155, Spirit Energy Fluctuation

  A white silk scarf rose, and a flash of light passed by. This kind of flying skill in the air made the low-ranking cultivators of the Ye family envy. The other cultivators in Tong'an City felt the pressure of the foundation-building cultivator, and they changed color one after another, until the pressure went far away, before they dared to raise their heads and look around.

  With a wave of his white silk handkerchief, Mo Tian Ge withdrew the oppressive aura that had been emanating from his body after they had left Tong An City some distance behind. The reason he had deliberately displayed the aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator in Tong An City was to intimidate others and let them know that the Ye family had connections with a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so as to prevent themselves from being bullied by others.

  This is the mortal world, where most cultivators are ordinary and have no hope of achieving great things. Their cultivation levels are mostly between one to three layers. A foundation-building cultivator would be enough to intimidate them.

  Zhuge's escape was swift, and the white silk scarf proved to be an excellent flying treasure; in half a day, he had already left Weiguo.

  At the Ye family's place, Ye Cheng gave her some information that the Ye family had collected in the secular world over the years. However, most of the Tianji spiritual veins were concentrated in Kunwu, and even if there were spiritual veins in the secular world, they were extremely weak. Not to mention any opportunities, even some small sects weren't interested. Therefore, Mo Tian Ge didn't plan to go on an adventure to explore the secret lands provided by the Ye family, but only planned to pick some spiritual herbs or find some spiritual objects in certain special places.

  The southeast of the country is Jin State. Mo Tian Ge also planned to take a detour back to Lian Cheng Mo's village, pay respects to his mother, and retrieve her remains, with the opportunity to be buried together with his father in the future.

  At that time, her father fell in the Tianmo Mountains. Qin Shoujing brought back news that he was buried on the spot in the Tianmo Mountains. She had already made up her mind that if she could refine the elixir in the future, when the Tianmo Mountain's seal weakened again, she would go and retrieve her father's remains and bury them with her mother, fulfilling her mother's lifelong wish.

  Incidentally, also inform them of Tian Qiao's death.

  When she was young, she only felt that the home was cold and icy, if not for Tian Qiao's presence, she wouldn't have wanted to stay a single day. Now she is no longer the lonely orphan who lost her parents back then, but a cultivator who can soar through the skies and traverse the earth, thinking back to those days, only a sigh remains.

  Actually, Grandpa and Nainai are not bad people, but for a child, they couldn't provide her with enough affection. She can understand them, but it's also hard for her to get close to them.

  As soon as they entered the territory of Jin State, Mo Tian Ge frowned and changed the direction of flight, swooping towards the northeast.

  Because she felt a strange and unusual spiritual energy fluctuation, unlike the fighting spirit of a cultivator, nor like the oppressive aura of a high-ranking cultivator.

  She hesitated for a moment, then decided to go take a look. The spiritual energy fluctuation wasn't big, just a bit strange. This was the mortal world, so there probably weren't any high-ranking cultivators here. With her current level of cultivation and having several treasures on her, she shouldn't be in any danger.

  The closer they got, the more Heaven's Song's eyebrows furrowed, this spiritual energy was stirring and pure, with a hint of thunderous sounds, could it be that an extraordinary treasure had emerged?

  As she thought of this, she made a hand seal and urged the white silk handkerchief to move forward with all her might. Her divine sense spread out and indeed found that other cultivators were also rushing over quickly. However, these few cultivators were only in the Qi Refining stage, and when they sensed her divine sense, knowing that there was a Foundation Establishment senior present, they immediately slowed down their speed.

  Mó Tiān Gē Yuè Fēi Yuè feels more and more strange, this spiritual energy... seems not to be as close as he thought, he has flown for so long, yet feels that the distance hasn't changed at all.

  Slowly, this spiritual energy movement attracted the attention of more secular cultivators, and after flying for several hours, Mo Tian Ge began to feel that there were foundation-building cultivators joining the pursuit.

  Although the loose cultivators in the mundane world are mostly low-level Qi Refining Cultivators, there are also Foundation Building Cultivators who happen to pass by, and it's possible that they might discover this spiritual energy by chance, just like her, and chase after it.

  These foundation-building monks tacitly kept a distance from each other, yet all flew towards that direction with all their might.

  It's been several hours again, and this spiritual energy movement has finally become somewhat clear. Many foundation-building cultivators are overjoyed and each accelerates their speed.

  Moy Tian Ge's white silk scarf was much better than the flight instruments of these cultivators, but once she found other foundation-building cultivators, she no longer urged it with all her might, and instead kept a roughly equal speed with them. The reason for this was that she had become accustomed to being cautious. With such an unusual movement of spiritual energy, rather than running alone at the front, it was safer to follow these people together. If there really were any strange treasures, just now she swept over and found that these foundation-building cultivators were all in the initial stages, and she did not fear them.

