Lord Daoist Zhenyang originally planned to organize Qin Xi's Soul-Formation Ceremony on a large scale like Lord Daoist Xuanyin did last time, but Qin Xi refused.
In his opinion, since Xuanqing School's reputation was flourishing day by day and Tiandao Sect was declining day by day, it would be too domineering and disagreeable for them if they still held a big event like last time. It would be better to keep a low profile.
After thinking about it, Lord Daoist Zhenyang accepted.
Xuanqing School had never been a high-profile cultivation group, so it was better for them to be a bit more modest.
After Mo Tiange heard what he said, she laughed inwardly.
In the end, it was just that he found it troublesome and didn't want to socialize with others!
However, this was for the best. At that time, she would have to go out and meet people, and she was also afraid of trouble.
Upon learning that Mo Tiange had returned safely, her friends in the school all sent her greetings through Summoning Talismans. Among them, Luo Fengxue even paid her a visit.
Mo Tiange hadn't returned for ten years, but she heard a lot of gossip from Luo Fengxue.
First of all, after Junior Martial Brother Bai Yanfei married Senior Martial Sister Wu, he discovered that although this Senior Martial Sister Wu was gentle and honest, she had a stubborn temper and always tried to control him, which annoyed him endlessly. However, his master, Lord Daoist Zhenyang, also protected Senior Martial Sister Wu, leaving him helpless.
Speaking of this matter, Luo Fengxue took pleasure in Junior Martial Brother Bai's misfortune. She rudely mocked that Junior Martial Brother Bai deserved it.
As for Junior Martial Sister Jiang, she had been living a good life for the past few decades.
Her aptitude wasn't bad in the first place. After decades of dedicated cultivation, she actually rushed from the early stage of the Foundation Building realm to the late stage in one go!
This kind of speed was rare in the entire Celestial Pole. If her cultivation went smoothly in the future, she might be able to form her Gold Core when she was about 150 years old.
As for that Junior Martial Brother Bai, he had yet to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment. Seeing that Junior Martial Sister Jiang, whom he looked down upon, had caught up to him, he wondered if he regretted it.
Regarding this matter, Luo Fengxue said, "In my opinion, it's fortunate that Junior Martial Sister Jiang didn't marry him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have the achievements she has today.
It's a pity that Senior Sister Wu has to take care of chores for him every day. She doesn't even have much time to cultivate. Sigh! "
Luo Fengxue was very popular among female disciples. Since Senior Martial Sister Wu had a gentle temperament, presumably, Luo Fengxue also had a good relationship with Senior Martial Sister Wu.
Putting this matter aside, his old friends were all doing well at the moment.
During these ten years, Senior Martial Brother Kuang Zhu of Soul's Retreat Peak had already formed his Gold Core.
Roughly estimating, the first time Mo Tiange met him was almost seventy years ago. At that time, he was already in the late stage of the Foundation Building realm. His cultivation had been very smooth, and it was only a matter of time before he formed his Gold Core.
Ye Jingwen, on the other hand, was rather pitiful. He had tried once but failed to form his Gold Core.
However, he was still young, only a little over a hundred years old, so there was no need to be anxious.
They hadn't seen each other for ten years, so Luo Fengxue spoke for a long time before leaving. In the end, Luo Fengxue mischievously congratulated Mo Tiange. "Tiange, I still haven't congratulated you. How did Dual Cultivation feel?"
Mo Tiange was embarrassed by her laughter, so she pretended to be angry and said, "I still haven't settled the accounts with you. What Senior Martial Brother Qin? You also cheated me!"
Luo Fengxue burst into laughter. "You're the one who thinks that. At most, I just didn't clarify things; I didn't lie to you."
"Yes!
You clearly knew I was deceived, yet you still followed along and hid it from me! "Mo Tiange grunted.
"Alright, alright!"
Luo Fengxue finished laughing and put her arm around Mo Tiange's shoulder. "When Martial Uncle Shoujing brought you back, I knew the relationship between the two of you wasn't ordinary. But now that things have come to this, I still find it inconceivable.
