Fang Yuan's will stood beside her, quietly watching, not disturbing her.
This world, dark and decaying, was Fang Yuan's dead immortal blessed land. Since Fang Yuan had tricked Mo Yao's will into entering his immortal aperture, he had suppressed it.
Mo Yao was a grandmaster of the Refinement Path, a legendary Gu Immortal in the past. She left a deep mark in the history of Central Continent.
Her will was naturally of great value.
Although Fang Yuan was framed by Mo Yao's will and almost died during the Northern Plains expedition, Fang Yuan did not hate Mo Yao's will. Instead, he admired and even praised her.
If he had been the one to scheme, he might not have done better than Mo Yao's will.
He had originally prepared to interrogate Mo Yao, but Mo Yao's will was very cooperative. Regarding Fang Yuan's questions on the Refinement Path, not only did she speak without reservation, but she also extended analogies, which greatly benefited Fang Yuan.
But when Fang Yuan asked Mo Yao's will for information about Lingyuan Zhai, she made a request: "I have left Central Continent for too many years. Over these years, I have missed the people and things there more and more. Please bring me a mirror willow, so that I can slightly relieve the homesickness that is pent up in my heart."
The mirror willow is just an ordinary plant, about the size of a common willow, but its leaves are like small mirrors. The leaves of this willow are exactly the food of the Beggar Moth.
During the previous stone man trade, Fang Yuan acquired a batch of mirror willows from the Immortal Crane Sect, and now they were planted in the Fox Immortal Blessed Land.
So he casually picked one and placed it into his own immortal aperture.
"In those days, my true self and Brother Bo Qing met for the first time under this mirror willow. The mortal world rolls on, but romance becomes empty..." Mo Yao's will sighed.
Then, she turned around and looked at Fang Yuan's will: "Thank you for satisfying this small request of mine. Since you want to know about Lingyuan Zhai, I will tell you. But the information I know is already outdated; you must note this."
Fang Yuan's will nodded.
Standing under the mirror willow, Mo Yao's will began to speak, revealing a lot of inside information about Lingyuan Zhai.
Fang Yuan listened and compared it with his five hundred years of experience in his previous life, greatly deepening his understanding of Lingyuan Zhai.
"Your immortal aperture is dead. If the mirror willow is planted here, within three days it will be corroded by death qi and turn into withered rotten wood. What a pity..." After saying this, Mo Yao sighed again.
It was just unknown whether the "pity" in her words referred to the mirror willow or Fang Yuan's immortal aperture.
"Next time, could you bring me a cup of Qingpu tea? This is a special tea from Lingyuan Zhai. It is not rare. Although I cannot taste tea flavor, I want to take one more look at it." Mo Yao said.
Fang Yuan's will snorted coldly: "It seems you have no awareness of being a prisoner? You go asking for this and that; you wouldn't be plotting something, would you?"
Mo Yao's will smiled charmingly: "Fang Yuan, you are too cautious. Since my scheme was exposed and I was tricked into being suppressed in your immortal aperture, I am like a fish on a chopping board, monitored by you every moment, at your mercy. Even if I had a plan, what way would I have to implement it?"
"But let's speak openly. Although I have completely failed and cannot turn things around, if you use force, what you get will be very incomplete, because soul searching is easy but will searching is difficult. If you were a wisdom path grandmaster, it would be fine, but unfortunately you have no foundation in wisdom path; you only randomly bought Gu worms from the market. The wisdom path is different from other paths — it is mysterious and profound; you haven't even entered the gate yet."
Mo Yao's will criticized Fang Yuan without the slightest restraint. She knew all along that Fang Yuan was broad-minded, a rare formidable demon.
Sure enough, the next moment, Fang Yuan's will laughed heartily: "You are right. My wisdom path attainments are shallow, but thanks to your active cooperation, from now on you will live in my immortal aperture. I will bring you Qingpu tea."
After saying this, the will soared into the sky.
The immortal aperture just happened to open a crack, allowing this will to fly up all the way until it reached Fang Yuan's mind.
In an instant, Fang Yuan perceived all the information that this will had harvested in the immortal aperture.
He indeed lacked the means to properly search through a will.
Soul searching is easy, will searching is difficult, which is normal.
If it were not so, wisdom path Gu Masters often used wills to fight; once these wills were captured, it would be giving the enemy a handle, exposing their secrets to the enemy.
It is precisely because will searching is difficult that it is used by wisdom path Gu Masters to fight.
As for Mo Yao...
"She is indeed a remarkable figure, no wonder she has left her name in history." Fang Yuan secretly praised.
Mo Yao's will's scheme was exposed, and she had completely failed. Even self-destruction was impossible; she was imprisoned by Fang Yuan in his immortal aperture, firmly suppressed.
But even in such a hopeless situation, she still did not give up.
She actively cooperated with Fang Yuan, answering his questions, which was to show her value and delay time as much as possible.
In case one day Fang Yuan encountered an accident, the immortal aperture cracked, or he was captured, or he died in battle, Mo Yao's will would have a hope of escape.
Mo Yao's will was not at all discouraged; her attitude of persisting made Fang Yuan silently admire.
