Chapter 156 What is a Soul-Forging Crystal?
Mo Wuji thanked her and carefully led Yan'er into the room.
As soon as he entered, Mo Wuji smelled the burnt aroma of spirit herbs, and he felt a little apprehensive. He himself no longer burned spirit herbs when refining pills. If Linglong Po Po burned spirit herbs so easily, how powerful could she be?
Then Mo Wuji saw the woman behind the huge pill furnace. The woman looked to be no more than thirty years old, dressed in a brown skirt. Not only that, but she was also very beautiful. Beneath her slender willow eyebrows were eyes that resembled two pools of clear spring water, and her black hair was tied into a fairy bun, making her look both pure and noble.
This was Linglong Po Po? She was clearly a beautiful woman in the prime of her life! Mo Wuji almost thought he was being deceived. But then he realized that was impossible. Impersonating Linglong Po Po at the temporary residence of the Wentian School was something no one had the ability or the courage to do.
"What do you want from me?" Seeing Mo Wuji staring at her without saying anything, Linglong Po Po frowned slightly.
Mo Wuji immediately woke up and bowed respectfully, "Disciple Mo Wuji greets Linglong Po Po."
He didn't dare to reveal any of his inner thoughts.
"Speak," Linglong Po Po said even more concisely this time.
Mo Wuji bowed again and said uneasily, "Disciple Mo Wuji, this is Yan'er, the person closest to me. I came here this time to ask..."
Linglong Po Po interrupted Mo Wuji, "You are asking me to save her?"
"Yes, disciple presumptuously comes to seek help," Mo Wuji felt that Linglong Po Po didn't seem as bad as Yin Qianqian and others had described. The only strange thing was that Linglong Po Po seemed too young. Calling her Linglong Jie Jie (sister) might be more appropriate.
Linglong Po Po glanced at Yan'er and said faintly, "She was once subjected to spirit plundering, but the attempt failed, resulting in chaotic spirit meridians, mental confusion, memory loss, and at most two years to live."
Mo Wuji's heart trembled. At this point, he had no doubts. He bowed to the ground and said, "Please, Linglong Po Po, save her. This junior will be at your disposal."
Linglong Po Po only glanced at Yan'er to know her condition. This kind of ability was definitely not fake. Although spirit plundering was different from the spirit marriage Shen Lian had mentioned, in Mo Wuji's view, there wasn't much difference in meaning.
At this moment, Mo Wuji understood the feeling of Yu Zhi when he had asked for his help. Now he himself was in that state.
"I can save her," Linglong Po Po said concisely.
Mo Wuji heard those words as if they were celestial music, and his voice trembled, "Please, Po Po, have mercy and save Yan'er. Yan'er has always been alone..."
For Mo Wuji, although Yan'er was by his side, she was originally an orphan and had never enjoyed any happiness with him, instead, she had always been taking care of him.
"But why should I save her? What does it have to do with me whether she lives or dies?" Linglong Po Po's question plunged Mo Wuji into an ice cave. He finally understood how difficult it was to ask Linglong Po Po for help. This was just the beginning, and he couldn't even find a reason.
"If you can't come up with a reason, then please leave. I won't bother with you these next few days," Linglong Po Po's voice became impatient.
"Po Po, although I don't have Boundless Soul Forging Crystal (Wu Liang Duan Hun Jing)..."
Mo Wuji's words were interrupted by Linglong Po Po's sharp shout, "What are you doing here without Boundless Soul Forging Crystal (Wu Liang Duan Hun Jing)? Get out!"
A murderous aura enveloped Mo Wuji at this moment, giving him the feeling that if he made the slightest move, he would be torn to pieces by the other party.
"Ah..." Mo Wuji was immediately dumbfounded. He had just thought that Linglong Po Po, although difficult to talk to, wasn't the kind of person who was completely unreasonable. But in the blink of an eye, the change was too fast.
