In the end, Monk Yuan Kong's Seven-Colored Jadeheart Lotus was exchanged by Yong Ruyu with a Buddhist treasure. Qiu Chengruo happily put the Seven-Colored Jadeheart Lotus into his bag.
Qingyun Zi took a fancy to the Fusheng Sword while Han Shizhi took a fancy to the Seven-Colored Jadeheart Lotus.
Soon after, the two of them took out their own things and exchanged some passable spiritual objects with others.
The Core Formation cultivators were very straightforward, and there were only eight people present, so the trade fair ended very quickly.
Then, everyone began to talk about cultivation.
This process was an eye-opener for Mo Tiange.
It was the first time she met devil cultivators, Buddhist cultivators, and Confucian cultivators above the Core Formation realm. The experiences of Blackmoon Devil Monarch, Yang Chengji, Monk Yuan Kong, and Han Shizhi were completely different from what she had heard before.
No matter what Dao they walked, they were all cultivators, so they had quite a lot in common, which helped Mo Tiange figure out some difficult cultivation problems.
This conversation lasted for half the night before Mo Tiange bid farewell to everyone and left the teahouse.
When she stepped out of the teahouse, the full moon was already hanging in the sky. The night was dark, and countless stars were blinking in the sky, reflecting the bright blue color of Sky Snow City, giving it a different kind of beauty.
She admired it for a while before slowly walking towards the cave on White Stone Mountain.
She looked leisurely, but in fact, her fists were clenched and hidden in her sleeves, hiding her excitement very well.
When she got the Fusheng Sword, her attitude was very calm and she didn't look very excited, but in fact, her heart was full of excitement. As soon as she left the teahouse, she couldn't suppress it anymore.
That sword was definitely unusual!
Not to mention that it was corroded by devil aura for ten thousand years without being completely corroded, its momentum alone could only be found on some spiritual treasures. If she could find a way to wash away the devil aura and restore it to its former glory, it would definitely be an extremely sharp magic weapon!
With this thought, she smiled. One could never have too many spiritual treasures. Although her cultivation level was exposed this time, her harvest was quite plentiful.
Just as she left the streets of Sky Snow City and before she reached White Stone Mountain, she suddenly felt her back tighten. Instinctively, the Heaven and Earth Fan appeared in her hand. With a light wave, a spiritual aura barrier appeared around her.
Soon after, with a soft "chi" sound, something tore open the spiritual energy barrier behind her.
Mo Tiange tapped the ground with the tip of her foot. Clouds appeared on the soles of her feet as her Cloud-Treading Boots flew up. Like a willow in the wind, she streaked across the sky, leaving a trail of drifting traces in the air. In the end, she turned around and stopped.
"Which Fellow Daoist launched a sneak attack on me? Please show yourself!" Standing in midair, Mo Tiange gently tapped the Heaven and Earth Fan in her hand and looked around sharply.
"Hmph!" She heard a cold snort. Someone spoke in a hoarse voice, "Hand over the Fusheng Sword and I'll let you go!"
Supporting Life Sword?
Mo Tiange was stunned. It wasn't that she didn't expect someone would covet the Fusheng Sword; it was just that she didn't expect they would come knocking on her door so soon.
Who was this person?
Yong Ruyu or Qingyun Zi?
The two of them didn't have any abnormalities just now. Could it be someone else?
On top of that, this person's sneak attack was very precise. His cultivation level was at least of the intermediate stage of the completion level. Could it be Han Shizhi?
Not giving her much time to think, another sharp spiritual energy suddenly appeared in the air and attacked her.
Mo Tiange also let out a cold snort. No matter who it was, this person looked down on her too much!
Mo Tiange touched her sleeve and waved the White Silk Handkerchief. A faintly discernible mist enveloped her. The spiritual aura smoothly entered the mist, but in the next moment, it disappeared into the mist and disappeared without a trace.
"Oh!" The person was surprised but soon sneered. "You do have some skills. I underestimated you!"
