Inside the inn.
Hidden Sword was bored to death. It tossed the jade box containing the Ice Spirit Fire Seed up and down, back and forth, making the Western Rat King's eyelids twitch.
It clearly remembered that the shopkeeper of the Thousand Treasures Tower warned that the Ice Spirit Fire Seed was extremely unstable and could explode at any time.
It hurriedly looked at Lu Qingshan with its eyes full of pleading. It wanted Lu Qingshan to stop Hidden Sword's dangerous behavior.
Lu Qingshan glanced at the nervous Western Rat King and remained indifferent.
"Why didn't Master Mo set a meeting place in advance? Instead, he made us wait here. "Hidden Sword was a little irritated.
"It's quite normal. If he told us the time and place in advance, once we had second thoughts, we might make various arrangements to deal with him.
But if he didn't say anything, then the initiative is in his hands. He can appear to meet us after confirming that it's safe. "Lu Qingshan comforted.
Hidden Sword wrinkled its nose in dissatisfaction and muttered in a low voice, "He has so many tricks."
Lu Qingshan heard Hidden Sword's complaint and chuckled, but did not say anything.
The little girl was not stupid. On the contrary, she was quite clever and understood many things with a hint.
She just lacked some experience. After all, there were a lot of ways of the world that could only be understood after experiencing them.
Western Rat King's eyes suddenly lit up, showing an expression of relief. He reminded, "Someone's coming!"
The next moment, a black shadow flashed, and an extremely short cultivator appeared in the room.
Spiritual Master Fifth Dwarf.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Lu, Fellow Daoist Hidden." Once Fifth Dwarf appeared, he first greeted the two and then asked, "Has the Ice Spirit Fire Seed been obtained?"
Hidden Sword waved the jade box in his hand at Spiritual Master Fifth Dwarf. "It's here!"
"Since the Ice Spirit Fire Seed has been obtained, Master Mo should have come to find you personally, but his situation is special, so it's not convenient for him to appear directly." Fifth Dwarf said in a deep voice, "I can only trouble you two to come with me. I'll take you to see Master Mo."
Lu Qingshan waved his hand. "It's a small matter. Just lead the way."
…
In a quiet courtyard in the south of the city.
Under the guidance of Daoist Master Five Dwarfs, Hidden Sword and Lu Qingshan appeared at the gate of the courtyard.
Knock — knock knock —
Daoist Master Five Dwarfs stepped forward and knocked on the door. The rhythm and frequency of the knocking were very particular. It was obviously a special signal.
The door to the courtyard opened silently.
"Master Mo is waiting for you inside." The one who opened the door was Reverend Newmoon.
Shorty Five led Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingshan straight into the hall.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, Fellow Daoist Zang." Mo Yan was already waiting in the hall. When he saw the two of them arrive, he immediately stood up and greeted them in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.
Hidden Sword did not waste any more time. He took out the jade box containing the Ice Spirit Fire Seed from his storage ring. He took off the Fire Suppression Talisman and opened the jade box to show Mo Yan the Ice Spirit Fire Seed.
"This is what you wanted." After showing it to Mo Yan, Hidden Sword immediately closed the jade box and kept it.
Mo Yan naturally understood the meaning behind the small sword. He waved his hand and Fa Shui hurriedly stepped forward. "Master Mo."
Mo Yan said to Hidden Sword, "Who are you looking for?"
Hidden Sword looked at Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan was already prepared. "We don't know the specific name or appearance."
Fa Shui's face immediately revealed a troubled expression. "This … if there is no information, where should we start …"
Lu Qingshan said casually, "Of course, it's impossible that we don't have any information at all. You only need to help me find out who has bought a large batch of Mulberry Luo wine on Flood Dragon Island in the past twenty years, or who has bought Mulberry Luo wine frequently.
When he and Hidden Sword were scouring Jiao Dragon City, they heard an interesting rumor.
The head of Dragon Spring's Mo family had been addicted to alcohol for a hundred years.
It must be known that once one was addicted to alcohol, it was extremely difficult to get rid of it.
Not to mention that the head of Mo family had encountered a major event like the collapse of his family. Normally, when faced with such a situation, those who did not drink would most likely start to drown their sorrows in alcohol. How could someone who was already addicted to alcohol give up drinking?
At that time, he also asked around and learned that the most famous wine on Dragon Spring Island was Mulberry Fall Wine.
Based on the current information, it was easy to deduce that if the head of Mo family was really living in seclusion on Dragon Island, then there was an extremely high possibility that he had bought Mulberry Fall Wine.
"Moreover, this person should have appeared on Serpent Dragon Island abruptly in the past 20 years," Lu Qingshan added.
"Do you understand?" Mo Yan said in a deep voice, showing a rare dignified side of him.
Fa Shui said respectfully, "Understood. I'll go and investigate right away."
Mo Yan nodded. "Alright, you may leave. Find something as soon as possible. Don't let these two fellow daoists wait too long."
Fa Shui hurriedly retreated.
"We should be able to find something within a day," Mo Yan said to Lu Qingshan.
Even though Lu Qingshan's request was very strange, Mo Yan did not ask about it.
Lu Qingshan cupped his hands to express his gratitude. "Thank you for your trouble."
Mo Yan thought for a moment and said to Hidden Sword, who was holding a jade box, "Fellow Daoist Hidden, I've already given the order. Can you give the Ice Spirit Fire Seed to me?"
Mo Yan paused for a moment and explained, "It's not that urgent. It's just that this Ice Spirit Fire Seed might bring you danger if it's in your hands."
"It's most dangerous if it's in your hands …"
Hidden Sword was about to refute when Lu Qingshan stopped him. Looking at Mo Yan's calm expression, he seemed to have understood something. "Grandmaster Mo already knew there was a problem with this fire seed?"
Mo Yan said calmly, "After you took the Ice Spirit Fire Seed from the Myriad Treasures Tower, I had people carefully observe. None of the cultivators from the Sea Divinity Sect paid any attention to you or followed you."
"I didn't tell you before, but this fire seed should be a trap set up by the Sea Divinity Sect to lure me into action.
Since the Sea Divinity Sect wants to use this Ice Spirit Fire Seed to kill us and pay no attention to the two who bought it, it can only mean that this Ice Spirit Fire Seed is not simple. "Mo Yan said firmly. At the same time, he wanted to persuade Hidden Sword to hand over the Ice Spirit Fire Seed to him.
"Since you know that this Ice Spirit Fire Seed is not simple, then you still want it?" Lu Qingshan said meaningfully.
"The Sea Divinity Sect wants to scheme against me, so why don't I beat them at their own game and turn them against them?
I want the Ice Spirit Fire Seed, and I want the lives of the Sea Divinity Sect cultivators. I want them to suffer a double loss. " Mo Yan held the pearl of wisdom and his eyes sparkled. "Fellow Daoist Lu and Fellow Daoist Hidden, are you interested in staying and watching a good show?"
Lu Qingshan was startled at first, but in the face of Mo Yan's confidence, he was indeed a little interested. "Sure, we're waiting for the news."
Hidden Sword's eyes flashed with excitement, and he looked ready to move.
The little girl's sense of novelty was always strong.
