"Be careful, Mo Yan, step back, I'll protect you." Li Muge was very considerate of an elder.
Especially given that Mo Yan's attitude towards her has become so gentle.
"Alright, Sect Master, I trust you. You must protect me well." Mo Yan followed behind Li Muge with a faint smile on his lips, as if something interesting had happened.
Deeper into the mine, the further Li Muge went, the more he felt like he was entering an ice cellar, so cold that his breath turned into white smoke.
"Mo Yan, maybe we shouldn't go in. It's terribly cold inside." Li Muge was shivering from the cold.
"Yes, it's so cold." Mo Yan feigned concern. "I originally thought that Sect Master's magical power was so great that he wouldn't be afraid of the cold, but I didn't expect... Sect Master, perhaps we should turn back..."
Hearing Mo Yan's words, Li Muge gritted her teeth and said, "Go? Go? What are you talking about? Mo Yan, do you know how powerful I am? Do you think I'd be afraid of a little cold?"
"Let's go, I'm determined to see what's down there today." Li Muge said, trying to regain her image in Mo Yan's heart.
She untied the knot around her neck and took out the cloak she had just used to keep warm from the storage bag, then draped it over Mo Yan's shoulders.
"No need, Sect Master, it's so cold today," Mo Yan declined.
"What do you mean you don't need it? This temperature is so low, I feel hot, what's the big deal?" Li Muge forcefully draped the cloak over Mo Yan's shoulders.
She gritted her teeth and kept going. Damn Shao Junhao! If she finds out that bastard dared to lie to her today, she'll chop him into eight pieces when she gets back.
Seeing that Li Muge was shivering from the cold but was still pretending to be fine, Mo Yan felt like teasing her.
"Sect Master, you are just as I thought. No matter how powerful your magic is, the current predicament will not be a problem for you."
"Yeah, definitely." Yeah, right. Li Muge felt like she was frozen solid, but she had to maintain her image in front of Mo Yan.
The further they went, the more their shoes were covered in frost, and Li Muge's lips turned icy cold.
Mo Yan caught a glimpse of this scene and his heart softened. He then draped his coat and Li Muge's cloak over Li Muge's shoulders.
"No, I'm not cold," Li Muge still tried to deny it.
Mo Yan smiled gently: "Alright, Sect Master, I know you're not cold, but you're still wearing it. You've already used up too much spiritual energy to repair the mine."
"Thank you, Mo Yan, you're so kind to me." Li Muge's eyes welled up with tears, and she suddenly thought of Yun Qi again, feeling regretful.
If she could have found Yun Qi to be by his side during his final days, would she have avoided so many regrets?
Mo Yan sensed that Li Muge's mood was rapidly declining, but he did not ask any questions. Everyone has secrets, and asking too many questions would only cause the person to feel more resentful.
Deep within the mineral vein.
The cold gradually subsided, and it was like springtime when flowers bloomed. Li Muge really found the divine tree here.
Mo Yan's eyes flickered the moment he saw the divine tree.
Following the directions given by Shao Junhao, Li Muge quickly found the divine fruit.
She just didn't know that.
This divine fruit had long been switched by Wu Qingyi.
When Wu Qingyi discovered that Shao Junhao's purpose in helping Li Muge was simply to leave this world.
He decided that he would not let Li Muge succeed in anything Shao Junhao wanted to help him accomplish.
Wu Qingyi took the divine fruit out of his hand and used his spiritual power to examine it. As he expected, the divine fruit was only effective for Li Muge.
He destroyed the true divine fruit.
But he wants to do much more than that.
He overheard that Shao Junhao seemed to dislike Li Muge and Yun Qi being together.
Since Shao Junhao didn't want to, Wu Qingyi's smile deepened, filled with sinister intent.
But he insisted on binding Yun Qi's reincarnation tightly to Li Muge, making them entangled endlessly.
Mo Yan did not forget his purpose and kept searching for a treasure that could replace the Earth Spirit Orb.
It is said that this thing is under the divine tree. Mo Yan held Buddhist beads, wondering how he could openly and legitimately uproot this divine tree in front of Li Muge.
Li Muge took the divine fruit, placed it in his palm, and observed it for a long time. This fruit looked quite ordinary, there was nothing wrong with it!
But is it really as miraculous as Shao Junhao said? Can someone really possess a thousand years of magical power? Why is she so skeptical?
Mo Yan walked to the divine tree, apologized in his heart, placed his hand on the trunk, gathered his spiritual power, and slightly turned it over.
The once lush and verdant sacred tree withered and disappeared completely.
Li Muge sensed something was wrong and immediately turned around, but Mo Yan had already thought of a solution.
"Sect Master, look, there seems to be something strange under this divine tree," Mo Yan said loudly, his plan was extremely well-thought-out.
First, he handed over something that could replace the Earth Spirit Orb to Li Muge. If the Earth Spirit Orb failed, Li Muge would take it out to replace it and suppress the problem.
Li Muge sensed an unusual fluctuation of spiritual energy: "There seems to be something in this soil. Mo Yan, let's dig it out together."
"Okay." Mo Yan smiled with satisfaction and helped Li Muge dig out the treasure hidden under the divine tree.
However, when he saw the true face of this treasure, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.
What was dug out was a stone egg, grayish-brown, with no distinguishing features that could be considered a treasure.
Mo Yan was very suspicious. He didn't stop digging and planned to dig a little deeper, just in case there were still treasures down there that they had missed.
But what if, in reality, Li Mu's egg is just an ordinary stone egg, with no power to suppress the mountain range at all?
Mo Yan dug several feet deep, using his spiritual power to survey the area, and confirmed that there were no more treasures under the divine tree. His thin lips were pressed tightly together, revealing an indescribable disappointment.
Li Muge held the stone egg, feeling the flow of spiritual energy inside. After a moment's thought, he put the stone egg into his storage bag.
Just then, a dark shadow flashed by, and Li Muge and Mo Yan immediately gave chase.
Li Muge used his hearing to pinpoint the location of the shadowy figure and began fighting him.
Unexpectedly, the shadowy figure suddenly cast a spell to push her into the adjacent dark room. Just as the mechanism door was about to close, Mo Yan bent down and slid in.
"Sect Master, are you alright?"
"I, I'm fine." Li Muge was about to get up when he suddenly smelled a strong, warm fragrance in the air.
"Oh no, we've fallen into their trap! Quick, Mo Yan, find a way to open the door!"
Wu Qingyi, standing outside the gate, pulled down her mask and left with a cold look in her eyes.
Mo Yan also sensed something was wrong, and he used magic to resist the unfamiliar feeling in his body.
Li Muge walked directly to the stone gate, gathered his magical power, and tried to shatter the stone gate.
No matter how they cast their spells, not even a layer of dust fell off the stone gate.
The temperature inside the stone chamber continued to rise, and Li Muge broke out in a thin layer of sweat.
Li Muge and Mo Yan were about eight zhang apart.
"Damn it, if I find out who it is, I will kill him."
Li Muge dug her nails into her flesh to keep herself conscious.
But it still couldn't stop the waves of heat from surging through its body.