  At this time, they flew closer. The spiritual movement was even more obvious, and Mo Tian Ge knew that the source was not far away.

  Other cultivators' auras were already visible to the naked eye, and there were many people who shared similar thoughts with her. However, they all avoided her. After all, her mid-term peak cultivation was the strongest among these people, and for now, it's better to keep a distance since it's unclear whether she's friend or foe.

  By this time, there were no more Qi Refining cultivators following. Even if some Qi Refining cultivators noticed and flew up midway, they would be suppressed by the pressure of these Foundation Establishment cultivators and eventually give up their pursuit.

  The spiritual energy is becoming clearer, and Mo Tian Ge's divine sense has felt the source of the spiritual energy. At the same time, she also sensed the divine senses of other cultivators, which touched hers in passing.

  Others also saw monks rushing in from other directions.

  She thought for a moment, stepped on the white silk cloth, and suddenly accelerated, leaving all the foundation-building monks who had been following her behind, rushing straight to the source of spiritual energy.

  Seeing her disappear into the white light on the horizon, the foundation-building cultivators who had been flying together for several hours all looked pale. At this speed, they could have been thrown off long ago, it seemed that the fellow daoist earlier was just showing mercy, and now suddenly accelerated. Had he discovered something?

  Thinking of this, several foundation repair masters also sped up and caught up with them.

  Only one of them muttered to himself: "The escaping light is actually white... It seems that this person is not easy to mess with, it's better to slow down."

  The color of the aura, has always been consistent with one's own spiritual root and main cultivation method. Metal is golden in color, Wood is green, Water is blue, Fire is red, Earth is yellow, and those with mixed spiritual roots have auras that are mostly multicolored. It is absolutely impossible for it to be white. A white aura can only occur if the person has a rare five-spiritual-root foundation or cultivates a special type of qigong method. Those who can build a foundation with five spiritual roots have experienced hardships that ordinary people cannot compare to, and those who cultivate special types of qigong methods often have unusual abilities.

  Unfortunately, several other foundation-laying monks, eager to pursue treasure, didn't think of this.

  Others didn't mention it, an hour later, Mo Tian Ge landed on a cliff.

  At this time, a group of monks had gathered on the cliff, including three foundation-building monks and more than ten Qi-refining monks, all with different appearances, but all staring intently at the valley below the cliff.

  The Heavenly Song descended, and several Foundation Establishment cultivators were overjoyed while others were worried. However, more than a dozen Qi Refining cultivators remained indifferent and expressionless.

  "Ah, fellow Taoist!" Mo Tian Ge was still observing the valley's hidden spiritual energy when a white-bearded Daoist from the foundation-building cultivators came forward with a courteous bow.

  Moy Tian Ge had already observed several people in the area. Those Qi-refining cultivators didn't need to be paid much attention, they were probably just ordinary scattered cultivators from the mortal world. There were three Foundation Establishment cultivators: a couple around thirty years old, with an intimate demeanor, seemingly a pair of dual cultivation partners, both at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, without any special features in appearance or clothing. And then there was this Daoist, who had just stood together with the couple, seemingly friends, or perhaps they had already reached a common understanding. This Daoist, however, was at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, with white hair and a youthful face, his cultivation was quite high.

  The other party was so polite, and Mo Tian Ge also returned a courtesy.

  This person had already secretly observed her cultivation, seeing that she still looked like a young girl, yet had such profound cultivation, and was inwardly shocked. In the immortal world, although methods with anti-aging effects were not rare, they weren't something you could find on the streets either. Most wandering cultivators couldn't get their hands on such methods. This person secretly speculated that if Mo Tian Ge's youthful appearance was due to her cultivation method having an anti-aging effect, then it was very likely she was a sect disciple. If not because of her cultivation method, then being so young yet having such profound cultivation would be even more terrifying.

  He politely and respectfully asked: "I am Fang Zheng, how should I address you?"

  Mo Tian Ge's gaze swept around the person, without revealing his true name: "I am Ye Xiao Tian, nice to meet you." After leaving Tai Kang Mountain, she had already changed out of her sect's uniform and was using an alias. She rarely went out in public, so it was unlikely anyone would recognize her.

  "It turned out to be Ye Dao You." Fang Zhengdao nodded his head again and went straight to the point, "Ye Dao You must have discovered that the spiritual energy here is fluctuating, so he rushed over to take a look."

  Moy Tian Ge nodded: "Not bad." Her gaze fell back to the valley below the mountain cliff. No matter how you looked at it, this was not a spiritual vein, and the valley seemed completely ordinary, so why did spiritual energy emerge from it?

  Fang Zhengdao smiled and said: "What a coincidence, I also came over with these two fellow Taoists to take a look."

  "Is that so?" replied Mochen Song faintly. She had already guessed the intention of this person, presumably to invite her to go down the mountain valley together. But this mountain valley seemed to have nothing special about it, why didn't these three foundation-building monks dare to go down?

