"Senior Mo, if I wanted to kill you, wouldn't it be better to do it when you were unconscious just now?" Jiang Yuebai asked with a smile.
Mo Baichun retracted his gaze, "Then you should be thankful that you didn't take advantage of me being unconscious."
Jiang Yuebai was stunned.
Mo Baichun looked outside and said casually, "As a casual cultivator, how dare you let yourself pass out in front of strangers without any means of saving your life? Where are you going?"
Jiang Yuebai said, "At this time, everyone knows that it is safest to not fight in Chaotianque, so the area around Chaotianque is not safe. I plan to go to Lingwu Mountain, where there are low-level cultivators who grow spiritual tea, which is relatively safe."
Mo Baichun nodded and looked at Jiang Yuebai secretly. She hadn't seen her for ten years. The little girl who used to be lively and a little arrogant had become calm, introverted, and very smart. She really couldn't recognize her.
The point is, her innocent heart has not yet been worn away by the cruelty of the world of cultivation.
In the situation just now, if it were Mo Baichun himself, it would be difficult for him not to have the urge to kill and steal the treasure.
"Are you a disciple of Tianyan Sect?" Mo Baichun asked.
Jiang Yuebai did not deny it, and nodded and said, "Tianyan Sect, Jiang Yuebai."
"Looking at your current level of cultivation, your aptitude must be good, at least you are an inner sect disciple. No wonder you refused to follow me back then. Where is your grandfather?"
"He passed away." Jiang Yuebai said in a calm voice.
Mo Baichun knew from the change in Jiang Yuebai's expression that there must be some sadness and hardship involved, so he stopped asking and just looked outside.
The cabin fell silent. Jiang Yuebai thought about it and took the initiative to break the silence.
"Senior Mo, I actually came here specifically to thank you."
"I haven't helped you with anything, so what's there to thank me for?" Mo Baichun said.
Jiang Yuebai shook his head, "No, the magic stone method and puppet you left me helped me through the most difficult times. I was young and frivolous back then and offended you, Senior."
"Really?" Mo Baichun raised his eyebrows. "In that case, you saved me this time, and we are even now."
All his words of thanks were blocked. Jiang Yuebai saw Mo Baichun's empty lower body and hurriedly took out several puppets he had made from his storage bracelet.
"Senior Mo, I have some puppets here. Can you see if I can dismantle and reassemble them? I'll help you with your legs first... so that you can move more easily."
A cultivator can only reshape his body when he reaches the Nascent Soul stage. Before that, Mo Baichun can only rely on puppets to move.
Mo Baichun raised his hand and looked through several puppets. "Is this for mining? It seems that you have put a lot of thought into this aspect over the years. It's great that you can break the routine. You have some talent as a puppeteer."
Mo Baichun started to dismantle the puppet and modify its parts. Some of his techniques made Jiang Yuebai dizzy.
"Senior Mo, I didn't see it clearly just now. How did you connect this piece and still be able to rotate it in eight directions without being affected?"
"Want to know?" Mo Baichun asked with a smile.
Jiang Yuebai nodded vigorously, his eyes bright.
Mo Baichun stretched out his hand, "One hundred middle-grade spirit stones."
"Cough!" Jiang Yuebai was choked by saliva.
Mo Baichun chuckled, "We independent cultivators are different from you, the well-fed and well-clothed cultivators of the sects. When I wanted to accept you, I naturally had to lay some bait. Now that I know you won't be my disciple, why should I teach you in vain?"
Jiang Yuebai: … …
"Since we have some affinity, I can teach you a few tricks, but there's a price to pay. Do you understand, little girl?"
Jiang Yuebai nodded with a bitter face. Although she felt that Mo Baichun was too realistic, she also felt that what she said made sense and could not be refuted.
"Then I won't ask you about the puppetry technique. I want to know what you used to control those two foundation-building monks just now?"
"Ten middle-grade spirit stones."
Jiang Yuebai glared, "You're charging for this? Then I'm also charging you for these puppets!!"
