Chapter 170 Golden Light Foundation Building Pill
After listening to this, Mo Juren didn't expect that this matter would be so tortuous. Not only was Master Jin Guang being fought over and murdered by various parties, but even the people in Maoxiang Valley also had great origins and it seemed very exciting.
But he was more concerned about whether this matter was directly related to his own Mohist Medicine Sect inheritance, so he asked in a false tone,
"It is rumored that you, the so-called 'remnants of the Five Poison Sect', are in control of a treasure trove left behind by the Five Poison Sect,"
"As long as the tokens of the five sects are gathered, the treasure house can be opened. Is this legend true or false?"
These rumors were heard from the discussions of passers-by, and they could be used to ask Madam Xiang, the real owner, for some information.
Mo Juren's question was also the point that the people in the immortal cultivation world were very interested in the remnants of the Five Poison Sect, so Madam Xiang answered without hiding anything.
"We in Maoxiang Valley belong to the remnant of the Gu Sect. We have indeed heard such legends among the previous generations of disciples."
"But the five sects of the Five Poison Sect, namely Medicine, Gu, Blood, Insect, and Evil, have mostly fallen apart now. It is impossible for them to come together again. How can we open the treasure house?"
"Even we, the Five Poison Sect members, no longer have any illusions about this matter."
Mo Juren thought to himself, this might not be the case, otherwise why would Diao Yuanzheng and others still be desperately pursuing the inheritance of the Mo family's medicine sect?
So he asked,
"Why do you think so? If you could really find the treasure house, why would you go to such lengths to frame that Master Jin Guang just for a spiritual vein?"
Mrs. Xiang had no choice but to answer patiently,
"The so-called five sects' tokens, the Medicine Sect alone has lost its inheritance for nearly a hundred years; the Gu Sect was divided into three, and it is impossible to cultivate a Gu Queen who can inherit the bloodline;"
"The inheritance of the Blood Sect and the Evil Sect all rests with Master Black Zetsu, but he has already turned into a mindless corpse. The heir of the Insect Sect has been in seclusion for many years and is impossible to find,"
"This is the current situation of the remaining disciples of the Five Poison Sect. We have long since given up on the dream of recreating the Five Poison Sect."
At this point, Madam Xiang said with a bleak face,
"I originally thought that there was a group of fellow disciples in Maoxiang Valley who had followed me for many years, and I just wanted to help them find a stable place to settle down and preserve this branch of heritage."
"I didn't expect that others would not take this seriously at all. They would defect and leave at the first sign of trouble, leaving me alone."
"Hahahaha, I never thought that I, Ma Yi, would have this day. I have worked diligently and toiled all these years. What was it all for? Hahahaha..."
After years of pursuit, Madam Xiang finally came to nothing. She felt more and more frustrated, and finally she had a mental breakdown.
Mo Juren's heart moved. This Ma Yi knew a lot, and now she was alone and helpless. If he could really help her escape successfully, he might be able to use her for his own benefit in the future.
It's okay to take some risks for this matter. At worst, when things become unavoidable, you can just escape by yourself.
So he said to Madam Xiang,
"Now that it has come to this, don't you want to hold on a little longer? If you don't want to join the Spirit Beast Mountain like Baturu and the others, then don't waste Master Black Zetsu's help in leading those people away for you."
After hearing this, Madam Xiang slowly calmed down and after thinking for a while, she said to Mo Juren,
"Black Zetsu has a secret technique. Once it is used, it will definitely delay them for some time. I will find a way to leave later and will not drag you down."
Mo Juren took the risk of bringing Madam Xiang back to the market town, so he would certainly not let her leave without gaining anything.
If he could get her, who knew the inside story of the Five Poison Sect, to his side, it would naturally be of great help to him in the future when he acquired the inheritance of the Medicine Sect or dealt with Diao Yuanzheng and others.
He said to Madam Xiang,
"It's not a problem to leave temporarily, but have you ever thought about what to do in the future?"
Madam Xiang fell into deep thought again when she heard this. Just as she was about to answer, Mo Juren suddenly said,
"Shut up, someone entered the next room!" The two of them quickly held their breath and lay in wait quietly.
When Madam Xiang saw that Mo Juren could use the same Qi-gathering technique as she did, she suddenly seemed to remember something and her eyes lit up.
Mo Juren nodded and smiled at her, indicating that she was not wrong. He was the "Zhang Tie" who had asked her for the Qi-retaining Technique and the Beauty-nourishing Powder at that time.
When Mrs. Xiang suddenly learned about this, she didn't say anything, but her eyes flickered and no one knew what she was thinking.
As expected, a group of people in the inn entered the next room from the corridor and began searching inside.
Mo Juren and Madam Xiang seemed to have a telepathic connection. They both leaned against the wall and listened quietly to the noise coming from the next room.
After hearing the noise of tables and chairs next door, someone asked,
"Jin Guang, did you live in this room before?"
The Master Jin Guang replied in a broken voice,
"It is here. The four people from Maoxiang Valley plus me, the five of us stayed in this room for a total of five days, except for taking turns to go out."
"No one is here. They must have slipped away early in the morning. Hey, there is a piece of letter on the table. It seems to be left for Jin Guang. Let's take a look at what's written on it."
One of them grabbed the letter and read it aloud.
"Master Jin Guang, congratulations on your breakthrough to the fifth level of Qi Refining today. I also heard that you will enter the Yellow Maple Valley. This is a double blessing. You will surely be able to rise to great heights and achieve supreme cultivation in the future."
"Although Maoxiang Valley did have other intentions towards Fellow Daoist Jin Guang, Fellow Daoist Jin Guang must have had an unforgettable time in the valley. Let me leave a way for you today so that we can meet again someday. I, Mai Yi, bow my head."
Mo Juren glanced at Madam Xiang. This letter must have been left by her before she left. The tone of his letter was as sincere as possible. He hoped that Master Jin Guang would not pursue the matter further, but he didn't know whether it would have the desired effect.
After hearing the contents of the letter, Jin Guang's voice remained silent for a moment before he said,
"It's Madam Mao Xiangguxiang's handwriting. It should have been left before they left."
After saying that, he turned to another person and asked,
"Brother Ye, I wonder if Brother Guan will be able to succeed immediately in chasing after Black Zetsu and Madam Xiang? Should we wait for them to come back?"
The voice of the man called Senior Brother Ye said,
"Well, Jin Guang, don't worry. Guan is a serious foundation-building cultivator. If he can't even catch up with two mere Qi-refining cultivators, then he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill himself."
At this time, another voice that had been silent said,
"Everyone, wait a minute! Senior Brother Ye, I have something to say to you alone. Why don't you let the brothers go out first?"
"Hmm? No problem. You guys take Jin Guang out first."
After everyone left, Senior Brother Ye seemed to cast a spell at the door, and then asked,
"I've set up a small soundproofing array at the door, so they can't hear me. Tell me, Junior Brother Wei, what good ideas do you have?"
