Chapter 1076 - : The Wastelands (1/2)

The mayor of Muhong City had perished in battle and large numbers of Muhong City cultivators had escaped in all directions. The Yingyun City crisis was finally over. After this war, there would most likely be very few people who would dare to set their eyes on Yingyun City.

Three days later, on a watchtower in Yingyun City…

It was drizzling and everywhere one looked, it was misty as though they were in a painting.

“Brother Mo Wen, won’t you stay a few more days in Yingyun City?”

Huai Hongxiu and a group of Yingyun City cultivators were sending Mo Wen off. Since the crisis was over, Mo Wen naturally would not continue staying in Yingyun City.

“I have other matters at hand, so I won’t be disturbing you any longer,” Mo Wen said calmly.

There was a look of disappointment in Huai Hongxiu’s eyes. However, she did not say anymore. She retrieved a sachet on a plate that the servant maid beside her was holding and gracefully presented it to Mo Wen.

“This was the sachet that my father brought back previously. The token is also inside. Now, it has returned to its rightful owner,” Huai Hongxiu said.

Mo Wen received the sachet. His deified soul scanned the insides of the sachet. This token was proof that he had completed his task.

A look of surprise flashed past in his eyes. The sachet was a storage treasure. Not only was there a token inside, but there was also a large number of vital stones. These vital stones piled up to form a small mountain. There were more than four million of them.

Vital stones were immortal cultivation resources that were beneficial to all immortal cultivators. Compared to spiritual stones, the effects of vital stones were much better. These stones were rare objects in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm because there was very little Vital Qi created in the Source World; vital pulses were basically extinct there. The Huatian Palace might control a few vital pulses but it was impossible for other sects to have access to them.

Currently, in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, all cultivators used spiritual stones to cultivate.

“Miss Huai…” Mo Wen looked at Huai Hongxiu. So many vital stones were a huge fortune. He never imagined that Yingyun City could actually produce so many vital stones. As expected, they were not just your average kind of wealthy. No wonder the mayor of Muhong City longed for this city so much.

“Brother Mo Wen, this is a small token of appreciation from our Yingyun City. Our Yingyun City owes you a life-saving debt. We truly do not know how to repay your kindness,” Huai Hongxiu said with a smile.

Presenting Mo Wen with so many vital stones was a unanimous decision that she and the upper echelons of the Yingyun City came up with after discussion. Although vital stones were precious, it was not a pity for them to give the stones to Mo Wen. To be able to befriend such a cultivator like Mo Wen was the good fortune of their Yingyun City. Moreover, aside from vital stones, there was indeed nothing else that their Yingyun City could offer him. Any treasure they had was most likely worthless before this youth.

“Rescuing Yingyun City was just me fulfilling a promise I made before. You do not need to give me these,” Mo Wen said calmly.

“Big Brother Mo Wen, please keep our gift. It will be awkward for us if you don’t accept it,” the Huai Clan second young mistress said very directly, not mincing words. She did not know how old Mo Wen was, but with his level of cultivation being so high, he must be older than her. In the Immortal Cultivation world, those with achievements held seniority.

The upper echelon members of Yingyun City also advised Mo Wen to accept their gift. Their Yingyun City still had some vital stones. It was because there was a vital pulse on Yingyun Island. This was also the reason why the mayor of Muhong City coveted Yingyun City.

Mo Wen sighed deeply. He then nodded his head and said, “If that is so, let me also give you a gift.”

As he said this, he took out a storage sack from his medicine spiritual ring and placed some things in the sack. However, he did not let other people see what the items were. He merely handed it over to Huai Hongxiu.

Huai Hongxiu subconsciously accepted the storage sack. Her deified soul scanned its insides. Her expression suddenly changed drastically. She exclaimed, “Spiritual…”

She had uttered this one word when she suddenly realized something, immediately swallowing the rest of her sentence. Only her eyes kept revealing looks of astonishment. It was as though she had seen something that she had never even dreamt of.

Spiritual Transforming Pearls!

There were actually the Spiritual Transforming Pearls of legend. These items were legendary items in the various realms. They were rather rare. Cultivators of her level only heard rumors about them but had never actually seen them before.

Spiritual Transforming Pearls contained pristine Creation Qi which could be refined into the Power of Creation of Heaven and Earth. Normally, Huai Hongxiu would not even dare to think of items of this caliber.

“Brother Mo Wen, this… I cannot accept this gift. It is too precious.”

The hand that Huai Hongxiu held the storage sack with was trembling slightly. It was just a storage sack that was as light as a feather, but right now, it gave her pressure equivalent to that of a mountain. If word of the Spiritual Transforming Pearls got out, just one was enough to plunge the entire Ziya Territorial Waters into a bloodbath. In the storage sack in her hands, there were five Spiritual Transforming Pearls.

“There is no reason for me to take back what I have already given away. This item should be very important for you right now. It’s getting late. Farewell.”

Mo Wen calmly left behind these words. With a flash, his silhouette became a beam of flowing light that disappeared into the horizon. With a few flickers, he had disappeared from their sight.

For Mo Wen, he had so many Spiritual Transforming Pearls to the point that he was already numb to them. Giving Huai Hongxiu five of them was nothing. If it was someone close to him, he would have given them hundreds, even thousands of Spiritual Transforming Pearls. Right now, for Huai Hongxiu, the Spiritual Transforming Pearls were indeed rather important. Although Yingyun City had overcome their crisis and there would most likely not be any invasions in the immediate future, their peace was not assured in the long run.

After all, Yingyun Island had vital pulses. Countless people would have their sights on them. If Yingyun City had no Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators to hold the fort, sooner or later there would be others like the mayor of Muhong City who would invade them.

Huai Hongxiu was only a step away from the Supreme Profundity Realm. With the Spiritual Transforming Pearls’ Power of Creation, as long as her qualifications were not too shabby, she could most likely use them to break through to the Supreme Profundity Realm in one shot.

Only by reaching the Supreme Profundity Realm could she guarantee that Yingyun City could be peaceful for a long time.

Huai Hongxiu gazed in silence in the direction that Mo Wen disappeared into. She did not say anything for a long while.
