Chapter 1048 - Ten Years Later (2/2)

Since Mo Wen was leaving, she would not be prepared to stay in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension any longer either. Although only 10 years had passed on the outside, she had been cultivating in the Junior Master’s Pagoda for far too long, and she sometimes wondered if she was still a young girl. But, thinking about it carefully, she realized she did not actually change very much at all.

Mo Wen hesitated for a beat, then nodded. “It’s a dangerous world, Wan’er, so you have to be extra careful once you’re out there. I can’t protect you all the time.”

It was true that Wan’er should head out to learn through experience. No strong person in the world had grown under the shelter of a mentor, and every cultivator had their own path to walk. Besides, Mo Wen knew that Wan’er had dreamed of traveling the world and helping people with her expertise in medicine since she was a child. After a century of learning the art, Wan’er finally had that ability.

“I’ve prepared some things for you. Take these.”

Mo Wen fished out an intricate bangle for Su Wan’er, which was a storage treasure. Mo Wen had seen this day coming for a long time, so he had prepared in an advance a gift to mark the end of her apprenticeship.

In the storage bangle was a pill scripture, and Mo Wen had penned its contents by consolidating Ji Wuya’s legacy with his own experience. It contained alchemy techniques, alchemy experiences, pills, and secret recipes. It was a rather comprehensive collection and worth quite a lot.

Other than that, there was a scroll containing his personal experience and what he had learned, to guide Su Wan’er in her cultivation and enable her path of cultivation to be as straightforward as possible.

There were also a few treasures, like a spiritual treasure-grade divine sword, and a spiritual treasure-grade alchemy furnace.

Mo Wen had personally headed to the Huatian Palace to ask Nie Junxue to help him concoct these two items.

There were few people in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm who could concoct spiritual treasures, and the only one who Mo Wen knew was Nie Junxue. If not for Wan’er, he would not have sought Nie Junxue out. After all, he owed her a favor now. He might have saved her life, but that debt had been thoroughly repaid when Nie Wuxin had cultivated in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension for a hundred years. Now that he had sought Nie Junxue out, he owed her favor.

In the storage bangle, there were also other items like spiritual stones, spiritual pills, spiritual talismans, stratagem flags. Items like these were frequently used in the Immortal Cultivation World.

“You can head to all the other immortal realms but try to avoid going to the Peng Lai Immortal Realm,” Mo Wen instructed. He had a lot of enemies in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, and those sects would be able to find out just who Su Wan’er was with a little bit of digging, so she would most likely be in danger if she ran to the Peng Lai Immortal Realm.

“I understand.”

Su Wan’er gripped the intricate bangle, her gaze conveying how moved she was by his gesture.

After she took her leave, Mo Wen prepared to leave as well. His 10 years were almost up and it was time for him to head towards the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield.

Two beautiful figures appeared on the mountain that Mo Wen had been cultivating on. They were the current palace lords of the Ming Palace, Wang Yinru and Pei Fengwu.

“Mo Wen, both of our cultivation have reached the pinnacle of the great attainment of the Primordial Soul Realm, so can we start absorbing the Spiritual Transforming Pearls now?”

The two of them looked towards Mo Wen expectantly. Ever since they had known about the Spiritual Transforming Pearls, both of them had been thinking about absorbing the pearls every day, hoping to become like Gu Jingman.

“Your foundations are still too shallow, now is not the right time.” Mo Wen shook his head.

Wang Yinru and Pei Fengwu could achieve their level of cultivation partly because of the mysteries of the Junior Master’s Pagoda, but also because he had poured all his effort into nurturing them. However, this sort of nurturing only helped raise their cultivation at a rapid rate and did not make sure their foundations were stable. If they absorbed the Spiritual Transforming Pearls now, it would not be of much help to them.

“Why not? Gu Jingman absorbed the Spiritual Transforming Pearls when she was at the great attainment of the Primordial Soul Realm, did she not?” Pei Fengwu asked, a little displeased.

“That’s right. Did Sister Gu Jingman not improve by leaps and bounds at the great attainment of the Primordial Soul Realm, and ended up being reborn? Wang Yinru huffed lightly.

“The two of you are in a different situation from her.”

Mo Wen chuckled bitterly. The two of them wanted to compare themselves with Gu Jingman, but they did not know just how far behind from her they were. Her foundation had already been firm enough, and they were simply too far behind her.

Of course, this was not something he could simply say to them, else a riot might break out. During this period of quiet cultivation, the two of them had not been as polite to him as they used to. No matter how you spun it, he was still a huge benefactor of theirs and had helped them very much. However, not only were they not thankful to him now, but their attitude toward him was also becoming increasingly vicious. Were they for real?

If they were somebody else, they would not even have had the right to train in the Junior Master’s Pagoda, much less continue to be painstakingly nurtured by him like this.

“How are we different? We can do what Gu Jingman does. Whatever, I want to absorb the Spiritual Transforming Pearls now,” Pei Fengwu said insistently.

“That’s right. The two of us are no worse than Gu Jingman. Besides, once we absorb the Spiritual Transforming Pearls, we’ll be able to break through to the Tide Changing Realm and we can accompany you to the Ancestral Sorcerer Battlefield…”

All of a sudden, Wang Yinru realized that she had said too much, and shut her mouth immediately. But she remained as resolute as ever, insisting on absorbing the Spiritual Transforming Pearls now.
