sighed.
This was already the fifth year, but the restrictions were still unstable. She really didn't know when they could go out.
Before the restrictions collapsed, Master went to Jade Palace. She didn't know whether he escaped or not. Zhenji had been missing for several years at that time. Could he go back now?
"Don't think about it. When the time comes, you'll naturally be able to go out." Qin Xi's voice came from behind her.
Mo Tiange waved her sleeves, erased the scene outside, then turned around. "Why did you come out?"
They failed to refine the Heaven and Earth Fan once, so he shut himself in his room for many days. He said he couldn't fail again and had to carefully figure out the characteristics of the materials.
Qin Xi smiled. "I finished my research, so I came out."
"Oh?" Mo Tiange's eyes brightened. "Then can we refine it again?"
"En …" Qin Xi thought for a moment and said, "It should be possible. How's your cultivation these days?"
"Very smooth." Mo Tiange reached out her hand. "Take a look."
Qin Xi put his hand on her pulse and separated a wisp of spiritual aura to test her pulse. After a while, he withdrew his spiritual aura and said with a smile, "Your cultivation here is indeed twice the result with half the effort."
With Clear Sky Pills and the Virtual Sky World, her cultivation speed was simply fast compared to ordinary cultivators. Even if she encountered a bottleneck, she didn't need to worry too much with the experienced Qin Xi guiding her.
"What about you?
When will you form your Nascent Soul? "
The two of them were trapped here and didn't know when they could go out. Qin Xi's cultivation level had reached the peak, and his mentality had also adjusted. It could be said that forming his Nascent Soul was already a matter of course.
This question made Qin Xi ponder for a long time. In the end, he said, "When I form my Nascent Soul, I'll definitely use the Art of Three Primordial Cycles as the main method, so forming my Nascent Soul here won't affect me.
But there's no need to worry. Let's refine your natal magic weapon first. "
Mo Tiange said with a smile, "The youngest known person to form their Nascent Soul in the Celestial Pole was 208 years old. You're 206 years old now. Forming your Nascent Soul now can still set a record, but it won't be so sensational in a few years.
Don't you want to break this record? "
Qin Xi shook his head and said with a faint smile, "What's the point of fighting for these empty titles?
There's no harm in delaying it for a year or two. "
Mo Tiange felt relieved upon hearing what he said.
In the past few years, Qin Xi's mentality was too impatient, so he failed to form his Nascent Soul again and again. Now that he was so calm, it could be seen that his mentality was stable. In that case, there wouldn't be any big obstacles when he formed his Nascent Soul.
In fact, Qin Xi's mentality was originally very stable. In the past few years, he completely walked into the trap he set himself, so a loophole appeared in his mentality. The root of this loophole was Mo Tiange. Now that the two of them were already in love, he naturally restored his original calm and tranquil state of mind.
The two of them talked for a while then went back to their respective cultivations.
Their cultivation techniques didn't conflict with each other. One was a pure Yang cultivator while the other was a pure Yin cultivator, so they complemented each other. Therefore, they didn't need to use two separate cultivation rooms and could directly cultivate together in Mo Tiange's original cultivation room.
After a day of adjusting their breaths, both their spiritual aura and mentality were restored to their peak, so they prepared to refine magic weapons.
Refining a natal magic weapon was different from refining ordinary magic weapons. Even if ordinary magic weapons needed to recognize their master, the owner didn't need to be present during the refining process. Natal magic weapons, on the other hand, had to be refined with a cultivator's blood essence. Therefore, although Qin Xi took charge of refining, he still needed Mo Tiange's cooperation.
After a failed refinement, Qin Xi was particularly cautious this time. Qiyun Stones were only enough for them to refine one more time. If they failed again, they would have to look for materials again. However, Qiyun Stones were extremely difficult to find, so it might take them several decades to find them.
Qin Xi used his Extreme Yang Real Fire to refine the weapons.
Sunstone or Xiaohuo's Extreme Yang Real Fire were both good, but Qin Xi's Extreme Yang Real Fire was a bit stronger. He also had countless Restorative Panaceas to eat, so he chose to use Extreme Yang Real Fire.
