While making tea, Mo Tiange leaned against the table in a daze.
When she came back that day, the meaning of Second Uncle's words was already very clear.
These days, she was absent-minded and kept thinking about this matter.
That day, Second Uncle had said that she still had a hundred years to squander … Second Uncle, who had always been forcing her to cultivate, had actually said those words to her. It was clear to see how bad the situation was — Second Uncle had basically treated her as a dead person.
Now, she no longer asked herself what she would do if Second Uncle died. Seeing Second Uncle's calm expression, she made up her mind to let Second Uncle, who had been worrying about her for ten years, leave in peace.
But … thinking about this result still made her sad.
The tea leaves in the pot unfolded, and the tea gradually turned light green.
Mo Tiange calmed herself down, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Second Uncle. "Second Uncle, drink some tea." She added some mind-calming spiritual herbs to the tea, hoping Second Uncle would feel better after drinking it.
Ye Jiang was even older now. In fact, even if a cultivator's lifespan was nearing its end, they would still be able to maintain their youthful appearance. They would not wither like mortals. The reason why he was like this was because he was injured.
After drinking the tea, he seemed to be a little more spirited and asked, "Xiaotian, last time, you said the spiritual aura in your body changed?"
Mo Tiange nodded. "Yes, it became very strange.
A trace of very cold Yin spiritual aura gradually appeared in my dantian, and it also swallowed other spiritual auras and transformed them into this kind of spiritual aura. I didn't know the reason, so I didn't dare to continue cultivating. "
Ye Jiang thought for a while then said slowly, "It doesn't matter. You should continue cultivating.
Second Uncle once heard that when female cultivators practiced certain cultivation techniques, their spiritual aura would change. Presumably, it was because the cultivation technique leaned toward Yin.
Your situation should be because of the special nature of the cultivation technique you practice. In the past, your cultivation level wasn't high enough, so you couldn't transform it into pure Yin spiritual aura. Now that you've reached the peak stage of the Aura Refining realm and your cultivation level is gradually increasing, the spiritual aura in your body changed. This change must be the preparation your dantian made for building your foundation.
Since that's the case, you should continue cultivating and wait until your spiritual aura completely changes before building your foundation. "
This answer made Mo Tiange happy. "Does that mean I'll have a better chance of building my foundation?"
Ye Jiang nodded. "That should be the case." He thought for a while then said, "Otherwise, you should go back to the sect.
Of course, don't ask anyone; just go to the sect's ancient records collection to check. "
"Okay, got it."
"How about … you go now? Second Uncle isn't feeling unwell right now."
"This …"
"Go, or else you won't be able to get away."
Mo Tiange understood the meaning behind his words. Second Uncle was worried that her injuries would worsen, so he didn't dare to refuse. She said, "Alright. Second Uncle, be careful."
Half an hour later, Mo Tiange returned to Yunwu Sect.
First, he went to the Steward's Hall to inform them that he had returned. Then, he returned to his residence.
Everything was the same as before she left. Jiang Shanghang was cultivating in his room, while Qin Xi and Liu Yidao were still in Closed Door Meditation and Liu Yidao had reportedly entered his Closed Door Meditation Immortal's Cave.
Oh, there's one more thing — Senior Martial Brother Zhou has succeeded in building his foundation and has become Martial Uncle Zhou!
Mo Tiange was very happy for him upon hearing this news.
Although Martial Uncle Zhou was cold at the beginning, he was actually a good person. If the disciples living in this courtyard had any questions, he would answer them with all his heart.
Moreover, it was thanks to Martial Uncle Zhou's care that she could live so comfortably here. During the two years she was in Closed Door Meditation, she didn't do anything, and it was Martial Uncle Zhou who deliberately put in a good word for her in the Steward's Hall.
Because of this, Mo Tiange pondered whether she should congratulate Martial Uncle Zhou or not.
In the end, she decided to ask someone to deliver a message and prepare to go after the matter was settled.
After all, Martial Uncle Zhou lived in the North Peak now, so it wasn't convenient for her to go there.
Just as she was about to go to Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion, a voice came from outside. "Junior Martial Brother Ye, is Junior Martial Brother Ye Xiaotian in?"
