"Fellow Daoist Qin!" Noticing that someone was approaching, the two of them stopped talking. Then Tiancan's voice came from outside.
"Fellow Daoist Tiancan?" Mo Tiange raised her voice.
Tiancan came in from the tree hole and nodded at the two of them. "It seems Fellow Daoist Ling's injuries are all right."
Ling Yunhe showed a friendly but distant smile. "Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist Tiancan. Where are the others?
How are they? "
"Very good."
Tiancan's eyes paused on the two of them for a while then moved away as if nothing had happened. "Fellow Daoist Yang said he's fine now."
"That's good."
Ling Yunhe nodded, adjusted the spiritual aura in his body again, and stood up. "Let's meet up."
After Ling Yunhe walked out, Tiancan's gaze fell on Mo Tiange. Mo Tiange smiled indifferently.
The conversation between her and Ling Yunhe didn't affect the agreement between her and Tiancan.
If Ling Yunhe didn't turn hostile, she and Tiancan wouldn't have to turn against each other. If Ling Yunhe really had other intentions, she certainly wouldn't resign herself to death because of his words.
The three of them walked out of the tree hole with their own thoughts.
They found this tree hole when they found Ling Yunhe.
This tree hole grew between a place with spiritual aura and a place with devil aura, but it wasn't affected by the two auras. No one knew how long it had been growing here, but it formed a natural tree hole, which was perfect for the heavily injured Ling Yunhe.
As for the others, Yang Chengji went to the place with devil aura to heal himself. After Ling Yunhe settled down, Ling Yunfei adjusted his breath in a place with spiritual aura nearby.
At this thought, Mo Tiange pondered.
She came to see Ling Yunhe like this, but Tiancan followed her closely and Ling Yunhe was injured. Wasn't Ling Yunfei worried at all?
She always felt Ling Yunhe trusted Ling Yunfei too much. He trusted him so much that he treated him like his own limbs. Not only did he not doubt him, but he also didn't seem to want to win him over … Mo Tiange hoped his trust would be reciprocated.
"Second Brother!" Ling Yunfei rushed over in surprise when he saw Ling Yunhe. "Are you really okay?"
Ling Yunhe smiled at him. "Yes. Fellow Daoist Qin's medicinal pills are really miraculous."
"Yes, I have to thank Fellow Daoist Qin." Ling Yunfei cupped his hands and bowed towards Mo Tiange.
Mo Tiange said faintly, "Fellow Daoist Yunfei doesn't need to be too polite. I gave you the medicinal pills, but I also accepted your things."
Ling Yunfei's healing medicinal pills didn't have any effect, so he used some materials to exchange with others. In the end, Mo Tiange took out her own medicinal pills.
The two brothers talked for a while more, and Ling Yunfei excitedly ran off to find Yang Chengji. Very soon, the six of them met up again.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, how are your injuries?" Ling Yunhe asked Yang Chengji with concern.
Most of the Devil Qi on his body dissipated, revealing a pale and unruly face.
This wasn't Mo Tiange's first time seeing Yang Chengji's true appearance, but she still found it very interesting.
When he was surrounded by the demonic energy, Yang Chengji had always maintained a calm image. In the end, he discovered that he was still such a young and immature youth. The contrast was too great.
"It's fine." Yang Chengji's voice was low and his expression was wooden. "Fellow Daoist Ling, you can continue to move at any time."
"En."
Ling Yunhe looked at the others and said, "That being the case, I won't talk nonsense. We've been delayed for a few days. If we stay in Carefree Valley any longer, even with the Soul-Restraining Bead, our cultivation will be affected.
Let's go now. We'll talk on the way. "
"Brother Ling, how about your injuries?"
Tian Zhiqian asked, "Although you've suppressed your injuries, if you fight, you seem to be a bit weak, right?"
"It doesn't matter."
