175 Spiritual Energy (1/2)

As for why he did not start a fight with the two husky fellows guarding the mountain path, Mo Wen had his own considerations. He did not know about the Changtian sect. It was not rational for the current him to provoke a sect.

After all, he wasn't here to contest strengths. He was only here to find spiritual medicine.

If he could stealthily steal the spiritual medicine away and also not make enemies with a strong sect, it would be a desirable outcome.

He quietly scaled the cliff, approaching the mountain from a dense part of the forest. Everywhere he looked, he saw lush green, followed by the sound of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

Impressively, Mo Wen discovered that atop White Rock Peak, there was actually the faint presence of spiritual energy in the air. The spiritual energy was thin, but clearly present.

He had practiced the Cultivation Practice Method before, so he was was more sensitive to spiritual energy than normal people. Before, when he was wandering around in the Changbai Mountain Range, although he had discovered the presence of spiritual energy in a few areas, they were all only confined to a small area.

But on White Rock Peak, the whole peak felt like it was enveloped in spiritual energy.

That sensation was as though Mo Wen had returned once more to his previous world. Since he had entered the dream again, he discovered that the world's spiritual energy was very thin. Modern cities basically were void of any spiritual energy. As for the mountains, the spiritual energy was thin and it was hard to find its presence.

For cultivators, spiritual energy was the basis of all things. Without spiritual energy, they could not achieve anything.

This was the reason why Mo Wen knew a few common Cultivation Practice Methods, but did not practice Cultivation. It was because based on what he knew, he did not have the fundamental conditions to practice Cultivation.

But on White Rock Peak, he could clearly feel the presence spiritual energy. Although it paled in comparison with the peaks in the mysterious foggy mountains, it was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.

With spiritual energy, it meant that in the future, Cultivation had become a possibility. If there was spiritual energy atop White Rock Peak, naturally it was possible for other places to have it as well. Places that were suitable for Cultivation could very possibly exist too.

No wonder the Changtian sect had occupied the entire peak, claiming White Rock Peak as its own. Based on the fact that there was spiritual energy atop White Rock Peak, he knew that the peak surely had spiritual medicine growing about, and that their numbers would not be few.

Aside from that, places with spiritual energy brought great benefits for the growth of normal medicinal herbs.

White Rock Peak was most likely a medicine mountain, so that was why it was so prized by the Changtian sect.

Mo Wen's mood got pumped up. Spiritual medicines were what he needed the most now. If he could find some spiritual medicine on White Rock Peak, it would be immeasurably beneficial for his practice.

Unfortunately, after he went around White Rock Peak once, he discovered many precious medicinal herbs, but did not come across any spiritual medicine.

Although he had obtained quite a few precious medicinal herbs, he could not help but feel slightly disappointed for not seeing any spiritual medicine.

However, the spiritual energy on White Rock Peak was still rather thin, so growing spiritual medicine was not such a simple thing. Even if occasionally a few stalks grew, they would most likely have been marked by the people from the Changtian sect and harvested.

He discovered that on top of White Rock Peak, there were many places where people were hiding. They all wore the same standard garb, crouching as they guarded some areas. If it wasn't for Mo Wen's strong sense of perception that made him able to detect these hidden figures early, he would have been discovered instantly.

”Such a tight guard.”

Mo Wen's eyes flashed past a glint of surprise. Based on what he knew, atop of White Rock Peak alone, there were no less than two hundred people hidden. Even without counting the people in the other areas, he had already discovered so many.

Some of them even had Sea of Qi realm cultivation. The weaker ones were also of the Regulated Breathing realm.

”The Changtian Sect sure is grand!”

Mo Wen slightly squinted his eyes. They were deep in thought. For so many people to be lurking atop White Rock Peak, what exactly were they planning to do?

Or, what were they guarding?

Could it be the Flame Flower?

Mo Wen still remembered the old man dressed in black saying that the Flame Flower would mature within these two days before he died.

For the Changtian Sect to send so many people to guard the area, it was most likely to prevent others from stealing the Flame Flower. The old man dressed in black obviously knew of this, so he had instigated Mo Wen to come over and find the Flame Flower.

Mo Wen touched his chin. If that was so, then obtaining the Flame Flower would be troublesome.

What he found strange was that since the Changtian Sect had so tightly guarded the Flame Flower, how did the old man dressed in black know the approximate location of the Flame Flower?

He took out the map, and compared the location of the Flame Flower marked on it, He discovered that the flower was not on the peak, but was half way up the mountainside, in a valley on the north face of White Rock Peak.

The map shouldn't be fake. It was impossible for the old man dressed in black to create a fake map to trick him beforehand, knowing that it would end up in Mo Wen's hands.

So the position of the Flame Flower marked on the map shouldn't be wrong.

Mo Wen's eyes lit up as he quietly made his way to the valley on the north face.

No matter what happened, he had to go over and take a look. The value of the Flame Flower was too high; it was impossible for him to easily give it up.

If he let a spiritual medicine like the Flame Flower end up in the hands of the common sects, it would be a tremendous waste of such a divine item.

The common sects would usually use the precious spiritual medicine to concoct pills, but they knew nothing about alchemy. Naturally, the pills that they concocted could not be of any good, wasting the value of the spiritual medicine.

But the alchemists in the sects of the martial art circles had no idea that they were ruining such precious items, feeling elated that they managed to concoct pills with some effects.
