Old Five is a Goose.

Chapter 224 The Most Humble Immortal Abode

The storage bag for Zhuang Yan also contained several boxes of clothes. Mo Wuji had obtained these clothes from the black-scarved woman's ring in the Thunder Fog Forest. He casually tossed them into a storage bag and now Zhuang Yan's clothes were all torn. Since Zhuang Yan didn't have a storage bag, he simply gave these things to her.

"Ah, this is too precious, I didn't do anything." Although Pu Qian couldn't extend his spiritual will, his Late Stage Detachment from Mortal Stage cultivation, combined with his powerful Yuan Force, allowed his consciousness to easily detect the items in the storage bag.

Seeing Zhuang Yan also wanting to speak, Mo Wuji waved his hand, "Compared to my life, this is nothing. Spirit stones, no matter how good, will eventually be used up. Only friends are true wealth. It's fortunate to know friends like Brother Pu and Junior Sister Zhuang."

These words were Mo Wuji's sincere feelings. He wasn't familiar with either Pu Qian or Zhuang Yan. He helped Zhuang Yan without expecting her to come back and save him. After all, in this cultivation world, he had seen too many selfish people. If there was a reason for Zhuang Yan to return to save him, it was because he had saved her once. But Pu Qian had no need to return and save him. It was precisely because Pu Qian had returned that he decided to consider Pu Qian a true friend.

"Brother Mo, it's my Pu Qian's blessing to know a friend like you." Pu Qian didn't stand on ceremony and simply tied the storage bag to his waist, saying loudly. He had seen Mo Wuji's rescue of Zhuang Yan clearly. It could be said that even Zhuang Yan's husband probably wouldn't have acted at that time. Yet, he knew that Mo Wuji and Zhuang Yan weren't even familiar.

Zhuang Yan was only at the seventh level of the Spiritual Building Stage and had never thought she could obtain a storage bag at the Spiritual Building Stage. Not only that, the storage bag seemed to contain top-grade pills and spirit stones. What moved her even more was that Mo Wuji was considerate and had left several large boxes of women's clothing inside.

"Thank you, Brother Mo, I need to change my clothes." Zhuang Yan heard Mo Wuji's words and didn't decline the storage bag, but bowed in thanks. She always felt that Mo Wuji was the kind of person who had a solution in any situation. A person like him probably wouldn't care about one or two storage bags as much as she did.

In fact, Mo Wuji really didn't care about these storage bags. He had several storage bags on him and even four rings.

"Go in and change, we'll wait for you here," Mo Wuji said, pointing to the cabin.

"Ah..." At this moment, Zhuang Yan remembered the terrifying strangeness in the cabin. Her face turned pale and she hesitated to go in.

Mo Wuji had no choice but to say, "Then change on the deck, we'll go down to the sea and wait for you."

As he spoke, Mo Wuji grabbed a few broken gardenia branches and threw them into the sea. He pulled Pu Qian's hand and they each landed on one of the gardenia branches.

"Brother Mo, Zhuang Yan sister... she's alone..." Seeing Mo Wuji leave Zhuang Yan alone on the ship, Pu Qian was shocked.

Mo Wuji laughed, "Don't worry, that ship is very safe now. I stayed on it for a long time."

Pu Qian didn't understand, and Zhuang Yan was even more terrified. But she also believed that Mo Wuji wouldn't harm her. She quickly grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on, jumping off the ship.

Only when she safely landed on the gardenia branch that Mo Wuji had prepared for her did her wildly beating heart calm down. Compared to death, being left alone on that ship was the most terrifying thing. It showed how much courage she had when she returned to save Mo Wuji.

Immediately, she understood that it was no coincidence that Mo Wuji was fine on the ship. He probably already knew that the ship was safe. It was very likely that the thing on the ship had been killed by Brother Mo. Otherwise, Brother Mo wouldn't have left her alone on the ship for no reason.

Pu Qian was even clearer in his heart. He also thought that the presence on the ship had been killed by Mo Wuji. The storage bags that Mo Wuji gave him and Zhuang Yan were very likely taken from the ship.

However, he didn't ask much. Some things, he just needed to know in his heart.

The three of them quickly arrived on the small island. The five who had arrived earlier had already left.

"The location of the Immortal Mansion should be on this island. This should be fake, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many identical Immortal Mansion sea charts," Pu Qian said with a sigh, looking at the heart of the island.

Zhuang Yan was also filled with worry, "I don't know how we'll get back when the time comes."

Mo Wuji couldn't reply. This place was not far from the location of the Immortal Mansion in Jing Lengbei's sea chart. At the same time, he let the ship go because he was still looking for Shi Yiniang and Mo Xiangtong. Otherwise, he would have left the ship by the island.

If he had left the ship here, it might have benefited the five who had left earlier. These five had not saved them, so Mo Wuji had no intention of leaving them a way out.

"Let's go, let's go into the island and see. Maybe there really is a discovery," Pu Qian said, open-minded as usual.

Mo Wuji walked in the front, Zhuang Yan in the middle, and Pu Qian in the back.

Although there were no high mountains on the small island, there were continuous small peaks, one after another. All kinds of thorns and barbs were everywhere, and poisonous snakes and insects were rampant.