You're really a lucky guy! "
Mo Tiange also laughed. "Similarly, he's also a lucky guy!"
Luo Fengxue was stunned, but she soon burst into laughter and patted Mo Tiange's shoulder. "Alright, since you want to move your Immortal's Cave, I won't give you any more trouble. I'll head back first. Remember to chat with me later when you have time."
"En." Mo Tiange stood up and saw her out.
After leaving her Immortal's Cave, Luo Fengxue flew into the air. When she looked down, she happened to see Mo Tiange welcoming Qin Xi inside. She couldn't help but sigh.
It seemed Second Senior Martial Sister was going to be sad. However, when she recalled Mo Tiange saying "he's also a lucky guy," Luo Fengxue felt that this had nothing to do with aptitude or identity. Perhaps this was where Second Senior Martial Sister was inferior to Mo Tiange?
Right after Luo Fengxue left, Qin Xi came and immediately asked her, "When are you moving?"
Upon hearing his impatient tone, Mo Tiange smiled. "Why are you in such a hurry?
It's not like I won't move. "
Qin Xi said bluntly, "I miss you."
Although the two of them had long been intimate, Mo Tiange still blushed when she heard this. "Alright, the steward's hall has taken care of the matter, so I can go now."
Qin Xi was overjoyed. He took her hand and walked away. "Let's go then!"
"Hey!" Mo Tiange said helplessly, "There's still something else!"
Qin Xi widened his eyes. "Didn't you say everything was taken care of?
Why is there something else? "
He looked suspicious. Obviously, he thought this was just an excuse. Mo Tiange felt annoyed and amused at the same time. She said, "Why are you in such a hurry to go back?
Those things will be taken care of by the steward's hall. It's not dark yet, so we can go see Master! "
"Oh."
At the mention of Lord Daoist Jinghe, Qin Xi's suspicious expression disappeared. He asked her, "What medicinal pills should we give to Master?"
Mo Tiange thought for a moment then said, "Nine Revolutions Spiritual Heart Pill, Extreme Pure Golden Pill, Taiyi Pulse Moistening Pill — all of these are fine.
In addition, we'll also bring two Flowerless Golden Fruits. "
"Flowerless Golden Fruits wither soon after they're picked. Isn't this a bit hard to explain?"
Mo Tiange smiled. "What's hard to explain?
You're already a Nascent Soul cultivator. It shouldn't be a problem for you to preserve them for a year or so, right? "
Qin Xi thought for a moment then nodded. "You're right. If we surround the Flowerless Golden Fruits with a large amount of spiritual aura and seal them with special talismans, they won't be preserved for a long time, but they'll be fine for a year or so."
After that, the two of them entered the Virtual Sky World to prepare.
There were two Flowerless Golden Trees inside the Virtual Sky World. One of them was bearing fruit, which was useful for cultivators above the Nascent Soul realm. Mo Tiange was still in the Core Formation realm, and Qin Xi had just reached the Nascent Soul realm, so they hadn't picked it yet.
These two Flowerless Golden Trees were tens of thousands of years old. They were relatively long-lived spiritual trees that bore fruit once every hundred years, and only a few fruits would be born each time.
They carefully picked them and put them in jade boxes. Qin Xi also used some methods to seal the spiritual aura.
Soon after, the two of them left the Virtual Sky World and went to Shangqing Palace together.
Lord Daoist Jinghe was still in the Closed Door Meditation Room, and this time, Lord Daoist Zhenyang was also present.
Upon seeing them, Lord Daoist Zhenyang smiled kindly. "Shoujing, Qingwei, why are you here?"
The Soul-Formation Ceremony hadn't been held yet, but just like Tiange, Qin Xi still called out, "Martial Uncle Zhenyang."
"Okay, okay, you don't have to be so polite." They were only halfway through their greetings when Lord Daoist Zhenyang lifted them up.
The happiest person about Qin Xi's soul-formation was actually Lord Daoist Zhenyang.
Mo Tiange and Qin Xi stood up then greeted Lord Daoist Jinghe. "Master."
