“He didn’t cultivate?”
Upon hearing Mo Xueling’s words, the expression of the Mofeng Lord God paused, he exclaimed in surprise, “He didn’t cultivate even for a moment?” Palace Master Liu laughed bitterly, saying, “This indeed matches the character of Young Friend Yang. He is most whimsical in his actions, incredibly lazy in his daily life, and no one can truly guess what he’s thinking.”
A look of amused helplessness flashed across Peak Master Mo’s face as he said to Mo Xueling, “Even so, Ling’er, you should not disturb Young Friend Yang anymore, let him enjoy his time as much as he wants. As long as he can help us out in the Mobei Abyss, he will have done us a great favor.”
Elder Mo, standing to the side, had a gloomy expression as he said sternly, “Even if that Yang Zhen has come, we should be thankful to heaven and earth if he doesn’t hinder our main business. Even if he knows some artifact refining, can he be stronger than the various Artifact Refining Masters recruited by my Ink Pool Peak?”
Originally being oppressed by Weizhentian had already made him feel quite embarrassed. Now hearing that Mo Xueling’s first thought in this difficult moment was actually Yang Zhen, Elder Mo felt a bit uncomfortable.
Without being able to improve the performance of Ink Wind, Elder Mo and the others were to blame. At this time, Mo Xueling would rather put her hopes on Yang Zhen, who had no prestigious name in artifact refining. This made Elder Mo uncomfortable, his expression turning somewhat ugly.
Regardless of how monstrous the legendary Yang Zhen was, could he really have a high level of attainments in artifact refining?
Peak Master Mo laughed heartily, comforting Elder Mo by saying, “Elder Mo, you need not concern yourself. Our Ling’er is so direct, she’s just interested in Yang Zhen, we should understand.”
Elder Mo shook his head and said, “Master, rest assured, I am not a petty person. Moreover, Yang Zhen’s dazzling performance in the Ice Cave does deserve our respect. It’s just that I can’t calm down because I couldn’t think of a way to suppress Weizhentian.”
At this point, Elder Mo hummed lightly and said to Mo Xuehng, “Lingnu is still young and Yang Zhen’s character is playful and free, it is inevitable that she has been captivated by him. However, even if Yang Zhen has high talent in cultivation, he can’t excel at everything. The path of artifact refining is vast and profound, it isn’t as simple as forging a few spirit artifacts to be considered a master. This complex knowledge is not of interest to Lingnu, but please Lingnu, be realistic and do not conflate cultivation talent with artifact refining skills.”
Hearing Elder Mo’s words, Peak Master Mo and Palace Master Liu exchanged glances, both laughing bitterly.
In the field of artifact refining, Elder Mo was definitely the most outstanding figure in the Northern Island. If he had no solution, who could?
However, Mo Xueling’s eyes widened, and she chuckled softly, saying to Elder Mo, “Elder Mo, why are you so nervous? Ling’er was just talking casually. Don’t take it seriously. What’s more, even if Ling’er goes to find Yang Zhen, it doesn’t necessarily mean he has to refine a flying device. It’s enough to let him show up and annoy the Separation Star Sect.
“Eh?” Elder Mo let out a soft exclamation, then laughed heartily, “That’s indeed a good idea. Yang Zhen is not interested in the flying device competition and can’t help us much. That’s a good thing. After all, he has just made such a big name for himself, it would truly be a pity if he loses face in the flying device competition and ruins his reputation.”
Seeing Elder Mo’s self-satisfied expression, Mo Xuehng secretly pursed her lips, and after excusing herself to Peak Master Mo and Palace Master Liu, she quietly left the hall.
As she was about to leave the hall, Mo Xueling, intentionally or not, muttered under her breath, “That bastard Yang Zhen’s accomplishments in artifact refining might be higher than everyone present.
“You!” Elder Mo was so angry he was on the verge of exploding, staring fiercely at Mo Xueling’s retreating figure.
Peak Master Mo hurriedly mollified him, saying, “Elder Mo, don’t be angry… this girl is…”
At this point, Peak Master Mo sighed heavily, looking strangely at Mo Xueling, murmuring to himself, “Could this be what they call… a girl coming of age?” Hearing this, the numerous disciples of the Ink Pool Peak in attendance were all taken aback, looking at Peak Master Mo with shock on their faces.
Even Elder Mo was taken aback, his eyes wide in disbelief as he stared at Peak Master Mo with a strange expression and asked, “Does Yang Zhen truly possess such charm that even Mo Lingnu is smitten with him?”
Peak Master Mo offered a bitter smile and said, “To say she’s smitten might be overstating it. It’s more out of her curiosity. Elder Mo, are we really unable to deal with the formidable adversary?”
Elder Mo grimaced, shook his head, and said, “Unless Ink Wind and the Lightning Shuttle can coordinate and boost their combined attack, we will definitely be suppressed by him.”
Peak Master Mo and the Palace Master exchanged a glance, both sighing, “At this point, we have no other choice.”
Elder Mo laughed heartily and said, “Peak Master, Palace Master, there’s no need to be so dismayed. As far as I know, many sects competing in this flying machine tournament possess crafts no less formidable. Even the emerging ancient families have shown great interest in this competition and many have started researching flying crafts. There might be some surprises on the day of the competition.”
Peak Master Mo laughed heartily and said, “In that case, we needn’t worry excessively. As long as any ancient tribe or sect can defeat him, we can finally hold our heads high.”
The Palace Master also laughed and said, “Exactly, as long as we don’t allow Liang Lie to become overly arrogant and complacent. Yang Zhen has managed to trap Liang Lie to the point where he hasn’t recovered yet. This is gratifying indeed.”
Peak Master Mo and the Palace Master exchanged smiles, and said, “Given Liang Lie’s character, he will certainly not let Yang Zhen go easily. My invitation for Yang Zhen to come to Ink Pool Peak had this in mind. As long as Yang Zhen is at Ink Pool Peak, Liang Lie, despite being audacious, wouldn’t dare to stir trouble here!”
“That’s good. It’s a pity though that Yang Zhen seems genuinely uninterested in the flying machine competition. I was somewhat hoping that if he participated, he might shake things up.”
Peak Master Mo was momentarily taken aback and expressed his interest saying, “Regardless of how he shakes things up, as long as the Separation Star Sect doesn’t clinch the first place, all will be well!”
“Yes, the first place gets to enter the Mobei Abyss first. Albeit dangerous, if they manage to get in, we might not be able to. The Desolate Heavenly True Pattern would then be in danger.”
“That’s why if it’s possible for us to secure first place, we must!” Peak Master Mo said solemnly to Elder Mo, “The combo attack of the Lightning Shuttle and Mo Fan’s craft, it’s imperative that Elder Mo and the others pay extra attention to it.”
Elder Mo laughed and said, “Rest assured, Peak Master. Even if it means using every last bit of this old body, I won’t let the Separation Star Sect become too arrogant.”
At Ink Pool Peak, in a nondescript corner, Yang Zhen and his dealer companions sneaked into a cave.
Yang Zhen curiously asked, “So the top position gives the right to enter Mobei Abyss first?”
“Of course!” The dealer cat said, “What else do you think they are making such a fuss about this flying machine competition for?”
Yang Zhen exclaimed with curiosity, “Did you guys find out why one needs a flying machine to enter the Mobei Abyss? Can’t we just fly in using a sword?” The dealer cat hesitated and said, “No, it seems like there is a bizarre creature in the Mobei Abyss. These creatures are incredibly sensitive to living beings and flesh. The moment a living being enters, they would be stripped to the bone in a blink of an eye.”
“What the hell? That horrific?” Yang Zhen was shocked..
