Seeing Ye Zan recover his normal expression, Mo Rushi let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that this Taishang Great Uncle was pretty strong of heart.
As for Ye Zan’s question, Mo Rushi softly smiled, saying: “It is nothing extraordinary, having only been partially mastered. Such is crude for Junior. Once you have risen to the cultivation of Yuan Yin and still have the interest, I will naturally teach you.” His voice grew louder as his title for Ye Zan turned to the one they used for the public.
“Oh, then we’ve agreed upon it.” Ye Zan lightly responded.
Ye Zan was really just trying to find something to talk about. Yuan Yin’s cultivation was still too far for him to consider. After returning to Yu Qin, he would have to reach Foundation, then Jin Dan, and then countless other States before reaching Yuan Yin. Each State was a test. If it were easy to achieve Yuan Yin State, then Yuan Yin cultivators wouldn’t be given the honorary title of “Grandmaster”.
“Junior, is this a Buddhist magical treasure?” Mo Rushi lowered his head and saw Ye Zan’s microwave, immediately sparking his interest. He was not alone. All of the other Yu Qing students were also curious. However, due to his generational ranking, no one was brave enough to ask.
With Ye Zan’s cultivation, it was impossible for him to utilize a magical weapon. Thus, though he couldn’t detect any movement of spiritual energy within the device, Mo Rushi still assumed that this was a magical treasure. Furthermore, magical weapons didn’t have the power to dissipate so many ghosts in such a small amount of time. He had also assumed that this was because it was a Buddhist magical treasure. Everyone knew that Buddhist devices were best at dissipating dead souls.
Ye Zan remembered that it wasn’t good for him to disassemble the microwave and put it back in his dimension. He decided to just tell Mo Rushi: “It has nothing to do with Buddhist cultivation. The device’s history is hard to explain. Keep it safe for me.”
This was one of the benefits of his identity. Ye Zan didn’t need to speak further. He didn’t even need to make an excuse. Mo Rushi didn’t ask further, being left only to persuade himself with the excuse of it being related to Grandmaster Xuan Yuan.
Even the mystery of why Ye Zan was able to bring out the device but unable to put it back was automatically ignored by Mo Rushi as he took up the microwave with a wave of his hand.
At this time, there was a whistling sound in the air. The members of the Four Sects had arrived.
Although the Four Sects had left early, they hadn’t gone far as they had to look after their students. Receiving Mo Rushi’s paper cranes, they had received news of their students being killed and their fortresses being destroyed. The Jin Dan Masters of the Four Sect had promptly left their students and rushed back.
“Elder Mo.” Li Fugui bowed towards Mo Rushi in greeting.
“Uncle Mo.” Luo Miao and Wang Lianshan greeted Mo Rushi.
“Secular Master Hushan.” The Monk Hui Ming greeted him with his Taoist title.
This world, when one had reached Yuan Yin State, they would get their Taoist title. There were some that made their own, while others were granted one by their masters. A Taoist title was split into two parts: the first was free for one to pick themselves, while the latter was deemed the honorary title. This honorary title was a symbol of Cultivation. Only those of Yuan Yin state could be deemed Secular Master, while Yuan Shen were called Monarchs. Those who reached Fa Xiang or after could be deemed Taoist Lord, though Celestial Beings were usually honored as Grandmasters.
Like the Cultivator Gui Xiao’s name was actually his title. He was actually to be deemed Secular Master Gui Xiao. However, he was of Demonic Cultivation. There were few of Righteous Cultivation that were willing to grant him that honorary title.
Mo Rushi nodded, directing them to the area around them, saying: “I assume that everyone has witnessed this. Cultivator Gui Xiao attacked late in the night. Though I was able to arrive in time to fight him off, the students of your Four Sects had already been killed, unfortunately.”
“Uncle Mo, please forgive me for saying something disrespectful.” Luo Miao looked around him, showing a sorrowful expression, then bowing and saying: “We all know that Cultivator Gui Xiao has grievances with Uncle Mo. This attack was probably aimed at Yu Qing. It is unfortunate that the students of our Four Sects were caught in the midst and subjected to death. Please, Uncle Mo, have pity on these dead students.”
This message was a little brazen. Even Li Fugui and the Monk Gui Ming wrinkled their brow at this, silently cursing at him: Never has there been more of a shameless person!
Honestly speaking, the students sent here as defense were actually just pawns, despite their titles of managers. They were either students without much training potential, students that had made mistakes that didn’t warrant death, or those simply unfavored by the Sect. If they died, it would be a shame, as they were still of Foundation State. But, to speak of wasting much effort to avenge them? Such was questionable.
Luo Miao had his own calculations. In this martial competition between the Five Sects, Jin Guang Sect had not only lost a student but had also gained nothing from the excursion. Why was Yu Qing so lucky? Not only had they avoided Zhou Ming, thus preserving their assets; they had also seemed to gain more than all the years before. Those that died could not be brought back. Why couldn’t they utilize the last value they had. If they could gain something from Yu Qing, perhaps they could have a worthy explanation upon returning to the Sect.
“Oh, you think this as well,” Mo Rushi looked to Wang Lianshan of Wu Zhu, lightly speaking: “Then what about you? Do you think this way too?”
“This…” As Wang Lianshan urgently wanted to remain ties with Jin Guang Sect, he hesitated but still decided to stand with Luo Miao. Bowing, he said: “My apologies Uncle Mo. After all, it is hard for our Sects to train a student of Foundation State. It is hard for us to explain to our Sects if not given a valid reason for their death.”
“Hehe,” Mo Rushi laughed and turned to look at Li Fugui and the Monk Hui Ming.
However, Li Fugui was still harboring spite towards Wang Lianshan, and would obviously not choose to stand next to him. Thus, he stood there silently.
Hui Ming, on the other hand, began muttering an Amitabha, turning the Buddhist beads in his hands and uttered a Rebirthing Spell of the Buddhist cultivators. Guang Fa hadn’t lost much in this excursion. Although they hadn’t received as much as on the usual trip, they knew that Wu Zhu would have to give them an explanation sooner or later. Thus, they were not unwilling to let them save some face.
“Hehe,” Mo Rushi laughed again, turning to look at Wang Lianshan. After a moment of silence, he said: “I have actually forgotten to mention that Cultivator Gui Xiao used a magical treasure this time. It seemed to be the Nine Starred Black Bamboo.”
“What!” Hearing this news, Wang Lianshan froze.
It wasn’t just Wang Lianshan. The other three Jin Dan Masters were also startled. Wu Zhu’s most prized possession was notorious among the Five Sects; especially as it had been previously lost. After years of discussion, it had become something of a “legend”. But now, this “legend” of a magical treasure had actually reappeared.
“U, Uncle Mo, what did you say?” Wang Lianshan couldn’t believe his years, thinking that he had just been hearing an illusionary noise.
“Aye,” Mo Rushi sighed, shaking his head and speaking: “If it weren’t for the fact that Gui Xiao brought out the Nine Starred Black Bamboo, I definitely wouldn’t have let him escape this time. It is a pity. After all, the Bamboo is the most prized treasure of the Wu Zhu Sect. It truly is extraordinary.”
Hearing this, Wang Lianshan finally realized that he had not been wrong. Without a second word, he immediately mounted his flying sword and disappeared in the distance with a “zoom”.
