Mo Tianji replied, “Great Radiance Palm is utterly malevolent. Only a master with extremely high cultivation can force that palm force out.”
“What level of master would that take?” Ye Qiu pressed.
Mo Tianji thought for a moment and said, “With the palm force inside Wu Qianfan right now, anyone at the Tongshen realm could expel it.”
Ye Qiu instantly looked towards Yun Xi. Only Azure Cloud Sword Sect had Tongshen experts.
“An elder at the peak of Tongshen wanted to accompany me this time for protection, but I turned him down,” Yun Xi said.
Ye Qiu’s heart sank.
Yun Xi then asked Mo Tianji, “Would a spirit pill work?”
Mo Tianji answered, “It would, but it has to be a Mysterious-tier Blazing Fire Pill.”
“A Mysterious-tier Blazing Fire Pill?” Yun Xi gave a helpless smile. “I carry a few Earth-tier spirit pills, but no Mysterious-tier Blazing Fire Pills.”
To Yun Xi, Mysterious-tier pills were basically rubbish; she normally wouldn’t even glance at them.
Everyone present stared at Yun Xi in astonishment. None of them had expected her to possess Earth-tier pills.
Mo Tianji continued, “The palm force inside him is utterly yin and utterly soft. Only the supremely yang and blazing Blazing Fire Pill can drive it out.”
Yun Xi said, “Most of the spirit pills I have are for boosting cultivation. I don’t have anything supremely yang.”
Lin Big Bird spoke up, “I’ve got some Mysterious-tier pills, but no Blazing Fire Pill either.”
Ye Qiu thought of Glory Treasure Pavilion. He had the personal token Gongsun had given him; obtaining one Blazing Fire Pill should be child’s play.
The only problem was that asking Glory Treasure Pavilion for the pill would force him to leave Undead Mountain right now.
“Damn it all. I thought taking a prince as my servant would be a joyful thing. Who knew it would bring me nothing but trouble?”
At that moment, Long-brow Daoist suddenly dashed off.
“Senior brother, where are you going?” Mo Tianji called.
Long-brow said nothing and plunged straight into the pile of corpses, searching for spatial rings.
Earlier, when Ye Qiu had killed several genius disciples and fought Wei Wuji, all the onlookers had died as well. Long-brow had been too busy watching the fight to loot their rings.
Now, the moment he heard they needed a Mysterious-tier spirit pill, he snapped awake.
“I’ll go ask my fellow disciples too,” Yun Xi said. She returned to the group from Azure Cloud Sword Sect, asked around, and soon came back.
“Sorry, none of them have a Mysterious-tier Blazing Fire Pill either.” Yun Xi looked rather dejected that she couldn’t help Ye Qiu.
A little while later, Long-brow returned, wildly excited and waving his arms. “We’ve struck it rich! Struck it rich!”
“This poor Daoist just found ninety-seven spatial rings in total. Thirty million spirit stones, countless spirit herbs, cultivation manuals, weapons, secret techniques…”
“Especially the rings of those genius disciples; the stuff inside is amazing. This is a massive haul!”
Seeing Long-brow’s greedy expression, Ye Qiu felt anger rising and asked, “Any Blazing Fire Pills?”
“Nope.” Long-brow shook his head like a rattle drum.
“Do I really have to leave?” Ye Qiu was unwilling. Undead Mountain was open for a whole month, and there were countless treasures inside; he hadn’t visited many places yet.
Moreover, Wei Wuji and Wuhua were still alive, and that gnawed at him.
“Little brat, this poor Daoist has a suggestion,” Long-brow suddenly said.
Everyone immediately turned to look at him.
“What suggestion?” Ye Qiu asked.
Long-brow said, “Although Wu Qianfan is your servant, you two aren’t particularly close. Since we don’t have a Blazing Fire Pill right now and can’t save him, why not just bury him?”
Bury him?
Everyone’s eyes widened, as if asking Long-brow whether he was even speaking like a human being.
Long-brow’s face didn’t change a bit. He went on, “I think he’s injured so badly that without a Blazing Fire Pill he can’t be saved anyway. Carrying him around is just a burden, and he won’t last long. We might as well bury him and be done with it.”
“Little brat, do you agree?”
“If you agree, this poor Daoist will start digging the hole right now.”
Dig your grandfather’s hole!
Ye Qiu glared at Long-brow and snapped, “How the hell do you come up with such rotten ideas?”
“Hahaha, I was only joking. A loyal and righteous person like you would never stand by and watch him die,” Long-brow said, dropping the smile and turning serious. “As things stand, the only way to save him is to leave and find a Blazing Fire Pill.”
Suddenly, a thought struck Ye Qiu. He quickly pulled the Book of Pills from his cosmos pouch, flipped through it rapidly, and found the recipe for refining a Blazing Fire Pill.
Seeing what he was doing, Long-brow exclaimed in surprise, “Little brat, you’re not planning to refine the Blazing Fire Pill yourself, are you?”
“Why not?” Ye Qiu put the Book of Pills away. “My cultivation has reached the peak of Cave Heaven, and now I have the refining method. As long as I have the spirit herbs, I can give it a try.”
“Only…”
Ye Qiu frowned at that point.
“Only what?” Long-brow asked.
“Although the Blazing Fire Pill is merely Mysterious-tier, it requires several hundred-thousand-year-old spirit herbs, and I’m missing the ingredients…”
“I have them.” Before Ye Qiu could finish, Mo Tianji took several hundred-thousand-year-old spirit herbs from his spatial ring.
Ye Qiu’s eyes lit up.
“Azure Nether Immortal Rock!”
“Boundless Spirit Flame!”
“Seven Treasures Purple Sky Orchid!”
“Nine Yang Scarlet Blood Ginseng!”
All of them were hundred-thousand-year-old herbs.
Nobody had expected someone as young as Mo Tianji to be hiding so many priceless ancient herbs.
“Junior brother, whatever other treasures you have, hurry and show your senior brother,” Long-brow said. “Don’t worry, I’m only looking. I definitely won’t take anything.”
Right now, Long-brow looked exactly like a creepy uncle trying to lure a child with candy.
Mo Tianji replied, “Senior brother, no rush. Once we’re out of here, I have something good for you.”
“What is it?” Long-brow could barely wait.
Mo Tianji smiled mysteriously. “You’ll find out when the time comes.”
Ye Qiu stood up and said to Long-brow, “All of you wait here. I’m going to find a place to refine the pill.”
Mo Tianji reminded him, “Big brother, refining pills must not be disturbed. You have to find a properly secluded spot.”
“Yes.” Ye Qiu nodded slightly. Just as he was about to leave, Yun Xi spoke up, “Changsheng, I’ll go with you.”
“I’ll stand guard while you refine the pill, just in case something happens.”
“Very well,” Ye Qiu agreed.
At that moment, Lin Big Bird sent Ye Qiu a private transmission: “Big brother, Earth-tier spirit pills are incredibly rare. Ordinary saint sons and saintesses don’t even possess one, yet Fairy Yun Xi said she has several. It looks like her status in Azure Cloud Sword Sect is far more than just a saintess.”
“Better to be cautious around people.”
“Big brother, watch yourself.”
Ye Qiu gave Lin Big Bird a reassuring glance, then swiftly departed with Yun Xi.
