54: Chapter 54 The Night Moon Connects Yin and Yang

"Your sister's strange ailment is Innate; she requires Innate items for nourishment to be fully restored."

"This is a juyuan pill, containing a trace of Innate Primordial Qi. Have your sister take it."

Shen Moyan bluffed.

Shortly after, Luo Hanchán took the juyuan pill. Her aura shifted, and her expression relaxed considerably.

However, that sense of weakness originating from her Bloodline was not entirely dispelled.

Shen Moyan narrowed his eyes slightly; it seemed this Bloodline was extraordinary, with a very long dormancy period.

"Hurry and thank the Immortal Master," Luo Changting said, pulling his sister's hand as he thanked Shen Moyan.

"Thank you... Immortal Master."

Luo Hanchán regained her composure and gave a polite bow, her oversized red robe shining brilliantly in the setting sun.

"This strange ailment is far too rare. Before your sister reaches adulthood, she must not stop taking this pill." Shen Moyan produced several stalks of ginseng, rolled them into pellets, and tossed them to Luo Changting.

Luo Changting fell to his knees, tremblingly receiving those precious Medicinal Pills with a face full of joy.

But on second thought, his smile faded.

"May I ask the Immortal Master, what is the price?"

Luo Changting's expression was serious, his words forceful and resonant.

"Even if I must serve as an ox or a horse, or go through fire and water, I, Changting, will not hesitate!"

Seeing his son act this way, Luo Hui, who was standing nearby, hesitated to speak, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Luo Hanchán quickly pulled at Luo Changting, her eyes full of worry.

Seeing this scene, Shen Moyan raised an eyebrow.

Interesting. This kid would actually go to such lengths for his family.

With such Heart-Nature, neither servile nor overbearing, this boy is extraordinary.

"It was just a casual effort. This small loss is trivial to me. As for the price..."

Shen Moyan swept his gaze over the entire Opera Troupe, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly.

"What do you have that is worth offering? Your life? Ridiculous."

"Your heart is as high as the heavens, but your life is as thin as paper." Shen Moyan stared at Luo Changting, his words sharp and his gaze cold.

For a moment, Luo Changting's face flushed red.

Behind him, Luo Hanchán's small hand gripped his hem even tighter.

She was terrified that Shen Moyan would demand some deadly price.

"However, I value karmic fate and have no interest in these superficial things."

"How about this? I see your Opera Troupe's equipment is quite complete."

"One opera performance will suffice." Shen Moyan's expression was indifferent, but his heart surged for a moment.

"After one performance, whatever price there was will be written off."

This request struck everyone present as strange.

"The Immortal Master is merciful! I thank you on behalf of my son!" Luo Hui quickly pulled the siblings down to kowtow to Shen Moyan.

"What would the Immortal Master like to hear?"

"<calamity of longevity>? <The Dream of Azure Clouds>? Or <A Pillow of the Ultimate Subtle>?..."

He stole a glance and saw that Shen Moyan's expression was gentle, without the slightest hint of disdain, and his tense heartstrings finally relaxed slightly.

But then Luo Hui looked up at the sky, and his face froze.

The sky was already dark; the long night was approaching.

Yao Beasts would emerge at night, making it unsuitable to set up a stage.

Furthermore, they were travel-worn and in poor condition; the opera they performed would certainly not satisfy this Immortal Master.

"Well, Immortal Master, our Opera Troupe travels far and wide, drifting from place to place..."

Shen Moyan stared at Luo Hui and pondered for a long while, seemingly understanding the man's predicament.

"It is getting late. We will leave it as a debt for now."

Shen Moyan said calmly; he was not an entirely heartless person.

In his view, bickering with Mortals was beneath him.

"If fate permits, I will come to hear your music again."

Before leaving, Shen Moyan remembered his true business, his tone remaining indifferent:

"By the way, let me ask you: have you ever seen a strange flying insect near here that can affect one's mind and senses?"

Shen Moyan spread his hand, and his magic power manifested, condensing into the shape of a Six Senses Firefly.

Luo Hui was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly pointed toward the deeper valley on the other side of the Night Moon:

"To answer the Immortal Master, when we were traveling a few years ago, we seemed to have seen some similar insects flying near the Yin-Yang Earth Cave. Those insects... there were too many of them, and they looked ominous, so we didn't dare get close..."

Shen Moyan nodded slightly; this description matched the Six Senses Fireflies quite well.

Having obtained the clue, he did not linger.

His figure became blurred again, as if merging into the approaching night, and he vanished from everyone's sight in an instant, leaving the Opera Troupe standing there in a daze.

