Shen Yanqing understood Ye Mo’s meaning and then said, “It was because of the Dan Spring, that Dan Spring was real, but it was done by someone who discovered it earlier. When Senior Brother Yue had his epiphany at the Dan Spring, he was actually a*sa*sinated. It was because someone had laid the Rotting God Flower at the Dan Spring ……”
“Grade 9 Spiritual Herb Rotting God Flower? That Rotting God Flower that is rumored to only grow once in ten million miles?” Ye Mo asked in a shocked voice.
As a seventh grade Dan King, Ye Mo was really too familiar with the Rotting God Flower. Grade 9 Spiritual Herbs, colourless and tasteless, and they were some of the rarest Grade 9 Spiritual Herbs. It was definitely not an exaggeration to say that only one plant appeared in millions of miles. The greatest effect of this spirit gra*s was to corrupt the Yuan Shen.
Moreover, the corrosion of this spiritual herb was unconscious, so if a cultivator spent a long time in one place in meditative cultivation and wanted to go to a realm of enlightenment, the Yuan Shen would be more easily corrupted by the Corrupting God Flower. Once that cultivator enters an epiphany state, that Yuan Shen is bound to be corrupted without a doubt.
As Ye Mo thought about this, he suddenly started up in shock and said, “Silver Moon Dan King ……”
He had already understood that Silver Moon Dan King Yue Qi Chao had gone to the Dan Spring to feel enlightenment and wanted to advance to the eighth grade Dan King with the Dan Spring, but ended up falling for the Corrupted God Flower that someone else had secretly placed.
Shen Yanqing nodded and said, “You are correct in your thinking, Senior Yue was indeed hit by the Corrupting God Flower, and now his Yuan Shen is being corrupted drastically.”
“Senior has also come to the City of Ink Moon to see if Senior Silver Moon Dan King’s Corrupted God Flower is salvageable with junior?” Ye Mo finally knew why Shen Yanqing had come to the City of the Ink Moon to look for him instead of going somewhere else.
Shen Yanqing sighed and said, “Also yes and no. Senior Brother Yue comprehended the true meaning of the Eighth Grade Dan King at the Dan Spring and advanced to the Eighth Grade Dan King, but he then discovered that he had been struck by the Corrupted God Flower. At that time, he hadn’t thought that it was someone from Dan City who had struck at him, and he thought that he had been a*sa*sinated by one of his enemies. So he took me with him and hurried back to Dan City.
When we arrived at Dan City, we realised that something had happened to you, and Senior Brother Yue immediately became furious. When the Thundercloud Sect found out that Brother Yue had returned to Dan City, they immediately declared a mountain closure. However, Senior Brother Yue then demanded that the Wuji Clan hand over the cultivator who killed Brother Ji, and the Wuji Clan surprisingly hardened their attitude and firmly refused to admit that they had done it. It was important to know that there were nearly twenty True Transformation cultivators in Dan City. And there were even more Transformation Cultivators. Even if Senior Brother Yue had been a*sa*sinated. But we didn’t expect the Wuji Sect to have such a big bottom.”
Ye Mo didn’t say anything, but in his heart, he was grateful. The Silver Moon Dan King had been hit by the Rotting God Flower, yet he still thought of sticking up for himself.
Seeing Ye Mo’s expression, Shen Yanqing knew what Ye Mo was thinking and said once again, “You don’t need to blame yourself, in fact, Senior Brother Yue thinks highly of you, he thinks that you are the only one who has the hope of advancing to the ninth grade Dan King. So he expects a lot from you. He could even put up with it if someone backstabbed him, but you are the hope of the Cultivation Realm, Senior Brother Yue doesn’t want anything to happen to you, he wants to uproot the Wuji Sect before the Rotting God Flower strikes.”
Ye Mo understood that once a mountain was sealed in the Cultivation World, if it wasn’t a hatred of extermination, it was generally not allowed to attack a sect that had sealed the mountain. The Thundercloud Sect had sealed the mountain. So what Yan Tian Dan Wang was talking about was only the Wuji Sect as well. But that was only for Yan Tian Dan Wang and Silver Moon Dan Wang, once his own strength reached a certain level, not to mention the Thundercloud Sect sealing the mountain, even if he escaped out of the Southern An Continent, he would still rush up to kill it.
