386: Chapter 386 People from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect Arrive
On the return Flying Boat, Mo Tianxiao hadn't even had time to organize the spoils of this trip before he was taken to a room by Bai Luoshui and Ancestor Xi Yan for a severe interrogation.
In the room, Ancestor Xi Yan and Bai Luoshui's eyes were filled with deep scrutiny, and their expressions were exceptionally serious.
"Speak. What exactly is your background, and why would you condescend to join our small Hehuan Sect?"
Seeing their serious expressions, Mo Tianxiao felt deeply wronged.
"Revered Master, Grandmaster, you've misunderstood me. I am just an ordinary Cultivator from a Lower Plane who relied on my own hard work and perseverance to luckily gain a bit of skill today.
Being able to become a Disciple of the Hehuan Sect is my honor; how could it be called condescension?"
Mo Tianxiao didn't know what his cheap Revered Master and Grandmaster were imagining in their heads, but every word he said was the truth. He had no grand background; he was just a local from a Lower Plane.
Ancestor Xi Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. "Setting everything else aside, what was going on when you used the power of the God-Demon Physique during your battle with Ji Jiuyou?"
Ancestor Xi Yan could overlook other things, but she had to clarify the matter of the God-Demon Physique. This concerned her future cultivation plans.
Beside her, Bai Luoshui suddenly became somewhat nervous. She knew Mo Tianxiao possessed the God-Demon Physique, but the power of the God-Demon Physique he had used earlier was definitely not his own!
"Disciple, be honest with your Grandmaster. Why were you able to use that power that doesn't belong to you?" Bai Luoshui hurriedly spoke up.
Mo Tianxiao didn't know why the two before him were so focused on the God-Demon Physique, but he still spoke truthfully: "It's just a small trick passed down to me by my reclusive Revered Master. It allows me to transfer the power used by an enemy onto myself for a very short period of time."
"During this extremely short time, the enemy will be unable to use that power, while I can use the enemy's power. That is why I was able to use the power of the God-Demon Physique earlier."
Hearing this, both Ancestor Xi Yan and Bai Luoshui's faces showed a look of surprise.
Ancestor Xi Yan seemed somewhat skeptical, her tone carrying suspicion. "There is such a miraculous method in this world? Why have I never heard of it?"
"Xiao Yu, how long does the effect of this method last?" Ancestor Xi Yan continued to press.
Mo Tianxiao pondered for a moment. "This method is quite miraculous, but its duration is not long. It can only be maintained for about ten breaths of time."
"Only ten breaths..."
Ancestor Xi Yan's brow furrowed slightly. Ten breaths was too short. While it could provide some element of surprise during combat, it was not enough to satisfy her requirements.
"Very well."
Ancestor Xi Yan looked at Mo Tianxiao and said softly, "That mysterious Revered Master of yours is likely no ordinary person. If you find that Revered Master in the future, remember to send my regards on behalf of your Grandmaster."
Mo Tianxiao nodded.
Seeing that her Revered Master had no intention of continuing the questioning, Bai Luoshui waved her hand to let Mo Tianxiao leave first.
Seeing this, Mo Tianxiao cupped his hands and took his leave.
After he left, Bai Luoshui looked at Ancestor Xi Yan thoughtfully. "Revered Master, is there any problem with Xiao Yu?"
Ancestor Xi Yan waved her hand gently. "Everyone has their little secrets. Since Xiao Yu is so capable, his background is naturally not simple. However, since he has become a Disciple of my Hehuan Sect, it is fate."
"There is no need to be suspicious of him. Just treat him as usual."
"Yes." Bai Luoshui nodded.
She wasn't actually suspicious of her good Disciple; she was afraid her Revered Master would see that her Disciple truly possessed the God-Demon Physique and try to snatch him away from her.
After returning to the Hehuan Sect, Mo Tianxiao did not delay for a moment and immediately threw himself into his career.
