Poison Soul Valley
With the beauty gone, Mo Tang felt a little uneasy.
However, after looking at the items in his Inventory, his mood improved considerably.
The previous Auction brought great fame to the Mo Alliance, but for Mo Tang, it brought more tangible benefits.
"Mid-grade Energy detected: 1580 points. Absorb in one click?"
"Whether."
"Yes!"
The previously empty Mid-grade Energy suddenly gained more than a thousand points.
In addition, Mo Tang currently has tens of millions of Gold Coins in savings, which come from the Auction proceeds as well as family sponsorship.
Just as Mo Tang was sorting through his harvest, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Mo Tang was slightly surprised; it was actually Nalan Yanran who had arrived...
"What's wrong? Is something wrong with the Misty Cloud Sect?" Mo Tang asked worriedly.
After Yun Yun left, Nalan Yanran, a girl who was not yet twenty years old, became the Acting Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect.
Nalan Yanran shook her head slightly, looked at Mo Tang, a hint of unease flashing in her eyes, before saying, "Hmm, Master Mo... Uncle-Master, I once heard you say that you were looking for the Infant Soul Flower?"
Since Mo Tang and Yun Yun became a couple, Nalan Yanran has changed how she addresses him, but every time she calls him "Shishu" (a term of respect for her senior uncle), it always sounds very awkward.
Mo Tang nodded and said, "That's right, why are you asking this?"
The Infant Soul Flower is one of the main ingredients for refining the Soul Fusion Pill. It is extremely rare. Even Fa Ma, an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, has never truly seen the Infant Soul Flower.
Nalan Yanran's answer surprised Mo Tang. The girl took out a rather ancient-looking scroll and said, "This is a map of an ancient Ruins that my grandfather obtained by chance. When I was a child, my grandfather told me that when he explored those Ruins, he discovered a very special flower that was very similar to the description of the Infant Soul Flower. If you really need it, you can take a look..."
"Oh?" Mo Tang's heart stirred, and he directly took the map.
"Poison Soul Valley? Is this the location of those Ruins?"
Mo Tang raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected that the location marked on the map was actually within the territory of the Chuyun Empire!
Moreover, according to the map description, it is a very strange Poison Valley, with the valley entrance shrouded in yin energy and poisonous gas all year round. Even a Dou Wang level expert would suffer from the corrosive pain of Dou Qi and body if he stayed inside for a long time.
Seeing the information in these descriptions, Mo Tang truly understood the danger of the Ruins.
Seeing the look of interest on Mo Tang's face, Nalan Yanran reminded him again, "That Ruins is extremely dangerous, filled with countless poisonous creatures. Grandpa was injured by a fifth-tier Iron Brand Poison Python in that Ruins and was Brand Poison..."
Mo Tang's expression hardened.
"So that's how Nalan Jie got the poison?"
If the Poison Soul Valley contains such a highly venomous creature as the Iron Brand Poison Python, then perhaps even more dangerous things exist...
Add to that the ever-present chilling, poisonous Poison Mist, and it seems that exploring inside won't be an easy task!
After a moment of contemplation, Mo Tang made his decision.
Although Poison Soul Valley is so dangerous, there must be a lot of good stuff inside. After all, danger and opportunity go hand in hand!
"With Queen Medusa with us, there shouldn't be too much danger this time..."
A Seventh-tier Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python can affect any snake-type Demonic Beast that encounters it, so let alone a fifth-tier Iron Brand Poison Python, even a sixth-tier one would be affected by its bloodline pressure.
Having made his decision, Mo Tang thanked Nalan Yanran and then began preparations for his journey to the Chuyun Empire.
Poison Soul Valley is too far from the Jia Ma Imperial Capital. Even at Mo Tang's speed, it would take about a month to go there and back. Moreover, he would have to explore the Ruins and who knows what he might encounter. Therefore, he had to arrange everything properly.
The first thing is to find another expert to oversee the Mo Alliance.
Although the Nalan Family also chose to join the Mo Alliance, since Nalan Jie's death, the strongest member of the Nalan Family is only Nine-Star Dou Ling, which is not weak, but still too low.
"In the current Jia Ma Empire, the most suitable candidate would probably be Alchemist King Gu He..."
A Sixth-grade Alchemist and a peak Dou Wang, plus Gu He's reputation in the Jia Ma Empire —if they could really bring this guy to their Mo Alliance, then the Mo Alliance would truly have a living advertisement to show to the outside world!
No matter how you look at it, this Pill King is the best tool.
As for whether the other party will be hostile towards him because of Yun Yun's matter...
Mo Tang never doubted this point; there was certainly hostility, but it was not insurmountable.
Mo Tang and Yun Yun's love was mutual, while Gu He was just a heartbroken simp...
Now that Gu He has lost his beloved, he has devoted all his energy to alchemy. If Mo Tang uses the precious alchemy manual left behind by the Old Yao, there is no need to worry that this guy will not take the bait!
They found Gu He's secluded dwelling outside the city...
Mo Tang met Liu Ling again, whom he had met once before at the Alchemist Convention.
This person is Gu He's Direct Disciple, and his Yao Tian is also quite good. He is already a Fourth-grade Alchemist.
Liu Ling was also very surprised to recognize the person who came.
His expression was somewhat unpleasant, and he wondered if the guy in front of him was trying to mock his teacher.
However, Mo Tang's performance overturned his unreliable idea.
"Hehe, please inform Master Gu He that Mo Tang requests an audience." Mo Tang smiled slightly at Liu Ling and said in a very polite manner.
Although somewhat surprised, Liu Ling remained indifferent, saying in a distant tone, "Please wait a moment..."
A moment later, the door of the simple wooden house opened, and Gu He's voice came from inside.
"What are you doing here? I have nothing to say to you!"
Although he has decided to let go of that matter, it doesn't mean that Gu He will give his former "love rival" a friendly look.
Mo Tang smiled slightly and said in a warm tone, "Hehe, Master Gu He, why are you so aloof? I don't think there's any deep-seated hatred between us, is there?"
Gu He: "...!!!"
The hatred of killing one's father and the grudge of stealing one's wife!
Now you're telling me there's no deep-seated hatred between us?
Of course, things weren't that serious, but Gu He was amused by the other party's shamelessness.
Mo Tang didn't waste any time. He directly found the scroll in his Inventory containing the experience and methods of advancing from Sixth-grade Alchemist to Seventh-grade Alchemist, which Old Yao had recorded, and threw it in through the door.
"Master Gu He, why don't you take a look at this first, and then decide whether or not to see me next?"
