It was Mo Xilan.
Moreover, it was a vibrant and youthful Mo Xilan.
"Oh, who is this?"
Mo Xilan stopped ten steps away from Wang Mu, her expression aloof, her gaze calm. "Why do you look so old? Why, have you co to my Dan King Sect for dicine? If you’re seeking dicine, you could just ask the people outside. Why bother ?"
"..." Wang Mu.
This sarcastic tone...
"Is it because those Spiritual pills can’t save your life that you thought of seeking out, the venerable ancestor of the Dan King Sect?" Mo Xilan crossed her arms and continued, "But who are you? Why should I, the venerable ancestor of the Dan King Sect, help an old codger like you?"
"After having your Life Span drained by those vixen, now you think of running to ?"
"Who do you think I am?"
"A Taoist couple? My Taoist couple is the handso and suave Brother Dongfang, not a white-haired old codger like you."
"..." Wang Mu.
"Old codger, aren’t you just right for an old hag?" Wang Mu retorted.
Mo Xilan was stunned and retorted indignantly, "You’re the old hag!"
"Open your eyes and look carefully! I’m certainly no worse than those vixen of yours!"
Wang Mu surveyed her for a mont, then sighed, "Indeed. I am no longer worthy of you."
"Have you completed your comprehension of the Alchemy Dao?"
Mo Xilan snorted but didn’t answer.
"I want to make another trip to the Immortal Mansion," Wang Mu said.
"What for?"
"Cultivation."
"Hardly for Cultivation, I imagine?" Mo Xilan said. "Are you perhaps hoping to see that Sixth Generation Immortal, An Qixiu? What? So, the person you most want to see before you die is her?"
"You truly are sothing else."
"Last ti, you brought soone to my Dan King Sect and used my Divine Heart Fla to refine a special Magic Treasure with another woman."
"Brother Dongfang, did you think that because I was in seclusion, I was completely unaware of everything?"
"..." Wang Mu.
As Mo Xilan spoke, her gaze turned fierce, as if flas were blazing within her eyes.
"Weren’t you also performing Alchemy at the Fengyue Sect back then?" Wang Mu countered.
"..." Mo Xilan.
"That’s different!" Mo Xilan’s expression shifted slightly, the fire in her eyes dimming sowhat, a hint of panic in her voice.
"What’s so different?" Wang Mu said. "The Heavenly Dao operates in cycles; all is preordained. Whatever deeds you’ve done will eventually co back to you. As for what I want to do before I die..."
Wang Mu paused, then continued, "Didn’t I co to find you before I die?"
"So, tell , who is it that I wanted to see before I die?"
Mo Xilan fell silent.
"Then why do you want to go to the Immortal Mansion?" she asked.
"In my current state, only by going to the Immortal Mansion for Cultivation do I stand a chance of surviving," Wang Mu explained. "I don’t want to die, so naturally, this is what I must do. If I succeed, that would be for the best."
"If I don’t succeed, then coming here to you, and dying... well, consider it my way of seeing you one last ti."
Mo Xilan was silent once again.
The Immortal Cloud Kun, watching from the side, suddenly had a flash of understanding as to why Big Brother’s angling skills were so formidable.
"It’s just Life Span..." Mo Xilan snorted. "My Dan King Sect has plenty of Elixirs!"
With that, she waved her hand, and several dazzling Elixirs flew out.
"These are Divine-grade Pills, Tongqi Pills. Each can extend Life Span by two hundred years. These few together can grant at least a thousand years," Mo Xilan stated.
Wang Mu did not accept them.
"What, are they beneath your notice?"
Wang Mu shook his head.
"If you give these Elixirs, the Heaven’s Punishnt you bear will only grow heavier. Your Primordial Spirit already carries so many Heavenly Dao Chains; you cannot afford to add more."
These Elixirs were useless for Mo Xilan. The Heavenly Dao Chains on her were a symbol of her Life Span; unless they were removed, her only path was Ascension. She needed to comprehend a new Great Taoist to succeed in Ascension. Now that she had erged from seclusion, she must have comprehended it.
"I don’t need your concern," Mo Xilan said. "I will soon be undergoing my Crossing Tribulation for Ascension."
Wang Mu shook his head again. "That won’t help either."
Mo Xilan didn’t believe him.
A Divine Pill, how could it possibly be useless?
Seeing her disbelief, Wang Mu pondered for a mont, then took one Pill and swallowed it.
After a while, there was no reaction.
His appearance didn’t change in the slightest!
Mo Xilan was startled.
Consuming a Divine Pill should have restored so of his youthful appearance, even if he were undergoing a Tribulation!
He’s only at the Nascent Soul stage; how could there be absolutely no change?
Mo Xilan walked over to Wang Mu and, with a flicker of her Divine Thought, carefully scanned him.
After a long mont, her eyes widened in shock.
Her earlier scan revealed that Wang Mu’s life force was draining away at an astonishing rate. Despite his already ager Life Span, it was still depleting frantically—it was utterly bizarre!
At this rate of loss, the mont the Pill was swallowed, its effects had only montarily slowed the drain before being completely overwheld.
He’s undoubtedly dood!
It’s as if he’s in debt for several thousand years of Life Span!
This is even more terrifying than my own situation!
"You... what in the world have you done to yourself?" Mo Xilan demanded angrily.
Wang Mu shook his head but said nothing more.
If I tell her it was for Bi You, I probably won’t get to go to the Immortal Mansion at all.
"Let’s go! We’re going to the Immortal Mansion now!"
Mo Xilan glared fiercely at Wang Mu. "Your Constitution has also changed sowhat, at the very least. Have you been cultivating so kind of Demon Skill?"
With that, Mo Xilan imdiately led Wang Mu towards the Eternal Night Desert in the Great Wilderness.
Wang Mu briefly explained what had happened with Piao Miaoxu.
"Piao Miaoxu..." Mo Xilan frowned. "You truly are audacious, daring to practice the Cultivation Technique she gave you... Wait. The Wuji Demon Scripture... I’ve heard of it. It’s said to be a Cultivation Technique capable of devouring any form of energy."
"Hold on. You’re not foolish enough to cultivate sothing so dangerous without a compelling reason. Was it for those other won again?"
Mo Xilan glared fiercely at Wang Mu.
"No," Wang Mu stated firmly. "It was purely for the sake of Cultivation!"
