Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 837 Exchange
After a long while, Mo Wuji said, "Listening to the words of the Talisman Master today has been very beneficial. Earlier, the Talisman Master mentioned having a method to obtain top-grade Dimensional Rending Talismans. I would like to ask for guidance."
Fu Xiuhan quickly said, "Has Dao Lord Mo seen Fu Feiyan's magic weapon?"
Mo Wuji nodded, "I have seen it. It is a talisman-shaped magic weapon."
To be honest, Mo Wuji had seen too many talismans, but a magic weapon that looked exactly like a talisman was something he was seeing for the first time.
Fu Xiuhan sighed, "Fu Feiyan's talisman magic weapon is actually crafted according to the shape of my Fu Clan's Sacred Dao Talisman. Back then, my Fu Clan offended a powerful figure and was exterminated. In the end, the clan's strong members, along with the few remaining members of the Fu Clan, activated the Fu Clan's protective treasure, the Sacred Dao Talisman. The Sacred Dao Talisman escaped into the void and eventually crossed many planes and realms to reach this place. The strong member of my Fu Clan, after activating the Sacred Dao Talisman, lost their life force.
Fortunately, there was a vast mountain range here. Because my Fu Clan's Sacred Dao Talisman could not be moved, my Fu Clan could only name this vast mountain range Thousand Talisman Mountain and settle here."
Mo Wuji asked in confusion, "This should be a secret matter of the Fu Clan. Why would the Talisman Master tell me this?"
Fu Xiuhan laughed self-deprecatingly, "This is indeed the most secret matter of the Fu Clan, but if the Fu Clan continues to guard this secret, it will soon be exterminated. My Fu Clan is secluded in Thousand Talisman Mountain, and the population is dwindling day by day. Even among cultivators above the Immortal Emperor realm, besides myself and Fu Feiyan, there is only one other person nearing the end of their lifespan. I believe that Dao Lord Mo is a trustworthy person, and besides, obtaining the Dimensional Rending Talisman will require the Sacred Dao Talisman, so I am telling you this."
Fu Xiuhan truly felt that Mo Wuji was not a petty person. More importantly, he was very clear that if the Fu Clan continued to stay in Thousand Talisman Mountain, there would be no future at all. Even if he didn't tell Mo Wuji, the Fu Clan would only wait for extinction. Now, Mo Wuji had given his Fu Clan a chance to survive in the Outer World Universe. If he didn't seize it, then his Fu Clan deserved to be exterminated.
"Talisman Master, please speak," Mo Wuji nodded, faintly understanding Fu Xiuhan's meaning.
Fu Xiuhan nodded and said seriously, "The Sacred Dao Talisman not only contains my Fu Clan's top-level talisman Dao, but also conceals countless top-grade talismans within it. Fu Feiyan stayed here to try to refine the Sacred Dao Talisman. Unfortunately, refining the Sacred Dao Talisman is not so simple. Over countless years, no one in my Fu Clan has been able to refine this Sacred Dao Talisman. I am telling Dao Lord Mo about the Sacred Dao Talisman today because our Fu Clan can no longer guard this Sacred Dao Talisman."
"Is the Talisman Master perhaps wanting me to enter the Sacred Dao Talisman to find the Dimensional Rending Talisman?" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully.
Fu Xiuhan said, "I know that Dao Friend Mo might think that I am making empty promises. In fact, it is indeed an empty promise."
Fu Xiuhan paused here before continuing, "Thousand Talisman Mountain is not a world at all, and the rules are almost non-existent. If we in the Fu Clan do not want to be exterminated, we must leave this place. If my Fu Clan leaves, we cannot take the Sacred Dao Talisman with us. Rather than leave it to others, it is better to leave it to Dao Lord Mo. If Dao Lord Mo can take away the Sacred Dao Talisman, then this Sacred Dao Talisman will belong to Dao Lord Mo.
