Chapter 383: Chapter 382: Infiltrating the Mo Family Secret Grounds
Xie Jiuniang stayed in the Small Tortoise Shell for three days.
The Jian Lingyan monitored the outside people for three days, "Dog master, those people bathe every day and don’t do much else."
Xie Jiuniang was taken aback, then chuckled, "Perhaps the bathwater is somewhat special."
From Jian Lingyan’s description, those people’s condition wasn’t good, requiring daily medicinal baths. The Nascent Soul Medical Cultivators of the Mo Family seemed to be overworked, coming together to treat people, and even allowing a few Divinity Transformation cultivators to share a medicinal pool.
Really lacking in refinement!
After Xie Jiuniang commented on the matter.
The outside was broad daylight, guessing the time was about right, she then used the Time Leaf, activating foresight.
[About a quarter of an hour later, a female medical cultivator of the Mo Family will come from the Osmanthus Grove.
The female medical cultivator will deliver Spirit Plants to the highest cavern dwelling, and after completion, she will return.]
Xie Jiuniang secretly rendered the person unconscious and took her into the Small Tortoise Shell.
She searched and found the person’s identity token, disguised herself as Lin Wangchen with a mask, openly using the female medical cultivator’s identity token and fresh blood in broad daylight to open a hidden passage.]
Xie Jiuniang entered.
At the end of the passage, she saw a small Transmission Array.
She stepped onto the Transmission Array.
Activated the Transmission Array, and the teleportation succeeded...]
She came out from foresight voluntarily.
These things had already been foreseen by Xie Jiuniang before coming to Medical Immortal Valley; this time was just a precautionary confirmation. Thus, infiltrating successfully was no surprise.
She waited a quarter of an hour.
Someone passed through the Osmanthus Grove and arrived at the Mo Family’s forbidden ground.
The newcomer was a beautiful female cultivator with a bright and delicate face, wearing a celestial white gown unique to Medical Immortal Valley, her aura around her clean and pure as if she were naive to worldly matters.
From the exquisite outfit, it could be seen that she supposedly came from the direct line of the family.
Wanted to open the Transmission Array to the secret ground.
Required the fresh blood of the Mo Family Clan’s direct lineage.
Over these three days, people had come to the forbidden ground to deliver items, but Xie Jiuniang hadn’t made a move, waiting specifically for this direct descendant.
Xie Jiuniang sighed, "This is a beautiful and kind little fairy."
"Don’t you have a grudge against the Mo Family?" Jian Lingyan wondered at her reaction.
The Little Fatty waved his podgy little arms, "Grudge, grudge grudge."
Xie Jiuniang laughed lightly, "That’s not a conflict."
What she had a grudge and conflict with were certain higher-ups of the Mo Family.
It had little to do with these small fries.
After all, it was their first meeting; how could there be any hatred?
In matters of grudges and resentments, Xie Jiuniang was very clear. Even if these families had been eyeing the Child of Destiny for a long time, what did past grievances against the Child of Destiny have to do with her?
What she had always done was to avenge herself and settle her own grievances.
Not to bear destiny and be an enemy of certain families.
Even if in reality it might seem the case, deep down, Xie Jiuniang wouldn’t admit it.
What is destiny?
She never bothered to think about it.
She only wanted to live strenuously and deal with grievances and grudges happily!
When the female medical cultivator entered the forbidden ground, delivered the items, and was returning, she smelled a faint scent of medicine by a large rock.
This is bad, there’s a thief!
The female medical cultivator became alert, and before she could faint, she disappeared from the spot.
Taken into the Small Tortoise Shell by Xie Jiuniang.
Before the female medical cultivator fainted, she saw the face of the thief, "It’s actually that dog thief Lin Wangchen..."
Xie Jiuniang smiled.
Indeed, she was Lin Wangchen.
He took the adversary’s waist token and cut the wrist of the medical cultivator woman, collecting half a bowl of blood with a small jade bowl. Then, he sprinkled a thin layer of hemostatic powder over the woman’s wound.
