The Rebirth of an Immortal Cultivator
Chapter 235: Shen Jia Mee's Request
Mo Lian waited outside the room, sitting on a long chair while stepping on Elder Yi's back who was on his stomach motionless. He also ignored the gazes of the eyes of everyone who was deliberately walking in front of him, looking at him and Elder Yi in turn.
He waited for Shen Jia Mee for quite a long time, until just as Mo Lian was standing about to leave the place, a sky-blue haired young lady came to him in a hurry.
"I'm sorry for my late arrival." The woman bent her body. He stood up and said, "I am Shen—"
Mo Lian raised her right hand cutting off Shen Jia Mee's words. "I already know, can you just get to the point?"
Shen Jia Mee was silent for a moment with a panicked face not knowing what to do. "W-How about you come with me upstairs?"
Mo Lian paused for a moment to look at Elder Yi who was lying on the floor, then looked up again looking at Shen Jia Mee. "Alright, lead the way."
The look on Shen Jia Mee's face turned bright when she heard Mo Lian's reply, then she bent her body back and walked over leading Mo Lian who was behind her.
Mo Lian raised her index finger, making Elder Yi soar a few meters from the floor surface and move following her from behind. He did not want to kill Elder Yi directly, as he was going to take him to the Qingzhaou Sect when the affairs in the 100-storey Tower were finished.
Everyone's attention turned back to Mo Lian as she brought Elder Yi along. Many were frightened because Elder Yi was one of the high ranking holders in the Qingzhaou Sect, and if this news were to spread, surely the Qingzhaou Sect would make a move.
Mo Lian raised the corner of her lips upon hearing the talk regarding the Qingzhaou Sect. He was even happy if they approached him alone rather than he who had to come.
Mo Lian stood next to Shen Jia Mee, standing in a blue circle drawn on the floor surface.
When he got there, Shen Jia Mee took out a card that was a different color, which had a bright red color. Shen Jia Mee poured her spiritual energy on the red card, making the card emit a golden red glow which then fell like a molecule hitting a blue circle.
The light molecules rose again and enveloped those within the blue-colored array circle, moving the three of them from the 70th floor to the 100th floor.
Mo Lian who was already on the top floor opened her eyes slowly, and what was here was not like the floor where she was staying or attending the auction. The floor here looks very spacious, because it is not divided into hundreds of rooms.
"Is this a private area?"
Shen Jia Mee gave a small nod as she walked out of the blue circle, then replied, "Yes, our Shen Family is a large family that exists in Fujian Kingdom, even the Tang Empire itself. The upper twenty floors of the Hundred Floors Tower were arenas that only family members could enter ..."
"Then for Shen's Residence, it was at the back of the Hundred-Floor Tower, with buildings like the residences of other families."
Mo Lian just kept quiet and nodded her head slightly, walking following Shen Jia Mee's footsteps that led her into the room with twin doors made of quality wood.
Shen Jia Mee opened the door by putting a red card on the right side of the door, then she went inside along with Mo Lian.
What Mo Lian saw upon entering was a leader's office that was usually in companies, and there were several screens floating in the air, as well as other screens attached to the wall.
"Please sit down." Shen Jia Mee offered Mo Lian to sit on the sofa opposite her, the two sofas that were in front of the work desk.
Mo Lian nodded and sat down on the opposite sofa. "So, what is the need to watch me from the beginning to get into the room."
Shen Jia Mee was stunned upon hearing that, not expecting that Mo Lian had already noticed it from the start of entering the 100-storey Tower. He looked down at his hands clenched above his thighs. "I ..." He tightened his lips and tears began to drip.
His breath sobbed as his cries broke, recalling his little sister who was captured by the Demon Cultivator, and all the bodyguards that went along were killed without a trace.
Mo Lian just silently waited for Shen Jia Mee to calm down again. He could delay planting Zhiliao Root, moreover he would have to take out the Profound Ark if he wanted to plant it.
"Can you help me find my sister who was kidnapped by a Demon Cultivator?"
Shen Jia Mee looked up at the standing Mo Lian. "The Shen family will give you roots similar to the ones you got before, despite having different shapes and auras." He had guessed it if Mo Lian would not accept it, which was why he had already contacted his Father and Mother.
Mo Lian frowned. He wondered if he should retract his words, and should work for someone else for the first time. He shook his head slowly, this was not work, but give and ask.
"Show me how it is."
Shen Jia Mee smiled happily, then raised her hand, made the floating screen descend onto the table, and revealed a light brown tree root, with a ginseng-like shape.
Mo Lian again sat observing the transparent screen in front of her. Like holograms.
"Rice Marrow?!"
Marrow Root is a root that can change the bone marrow to be stronger and denser, which affects the manufacture of bones that are harder than steel. Only, this item had to be processed by a certain method, and was extremely rare.
In fact, if the Marrow Root was in the Central Galaxy, this would be contested by great cultivators, including the Immortal Dao and Half Heavenly Immortal.
Mo Lian calmed herself down from her shock towards the Roots of Marrow, even if it was just a picture of her and had yet to truly see its authenticity.
He leaned against the back of the sofa, looking at the Marrow Root and Shen Jia Mee alternately. "I have to look at the goods directly, accept it or not, it depends on the goods. If it's just rubbish, then I won't take it. But ..."
"If it is the Root of Marrow as I thought, I will try to find your sister. But you have to be ready about how things are going ..."
Shen Jia Mee understood. He himself already knew it was impossible to survive after being captured by a Demon Cultivator, but his hunch said that if his younger brother was still alive to this day, it was just that he did not know where he was.
"Alright, I'll take you to see it at our Shen Residence." Shen Jia Mee stood up from the sofa, and invited Mo Lian to come out first.
Mo Lian nodded and stood up from the sofa, walking towards the exit while carrying Elder Yi who could neither move nor speak.
With the existence of the Zhiliao Tree and the Roots of the Marrow, then the preparations to break through the Divine Golden Soul were almost complete.
Mo Lian waited for Shen Jia Mee who was still inside the sealed room. Until a dozen minutes passed, Shen Jia Mee changed her clothes from Cheongsam to sky blue Hanfu, according to her hair color.
"Come, Mr. Mo. I'll take you to Shen's Residence." Shen Jia Mee walked towards the previous blue circle.
Mo Lian nodded, and walked following Shen Jia Mee who had already walked first. Before leaving for the Shen Residence, he suspected that there would be a little problem that might be caused by one family member, because surely there would always be people who envied and felt better.
Moreover, he was currently bringing Elder Yi who was severely injured with him, and surely there would be those who expelled him for not wanting to have any trouble with the Qingzhaou Sect. There might also be those who did not want a treasure like the Root of Marrow to be given as payment.
If what he was thinking about later actually happened, then he would take it forcibly and break some bones as learning.
Shen Jia Mee issued the same red card, then said softly, "Go to Shen's Residence."
Molecules of blue light started rising from the array circle under the feet of the two of them, and enveloped their bodies. When the light disappeared, the three people who were there disappeared, moving to another place.
