Hearing that the spirit beasts inside the ruins might break free, the disciples of the sect, who had been sitting on the ground, instantly stood up and ran towards the exit of the Azure Light Secret Realm. They ran faster than rabbits, completely forgetting their previous weakness.
Shangguan Ying'er covered her mouth and smiled, saying to Ling Mo Xie beside her, "Let's go too!" Ling Mo Xie looked at the rapidly fleeing disciples, dumbfounded, and nodded, saying, "Oh, okay! Let's go!" However, he thought to himself that these disciples were truly useless!
Shangguan Ying'er laughed and said, "These must all be outer disciples! There are probably very few inner disciples. The Azure Light Secret Realm can only be considered a minor secret realm; generally, high-ranking disciples wouldn't be sent here. We only came because the ruins opened."
Upon hearing Shangguan Ying'er's explanation, Ling Mo Xie pouted and nodded. If the outer disciples were like this, then the inner and core disciples couldn't be much better!
Watching Shangguan Ying'er and Ling Mo Xie chatting happily as they walked towards the exit of the Azure Light Secret Realm, Zhou Buzhi hurriedly caught up with them. "Ying'er, with something like this happening here, you will report back to the sect, right? It's on the way; should we go together?"
As he spoke, he winked at Ling Mo Xie in a showy manner. Ling Mo Xie felt three black lines appear on his forehead and suddenly thought that Zhou Buzhi was somewhat cute! How should one put it?
Xiao Qingyu, unable to bear it any longer, picked Zhou Buzhi up and said to Shangguan Ying'er, "Zhou's words make sense. Ying'er, why don't you take the flying carriage? Can I hitch a ride?"
Shangguan Ying'er glanced at Ling Mo Xie beside her, leaving him puzzled. Then she said, "Sure! But you see, since Mo Xie sat in my carriage before and had bad luck, how about you sit on top of the sedan? That should be fine!" She winked at Ling Mo Xie as she spoke.
Ling Mo Xie found it amusing; it seemed she was getting back at him for something. Her temper was like that of a child.
Xiao Qingyu smiled awkwardly and hadn't spoken yet when Zhou Buzhi leaned over and said, "Sure! As long as I can be with Miss Ying'er, sitting on top of the sedan is fine!"
Ling Mo Xie covered his mouth with one hand to stifle his laughter; the focus wasn't really on sitting on top of the sedan!
They chatted and laughed all the way out of the Azure Light Secret Realm. Shangguan Ying'er waved goodbye to Ling Mo Xie before leaving.
After watching Shangguan Ying'er leave with Zhou Buzhi and Xiao Qingyu along with other disciples from the sect, Ling Mo Xie finally looked at the five urns in his backpack. The side quest was still incomplete; he needed to find a place to bury these urns.
Since these urns were said to contain the ashes of a powerful being and had previously created monsters like the Sophora Tree Demon in a short time, Ling Mo Xie didn't dare to bury them in the Azure Light Secret Realm. The spirit beasts inside could break free at any moment due to their resentment.
After thinking it over, Ling Mo Xie arrived at the forest where Nan Jianjun once lived. He casually found a spot and blasted out a deep pit with several fireballs. He placed the urns inside and covered them with a thick layer of soil.
Just as Ling Mo Xie finished leveling off the soil, he heard a system prompt: "Congratulations! Side quest completed. You have received the title 'A Good Person!', Nourishing Soul Pill Recipe, and access to the Refining Room!"
"A good person?" Ling Mo Xie murmured, "Hehe! I wonder what this title is like?"
A Good Person: Orange Title
Title Effect: You are a good person! After using this title, Luck +5, NPC Favorability +10.
"Increasing Luck?" Ling Mo Xie felt a surge of joy. Luck in the game affects critical hit rates and drop rates. I wonder what effect it will have in this real Cultivation World. It would be great if it could truly make someone luckier.
Ling Mo Xie temporarily set aside the alchemy room; he had a blueprint but no materials. So he decided to learn that Dan Fang first.
