Yuan Mo didn't ask any further questions. He directly took out a ring and tossed it to Mo Wuji, saying, "Brother Mo, these are some Immortal Spiritual Herbs I obtained here. I'm giving you a portion as compensation for the fruit you gave me back then. If you have any extra pills, give me one or two bottles."
Yuan Mo was straightforward in nature, but not a fool, and he was also worldly-wise. After interacting with Mo Wuji for a while, he knew that Mo Wuji and Hu Chun'chun didn't have the same personality. When dealing with someone like Mo Wuji, there was no need for schemes; sincerity should be met with sincerity. It was like how Mo Wuji had given him a Shaping Dao Fruit first. If he dared to pretend he didn't know about it, he would definitely be the next Li Chu.
When dealing with someone like Mo Wuji, one should first show their own sincerity, and the other party would definitely not let them suffer a loss.
Among the three partners, Mo Wuji appreciated Yuan Mo the most. Yuan Mo wasn't as full of schemes as Hu Chun'chun, nor was he as guarded as Jin Tiehe. Moreover, Yuan Mo was very adaptable.
Now, as expected, he hadn't mentioned the Shaping Dao Fruit, and Yuan Mo had proactively taken out a ring for him.
Mo Wuji's spiritual will entered Yuan Mo's ring, and he immediately saw mountains of high-grade Immortal Spiritual Herbs, the lowest grade being Level Eight. He had jokingly said earlier that Bao Bu had taken away Li Chu's five Emperor Dao Fruits, and he actually saw Emperor Dao Fruits in Yuan Mo's ring, although there were only two.
One should know that a single Emperor Dao Fruit could cause a huge stir in the Immortal World, and Yuan Mo had given him two right away. As for other things like Undying Sacred Bamboo and True Inquiry Emperor Heart Flowers, they were also present in Yuan Mo's ring.
The Shaping Dao Fruit was a top-tier treasure for the demon race. To Mo Wuji, it wasn't worth much. Given that Mo Wuji had given Yuan Mo the Shaping Dao Fruit first, Yuan Mo was still able to take out so many things in exchange, which showed that Yuan Mo really wanted to befriend him. It also showed that Yuan Mo wasn't a scheming person and was a friend worth making.
Mo Wuji put away the ring, cupped his fists and said, "Brother Yuan, I, Mo Wuji, have made you a friend. After I finish refining pills, I will definitely invite you to come and get some pills."
His Immortal Mortal World wasn't perfect, and he couldn't take away Li Chu's pool. Since he had befriended Yuan Mo, he would invite Yuan Mo to come to his place and temper his physical body.
"Thank you, Brother Mo. It is my honor to receive your invitation," Yuan Mo said, overjoyed upon hearing Mo Wuji's words.
He didn't think Mo Wuji was just being polite. He had never approached Li Chu's pool.
Hu Chun'chun and Jin Tiehe sensed that Mo Wuji and Yuan Mo seemed to have some kind of deal, but it had nothing to do with them, as long as everyone worked together to open the Three Treasures Buddha Emperor's ruins.
Hu Chun'chun sped up along the way, and even Mo Wuji was somewhat amazed by the vastness of the Slanting Sea. They had been traveling for more than ten days, and according to Yuan Mo, they were still far from approaching the Slanting Sea's protective array.
Another five days passed, and Hu Chun'chun stopped, turning her head to say, "We're here. Everyone, put away your flying treasures and follow me down."
Mo Wuji looked at Hu Chun'chun in confusion. He didn't know how Hu Chun'chun had found this place. This was just an ordinary location in the Slanting Sea, with no abnormalities at all.
Hu Chun'chun quickly cleared up Mo Wuji's doubts. She took out a jade plate.
Mo Wuji's spiritual will quickly found a location on the jade plate, pointing directly to this place.
Hu Chun'chun didn't waste any words. She directly activated the jade plate. Waves of Buddhist light radiated from the jade plate, and the surrounding seawater quickly dispersed, revealing a void array gate in front of everyone.
Hu Chun'chun directly stepped into the void array gate. Mo Wuji and the others didn't lag behind, following her in.
Mo Wuji felt his feet sink. Before he could examine his surroundings, his feet landed on solid ground.
The void array gate behind him turned into rings of curtains, seemingly made entirely of water. Before this, there was actually a road paved with gold bricks. This road was a full zhang wide and extended into the distance. Mo Wuji was secretly amazed. Not to mention anything else, just these gold bricks alone would require a huge amount.
Hu Chun'chun pointed to the water curtain ring behind them and said, "This is the way out. Stepping out of this place will take you back to the surface of the Slanting Sea. Without my jade plate, no one can enter. Of course, I'm not trying to show off. Since I, Hu Chun'chun, invited you three brothers here, it's a partnership of equals. But before we cooperate, I think there's one more thing that needs to be clarified."
"Sister Chun'chun, please speak," Jin Tiehe said first, cupping his fists. His tone was slightly excited. Just thinking that this was the Three Treasures Buddha Emperor's ruins, he might become an existence no weaker than the Eight Great Emperors in the future.
"It's confirmed that this is the Three Treasures Buddha Emperor's ruins, but we don't know how many things the Three Treasures Buddha Emperor left here. So before we explore the ruins, we need to discuss how to distribute the spoils," Hu Chun'chun said again.