Mo Tiange showed a faint smile, gently opened the Heaven and Earth Fan and said, "No matter who you are, if you don't want to die, you'd better scram quickly!"
Upon hearing what she said, the person burst into laughter. "Interesting!
Are all cultivators in the Outer Endless Sea as arrogant as you? "
"Whether I'm arrogant or not, I'll know after I fight you!" Mo Tiange's gaze turned slightly cold. "It seems Your Excellency is determined to rob me?"
"So what if I rob you?
The Fusheng Sword — even if it's just a Fusheng Sword that can only recover a little of its power, it's still no small matter.
If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too bold. People from the Outer Endless Sea actually dare to carry such a treasure in Yunzhong. Hmph, even if I don't do it, someone else will! "
"Then let's see how you do it!" Before he finished speaking, the Heaven and Earth Fan unfolded, and seemingly invisible mountains and rivers sprayed out in an instant.
The person didn't expect Mo Tiange to act so quickly. Before he finished speaking, she had already used her magic weapon.
In the darkness, a black thing splashed over, trying to block the mountains and rivers transformed by the Heaven and Earth Fan.
Mo Tiange smiled slightly and withdrew the mountains and rivers. Like a flash of lightning, she retreated dozens of feet away. With a crane cry, a red-crowned crane rushed out of the Heaven and Earth Fan and pecked at her right side.
"Ah!"
With a cry of alarm, a figure suddenly appeared in the darkness. This person was also very fast. With a flash, he was already dozens of feet away, blocking the red-crowned crane with a huge stone.
Mo Tiange waved the fan lightly, and the red-crowned crane disappeared without a trace.
She smiled at the person in the darkness. "Professor Han, it's really you."
Dozens of feet away, Han Shizhi glared at Mo Tiange with a gloomy expression.
Just now, although he blocked the red-crowned crane's attack in time, Mo Tiange was simply a diversion. She used flying needles to launch a sneak attack under the crane's cover. Although she didn't really succeed, the feeling of almost being hit was really bad.
Han Shizhi always thought the level of the cultivators in the Outer Endless Sea couldn't compare to the cultivators in Yunzhong, so he boldly came to attack her. He didn't expect Mo Tiange to have so many magic weapons in her hands. Not only did she easily dodge his Rhino Telepathy, but she also unexpectedly launched a sneak attack on him.
He almost died because of his own carelessness!
But from now on, he wouldn't be careless anymore. With the golden brush and jade inkstone in his hands, even if this woman had many magic weapons, he wouldn't lose!
Mo Tiange didn't attack immediately. She looked at Han Shizhi and asked with a smile, "Professor Han, I don't quite understand. Aren't you a Confucian cultivator?
The Fusheng Sword is a Daoist cultivator's item. What do you want it for? "
"Hmph!" Han Shizhi snorted coldly. "What do you know?
How can magic weapons be divided by schools?
Confucian cultivators, Daoist cultivators, Buddhist cultivators, don't they all transform spiritual aura for their own use? "
Mo Tiange was stunned. She didn't expect he would actually say this.
She carefully pondered it in her heart and suddenly felt enlightened. For a moment, she came to a sudden realization and understood.
Yes, Confucian cultivators, Daoist cultivators, Buddhist cultivators, and even Devil cultivators were all cultivators. Although their respective doctrines were different, their cultivation methods were different, and their methods of transforming spiritual aura were also different, there wasn't much difference in essence.
They all cultivated and similarly transformed the spiritual aura of heaven and earth for their own use. They also strengthened their bodies, cultivated their meridians and dantian, and advanced their realms step by step to pursue the ultimate goal of ascension.
She was too trapped by the views of schools. She always felt that cultivators of other Daos might be able to learn a thing or two from them, but they were always different. In fact, their essence should be the same, but their external situations were different.
Looking at Han Shizhi in the darkness, she had a mysterious feeling.