  Seeing her attitude so cold, Fang Zhengdao's face was slightly embarrassed, but Mo Tiange's cultivation was higher than his, so he endured it: "Ye Daoyou, I and Brother Yao have already checked."

  "Oh?" Mo Tian Ge finally shifted his gaze from the valley to him.

  Fang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Ye Daoyou, isn't it strange that we've stopped here and haven't gone down the valley?"

  Mo Tian Ge nodded. Indeed, the spiritual pressure was not strong, and the three foundation-building cultivators did not move. Those dozen or so Qi-refining cultivators were standing at the edge of the cliff, whispering to each other, but they didn't make any moves to go down, which really made people feel strange.

  "To be honest with you, fellow Taoist, just now I and Brother Yao hurried to this place together, and then we each went down the valley. Who knew that the poisonous air and whirlwind in the valley were extremely fierce? We could withstand one but not two, so in the end we had no choice but to come back up."

  "Miasma and gale?" Mo Tian Ge was somewhat surprised. If it were miasma and gale, why would the spiritual energy be so gentle? Although there was a faint sound of wind and thunder, it was calm and peaceful, logically speaking, there shouldn't be any harmful miasma and gale.

  Fang Zhengdao looked at her expression and smiled bitterly: "If Ye Daoyou doesn't believe it, he can go down and take a look himself."

  A flash of surprise crossed his face, and Mo Tian Ge had already regained his composure, saying: "No need to explain, I suppose a fellow Taoist wouldn't deceive me."

  "Not bad, *** , this is the truth."

  She had just finished speaking when a man named "Brother Yao" walked over from the other side, and the woman smiled and continued to speak.

  The woman was dressed as a married woman, about 27 or 28 years old, charming and elegant, with a smile in her eyebrows and eyes. Her tone of voice was soft but straightforward when speaking, giving people a very good impression.

  The woman finished speaking, and the male cultivator beside her furrowed his brow, saying somewhat helplessly: "Wan Mei, this young lady's cultivation is higher than both of ours, how can you casually call her ***? It's too impolite." As he spoke, he turned to apologize to Mo Tian Ge with a cupped fist, "Ye Daoist friend, I'm truly sorry, my wife speaks directly and quickly, without any intention of offending."

  The man finished speaking, and Mo Tian Ge hadn't responded yet. The woman then said with a scowl: "Xiu Ge, don't rush to apologize for me. I bet you, this guy really is..."

  The conversation between the couple has another layer of meaning. The man reminds his wife that the cultivation of the other woman is higher than theirs, and she may be older than them, so he tells her to be careful not to offend her, but saying a woman's age directly would also be impolite, so he doesn't say it explicitly. The woman understands her husband's intention, so she answers with emphasis on being polite.

  The woman said so, her husband asked in puzzlement: "How can you be so sure?"

  The woman just smiled: "This is a woman's intuition." She walked over, warmly held Mo Tian Ge's hand and asked, "Is what I said right or not?"

  Mo Tian Ge also laughed: "How old is this unknown couple? If you don't tell me, I won't be able to answer either."

  The woman was taken aback, covering her mouth to laugh: "Look at me, I've actually forgotten something so important! This year my husband and I are just barely a hundred years old."

  Looking at their age, they should be around a hundred years old. At the beginning of their cultivation, Mo Tian Ge secretly thought that this couple was probably not a small sect cultivator, but a loose cultivator. If they were from a large sect, they would likely be ordinary disciples.

  It is known that the elite disciples of the Dà Mén Pài sect often lay their foundations early on. Although few have formed elixirs, it's no problem for them to reach the middle stage of foundation building at this age. Few remain in the initial stage of foundation building at this age.

  "This sister guessed correctly." Mo Tian Ge smiled slightly, "My age is just a bit younger than the two of you."

  "Oh?" Not just this couple, but also Fang Zhengdao's eyes lit up. Less than a hundred years old, yet with the cultivation of the mid-term foundation...

  I won't say more about this matter for now. Let's change the subject: "What is the situation with this mountain valley, and how much do you three know about it?"

  Fang Zhengdao came back to his senses and immediately replied: "I, along with Brother Yao, discovered that the miasma and gale were impassable, so we joined hands, but the result was still the same... Fellow Daoist, you see, this spiritual energy is not intense, but it's extremely pure. It's likely that some extraordinary treasure has emerged. If we miss it, it would be a real pity!"

  "Not bad, my husband and I were thinking the same thing." The woman took over the conversation, "I see you're young and your cultivation is already so high, you must be a sect disciple. We three are loose cultivators, it's not easy to encounter a rare treasure. If you're also interested in the treasure, we can work together to think of a way. If you don't want to take risks, we won't stop you. Of course, if you think you can do it alone, then just forget about our proposal."
