Beside the beautiful Mo Wenjie stood a group of lovely ladies, including the exquisite Ding Qingyao, the whimsical Huang Ling'er, the gentle Jiang Yuran, the clever Xiao Yawen, the lively Ding Yan, the imposing Tuo Bianyingyin, the charming Qin Xiaodie, the dignified Cao Chunling and the mysterious Jinsi; there was also Liang Yue, whose beauty made her irresistible. With hearts full of expectation in their chests, they made their way to Tuolua Palace. Continuing their quest for destiny.
The Duoshu Palace was enveloped in mist and clouds, filled with a mystical aura, resembling a fairyland. The group proceeded with caution, their eyes constantly scanning the surroundings for every blade of grass and tree, fearing they might miss any trace of opportunity.
Mo Wenjie walked in the lead, his posture straight, brows arched over starry eyes, exuding an aura of unearthly grace with every movement. The women behind him each shone in their own way, some graceful as swallows, others swaying like a graceful dance, others playful and spirited, forming a stunning landscape.
Ding Qingyao held a long sword, her expression focused, her beautiful eyes occasionally flashing with the light of wisdom; Huang Ling'er moved about like a cheerful little bird, hopping and peering around; Jiang Yuran gently swept her sleeves, smiling warmly, evoking a sense of warmth like spring; Xiao Yawen remained calm and composed, carefully observing the changes in the surrounding environment...
Thus, Mo Wenjie and the group ventured deeper into the woods near Duoshu Palace, not knowing what destiny awaited them. However, hope and anticipation filled every heart.
Suddenly, a melodious flute tune echoed. Mo Wenjie and the others grew alert and followed the sound. After clearing away a dense thicket, they found a young boy playing the flute, accompanied by a white deer. The boy saw them without alarm and stopped playing, saying, "Are you here seeking fortune?" Mo Wenjie stepped forward to bow and greet him, "Indeed, we hope for your guidance." The boy smiled slightly, "There is a spring of elixir here; those with cause may drink from it to enhance their power. But there is a guardian beast watching over it, and one must pass its test to do so." The group exchanged glances, their eyes filled with determination. Upon reaching the spring of elixir, the guardian beast was a huge qilin. The qilin spoke in human words: "If you wish to take the water from the spring, someone must endure my three attacks."
Mo Wenjie stepped forward, pouring all his spiritual power into himself. The first attack of the qilin was terrifying, and although Mo Wenjie managed to withstand it, he also suffered internal injuries. The second attack was even more fierce, but just as everyone thought Mo Wenjie was about to collapse, the group of women channeled their spiritual power into Mo Wenjie's body, and he managed to withstand the second attack successfully.
In the decisive moment that would determine the outcome, the final attack surged like thunderous waves! Facing such a fierce assault, Mo Wenjie's eyes widened abruptly, and a powerful aura emanating from him sent shivers down everyone's spine.
The power seemed to come from the ancient behemoths, brimming with boundless ferocity and majesty. Mo Wenjie's muscles tensed, every vein standing out prominently like a coiled dragon. He clenched his teeth, and a deep, heart-stopping roar of anger rumbled from his throat.
With the roar echoing, Mo Wenjie charged towards the final attack. For a moment, the light shone brightly, the qi flowed wildly, and the entire space was shrouded in violent energy fluctuations. However, Mo Wenjie stood firm, enduring the three formidable attacks without faltering.
The qilin, observing from the side, nodded slightly, expressing its approval of Mo Wenjie's performance. A barely noticeable glint of appreciation flickered in its deep-set eyes.
At this sight, the crowd erupted into cheers and jubilation. They rushed eagerly towards the spring, bending down to scoop up the clear, sweet water and drink it in one go. Instantly, a sense of cool refreshment spread throughout their bodies, followed by an overwhelming surge of spiritual energy surging like waves within them.
This spiritual energy felt like countless fine currents, rapidly flowing through every part of their bodies, nurturing every cell and meridian. Mo Wenjie and the other people felt their strength surge dramatically in an instant, as if their spirit had been reinvigorated. They were filled with excitement and vitality.
Just as the group was immersed in the joy of their enhanced strength, dark clouds suddenly blanketed the sky, followed by thunder and lightning. A foreboding voice echoed: "You dare to trespass here to seek fortune? This spring of elixir is mine." An old figure in a black robe appeared. Mo Wenjie stepped forward, his voice clear and commanding: "Elder, we were not aware that this spring of elixir belonged to you. If we have offended you in any way, please forgive us." The old man scoffed coldly: "What does ignorance justify? Humph! You must pay a price today."
The women gathered around Mo Wenjie, preparing to face the enemy together. Mo Wenjie thought fighting directly might not work and said, "Elder, we are willing to find other rare treasures to compensate you." The old man pondered for a moment, thinking that what Mo Wenjie said made some sense. After all, he was merely angry that others had used the spring of elixir without permission, and now if he could get more treasure, it would be a fair deal. "Very well," the old man said. "If you can find a millennium blood ginseng within three days, this matter will be settled."
