The two of them chatted for a while, straying far from the topic. In the end, they reluctantly said they'd think about it for two days since this matter wasn't urgent.
Then they began to divide the loot.
Although they didn't get anything good from their trip to Carefree Valley, Ling Yunhe gave Tian Zhiqian and Ling Yunfei's Qiankun Bags to them after they betrayed them and were killed at the last moment to show their gratitude.
Both of them were disciples of big sects and were quite rich, so Mo Tiange and Nie Wushang benefited a lot.
The two of them discussed and decided to divide spirit stones, spiritual pills, and some magic weapons and ancient books they needed.
Mo Tiange naturally chose Tian Zhiqian. Not to mention his character, his attainments in formations were indeed extraordinary. If it weren't for the fact that he had no expertise other than formations, he would be a very difficult opponent.
Unfortunately, perhaps because he was used to standing behind Ling Yunhe, he didn't have any means to fight.
After dividing the loot, the two of them went to study cultivation techniques and meditate.
Two days later, when they had just regained their spirits, someone asked to see them outside the courtyard.
They thought it was City Lord Mei, but when they asked, it was another cultivator invited by City Lord Mei.
Nie Wushang was inclined to agree to City Lord Mei's request, while Mo Tiange was indifferent. However, both of them thought it was better not to jump to conclusions.
After all, they only heard about this matter from City Lord Mei and knew very little about it. Now that another cultivator came to their door, it was good.
"Fellow Daoists, nice to meet you!"
Mo Tiange blinked and said in surprise, "Fellow Daoist Yong, Fellow Daoist Qiu, it's you?"
These two people were Yong Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo, whom she met once in Sky Snow City.
Yong Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo finally recognized her and looked surprised. "You're … Fellow Daoist Qin?"
Mo Tiange nodded at them and said with a smile, "I didn't expect we'd meet again in Starfall City so soon after we parted in Sky Snow City. Fellow Daoists and I are really fated."
"Exactly!" Qiu Chengruo answered first and looked at Nie Wushang curiously. "Fellow Daoist Qin, this is …"
"This is my friend. His nickname is Tiancan," Mo Tiange introduced.
With a flat attitude, Nie Wushang nodded at them and said, "Nice to meet you."
"So it's Daoist Tian Can."
Upon hearing Mo Tiange's introduction, Qiu Chengruo looked a bit disappointed, but he concealed it very well and immediately greeted her enthusiastically.
Yong Ruyu's attitude, on the other hand, was much more normal. She smiled and nodded at Nie Wushang in greeting. She was neither rude nor overly enthusiastic.
Mo Tiange felt both helpless and amused.
This Qiu Chengruo still hadn't changed a bit. He still guarded against other women as if they were thieves. Fortunately, Nie Wushang was now dressed as a man. Otherwise, she would've definitely dragged Yong Ruyu back, right?
"Fellow Daoist Tian Can, I met these two Daoists once in Heavenly Snow City.
This is Fellow Daoist Yong, and this is Fellow Daoist Qiu. The two of them are cultivators from one of Eastern Tang's Five Great Sects, the Dawning Pill Sect. "
After they finished greeting each other, Mo Tiange politely invited Yong Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo into the hall.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, what a coincidence! You also came to Descending Star City?" Qiu Chengruo asked right after they sat down.
Mo Tiange smiled and answered, "After we parted ways that day, I happened to meet Fellow Daoist Tian Can in Heavenly Snow City. We were very happy to meet again in a foreign place, so we decided to travel together.
Originally, we had some matters to take care of in the vicinity, but unexpectedly, we were invited by the City Lord as soon as we entered Descending Star City.
May I know what happened to the two of you? "
"We're more or less the same," Yong Ruyu said.
"Junior Martial Sister and I came here to travel, so we didn't have a specific purpose. We came all the way from Heavenly Snow City to Descending Star City without thinking too much. Right after we entered Descending Star City, we were invited to the City Lord's Mansion by Castellan Mei."
Mo Tiange's gaze changed. "That means we came to the City Lord's Mansion for the same reason?"
"That should be correct."
Once she finished speaking, the four of them exchanged glances with each other. Soon after, Mo Tiange smiled and said, "Fellow Daoists, after we parted ways in Sky Snow City, we met again in Starfall City. Moreover, we're also gathered together because of one matter — it can be considered fate.
Moreover, we're both Dao cultivators, so we're a bit closer than other people. There are some things I have to say frankly. "
She paused for a moment. Seeing that Yong Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo were smiling and didn't seem to have any objections, she directly asked, "Fellow Daoists, what do you think about Castellan Mei's invitation?
Have you agreed? "
Once Mo Tiange finished speaking, Qiu Chengruo immediately turned to look at Yong Ruyu.
Although she controlled everything, she always put Yong Ruyu first when it came to official matters.
Yong Ruyu pondered for a while then looked at Mo Tiange and Nie Wushang. She said, "Fellow Daoist Qin is so frank, so I can't hide it from you.
Yes, Junior Martial Sister and I have already agreed to Castellan Mei's request. "
Nie Wushang frowned and said, "Fellow Daoists, aren't you afraid there's more to this?"
Upon hearing this question, Qiu Chengruo covered her mouth and smiled. "Fellow Daoist Tian Can, you and Fellow Daoist Qin really have a telepathic connection. Your cautiousness is really similar."
The ridicule in his words was very obvious. Mo Tiange felt helpless and said sternly, "Fellow Daoist Qiu, in fact, I already have a Dao companion. Although you were just joking, please don't say such things in the future."