"Brother! Are you okay?!"

Luo Hanchán anxiously helped Luo Changting up from the ground.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have cried out back then."

In this world, those high-and-mighty Immortal Masters were never easy to deal with.

"I'm fine, as long as your illness is cured." Luo Changting smiled, completely disregarding his previous display of abandoning his dignity.

Luo Hui looked at his son and daughter, then at the direction where Shen Moyan had vanished, his heart filled with mixed emotions, unsure if today was a blessing or a curse.

"As you sow, so shall you reap. By owing a performance, we have incurred a debt of Karma."

...Yin-Yang Earth Cave.

The so-called Yin-Yang Earth Cave consisted of two giant underground caverns, the Yin Cave and the Yang Cave, separated by over a thousand miles.

High above the Yin Cave, a streak of light flashed by.

Shen Moyan descended upon this hidden place.

Entering the Yin Cave, Shen Moyan found it to be a deep, slippery, and winding natural passage leading downward.

The rock walls were covered with moss and fungi that emitted a faint blue or ghastly green light, providing just enough illumination to barely see.

The air was thick with the smell of damp earth and saturated with moisture, along with an indescribable scent of decay.

"As expected, there are Six Senses Fireflies here."

Shen Moyan swept his Divine Sense through the Yin Cave and discovered swarms of fireflies like clouds and mist.

With his magic power flowing, he gave a wide wave of his sleeve, collecting all these Six Senses Fireflies.

"Hmm? What is this..."

After going several miles deep into the earth cave, in a relatively open cavern, Shen Moyan's gaze was drawn to a peculiar lingzhi-like organism.

It sprouted from a crack in the grayish-white rock, with a massive cap that had a translucent, fleshy texture and layered folds resembling an ear's pinna.

Its color almost blended in with the surrounding rocks, yet it faintly emitted a weak phosphorescence similar to the glowing moss on the walls.

Shen Moyan plucked this Heaven And Earth Treasure that looked like a lingzhi.

"An earth hearing fungus?"

After repeated confirmation, Shen Moyan was overjoyed.

He hadn't expected to have such good luck in this life.

"But why were the Six Senses Fireflies harvested at Night Moon Pool in my previous life?"

Shen Moyan was somewhat puzzled as he casually refined the earth hearing fungus, transforming it into his own Earth Hearing Ear.

At the same time, Shen Moyan's Divine Sense spread out slowly with himself as the center, not missing a single ripple of energy.

The sound of gurgling water reached his ears, surprising him.

He walked deeper into the earth cave; in his Earth Hearing Ear, the sound of flowing water became increasingly muffled, as many cavernous underground rivers led to the deepest part of the earth.

It was deathly silent there, like the deep sea.

"Does this Yin Cave lead to an ocean below?"

Shen Moyan expanded his Divine Sense to its limit and discovered that a vast, boundless underground ocean was indeed hidden in the depths of the cave!

The seawater was dark and bottomless, surging with long, powerful undercurrents and emitting an ancient, damp, salty smell.

Shen Moyan thought of many things in an instant. It seemed a massive underground water source existed beneath this Yin Cave and was connected to the Night Moon Pool.

Perhaps the eggs of the Six Senses Fireflies were washed from here to the Night Moon Pool.

"This is quite interesting. Whether it's the earth cave or the pool, a vast sea exists underground..."

Shen Moyan's expression suddenly froze.

Wait, a vast sea?

"Law of Tribulation Grand Formation: Boundless Azure Clouds Falling into the Vast Sea?"

How could he have overlooked this?

Even if Wild Goose Formation True Monarch had set up the Formation in advance, he couldn't have turned the entire Langya Province into a vast sea in such a short time using that grand Formation.

Furthermore, maintaining a grand Formation requires a Formation Master's full concentration. Shen Moyan recalled the Wild Goose Formation True Monarch from his previous life being calm and composed, showing no sign of the distress of maintaining a Formation while fighting multiple True Monarchs.

"The water element accumulated by the Kongsang Prefecture Four Seasons Grand Formation alone could never cover the entire Langya Province."

"Unless the vast sea in the Formation that day had already existed!"

Shen Moyan's Divine Thought flickered as he thought back to the flood dragon that had dived into the Night Moon Pool.

"As soon as the great war began, the Yao Race immediately adapted to fighting in the vast sea. That was no coincidence."

Suddenly, Shen Moyan's footsteps paused.

In front of him, on the rock walls of the passage on both sides, were massive claw marks and traces where scales had scraped against the rock.

"Wild Goose Formation True Monarch really was in league with the Yao Race."
