At this time, Ji Xue suddenly said: "I have been here for a few days and asked the mountain people. They all say that the night is clear and bright, and it cannot be reduced. Moreover, with the spiritual energy being cut off, there must be a monster here swallowing the essence of the sun and moon. It seems that it is not an ordinary product. The summons also said that everything can be taken by oneself. Big brother, don't you want to go and try?"
Mo Zi Chen didn't respond, she always felt that this female cultivator had some slight hostility towards her.
Ji Youfei made a helpless expression, he knew that his younger sister had a strong competitive spirit. At the Lianhua Conference last year, she was eager to make a name for herself, but was defeated by a talented young girl from the Jiu Hua Xian Sect in the first round, suffering a crushing defeat. She returned home and cried, and since then, whenever she saw disciples of the Jiu Hua Xian Sect, her expression would turn ugly.
Mo Zi Chen smiled mysteriously and walked over to look at the recruitment notice posted on the gate, which was exactly what Ji You Fei had said, except that at the end it added: if solved, each person will be rewarded with 10 pieces of spiritual stone afterwards.
Mo Zi Chen's eyes lit up as soon as he saw this sentence.
Don't underestimate these ten pieces of spiritual stones. In some medium-sized sects, except for the treatment of personally transmitted disciples being better, ordinary disciples are only allocated two pieces of spiritual stones per month. Ten pieces per person, if added up, is almost enough to equal the output of this small spiritual vein for two months. It seems that Jingtan Sect has indeed invested a lot of money this time.
If I had these spirit stones and could repair the transmission array, I probably wouldn't have to walk so hard.
This man looks like he's got some skills, following him shouldn't get us killed, right?
She saw Ji Xue's somewhat displeased expression and couldn't help but feel a bit competitive, saying casually: "That day I once saw two black moon purple toads in the mountains, I think the monsters here won't be that fierce, most likely they can still be dealt with."
Ji Youfei exclaimed: "I can't believe that a fellow Daoist as young as you has such broad knowledge, and has even seen something like the Xuan Yue Purple Toad. I wonder if you have obtained the Xuan Ji Dan?"
Ji Xue looked at her with some skepticism, "I've heard that the south is a place of poisonous and evil miasma, Xuan Yue Zi Yan, are you saying that it takes over 3,000 years for the Xuan Ji Dan to be produced..."
Mo Zi Chen said faintly: "I've seen those two, they're already over 9,000 years old, but unfortunately, they're both dead and I didn't bring back a single live one."
She wasn't lying, but that Xuanji Dan, she had searched for it later, but never found it. She suspected that maybe Zhang Jian had taken it away, and then in that lightning strike, it was reduced to ashes. But the 9,000-year-old Purple Toad wasn't fake.
Ji Youfei was indeed surprised and said: "It's actually a Wang Chan that's over 9,000 years old! Mo Dao friend, you're really lucky."
Ji Xue was proud and arrogant, but she didn't think Mo Zi Chen would lie about this matter either. For a moment, she also fell silent and stopped talking.
Ji Youfei said: "So to speak, Mo Dao friend is also going to take action with us?"
Mo Zi Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Although being with these two men would inevitably lead to danger, the teleportation array was currently damaged, and within this radius of thousands of miles, there was only this one large city. If she didn't use the teleportation array and walked step by step, the journey would be long and arduous, not to mention having to cross the Ling Jing Mountain in the distance. Anyway, it was all about taking a risk, so why not take advantage of this opportunity to gain some benefits first? She asked: "Just the three of us?"
Ji You flew back and turned his head to look in another direction, saying: "There is also a fellow Daoist with the surname Yu, we all arrived two days ago, he said he was going to make some preparations, now it should be time."
Ji Xue said: "He's always been slow in doing things, I don't know when he'll finish."
At this time, a clear and crisp laughter came from afar: "Ji Xiaomei, talking about people behind their backs is not a good habit." A man appeared in the distance, hurrying towards them with swift steps. He walked with a steady pace, neither slow nor fast, but his speed was extremely quick, and within a few breaths, he had already arrived near the three of them.
He wore a fiery red cloak, with black tight-fitting clothes underneath. The two colors contrasted strongly, bringing out an exceptionally bright color. He said to Ji Youfeng, "Brother Ji, I'm also doing this just in case, you know there are many poisonous insects deep in the mountains."
Before he had even finished speaking, he saw Mo Zi Chen standing beside him and his eyes lit up. He cupped his hands in greeting: "I am Yu Wei, a disciple of the San Yang Sect. I don't know how to address you, friend?"
Ji Youfei said: "This is Miao Dao of Jiuhua, my brother and sister met here."
Yu Wei asked: "So it's Mo Dao friend, I don't know which sect you come from?"
Mo Zi Chen didn't think much and said: "My master, I come from the Taihua lineage."
When they heard these two words, the three of them exchanged a glance, and their expressions all became somewhat strange. Yu Wei looked at Mo Zi Chen again, and the suspicious look on his face intensified. Ji Xue seemed to want to ask something else, but was pulled by Ji You Fei's sleeve, and closed her mouth without speaking.
Mo Zi Chen was still a bit embarrassed, afraid that they would ask about her master's name. To be honest, she didn't know the name of the man who had thrown the jade token at her and then abandoned her. But strangely, they didn't mention it, and when it came to the Tai Hua clan, they just lightly glossed over it, as if they had never brought up the topic before.
She originally had a sharp mind and felt that something was slightly off, but she couldn't bring herself to speak out and test the waters, so she could only bury this topic in her heart.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a while, and Ji Youfei said: "Yu Wei, are your things all ready?"
"Of course, it's just that this place is really too remote. I spent two days searching and finally gathered everything I needed." He opened a leather pouch at his waist, inside which were about seven or eight jade bottles, a large brush with fine silk hairs shining with golden light, and a stack of extremely flexible and durable yellow paper made from some unknown material. With a proud smile, he said: "This time, I specially brought out Master's brush. If she finds out, I'll be in big trouble later on. Brother Ji, you have to help me cover for it."
Ji Youfei couldn't help but laugh: "You rascal, always causing trouble, I don't have the leisure to help you bear the blame."
Mo Zi Chen couldn't help but feel a little surprised, originally she still had some doubts in her heart. The Ji siblings, she herself couldn't see through their cultivation, at least they should be above the foundation building stage, yet Yu Wei could tell that he and Mo Zi Chen were both just Qi Refining cultivators, only his realm was far higher than hers. But this shouldn't be worth the Ji siblings specially waiting for her.
It wasn't until now that she realized that Yu Wei was actually a seal master.
