Abode of Poison Spring

  Found that small stream, Mo Tian Ge was finally able to distinguish his position on the map. Afterwards, in order to deliberately avoid others, he carefully studied a route. Fortunately, the materials mentioned which places roughly had what, and these maps were basically one per person, finding a place that everyone didn't like, naturally could avoid most people. If someone was unlucky enough to coincidentally pass through that place, they would probably leave too.

  The place she was looking for was a treacherous mountain and evil water that ordinary people would find daunting, with cliffs and deep gorges, and to make matters worse, there was also a poisonous spring that emitted toxic fumes all year round. The map marked this location as being in a bad position, not only difficult to traverse but also lacking any easily killable demonic beasts; instead, there were some groups of demonic monkeys that were quite troublesome.

  The Mo Tian Song thought about it, not easy to walk, be careful and walk is just fine, but not ordinary people, won't have any accidents. As for those group-living demon monkeys, they are suitable for themselves. She is good at array methods, first-class demon beasts can't recognize array methods, find a suitable place to set up the Mi Zong Array, lead the monkey group in, and don't worry about how many there are.

  Having made up her mind, she walked smoothly along the way. Although her technique of hiding her breath was not particularly brilliant, the divine consciousness of the Qi-refining cultivators was also not strong, and very few people could detect her.

  They soon arrived at the place indicated on the map, and Mo Tian Ge took a look around, frowning unconsciously. This place was indeed as unpleasant as the data had said, probably due to the poisonous spring, which emitted toxic fog as soon as one approached, with dense shrubs that didn't even have a path, and most of them were poisonous. Although it was broad daylight, this place was gloomy and dark, and the sky couldn't be seen at all.

  There was no better choice, and the only thing to do was to grit his teeth and get through it. His divine sense scanned over this area, giving him a general understanding of the terrain, and also found the location of that group of demon monkeys.

  Right next to the poisonous spring, there were many strands of weak spiritual energy fluctuating. The spiritual awareness of Qi-refining cultivators was not strong, and it was difficult to sense the fluctuations of a single low-grade demon beast's spiritual energy, but when they gathered together, it was easy to distinguish.

  Swallow an Ice Clear Pill to prevent the poisonous fog from affecting yourself, then set up a simple Concealment Array and Soul Locking Array in a nearby location.

  The Maze Array lives up to its name, and the main function of the array is to make people lose their way. Once inside the array, one will keep circling around and can't get out, much like what ordinary people call "ghost hitting the wall". The Soul Locking Array is specifically designed for people or animals with spiritual energy, and once inside the array, the flow of spiritual energy will slow down. This type of array is usually set up in a cultivator's cave, to prevent others from breaking into the cave.

  These two arrays are not enough, after some thought, she laid down a five-element life-killing array, this array is more troublesome than the previous two, but recently she studied that book of arrays and modified it, making it both offensive and defensive, using it as insurance.

  After doing all this, Mo Tian Ge adjusted his spiritual energy to its best state in the formation and intentionally released his aura towards that group of demon tribes.

  First-order demonic beasts are not much smarter than ordinary wild beasts, and they don't think, acting solely on instinct. Soon, their silhouettes appeared in the poisonous fog.

  A rustling sound came, and Mo Tian Ge saw clearly that these monsters were actually a group of monkeys.

  Suddenly, a provocative aura appeared. These demon monkeys rushed to the place where Mo Tian Ge was without hesitation, but before they could get close, they circled around and formed a circle, chasing each other in a circle. It looked like fun, but Mo Tian Ge didn't dare to be careless. With a wave of his hand, the formation flags were raised, and suddenly sandstorms and large fires erupted. The monkey group "squeaked" wildly, running left and right, but no matter how they ran, they couldn't escape. They were burned by the fire, and in their panic, they trampled each other. Mo Tian Ge saw this and waved his formation flags again, and suddenly many rocks fell from the formation. The monkey group had nowhere to hide, and they all died under the chaotic rocks.

  When all the demon monkeys were killed, Mo Tian Ge let out a sigh of relief. So many first-class demon beasts, if not for setting up traps in advance, it was impossible for a Qi-refining cultivator to deal with them. Although she had smoothly exterminated them, she still spent a lot of spiritual energy. The ability of a Qi-refining cultivator was really too low, unable to use multiple spirit artifacts at the same time, nor could they maintain a long battle, and even without the restriction of cultivation, the magic treasure couldn't exert much power. The more she cultivated, the more urgent her desire to build her foundation became.