Ling Yunhe said, "Fellow Daoist Qin's medicinal pills are very good. Now that my dantian and meridians are protected, I'll take some healing medicinal pills. It won't be a problem to fight. At most, it'll be a bit troublesome when we return."
"Is that so?"
Tian Zhiqian looked at Mo Tiange in surprise. "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Qin to not only have outstanding magic weapons, but also have such miraculous medicinal pills."
He originally thought it was just some strong healing medicinal pills. He didn't expect it could actually treat the injuries of her dantian and meridians …
Mo Tiange smiled without saying anything.
Among the people present, who didn't have some spiritual treasures?
She wasn't the only one.
* * *
After a simple agreement, everyone packed up and once again set out on their journey.
Ling Yunhe said the Carefree Fruit could grow anywhere in Carefree Valley. Moreover, it could burrow into the ground and escape like a living thing. Therefore, they had no other choice but to walk all over Carefree Valley.
Carefree Valley was too big, so the process of finding the fruit definitely wouldn't be easy.
Before encountering the three giant apes, they had just entered the valley, so they hadn't gone to many places yet. From now on, there were many places they had to search, so they couldn't waste any more time.
Ling Yunhe and Yang Chengji were injured, so they stayed at the back. Ling Yunfei and Tiancan led the way, while they and Tian Zhiqian walked in the middle. Mo Tiange stayed at the back.
After walking for a while, Tian Zhiqian turned around and deliberately stopped, waiting for Mo Tiange to catch up. "Fellow Daoist Qin."
Mo Tiange vigilantly paid attention to her surroundings while nodding calmly. "Fellow Daoist Tian, what's the matter?"
Tian Zhiqian hesitated for a moment before saying, "When we encountered the giant apes a few days ago, I saw Fellow Daoist Qin's magic weapon seemed to be a formation tool?"
Mo Tiange said, "It can't be considered a formation tool; it just has the ability of an Illusory Formation."
Tian Zhiqian's eyes brightened. "This kind of magic weapon is rare. Could Fellow Daoist Qin tell me more about it?"
He added, "If it's not convenient, Fellow Daoist can talk to me about the Dao of Formations. Let's forget about the magic weapon."
Before Mo Tiange could say anything, Ling Yunhe, who was walking in front of them, turned around and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Qin, this Brother Tian of mine doesn't have any hobbies in his life, but he likes to study the Dao of Formations. He's eager to hunt now. If you don't tell him, he'll be itching for several days.
If you don't have any secrets, Fellow Daoist, please tell me. "
"There's nothing to hide," Mo Tiange said with a smile. "It's just that when I was refining the magic weapon, I added some formation-laying methods. A formation expert like Fellow Daoist Tian will understand after listening to me."
Soon after, Mo Tiange briefly told Tian Zhiqian about the Illusory Formation in the Heaven and Earth Fan.
In fact, the Illusory Formation in the Heaven and Earth Fan wasn't exquisite, but it was a natal magic weapon that could always be nourished in the dantian. If there was anything wrong with it, it could always be modified.
Therefore, even if she told Tian Zhiqian now, he couldn't just break the Illusory Formation in the Heaven and Earth Fan. After all, the Dao of Formations focused on practicality. Even Aura Refining formation masters knew the basic Dao of Yin and Yang of the Five Elements like the back of their hands. However, if they wanted to use it in formations, they needed a deep understanding of it and a subtle grasp of spiritual aura. In this regard, the advantage of the Heaven and Earth Fan was obvious. It could change according to its master's will. Every time it laid an Illusory Formation, it would be different.
As long as the foundation of the Illusory Formation was grasped, the Heaven and Earth Fan could change itself at will.
Tian Zhiqian's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly. "Most of the cultivators in our Five Elements Valley's natal magic weapons are formation-laying tools, but none of them are like Fellow Daoist Qin. You can move and stay still, attack and defend at the same time. Not only can you lay formations at any time, but you can also use spells to break the enemy.