I am also very clear that this Sacred Dao Talisman is very difficult to take away. But there are indeed Dimensional Rending Talismans inside the Sacred Dao Talisman. Entering the Sacred Dao Talisman to find the Dimensional Rending Talisman is a near-death experience. My Fu Clan has sent countless strong individuals inside, and they have indeed found many top-grade talismans, but no more than ten people have truly survived. Fu Feiyan is one of them. So, whether or not to enter the Sacred Dao Talisman is something Dao Lord Mo must consider for themselves."
Mo Wuji sighed inwardly, Fu Xiuhan was indeed making empty promises. The Fu Clan was about to leave this place, and they simply could not take the Sacred Dao Talisman with them. Even if he hadn't met Fu Xiuhan, as long as he saw the Sacred Dao Talisman, he could still see if he could refine it.
In any case, Fu Xiuhan was speaking frankly, which was at least straightforward. When interacting with people, Mo Wuji always tried to think about the other person's good points.
In any case, as the Talisman Master of the Fu Clan, which was equivalent to the clan leader, making such a decision was not simple.
Thinking of this, Mo Wuji said, "Regardless of the reason, the Talisman Master's ability to say such things is admirable. If the passage between my Immortal World's humans and the Outer World Universe is opened in the future, my Immortal World welcomes the Fu Clan to settle there. Regardless of whether I can refine the Sacred Dao Talisman or not, these two bottles of pills will be my gift to the Talisman Master in exchange."
As he spoke, Mo Wuji took out two bottles of pills and handed them to Fu Xiuhan.
Fu Xiuhan was somewhat puzzled. Although his Fu Clan was poor, it wasn't as if they couldn't afford two bottles of immortal pills. Even if they were ninth-grade immortal pills, they wouldn't be considered anything to his Fu Clan.
Despite this, Fu Xiuhan still politely accepted the jade bottles that Mo Wuji handed him. When his spiritual will penetrated into the jade bottles, his face immediately showed surprise, "This, these are actually two bottles of Emperor True Pills?"
Emperor True Pills were pills that allowed Immortal Venerate completion cultivators to sense the Immortal Emperor realm, second only to Emperor Dao Pills, and each one was priceless. For any race, they were top-grade strategic pills. His Fu Clan lacked resources, so they had never had a new Immortal Emperor emerge. Mo Wuji was contributing to the development of his Fu Clan.
In terms of value, the two bottles of Emperor True Pills that Mo Wuji gave him added up to only twelve pills. Compared to the Sacred Dao Talisman, they weren't even comparable to a corner of the Sacred Dao Talisman.
But from another perspective, these two bottles of Emperor True Pills were what the Fu Clan needed most. As for the Sacred Dao Talisman that Fu Xiuhan promised Mo Wuji, it was just a moon in the water or a flower in the fog, something that could only be looked at.
Over countless years, even the people of the Fu Clan had been unable to refine the Sacred Dao Talisman. For an outsider to come here and refine the Sacred Dao Talisman, that would be a joke.
Fu Xiuhan carefully put away the Emperor True Pills and bowed to Mo Wuji, "Dao Lord Mo, if you still want to go to the Sacred Dao Talisman to find the Dimensional Rending Talisman, I will take you there now."
Mo Wuji not only promised that his Fu Clan could settle in the Outer World Universe, but also promised that the Fu Clan could go to the Immortal World to settle. Not only that, but Mo Wuji also gave him two bottles of Emperor True Pills. He, Fu Xiuhan, had only promised Mo Wuji a Sacred Dao Talisman that couldn't be refined. The difference between the two was simply incomparable.
"In any case, I have to go and see. Please lead the way, Talisman Master," Mo Wuji said without hesitation.
If that Fu Feiyan could survive, could he, Mo Wuji, not survive? Whether or not he could refine the Sacred Dao Talisman was not important. What was important was that he had to find the Dimensional Rending Talisman in the Sacred Dao Talisman.
Fu Xiuhan nodded, without saying anything more, he simply walked to the edge of the back wall of the Talisman Master Hall and spat out a mouthful of essence blood.