Nourishing Soul Pill: Level 4 Pill
Special Effect Pill, after use, can condense the soul and enhance the soul.
After claiming the quest rewards, Ling Mo Xie looked at the two green items dropped by the Stone Tiger.
Fierce Tiger Descends: Green Skill
Learning Level: 50
Skill Effect: After use, deals a fixed damage of 40,000 points to the target and adds bleeding damage, causing a loss of 300 points per second.
Cooldown: Ten minutes
Azure Wood Thunder Explosion: Green Item
Item Effect: After use, deals a total of 10 million points of damage to all targets within a radius of one mile centered on Azure Wood Thunder Explosion.
Ling Mo Xie drooled as he learned Fierce Tiger Descends and carefully stored Azure Wood Thunder Explosion in his backpack, humming a tune as he walked towards Tianfeng City.
Upon returning to Tianfeng City, the city gate was still bustling with activity. However, Ling Mo Xie felt that something was off. While he was pondering this, an unfamiliar commoner glanced at him and approached.
Just as Ling Mo Xie was about to ask the commoner what was going on, the bearded man suddenly pulled him into a small alley. Ling Mo Xie instantly became alert. What did this bearded man want from him? But looking at his appearance, he seemed to be at the Spirit Void stage; it was quite shortsighted of him to pick a fight with me.
While Ling Mo Xie was lost in thought, the bearded man cautiously looked around and said to him, "Young Master Ling, you must not return to the Ling family right now!"
"Ah?" Ling Mo Xie was taken aback. What did this bearded man mean? Was he not up to any mischief? But why warn him not to go back to the Ling family?
Seeing Ling Mo Xie's puzzled expression, the bearded man hurriedly explained, "It's like this! Do you remember? You offended that Tian Family Head!"
"Right! So what if I offended him? The competition has already taken place; does he still want something from me? My Ling family isn't afraid of him!" Ling Mo Xie nodded confidently without showing any fear.
The big-bearded man patted his leg and said, "Oh! Your family, the Ling family, naturally doesn't fear a clan like the Tian Family, but this sect of yours is not something you can compare to!"
"Sect?" Ling Mo Xie stroked his chin in confusion, looking at the big-bearded man.
The big-bearded man widened his eyes and leaned closer to Ling Mo Xie, saying, "You have no idea. In the few days you've been away, the Young Lady of the Tian Family, who has been lost for many years, has returned to seek her family. I heard she has joined a nearby sect called the Hundred Flowers Sect under its Sect Leader and is quite favored. Once she learns about her two brothers, won't she come to cause trouble for the Ling residence? I heard that the Young Lady Tian Yuqing even brought along an elder in the Out-of-Body stage!"
"What?" Ling Mo Xie exclaimed. Hmph! The Tian Family really hasn't given up; they want revenge at any opportunity!
The big-bearded man sighed and said, "Now all the neighbors are spreading rumors that the Tianfeng City is going to change, and that the Ling family will be replaced by the Tian Family!"
Ling Mo Xie gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and said softly, "No way! The Tian Family cannot turn things around; they cannot replace the Ling family!"
However, why would this big-bearded man tell him all this? Although he had gained quite a reputation among the common people before leaving, they wouldn't be so enthusiastic towards him. A casual glance revealed a good person title hanging in the System; could it be because of this?
Ling Mo Xie removed the good person title when suddenly a voice came from in front of him: "Huh? Why am I telling Ling Mo Xie all this? Sigh! I should leave quickly to avoid being seen by someone from the Tian Family and getting into trouble." The big-bearded man said this while scratching his head and preparing to leave.
So that's how it is, Ling Mo Xie sighed inwardly and put on the "Good Person" title again. The big-bearded man's attitude immediately changed as he said to Ling Mo Xie, "Come on, let's go hide at my place for now! I'll quietly take you out of the city in the evening!"
Ling Mo Xie's mouth twitched; it must be because of that ten-point favorability rating. But isn't this distinction too great? Is it really that exaggerated?
