128: Details

"Fellow Daoist Mo, you can visit Xuanqing Sect someday."

True Lord Herun suddenly disappeared, only a voice echoed in the air.

The two Spirit Void Sect Cultivators left, Immortal Master He died, and Mo Xuan was not seriously injured.

True Lord Herun's goal had been achieved. He had only come out of seclusion today and was still unaware of many things. Moreover, there was the information Elder Chu had mentioned before leaving, which needed to be confirmed.

So he did not stay here any longer.

Although Xuanqing Sect was powerful in Huichuan Prefecture before, there was no Nascent Soul True Lord within the sect, so many pieces of information were unknown to them.

A single step's difference was a world apart. Now, Xuanqing Sect finally had the qualification to enter the fray.

Mo Xuan looked at the direction True Lord Herun departed, feeling a hint of envy. Without reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, one would forever remain a mere chess piece.

"Uncle Xuan."

Jade Moon Peak's Great Formation opened, and Zhou Liyue flew out, arriving not far from Mo Xuan, bowing respectfully to him.

"Are there any casualties in the family?"

Mo Xuan regained his senses and asked Zhou Liyue, whose face was pale and weak.

"No serious injuries."

Zhou Liyue replied softly.

Although the clash between Mo Xuan and Elder Chu took place in the sky, the aftershocks of a Golden Core Stage battle were not so easily resolved.

This time, the Zhou Family suffered considerable losses, and many of their disciples were injured, but fortunately, there were no fatalities, which was a blessing in disguise.

However, these minor matters did not need to trouble Uncle Xuan.

Zhou Liyue looked at the injured Mo Xuan again, her expression somewhat heavy.

This time, if not for the need to protect the Zhou Family, with Mo Xuan's Breath Concealment Divine Ability, as long as he didn't expose himself, Elder Chu, despite his profound cultivation, would not have discovered him.

Hearing this, Mo Xuan nodded.

Then, with a sweep of his magic power, he pulled over the corpse of Immortal Master He, which had fallen to the ground.

He glanced at the fiery red longsword in his hand. This was Immortal Master He's Lifebound Treasure, the scarlet flame sword. However, with its owner's death, the power of this third-tier magic treasure was greatly diminished.

This Lifebound Treasure, forged with blood and spirit, shared its owner's glory and decline. Coupled with Mo Xuan's forceful erasure of its imprint, its power was further reduced.

To restore its original might, it would probably require years of careful nurturing.

"Forget it, it'll just be a third-rank treasure material."

Mo Xuan examined it for a few moments, feeling a bit disdainful.

Immortal Master He's strength was not great to begin with, so the original power of this Magic Treasure couldn't have been very impressive, which was why Mo Xuan was so dismissive of it.

Mo Xuan casually flicked his tail, tossing the scarlet flame sword to Zhou Liyue.

Zhou Liyue hastily caught it, stumbling, almost being dragged down by the scarlet flame sword unexpectedly.

"Cough ~"

Mo Xuan felt a bit awkward. He almost forgot that although this sword was somewhat lacking, that was only relative to him. For Zhou Liyue, an Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, it was naturally incredibly powerful.

Fortunately, she managed to catch it in the end.

"What a heavy sword! As expected of a third-tier magic treasure!"

Zhou Liyue, however, didn't notice Mo Xuan's attempt to cover up his embarrassment. The remaining magic power in her body surged out, allowing her to barely grip the scarlet flame sword, her heart filled with joy.

"With this third-rank magic sword, the power of the family's mountain protecting grand array can be further enhanced."

With this scarlet flame sword as the eye of the formation, coupled with Zhou Liyue and Zhou Leren, two Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, and the rest of the Zhou Family's Qi Refining Stage Cultivators, even a Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator attacking would likely be held off for some time.

"Uncle Xuan, this..."

Although Mo Xuan's intention was already very clear, Zhou Liyue still hesitated.

After all, a third-tier magic treasure was quite valuable, and Zhou Liyue was somewhat hesitant.

"It's fine, I can't use this sword."

Mo Xuan said casually, too embarrassed to say that he looked down on the sword.

"Thank you, Uncle Xuan."

Only then did Zhou Liyue put the scarlet flame sword into her Storage Pouch and thanked Mo Xuan.

Subsequently, Mo Xuan retrieved the Storage Pouch from Immortal Master He's waist and erased the imprint on it.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Mo Xuan felt a slight joy in his heart. There were several third-rank Spirit Medicine and a few third-rank healing Medicinal Pill, which were useful to him. He opened his snake mouth and swallowed the items he favored into his belly.

After doing all this, Mo Xuan's Divine Sense swept over it again, and the remaining items were of no use to him.

He closed the Storage Pouch and tossed it to Zhou Liyue.

Mo Xuan felt a little hesitant in his heart, wondering whether or not to visit the He Family.

However, he then thought that with True Lord Herun now out of seclusion, Xuanqing Sect would probably personally settle the grievances. It would be best not to overstep his bounds.

After all, the He and Ming families had always avoided the Zhou Family before. Strictly speaking, they couldn't be considered enemies of the Zhou Family.

The only one with a grudge against him, Immortal Master He, had already been killed by him.

Thinking these thoughts, Mo Xuan's mind cleared, and he no longer concerned himself with the He Family's affairs.

Zhou Liyue would often visit Huxin Island to report recent events regarding the past grievances between the He and Ming families and Xuanqing Sect. Therefore, Mo Xuan was also aware of the situation and wouldn't have the illusion of having slept for thousands of years due to his slumber.

"Alright, the family matters will be left to you from now on."

Mo Xuan said to Zhou Liyue, who looked hesitant and had something to say but held back. With a spread of the wind wings on his back, he flew into Qingyuan Lake.

"Ding ~"

At the bottom of Qingyuan Lake, Mo Xuan re-coiled his body.

"Bloodline: Spirit Beast, can Cultivate to Nascent Soul Stage Peak."

The exotic fruit that Zhou Liye had sent earlier had integrated into Mo Xuan's Bloodline when he Broke through to the Golden Core Stage.

The effect of this exotic fruit was to allow Yao Beast to Break through the Innate Bloodline shackles. If there were no System, the value of this exotic fruit would truly be immeasurable.

With his current Bloodline, even without relying on Clan Fortune Points, he could Cultivate to the Nascent Soul Peak on his own.

However, if he wanted to continue advancing, he would still have to rely on his System.

Mo Xuan felt a little helpless; this fruit was somewhat of a chicken rib.

But this also put Mo Xuan's mind at ease; at least his true nature had not been seen through by others.

After observing for a moment, the Clan Fortune Points, which had been depleted when he Broke through to the Golden Core Stage, had now increased to twenty-four points.

That was still pretty good.

Putting away the System panel, Mo Xuan carefully sensed his injuries. Fortunately, the injuries were not severe. He integrated the several Spirit Medicine and healing Medicinal Pill from Immortal Master He's Storage Pouch into his body's blood, slowly catalyzing the medicinal power.

Inside his body, there were still demon cores that had not yet been refined.

"As long as I refine those few demon cores, I will definitely be able to Break through to the Mid Golden Core Stage."

Mo Xuan mused in his heart. If he Broke through to the Mid Golden Core Stage and faced Elder Chu again today, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

"I'm almost becoming a desperate fighter..."

Mo Xuan mocked himself.

"Alas, snake life is not easy ~"

Qingyuan Lake slowly fell silent.