Mo Wenjie was neither careless nor negligent. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Please allow me to comply!" Before his words could even fall, the old man waved his sleeves lightly, and in a flick of his robes, he vanished into thin air like a phantom.
Everyone present witnessed the spectacle and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although they were well aware that the new and daunting challenges that lay ahead would test them to their limits, after glancing at each other with mutual understanding, they all unconsciously smiled in relief. Because just a short time ago, through rigorous cultivation and trials, everyone's strength had seen a significant improvement. Now, with their confidence and courage at full bloom, they resolutely set off on the quest to find the legendary millennium blood ginseng.
The millennium blood ginseng is an extremely rare treasure, growing in places where human footprints are rare, often surrounded by numerous dangers and powerful guardian beasts. However, the group firmly believed that with their current strength and as long as they worked together and pressed on resolutely, they would definitely be able to overcome all difficulties and successfully find this longed-for treasure, thereby achieving their grand aspirations.
Mo Wenjie led the women towards the mountains where he remembered there might be a millennium blood ginseng. Along the way, they cut through thorns and thickets, eventually reaching a deep mountain shrouded in clouds. As soon as they stepped into the mountain, they encountered a group of attacking snakes, and everyone used their own magic to defend themselves. After the snakes retreated, they found faint glows on a cliff wall.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an ancient formation. Mo Wenjie studied it for a while and directed the women to position themselves to break the formation. As soon as the formation was broken, a beam of gold shot up into the sky, within which was indeed the millennium blood ginseng. However, at the same time, the divine beast Bailin appeared. Bailin said that if they wanted to take away the blood ginseng, they would need to solve the riddle he had set down. Mo Wenjie remained calm and composed, thinking together with the women to solve the riddle.
Just as failure seemed imminent, Mo Wenjie suddenly came up with an answer. After Bailin acknowledged it, the group successfully obtained the millennium blood ginseng. On their way back, Mo Wenjie worried that the black-cloaked elder might change his mind, so they discussed a plan of action. Upon returning to their original spot, the black-cloaked elder appeared, greatly pleased to see the millennium blood ginseng and honored his agreement by allowing them to leave. Overjoyed, Mo Wenjie and his companions continued on their path of cultivation and quest for more opportunities.
The group made their way along the winding mountain path. Soon, they entered a mysterious forest. The trees here were towering, and the intertwined branches cast dappled light on the ground. Suddenly, the ground shook, and a giant armadillo burst out of the soil. Mo Wenjie stepped forward to block its path, while the women formed an array behind him. The armadillo spat out sand and stones, and Mo Wenjie agilely dodged while counterattacking. Huang Ling'er stealthily moved to its back and used a spell to distract its attention. Mo Wenjie seized the opportunity to deliver a full-force strike, which injured the armadillo and caused it to retreat into the ground and flee away.
Continuing forward, they encountered a wide river with churning waves and as if there were hidden currents beneath. Jiang Yu rou used her control water magic to attempt to find a path, but she discovered an eerie force pulling at the water. Mo Wenjie threw out a treasure, transforming it into a golden bridge spanning the river. The group crossed the bridge quickly, but as soon as they landed on the shore, the golden bridge was swept away by the river currents.
Continuing deeper, they discovered a cave emitting an unusual fragrance. Upon entering, they found the cave filled with precious herbs and minerals. Just as they were overjoyed, a large stone fell from the cave's ceiling.
Mo Wenjie quickly waved his hands, muttering under his breath, and a powerful energy instantly gathered before him, forming a transparent yet sturdy shield. At the same time, the others also unleashed their powers and worked together to push the massive stone.
As they continued to exert their strength, the huge stone began to move slowly. Every inch of progress was particularly arduous, but no one gave up. Everyone clenched their teeth and persevered. Finally, after much effort, the huge stone was successfully pushed away!
Just then, the previously closed stone door emitted a low, profound rumble and slowly opened to the side. In an instant, a brilliant and dazzling light shot out from the gap, illuminating the entire space. This light was as bright as the sun, making it almost impossible to look directly at it.
Mo Wenjie took a deep breath, as if drawing in all the courage and power surrounding him. He slowly closed his eyes and tried to calm down the excitement that had caused his heart to race. After a moment, when he reopened his eyes, his gaze was filled with determination and resolve.
Without hesitation, Mo Wenjie and the other women - Ding Qingyao, Huang Linger, Jiang Yu Rou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuo Yingying, Qin Xiaodie, Cao Chunling. Jin Chongxianzi and Ling Xue - walked resolutely towards the mysterious stone door. Each step they took was firm and powerful, as if they were stepping on solid ground. Although each step was very difficult, none of them retreated. Their bravery and strength were truly admirable!