Once everything was ready, the two of them closed themselves in the refining room, laid a barrier to prevent the two spiritual beasts from disturbing them, and started refining.
This refining process took more than a month.
This wasn't a long time for a natal magic weapon. If it weren't for Qin Xi's Extreme Yang Real Fire melting materials quickly and his previous practice, it would've taken at least a few months.
After more than a month, the two of them stepped out of the refining room. The Heaven and Earth Fan was completed.
Dragon bones were used as the frame, natural silk brocade as the fan surface, Qiyun Stones and Bewitching Moonlight Stones were smelted as paint, and mountains, rivers, flowers, and birds were painted on the fan surface. Finally, it was wrapped in thousand-year-old Chalcedony and refined carefully.
The hardness of dragon bones and the toughness of thousand-year-old Chalcedony were combined into one. After the Heaven and Earth Fan was successfully refined, it could basically be said to be the toughest magic weapon. Even Qin Xi's Three Yang Real Fire Sword couldn't completely destroy it.
In the beginning, the two of them had a dispute about the shape of the magic weapon.
Qin Xi naturally thought it should be a round fan, while Mo Tiange insisted on a folding fan.
It was fine if she liked to wear palace clothes, but she usually wore Xuanqing School's Daoist robes and only had one or two hairpins in her hair. How would she look holding a round fan?
It wasn't as good as a folding fan. It was suitable for both men and women, and if she occasionally wanted to dress up as a man, she could also pretend to be a scholar or something.
Qin Xi couldn't argue with her, so he had to comply.
When the Heaven and Earth Fan was finished, Mo Tiange couldn't take her eyes off it.
The landscape made of Qiyun Stones and Bewitching Moonlight Stones was so exquisite that it couldn't be distinguished from the real one. The flowers, birds, fish, and insects were vivid. Not to mention its real effect, the fan itself was already extremely beautiful.
When the two of them came out of the refining room, Qin Xi watched Mo Tiange admiring the Heaven and Earth Fan and teased her. "I said you didn't look like a woman, but it turns out you also like beautiful things."
Mo Tiange played with the Heaven and Earth Fan in her hand and said, "Who doesn't like beautiful things?
It's just that I'm rarely addicted to them. "
For example, when she first entered Xuanqing School, she also liked the hairpins and rings he gave her, but after enjoying them, cultivation was still the most important thing.
"Alright, let's try the power of the magic weapon first. Whether it's beautiful or not is secondary."
"En." Hearing Qin Xi's reminder, Mo Tiange looked up and asked, "How?"
Qin Xi thought about it and said, "This treasure can trap and kill, and it can also trap and defend. How about I try defending first?"
"Okay."
Mo Tiange waved the Heaven and Earth Fan and spread its surface. In an instant, the fan was overflowing with light, reflecting a sparkling and lifelike picture of mountains and rivers.
Qin Xi stretched out his left hand and concentrated. With a flash of golden light, the Three Yang Real Fire Sword appeared in his palm.
He shook his arm, and the sword turned into a golden light. Surrounded by the Real Fire, it circled around him twice then suddenly changed direction and rushed towards Mo Tiange.
Mo Tiange watched carefully and immediately used the Heaven and Earth Fan. The picture of mountains and rivers suddenly enlarged and shrouded the sword light like real mountains and rivers.
After being surrounded by the mountains and rivers, the sword light stopped and revealed the true form of the Three Yang Real Fire Sword.
The sword began to move left and right, but it couldn't break through the seemingly invisible mountains and rivers.
Finally, Qin Xi withdrew the Three Yang Real Fire Sword and said helplessly, "The sword itself can't break through. It seems I have to use my sword."
Mo Tiange was overjoyed that the power of the Heaven and Earth Fan was extraordinary.
Even if it was only the Three Yang Real Fire Sword itself, ordinary early stage Core Formation cultivators couldn't block it. After this test, she had great confidence in the Heaven and Earth Fan.