Mo Tiange opened the door to her room and saw a male disciple she didn't know standing outside the small hall.
"Senior Martial Brother, what's the matter?"
Upon seeing her, the man smiled and said, "You're Junior Martial Brother Ye?"
Mo Tiange nodded. "Yes."
The man sized her up from head to toe. His gaze made her feel very uncomfortable. Then, he said, "It was Martial Uncle Zhou who told me to come. He heard you came back, so he wanted to see you."
"Oh?" Mo Tiange said, "I just asked this Senior Martial Brother from the North Peak to deliver a message, and he arrived already?"
The man was stunned. "This … I don't know. It's just that … Martial Uncle Zhou told me to deliver a message."
"I see … Thank you, Senior Martial Brother. I'll go now."
The man said, "I'll take you there. Presumably, you also don't know where Martial Uncle Zhou is."
This man was really kind, so Mo Tiange said, "Thank you, Senior Martial Brother."
"You're welcome. Let's go."
After leaving her room, Mo Tiange asked, "May I know Senior Martial Brother's surname?"
The man left in a hurry and answered without looking back, "My surname is Wu."
"Oh, so it's Senior Martial Brother Wu. Senior Martial Brother, are you an elite disciple of the North Peak?"
This question made Senior Martial Brother Wu proud for a moment. His footsteps also slowed down a bit. "Yes, my master's name is Qingyu. You should know him."
"Ah, so you're Martial Uncle Qingyu's brilliant disciple. It's an honor to meet you."
Mo Tiange politely greeted him. This Senior Martial Brother Wu immediately raised his chin proudly, causing her to snicker.
In fact, the reason she said it was an honor to meet him was because since this Senior Martial Brother Wu was a Foundation Building martial uncle's disciple, he should be an elite disciple with a profound cultivation level. However, he looked like he was in his thirties, yet his cultivation level was only in the seventh layer of the Aura Refining realm. Nevertheless, it wasn't strange. This Senior Martial Brother Wu only had a cultivation level in the seventh layer, but he still called her junior martial brother. Obviously, he had something to rely on.
Of course, she wouldn't say this out loud. Judging from this Senior Martial Brother Wu's reaction just now, he was someone who cared a lot about his reputation. If she said something to him and it reached his ears, he would definitely turn hostile immediately.
After walking for a while, Mo Tiange asked curiously, "Senior Martial Brother Wu, which road is this? Does it lead to Tongbei Peak?"
This Senior Martial Brother Wu walked very fast without looking back. "Martial Uncle Zhou just came to the South Peak to take care of business. Quickly follow me!"
Mo Tiange frowned and followed him for a while. Seeing that the road was becoming more and more desolate, she immediately stopped and said, "Senior Martial Brother Wu!"
Senior Martial Brother Wu didn't answer her. After walking a few steps and realizing that she wasn't following him, he finally turned his head and said unhappily, "What are you doing?"
Mo Tiange swept her gaze over her surroundings and stared at him vigilantly. "Where in the world does Senior Martial Brother Wu want to take me?"
Upon hearing her question, Senior Martial Brother Wu's eyes suddenly flickered. He stammered, "N-Nothing …"
Judging from his expression, it would be strange if Mo Tiange believed him. She immediately took out her spirit tool to be on guard and said coldly, "Senior Martial Brother Wu, do you think I'm a fool?
If we go down this road, we'll reach a cliff at the end. Do you think Martial Uncle Zhou will meet me at the cliff? "
Seeing that his purpose was seen through, this person cast a glance to the side then clenched his teeth and said loudly, "Junior Martial Brother, it's too late to leave now!"
Mo Tiange smiled contemptuously. "Senior Martial Brother Wu, do you think you can stop me?"
This person obviously didn't expect that she would turn hostile and actually not take him seriously at all. He immediately stammered, "Junior Martial Brother Ye, we can talk about this …"
Mo Tiange was surprised to see his reaction. This person was an elite disciple, so how could he be so spineless?
But she clearly knew there was a problem, so how could she continue following him? Besides, this person was an elite disciple after all, so it wouldn't be good for her to attack him. She immediately turned around and walked away without saying anything.
"Junior Martial Brother Ye!"
She didn't even respond.