Yuan Mo also nodded, "Sister Chun'chun is right. It's better to discuss these things in advance to avoid hurting our relationship later."
Hu Chun'chun looked at Mo Wuji, "Brother Mo, what do you think?"
Mo Wuji smiled and said, "I also agree that it's better to discuss it in advance. How about this? After we open the ruins, if there are things that can be distributed, we'll divide them equally. Other than that, everyone will rely on their own luck. Of course, Sister Chun'chun deserves some extra for leading the way."
"I agree with Brother Mo's idea," Yuan Mo said first.
"I also agree," Jin Tiehe quickly said.
Hu Chun'chun bowed to the three of them, "Then thank you three brothers. Now, let's just follow this golden road to the end."
In fact, Hu Chun'chun knew that even if she didn't bring Mo Wuji and the others in, she wouldn't be able to open the Three Treasures Buddha Emperor's ruins. She had been to this place more than once.
The golden avenue was several thousand meters long. Mo Wuji walked along, cautiously observing both sides with his spiritual will. He quickly saw that this place was full of various types of trapping and killing arrays. These trapping and killing arrays should have had their spiritual veins drained, so they were currently in a paralyzed state. Otherwise, they wouldn't be walking so easily.
The group didn't walk fast, and they stopped after half an incense stick's time. Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone understood why Hu Chun'chun had asked for help.
This was a Four Elements One Gate Immortal Array. The so-called Four Gates One Element Immortal Array was just a way to activate it. Even someone who had just started learning about array formations would understand this common activation method. This activation method required four people to simultaneously infuse different elemental powers into a single array base. Only then could one of the four gates in these array bases be opened.
Even if Hu Chun'chun came a hundred times, she couldn't open this gate alone.
Mo Wuji's array formation level was infinitely close to Level Nine Immortal Array Master. He knew that this was also a trapping and killing array. This Four Elements One Gate Immortal Array was the core of this trapping and killing array. Once this core was activated by four people, the trapping and killing array would be activated.
As for the reason for activating this trapping and killing array, Mo Wuji didn't know, but he knew two things. First, the Three Treasures Buddha Emperor wasn't a benevolent person either. Second, after this array core was activated, that gate would indeed be opened.
But none of this mattered, because the Immortal Veins here had been almost completely drained. The four of them activating this Four Elements One Gate Immortal Array could only activate that one gate; they couldn't activate the trapping and killing array.
"You've all definitely seen this array before. It's a Four Elements One Gate. Now that we have four people, each of us will occupy an array base and simultaneously activate this array core," Hu Chun'chun said, first walking to one of the array bases.
Mo Wuji and the others didn't waste any words, each walking to one of the array bases.
The four of them simultaneously sent out their Immortal Elemental Power. Faint golden lights rose from the four array cores, quickly forming a substantial key in the middle. After this key entered the middle, a faint gate appeared before the four of them.
The gate quickly solidified, eventually slowly opening with creaking sounds.
"It's done, let's go in," Hu Chun'chun said, rushing into the gate first.
Mo Wuji's Wind Escape Technique was even faster. After Hu Chun'chun rushed into the gate, he had already passed Hu Chun'chun, simultaneously taking an inconspicuous gray stone.
At the same time, Mo Wuji saw Hu Chun'chun put away a lotus flower treasure. Mo Wuji even suspected that the lotus flower treasure Hu Chun'chun had taken was one of the Three Treasures of the Three Treasures Buddha Emperor – the Buddha Lotus Flower.
Jin Tiehe took a golden wooden fish, Yuan Mo directly grabbed that Zen staff.
There seemed to be only these few items on the front of the hall, while on the left was a pile of top-grade Immortal Veins with extremely rich Immortal Spiritual energy. These top-grade Immortal Veins were piled up, at least fifty or sixty of them.
None of the four of them touched these top-grade Immortal Veins, because everyone had agreed that the things that could be divided would be divided later. Snatching them first wouldn't do any good.
Hu Chun'chun coughed and said, "It seems everyone's harvest is quite substantial this time. How about we divide these Immortal Veins now?"
"Sister Chun'chun, what you got should be a Buddha Lotus Flower, right? Although I also got a wooden fish, it's just a simple magic weapon. Compared to Sister Chun'chun, I'm far behind," Jin Tiehe said intentionally.
Hu Chun'chun chuckled, "How could there be a treasure like the Buddha Lotus Flower here? If there were such a treasure, Brother Mo, who came in first, would definitely have chosen the lotus flower first."
Mo Wuji knew what Jin Tiehe meant, which was that when distributing the Immortal Veins, everyone should divide them equally and not let Hu Chun'chun continue to take advantage.
Mo Wuji proactively said, "There are sixty-one Immortal Veins here. Each of us will take fifteen, and Chun'chun, who led the way, will take sixteen."
"I agree," Yuan Mo said first.
"I also agree," Hu Chun'chun quickly echoed. Although she didn't understand why Mo Wuji didn't want the lotus flower, she felt that the thing Mo Wuji had taken was not simple, but she hadn't noticed it.
Despite this, she still thought that the lotus flower she had obtained should be the best treasure here.
Jin Tiehe naturally couldn't object. The sixty-one top-grade Immortal Spiritual Veins were instantly divided, and behind the Immortal Spiritual Veins appeared a golden brick only a foot in diameter. In the middle of this golden brick was a hole the thickness of a finger.
