Nothing unusual happened along the way, so Mo Tiange returned to her rented courtyard and immediately went to Second Uncle's room.
Ye Jiang was startled by her appearance. "Xiaotian, what's wrong?"
Mo Tiange said in a trembling voice, "Second Uncle, I … I killed someone."
Ye Jiang was startled, but he soon calmed down and said, "So be it. You have to get used to it. Otherwise, how can you continue on this path?" After he finished speaking, he asked worriedly, "Who did you kill? Did someone rob you?"
"No." Mo Tiange shook her head.
Mo Tiange shook her head. Seeing how calm Second Uncle was, she also gradually calmed down and told him what happened just now.
Ye Jiang frowned and thought for a moment before asking, "Did you leave any traces at the scene?
Did anyone see you on your way back? "
Mo Tiange shook her head. "I cleaned it up. Even if someone found the place, they wouldn't find any clues. I circled around on my way back, but no one saw me."
Ye Jiang calmed down. "It's fine. They won't know you killed them if they can't find any clues.
Besides, there's still Second Uncle. Although he's half-dead, he's still a genuine Foundation Building cultivator. The two clans you mentioned are only small clans. Even if they can't defeat them, they can always run away. "
Mo Tiange also calmed down after hearing someone comforting her. She then remembered the two men's Qiankun Bags and took them out. "Second Uncle, that man killed them for some Enchanting Lantern. I brought it back. Can you see what's so special about it?"
Unlike Mo Tiange, Ye Jiang frowned as soon as he saw the Enchanting Lantern. After a long time, he finally said, "The Enchanting Lantern is indeed an ancestral treasure of the Huang Clan. It's said to be a magic weapon. Once this lantern is summoned, a maze will appear within a hundred feet radius.
However, this lantern is a magic weapon, and magic weapons can only be used by Core Formation cultivators. Even if Aura Refining cultivators manage to use it, it won't be very powerful.
Since the death of the Huang Clan's Core Formation cultivator, no one has been able to use its full power. "
He then looked at her with a smile. "Since you obtained it, it's also a fated chance. However, it's not appropriate to take it out for the time being. Put this Enchanting Lantern away and refine it in secret.
Mo Tiange's original intention in killing that man wasn't to snatch his treasure. It was simply because all fights of magical powers were like this, and she also learned from them. Because of that, she didn't feel it was a pity. She just uttered a "yes" then put the Enchanting Lantern away.
Mo Tiange suddenly remembered something and asked, "Second Uncle, I was anxious today and used most of the talismans I had. The Immortals Assembly is next month — what should I do?"
Ye Jiang was also helpless as he said, "It's your first time facing an enemy alone, so you really don't have any experience. That's why you panicked.
However, fortunately, this brat surnamed An has a few powerful spirit weapons in his Qiankun Bag. It's just that he didn't have the time to take them out because of your talismans. Otherwise, you wouldn't have killed him so easily today. "
Mo Tiange was suddenly enlightened. No wonder she only felt nervous and didn't feel it was difficult to deal with him. It turned out it was because she was lucky. That man didn't have the chance to take out his powerful spirit tool and died because of her talismans. Otherwise, she would've been in danger today.
Ye Jiang pondered for a long time before he said, "The talismans on these two people can also make up the numbers. All talismans are the same. You can just use them and not be afraid of being discovered.
Tomorrow, you can use your remaining spirit stones to buy some more. I reckon the number won't be too far off.
In addition, Second Uncle recently comprehended a new Spirit-Trapping Formation that can be temporarily laid. In the next few days, you should practice more. With the help of the formation, you'll definitely have a much easier time. "
Soon after, he sighed and said, "If you can't do it this time, don't force yourself. At worst, you can try somewhere else. You're still young."
"En."
Mo Tiange also knew Second Uncle felt the most important thing was to keep her life. Aura Refining cultivators could live up to two hundred years old, but she was only seventeen years old. Her future was still unknown, so it wasn't worthwhile to throw her life away like those cultivators.
"Alright, go back and think about what you did wrong in today's fight. Maybe it'll be useful at the Immortals Assembly.
You also have to adjust your spiritual power. Before the Immortals Assembly, your whole body has to be in its best state. "
Mo Tiange nodded. She no longer disturbed Second Uncle's recuperation and went back to her room.
Having just experienced killing people, she wasn't in the mood to make something to eat. She first circulated her qi and adjusted her breathing to replenish the spiritual aura she consumed. Then, she cultivated until morning before she opened her eyes to check the two people's Qiankun Bags.
