Chapter 47: Bird Eggs

In front of the gorge, Mo Juren walked slowly towards Tiegulu step by step.

This move is Mo Juren's alternative use of the Sky Eye Technique. Through unscrupulous staring, he creates a intimidating aura to enemies of lower realms.

In the field of vision of the Sky Eye Technique, there was no spiritual fluctuation around Tiegulu, and he was indeed a mortal warrior.

Mo Juren approached slowly, and the pressure increased layer by layer. When Tiegulu was about to be completely crushed, he suddenly restrained his momentum.

Tiegulu seemed to have walked through the gates of hell. He took a few deep breaths and forced himself to say something harsh.
"You... don't be so proud. I will report this matter to Madam Xiang one by one."

After saying that, he turned around and ran away quickly.

Looking at the man's fleeing back, Mo Juren glanced at him from the corner of his eye and questioned Jin Guang,

"Who is this Madam Xiang?"

Jin Guang lowered his head quickly and began to explain consciously.

It turns out that Madam Xiang is also a cultivator. She manages all the business of Maoxiang Valley on the surface, but in fact the real controller here is Master Hei Jue, and Madam Xiang is said to be just his concubine.

This Master Hei Jue is a well-known independent cultivator in the vicinity. He has been famous for many years. It is rumored that he has the strength of at least the late stage of Qi Refining. However, he rarely shows up in public for many years. He only suppresses evildoers in secret and maintains the order of Maoxiang Valley.

Mo Juren was puzzled.

"Since they are immortal cultivators, what is the point of them taking the trouble to do business in this barren land and earning gold and silver from mortals?"

"Mr. Tie, you don't know that this Maoxiang Valley not only deals in gold and silver for mortals, but also deals in spiritual stones for cultivators. After entering the valley, I will introduce them to them on behalf of Mr. Tie, and you will naturally be able to come into contact with the cultivators of Maoxiang Valley."

Master Jin Guang said again,

"They earn this gold and silver, on the one hand, to support a large number of subordinates, and on the other hand, to exchange it for medicinal materials from mortals and collect things for cultivation."

Mo Juren fell into deep thought and felt that he couldn't just rashly follow the golden light into the Thatch Fragrance Valley.

After all, he had a lot of precious medicines hidden on his body. If he was plotted against by someone with ulterior motives, losing the precious medicines would be a small matter. But if someone followed the clues and stole the magical porcelain pieces on his body, he would suffer a huge loss.

Then the two of them entered Yuzuiao, and after passing through the dangerous river valley along the river gorge, a vast mountain basin appeared in front of them.

As far as the eye can see, there is a small city built in the center of the basin, which is out of place with the mountains. That is Maoxiang Valley.

The buildings in this city have flying eaves and brackets, and the walls have carved beams and painted rafters. Every detail of this city looks exquisite and gorgeous, as if a palace had flown into this remote mountain area out of thin air.

Mo Juren looked at the terrain and found that there were paths leading to the city in four directions, so he asked Jin Guang to go outside the city first and wait, while he and Yun Chi Niao followed behind. After Jin Guang walked away, he found another direction to leave.

Afterwards, Mo Juren found a secluded cave on a nearby mountain and temporarily placed his luggage there. Otherwise, if he carried this large box, he would be too conspicuous and it would be difficult to escape if something happened.

Mo Juren thought about it and only brought a few things that might be useful.

Then he searched out all the gold and silver in his luggage and put them in a package, which contained nearly three hundred taels of gold and five or six hundred taels of silver.

Calculated at sixteen taels per catty, the total weight would be as much as fifty or sixty catties. But fortunately, this weight would not affect the journey.

Apart from this, all other luggage was hidden in the cave.

Then, Mo Juren lurked outside the cave for a while, and after finding nothing unusual, he left with the cloud-winged bird.

On the way, he remembered something, so he fed him a yellow chestnut pill first, and then told the cloud-winged bird,
"Little yellow-haired boy, can you help me find some eggs? I want eggs laid by beautiful-looking birds or animals." The cloud-winged bird tilted its head and thought for a while, then flew up from Mo Juren's hand, flapping its wings in the air, as if it had a plan in mind.

Mo Juren smiled and said,
"Then go ahead. Don't take anything too big. Go quickly and come back quickly. Be careful and don't get caught."

The cloud-winged bird flew into the air, identified the direction, and then shot out like an arrow.

Mo Juren himself slowed down and walked towards the Thatch Fragrance Valley, waiting for the Cloud-Winged Bird to return as he walked.

Not long after, the cloud-winged bird really caught up with them. In each of its two little claws, it held a small egg that was white with a hint of purple. It excitedly began to show off its achievements to Mo Juren.

The two small eggs he brought back were only the size of a thumb, with snow-white and slightly translucent shells. When held up to the light, one could clearly see that the eggs were half-hatched inside, with the embryo showing a light purple color, which was quite impressive.

Mo Juren took out the yellow chestnut pill, praised it a lot, and then let the cloud-winged bird fly high in the sky and wait for his call to come down.

With these two bird eggs, it would be reasonable to use them as an excuse for Mrs. Xiang's birthday, so he put them away with great satisfaction.

After completing these preparations, Mo Juren picked up the package, used the Wind Control Technique, and went in a detour to meet Jin Guang.

Not long after Mo Juren left, two large birds about a foot tall suddenly flew over from the distance. They had shiny purple and black feathers, black beaks and golden claws, and were extremely sharp.

The two birds circled for a long time where Mo Juren collected the eggs, and then they seemed to have lost their way and had to turn back and leave.

When it was about to leave, the leading bird seemed to vent its anger and spurted a stream of cold water from its beak, hitting an old tree nearby.

The whole tree seemed to be frozen rapidly by frost, and suddenly solidified in the wind. Later, all the leaves began to fall one after another. After a loud rustling sound, the leaves fell all over the ground, leaving only the dry and blackened trunks left in the wind.

…………

Jin Guang waited in front of the small town gate of Maoxiang Valley for half a day, and finally saw Mo Juren appear.

Seeing that the wooden box on Mo Juren's body was missing, he tactfully did not ask any more questions. Instead, he took the bag from Mo Juren and led him into the city.

Along the way, there were people coming and going. There were quite a lot of people in the city, and it was very lively.

Jin Guang, carrying two packages, was still very "prominent", and people kept greeting him.

"Master Jin Guang."

"I have met Master Jin Guang."

"Master Jin Guang, why did you come just now? I missed you so much."

Jin Guang, this kid, smiled and nodded in response to everyone who greeted him, and seemed to be enjoying the vanity of "My reputation is well-known, and everyone in the world knows me, Jin Guang".

Mo Juren followed the golden light into the city of Maoxiang Valley and found that it was more like a larger town with an outer wall. The city was roughly divided into nine areas in the shape of a tic-tac-toe.

On the outskirts are a large number of residential houses, inns and shops, with all kinds of people coming in and out.

The area in the middle occupies the largest area and is also the most bustling place, with four tall buildings and courtyards.
