At first, the master and disciple duo still had some sense of propriety, but in the end they became truly shameless. They directly used Mo Yan's resources to promote Leng Ling, and even went around spreading the message that they would still love her through five lifetimes. It was really disgusting.
Upon seeing the lightning tribulation, Cheng Yue, as the sect leader, was bound to come over. However, upon arriving at the foot of the mountain, he discovered that a protective array had been activated. Even more surprisingly, one needed to enter their name to enter.
Cheng Yue wrote his name down, and then a spiritual energy panel appeared in front of him, aligning with his face. The mountain-protecting formation opened a small path, allowing him to enter.
The first thing Qingya did after leaving was to go find Lengling. When she returned to the cave, she found that Lengling was so thin that she was just skin and bones, and was even eating raw bamboo shoots. She looked as pathetic as could be. When she saw Qingya eating that, she burst into tears.
It was as if it were saying, "Master, you're finally back."
"Leng Ling, what happened to you? Did Mo Yan do something to you?"
Leng Ling didn't say anything and kept crying. In Qing Ya's mind, it must be that Mo Yan did something.
He touched his fingers and realized his storage ring was gone. Yes, it was given to him by Mo Yan. Back then, to save resources for the sect, he never went to his master for anything; he gave his to his junior brothers and sisters. Now…
He quickly gave Leng Ling some spiritual power, and during this time his spiritual power recovered considerably.
Leng Ling had finally recovered considerably and was able to speak again. She hugged Qing Ya tightly and burst into tears. "Master, Master, I almost didn't see you again." She held Qing Ya's waist tightly, crying her heart out.
Qingya was taken aback, and an indescribable feeling spread through his heart. He had never been so intimate with Moyan before. Because he was not used to it, the two of them always treated each other with respect, and at least they would not do such intimate things in broad daylight.
The way she hugged herself and relied on her completely suddenly made Qingya feel a greater sense of responsibility.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of you. Don't worry, don't cry. I'll go find Mo Yan right now and ask her to give you some pills so you can start cultivating again."
Qingya made up her mind that she must get Moyan to give her the Golden Core so that Lengling could cultivate quickly. Once she reached the Golden Core stage, she would be able to protect herself.
"But Master's wife is probably still angry. Master, I don't want you to argue with her because of me. You two are husband and wife, the ones who will spend your lives together. I'm just a stupid girl who doesn't know anything and always causes you trouble."
Leng Ling stepped back after saying this, then looked up at Qing Ya with teary eyes. Her eyes held a multitude of emotions: fear, confusion, sadness, heartbreak, and finally, worry.
“I don’t want my master to be sad because of me. If one day I become a stumbling block on my master’s road to happiness, then please push me away without hesitation. Give up on me, your disciple who can’t do anything for you.”
She slowly lowered her head, a bitter smile on her lips, tears sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto Qingya's hand, so hot, as if burning into his heart.
“I don’t want to be a stepping stone on Master’s road to happiness, I don’t want to be a burden to Master, so Master…” She raised her head and revealed a poignant smile, as if it were a final farewell, “Please give up on me, okay?”
"No!" At this moment, all of Qingya's protective instincts were aroused. He hugged Leng Ling tightly. "I won't abandon you."
Suddenly, Qingya felt a dull pain in his heart and spat out a mouthful of blood. He quickly pushed Leng Ling away.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Qingya immediately began to regulate her breathing. How could he be like this?
Cheng Yue also arrived in front of Mo Yan at this moment, "Niece Mo Yan, how could you allow so many people to reach the Golden Core stage at the same time?"
Breakthroughs are easy, but achieving the elixir is not. How did Mo Yan manage to do it?
"As my senior master knows, I don't know anything except alchemy. Recently, I casually tried alchemy and suddenly discovered that I could remove the poison from the pills."
If they didn't have erysipelas, I would just let them eat it like candy. In the end, I would have them do farm work to strengthen their bodies, and that's how they broke through.
My father left behind quite a lot of things, including various swords. I had them choose one and fuse it together to create their own sword embryos. They succeeded, which is why their cultivation levels increased so quickly, and they broke through to the next level.
Mo Yan made it sound so easy, but Cheng Yue could only feel envious, because he didn't have that many swords, cultivation techniques, or even a golden core. And certainly not a golden core with the poison of pills.
“Niece Mo Yan, you don’t have any blood poisoning, you…” If you really don’t have any, then can people from other mountains also have some?
"Sure, as long as they bring the materials, plus a little labor fee, I can certainly help with the processing. Just add one more layer to the sect's labor fee."
The difference between a Golden Core with and without Dan Toxin is truly enormous. With Dan Toxin, you have to remove it every now and then, otherwise it will affect your cultivation. But without Dan Toxin, what's there to be afraid of? You can just keep taking it. The fee that Mo Yan mentioned is really not high at all.
Cheng Yue understood this principle; not only was it not a high position, it was also helping the sect. "Okay, no problem, I'll have them bring you the materials tomorrow."
“Master, let’s do big orders directly, that is, all the mountains together. Otherwise, it’s too complicated to do things piecemeal. My apprentices don’t know how to do it yet, so I do it all myself. I’m a bit tired.”
Some things need to be said upfront. There's no order without rules, so it's good to be upfront about the unpleasant aspects.
"Uncle-Master knows, there's something I want to ask my niece." Cheng Yue's expression changed, and she suddenly remembered the sign she had seen downstairs: "No elegant women or dogs allowed..."
"What brand?" Mo Yan looked puzzled, seemingly not quite understanding what he meant.
Cheng Yue thought that Mo Yan probably didn't know, "No, it's okay, go ask Lao Mu."
"Alright, Master Uncle, I'll head to the alchemy room now."
Mo Yan went straight to the alchemy room, sat down to eat, and watched her five disciples play with the alchemy furnace.
"Master, are you really going to let us try? These medicinal herbs are all extremely precious."
Other masters wouldn't want to waste their time like that. They asked around and found out that someone else's master made them cut herbs every day but didn't let them practice.
"Just play if I tell you to. How will you learn if I don't try? Who will give you candy when I'm not around?"
Mo Yan started gnawing on the chicken leg. It tasted really good, so delicious.
"Thank you, Master." They weren't sure if it was alright.
They were ready to begin, but a little panicked, in case they failed.
"Hurry up!"
"What if it fails?"
Mo Yan was speechless upon hearing this. "Isn't failure normal? Do you think you're like me? That you can succeed every time? Alchemy is about finding success through repeated failures. Hurry up, what are you afraid of with a fasting pill? It's not for you to eat. It's for other people. Whether it tastes good or not doesn't matter, as long as it's effective."
Several people's eyes lit up. Master was right!