Soon after, she felt a spiritual aura fluctuation behind her. Mo Tiange reacted very quickly and dodged, but she immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
What was attacking her was actually a high-level "Blue Sea Freezing Ice" talisman!
If she was hit just now, she would probably be frozen on the spot and be trampled on.
What does this Senior Martial Brother Wu want to do?!
Seeing that she was glaring at him fiercely, Senior Martial Brother Wu first looked scared, then angry. Finally, he took out another talisman.
High-level talismans weren't cheap, and they were also very powerful. Even ordinary talismans weren't easy to deal with if there were many of them.
In the previous fights of magical power, Mo Tiange always tried her best to avoid directly facing the opponent's talismans. Usually, the outcome of the fight would be decided before the opponent's talismans were used. But now, because she didn't want to fight, Senior Martial Brother Wu took the initiative.
"Senior Martial Brother Wu," she asked coldly, "What's your objective?
I don't think I've offended you, have I? "
At that moment, a very slippery voice answered, "You haven't offended him; the one you've offended is me!"
Mo Tiange turned her head to look and was shocked.
Not far from her, a person was walking down the path leading to the valley. It was Jiang Chengxian!
Her expression changed, and her mind raced.
The first thing she thought of was that she picked up the pill recipe for the Constitution-Enhancing Pill that he accidentally missed. However, she was also puzzled as to how he discovered it.
Soon after, she thought about it. Jiang Chengxian was hiding here, but she didn't sense him at all even when he approached her. He must've used a Breath-Concealing Technique, which meant he must've long been prepared to deal with her.
But if she killed Jiang Chengxian, would she still have a foothold in Mount Yunwu?
That Mount Yunwu's master would most likely eat her alive and cook her alive … That's not right. If he was a Core Formation cultivator from Jiang Clan, would he need to deal with her like this?
She was only a small Aura Refining cultivator. To a Core Formation cultivator, she was nothing more than an ant that could be pinched to death.
However, the current situation didn't allow her to think too much. She reached into her Qiankun Bag and several formation discs and flags flew out.
Jiang Chengxian snorted contemptuously then angrily said to Senior Martial Brother Wu, "Really useless! You can't do anything at all!
Go stand guard! "
In front of Jiang Chengxian, Senior Martial Brother Wu immediately lowered his head and bowed. "Yes, Senior Martial Brother Jiang."
Mo Tiange couldn't help but snort. So this Senior Martial Brother Wu was Jiang Chengxian's little follower! No wonder he was so spineless!
Once Senior Martial Brother Wu walked far away, Jiang Chengxian turned around to size up the Five Elements Life and Death Formation she laid temporarily. A mocking expression appeared on his face. "Using formations to deal with me?
Hmph! "
Mo Tiange suddenly remembered that Jiang Chengxian had a Heaven-Breaking Mirror in his hand — it was precisely a magic weapon that could restrain formations!
At this time, Jiang Chengxian indeed took out that mirror. A blue light shot out from the mirror and shone on her formation disc. With a loud "Boom!", the formation disc immediately exploded!
This formation was modified to be suitable for temporary formations, but its power was still somewhat lacking.
Mo Tiange's expression changed, but she soon calmed down and sneered. "So what if I don't use formations?
What do I have to fear? "
"You —" Jiang Chengxian naturally knew she was mocking him for not being skilled in Daoist techniques, so he immediately shouted angrily.
Mo Tiange stared at him and asked in a heavy voice, "May I know how I offended Senior Martial Brother Jiang? Why did Senior Martial Brother Jiang set such a trap to deal with me?"
Upon hearing her question, Jiang Chengxian burst into laughter. After laughing for a long time, he finally said mockingly, "Even if I didn't believe you were the one who followed me and took away the pill recipe for Constitution-Enhancing Pill, judging from your reaction, I believe it. Do you still think I don't know?"
Mo Tiange originally didn't believe in luck. She just thought she would confess without being pressed if Jiang Chengxian didn't do it because of this matter, so she asked again. Now that she knew it was because of this matter, she wasn't disappointed.
She already knew she had a slim chance of survival, so she calmed down and stopped thinking about other things. She asked, "Then, how did Senior Martial Brother Jiang know?"