Fortunately, even Zhuang Yan, with the lowest cultivation, was at the Late Stage Spiritual Building Stage. Although there was no road here at all, the three of them moved quickly.

An hour later, Mo Wuji stopped. He didn't need to look for a map, because there was a completely ruined area in front of him.

"This place was just destroyed. Wait, the location of the Immortal Mansion in the map seems to be here," Pu Qian said, taking out the map to compare it.

Immediately, he said with certainty, "That's right, this is the place. The seven mountain peaks on the left and right look like a spoon. And the location of the Immortal Mansion is in the middle of the spoon. It seems that Jiang Xiapeng and the others entered from here. I guess there should be a passage below."

Mo Wuji's spiritual will landed on the fresh soil around him, and then penetrated underground. After a while, he nodded, "Brother Pu is right, Jiang Xiapeng and the others did enter from here. But before Jiang Xiapeng and the others came, someone else came here."

Mo Wuji's spiritual will found an inclined stone staircase underground. As long as the soil here was dug open a little, you could see a stone slab. Under the stone slab was an inclined stone staircase. Unfortunately, his spiritual will was limited and couldn't see further.

"Brother Mo, we can go down from here. The sea chart has it marked. But why did someone come before us and the others?" Zhuang Yan asked in confusion.

Mo Wuji smiled, "My eyesight is better, and when I walked here just now, I heard a hollow sound under my feet."

In fact, whether it was the freshness of the soil or the underground stone staircase, Mo Wuji had seen them with his spiritual will and compared them. It had nothing to do with eyesight. Human Realm cultivators possessed spiritual will. It concerned his life and fortune. Even if he considered Zhuang Yan and Pu Qian friends, there was no need to say these things.

"I'll do it." Pu Qian grabbed a mace from his storage bag and directly split the fresh soil on both sides. This mace was also a decent low-grade spiritual artifact. Mo Wuji had casually given it to Pu Qian, and Pu Qian used it to clear the way. As for his own thick-backed broadsword, he was reluctant to use it.

Pu Qian only divided it a few times and there was a large bluestone slab under the soil. With a casual lift of the mace, the bluestone slab was pried open. A bottomless stone staircase appeared before the three of them. There seemed to be a cold wind blowing out from the bottom of the stone steps, making it seem somewhat cold.

Mo Wuji was very disappointed in his heart. If the Immortal Mansion was in such a simple place, then there would be too many Immortal Mansions in the world. Everyone knew the map was fake, but it was a bit ridiculous for it to be fake to the point that ordinary mortals could build it.

Even the worst Immortal Mansion should at least have concealment arrays, defense arrays, and general killing arrays in the place it was hidden. There was nothing here, only a stone staircase that could be dug open with a shovel.

"If this place is an Immortal Mansion, then the place I live in wouldn't be worse than an Immortal Mansion," Pu Qian said, looking at the stone staircase with the same disappointment.

Zhuang Yan suddenly said, "Brother Mo, Brother Pu. This place really doesn't look impressive, it's like it was dug out by mortals. But how could mortals come to this place?"

Mo Wuji nodded inwardly. It was indeed not easy for mortals to come to this place. There were not many powerful demon beasts in Tianhai, but the storms and huge waves were definitely not something ordinary mortals could withstand.

"Let's go in and see. I'll go first," Mo Wuji said and was the first to land on the stone steps of the staircase.

"I'll still guard the rear, I'll restore the bluestone later," Pu Qian volunteered to stand at the back.

Zhuang Yan walked behind Mo Wuji. She took out a luminous stone, and the area around the stone staircase suddenly lit up. At this moment, Mo Wuji discovered that the stone staircase was covered with bluestone all around. It seemed that the person who made this stone staircase was not simple either.

At the end of the stone staircase was a stone door. Mo Wuji's spiritual will penetrated into the stone door and he was immediately stunned. Inside the stone door was a stone hall. Mo Wuji wasn't surprised that there were people in the stone hall, after all, Jiang Xiapeng and the others had arrived earlier than them. What surprised Mo Wuji was that there were not only people in the stone hall, but also a dozen or twenty people. In addition to Jiang Xiapeng and the five, there were a dozen people that Mo Wuji didn't recognize at all.

In the center of the stone hall, there was something like a yurt. Nearly twenty people were surrounding this yurt-like thing.

Mo Wuji pushed open the stone door, and twenty pairs of eyes in the stone hall all fell on Mo Wuji and his group. Qi Wenxuan immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Yan Yan, you don't know how worried I was about you. It's great that you're okay, come here quickly."

Zhuang Yan nodded to Qi Wenxuan, but didn't go over. She still stood beside Mo Wuji and Pu Qian. She originally didn't want to come on this trip to sea. It was because Qi Wenxuan repeatedly told her that he could protect her. He only hoped that the two of them would obtain the Immortal Mansion together, and live and die together. Because of this, she came. It was not long ago that she understood that all of those were just words.

"Those who came later should follow the rules and stand at the back," a high-pitched voice shouted as Mo Wuji walked directly to the stone yurt in the center of the stone hall.
