The Eternal Soaring Sword

Chapter 17 - The Blue Spirit Pill

On the way, Zhao Jiuge asked a question in his heart about the door in the valley. What Mo Longjie told him was that it was an auction house owned by the Mo family. The entire Dong Yang City and the surrounding people all went there to sell or exchange the items they needed.

The auction house was very important and was always within the control of the Mo family. The Xiao family looked at the auction house enviously, so the two families had always been at odds, but they had never fought for real. As for the stalls in the alley, they were just people trying to sell some items, but there was nothing good there. All the good stuff is inside the auction house.

Mo Longjie's mouth slowly curved upwards when he heard Zhao Jiuge ask about the auction house. He then said, “Jiuge, ah, do you want to see the auction house? There will be an auction tomorrow, so how about you go there with Uncle Mo to see it?”

Zhao Jiuge's eyes shone brightly after listening to Mo Longjie's words. “OK, Uncle Mo. I wanted to go see yesterday, but there were people guarding the door and asking for an invitation. I wonder why, but it makes sense now that I know there's an auction tomorrow. ”

"Haha, when we leave tomorrow, Uncle Mo will give you something as a congratulatory gift and as a thank you for your help." Even though Mo Longjie was smiling, there was still worry in his eyes, and even his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled. This time, the problem is a bit serious. Not only was the Blue Moon Grass precious, but the second son of the Xiao family had been seriously injured. The Xiao Family will not let this go, and the auction will be conducted tomorrow. This time, it might be the destruction of the Xiao family or the death of the Mo family.

Upon hearing that there would be a congratulatory gift, Zhao Jiuge's face became slightly red with excitement and his eyes were filled with excitement. He was also very grateful to Uncle Mo in his heart.

Soon, they arrived at Mo's house. Zhao Jiuge stared at the two words "Mo Mansion." The board was black with a red border and the words were gold. Beside the door were eight men in light armor and two men in black with fluctuations in spirit power. Zhao Jiuge could sense that the two of them were in the Spirit Detecting Realm. The entrance was paved with gray stone with five small steps leading to the door and into the courtyard of the Mo Mansion. There are two mighty stone lions that are very much alive. Seeing all this, Zhao Jiuge could not help but sigh about how great it was all.

As they walked into the courtyard, a man in a young black armor walked forward and respectfully said, “Head of Family, you are back. I have arranged this matter for the auction tomorrow. ” Mo Longjie listened to the words of the man in black and gently nodded. "good. Let me introduce you to Jiuge. He will stay here for a while.” He exuded the aura of a leader and he turned to Jiuge with a smile to introduce the man in armor. "This is Zheng Jie, chief commander."

Zhao Jiuge looked at the young man in front of him who was around 20 years old and whose complexion was rather dark. He has very lively eyes. Zhao Jiuge, who had been hunting in the mountains since he was young, felt like he was looking at a ferocious beast. The fluctuation of this young man's spirit power was the same as his, at the late stage of the Blood Movement Realm.

While Zhao Jiuge was observing Zheng Jie, Zheng Jie also stared back at him. He saw a young man wearing black clothes carrying a blue-colored long sword with a somewhat childish face and a relaxed temperament. However, he did not underestimate Zhao Jiuge, as he could sense that the fluctuations of spirit power coming from this young man were no weaker than his. This made his pupils shrink and he pondered the meaning of the head of the family who brought this young man here.

Both sides nodded at each other as a greeting. Mo Longjie ordered Mo Linger with a thin smile, “Defend, take Jiuge to his room so he can take a bath and change clothes. For lunch, we will eat in the main hall, where I will prepare a banquet for Jiuge.” After Mo Linger heard this, he smiled. “Good, Father.” And then pull Jiuge away.

After Zhao Jiuge and Mo Linger disappeared, Mo Longjie's face changed from his friendly smile to a more serious expression. His eyes shone as he faced Old Mo and asked, "Old Mo, what do you think?" Old Mo still had the same friendly smile as he said, “That's great. This child is not old yet, so his heart is not complicated. After all, the heart grows with the body. Since our Mo family has helped him, he will definitely remember it. It would be good to cultivate it so that he can stand beside that Shouyi child when we die. This will ensure our Mo family will be safe for at least 100 years.”

“Yes, I know what to do. The Blue Spirit Pill should be completed tonight. I'll take her to see it together.” Mo Longjie nodded after pondering. Being able to reach the Blood Movement Realm at such an age proved that his future was limitless. However, next to him, Zheng Jie's head was lowered and his eyes were gloomy. He did not want Jiuge to threaten his position in the Mo family.

However, little did they know that Zhao Jiuge's ambition was not here—he wholeheartedly wanted to find a teacher to study and pursue the footsteps of that plainclothes woman. And how could Zhao Jiuge's achievement be something they could achieve? His goal could not be contained in the small Dong Yang City!