Mo Baichun chuckled, "I'm just kidding. That's the puppeteer's secret technique, 'Silk Control Technique'. The mind turns into silk, which can more accurately control the puppet in battle."
"I see, secret techniques... are more expensive, right?"
"One hundred... top-grade spirit stones!"
Jiang Yuebai stared, as expected!
"Senior Mo, what are you doing here..."
"One hundred middle-grade spirit stones."
"… "
"Senior Mo, you..."
"one hundred."
"… "
"Mo Ke~ I don't want to ask anything, please continue, continue."
Jiang Yuebai scratched his head in annoyance.
She had not yet gone to collect the income from Huaxi Valley for the past six months. She only had 400 middle-grade spirit stones on her, so she could only ask four questions.
Jiang Yuebai covered his face and felt for the first time the cost of knowledge.
After assembling his simple legs, Mo Baichun slowly walked out of the cabin, stretched his muscles outside, and looked back in the direction of the Ten Thousand Poison Forest. The battle was basically over, and the world returned to silence.
"I really suffered a huge loss this time. My realm dropped, and I used up all the puppets I had accumulated over the past ten years. The two bastards from Baiyang Sect also took away a lot of the good stuff."
"What a pity! I was so unlucky that I almost died. They must not be any better. Who could have known that the greatest treasure buried under the ruins of the Heavenly Demon Sect was actually a Tai Sui!"
"Tai Sui?" Jiang Yuebai came out and asked curiously, "Is it the Ganoderma lucidum?"
Ganoderma lucidum and Ganoderma versicolor seem to be the same kind.
Mo Baichun smiled, "That is the real Tai Sui that has gathered all the filth and foul air from heaven and earth, and has been suppressed underground for tens of thousands of years without decaying. If you get a little bit of it, you will be plagued by bad luck."
"So you dug it out?"
Mo Baichun nodded, "Yes, I was sprayed with disgusting filth by that thing, and then the ruins exploded."
Jiang Yuebai suddenly thought of the baby he had encountered, and felt a chill on his back.
"What is Tai Sui like?"
Mo Baichun frowned, "It looks disgusting. Next time I see it, I must not let it touch me."
Jiang Yuebai secretly remembered that although the description was different, she felt that the baby was Tai Sui.
"Although it is bad luck to touch Tai Sui, Tai Sui itself is a rare wood spirit of heaven and earth. Its medicinal properties are a hundred times stronger than the longevity pill. It just depends on who has the courage to use Tai Sui as medicine."
"If you swallow Tai Sui, you will live forever, but you will also be unlucky for a lifetime. It's interesting to think about it~"
Jiang Yuebai's eyes originally lit up when he heard the words 'wood spirit of heaven and earth', but when he heard the following words, his eyes suddenly became unfocused, and his heart was full of rejection.
"Little girl," Mo Baichun turned around and looked at Jiang Yuebai, "There is someone who can treat my injury, but I can't go there by myself right now. You take me there, and I will thank you with the Silk Controlling Technique and a 'Sword Sky Puppet', how about that?"
Jiang Yuebai didn't rush to agree, and asked, "Where is that person?"
"Soul-Breaking Ridge, Poison Doctor Xue Liuzhi."
Jiang Yuebai's expression changed slightly. She often heard people talking about this person in Chaotianque.
It is said that he is a weird guy, with the cultivation level of the initial stage of Golden Core, and he lives alone in the depths of Soul-Breaking Ridge.
The Soul-Breaking Ridge is filled with poisonous flowers and insects, making it even more dangerous than the Ten Thousand Poison Forest. Only those who have passed through his Poison Maze are eligible to ask him for help.
However, half of those who came to him never came back, and the remaining half who came back all said that his medical skills were superb and unparalleled in the world.
only…
Jiang Yuebai frowned, "Senior Mo, have you heard that only male cultivators have a chance to escape unscathed from Xue Liuzhi?"
Mo Baichun sighed, "I know, but I have no other choice at the moment. If you don't want to, that's fine. I still need some time to recuperate. You can think about it slowly."