First, she saw the woman's Qiankun Bag. There were only a few talismans inside. Mo Tiange swept her gaze over them and was shocked.
Although there were only a few, they were high-grade talismans for Aura Refining cultivators!
This talisman was more useful than ten low-grade talismans.
Mo Tiange was overjoyed. The reason why she had so many talismans was because she bought them for the Immortals Assembly.
However, high-grade Aura Refining talismans could only be made by Foundation Building cultivators, so the market price wasn't cheap. Second Uncle was injured, so he couldn't make talismans himself. The two of them didn't have many spirit stones, so they could only buy low-grade talismans. They couldn't afford high-grade talismans.
Mo Tiange counted five talismans in total. Three of them had the fire attribute and two had the water attribute.
Talismans weren't like spells. They weren't limited by spiritual roots and could be activated with just a little spiritual aura. Aura Refining cultivators couldn't do without talismans in fights of magical power, but they were limited by their financial resources. Those who could use a lot of talismans were mostly disciples of cultivation groups or clans. Mo Tiange's talismans had been around for a long time.
However, with these five high-grade talismans, the ones she lost weren't a big deal. She only used about forty to fifty talismans, so these talismans were completely replenished.
She then looked at the other things.
There were several pretty good spirit tools, but they weren't comparable to the Enchanting Lantern. Moreover, they had to be refined before they could be used, and she was afraid they'd be recognized if she took them out.
Besides, she already had a Green-Wood Sword. Second Uncle said it was once used by her father and was later refined again. She didn't need to change spirit tools before she reached the Foundation Building realm. After all, spirit tools had to be nourished and refined for a long time before they could be used easily.
In addition, there were several bottles of various kinds of medicinal pills, all of which were commonly used by Aura Refining cultivators.
What made Mo Tiange happy was that there was a bottle of Aura-Nourishing Pills. She happened to be short of medicinal pills.
There was also a bottle of Look-Preserving Pills. That woman probably spent a lot of money to buy them. One pill could preserve a person's youth for ten years.
However, Mo Tiange didn't need them. Not to mention she was only seventeen years old. The Art of Sunu originally had the effect of preserving one's youth and could even make a woman more beautiful.
There were also several jade boxes. They seemed to contain some kind of spiritual plants, but she didn't recognize them.
Next, there were the man's belongings. They were mostly spirit tools, medicinal pills, talismans, and clothes.
Obviously, the An Clan was better off than the Huang Clan. Although they didn't have many talismans and they weren't high-grade, their spirit tools and medicinal pills were much better than the woman's. There was even a bottle of Aura-Converging Pills.
Aura-Converging Pills were the best medicinal pills for Aura Refining cultivators to consolidate their foundation and nourish their primordial aura. Their effects were several times better than Aura-Nourishing Pills. Ordinary Aura Refining cultivators wouldn't be able to afford them unless they were proud disciples of a cultivation group or had a high level cultivator as an elder.
Mo Tiange happily put away her belongings. Suddenly, she discovered a large bead among them. It looked like a pearl that contained spiritual aura. She tried to inject spiritual aura into it, but it was completely different from her Spirit-Gathering Bead. There seemed to be a layer of something that isolated spiritual aura from the outside, making it impossible for her to inject it.
In any case, she already had enough things today, so she didn't mind. She put the useless clothes into a Qiankun Bag and the useful ones into her own Qiankun Bag.
After tossing and turning, she was really hungry. The rabbit and wild vegetables she hunted yesterday were still there, so she moved the pots and bowls from the corner of the room.
She scooped some water from the water jar outside and washed the pots and bowls. She also cleaned the rabbit, wild vegetables, and mushrooms before stewing them in one pot.
Of course, this stewing wasn't the method of stewing in the mortal world. She used magic.
When she was a child, she cooked for herself. Later, when she lived in the ancestral house, she often took advantage of the fact that Aunt Lin wasn't around to secretly cook for her in the middle of the night. Therefore, after she found out spiritual beasts could be eaten, she decided to cook for herself.
At first, Second Uncle didn't approve of her cooking. He believed that cultivators shouldn't be greedy for good food. However, after he tasted it himself, he discovered that the impurities it added were negligible, so he let her do as she pleased.
After a while, Mo Tiange gave half of the pot to Second Uncle. After eating and drinking to her heart's content, she still felt somewhat restless, so she decided to go out and scout around.
