Seven days later.
Mo You hurried to the entrance of Song Wen's cave abode.
"Sect Master, this subordinate has something important to report."
"Come in."
As Song Wen's voice rang out, the stone door of the cave abode swung open.
Mo You flew inside. Dispensing with pleasantries, he took out a walnut-sized blue stone and offered it to Song Wen.