Sword Spirit Jian Lingyan was confused, "Dog master, wouldn’t it be safer for you to disguise yourself as her to enter the secret grounds?"
"The flaw is too obvious. Don’t forget who gave me the face-changing technique," he replied.
Xie Jiuniang had indeed considered it.
Once truly disguised, the Mo Family would soon realize someone had impersonated a direct descendant to sneak into the family’s secret ground, which would quickly lead them to think of her.
In that case, it would be better to maintain the guise of Lin Wangchen from beginning to end.
Afterward, when the Mo Family used the Retrospection Technique to investigate, the person they would always see is Lin Wangchen.
Clad in her cloak, Xie Jiuniang stepped out from the Small Tortoise Shell and immediately became invisible without utilizing spiritual power. Treading on the likewise stealthy Broken Sword, she flew towards a passageway entrance beneath the cliff.
The entrance was on a rock face.
To the naked eye, it appeared to be an ordinary rock face.
Initially, to find this entrance, Xie Jiuniang suffered several deaths in her premonitions, finally stirring the snake in the grass with her moves and finding this place with the help of the people from the Mo Family.
Xie Jiuniang took out a drop of blood from the medical cultivator woman.
She hurled it at the rock face in an instant.
Upon contact with the rock, the blood caused a barrier to ripple up, emitting a faint red light.
Sword Spirit Jian Lingyan reminded her, "This is a bloodline barrier; no wonder it requires the Mo Family’s blood to activate. Normally, only a member of the Mo family could enter. What do you plan to do?"
As an outsider, Xie Jiuniang was certain to be barred entry.
"Barriers are inanimate, while people are not," Xie Jiuniang said as she put on the woman’s token and formed a faint spiritual force shield with the remaining half bowl of fresh blood.
She had used the spiritual force shield very cunningly, merely covering her skin with it.
With that, she plunged into the barrier.
The barrier did not repel her, evidently recognizing her as an acceptable entrant.
Sword Spirit Jian Lingyan was astounded, "That worked?"
"That’s because you’ve seen too little," Xie Jiuniang replied calmly.
This method was somewhat underhanded.
Yet, it was incredibly appropriate and had been discovered in a book of less orthodox methods.
Past the barrier was a passageway.
The passageway was illuminated by luminous stones, so it was not dark.
Xie Jiuniang sped through the passageway, arriving at the interior as swiftly as she could, where she indeed found a small transmission array.
She stuffed top-grade spiritual stones into several grooves of the transmission array and activated it by channeling spiritual power.
Outside, an elder of the Mo Family responsible for guarding the secret grounds.
Suddenly opened his eyes, and the next moment, he appeared inside the passageway entrance.
There was a faint smell of blood lingering in the air.
The elder’s expression was grim, "Who is trying to enter the secret ground, and why didn’t they report to me?"
At this moment, he did not suspect an intruder.
If it had been any other location, he might have thought of external thieves, but the bloodline barrier was typically only penetrable by members of the Mo Family Clan. He took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, about to make contact.
Just then, another Mo Family elder hurried over, also looking troubled, "The Secret Ground Teleportation Array has been activated. Who entered today without notifying me?"
One was charged with the safety of the forbidden grounds.
The other was supposed to guard the entrance to the secret ground.
However, there had been a shortage of people in the family recently, particularly high-level medical cultivators, so he was called away to help treat Lord Bijie.
In this situation, it was inevitable that there would be some neglect of their actual duties.
The newly appointed Clan Leader was very incompetent and did not understand the rules at all, one elder complained.
"Indeed. We must investigate this matter thoroughly," agreed the other elder.
A clan member entering the secret ground on their own was no trivial matter.
The elder guarding the forbidden land went to contact the new Clan Leader.
The elder in charge of the secret ground teleportation array had already entered the passageway and was checking the array inside.
Their moment of hesitation had afforded Xie Jiuniang just enough time.
