When Su Luo was repairing the chain, the spiritual energy in these crystals had been absorbed by her, and now only empty shells remained.
Holding this empty shell, Su Luo's smile widened.
Su Luo remembered that when she left, her master had given her a bottle of black potion and warned her not to use it unless absolutely necessary. This black potion was a toxin that eroded her mental strength, especially during critical moments of cultivation. Once her mental strength was eroded by the black potion, she could easily go astray.
In the Nine-Layered Palace, Su Luo had never had the chance to use this black potion because she was always protected by Nangong Liuyun, but now...
Su Luo's eyes flashed, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. "Old Ancestor of the Mo Family, this bottle of black potion is given to you for your enjoyment. Please don't hesitate."
Su Luo poured the black potion into the empty crystal, sealed the entrance after filling it up, and handed it to Jin Teng: "Return this crystal to where the purple crystal was just now."
Although the golden vine didn't understand Su Luo's thoughts, it resolutely carried out its master's orders. It rolled up the crystal stone and carefully moved closer to Old Man Mo. The closer it got to Old Man Mo, the more cautious its movements became.
Finally, the golden vine of the mutated acacia tree carefully put the crystal filled with black potion back to its original place, then rolled up another purple crystal and quietly retreated.
After doing this a few times, Jin Teng became braver and his movements became more skillful.
Soon, the six purple crystals in front of Old Man Mo were all replaced by black potions.
Su Luo was thoughtful. She had made the crystals look like purple crystals. At first glance, they looked very similar. Furthermore, the black potion, despite having the word "black" in its name, was a transparent, colorless liquid. Its color had nothing to do with black. The black color mainly referred to the black spots it formed after entering the human brain.
There is only one left...
Just as Jin Teng was about to repeat the same method to collect the last purple crystal, suddenly, the spiritual energy around Old Man Mo suddenly weakened.
Not good! Su Luo thought to herself. Without time to think, she immediately ordered Jin Teng to retreat quickly. Forget about the last purple crystal; saving their lives was the most important thing.
When the golden vine retracted into Su Luo's sleeve at lightning speed, the Mo family ancestor who was sitting cross-legged on the cushion reached out and picked up the last purple crystal stone close to him and began to repair the chain and devour it.
His eyes did not open, but remained tightly closed.
As the spiritual energy in the purple crystal gradually decreased, the spiritual energy in Old Man Mo's body gradually increased.
Su Luo huddled behind a stone pillar, slowing her heart rate and breathing to a minimum. She lay motionless, as if dead, like a hibernating cobra. Only in this way could she escape Old Man Mo's detection; otherwise, even a hundred Su Luos wouldn't be enough for him to kill.
Old Man Mo had reached the most critical moment of his training. One purple crystal was far from enough to meet his needs, so he closed his eyes and picked up the second crystal.
At this moment, Su Luo's heart suddenly rose to her throat.
She wanted to leave, but Old Man Mo was at his most perceptive at this moment. The spiritual energy he exuded permeated the surroundings, and any slight movement from Su Luo would be sensed. So Su Luo remained motionless, clinging to the wall, completely ignoring her presence.
Old Man Mo held the crystal in his right hand and drew the spiritual energy from it without thinking.
