When Mo Tiange first heard the requirement to collect heavenly dew, it seemed quite simple. She even muttered, "Why didn't they ask a part-time disciple to do it?" It was only after she went there herself that she realized it wasn't simple.
There were many flowers and trees with spiritual energy, but there were few spiritual herbs. Moreover, only dew with spiritual energy could be called heavenly dew. Often, spiritual herbs grew on cliffs, so one had to fly up and down to collect them.
After busying herself for four hours, she only managed to gather less than half a bottle. Seeing that the sun had already risen, she shook her head helplessly and gave the jade bottle containing the Heavenly Dew to Wang Qianyi.
Seeing that Wang Qianyi was satisfied with the bottle Mo Tiange brought, Mo Tiange heaved a sigh of relief. She then left Zhengyang Hall and returned to the South Peak.
This errand wasn't difficult at all. As for the income, she could earn about a dozen spirit stones a month, which could be exchanged for five or six Aura-Nourishing Pills. However, these medicinal pills were still a drop in the bucket for Mo Tiange. Therefore, after asking Xu Jingzhi, she went to the steward's hall to ask if there were any other errands she could do at the same time.
Now that she thought about money, Mo Tiange felt like her head was about to explode. In the past, Second Uncle always took care of everything for her, so she basically didn't need to worry about it.
Later on, when Second Uncle was injured, she stopped taking pills and was barely able to get by.
But now that she wanted to break through to the tenth layer of the Aura Refining realm, money became her biggest problem.
Aside from Xu Jingzhi, who earned a lot of spirit stones some time ago, the others living with her also started to get busy with this matter. Liu Yidao was the same as Mo Tiange; he went out early and came back late every day. Jiang Shanghang said it was best for them not to go out, but without medicinal pills to cultivate, he couldn't care about anything else. Qin Xi, on the other hand, was quite good. Because he had some knowledge about concocting medicinal pills, a martial uncle in the North Peak took him away.
In total, Mo Tiange accepted three errands. Even when Senior Martial Sister Murong came to look for her to play, she didn't respond.
After being so busy for several months, Mo Tiange finally stopped making money because Yunwu Sect made a public announcement.
All the Aura Refining disciples gathered in the square. Over a thousand people were completely silent.
Not long after, a person walked out of the Real Treasure Hall. It was the Sect Leader, Fang Dingyue, followed by several Foundation Building cultivators.
"Disciples, I've gathered all of you here today to tell you something.
In order to test our disciples, Jindao School and Zixia Sect invited us to fight against Yunwu Sect. I've already accepted their challenge.
This time, all disciples above the seventh layer of the Aura Refining realm must participate. One month later, they will enter Miwu Valley for three days. The winner will be rewarded handsomely. As for the specifics, the disciple in charge will explain it to you in detail.
Disciples, for the sake of Yunwu Sect's reputation, I hope you'll spare no effort. "
In the square, all the disciples whispered to each other. Some of the more experienced disciples who had experienced such things shook their heads and explained to the new disciples.
On Mo Tiange's side, aside from Senior Martial Brother Zhou, the others hadn't been in the sect for more than a year. Only a few of them had heard about it and told them about it.
As it turned out, in the vicinity of Yunwu Sect, there were two cultivation groups with similar strength, Jindao School and Zixia Sect. These three cultivation groups stood like a tripod in this area. All resources and spirit veins had to be shared with the other two cultivation groups.
The three sects rose and fell. If one of them became stronger, they would want to get a bigger share of the resources. However, they were also afraid that the conflict would be too intense and all three would be injured. In the end, they thought of a way to compete without losing their strength.
This was the origin of Miwu Valley's challenge.
The so-called Miwu Valley was a valley between the monasteries of the three cultivation groups. The valley was filled with dense fog, so ordinary people couldn't enter.
The seniors of the three cultivation groups laid restrictions and formations in this valley so that their disciples could enter and compete with each other. The one who persisted until the end would be the winner.
The Sect Head's voice once again rang out: "Disciples, in this competition, the disciple who persisted until the end will receive a high-grade spirit tool, two bottles of Aura-Converging Pills, and a hundred spirit stones.
In addition, according to the number of people defeated, you will receive spirit stones as a reward. Even if you fail halfway, you will still receive spirit stones as a reward.