Qiu Chengruo was a bit surprised, but soon after, her expression turned serious and she solemnly saluted. "I'm sorry, I offended you before. I hope Fellow Daoist Qin won't take it to heart."
Mo Tiange smiled and waved her hand, indicating she didn't mind.
It was better to say things like this so this woman wouldn't always treat her as an imaginary enemy and try every possible way to remind her senior martial brother if he said one or two more words to him.
Usually, it was fine, but when they were talking about official matters, this kind of behavior was really an eyesore.
"Fellow Daoists, aren't you afraid there's more to what Castellan Mei said?" Nie Wushang asked again.
Yong Ruyu smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Tian Can, no matter what, Junior Martial Sister and I are disciples of a big cultivation group. Moreover, we're both Core Formation cultivators; we're not Foundation Building disciples whose cultivation groups won't care about us even if they disappear.
Although Castellan Mei is the lord of a city, he can't afford to offend my Danxia Sect. That being the case, what's there to be afraid of? "
Mo Tiange wasn't surprised by this answer.
In the past few days, she'd discovered that Yunzhong cultivators were a lot bolder. As for the reason, it might be because cultivators from different paths lived together and lived in harmony for tens of thousands of years.
After Yong Ruyu finished speaking, she looked at Mo Tiange and Nie Wushang's expressions then continued to say, "Fellow Daoists, you still haven't made up your mind?
In fact, as long as what Castellan Mei said is true, it'll be beneficial to us.
Let's not talk about what we can obtain, but ancient secret places are really hard to find nowadays. If we can go in and take a test, it'll also be very beneficial to our strength. Maybe we'll learn some ancient divine abilities and have a sudden epiphany. At that time, our cultivation levels will advance by leaps and bounds. That'll be a very good thing. "
Mo Tiange and Nie Wushang were both stunned.
Yes, what Yong Ruyu said was absolutely correct. This was the biggest benefit.
They really didn't expect that Yunzhong cultivators would actually have this kind of broad-mindedness — they could see the essence at a glance.
The significance of this kind of ancient secret place wasn't to obtain any visible benefits, but rather to experience ancient divine abilities and comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth.
"What's wrong? Fellow Daoists, don't you think so?" Yong Ruyu asked again since the two of them didn't speak.
Mo Tiange heaved a long sigh then looked at Yong Ruyu and said sternly, "No, what Fellow Daoist Yong said is very reasonable. For cultivators like us, this is indeed the biggest benefit."
Yong Ruyu's expression relaxed and she said with a smile, "That being the case, why are you still hesitating?"
Mo Tiange didn't answer immediately. She looked at Yong Ruyu then at Qiu Chengruo then asked, "Why do you want me and Fellow Daoist Tiancan to agree so much?
Does this matter have something to do with you two? "
Qiu Chengruo smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, don't misunderstand. It's just that Starfall City is a devil's domain, and most of the people who come here are devil cultivators. There aren't many Dao cultivators.
Fellow Daoists must've heard that this secret place is a place for training. It won't endanger your life, but if someone tries to kill you from behind, you have to be on guard. "
"I see." Mo Tiange nodded. "So you want us to be your companions?"
Yong Ruyu nodded with a smile. "Yes.
Junior Martial Sister and I originally came here with this idea, but after meeting you two, we felt we didn't need to think too much about it.
Although we've only met Fellow Daoist Qin once, Fellow Daoist Qin is much more trustworthy than others. "
"I have to thank you for your trust," Mo Tiange said with a smile.
"But Fellow Daoist Tiancan and I don't know much about this matter, so we can't answer you for now."
"That's easy."
Qiu Chengruo was very enthusiastic. "Senior Martial Brother and I have been here for several days, so we've more or less understood this matter. We can tell you two in detail."
"Is that so?" This was good news. Mo Tiange said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Fellow Daoist Qiu."
Yong Ruyu and Qiu Chengruo then told them one by one.
As it turned out, this kind of secret place wasn't very secretive in Yunzhong. Although there weren't many of them, most cultivation groups knew about one or two, and some of them were in their hands to train their disciples.
Because of that, the Core Formation cultivators invited by City Lord Mei didn't suspect anything and stayed.
They all knew this kind of secret place was hard to find. In a few days, it would be known by all cultivation groups. At that time, they would have to spend a lot of effort to enter the secret place. It would be better for them to help City Lord Mei's group this time. The sooner they entered the secret place, the more benefits they could obtain.
As for that secret place, they also asked the Core Formation cultivators in Descending Stars City to learn more about it. Although it was difficult to pass, the mysteries of the divine abilities inside were obvious. There were even some secret techniques of the Devil Path inside.
For devil cultivators, this was very attractive.
Because in the Middle Ages, there were many cultivators and very few devil cultivators, so when an ancient secret place was discovered, it was usually cultivators who benefited the most.
However, this ancient secret place actually had secret techniques of the Devil Path — this was really too rare.
After spending most of the day explaining the matter, Yong Ruyu asked again, "Fellow Daoists, this is all we've asked about. What do you think?"
Mo Tiange and Nie Wushang glanced at each other then said, "Fellow Daoists, this is all we've asked about. What do you think?"
However, I still need to discuss this matter with Fellow Daoist Tian Can. I'll give the two of you an answer after some time. How about it? "
Yong Ruyu smiled. "Of course.
Since that's the case, Junior Martial Sister and I will take our leave first. We don't have much time, so if you two Fellow Daoists have made a decision, please reply as soon as possible. "