Mo Linger took Zhao Jiuge to the room and ran away like a happy sparrow to some unknown place, leaving Zhao Jiuge there. Zhao Jiuge carefully observed the room. Although simple, it is refreshing. As he looked into the room, Mo Linger returned with the clothes in her hands.

When Zhao Jiuge looked at Mo Linger, he felt a little embarrassed. If he had thought he was just enthusiastic before, he would have been foolish not to know his heart now, but his ambition did not lie here, and there was still that figure in his mind. Although he himself was not old, he felt Mo Linger was too young, so all he could do was act like a block of wood and accept the clothes.

Her clothes were very soft and delicate. They were made of unknown materials. His clothes were very rough in comparison. Zhao Jiuge looked at the girl, feeling embarrassed, and not knowing what to say. Finally, it was Mo Linger who told him to take a bath before lunch that helped resolve this awkward situation.

Zhao Jiuge let out a long sigh. He really did not know how to deal with this situation. He soaked in the bathtub and slowly relaxed. Once he settled the matter with the Xiao family, he would leave. This place is too small for him. Generally, the people in the Foundation Realm focused entirely on cultivating and ignoring other things where they were constantly fighting over worldly matters.

After she finished taking a bath, she put on the clothes that Mo Linger had brought for her and then she walked out of the room. Mo Ling'er was waiting outside. He saw Zhao Jiuge wearing the clothes he made. The clothes were made of black silk and were very fitting. He had a long sword on his back and his long hair was casually draped over his shoulder with a black cloth tying him up. His handsome face still contained a hint of gentleness due to his youth, and his relaxed eyes made Mo Linger's eyes glow. She grabbed the corner of her dress. Due to his embarrassment, he did not know where to put his hands, and he felt like his heart was drunk.

Zhao Jiuge arrived at the hall with Mo Linger, and the table was already filled with people. Other than Mo Longjie, Old Mo, and Zheng Jie, there was another young man wearing light armor with an aura similar to Zheng Jie's. Zhao Jiuge guessed that he should be another commander like Zheng Jie. After sitting down, he also noticed the young master of the Mo family, Mo Shouyi, whom he had not seen this morning.

During the banquet, Mo Shouyi found out that they were going to the auction tomorrow and felt annoyed at wanting to leave. Mo Longjie exploded in anger and scolded, “Look at yourself, you only know how to play. You are still only at Spirit Detection Realm — how can I feel at ease handing the Mo family over to you? Look at Jiuge, he is the same age as you and has reached the final stage of the Blood Movement Realm. You better stay at home and cultivate earnestly. If you don't break through, you're not going anywhere.” After scolding Mo Shouyi, Mo Longjie still felt angry as he looked at his unfilial son.

Mo Shouyi immediately became obedient and did not dare to speak with a face full of grievance. Zhao Jiuge looked at this scene and smiled. He could not help but envy the warmth of this family. When he first saw Zheng Jie, Zhao Jiuge felt like he was looking at a ferocious beast, but now Zheng Jiu looked at him with a grim expression like a snake, making Zhao Jiuge's heart feel uneasy.

Shortly after, a young man in black clothes said something next to Mo Longjie's ear. Then he told Zhao Jiuge to stay and told everyone to leave. They left together with Old Mo.

After leaving the hall, they followed the corridor to the courtyard. There were men in black clothes along the street patrolling. Zhao Jiuge wondered where they were going when the smell of medicine came from the front. A stone door was pushed open and a spectacular sight unfolded before him.

There was a half-man-high pill furnace in the middle of the stone room, and it was carved from some unknown material with three legs holding it back. The middle is hollow and has a pattern inside. The smell of the medicine was floating in the air. Zhao Jiuge only kissed a little and he already felt refreshed. The spiritual energy turned into pure spirit power within his body. He was surprised that the medicine could have such a powerful potential.

There was a skinny old man with white hair standing beside the pill furnace. He was staring at the furnace when the three people arrived, and he didn't even seem to notice them. The walls were surrounded by a wardrobe containing medical herbs that Zhao Jiuge could not name.

The three of them stood there for a while before Mo Longjie gently bowed and said, "Old Yao, are the Blue Spirit Pills ready to be opened?" Zhao Jiuge saw how respectful Mo Longjie was and wondered about the identity of this person.

"Yes, they're ready, but I don't know how much I've fixed." After old Yao finished speaking, he stared at the pill furnace with excitement and hope. Mo Longjie was excited as well. He took a deep breath and used his spirit power to open the pill furnace.

The moment the pill furnace opened, a strong medicinal smell spread out and a ray of blue light shone. After the smell gradually thinned out, everyone nervously looked inside the pill furnace to see seven glowing, blue, walnut-sized pills sitting inside the pill furnace.