Lord Daoist Jinghe was in good spirits today, so he said with a smile, "Stand up. I've never seen the two of you so polite before. You're indeed different after getting married."
Upon hearing his teasing, Mo Tiange felt relieved. Apparently, Master's condition today wasn't bad; he even knew how to joke.
Before they arrived, the two Nascent Soul Daolords were talking about something.
After Mo Tiange and Qin Xi took their seats, Lord Daoist Zhenyang was the first to ask, "Shoujing, Qingwei, what brings you here?"
Qin Xi answered, "We came to see Master's condition and ask if there's anything we can help with."
"Oh, I see." Lord Daoist Zhenyang nodded, feeling quite gratified. "You're very considerate.
Your Master's injury won't threaten his life, so you don't have to worry about it. "
"Yes."
Qin Xi looked at Lord Daoist Jinghe and asked, "Martial Uncle Zhenyang, are there any medicinal pills that can treat Master's injury?"
"There are several kinds of medicinal pills, but the spiritual plants they need are really hard to find.
Alas, there are very few natural treasures in the world nowadays. Cultivators above the Nascent Soul realm can hardly take medicinal pills. In the past ten years, we've only concocted a few healing medicinal pills. "
Upon hearing this, Mo Tiange and Qin Xi exchanged glances.
Qin Xi took out two jade boxes from his Qiankun Bag and said to the two of them, "Master, Martial Uncle Zhenyang, Tiange and I benefited from a disaster on Demonic Mountain this time. We obtained some treasures. Take a look and see if they're useful for Master's injury."
"Oh?"
The two Lord Daoists looked quite surprised. They knew Qin Xi's vision. The treasures he said must be precious.
Lord Daoist Zhenyang took the boxes and heard Qin Xi say, "Here are some medicinal pills.
We obtained some spiritual plants, and the ones that weren't suitable to be preserved were refined into medicinal pills.
Here are three Flowerless Golden Fruits. Fortunately, I've formed my Nascent Soul; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to bring them back. "
"Flowerless Golden Fruits!"
The two Lord Daoists were shocked and glanced at each other. Lord Daoist Zhenyang put the box of medicinal pills aside. Seeing that the jade box was full of spiritual aura, he carefully peeled off the complicated talisman on it.
After the box was opened, the two Lord Daoists immediately gasped.
Inside the jade box were three golden fruits. The skin of the fruits was gold without any impurities. As soon as the box was opened, they smelled a sweet grass-like fragrance.
"Flowerless Golden Fruits …" Lord Daoist Jinghe took a deep breath and murmured, "Yes, these are Flowerless Golden Fruits. Judging from their color, that Flowerless Golden Tree is at least ten thousand years old, right?"
Nascent Soul cultivators were Nascent Soul cultivators after all. They could determine the age of the Flowerless Golden Fruits at a glance.
Lord Daoist Zhenyang looked for a long time before he sighed and turned to ask Qin Xi, "Where's the Flowerless Golden Tree you found?
Do you remember its location? "
Qin Xi shook his head and said, "Everything changed after the changes on Demonic Mountain. Tiange and I met it by chance when we were lost. The terrain there was very special. We went back to look for it, but we couldn't find it no matter what."
A place like Demonic Mountain couldn't be speculated with common sense, so Qin Xi wouldn't be exposed even if he lied casually.
Sure enough, Lord Daoist Zhenyang didn't doubt him. He just sighed regretfully.
Qin Xi asked again, "Martial Uncle Zhenyang, is this thing useful for Master's injury?"
Lord Daoist Jinghe answered with a smile, "Of course it's useful.
Cultivators below the Nascent Soul realm can't bear the spiritual aura of Flowerless Golden Fruits, but for Nascent Soul cultivators, one fruit is equivalent to several years of rest. "
"Not bad."
Lord Daoist Zhenyang looked at the three fruits with eyes full of reluctance. It was also rare for him to see such spiritual objects. "With these three fruits, your Master's recovery time can be reduced by at least thirty years."
Mo Tiange and Qin Xi glanced at each other. They were very happy.
"Martial Uncle Zhenyang, take a look at these medicinal pills again. Are they useful for Master?"
