Chapter 783: A Fairy Fallen from Heaven
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Cold Spiritual Water was very useful even to immortal cultivators in the Primordial Soul Realm. It was much less useful to regular warriors, and so it was a waste to give it to them.
However, Mo Qingtian did not believe that. Mo Wen had so much talent and potential that he, even as a warrior, had the right to use the Cold Spiritual Water. Furthermore, the water belonged to Old Man Ku Ji. It would be a waste not to take it.
While the Fire Leaving Stone was about the same price as the Cold Spiritual Water, the stone would definitely be more important to Old Man Ki Ji because he needed it to change his current situation.
A flash of light appeared in Mo Wen’s eyes. He looked at Old Man Ku Ji with bright eyes and said, “Senior Ku Ji, if you are willing to exchange the Cold Spiritual Water for the Fire Leaving Stone, I am willing to go to the Path of Creation to find the stone.”
He did not expect the Cold Spiritual Water to be so precious. It could change a person from inside out and also allow one’s body to absorb secondary vital Qi. Both of those things interested Mo Wen greatly. With the Cold Spiritual Water, his cultivation would definitely improve by leaps and bounds. Even if he could not reach the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, he would definitely be able to reach the peak of the Golden Elixir Realm.
“This… The Cold Spiritual Water is too precious and it is very useful to me as well. Furthermore, giving you an opportunity to go to the Path of Creation is already a very big boon. If I give you the Cold Spiritual Water in exchange too, then I would be making a great loss. I can give you another slightly less powerful treasure in exchange. What do you think?”
Old Man Ku Ji said after some hesitation. The Cold Spiritual Water was too precious and it was just as valuable as the Fire Leaving Stone. How could he bear to exchange it with Mo Wen?
Mo Qingtian moved to stand beside Mo Wen. “Mo Wen, don’t listen to the old man,” he said. “While the Cold Spiritual Water is precious, the Fire Leaving Stone is even more so. There would be many who would be willing to exchange the Cold Spiritual Water for the Fire Leaving Stone. Furthermore, you belong to the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall. If you perform exceptionally in the future and contribute sufficiently, you can apply to go on the Path of Creation. That will not be difficult for you. As such, this opportunity from Old Man Ku Ji is not very valuable.”
Mo Qingtian understood the crafty old man well. Mo Wen had never met him before and was likely to be tricked.
Those who desired the opportunity to go on the Path of Creation were likely to be unable to find the Fire Leaving Stone. However, those who were able to find the Fire Leaving Stone on the path would be able to enter the Path of Creation without the help of these old men.
Furthermore, both he and Old Man Ku Ji could tell that Mo Wen cultivated in the Fire of Nine Yang. This was extremely rare amongst warriors, and it meant that Mo Wen could be considered one in a million. The probability of a person like this finding the Fire Leaving Stone was much higher than that of an ordinary warrior. This was also why Old Man Ku Ji had come to find Mo Wen personally. It would be difficult to find someone else like Mo Wen.
“Senior Ku Ji, since the difference in value between the Fire Leaving Stone and the Cold Spiritual Water is not large, then how about I exchange it with you when I find the Fire Leaving Stone in the future? I believe that I will be able to step on the Path of Creation with my own abilities.”
Mo Wen had not been certain at first. However, Mo Qingtian told him that he would definitely have the chance to step on the Path of Creation. Mo Wen grew certain about what he would do, and he had no intention of changing his mind.
“Old Man Ku Ji, is the Cold Spiritual Water or the Fire Leaving Stone more important to you? Think about it. One can say that amongst the batch of warriors who can enter the Path of Creation, Mo Wen’s abilities are right at the top. Furthermore, there is no one more suitable than him to find the Fire Leaving Stone. If you are not willing to make the exchange with him, I am sure there are other old men who would be interested in making this deal.”
Mo Qingtian turned to look at the other old men in the Senate as he spoke. There were many who looked over. They had naturally heard the conversation between Old Man Ku Ji and Mo Wen.
Actually, the treasures in the Path of Creation would make any immortal cultivator in the Primordial Soul Realm salivate. Every time the Path of Creation opened, some old men from the Senate would find warriors who could enter the path. They would ask the warriors to find treasures that could help them and then raise conditions for the exchange of these treasures.
The other old men all discovered Mo Wen when Old Man Ku Ji found him. Many were interested. However, Old Man Ku Ji had approached Mo Wen first and his cultivation levels were high. They did not dare to interfere.
“Mo Qingtian, return the Thunder Stone you owe me immediately!” Old Man Ku Ji gritted his teeth in anger.
“I don’t have it right now. I shall return it later. It’s not like I won’t return it.” Mo Qingtian shrugged uncaringly.
“I shall pester you for it until you return it. I shall follow you every day and ask you for it.” Old Man Ku Ji clenched his fist and looked menacing. This was ridiculous, Mo Qingtian was a bully to behave like this!
“Alright, none of you old fogeys have a good bone in your bodies. You’re bullying him because he is new here. Mo Wen is someone with support behind him. Do you think that someone will look you up if you bully him?” Mo Qingtian asked faintly.
