Although he said so, there wasn't much worry in his tone. Mo Zi Chen thought for a moment and understood that it wasn't that he didn't care, but rather that they were all working together as brothers of the same master, doing their best, and weren't overly concerned with the outcome.

  At this moment, she suddenly felt a bit of affection for the sect that she had unintentionally joined. If she could stand shoulder to shoulder with such a group of people, it seemed like it wouldn't be a bad thing either.

  "Qin Shixiong went to find the three classics, not just for the sake of fame and fortune. On one hand, our sect's accumulated wealth is not only in Xingzhou, but also in other places that even Dashi Jie doesn't know about. They are all recorded in the Dan Jing. The Fa Jing also contains secret techniques that we have not yet mastered. But most importantly, it's that golden token symbolizing the master's seal. Without this token, we cannot truly open the Xingzhou cave heaven, where our ancestors' accumulated spiritual medicine and artifacts are sealed within. If we can't get the token, then we'll have to wait until Qin Shixiong cultivates his Yuanying and fully inherits Master's divine soul imprint before he can forcefully open it with his Fa Li. That would be a huge delay."

  Mo Zi Chen stuck out her tongue, "This is really too important. No wonder that Qin Shixiong of yours didn't mind risking everything to take such a great risk. However, the three rules of the sect leader should be carried by your master, even if they were lost, they must have been lost in Trap Empty Mountain. You said it was in the extreme north, why would he go south to find it?"

  "Xu Er Dao said: 'The Trapping Void Mountain was never a place to stay, it's like floating clouds returning to the sea. It's originally difficult to last long, usually after staying for a few days, it will suddenly disappear, and the next time it appears, it will often be thousands of miles away. Shifu's divination method is her innate secret transmission, nine out of ten times, it won't go wrong.'"

  Mo Zi Chen said "oh" and her clever mind had already grasped the unspoken meaning of Ju Er: "So my appearance makes you feel strange, right?"

  Ju Er nodded and said, "Actually, not long before you came, some new people also came to pay their respects to the mountain. However, after entering the mountain, they revealed their cultivation and were found out to be spies from the Tian Yan Sect, trying to gather information about our sect's strengths and weaknesses. They were caught by Wang Shixiong, had their cultivation destroyed, and were kicked out of the mountain. During that time, Guan Lan was also injured."

  "So, they think I'm an undercover agent too, and are afraid that I've infiltrated to cause trouble, so they're always on guard against me, right?"

  "Uh, Guanyun has told me that before, don't be angry. It's normal for them to think this way, and Shizhi didn't guard against you, just treating you as an ordinary nominal disciple. Don't hold a grudge against them, okay?"

  His words seemed a bit clumsy, wanting to say some excuses, but always couldn't get to the point. Mo Zi Chen smiled, "Aren't you afraid that I'm actually an undercover agent? You've told me so many secrets of your sect, aren't you worried that I'll run away and reveal them, harming you instead?"

  Ju Er shook his head and said seriously, "There are some things that really can't be said, I didn't say them. Generally, disciples can know what I've told you. And I think, with eyes like yours, you definitely won't deceive people."

  Mo Zi Chen blinked, she thought she wasn't a bad person, but also not someone with simple thoughts. She raised her head and looked at Ju Er in front of her, suddenly feeling that if you ignore his terrifying appearance, his eyes actually look very pure, at least in her years of experience, she had never seen anyone with such clear and pure eyes like this young man.

  She no longer smiled, solemnly stretched out her hand and grasped his pitch-black palm: "Don't worry, we're friends!"

  Ju Er opened his mouth and smiled, this was the first time Mo Zi Chen saw him smile. He fished out a bottle from beside him, "This, for you!"

  Mo Zi Chen took it over and shook it, hearing a rolling sound inside. Opening it up, she saw that it was a bottle of pills. "What's this?"

  "Here's a Qi Nourishing Pill, most suitable for someone like you who has just started. Lin Shijie should have given you some Spiritual Stones, right? Don't use those Spiritual Stones to cultivate directly, set up a Spirit Gathering Array first, then take the Qi Nourishing Pill, and it'll be twice as effective." He stood up, very excitedly saying: "In a few days, my Spirit Gathering Pill will also be done, suitable for someone cultivating at the 4th or 5th layer of Qi Refining. I'll save some for you."

  Mo Zi Chen didn't decline, and put it in his bosom. After thinking for a moment, he took out another thing and said: "I'll also give you a gift, this is what I got from my adventure on Ling Jing Mountain, I don't know what it is either, it's not gold or jade, but it should be useful for your alchemy."

  She took out a dark, hard object with some elasticity when pressed by hand, unlike gold or stone, but rather like wood that had been dried for a long time. Ju Er took it over, carefully smelled it and bit it with his teeth, happily saying: "This is called Yīn Huàn Yáng (Hidden Soul Poplar), a tree grown in the northern sea below, where the air is cold and bitter all year round, growing only one inch every hundred years. Yours should be a trunk cut down by someone, dried by the wind after being applied with secret oil, its spiritual energy not lost, making it an excellent half-finished material for refining instruments. Yīn Huàn Yáng is tough and has heavy yin energy, most suitable for women to use. I'll help you forge a spiritual instrument, which you can use as protection."

  Mo Zi Chen smiled and said: "Originally, I wanted to give it to you, why did you bring it back to me?" She patted Ju Er's shoulder, "Then I won't say thank you again!"

  The two of them talked for a long time, and when they looked at the time again, they had unknowingly passed a whole day. Mo Zi Chen said: "I won't disturb you from refining your elixir anymore, let's go back. When I have time, I'll come find you again."

  "Ji Er Dao said: 'This furnace pill is almost done, I want to close the door for a few days. When I come out, I will go find you again. This place has no entrance without me opening it, you can't get in.'"

  Mo Zi Chen nodded: "I live in the mountain where new disciples reside, and the third courtyard on top is it."

  Ju Er brought her to the entrance of the cave, and the two finally bid farewell. Mo Zi Chen walked quickly across the Jade Bridge, and when she reached the end, she turned back to look, but the large island that was originally there had already disappeared into the clouds and mist, without a trace. Thinking that she could make such a friend today, she felt very happy.

  Moreover, Ju Er's words also dispelled the doubts that had been lingering in her mind. Since entering Tai Hua Sect, she had always felt a bit of an outcast, but today, she suddenly felt that if she could really integrate into such a group, it wouldn't be a bad thing after all. And those people from Tian Yan Sect, just because they had seen Qin Chuan once, were so afraid of being discovered that they would rather kill her directly outside of Ying Zhou! Based on the principle that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", she also wanted to blend in well with Tai Hua Sect. Moreover, these people should be quite pleasant to get along with, right?
