In the Cultivation World, having no money means you could lose your life at any moment.
Without money, there is no way to buy Spirit Medicine, no way to buy talismans for escaping danger, and no defensive magical artifact to ward off harm.
You cannot even afford the most basic Pill to replenish Spiritual Power!
Those cultivators with deep pockets can rely on external aids to fight even if they are outmatched, instantly boosting their own five-tenths of ability to a full ten.
Mo Jiuwei said there is a Spiritual Energy Fluctuation at Qingfeng Ridge, a sign that a Spiritual Object is about to appear, which means the Competition there will become exceptionally intense and increasingly dangerous.
Yi Xingyun wants to risk his life for it; if he succeeds, his Foundation Establishment Pill will be secured, and if he fails, it is merely his own death.
He must absolutely not let his fellow disciples risk danger with him.
"Since there is an Opportunity, everyone should try their best. Everyone who can go this time should go together," Uncle Liu said, offering a different opinion. "It is not just for your Foundation Establishment Pill, but for our Xianlai Sect, and also for Jiuwei."
"For Jiuwei?" everyone asked in doubt.
"Yes, Jiuwei is definitely not an ordinary person." Uncle Liu's expression was grave. "I believe she is very likely the Reincarnation of some Great Power, which is why she is so extraordinary at such a young age. She is still young and cannot have her Spiritual Root tested yet, but I suspect her Aptitude is extraordinary."
That is true.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"But precisely because of that, we must not hinder her," Uncle Liu said. "If such a Genius has their Cultivation affected because of our Xianlai Sect's poverty, then we would be greatly at fault! So, even for her sake, we must work hard to earn some Crystal Stones."
The child is still small and needs Crystal Stones for food, drink, and clothing, and Mo Jiuwei also has a disability that will require Crystal Stones for treatment in the future.
Everyone realized this was indeed the case.
"Uncle Liu is right. Since that is the case, I will go with Junior Brother Yi."
"I will go too."
"I am going! The worst that can happen is death, what is there to fear!"
"Exactly, we have been hiding in the Xianlai Sect for long enough. I have been stifled for too long; this time we will go and seize it, leaving everything to fate! Even if I really die, I will accept it!"
In the past, everyone was timid and afraid to act because they lacked confidence.
But now, seeing that they are almost starving to death—it would be fine if they starved, but if Mo Jiuwei also... they would never forgive themselves!
Since Mo Jiuwei said this is a good Opportunity, they might as well go together; it is better than sitting around and exhausting their resources.
Everyone went to prepare, selling everything they did not need and saving money to buy some medicine for injuries.
When Mo Jiuwei woke up, she saw that only Meng Ling was by her side.
【Huh? Where are the others?】
She rolled her eyes in doubt.
"Be good, Jiuwei. Senior Sister Meng will be looking after you for the next few days!" Meng Ling patted her flat chest. "Martial Uncle and the others heard that a Treasure might appear at Qingfeng Ridge, so they are packing up to go and try their luck."
Meng Ling is the youngest and has a damaged Spiritual Root, so she is not suited to go, which is why the task of taking care of Mo Jiuwei fell to her.
Actually, she really wanted to go too, but for the sake of her Junior Sister, she endured it.
【They are all going to Qingfeng Ridge? I want to go too, I want to go too!】
Mo Jiuwei could not sit still once she heard that.
Lying here every day and seeing only these few people, she really could not take it anymore!
She could not speak, so she used whimpering sounds to express her anxiety, and her hands and feet moved about eagerly.
"What is wrong? You don't want to go too, do you? That won't do! You are too small, it is dangerous there, you cannot go!" Meng Ling quickly tried to persuade her.
【No, I want to go!】
"Go where?"
Just Then, Uncle Liu and the others had finished packing and walked over to say goodbye, asking when they heard her.
"Junior Sister seems to want to go to Qingfeng Ridge with you all." Meng Ling looked back and signaled with her eyes.
"How can that be..."
【I don't care, I want to go!】
【I know where the danger is, and I know where the Spiritual Object is! Ah, I am so anxious, why can't I speak!】
Uncle Liu and the others' eyes flickered.
Mo Jiuwei knows where the Spiritual Object is?
If that is the case...
"No, Jiuwei, you are too small, how can we take you to such a place?" Chen Lan also advised.
【If you don't take me, you will be the ones in danger! You bunch of weaklings!】
The bunch of weaklings: ...
"Cough, how about we take Jiuwei along?" Uncle Liu suddenly changed his Idea.
"Uncle Liu, how can we do that!"
"Yes, that is too risky!"
Everyone disagreed.
They believed that bringing Mo Jiuwei might lead to a great Harvest, but they could not accept putting such a small Infant in a Dangerous place.
If anything happened to her, they would never forgive themselves!
"Have you forgotten? I have a Talisman," Uncle Liu reminded them. "If there is real danger, I will do my best to protect Jiuwei and leave."
Everyone was stunned, and then their eyes lit up.
Uncle Liu has been in Cultivation for many years and has a Treasure for saving his life.
The Talisman he mentioned is precisely Uncle Liu's only life-saving item!
If that is the case... then it seems feasible?
【Great! Take me with you quickly!】
"Since that is the case, then... let's take her."
After the temporary change in decision, Mo Jiuwei became one of the people going on the trip.
Chen Lan held her the entire time. To better protect her, she even used a cloth strip from a bedsheet to carefully tie her to her chest, so that even if there was danger, she could free her hands and not drop her On the Ground.
After preparing, the group set off.
There were quite a few people, and a regular Flying Magical Artifact could not hold them all, so they went in pairs using Sword Flying.
Mo Jiuwei was well protected. She could see the clouds and the changing Mountains and streams beneath her feet, which made her very happy.
【The scenery outside is better after all.】
【Finally, I don't have to lie on the bed anymore!】
When she was hungry, Chen Lan would feed her, and when she was sleepy, she would close her eyes and sleep on her own.
After waking up again, they had arrived at Qingfeng Ridge.
【Let me feel... the Spiritual Object is over there!】 Mo Jiuwei shook her left hand, trying very hard to point in the direction, while also making babbling sounds to attract their attention.
"Jiuwei seems to want to go over there," Uncle Liu said with a smile, his eyes flashing.
"Then let's go. We don't know the direction anyway, it's good to have Jiuwei lead the way," Hu Jiu said.
Mo Jiuwei was overjoyed.
【Great, these people are really on the ball!】
So, she took on the important task of leading the way. Whenever they needed to change direction, she would whimper and point, and the people from the Xianlai Sect really followed the direction she pointed every time, never once going the wrong way.
This put Mo Jiuwei in a great mood; she loved people who listened like this!
Not only did she lead the way, but Mo Jiuwei was also always able to discover nearby Spirit Grass in advance!
【I smell the Scent of Can Chuan Grass, and there is quite a lot of it!】