  She regained her composure, and Mo Tian Ge stood up to clean up the mess. There were at least twenty or thirty monkeys just now, and it seemed that there would be a fierce battle in this mountain forest. The number of demonic beasts everyone hunted wouldn't be many, but these demonic beasts were enough to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill. Therefore, she stuffed the monkey corpses into her Qian Kun bag, sat cross-legged in the array, and didn't plan on killing any more demonic beasts. Her goal was only the Foundation Establishment Pill; she didn't want to risk her life or make a big show of herself.

  Just as she was leisurely sitting there, this mountain forest had already stirred up a massive storm.

  At first, the disciple of the Purple Mist Sect was killed without being discovered. However, not only one or two people had this thought, and soon others took action. The disciples of the Purple Mist Sect were numerous and powerful, and they also felt that these two factions were being destroyed, so they refused to give up. By afternoon, the struggle had already been brought to the surface.

  Yunwu Sect and Jindao Gate disciples, although their total number is not as many as the Zixia Sect, are harboring hatred and generally use sneak attacks, achieving some success. However, later on, when the Zixia Sect disciples react, both sides start to have wins and losses. As more people die, they no longer care about anything, and as soon as they see each other, they start fighting.

  These wild songs don't know anything about it. Fortunately she arrived at this place, otherwise she might have been drawn into the struggle as well.

  The sky gradually darkened, and Mo Tian Ge did nothing, still sitting cross-legged in the array. The lamp couldn't be lit, otherwise it would attract others, even if no one came, some kind of monster might come, and it wouldn't be good to fight at night. Anyway, he could see a little bit, just endure this night, and tomorrow the exit array method would open.

  Suddenly, she frowned and raised her head.

  There seems to be a strange energy outside, as if someone is approaching.

  After some thought, she slightly adjusted the formation under the cloth, leaving only the Five Elements Life and Death Formation, and then hid her figure, carefully paying attention to that person.

  That man ran stumbling, his footsteps light and floating, occasionally tripping and falling, but he still managed to run all the way here. It was as if he suddenly bumped into something, making a "thud" sound, and then there was no more noise.

  After a long time, she still couldn't hear any sound. Mo Tian Ge Si thought for a moment before carefully emerging from her hiding spot, cautiously making her way over. She was being extremely careful now that she had defensive magic on her body and the Qing Mu sword at hand, so even if this person were to suddenly attack, she could handle it, which is why she decided to go take a look.

  Not far away, a person fell to the ground, motionless. The sky was too dark, and it couldn't be seen clearly, only vaguely seeing that he was wearing a green robe.

  Mo Tian Ge slightly relaxed his mind and took a look, indeed it was a young disciple of the Yun Wu Sect.

  "Big brother, big brother!" She gently pushed him.

  After a while, he finally reacted, barely lifting his head and saying in a low voice: "Sister... save me."

  Moyan Song was stunned for a moment. Shifu's sister? Before he could think of anything else, the person fainted again.

  After some thought, she still helped him into the formation under the cloth.

  She didn't know this person, there were so many Cloud and Mist Sect disciples who practiced internal energy, she was familiar with only a few of them, even the people in other rooms in the yard were just acquaintances, let alone this person whom she couldn't remember at all.

  However, since they are both disciples of the Cloud and Mist Sect. And there's no trouble, it's okay to lend a hand. She then input her spiritual energy into his body to check his injuries.

  The spiritual energy ran a circle through the man's meridians, and Mo Tian Ge slightly relaxed. His injuries were severe, but they hadn't affected his meridians, which was fortunate.

  She thought for a moment, then took out the Dan Yao from her bosom and first fed him an Ice Clearing Pill to prevent the poisonous fog from entering his body, and then fed him a Qi Nourishing Pill.

  Bing Qing Wan is just an ordinary antidote, not some precious medicine. As for the healing pellets, she did have some Xiao Huan Dan on her, but they were quite valuable and even foundation-building cultivators could use them. Giving one to a stranger who was only at the Qi Refining stage would be somewhat extravagant, let alone that she didn't know this person at all. Taking out precious items for someone she didn't know was being too kind-hearted. Kindness should be done in moderation, so as not to arouse greedy thoughts, this was one of Er Shu's teachings.

  Not long after, the man let out a groan, seemingly waking up.

  "Is this senior brother doing better?" asked Mo Tian Ge.