This Han Shizhi came to snatch her treasures and even to kill her. His words were very ruthless, so it was obvious that his previous erudition and elegance were all fake. In fact, he was a ruthless person.
However, this person had such a deep understanding of morality, almost seeing through the true meaning of cultivators of various Daos.
His unintentional words suddenly made her feel as if her state of mind had transcended.
She didn't know whether she should thank this person or not.
"Professor Han is really a knowledgeable person. You can actually comprehend this kind of truth.
That being the case, why is your state of mind so weak?
Sneak attacks aren't magnanimous.
Don't you Confucian cultivators pursue upright conduct and firm will?
Aren't you afraid of having Inner Demons? "
Han Shizhi smiled contemptuously and looked at Mo Tiange. "You don't need to talk so eloquently. You only know a little bit about us Confucian cultivators' cultivation methods.
What Inner Demons? It's nothing more than acting against one's own morality. If there's no morality, how can there be any violation?
Although your cultivation level isn't bad, you're just a silly little girl! "
Being looked down upon like this, Mo Tiange didn't show any anger.
She pondered Han Shizhi's words.
If there's no morality, how can there be any violation … Is that really the case?
If Devil Path cultivators didn't cultivate their minds, it was easy for them to suffer from Qi deviation, but they could also ascend and become devils.
Many Nascent Soul cultivators in the Celestial Pole were afraid of Inner Demons, so they wouldn't harm people's lives for no reason. Even their temperamental master was the same. However, the number one late Nascent Soul cultivator in the Celestial Pole was Master Song Feng, that fiend.
The reason was actually this simple?
If there's no morality, how can there be any violation?
Because cultivators like them were instilled with the concept of "don't lightly harm people's lives and be careful of Inner Demons" since childhood, they always believed that if they hurt people for no reason, they would have Inner Demons. Because of this, when they hurt people for no reason, they would be trapped by Inner Demons.
Master Song Feng said he was neither a Dao nor a devil, neither a human nor a ghost. In other words, his concept was different from that of cultivators.
Could it be that because he didn't have any morality in his heart, he didn't have any Inner Demons even if he violated them, so he could become the number one late stage Nascent Soul cultivator in the Celestial Pole by hook or by crook?
Mo Tiange fell into contemplation. Han Shizhi smiled coldly and suddenly pulled out his hand. The ink brush and the jade inkstone flew out at the same time.
"Fellow Daoist Qin!"
Just as the ink brush was about to splash on Mo Tiange's body, a clear shout was heard. Someone flew out, and a lightning-like light instantly blocked the ink brush.
That person stretched out his hand, and a crescent-shaped jade knife flew back into his hand. His figure was already in front of Mo Tiange.
"You …" Seeing the apricot-colored Daoist robe this person was wearing, Han Shizhi was shocked. "You're …"
Under the moonlight, this person's cold gaze fell on Han Shizhi. He said heavily, "Han Shizhi?
You came to my Sky Snow City and killed people in my Ling Clan's territory. Aren't you looking down on my Ling Clan too much?! "
Under this person's cold gaze, Han Shizhi's ruthless expression slowly disappeared. He exhaled and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Ling made a move, I won't say much.
Today's matter will end here. "
"Wait!"
Seeing that Han Shizhi was about to turn around and leave, this person shouted. He stared at Han Shizhi with a gloomy expression. "You want to leave just like that?"
Han Shizhi paused then turned around and said faintly, "Ling Yunhe, I gave up this matter to give face to Ling Clan. What about you?
Don't tell me you want a foot after giving me an inch? "
Under the moonlight, Ling Yunhe's expression was gloomy. "Give face to Ling Clan?
You're casually making a move on my Ling Clan's territory. Is this still giving face to Ling Clan? "
"Otherwise what?"
Han Shizhi's expression was still indifferent. "You also know you can't do anything to me, so why stop me?" As he said that, he actually waved his sleeves and swaggered away.
In the end, Ling Yunhe didn't stop him.
