Chapter 77: Wanxiang Arrives
The time of cultivation passed quickly. The moonlight was drawn from the sky to the pond in the back mountain and continuously seeped into Jiang Mo's body. His muscles became transparent and crystal clear. With every breath, his flesh and blood and tendons were being washed and polished by the Qi flow.

As the moon sets, purple air comes from the east.

The essence of the daytime sun was also taken into Jiang Mo's body. His heart resonated with it, vibrating at a special frequency, pushing his body to a perfect state. Vigorous vitality burst out, and his blood flowed like a surging river throughout his limbs and bones.

When the whole mountain was golden and the sun was about to set, footsteps came closer from afar. Jiang Mo opened his eyes and raised his head slightly. Seeing that it was Lu Jin coming, he asked:

"What's the matter?"

"Uncle Master, Mr. Liu from the inn and his friend, the head of the Wanxiang Hall, are waiting inside the gate to see you. I came to let you know."

"it is good."

Jiang Mo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and wanted to see what kind of strange person the leader of Wanxiang Hall was.

He suddenly stopped practicing his profound skills, and stood up and walked down Qingyan.

Lu Jin followed him and discovered something strange. He vaguely felt that his uncle seemed to have undergone a transformation. His aura became extremely restrained, like an ordinary person. His body became lighter and his steps were silent. He no longer had the sharp majesty he had before.

When the two arrived at Siming Palace, Si Chong and Cheng really received four guests who came from afar. Except for Liu Wei, who they knew, all other faces were strangers.

The man sitting in the wheelchair had a pale face and thin body. He was wearing an old black gown and looked mentally exhausted. His voice was a little low and hoarse.

Accompanying him were two disciples from the Wanxiang Hall. They were respectful young men with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. They were handsome and had a dignified bearing.
The graceful lady at the side was wearing a frost blue dress, with her black hair tied up high. Her face was pretty and elegant. Her dark, clear eyes were looking at the two people who walked into the hall with a hint of curiosity.

"Master Jiang, please forgive me for the intrusion of your visit."

Liu Wei quickly stood up to greet him and said warmly:
"Come, let me introduce you. This is my old friend - Ji Yuqian."

"Master of Wanxiang Hall!"

"Old Ji, this is the head of the Jiang Clan, Jiang Mo, who kept his promise to you."

With his natural and casual approach, the few of them soon started chatting.

"Master Jiang, it's an honor to meet you for the first time."

Ji Yuqian raised his skinny right hand and shook hands with Jiang Mo.

"It is my honor that you have come all the way to visit Trinity Gate."

Jiang Mo responded politely.

During the conversation, Jiang Mo learned that the brother and sister who accompanied Master Ji were his direct disciples. The skills they had learned were half as good as their master's and they were extremely talented.

After a few simple pleasantries, Ji Yuqian got to the point. He looked ashamed and his hoarse voice seemed to lack confidence:

"You have fulfilled your previous agreement with Headmaster Jiang, but Ji is terrified, fearing that you may have to break your promise."

"I am not a skilled person, and without the help of the Wanxiang Pool, I cannot calculate the specific location of those people."

"It's okay. I'm mentally prepared. After all, that old vicious woman from Southern Xinjiang is not a simple person."

Jiang Mo picked up the teapot beside him, poured tea into the two guests' cups until they were 70% full, and then lightly pushed with his index finger and passed it to them.

"We are using the hexagrams to infer the good or bad luck of her position. Maybe she has some means of evasion. It is normal to be blocked for the time being."

"Having said that, you are kindhearted for not pursuing the matter, but I cannot remain indifferent. I still have to observe the proper etiquette."

As soon as he said this, before he could say anything else, the young man behind him presented a square wooden box with both hands. His bright eyes were filled not only with gratitude, but also admiration and respect.

"Master Jiang, this is a small gift from our Wanxiang Hall. I beg you to accept it."

"Put it here." Jiang Mo did not refuse the other party's kindness.

Then, Ji Yuqian continued, "Master Jiang's efforts to exorcise demons have already made him famous. You have uprooted Quan Xing, and Old Ghost Han died as a result. On behalf of Wanxiang Hall, I would like to express my highest gratitude to you."

"It's just a small favor, Master Ji, there's no need to mention it. You're welcome."

Jiang Mo didn't take it to heart. To him, regardless of whether there was such an agreement or not, as the actual ruler of Quan Xing, no matter the former acting leader or those elders, they were all within his range of extermination.

Ji Yuqian spoke carefully, knowing when to stop, and promised consciously: "Master Jiang, I will not slack off on what you ordered."

"I'm going to tell you the truth. In about two years, when the water in the Wanxiang Pond is clear, I will dig out the location of the monster you want, no matter what the cost."

"Two years.?"

Jiang Mo took a sip of tea and spoke calmly without any displeasure, but it made Liu Wei and Ji Yuqian inexplicably nervous.

The one who was negotiating terms with them now was the most powerful sect leader in the history of the Trinity Sect. His methods of exorcising demons were simply horrifying and shocked the world.

Although they knew that Jiang Mo had no ill intentions, they still felt palpitations instinctively.

Just when their pressure was overwhelming like a mountain, a simple sentence dispelled their worries.

"That's fine. Master Ji, you don't have to be too demanding in your calculations. Just let things take their own course and take whatever step you can take."

"I'm sorry. Thank you for your understanding, Master Jiang." Ji Yuqian bowed and saluted.

"That's not the case. It's you, the hall master, who should take good care of your health instead of wasting your energy on such trivial matters."

Jiang Mo's eyes fell on Ji Yuqian's skinny body, which was exhausted and had little vitality left. He frowned slightly. In his opinion, the hall master had less than three years left to live.

Ji Yuqian seemed to understand the meaning of Jiang Mo's eyes and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's an old problem. This is a common problem in our lineage."

"Seeking the secrets of heaven to satisfy human desires will shorten one's life. This is a punishment from heaven. No matter whether you take medicine or seek out famous doctors, your fate is destined to be like this and cannot be changed."

"Even though I had the advice from my mentor, many times, I was influenced by human relationships and worldly affairs, which always added fuel to the fire and brought me to the point where I resisted but had to face it."

"No matter how strong one's will is, it cannot resist various human desires. Ordinary people who cross the line to seek heaven's secrets should pay a price. I have never regretted this matter. If I could choose again, I would still do the same."

Hearing this, Jiang Mo recognized and praised: "It seems that Master Ji is both clear-headed and courageous to have such awareness."

"Thank you so much, it's just a small idea to support my family and continue my sect." Ji Yuqian smiled happily.

Seeing that the conversation was almost over, he reached into his arms again, took out a roll of old drawings, handed it to Jiang Mo, and forced it into his hands without caring whether he accepted it or not.

"Hmm? Master Ji, what is this?"

"A roll of waste paper with a blessed land marked on it. In the past, that old ghost Han killed my master to get this thing, but we failed to make him succeed. This blood feud, Master Jiang, will settle it for me. Then this thing is given to you."

Jiang Mo smiled and asked back: "In this blessed land, there may be an opportunity. Would you be willing to give it to me?"

"The cave is hard to find. I don't have the ability to do it anyway."

Ji Yuqian did not have the slightest concern or reluctance, and said frankly: "Many predecessors went there but returned empty-handed, and some even got lost in it, so I said it was waste paper."

"If Master Jiang can comprehend the mystery, then what's the harm in taking this opportunity away?"

"Well, since you are so generous, I would like to thank you."

Jiang Mo placed the blueprint on the table and was not in a hurry to disassemble it. He currently had to practice and look after the sect and could not spare the time to go to this mysterious place.