The originally unremarkable hall suddenly revealed a passage. Fu Xiuhan pointed to the passage and said, "Dao Lord Mo, this passage leads to my Fu Clan's Sacred Dao Talisman."
As he spoke, Fu Xiuhan had already entered the passage. Mo Wuji put away Great Wilderness and Wok, followed Fu Xiuhan into the passage, and after only ten or so breaths, stood at the edge of a void.
Mo Wuji's previous spiritual will couldn't scan this place. He hadn't expected that behind this Talisman Master Hall was such a vast void.
In the void space in front of him, floated a hazy talisman. The talisman was a faint silver color and was surrounded by a kind of mist, making it impossible to see the edges.
A vast and grand aura rushed towards him, letting Mo Wuji know that this was definitely not a simple talisman.
"Dao Lord Mo, this is my Fu Clan's Sacred Dao Talisman. The Sacred Dao Talisman has been floating here for who knows how many years, but unfortunately, no one in my Fu Clan has been able to refine it," Fu Xiuhan sighed. He, Fu Xiuhan, was also a survivor who had emerged from the Sacred Dao Talisman, but he still couldn't refine it.
Between the Sacred Dao Talisman and the survival of the Fu Clan, he chose the survival of the Fu Clan.
"Thank you, Talisman Master, for bringing me here. I wonder how one can enter this Sacred Dao Talisman?" After seeing the Sacred Dao Talisman, Mo Wuji immediately wanted to go in and see it. This kind of vast and boundless talisman was simply equivalent to a star continent.
Fu Xiuhan said, "This Sacred Dao Talisman must be opened with the essence blood of a direct descendant of my Fu Clan, and it can only be opened once every thousand years. If Dao Lord Mo has made up your mind, I will send Dao Lord Mo in now."
It needs the essence blood of a direct descendant of the Fu Clan to open it? Only now did Mo Wuji understand that Fu Xiuhan wasn't giving anything away for free. In other words, even if the Fu Clan left, without a Fu Clan person to open this talisman, he wouldn't be able to enter, let alone refine it.
With the vastness and grandeur of this talisman, Mo Wuji was sure that he didn't have the strength to enter it alone.
If Fu Xiuhan had brought him here and then ignored him, then Mo Wuji would have thought that what he had given Fu Xiuhan was enough. Now that Fu Xiuhan was also going to use his essence blood to open it and let him enter the Sacred Dao Talisman, it made Mo Wuji feel that he had given too little.
Mo Wuji wasn't someone who liked to let others suffer losses. He thought about how Fu Feiyan had wanted his Celestial Pivot Soil before. He knew that this thing should be fatally attractive to the Fu Clan.
Thinking of this, Mo Wuji took out the remaining half of the Celestial Pivot Soil and said, "Regardless of whether I can refine the Sacred Dao Talisman or not, this Sacred Dao Talisman is after all the former number one treasure of the Fu Clan. I don't have anything good to exchange, so I will give this piece of Celestial Pivot Soil to your Fu Clan."
"Ah..." Fu Xiuhan was somewhat stunned. The value of this piece of Celestial Pivot Soil of Mo Wuji's was simply immeasurable. He was only pointing out a Sacred Dao Talisman that couldn't be refined to Mo Wuji before leaving. He also knew why Mo Wuji would take out the Celestial Pivot Soil again, because Mo Wuji didn't know that this Sacred Dao Talisman also needed the essence blood of a direct descendant of the Fu Clan to open.
People are indeed reciprocal. This Dao Lord Mo is even more upright and generous. This made Fu Xiuhan even more determined not to lose Mo Wuji as a friend. He had a premonition that even if Mo Wuji couldn't refine the Sacred Dao Talisman, he could safely emerge from it. Having such a friend was something that could not be bought with anything for the Fu Clan.
"Dao Lord Mo, I cannot accept this Celestial Pivot Soil. After all, Dao Lord Mo's chances of refining the Sacred Dao Talisman are less than one in a million. If I were to accept this Celestial Pivot Soil, it would be truly..."
