Medicine King Summit.
This was the only summit in the Formless Blade Sect without 'sword' in it's name. It was also the summit that Yan Qianyin was staying in. It's said that the the Medicine King Summit used to be blossomed with spiritual ingredients. However, after time, it became like the other summits, where the spiritual ingredients were planted by the cultivators.
When Mo Wuji entered the foot of the Medicine King Mountain, he was immediately stopped. It was an ingredient girl who wasn't even 20 years old.
”Greetings junior apprentice sister, I'm Mo Wuji from the Lotus Sword Summit. I've specially come to see senior apprentice sister Yan. Please help me inform here.” Mo Wuji knew that in the entire Formless Blade Sect, only his Lotus Sword Summit was without defences. It wasn't because he didn't need it, but because he didn't have the power to install any.
”So it's Lotus Sword Summit's senior apprentice brother Mo. Before Pill Master Yan left, she told me that senior apprentice brother Mo can directly come in. Please feel free to bring Yan'Er back.” The ingredient girl hurried and bowed.
Mo Wuji could not help but be disappointed, as he quickly asked, ”Senior apprentice sister is not here?”
Besides coming to fetch Yan'Er, Mo Wuji also came to ask Yan Qianyin about the Lotus Sword Summit. Naturally, it was to ask about the Treasured Blood Lotus.
”Senior apprentice sister has been invited to take part in the Pill Refiner's Exchange. Senior apprentice brother can follow me to the guest room to rest,” the ingredient girl said politely.
Since Yan Qianyin wasn't at the Medicine King Summit, Mo Wuji did not intend to waste time at the Medicine King Summit. He immediately said, ”Many thanks junior apprentice sister. I will just be fetching Yan'Er. I will visit again when senior apprentice sister Yan returns.”
”Of course. Please wait for a moment.” Clearly, the ingredient girl had already received instructions from Yan Qianyin. With that sentence, she hurried in.
Mo Wuji only waited for a few minutes before the ingredient girl returned with Yan'Er and Xiong Xiuzhu. At the same time, she was carrying a huge package on her back.
”Before she left, senior apprentice sister Yan instructed me to pass this to senior apprentice brother Mo,” The ingredient girl passed the package to Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji did not need to open the package to smell the herbal aroma. He guessed that this should be the Tier 3 spiritual ingredients which Yan Qianyin promised him.
Since he could no longer open any meridians, these spiritual ingredients really came at the right time. He couldn't cultivate, so he could use these spiritual herbs to improve his pill refining level. Mo Wuji was extremely grateful towards Yan Qianyin.
In reality, even if he did not pass her the Revolving Star Passage Technique, he could not have kept it. To view this from another perspective, Yan Qianyin had helped him by protecting him from being questioned. Even still, she maintained her promise and passed him a batch of Tier 3 spiritual ingredients.
...
After he returned to the Lotus Sword Summit, Mo Wuji did not immediately pen to package to see his spiritual herbs. Instead, he immediately rushed to the sect's Scripture Library.
Mo Wuji did not come to see the cultivation manuals; hiswas more than enough for him. Regarding skills, he wasn't even qualified to view them. Moreover, he also had this Invisible Sword skill in addition to his Revolving Star Passage Technique.
He came primarily to investigate about the Lotus Sword Summit. To concoct the upgraded channel opening solution, he needed higher graded ingredients. He had already gotten his hands on all of them, except the Treasured Blood Lotus. In the Formless Blade Sect, Guan Li was the one who cultivated Treasured Blood Lotuses. Naturally, Mo Wuji hoped that he could find out more about the Treasured Blood Lotus or Guan Li from the sect's manuals.
What disappointed Mo Wuji was that after spending an entire day and sweeping through countless of books, he only learnt that Elder Guan Li used to reside at the Lotus Sword Summit. He did not manage to find out about anything else.
However, Mo Wuji wasn't disheartened. He decided to ask Fei Bingzhu instead. Fei Bingzhu spent a much longer time than him in Formless Blade Sect; he should have a deeper understanding about the Lotus Sword Summit.