“His surname is also Mo. Is he your relative?” Old Man Ku Ji looked at Mo Qingtian oddly. He had never heard that Mo Qingtian had a relative like that. No wonder Mo Qingtian was helping the lad so much. He understood now that the two were working together.
“It’s not only us who have this surname. There is someone in the Senate with the surname Mo. Are you sure you want to go against him?” Mo Qingtian looked at Old Man Ku Ji with a weird glint in his eyes.
“Another Mo…” Old Man Ku Ji thought for a moment before his eyes flew wide open. He stared at Mo Qingtian and said, “You mean the person who is backing him is not you, but that person…”
Mo Qingtian smiled and did not speak. He only looked at Old Man Ku Ji with a glance that advised the old man to think for himself.
Old Man Ku Ji smiled bitterly and said, “Little friend Mo Wen, if you can find the Fire Leaving Stone on the Path of Creation, I will exchange it for the Cold Spiritual Water. I can also give you the opportunity to enter the Path of Creation.”
If that person was really a backer of Mo Wen, then he would not dare to trick the lad. He might not believe anyone else, but since he had heard it from Mo Qingtian, then there must be some truth what he had said.
Mo Wen was confused by what he heard. Even he did not know that he had a backer in Huatian Palace. However, since Old Man Ku Ji had taken a step back, he would not let this opportunity pass him by either. He hurriedly said, “Senior, don’t worry. I will do my best to find the Fire Leaving Stone.”
The Cold Spiritual Water was too important to him. It was as good as a vital Qi baptism. At his current stage of cultivation, he needed special techniques to make another breakthrough quickly.
Several old men approached after Old Man Ku Ji and Mo Wen were done with their negotiations.
“Little friend Mo Wen, I am Taoist Ziming of the Senate. I would like your help…”
“Mo Wen, I am Madman Zhang of the Senate, I would like to discuss something with you…”
“Mo Wen…”
…
In just a short while, five or six people surrounded Mo Wen. They were all asking Mo Wen to find a certain treasure on the Path of Creation. They all had different requests. The treasures on the Path of Creation could satisfy every immortal cultivator in the Primordial Soul Realm present.
Earlier, during Mo Wen and Old Man Ku Ji’s conversation, they could tell that Mo Wen had potential and was likely to make great gains on the Path of Creation. They would not miss this chance to make a booking.
Of course, it was not that Mo Wen would definitely be able to find those things if they told Mo Wen about it. There were too many treasures on the Path of Creation. Many things could only be found based on luck unless a person sought it out deliberately. If a person had some ideas of what treasure to look for and carefully searched for it, the probability of them finding it would be much higher.
In fact, before the Path of Creation opened each time, some veterans of the Senate would gather together and come up with a list of what they needed as well as where it could possibly be found on the Path of Creation. They would give a huge reward to those who found the items they needed.
There would always be people who would step forward when there are rewards. Some warriors did indeed bring good stuff from the Path of Creation to these old men. However, the probability of this happening was not high. Things that powerhouses in the Primordial Soul Realm needed were no ordinary treasures. Even though warriors who can enter the Path of Creation all had high cultivation levels, the probability of them getting such items was very low.
When the old men surrounded Mo Wen and enticed him with rewards, the bright moon in the sky suddenly darkened. There was a gust of wind and the forest quietened down. Even the beasts and insects in the forest did not dare to make a sound.
“She is here,” Mo Qingtian said lightly.
The ten or so old men who surrounded Mo Wen stopped talking by tacit agreement and they turned to look at the peak of a mountain.
The large round moon seemed linked to the mountain. Under the moon, stood a tall slender figure. It was a stunning woman.
Mo Wen could not describe her beauty. He had seen many beautiful women, but none could compare to her. She wore a long fluttering robe and her eyes sparkled like the stars in the sky. Her skin was as pale as snow and her hair was like waves in the sea. She was devastatingly beautiful, like a fairy who had fallen from heaven.
“It’s her!” Shock flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. The woman was none other than Mo Qingge, whom he had not seen in a long while!
What was she doing here? Many questions sped through Mo Wen’s mind. This was not the kind of place a girl like Mo Qingge should be at. But she was here. This completely overturned what Mo Wen knew of her.
In the past, Mo Qingtian had looked like Mo Dong’er and had the Massacre’s Host as well. He did not notice anything different.
“Deputy Director Mo.”
The old men of the senate as well as the people of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall all bowed and greeted Mo Qingge respectfully when they saw her.
Only Mo Qingtian and Mo Wen remained standing. Mo Qingtian was an imposing and impressive figure. Mo Wen stood there dazedly, not understanding what was happening before him.
“She is one of the veterans amongst the 12 senates of the Senate. She is also the Deputy Director of the Senate. She is in charge of this mission,” Mo Qingtian said lightly.
He seemed to have expected Mo Wen’s shock.
“What is your relationship with her?” Mo Wen frowned as if he had almost gotten a grasp of what was happening.
“She is my elder sister.” Mo Qingtian looked at the girl on the cliff. There was an emotion in his eyes that would only be present when a person looked at his loved ones.
“I see.” Mo Wen immediately understood many things. No wonder Mo Qingtian had invited him to join the Vermilion Bird Palace Hall and had helped him out so much for no reason. It must have something to do with Mo Qingge.