After this Demonic Path Grand Assembly, for better or worse, he had become famous. The reputation of the Department Store Tower had been established. Next, it was time to harvest.
For lower-end products, Mo Tianxiao directly outsourced them to other Disciples and Elders of the Hehuan Sect. Everyone could earn money together, and it would also lighten his burden.
As for high-end treasures, he handled them personally.
In the Immortal Cave, three identical Mo Tianxiaos were working diligently.
One was performing Alchemy, one was performing Artifact Refining.
As for Mo Tianxiao's original body, he was looking at the bone wings hanging high in the air, filling half the starry sky, lost in thought.
The massive bone wings were covered in ancient patterns. From time to time, a thunder Dragon would explode around them, with rolling thunder and vast Divine Might.
"This thing might be a bit difficult to handle."
The wings of a Law Realm great demon, the Thunder Roc—this thing was a Divine Artifact for traveling.
He had two ways to deal with this. One was to refine it into his own body; whether for combat or escape, it would provide a significant boost.
The other was to refine it into a Magic Treasure. If there came a day in the future when he didn't need it, it would be a good choice to keep as a collection or give as a gift.
"Although these wings are quite cool, refining them into my body is somewhat inappropriate. I'll use them to upgrade the Flying Boat instead."
After hesitating for a moment, Mo Tianxiao decided to use this pair of bone wings to upgrade his ride.
No sooner said than done. Over the next five hundred years, the other two Incarnations were responsible for refining various treasures for the Department Store Tower, while also taking on two jobs to refine top-tier earth law supreme treasures.
His original body, meanwhile, put all its effort into upgrading the Flying Boat.
During this period, if not for his deep foundation and ample supply of Medicinal Pills, he probably wouldn't have been able to sustain such massive consumption.
For him now, performing One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones was already an extremely taxing task, let alone having the Incarnations perform Alchemy and Artifact Refining.
However, compared to the gains, the consumption was secondary.
In five hundred years, Mo Tianxiao finally succeeded in combining the Thunder Roc bone wings with the Flying Boat.
Looking at the moderately sized Flying Boat floating high in the sky, with a pair of lightning bone wings—shrunk several times in size—on its sides, Mo Tianxiao nodded with satisfaction.
"The current speed of this Flying Boat is likely faster than an average top-tier earth law supreme treasure level Flying Boat. Ordinary Law Realm Cultivators will be no match for it."
With a wave of Mo Tianxiao's hand, the Flying Boat turned into a streak of light, shrinking to the size of a palm, and was stored into his spatial ring.
He walked out of the Immortal Cave and headed towards the Department Store Tower, which had been expanded several times.
Before reaching the Department Store Tower, his Divine Sense had already detected the long queue stretching into the starry sky, and he immediately felt very gratified.
It seemed the advertising effect of the Demonic Path Grand Assembly was quite good. The Demonic Domain was so vast; it wouldn't be long before he had to consider expanding and opening branch towers for his Department Store Tower.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Li!"
"Mm."
Walking along the road, many Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters greeted him warmly. Mo Tianxiao nodded in response with a smile on his face.
It gave him a familiar feeling, similar to being back at the Netherworld Demonic Sect in the Xuanhuang World.
"Senior Brother Li has come out of seclusion? A distinguished guest from the Wandu Sect has been waiting for you for a long time. I told them you were in seclusion, but that guest has been waiting in the Hehuan Sect for a hundred years."
A sweet-looking Junior Sister suddenly stepped forward and reported to Mo Tianxiao with cupped hands.
"Oh? Wandu Sect? Could it be for the matter of the Space Teleportation Formation?"
Mo Tianxiao recalled the matter Senior Wuyazi of the Wandu Sect had mentioned casually during the Demonic Path Grand Assembly.
Thinking of this, a meaningful smile appeared on Mo Tianxiao's face. "It seems the matter of the Department Store Tower's branch can start with the Wandu Sect."
"Junior Sister, quickly take me to see the distinguished guest from the Wandu Sect."
