. After a burst of gulping, Mo Tang noticed that Xiao Yixian's aura suddenly surged, and she had actually broken through to the Seven-Star Dou Huang realm...
"You...you, this is a bit too abnormal, isn't it?"
Swallowing energy to break through directly, this cheat is even more terrifying than mine!
Xiao Yixian rolled her eyes at Mo Tang and said in a tone of coquettishness, "What are you talking about! I was already at the peak of Six Stars before. After the previous battle, the bottleneck has been loosened. This time is just a coincidence." "
Besides, this place is very suitable for my current cultivation. I believe that if I were to cultivate here, my cultivation speed would definitely be several times faster than outside!"
Mo Tang raised an eyebrow at this, looking at the delicate face across from him, and said, "You have a hidden meaning in your words... Do you still want to stay in this place to cultivate for a long time?"
Xiao Yixian smiled slightly, and also heard that Mo Tang was definitely dissatisfied with this. She immediately said softly, "Of course not for a long time, but at least a few months should be fine. At the very least, you have to break through to the Dou Zong realm, so that I can better help you..." Mo
Tang fell silent.
This is indeed a good choice.
But, is this girl already so confident now?
A few months? Dou Zong?
Going from Seven-Star Dou Huang to Dou Zong might take many a lifetime...
Consider Jia Xingtian, who's still at the peak of Dou Huang... If this old man heard this, he'd probably be crying in the bathroom right now, right?
"Okay, let's talk about this later. I need to go in and search for something right now, so why don't you just practice here first..."
Before Mo Tang could finish, Little Medical Fairy's expression grew serious.
"This Poison Soul Valley is extremely dangerous. If you want to go deeper, I'll go with you!"
Mo Tang smiled slightly and said, "No need. With the Queen with us, we can handle any danger."
He glanced at Queen Medusa, who had been standing nearby for a while.
"You only remembered me when you needed to? Humph!"
Queen Medusa sneered, a hint of sarcasm tugging at the corner of her mouth.
"How could that be..."
Mo Tang smiled awkwardly and touched his nose.
Little Medical Fairy frowned slightly, slightly dissatisfied with Medusa's attitude.
Although she had just been grateful for the woman's help, she somehow found herself feeling uncomfortable looking at her, as if their natures didn't mesh.
Seeing the atmosphere shift, Mo Tang quickly interrupted, saying, "Alright, alright, let's go in and take a look. It's said there's a ruin deep within this Poison Soul Valley. Let's explore it together and see if we can find something valuable!"
Having reassured the two women, Mo Tang and his companions continued deeper.
Of course, beforehand, Mo Tang had maintained his habit of searching the corpses.
Unfortunately, these people were clearly not wealthy, and their meager gains left Mo Tang uninterested.
As for the Iron Guardian, even less so.
Aside from a soul bag filled with souls, there was nothing else!
Mo Tang couldn't help but curse, "Trash!"
As they went deeper, the venomous insects and beasts they encountered grew increasingly powerful. Mo Tang even spotted a fifth-level Iron-Scarred Poison Python...
However, with a Serpent Queen like Queen Medusa and a naturally venomous body like Little Medical Fairy, the Iron-Scarred Poison Python scurried away the moment it detected their presence.
However, adhering to the principle of thriftiness and avoiding waste, Mo Tang gave chase and directly dispatched the Poison Seal Python, which, frightened by the two women, dared not raise its head, harvesting a fifth-level magic core.
"Tsk, tsk, not bad..."
The system's assessment indicated that this magic core could convert over 100 points of intermediate energy, indicating that it was indeed a peak-level fifth-level Poison Seal Python.
The Little Medical Fairy nearby observed Mo Tang's actions and asked curiously, "Why, Mo Tang, do you really need these magic cores?"
Mo Tang, who had been basking in delight, paused for a moment and said, "Uh... not bad. I do need magic cores above fourth level..."
Before he could finish his words, the Little Medical Fairy threw something at him.
"What's this?"
Mo Tang, holding a rather attractive snakeskin bag, looked bewildered.
The Little Medical Fairy waved her hand, saying, "Nothing much. Just some magic cores left behind by some monsters I've hunted over the years. I don't see much use for them. Since you want them, I'll give them to you."
Mo Tang was a little surprised, but he didn't refuse the offer.
But when he saw the dozens of colorful magic cores in the bag, he was startled.
"You... how many monsters have you killed?"
Compared to Mo Tang's fuss, Xiao Yixian was much calmer. She simply said, "Most of them are poisonous creatures. I just need the materials from them, so I'm keeping these magic cores."
With a twitch of his lips, Mo Tang felt that the girl's hands were definitely covered in blood.
But...
"Another 1890 energy points. I don't even want to fight anymore..."
Adding the over 1,500 points from before, he was just a few dozen points away from reaching Nine-Star Dou Wang.
But Mo Tang wasn't in a rush now, as collecting those few energy points in a place like this was easy.
After walking for another ten minutes, Mo Tang dispatched two fourth-tier Earth Tiger Scorpions, finally accumulating enough energy points to reach Nine-Star Dou Wang.
Without hesitation, he ascended.
Having just been angered by Xiao Yixian's Versailles-like remarks, Mo Tang wanted to justify his role as the protagonist.
Seeing Mo Tang's sudden surge of aura, the two women couldn't help but look in amazement.
"Oh, I accidentally leveled up!"
Xiao Yixian couldn't help but smile at Mo Tang's pretentiousness, while Queen Medusa gave him a look of disdain and a single word...
"Childish!"
However, when both Mo Tang and Xiao Yixian's gazes simultaneously shifted to her, our queen suddenly felt uneasy.
"What are you looking at? I'm not a pervert like you!"
Queen Medusa, visibly ashamed and furious, glared at the two and turned away.
Being with these two wretches shattered the Queen's slightest bit of pride...
About a quarter of an hour later, a massive stone gate appeared before Mo Tang and the other two...
According to the map, the ruins lay beyond this gate.
The two women simultaneously glanced at Mo Tang, and after a nod from him, Queen Medusa was the first to step through the stone gate, followed by Mo Tang and Little Medical Fairy.
After entering the stone gate, the three couldn't help but pause.
Before them lay a series of vast halls...
Although most of these halls had become ruins, their scale still revealed their former grandeur.
"It looks like the ruins of some ancient sect. It's a pity that time has passed and everything here has been destroyed..."
