Mo Tiange wasn't too familiar with this Qin Xi. Although he wasn't like Jiang Shanghang who didn't interact with them at all, he had always been very cold. He rarely spoke when he was with them. Usually, he only focused on cultivating and rarely went out. He also didn't cause trouble.
Among Yunwu Sect's Aura Refining disciples, he wasn't eye-catching.
As for cultivation level, although it wasn't easy for him to reach the tenth layer of the Aura Refining realm at his age, it wasn't that rare. As for diligence, as long as one was determined to cultivate, six or seven out of ten people would be as diligent as him. As for his background, he was just an individual cultivator from a destitute cultivation clan. There was really no reason to pay attention to him.
If there was anything about him that made him stand out, it would be his handsome appearance. However, for a cultivator, this was not really a good point. For a cultivator, after cultivating, they would naturally be reborn, so they would not be ugly at all.
Therefore, Mo Tiange didn't pay too much attention to Qin Xi, and she wasn't interested in studying his cultivation technique. It wasn't until now that she found out he actually cultivated Body-Refining Technique.
The so-called Body-Refining Technique was also a branch of cultivation technique.
Aside from the five elements and yin and yang, there were many cultivation techniques with special effects in this world, and Body-Refining Technique was one of them.
This kind of cultivation technique could be traced back to the Distant Past era. At that time, when the world was just created, immortals, devils, humans, and beasts all lived together.
In terms of cultivation, spiritual beasts were more blessed than humans because their bodies were tyrannical and didn't need magic weapons. After cultivating to a certain extent, they could withstand Heavenly Tribulations. Humans, on the other hand, needed magic weapons and other similar items to withstand Heavenly Tribulations, so Body-Refining Technique was born. When a tyrannical body was matched with a powerful magic weapon, Heavenly Tribulations were relatively easier to withstand.
However, even in the Distant Past era, Body-Refining Technique was never the focus of cultivation because humans were born weak. Cultivating Body-Refining Technique was far inferior to spiritual beasts.
Moreover, there were many cultivators with great divine power in ancient times, so people often transcended Heavenly Tribulations and ascended. Now, however, it wasn't the case. Not to mention ascending, even those who cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm were few and far between. Heavenly Tribulations weren't as powerful as they used to be. Moreover, excellent Body-Refining Technique was lost, so cultivators below the Core Formation realm almost didn't cultivate Body-Refining Technique.
She really didn't expect this Qin Xi to also cultivate Body-Refining Technique. It seemed his talent was indeed outstanding, but she didn't know why he wasn't accepted by other cultivation groups.
After looking for a while, she washed her hands and face and went back the way she came.
What kind of cultivation technique he practiced was his private matter. She couldn't be bothered to look into it.
As soon as they returned, Murong Yan made a big fuss. "Junior Martial Brother Ye, you actually took so long to wash your face!"
Mo Tiange said, "Senior Martial Sister, it's getting late. Aren't you going back yet?"
Murong Yan looked at the color of the sky. It was already afternoon, so she was extremely reluctant to part. "Junior Martial Brother Ye, the next time you come out, you must call me."
Mo Tiange nodded. "En, en, en."
Murong Yan took out a bag from her pocket and handed it to Mo Tiange. "Here, next time you call me, I'll give you something good."
"Thank you, Senior Martial Sister." The reason she was willing to be ordered around by this senior martial sister as a manservant was precisely because of this thing.
Ever since Murong Yan found out about the characteristics of Mo Tiange's magic arts, she used seeds to seduce Mo Tiange. That was why Mo Tiange came to work as a manservant.
Murong Yan had a senior martial brother who worked in the group's medicinal garden, so it was very convenient for him to get seeds. Mo Tiange didn't have any connections, but someone was willing to help her, so she naturally seized the opportunity. In any case, she only needed to roast something. She could exchange it for a few bags of seeds that couldn't be bought.
"Alright, I know it's because of this thing that you're willing to let me order you around. Alright, I'm going back." Murong Yan waved her hand at Mo Tiange. She wiped her hands clean and pretended to be a virtuous lady before she leisurely walked away.
Mo Tiange couldn't help but laugh as she watched Murong Yan's back.
This was also where Senior Martial Sister Murong was similar to Tianqiao. She obviously loved to play around, but she had no choice but to pretend to be a virtuous lady.
Tianqiao … Mo Tiange probably wouldn't see her again in this lifetime. Ye Jingwen said that if she succeeded in her cultivation, she could naturally go back to see her relatives. But later, she realized it was best not to go back after separating from the secular world. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to accept the birth, death, and old age of her relatives. To avoid affecting her cultivation, since she'd already severed her ties with the secular world, it was better not to go back.
With a faint sense of sadness, Mo Tiange returned to her room.
There were several breaths in the other rooms. Presumably, they were all cultivating. Mo Tiange also returned to her room and began to examine the seeds Murong Yan gave her these past few days.