Linglong Po Po seemed agitated, pointing at Mo Wuji and shouting sharply, "Do you know how difficult it is to save her? She has to stay by my side for ten years and learn my cultivation method. If I wasn't in urgent need of Boundless Soul Forging Crystal (Wu Liang Duan Hun Jing), even if you brought ten thousand pieces of Boundless Soul Forging Crystal (Wu Liang Duan Hun Jing), I wouldn't... forget it, as long as you bring out one piece of Boundless Soul Forging Crystal (Wu Liang Duan Hun Jing), I will save her."
Linglong Po Po's sharp tone seemed to become sad and weary at the end, turning low and lost again.
Mo Wuji gritted his teeth, took out a jade box and said, "Po Po, although I don't have Boundless Soul Forging Crystal (Wu Liang Duan Hun Jing), I obtained this ice flower..."
Because he was afraid that Linglong Po Po wouldn't even bother to look at it, Mo Wuji specially opened the jade box.
"Get out, get out of here..." Linglong Po Po's voice stopped abruptly. She stared at the jade box in Mo Wuji's hand with wide eyes. After a few breaths, she screamed and rushed to Mo Wuji's side, grabbing the jade box from his hand.
"Hahahaha..." In the next moment, Mo Wuji could only hear Linglong Po Po's wild laughter. If he wasn't asking this woman to save Yan'er, Mo Wuji might have thought this woman was crazy, and he would have turned around and left with Yan'er long ago.
"Boundless Soul Continuing Flower (Wu Liang Xu Hun Hua), you actually found a Boundless Soul Continuing Flower (Wu Liang Xu Hun Hua), haha, haha... Linglong, I've finally waited, I've finally waited..."
Linglong Po Po laughed crazily while holding the jade box and kissing it.
Mo Wuji suddenly felt at ease. Listening to Linglong Po Po's words, it seemed that the Boundless Soul Continuing Flower (Wu Liang Xu Hun Hua) was also useful to her. And what he had just taken out was indeed the Boundless Soul Continuing Flower (Wu Liang Xu Hun Hua).
After several minutes, Linglong Po Po's laughter slowly stopped. She carefully took out a new jade box, put the Boundless Soul Continuing Flower (Wu Liang Xu Hun Hua) into the new jade box, and threw Mo Wuji's jade box aside.
After doing all this, she took a long breath and looked at Mo Wuji gently, "Mo Wuji, thank you for bringing the Boundless Soul Continuing Flower (Wu Liang Xu Hun Hua). I will help you save your Yan'er. In addition to saving Yan'er, the Boundless Soul Continuing Flower (Wu Liang Xu Hun Hua) allows me to grant you one request. Tell me what you want."
At this time, Linglong Po Po's tone was extremely gentle and kind. She was nothing but a virtuous lady, and there was no trace of her previous madness. The only thing was that her voice still had a hint of trembling, obviously she had not completely calmed down from the surprise of the Boundless Soul Continuing Flower (Wu Liang Xu Hun Hua).
Mo Wuji calmed himself down and finally felt completely relieved. As long as Linglong Po Po agreed to save Yan'er, he had no more worries.
With this thought gone, Mo Wuji's mind instantly cleared, "Po Po, what is this Boundless Soul Continuing Flower (Wu Liang Xu Hun Hua)? Is it better than Boundless Soul Forging Crystal (Wu Liang Duan Hun Jing)?"
Linglong Po Po's mood seemed to be particularly good at the moment. She patiently explained, "What is a Boundless Soul Forging Crystal (Wu Liang Duan Hun Jing)? How can it compare to a Boundless Soul Continuing Flower (Wu Liang Xu Hun Hua)? Even a room full of Boundless Soul Breaking Crystal (Wu Liang Duan Hun Jing) is not as good as a petal of a Boundless Soul Continuing Flower (Wu Liang Xu Hun Hua). Strictly speaking, the predecessor of the Boundless Soul Continuing Flower (Wu Liang Xu Hun Hua) is the Boundless Soul Forging Crystal (Wu Liang Duan Hun Jing). But it is too difficult, too difficult for Boundless Soul Forging Crystal (Wu Liang Duan Hun Jing) to become a Boundless Soul Continuing Flower (Wu Liang Xu Hun Hua)."
