"I heard from Feng Yi that she focuses all her attention on heresies and never on cultivation," Mo Xuanye said. "She can't endure the hardships of cultivation."
Feng Yuqin nodded. "To improve one's cultivation strength, enduring hardships is a must."
Although it's good for cultivators to enhance their strength through hard work, many people from powerful families still rely on pills to boost their power.
This is why their performance in battles is often subpar.
The strength built solely on pills is unstable, and they'll be in trouble when facing powerful enemies.
"Yes, many people are sheltered by their families. Even when they go on adventures, they won't choose extremely dangerous places. After all, with a powerful family background, they can get whatever they want. Over time, they'll think that since they can obtain these things without hard work, why bother?" Mo Xuanye knew all these very well.
It was precisely because of this understanding that he had never paid much attention to Mu Weizhu before.
A person like her who was so unmotivated would be doomed if she left her family.
He would never waste his time and energy on such a person.
For those more hard - working disciples in the Baiyan Sect, he would allocate more cultivation resources.
Fortunately, Mu Weizhu was the daughter of the sect master, so her resources were provided by the sect master.
As long as the resources weren't from him, it didn't matter how much others gave to Mu Weizhu.
Feng Yuqin smiled. "If Mu Weizhu knew how poorly you thought of her, she might die of shame and anger."
Mo Xuanye gave her a helpless look and said dotingly, "Qin'er, a person like her is very afraid of death. Even if she knew, she might feel hatred, but she would never have the thought of suicide."
Feng Yuqin thought for a while and realized he was right. "A person like Mu Weizhu probably thinks the whole world is wrong except herself."
Mo Xuanye reached out and ruffled her hair, saying gently, "So we can see Mu Weizhu and her group ahead. Use your spatial domain to conceal your aura. I guess the direction they're going is the same as ours."
Feng Yuqin nodded and used her spatial domain to hide her aura. Mo Xuanye also had his own way of concealing his presence.
The two walked forward, keeping a certain distance.
Judging from the direction, it was indeed the direction of the strange commotion they intended to go.
"Does she sense something ahead?" Feng Yuqin asked curiously. "There's danger over there. Logically, she shouldn't go, considering how afraid of death she is. But she did. That's quite strange."
Mo Xuanye also couldn't figure out why this was the case. "Maybe it's because of the Six Fiends. She's become bolder, thinking that although the place of the commotion is dangerous, there must be treasures. So she's going in that direction with the Six Fiends by her side."
Feng Yuqin thought that if there were no other reasons, this one was probably quite reliable.
"I have a premonition that my life will change greatly after going to the place of the commotion," Feng Yuqin said with a frown.
In fact, the closer she got to that direction, the more obvious that strange feeling in her heart became.
Mo Xuanye tightly held her hand. "No matter what changes occur, I'll always be by your side."
Feng Yuqin gave him a charming smile. "Your words have reduced that strange feeling in my heart a lot and given me a sense of security."
Mo Xuanye also smiled, and his gaze at her became even more profound and doting.
When it got dark, a three - story black tower came into Feng Yuqin's sight.
"They should have gone inside," Feng Yuqin said.
They had wasted some time picking herbs and dealing with monsters before.
By the time they saw the black tower, Mu Weizhu's figure was nowhere to be seen.
Mo Xuanye pulled her and continued walking forward.
This time, Feng Yuqin and Mo Xuanye were very leisurely. Feng Yuqin thought that probably only the two of them could walk so leisurely in the secret realm.
When they reached the front of the black tower, there was a force surrounding it.
The two scanned the surroundings. There was nothing else, not even a single monster. Then they stepped inside.
The moment they entered the black tower, Feng Yuqin clearly felt that the pulling force became stronger.
There were many treasures on the first floor. Xiaojin, who was in the spatial domain, got excited when he saw them. "Master, master, quickly take the treasures!"
After Xiaojin said that, he came out of the spatial domain.
Then, Feng Yuqin saw Xiaojin start to sweep up the treasures on this floor.
There were all kinds of treasures here.
However, while Feng Yuqin was sweeping up the treasures with Xiaojin, she also looked at Mo Xuanye curiously and asked, "Mu Weizhu should have come in. Why didn't she take these treasures?"
"Maybe they didn't reach the first floor," Mo Xuanye guessed.
There were so many things on the first floor. As long as someone came in, it was impossible not to take anything.
But he saw that there was no sign of anyone touching the things here, not even any footprints.
"Now that you mention it, I think this black tower is even more mysterious," Feng Yuqin said.
Mo Xuanye also had this feeling at this moment.
He hadn't felt this way when he was outside before.
Feng Yuqin was relying on that pulling force to sense things.
Mo Xuanye held Feng Yuqin's hand even tighter. "Stay close to me."
Feng Yuqin nodded.
After they had swept up all the things inside, Xiaojin happily returned to the spatial domain to count the treasures he had obtained this time.
Feng Yuqin and Mo Xuanye continued walking forward.
Suddenly, a powerful force attacked. It was so powerful that Feng Yuqin couldn't even resist.
Mo Xuanye's face changed drastically. He wanted to tightly hold Feng Yuqin's hand.
But that force directly severed their bond.
Mo Xuanye wanted to quickly get back to Feng Yuqin's side and hold her tightly.
But a violent wind swept around them, separating the two.
"Qin'er..." Mo Xuanye's eyes were bloodshot with despair as he watched a black force sweep Feng Yuqin away.
When Feng Yuqin could move again, she found that Mo Xuanye was gone, and the environment around her had changed.
A look of anxiety flashed across her eyes, and she started calling out, "Mo Xuanye..."
Xiaojin also reacted and asked, "Master, is the master gone?"
Feng Yuqin didn't even have time to answer Xiaojin. She immediately took out the communication stone to contact Mo Xuanye.
But the communication stone showed no reaction at all.
She then started frantically searching for Mo Xuanye's trace.
Soon, she found that she was on the third floor.
There were records on it about some events on the third floor.
Feng Yuqin's face turned pale as she asked Xiaojin, "Xiaojin, we were just on the first floor. How did we suddenly get to the third floor? What about the second floor? Could Mo Xuanye be on the third floor?"
