After the sect competition, Zuo Yunmo and some elders were in charge of receiving the remaining guests from various sects and families, while Luo Jianqing and Mo Qiu went to Lingyun Hall. Mo Qiu didn't want to come in, but Luo Jianqing whispered to him, "Since even my master can't detect it, then you can rest assured. The headmaster probably just wants to ask you something."
With great reluctance, Mo Qiu finally entered the Lingyun Palace.
In the Lingyun Hall, Venerable Hao Xingzi first praised Luo Jianqing and gave him many magical weapons, even a ground-level flying treasure ship. This generous gift was enough to show how happy Venerable Hao Xingzi was. But in the end, he asked, "Jianqing, there is one thing I don't understand. Why did you challenge Yan Su?"
It would be a good thing to defeat Yan Su and become famous immediately, but no one would say anything if he didn't challenge Yan Su.
Hearing this, Luo Jianqing bowed and said respectfully, "Master, this matter involves an agreement between me and my master."
As soon as these words fell, Venerable Hao Xingzi immediately said "Oh" out of curiosity, and Mo Qiu beside him also looked at Luo Jianqing in surprise. However, to his regret, Hao Xingzi did not ask, and Luo Jianqing did not say anything. No one knew what the so-called agreement was.
Next, Venerable Hao Xingzi finally set his sights on Mo Qiu. Instantly, the overwhelming pressure of a Mahayana-stage Venerable pressed down on him, like a mountain weighing a thousand pounds. Caught off guard, Mo Qiu groaned, his body sinking, his feet sinking half an inch into the floor.
Seeing this, Luo Jianqing said in horror: "Uncle Master, what are you doing...!"
Venerable Hao Xingzi suddenly withdrew his imposing aura and laughed heartily, "You truly are a once-in-a-millennium spiritual god body. My dear friend Mo, your mental strength is truly exceptional in all my life. Rumor has it that there's a special physique known as the spiritual god body. Those with this kind of physique are born with a powerful soul, far surpassing those of their peers, and their spiritual awareness is also quite sharp. I imagine this is why you were the first to sense Yan Su's demonic energy today."
Luo Jianqing was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Mo Qiu.
Only he, Mo Qiu, and Qingjun knew that Mo Qiu was a demon cultivator. Not even Xuan Lingzi had noticed. Previously, Luo Jianqing had assumed that demon cultivators were extremely sensitive to demonic energy, which was why this happened. But judging by Venerable Hao Xingzi's attitude, it seemed that there was no such explanation. Could it be that... Mo Qiu truly possessed a spiritual body?
The handsome and elegant monk in red robes said calmly, "I see."
Luo Jianqing: "..."
So calm?
Venerable Hao Xingzi hadn't expected Mo Qiu to be so calm. He didn't excitedly ask him what a spiritual body was, nor did he show any excitement or joy. However, Hao Xingzi thought about it and realized that Mo Qiu was born in the Mo family's lineage in the Frost Wasteland. He had experienced many hardships and was probably very mature and introverted.
Without giving it much thought, Hao Xingzi secretly regretted that Mo Qiu was a member of the Mo Clan. As long as the Mo Clan refused to relent, he wouldn't be able to take him into Taihua Mountain. Just based on Mo Qiu's previous performance on the fighting stage, which had truly astonished everyone, even if he wasn't at the late Nascent Soul stage, the Mo Clan wouldn't have let him go.
So Venerable Hao Xingzi directly gave Mo Qiu two earth-level magic weapons as a thank you for saving Luo Jianqing this time and to create a good relationship with him.
Luo Jianqing and Mo Qiu left Lingyun Hall together. Before they had taken two steps, four or five monks in brocade robes surrounded them. The white-haired old man in the lead looked at Mo Qiu with a sharp gaze. After a long scrutiny, he finally spoke: "I am the seventh ancestor of the Mo family. In terms of seniority, I am your great-great-great uncle."
This time, Mo Qiu was stuck.
The Mo family had previously ignored Mo Qiu, and when he delayed returning, they hadn't paid any attention. But things were different now. A Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivator and three Fusion Stage cultivators had trapped Mo Qiu, leaving Luo Jianqing with a helpless chuckle. After saying goodbye to Mo Qiu, he returned to Yuxiao Peak alone.
As he left, he could still hear Mo Qiu's angry shout: "Luo Jianqing! Are you still our friend?"
In response to this, Luo Jianqing's reaction was: speed up and leave quickly.
Hidden in the shadows of the green mountains, a streak of light swiftly streaked across the endless peaks, quickly arriving at Yuxiao Peak, the very center of Mount Taihua. With a gentle wave of his hand, the elegant, green-robed cultivator in the mountain-sealing formation, powerful enough to kill a Mahayana cultivator, opened a crack, allowing him to step through.
Luo Jianqing stepped onto the land of Yuxiao Peak and walked through the dense and verdant bamboo forest. At first, he walked slowly, but the further he walked, the faster he walked, and in the end, he could no longer hold back and flew forward.
However, when he reached the end of the bamboo forest and saw the white figure, Luo Jianqing suddenly froze.
Under the brilliant golden sunlight, bamboo leaves rustled, and a gentle breeze carried them. A figure in a white robe stood calmly and indifferently before the bamboo hut, hands clasped behind his back, his gaze fixed on the sky. Complex, pale golden patterns were delicately traced on the sleeves and hems of his robe. A gentle breeze caressed his face, causing his long black hair to sway slightly, creating a beautiful arc.
No matter how Luo Jianqing thought about it, he never thought that when he came back, he would see his master.
He had originally thought that the man would still keep him locked up in that bamboo house, and he didn't know when he would come out. He might even have to wait until he had diligently cultivated to the Spiritual Transformation Stage before he would be forced out, unable to escape those heavy rituals and rules.
But now, this person actually came out.
Luo Jianqing was completely bewildered at the moment, standing at the edge of the bamboo forest in a daze. Then, he felt a powerful suction pulling him in. In the blink of an eye, he was carried forward by that force, arriving in front of Xuan Lingzi.
