Chapter 215 Underground Palace Treasure
Cao Yi and the other two understood Yun Xi's intention; it was time to reveal their identities as disciples of the Haoran Sect.

The four of them entered the city lord's mansion openly, dressed in their sect robes. Even if something really happened to them, the Haoran Sect would know who to seek justice from, so the three of them tacitly changed into elder robes as well.

As Yunxi's personal disciple, she held the most prestigious position, so the formation was led by her, with the other three guarding her.

Cao Yi waved his sleeve to put away the array plate, and the four of them left the courtyard.

When the Golden Core cultivator saw the robes on the four people, he was clearly stunned. He thought that changing robes was just an excuse for them, and that they were discussing how to decline the city lord's invitation. He didn't expect that they had really changed into robes.

"Four distinguished guests, please follow me."

The male cultivator raised his hand in greeting.

Yun Xi smiled slightly, took the first step to follow, followed by Cao Yi and the other two.

After a stick of incense had burned, the four of them sat in the reception room of the city lord's mansion. Each of them had a cup of spiritual tea beside them, but none of them moved, quietly waiting for the arrival of the main character.

A moment later, a robust and beautiful woman appeared in the main seat and said with a smile:

"I kept you waiting."

The four immediately stood up and bowed with their hands clasped in greeting.

"This junior pays his respects to the city lord."

Mo Yuwan's eyes flickered, and she immediately understood Yun Xi and the others' little scheme. She waved her sleeve, gesturing for the four to sit down, and then said with a smile:
"I have a past connection with the Fire-Controlling True Monarch of the Haoran Sect. I wonder how he is doing these days?"

Yunxi stepped forward and respectfully replied:

"Thank you for your concern, City Lord. Uncle Yu Huo is doing well, but he is busy refining pills and has no time to leave the sect to visit friends."

Mo Yuwan asked casually:

"You address Yu Huo as 'Uncle-Master,' but who is your master?"

"Junior Wei Yunxi hereby becomes a disciple of Ling Xuefeng, the True Lord of Yuling."

"I remember he was in seclusion trying to break through to the Nascent Soul stage; distant water can't quench a nearby fire."

Mo Yuwan's words had a deeper meaning.

The four men felt a jolt, realizing that this True Lord intended to use diplomacy before resorting to force, and they all secretly made preparations.

Yunxi's expression was perfectly controlled; she looked up and smiled slightly.

"Even if you don't care about the monk, you should care about the Buddha. Although Master is in seclusion, he will eventually emerge. At that time, Master will be a Nascent Soul Venerable, and will naturally know where to find his disciple."

Mo Yuwan chuckled and said:

"Are you so sure your master will definitely reach the Nascent Soul stage?"

Yunxi replied with a firm gaze:
"Of course, Master never fights a battle unprepared."

"Alright, you've convinced me. Let's talk about the treasure hidden in Jade Star City."

The city lord's words were so direct that Yunxi took a moment to process them before finally speaking:

"Lord of the city, we have the other half of the treasure map. If it weren't for the disciples of the Haoran Sect coming to Jade Star City on a mission, the two treasure maps would not have had the chance to be combined. So the Haoran Sect deserves half the credit for the treasure's appearance."

"Yes, I understand. Please continue."

"Since we deserve half the credit, shouldn't the disciples of the Haoran Sect be qualified to enter and retrieve the treasure?"

"This little girl has quite an appetite. Do you know what that treasure is?" "It should be related to medical cultivation, but I don't know anything else."

Mo Yuwan, who had been leaning lazily against the back of her chair, straightened up after hearing Yun Xi's words, her eyes sparkling with admiration as she said:

"You've got the key."

Yunxi cursed herself for being too quick-tongued and revealing her hand, and prepared to pretend to be silent to get away with it.

Mo Yuwan laughed even louder:

"Haha! This is truly heaven's help! My path to becoming a god is now within reach."

After she finished speaking, the way she looked at Yunxi and the other three changed, and she resumed her previous lazy sitting posture.

"You don't need to worry about me trying to steal the key. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to. Once you transform the treasure map into the key, only you can control it. If I kill you and take the key, the underground palace will self-destruct, leaving no treasure behind. So the best solution is to cooperate."

Yunxi immediately picked up on several keywords: "unable to steal," "control key," "underground palace," and "self-destruction." After stringing these together, she felt an overwhelming urge to give the middle finger.

This was an opportunity tailor-made for Wei Yunqing. If she hadn't taken the lead, the opportunity in Jade Star City would have belonged to Yunqing sooner or later. Perhaps the animal skin scroll would have fallen into her hands right after she formed her core.

Yunxi took a deep breath, her resolve to seize this opportunity growing stronger. The little one in her arms also transmitted a message:

"Master, we can't back down, we have to grab it! Dot will definitely be able to help!"

"I understand. I'll find out the origin of this opportunity first. Listen carefully."

After Yunxi relayed the message to Dian Dian, she respectfully cupped her hands and said:
"True Lord, could you please tell me the origin of this treasure?"

Mo Yuwan said with a smile:

"I will tell you the origin of the treasure, and you will show me the key."

Yunxi bit her lip, deciding to take the gamble anyway, since she didn't sense any malice from Zhenjun, and replied seriously with a "okay".

Mo Yuwan then said:
"The original site of Jade Star City was a declining cultivation sect called the Immortal Physician Sect. The cultivators in this sect all entered the Dao through medicine. It is said that the Medicine King Valley in the Central Region was founded by the descendants of the Immortal Physician Sect."

It's unclear what blow this sect suffered, but overnight all its disciples disappeared, and the entire sect sank into the ground and vanished without a trace.

The disciples of the Moyu family serve as the exclusive guards of the Medical Immortal Sect cultivators, providing necessary protection when they travel to practice medicine. The Moyu family are mostly body cultivators, and they have made great achievements in body tempering. The body tempering potion that we use to advance our ranks is specially made by the disciples of the Medical Immortal Sect.

However, after the Immortal Healer Sect sank underground, the Mo Yu family also declined. I am currently the highest-ranking body cultivator in the Mo Yu family. Our cultivation system differs from ordinary body cultivators, so we have no other body-refining techniques to learn from. We can only use the remaining medicines to temper our bodies and advance in rank. Many clansmen have also switched to other cultivation paths.

Mo Yuwan sighed as she finished speaking. She didn't want the family lineage to end with her, which was why she had been staying in Jade Star City, waiting for the right person to arrive.

"However, before the incident at the Immortal Healer Sect, the sect leader left the jade slip to the then head of the Mo Yu family and told him that when the destined person returns to the Immortal Healer Sect with the other half of the token, it will be the time for the Immortal Healer Sect to reappear in the world."

"Once the Immortal Healer Sect has a successor, all its treasures and artifacts will be available to those destined to inherit them. The Mo Yu family only needs to protect the successor; the body-tempering potions we need for advancement will be refined by their successor."

After Mo Yu Zhenjun finished speaking, the reception room fell silent as all four of them fell into deep thought.

If what Zhenjun said is true, one can imagine how many high-level cultivators would covet a sect's treasure. Yunxi suddenly felt that the four of them alone might not be able to handle it.

Mo Yuwan broke the silence:
"I've told you everything I need to say. Now I want to see the key."

Yun Xi paused for a moment, then took out the key from her spatial storage and used her spiritual power to push it in front of Mo Yu Zhenjun.

Mo Yuwan grabbed the purple jade pendant in front of her. Her feelings at this moment could no longer be described as just happy; she was simply overjoyed.

"Hahaha! It's actually the Purple Extreme! It's the Purple Extreme Jade Key!"
