Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 984: Departure
But at this moment, just as her soul and collapsing primordial spirit were about to fall into eternal oblivion, she actually saw a glimmer of light, and that glimmer grew brighter and brighter. Her lost blood, primordial spirit, spiritual meridians, and even her spiritual roots were slowly condensing, and her body was gradually regaining strength.
*Have I fallen? Is this reincarnation?* Chi Bing suddenly opened her eyes.
"Sister..." Chi Chuan, seeing the life force returning to Chi Bing's body, her withered, gray hair turning black, and her face becoming plump and rosy, had been staring at her. When Chi Bing opened her eyes, he cried out in joy.
Chi Bing understood in the shortest possible time that she had been saved. She quickly closed her eyes and actively circulated her cultivation technique, absorbing divine spiritual energy under the effect of the Soul-Silence Pill to restore her body, while also accelerating the pill's effect.
Before, Chi Bing's absorption of divine spiritual energy was more of an instinct, driven by the Soul-Silence Pill to expel the Nirvana aura. Now, with Chi Bing actively absorbing divine spiritual energy for repair, her recovery speed was even faster.
Mo Wuji smiled and said, "Everyone, please go outside. Chi Bing will wake up again shortly."
After everyone left the room, and Chi Chuan closed the door, Mo Wuji allowed Qu Chen Dan and Di Jie to sit down and said with a smile, "Congratulations to both of you for cultivating excellent Azure Dew Rice. Is it superior grade or middle grade?"
Qu Chen Dan excitedly said, "Master Mo, I cultivated fifteen catties of superior-grade Azure Dew Rice..."
Di Jie followed up, "I cultivated twelve catties of superior-grade Azure Dew Rice..."
After speaking, they both took out a few grains of their cultivated Azure Dew Rice and handed them to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji took them and looked them over. Although these superior-grade Azure Dew Rice were far inferior to the superior-grade Azure Dew Rice he had cultivated, they did have two or three faint golden stripes, barely qualifying as superior-grade Azure Dew Rice.
"Not bad. It's quite talented of you to be able to cultivate superior-grade Azure Dew Rice on your first try," Mo Wuji said casually, praising them.
Di Jie quickly asked, "Master Mo, why is it that besides the superior-grade Azure Dew Rice, all the rest I cultivated are low-grade?"
"Mine too," Qu Chen Dan quickly added.
The reason they came to Mo Wuji this time, besides expressing their gratitude, was also to ask Mo Wuji why their cultivated Azure Dew Rice was either superior grade or low grade.
Mo Wuji smiled and said, "With your performance of cultivating around fifteen catties of superior-grade Azure Dew Rice per plot of land, I think you shouldn't have any problems getting high scores in the Nirvana Learning Academy assessment."
With Qu Chen Dan and Di Jie's luck-based transplanting methods, Mo Wuji really couldn't tell them why middle-grade Azure Dew Rice was so rare or even nonexistent.
"Yes, yes," Qu Chen Dan immediately said, "It's a pity the sect doesn't announce our results. Otherwise, I'd really like to see the surprised faces of those guys who followed Master Guang Chang to learn how to cultivate Azure Dew Rice."
"Master Mo, are you also a top-level physician? Oh, right, I also heard you're a Grand Alchemist," Di Jie said, recalling the scene of Mo Wuji saving Chi Bing just now.
Although Mo Wuji was their teacher, they still couldn't treat Mo Wuji like they would treat a master. After all, Mo Wuji seemed younger than them, both in terms of cultivation and age.
"I just happen to know one or two folk remedies. Because I know so little, I don't plan to continue running the medical clinic here," Mo Wuji said.
He naturally understood what Di Jie meant. She probably wanted to learn the Dao of Alchemy from him. However, he had no intention of continuing to teach Di Jie and Qu Chen Dan. His knowledge wasn't that easily given.
The reason he taught Di Jie and Qu Chen Dan before was mainly because he had received an invitation from Chi Kun. Plus, Chi Kun had done him a big favor, so he considered teaching these two as repaying a favor.
In other words, even if he had replaced them with any two random people, he would have taught them the method of cultivating Azure Dew Rice.
Now that he had fulfilled his obligation, he had no intention of staying in Lingxiao City any longer.
Moreover, Di Jie and Qu Chen Dan didn't meet his standards for accepting disciples, lacking a sense of gratitude.
Di Jie and Qu Chen Dan could know that he was proficient in cultivating Azure Dew Rice, definitely from Chi Kun, so they must know that he urgently needed level-five spirit herbs. When he was talking to them, he also knew that these two came from considerable forces.
Since they had this foundation and ability, and had learned the true method of cultivating Azure Dew Rice from him, if these two had a sense of gratitude, they would definitely have offered him some level-five spirit herbs. However, they didn't mention it at all. The main purpose of their visit today, besides offering symbolic thanks, was probably to ask why the Azure Dew Rice they cultivated was either superior grade or low grade.
"Master Mo is leaving Lingxiao City?" Qu Chen Dan quickly asked, "I wonder where Master Mo is going?"
Mo Wuji didn't intend to hide his whereabouts and said, "I plan to go to Nirvana Dao City to try my luck. After all, the Nirvana Learning Academy's competition is less than half a year away. Maybe there will be some opportunities at the Nirvana Learning Academy at this time. I'm just afraid that if I go late, I won't even be able to find a place to live."