It turns out Fellow Daoist Qin has such profound attainments in formations. I've benefited a lot from your words. Thank you, thank you. "As he spoke, he bowed repeatedly.
Mo Tiange smiled and said, "Although I've learned the Dao of Formations from my family, I'm not a formation master like Fellow Daoist Tian. The reason I was able to refine this kind of magic weapon was because of my elders' guidance. I didn't do it alone."
"Oh?" Tian Zhiqian became even more excited. "May I know where Fellow Daoist Qin lives?
Can I pay you a visit? "
"This …" Mo Tiange shook her head awkwardly. "Fellow Daoist Tian should know that I've lived in the Outer Endless Sea for a long time, which is quite far from Yunzhong. I'm afraid it won't be convenient."
"Oh …" Tian Zhiqian looked disappointed.
"Brother Tian!"
Ling Yunhe turned around and said with a smile, "If worst comes to worst, we'll invite Fellow Daoist Qin to stay in our Ling Clan for a while after this is done. You two can exchange more about the Dao of Formations."
"You're right."
Tian Zhiqian became happy again. He cupped his hands towards Mo Tiange and said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, please don't refuse. I also want to invite Fellow Daoist Qin to our Five Elements Valley to exchange more pointers with us!"
Mo Tiange smiled. "It's also my honor to exchange pointers with the formation masters of Five Elements Valley."
"Then it's a deal!" Tian Zhiqian said hurriedly, afraid she'd go back on her word.
"…" Mo Tiange smiled helplessly.
Although she was proficient in the Dao of Formations, she might not be as good as a master like Tian Zhiqian. However, when he heard there was a formation technique he didn't know, he eagerly asked for advice. He was really an idiot.
"Second Brother!" Ling Yunfei turned around and said hesitantly, "There seems to be something in front of us."
Mo Tiange had long noticed that the fluctuation of breath in front of them was unusual. Ling Yunhe's divine sense wasn't inferior to hers, so he must've noticed it long ago. However, his expression remained the same, so he must've already prepared a countermeasure.
Sure enough, Ling Yunhe said calmly, "I know. Continue."
"Oh." Ling Yunfei turned around and continued to lead the way.
After walking for a while, they saw a stone forest filled with oddly-shaped rocks. Ling Yunfei and Tiancan stopped in their tracks.
"Second Brother, this is …"
Between the strange stones in the stone forest, there were spiritual light and devil light visible to the naked eye, as well as light particles floating in the air.
In all her years of life, Mo Tiange had never seen such a strange and bizarre scene.
In the inner valley of Carefree Valley, spiritual aura, devil aura, and filthy aura were intertwined and distributed as if they were demarcated on a chessboard. Each had its own territory and didn't interfere with the other.
The outer valley, on the other hand, was a place where the three Qi intersected and the Qi was chaotic. Once cultivators entered, their Qi would be affected and become unstable. They needed the Spirit Restraining Orb and Tian Zhiqian's array to display their usual strength.
But in this stone forest, it was completely different from the outer valley and the other places in the inner valley.
It could be said that its aura was mixed, but the three auras all turned into spiritual light and danced in the air.
It could be said that its aura was stable, but the filthy aura of spirit and devil aura were mixed together, so ordinary people couldn't step in at all!
The scene in front of them was like pouring three kinds of pigments into water, stirring them, and mixing them into a new color that was indistinguishable from each other.
Upon a closer look, these three lights were clearly separated by a similar distance, yet they seemed to interweave into a net, blocking everyone's path.
"How do we get past this?"
Tiancan muttered to himself. He looked around, but there was no other way out. When he flew into the air, he realized that this net went all the way to the sky. Even if he could fly past it, it would be beyond the range of Ling Yunhe's senses. In that case, if the Carefree Fruit was in the stone forest, he wouldn't be able to sense it.
"Fellow Daoist Ling, you have a way, right?" Tiancan asked.
Ling Yunhe nodded. "Of course."