"Only a very few Boundless Soul Forging Crystal (Wu Liang Duan Hun Jing) can form their own spirituality under extreme ice conditions. This spiritual Boundless Soul Forging Crystal (Wu Liang Duan Hun Jing) will absorb the soul power of the surrounding Boundless Soul Forging Crystal (Wu Liang Duan Hun Jing) and then slowly condense into a Boundless Soul Continuing Flower (Wu Liang Xu Hun Hua). The conditions for growing into the Boundless Soul Continuing Flower (Wu Liang Xu Hun Hua) that you just took out are so harsh that you can't imagine..."
Speaking of this, Linglong Po Po stared at Mo Wuji and continued, "You are lucky to be able to obtain a Boundless Soul Continuing Flower (Wu Liang Xu Hun Hua). You should know that with your cultivation level, you would probably be frozen to death before you even got close to this flower. I really don't know how you got it. Tell me about the process of how you obtained it. Is there anything else where the Boundless Soul Continuing Flower (Wu Liang Xu Hun Hua) grew?"
Mo Wuji quickly replied, "This junior obtained it under an ice peak. At that time, this junior entered a hall under the ice peak, and there were many passages in the hall. This junior was fortunate enough to obtain this Boundless Soul Continuing Flower (Wu Liang Xu Hun Hua) in one of the passages. It was indeed very cold there, but this junior could bear it. Unfortunately, there was only one Boundless Soul Continuing Flower (Wu Liang Xu Hun Hua) there, and nothing else."
Mo Wuji's words were nine parts true and one part false. The truth was that he entered under the ice peak. With Linglong Po Po's ability, she could definitely obtain that information from the ring. The false part was that he didn't have a ring on him, so Linglong Po Po naturally wouldn't know which passage he obtained it from.
As soon as these words were spoken, Mo Wuji felt a powerful spiritual sense penetrate into his storage bag. This made Mo Wuji secretly rejoice that he had hidden his storage bag at his residence before coming.
Linglong Po Po's divine sense circled over Mo Wuji's storage bag and then retracted, nodding, "Not bad, you are indeed lucky."
After speaking, Linglong Po Po paused and continued, "Yan'er's spirit meridians are in chaos and her mind is unclear. Because of the spirit plundering, she lost her memory, and even if I want to restore her memory, it will be very difficult..."
"Senior, you just said..." Mo Wuji was shocked and quickly asked.
Linglong Po Po waved her hand, "You don't need to worry, as long as you have met me, she is safe. As for memory... I will check her spirit root first..."
After Linglong Po Po finished speaking, she reached out and grabbed Yan'er's wrist. After a moment, a look of surprise appeared on her face, "Mutated top-grade wood spirit root, how is this possible?"
Then Linglong Po Po grabbed Yan'er's other wrist again, and soon she said affirmatively, "It is indeed a mutated top-grade wood spirit root."
"Senior, what is a mutated top-grade wood spirit root?" Mo Wuji quickly asked.
"Mutated spirit roots are generally only wind, lightning, and ice, but once the five elements spirit roots mutate, the aptitude and achievements are even higher than the wind, lightning, and ice spirit roots. Mutated wood spirit root is the best physique for a Pill Refiner."
Linglong Po Po said here, hesitated slightly before continuing, "I have only taken in two disciples in my life. You brought out the Boundless Soul Continuing Flower (Wu Liang Xu Hun Hua), if you are willing, I can accept her as my closed-door disciple. But..."
Mo Wuji quickly bowed and said, "It is her blessing that Senior can accept Yan'er as a disciple. Please feel free to instruct us on anything, Senior."
Mo Wuji himself didn't even have a master. Linglong Po Po's strength was unfathomable, and she was also the number one in the Wentian School's Pill Tower. How could Mo Wuji not be willing to have her accept Yan'er as a disciple?