Qu Chen Dan opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but it was difficult to say.
Di Jie also smiled and didn't say anything else, which disappointed Mo Wuji even more. Mo Wuji didn't need to ask. It was already very difficult to find a place to live in Nirvana Dao City at this time. Qu Chen Dan and Di Jie both had strong family backgrounds. He had already brought up this point. If they wanted to help, they would definitely have offered to help him.
It seemed that in the eyes of these two core disciples of the Nirvana Learning Academy, he was still just a "Master Mo", a rice farmer.
"My sister and I are willing to go to Nirvana Dao City with you, Master Mo," a clear voice came, and Mo Wuji and the others' eyes lit up.
Wearing a smoke-colored purple dress, although still somewhat thin, where was there even a hint of old age? The aura on her body had even recovered to the World God realm. Chi Bing couldn't be considered a great beauty, but she looked very comfortable.
"Sister, you're all better," Chi Chuan cried out excitedly.
Mo Wuji also said, "Congratulations to Dao Friend Chi on your recovery."
Chi Bing bowed to Mo Wuji and said, "If not for Master Mo's help, I, Chi Bing, would probably never stand like this again, and might not even be able to reincarnate. Master Mo is my brother's eldest brother, so you can just call me Chi Bing."
Mo Wuji waved his hand and said, "Speaking of which, I should be thanking you. You and your brother allowed my Dao to break through. Moreover, the medicinal herbs used to treat you were all your own."
Mo Wuji was truly grateful to Chi Bing. If he hadn't promised Chi Chuan, he probably wouldn't have bought level-five spirit herbs. Even when exchanging for the Rootless Divine Iron, he wouldn't have made the extra request for level-five spirit herbs.
It was because he obtained a large number of level-five spirit herbs that when he was refining the level-five divine pill, he understood his Mortal Dao, and realized the flaws in his Immortal World.
"Xiao Chuan, I was wrong before, sister was wrong," Chi Bing thanked Mo Wuji and then grasped Chi Chuan's hand and said.
As for what she was wrong about, she didn't explain. Chi Chuan was very clear that his sister had told him that even if she died, he must never reveal that they had purple Soul-Silence Sand and Bright Jade Divine Flower, let alone the formula for the Soul-Silence Pill. Once revealed, they would die even faster.
When Chi Chuan was at the end of his rope, he finally revealed these things in front of Mo Wuji. Yet Mo Wuji not only didn't harm them, but also tried his best to save them.
Qu Chen Dan couldn't help but stand up and clasp his fist at Mo Wuji, saying, "Master Mo, my Qu family greatly admires Master Mo's abilities and would like to invite Master Mo to be an honorary elder. As long as Master Mo goes to the Qu family, Master Mo can choose any land from the Qu family. Although I can't say how many level-five spirit herbs we have, we definitely have a certain share of level-four spirit herbs for Master Mo to use."
Mo Wuji said calmly, "Thank you. I'm used to being free and unfettered. This time I came to Lingxiao City at the invitation of Chi Kun, to repay a favor to Chi Kun."
Even if Qu Chen Dan and Di Jie were slow, they could hear the meaning of Mo Wuji's words. That was that Mo Wuji taught them not because he valued their aptitude or anything, but to repay a favor to Chi Kun.
Seeing that Mo Wuji seemed to have something to say to Chi Bing and his sister, the two had no choice but to bid farewell.
As soon as Qu Chen Dan and Di Jie left, Pot Throwing (甩锅, Shuaiguo) eagerly asked, "Grandpa, are we leaving Lingxiao City? When are we leaving?"
Pot Throwing had been living quite carefree here. Chi Chuan was very honest. During Mo Wuji's closed-door cultivation, Pot Throwing would basically leave the shop to Chi Chuan to take care of, while it wandered around Lingxiao City. So, hearing Mo Wuji say they were leaving, it was actually a little reluctant.
"Now," Mo Wuji said without hesitation.
……
In the main hall of the Lingxiao Divine Sect, there was still a room full of people.
Sect Leader Xing Wen's expression was very serious, and even his voice was low, "Everyone knows what happened not long ago, so our Lingxiao Divine Sect will stop investigating the whereabouts of the golden Soul-Silence Sand, and the person who sold the golden Soul-Silence Sand. We will focus all our energy on the Nirvana Learning Academy's assessment."
The main hall was silent. Everyone understood what the Sect Leader meant. Half a year ago, golden Soul-Silence Sand actually appeared in Dewdrop Divine City. This golden Soul-Silence Sand made the entire auction several times better.
But this was obviously not the climax. After this golden Soul-Silence Sand was auctioned off, it caused the madness of the Divine Kings. They came from all directions and flocked to Dewdrop Divine City, wanting to snatch the golden Soul-Silence Sand while also searching for the person who sold the golden Soul-Silence Sand.
The Lingxiao Divine Sect was one of them. The Lingxiao Divine Sect had at least three Divine Kings who went to Dewdrop Divine City.
The reason why Sect Leader Xing Wen suddenly stopped the investigation into this matter today was because a day ago, the Dewdrop Trading Company was bloodily cleansed. Everything in the Dewdrop Trading Company was looted, and to this day, no one knows who did it. The Lingxiao Divine Sect was afraid, hence this meeting.
