Both individuals understood the significance of this matter clearly, especially since Sikong Yan of Cangyan Daoist Palace was still in pursuit. Once he learned that Immortal Xuan You’s life was nearing its end, everyone would undoubtedly target the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect.
"Also, the matter of your Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment must not be disclosed to anyone, or else the entire Taiqing Sect would face a catastrophic disaster!" Mo Xingjian solemnly warned once again.
Zhou Qing nodded repeatedly.
Yan Xiaohu looked at Zhou Qing with envy, thinking that if he hadn’t fallen, and could successfully condense the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Nascent Soul, then advancing to the Spirit Severing Realm would be a matter of certainty.
But now, he was extremely vulnerable. Not only would the surrounding four major sects be a threat, but also countless forces across the Holy Martial Dynasty, the Eight Prefectures, and the Seventy-Two Mansions would seek to eliminate such a person swiftly in the cradle.
If they can’t obtain it, they destroy it—this is human nature!
"Master, how should I explain this? Within about a month, a new Golden Core will likely form," Zhou Qing expressed his concern.
Mo Xingjian smiled lightly: "Don’t worry, leave it to me. During your free time, you can practice this."
Then Mo Xingjian rummaged in his Storage Bag for quite some time before retrieving a dusty scroll from an unknown corner.
"This contains a Divine Technique named ’Void Realm Dharma Aspect.’ After mastering it, a phantom cultivation appearance will form on your body surface, while your true cultivation inside will be enveloped by a strong Spiritual Shield, isolating external detection."
"Compared to the Turtle Breath Skills you practice, this technique is on another level. Even a Divinity Transformation Realm expert might not be able to detect it upon close contact. The drawback, however, is its high difficulty in cultivation," Mo Xingjian explained.
Zhou Qing’s eyes brightened, eagerly accepting the scroll.
Perhaps, he could give it a try.
"Master, there’s something else. The Hall Master Gu Tao from the Task Hall, it was done by Senior Brother Gao Xuan!"
After receiving the scroll, Zhou Qing quickly remembered something else and hurriedly spoke.
Mo Xingjian’s pupils shrank upon hearing this.
"Why do you say that?" Mo Xingjian asked hastily.
Even Yan Xiaohu looked at Zhou Qing in disbelief.
Zhou Qing replied, "Just a guess."
"A guess?" Mo Xingjian frowned, quickly adding, "Third Brother told me everything about your trip to Golden Sun Peak. Senior Brother Gao Xuan’s words were actually expressing dissatisfaction through you, but that alone isn’t grounds for suspicion."
Reluctantly, Zhou Qing said, "My nose is quite sensitive. That day, I saw an emptied small jar on his desk, emitting a familiar scent. This scent, I had previously noticed on Hall Master Gu Tao. Afterward, I researched some ancient texts and can basically confirm it belongs to the Soul-Devouring Golden Silkworm."
"Soul-Devouring Golden Silkworm? Are you sure?" Mo Xingjian asked in shock.
Zhou Qing nodded. Now, the only secrets remaining on him were the system and the Token from the Divine Ruins Celestial Palace; almost everything else had been disclosed.
He had already shared everything regarding Heavenly Dao Qi, Immortal Xuan You, Second Uncle, and the old hen.
If some things couldn’t be untangled by himself, he might as well come up with a reason and have the Master investigate.
Zhou Qing said, "One hundred percent sure, but why he did it is still unknown."
Mo Xingjian turned his back, walking back and forth in the room with a furrowed brow.
Then he looked at Zhou Qing and smiled bitterly, thinking how this child always presented them with challenges.
[Heart Mirror Points +9]
Soon, the text above Mo Xingjian’s head changed from "My poor fourth son" to "Pupil with a freakishly sharp nose."
Seeing this, Zhou Qing was dumbfounded.