  The man opened his eyes, struggled to sit up, and forced a smile: "This... junior brother, thank you. If I hadn't met you, my life would have been forfeited today."

  "Meng Tian Ge said lightly: 'No need to be polite, brother, it's just a small effort.'"

  He nodded and took out a jade bottle from his bosom, swallowed several dan pills, and handed the jade bottle over: "I dare not let my younger brother's door suffer losses."

  Mo Tian Ge didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it. This was also the rule of the cultivation world, firstly no one wanted to help others but lose their wealth, secondly those who received kindness from others didn't want to owe them a favor either.

  As soon as he took over, the man asked: "Brother, what is this place? Is it safe?"

  "This is the poisonous spring of the northwest."

  "This person must also understand, and suddenly let out a breath of relief: 'So it's good, I suppose no one will come.' After a pause, he greeted her again, 'I am Murong Zi, may I ask how to address you, fellow disciple?'"

  He said "I am" instead of "My name is", obviously a well-known figure among the Qi refining disciples, and this name Mochen Ge was indeed familiar. Murong Zi, was one of the two years ago misty valley trial training with Zhou Shixiong and others to persist until the end of the disciples, but also Murong Yan's cousin, together with her under Lin Qingwen door, is the master brother in Murong Yan mouth guarding the garden providing seeds. This master brother, indeed also among the Qi refining disciples have a reputation.

  As he was also friends with Murong Yan, Mo Tian Ge showed some courtesy: "So it's Master Murong, my name is Ye Xiao Tian, and I'm an old acquaintance of Master Murong's sister."

  Murong Zi lightly exclaimed, "Ah", and said: "So it's you, I've heard Xiaoyan mention you before." He looked her up and down, a smile emerging on his face, "No wonder I thought you were a junior sister just now."

  The song of the wild sky was originally suspicious, and at this time he naturally asked: "Why is this?"

  Murong Zi smiled and said: "Because Xiao Yan said that it's a pity you're a man, your figure and appearance are more suitable for being a woman."

  Moyuan Ge was suddenly speechless. Apart from Xu Jing, Murong Yan also liked to tease her, saying that she was so thin and small, with a face that looked like a boy's, if only she were a girl... Thinking of Murong Yan, she couldn't help but sigh, for the smiling and playful Murong Yan was already gone.

  Murong Zi saw that she was not in the right mood and thought she didn't like others saying she looked like a boy, so he changed the subject: "Ye Shidi, since you're here, have you met anyone from the Purple Mist Sect?"

  Mo Tian Ge shook his head: "Nothing." Looking at Mu Rong Zi's expression, it seemed like something was wrong, so he asked in return, "Did Master Mu Rong encounter something?"

  This question made Mu Rong sigh and then said: "Ye Shidi has been here all along, I suppose you don't know that the three factions' disciples have already started fighting."

  "This matter was actually foreseen by Tian Ge, but she didn't say it out loud and just pretended to be unaware: 'Huh? What's going on?'"

  "I don't even know how it started, I was just fighting with the Si clan before, but then it turned into a chaotic battle. We've joined forces with the Golden Blade Sect and are now facing off against the Purple Mist Sect. I didn't want to get involved, but every time we encounter someone from the Purple Mist Sect, they take the initiative to attack us, so I had no choice but to defend myself. Just now, I was in the middle of killing a demon wolf when I was ambushed and barely managed to escape."

  He looked worried as he spoke, "Now that things are so chaotic, I have no idea how Xiaoyan is doing. She's always been lazy about practicing her martial arts...".

  Listening to him say this, Mo Tian Ge also became somewhat worried. There were also several people in the same room, Liu Yi Dao and Qin Xi although they both had rich experience in fighting, but two fists can't defeat four hands, Xu Jing Zhi's cultivation was just average, although he was a member of a cultivator family, there would always be some treasured items, but if they encountered strong enemies it wouldn't be good to say. Mu Rong Yan was the most worrying, she had never liked cultivating before, her cultivation could reach that high all because of the elixirs she ate, her own abilities were really not great.

  The two of them stood silently facing each other for a while, then Murong Zi forced out a smile: "Ye Shidi, I'm taking advantage of you this time, let me stay here too, it's really not good to be injured at the moment..."

  Mo Tian Ge nodded: "This isn't mine either, anyone can come, no need for courtesy, Master Muyong."

  Murong Zi smiled and began to meditate to heal his wounds. This place is so dangerous, it's better to recover your spiritual energy as soon as possible.