Shen Yanqing continued, “But at this time, the Tai Shang City Lord of Dan City came out and spoke up, saying that my Dan City could not use its power to oppress others. Moreover, the people who intercepted you and senior Lu did not have anyone showing their true faces, so how could they be sure that they were from the Wuji Sect? Senior Brother Yue and I immediately knew that the person behind the backstabbing was that Tai Shang City Master.”
Speaking of this Shen Yanqing’s tone grew sadder and sadder. “Senior Brother Yue and I can say that we have a great deal of respect for the Tai Shang City Lord of Dan City. Every year, seventy percent of Dan City’s resources are given to him on our own initiative. And we never had any objections to his commands, but in the end he actually did this to me and the Silver Moon Dan King. Senior Brother Yue was disheartened on the spot. The Rotting God Flower also seized up at the same time. I also had no more ideas about staying on in Dan City, so I brought Senior Brother Yue to the City of the Moons. Originally I wanted you to come back to keep you and not let you wander out. But after seeing this place, I fell in love with it, and I decided to stay here on that account.”
“Then Tai Shangcheng Master ……” Ye Mo asked with some concern.
Shen Yanqing didn’t wait for Ye Mo to finish before waving his hand and saying, “You don’t need to worry about that, he hasn’t wanted to go so far as to kill here, otherwise he wouldn’t be a*sa*sinating Senior Brother Yue, not to mention he wouldn’t need to do so. After Senior Brother Yue and I have left, he will be the only one in charge of Dan City, his purpose has been achieved, and since Senior Brother Yue will not be able to survive, he has even less to worry about. After we left, some of the Transformation True cultivators who knew the situation had dispersed a lot. Three of the True Transformation cultivators had already followed me to the City of Moons, while seven or eight others had each left Dan City. Nowadays, although Dan City is still the place of first strength, it has long since ceased to be the Dan City of the past.”
After speaking, Shen Yanqing sighed, the glorious past of Dan City had disappeared. A city lord who was jealous of the Dan King coming out from below would not be able to carry Dan City forward no matter what. From now on, Dan City might just slowly diminish.
Ye Mo had calmed down a little by now, here was the Yantian
Dan King, there were also three True Transformation Cultivators, even if the Wuji Sect had a thick bottom, they would not dare to come to the City of the Moons to look for trouble. After the Thundercloud Sect sealed off the mountain, it was even more impossible for them to come looking for trouble, which meant that the City of Moons was now as stable as a mountain. When he finished setting up the defence formation, even if the Wuji Sect came, it would be a situation where there would be no return.
Even if the Dan City’s Yantian Dan King and Silver Moon Dan King left, there was absolutely no way they would help the Wuji Sect to attack the City of the Moon-moon.
Suddenly Ye Mo thought of the previous question and asked again, “Senior Yantian, who was the person who told you about the appearance of Dan Spring?”
“That person, who you have also met and you asked about later, is the Fourth Grade Changshun Dan King Zhao Shuntian. He should have been working for the Tai Shang City Lord, which is why he betrayed me and the Silver Moon Dan King.” Shen Yanqing said grimly.
Sure enough it was him, that Mo Youshen was quite a backstage, he could even befriend the Tai Shangcheng Lord. At this moment, Ye Mo suddenly understood the greatness and nobility of the Silver Moon Dan King, the greatness of the Silver Moon Dan King was that he knew who he was being backstabbed by, but he didn’t say anything, he just left Dan City in a discouraged manner.
If it was an ordinary person, he would have definitely had an internal fight with the Lord of Tai Shang City. With the prestige of the Dan King of Silver Moon and the Dan King of Yantian, once Dan City got into an internal fight, it would be a catastrophe for the entire South An Continent cultivation world. What would be the outcome of a fight between two gangs of dozens of True Transformation cultivators and even more Robber Transformation cultivators, Ye Mo did not even dare to imagine.
If ten Grade 9 Spiritual Herbs could be found in South An Continent every year, then at least eight of them would flow to Dan City, and Grade 9 Spiritual Herbs were a guarantee for cultivators to ascend. It was surprising that the Silver Moon Dan King and the Inkstone Dan King had silently given this Dan City away, which meant that they had cut off the source of these spirit gra*ses and reduced the chances of ascension. The purpose was only to prevent the top cultivators of Dan City from fighting among themselves, and a cultivator who had gone this far could not fail to command respect.
