Chapter 1018 - : Crisis Lingers (1/2)
Looking at the several-meter-tall pile of stones on the ground, Mo Qingge was stunned and went speechless for a good long while.
Mo Qingge looked at Mo Wen. “Mo Wen, you…”
What had happened? Had Mo Wen ransacked the entire Creation Pool? Spiritual Transforming Pearls were treasures that were not often seen, even back in the Ancient Age. Though Creation Pool could create such treasures, they were not easy to get. Even the Ancient Age Creation Sect could not obtain them so easily.
Yet, there were at least 10,000 Spiritual Transforming Pearls in the pile before her!
“I have reaped benefits during this trip to the Creation Pool. I’ve also obtained a few Spiritual Transforming Stones. These Spiritual Transforming Stones are all for you. If these aren’t enough, just come find me and I’ll give you more,” Mo Wen said.
He had only taken out a quarter of the Spiritual Transforming Stones he’d obtained. It wasn’t that he was reluctant to give Mo Qingge more, but rather the shock of seeing so many Spiritual Transforming Stones would be too much for her. Even seeing a quarter of it was rather alarming.
Mo Qingge managed to respond after a long pause. She raised her eyebrows, her expression changing. Green light burst out from her body and enveloped the surrounding thousand meters.
“Mo Wen, quickly put these Spiritual Transforming Stones away. You have been too careless.”
If others knew that he had so many Spiritual Transforming Stones, it would certainly cause a disturbance in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. If people in the Huatian Palace knew about the stones, they might get greedy and spare no effort to rob him of them.
Now was not the time to investigate how Mo Wen had obtained so many Spiritual Transforming Stones. Instead, they needed to try their best to make sure no one else found out about it.
Spiritual Transforming Stones were also called Creation Stones, or Spiritual Transforming Pearls. They contained pure Creation Qi inside them – the essence of Creation Qi. If one had enough Creation Stones, even without entering Creation Pool, they too could cultivate the Light of Creation.
Mo Wen smiled indifferently, seemingly unconcerned about any potential thefts. Others had to first be capable of snatching his things from him. There were, in all likelihood, very few people in the Source World that could make him cautious.
“You keep them. I intended to give them to you from the start. I still have more,” Mo Wen replied.
Mo Qingge gave Mo Wen a searching look and said nothing more. With a wave of her hand, she kept one-fifth of the Creation Stones away. She left the rest untouched.
“This is enough,” Mo Qingge said plainly. With just that one-fifth, she now possessed more than two thousand Spiritual Transforming Stones. She owed Mo Wen a huge debt of gratitude. Initially, it would have been of great help if Mo Wen could obtain just one Spiritual Transforming Stone for her, yet now she had been given more than two thousand.
With so many Spiritual Transforming Stones, she need not be worried about the Massacre’s Host acting up again for a thousand years.
Seeing that Mo Qingge would not take the rest, Mo Wen hesitated for a bit, before keeping away the rest of the Spiritual Transforming Stones. A person like Mo Qingge would not accept any more than was necessary from others.
“I still have quite a few Spiritual Transforming Stones. If you need them in the future, you can find me anytime to get more,” he reiterated. Mo Wen had obtained more than sixty thousand Spiritual Transforming Stones from the bottom of the ocean of creation. Of course, no one would complain about having too many such treasures. Even for Mo Wen, Spiritual Transforming Stones were very useful.
“A man’s wealth is his ruin when it causes the greed of others. You should know this. A single Spiritual Transforming Stone appearing in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm would already cause a stir. Likely even the lords of Huatian Palace will not be unaffected. In the future, don’t just take out Spiritual Transforming Stones like that again.”
Mo Qingge knew Mo Wen could see reason once she explained things. She was afraid that he did not understand the severity of the situation. The value of a single Spiritual Transforming Stone was incalculable. If he casually brought out a few thousand, or even a few hundred Spiritual Transforming Stones in the future, he would certainly cause a commotion.
Mo Qingge did not want to know how many Spiritual Transforming Stones Mo Wen obtained from Creation Pool. Reluctantly, however, she estimated that he had obtained no small number. Before this, two thousand Spiritual Transforming Stones were unbelievable for her, indeed unimaginable, let alone saying that she would ever obtain that amount one day.
“Understood.” Mo Wen was not stupid. He understood immediately when Mo Qingge told him this that Spiritual Transforming Stones were most likely a rarity outside.
“You know, I’ve always been very interested in how you came to the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. Have you found an entrance that our Huatian Palace is unaware of?”
Mo Qingge stared at Mo Wen, curious. There were many entrances to the Peng Lai Immortal Realm – most of them guarded by the Huatian Palace. The remaining handful of entrances were guarded by heretic organizations, such as Hades Mountain, or Demonic Sky. Of course, since the Peng Lai Immortal Realm was a remnant space from the Ancient Age, it contained many secrets. It was not unheard of to know entrances that others didn’t.
Mo Wen’s sudden arrival in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm was not recorded by the Huatian Palace. He could be said to be an illegal immigrant. If Mo Qingge had not helped Mo Wen to settle the matter, he would most likely have been seized by the Huatian Palace for investigation.
“It’s a secret!” Mo Wen said after pondering for a moment. The entrance that he used was directly connected to his hometown. He didn’t want that place to be defiled by others. Besides, that place was rather mysterious. Mo Wen had theorized that it was likely located in the Heavenly Ruins.
“Since you don’t want to answer, I shall not press you.” Mo Qingge nodded and changed the topic. Moving on, she said plainly, “Next time when you come to the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, it would be better for you to report your arrival, and use the entrances guarded by the Huatian Palace. Should you continue to appear so unexpectedly in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, you will draw the attention of the upper echelons of the Huatian Palace.”