She recognized some seeds but didn't recognize others.
Most of them were seeds of medicinal plants. They didn't have any special uses and couldn't be used in fights of magical power.
Her Green-Wood Art was used to plant spiritual aura inside the seeds the moment they were sprouted. In a split second, those plants would grow and be used to attack.
Therefore, seeds that didn't have any special uses or needed too much spiritual aura to grow also wouldn't work. This was the limit. Only some low-grade plants could be used to attack.
After looking at some seeds, Mo Tiange really couldn't recognize them, so she got up and prepared to go to Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion.
The so-called Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion was the place where Yunwu Sect collected cultivation techniques. Sect disciples could go there once a month. According to their cultivation levels, they could choose some and bring them back.
Ever since she entered the sect, Mo Tiange hadn't gone there because she already had the Art of Sunu for cultivation and the Green-Wood Art for fights of magical power. She didn't need to choose other cultivation techniques.
Compared to other buildings, Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion's location was rather special. It was neither on the South Peak nor the North Peak. Instead, it was located in a remote valley between the two peaks.
Mo Tiange searched for a while before she finally found the entrance by following the traces of a formation. It was a cave that didn't stand out at all.
As soon as she approached the cave entrance, the formation at the entrance suddenly emitted a dazzling light. Mo Tiange didn't panic. Instead, she placed her identity tablet on an empty spot on the mountain wall, and the light immediately faded.
The outermost formation of Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion could be entered as long as one had a disciple's identity tablet.
After she stepped into the cave, she saw a very spacious hall inside. There were cave entrances with restrictions on three sides, but she didn't know where they led to.
Moonstones illuminated the cave as bright as day. The inside of the cave was cool and dry. Mo Tiange didn't know whether this was the effect of a formation or not, but it wasn't only suitable for preserving Jade Slips; some books made of paper or other materials could also be preserved.
In the corner of the cave, there was a huge table. Behind the table sat several Aura Refining cultivators with ordinary cultivation levels. Some of them were meditating and some of them were dozing off with their heads tilted.
Upon seeing her coming in, only one of them lazily raised his eyelids and said, "Identity tablet."
Mo Tiange handed over her disciple's identity tablet. The man took it and also took out a Jade Slip for her to leave her Imprint on before he said, "Follow me."
He walked to one of the cave entrances and flashed a jade slip. The jade slip emitted a ray of light which fell on the restriction and instantly disappeared.
The man threw the jade slip to her. "The jade slip can't leave your body. You must come out before the Zi Hour. You're not allowed to keep any damaged items. If you need a duplicate, bring the jade slip here. You can make a maximum of three jade slips.
Alright, you can go in now. "
Mo Tiange thanked him then took the jade slip and entered the cave.
This cave was a bit bigger than the hall outside. The front was densely packed with books, and in the back, aside from Jade Slips, there were all kinds of strange things.
She walked over and flipped through the books first. She found that most of them were ordinary cultivation techniques or were passed down in the mortal world. Presumably, the things recorded in these books weren't profound.
Towards the back, there were things recorded on the cauldron. There was a piece of metal engraved with densely packed words, as well as a glass bead that seemed to have many words inside. These things were not ordinary. They were either alchemy techniques, mystical items, or special magical techniques.
Mo Tiange first chose a Jade Slip called "The Complete Guide to Spiritual Plants" then she began to slowly look for useful things inside.
She didn't need cultivation techniques, and she didn't have the energy to learn pill-concocting, tool-refining, and the like. Thus, she found a book called "The Essence of Formations".
Finally, she found a Jade Slip that recorded the history of Yunwu Sect.
When she went out, the disciple guarding the cave was a bit surprised. He asked, "You've already chosen?"
It wasn't strange for him to be surprised. After looking at Mo Tiange's identity tablet, he knew she was a disciple who came here for the first time. Which disciple didn't choose something carefully during their first time in Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion and spent a lot of time choosing something good? Unlike her, who came out after only an hour.
Mo Tiange nodded and handed over the jade tablet and three Jade Slips. "Sorry for troubling you, Senior Martial Brother."
The disciple took them and raised his chin at her. "Three spirit stones."
"Huh?" Mo Tiange was dumbfounded. Spirit stones?
The disciple said somewhat impatiently, "Junior Martial Brother, don't you know that copying Jade Slips requires spirit stones?"
She indeed didn't know. However, copying a Jade Slip for one Jade Slip wasn't a lot, so she immediately took out the spirit stones and handed them over.
The disciple took them and quickly copied the Jade Slips and handed them back to her.
Mo Tiange took them and thanked him.
Although three spirit stones wasn't a lot, ordinary Aura Refining disciples only got five spirit stones a month. If she came in every month to copy three Jade Slips, she'd be spending more than half of her spirit stones.
Apparently, even if she entered a cultivation group, her days wouldn't be too good.