Alright, Supervising Disciple, take the disciple under control back and explain everything in detail. In half a month, the challenge will begin. "
Mo Tiange, who was filled with questions, followed everyone back to their residence.
Senior Martial Brother Zhou called everyone to gather in the courtyard and once again explained the matter of Miwu Valley.
As it turned out, for the sake of this competition, the seniors of the three cultivation groups placed restrictions on every disciple's identity tablet.
As long as the identity tablet was hung on the disciple's body, there wouldn't be any life-threatening danger. Once the identity tablet left the body, the person would be teleported away in an instant, and the person who was teleported away would be considered to have failed.
Miwu Valley was very big. Once you entered, there would be the danger of encountering spiritual beasts. However, this could also be regarded as an additional reward. The spiritual beasts and spiritual plants inside would belong to the disciple who participated in the competition.
Mo Tiange carefully calculated and couldn't help but become interested in this competition in Miwu Valley.
If she persisted until the end, there would be two bottles of Aura-Converging Pills, and each bottle contained ten pills. She already had one bottle, which contained thirty Aura-Converging Pills, which would be enough for her to advance to the ninth layer of the Aura Refining realm. If she was lucky, she might even be able to advance to the tenth layer.
Even if she didn't persist until the end, there would still be spirit stones as a reward. Moreover, there wouldn't be any life-threatening danger, so it was completely worth the risk.
Right now, whenever she saw spirit stones and medicinal pills, her eyes would shine. She really couldn't miss this opportunity.
With such a generous reward, the others were naturally the same.
Seeing how excited they were, Senior Martial Brother Zhou let out a "hmph" and poured cold water on them. "Junior Martial Brothers, do you think this reward is so easy to obtain?
The Transporting Formation in Miwu Valley will teleport you to a random place in the valley. If you happen to be teleported to the mouth of a spiritual beast, you'll be teleported out!
In addition, the terrain in the valley is complicated and dangerous. You might walk into the midst of enemies while you're walking.
Therefore, after you enter Miwu Valley, the first thing you must do is find a safe place to rendezvous with your fellow disciples. You won't be able to persist for a long time by relying on your own strength. "
Once everyone heard this, they calmed down a bit. Someone asked, "Senior Martial Brother Zhou, you're also going, right?"
Senior Martial Brother Zhou nodded. "Yes, I'm also an Aura Refining disciple, so I naturally have to go. Everyone here is in the seventh layer of the Aura Refining realm or above, so everyone has to go.
To tell you the truth, the last time we competed was more than ten years ago. At that time, I was already in the tenth layer of the Aura Refining realm, but I didn't even last for a day before I was besieged and forced out. Therefore, you mustn't lower your guard. "
They were more or less clear about Senior Martial Brother Zhou's strength. Usually, Senior Martial Brother Zhou was responsible for explaining to them the difficulties they encountered in their cultivation. It could be said that Senior Martial Brother Zhou's realm was much higher than theirs. Now that even Senior Martial Brother Zhou said this, everyone couldn't help but suppress their excitement and think about the opportunities and difficulties involved.
Senior Martial Brother Zhou chuckled. "You don't need to be so worried. Even if you come out very quickly, you won't lose anything. Just do your best.
Buy some talismans or something to protect yourself or form a small team with others. The Transporting Formation can teleport up to five people at the same time, so it'll be best if all five of you can gather together.
Alright, go and prepare yourselves. "
Senior Martial Brother Zhou waved his hand and left. Everyone else went back to their respective rooms while discussing their own plans.
Once they returned to their rooms, Liu Yidao asked, "Junior Martial Brothers, what are your plans?"
Xu Jingzhi said, "Of course we'll go together.
Senior Martial Brother Liu, that Transporting Formation can teleport up to five people at the same time, so we'll be in the same room. "
As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Shanghang. Unexpectedly, Jiang Shanghang didn't walk away nor did he express any objections. Apparently, he also knew he wouldn't be able to go alone this time.
Liu Yidao nodded. "I also think so. Junior Martial Brothers, what do you think?"
Mo Tiange said, "I have no objections. Of course, staying with Senior Martial Brothers will be safer."
Qin Xi also nodded.
Everyone looked at Jiang Shanghang. His expression was still stiff, but in the end, he nodded.
"Alright."
Liu Yidao was quite happy. This was the first time everyone worked together. "That being the case, let's discuss what we should do this time. Junior Martial Brothers …"