The Silver Moon Dan King, even if he wanted to do everything he could, he should save him.
The Corrupted God Flower corroded the Yuan Shen, it was almost insurmountable, Ye Mo frowned. Half a day later he said with a sigh, “Senior Dan King Yantian, is there any salvation for the Corrupted God Flower?”
Shen Yanqing shook his head and said, “The longer the Rotting God Flower corrodes the Yuan Shen, the more insoluble it becomes. If it takes more than a year, even if a Heavenly Immortal descends, there is no solution. There are two kinds of spiritual herbs that can solve the problem within a year, but both of them are unattainable. One is the Ninth Grade Spiritual Herb ‘Immortal Macau Flower’. If one has ‘Immortal Macau Flower’, one can recast the cultivator’s spirit before the spirit dissipates, but I have heard of ‘Immortal Macau Flower’ for hundreds of years, but I have never seen it. I have never seen one. There is also a ninth grade spirit herb ice luo, which can remove the corrosion of the rotting god flower, ice luo I have heard the same for hundreds of years, but also have never seen ……”
“Ice luo?” Ye Mo suddenly stood up, did he not have an ice luo? Refining ‘true luo dan’ stuff, how come I didn’t think of it just now?
When Shen Yanqing looked surprised, Ye Mo didn’t wait for him to say anything, he immediately took out the ice luo and handed it to Shen Yanqing and said, “Dan King Yantian, this is the ice luo.”
“You have an ice luo?” Shen Yanqing grabbed the jade box given to him by Ye Mo while exclaiming in shock.
Ye Mo nodded and said, “I got it by chance this time when I went to the Ice God Forbidden Land, Senior Dan King Yantian, take it to Senior Dan King Yin Yue to lift the Yuan Shen corrosion first.”
Shen Yanqing opened the jade box, and there was a mature ninth grade spirit herb, Ice Lore. At this moment Shen Yanqing seemed to feel full of vitality once again, to be honest, he and the Silver Moon Dan King could say that they had spent their entire hearts and souls for Dan City. It would be a lie to say that he wasn’t disappointed and sad when the Silver Moon Dan King ended up in this situation. And now with Bing Luo, that meant that the Silver Moon Dan King could recover.
“Brother Ye Mo, thank you, from now on you should not call us seniors, just call me and Silver Moon an old brother. We haven’t misjudged you, you are a man of character.” Shen Yanqing could no longer contain his inner excitement and said in a trembling voice as he took the ice luo.
Ye Mo knew what Shen Yanqing meant, the ice luo was simply an extremely rare treasure that could not be begged for, a spiritual herb that could refine the ‘True Luo Dan’. He knew that even a ‘True Spirit Pill’ could only increase the chances of a Transformation Cultivator’s advancement to the True Formation by 20%.
But he waved his hand and said, “Senior Yantian Danwang, you and Silver Moon Danwang will always be my seniors. Let’s save Senior Silver Moon Dan Wang first, the sooner the Rotting God Flower is removed, the better.”
In Ye Mo’s heart, both the Silver Moon Dan King and the Yantian Dan King had been very kind to him, and the Silver Moon Dan King even thought of him so much after being struck by the Rotting God Flower. Moreover, these two City Lords were still open and honest people, compared to that Tai Shang City Lord who was a little too nasty. Not to mention an ice lily, even if he had to take out a very high quality spirit vein himself, Ye Mo would not hesitate.
Shen Yanqing put the ice luo above Yue Qichao’s mouth, and at the same time began to run his true essence to help Yue Qichao absorb the ice luo, in just half a column of time. The Silver Moon Dan King’s face began to gradually turn red, and his eyes opened.
At this moment, however, Shen Yanqing took his hand away and said eagerly, “Senior Brother Yue, hurry up and run your true essence to absorb the ice luo and dissolve the Corrupted God Flower.”
Yue Qichao’s eyes showed a look of astonishment and disbelief, but he quickly understood what was going on and immediately closed his eyes again. However, now he did not need Shen Yanqing’s help and ran his true essence on his own to refine the ice luo. The ice loris on his mouth shrank rapidly and soon disappeared
