“It seems Elder Qian didn’t intend for my nominal Master to pay back her debts; he was just reminding her not to borrow again.”
Li Mo looked at the furnishings on the peak, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
A simple wooden house, with a few broken walls and ruins.
That was it.
If he didn’t know this was within the Qingyuan Sect, he would have thought the place had just been attacked by a Disaster Beast.
“Master, Master?”
Li Mo called out twice, but no one answered, so he pushed open the wooden door.
The entire room reeked of alcohol.
On the bed, a woman was covered by a blanket, sprawled out, with a faint trace of drool at the corner of her mouth.
“Master?”
“Hmm...”
The woman grunted like a lazy pig, turned over, and continued to sleep.
Li Mo had no choice; he leaned close to her ear and whispered:
“Elder Qian is here to collect debts...”
The effect was outstanding.
Shang Wu sprang up, but when she saw Li Mo standing before her, her vigilant, drunken eyes turned to confusion:
“You are?”
“I am your Disciple,” Li Mo said helplessly.
“Disciple... oh, oh, I remember now.”
Shang Wu scratched her head, seemingly recalling, her apricot eyes still hazy: “What do you need me for?”
She was awake, but not fully.
Li Mo was silent for a moment, then said: “After I entered the Sect, shouldn’t you... teach me something?”
“That seems quite reasonable.”
Shang Wu’s shoulder was exposed, seemingly completely unaware of how ungraceful her current posture was.
She stood up, her palace dress draped, revealing half a shoulder; she was even taller than Li Mo.
“Yesterday, I was thinking of teaching you something.”
“Without alcohol, my memory just isn’t good.”
She frowned slightly, a hint of vexation on her face.
No sooner had she spoken than a ‘pop’ sound was heard, the sound of a wine stopper being opened.
Shang Wu’s nose twitched, and she immediately listed off: “Green Ant Brew? It’s a specialty of Shili Slope Winery, requiring five years of cellar aging. The wine must be amber in color to be considered excellent. Ten-year-old is even rarer. Where did you get it?”
She took the wine jar from her unfortunate Disciple’s hand and drank heartily, the liquor tracing an astonishing curve down her chest.
Your memory isn’t bad at all.
Li Mo couldn’t bear to watch.
Shang Wu wiped her mouth and said:
“I remember now, yesterday I made a bet with that old ghost Han He.”
“How dare he say I can’t teach Disciples? Could I tolerate that?”
Li Mo: “......”
What he said seemed to be correct.
No matter who he became a Disciple of, he probably wouldn’t receive an account book, right?
“He just took in a Murong Xiao and dared to flaunt himself at me, bah!”
“So, I made a bet with him.”
“If [N O V E L I G H T] a Disciple from Qunyu Peak ranks higher in the next Nine Peaks Martial Meet, he’ll help me settle the Inner Affairs Hall’s account.”
“And if you lose?”
“Lose? As my Disciple, can’t you have some confidence?”
Saying that, Shang Wu turned around, rummaged through a box, and pulled out a booklet.
She said with full confidence:
“This is my unique Mind-Cultivation Technique. I’ll help you achieve entry today.”
Li Mo took the booklet and saw the name of the Mind-Cultivation Technique:
“Fire Heart Lotus Creation Art.”
It sounded quite impressive.
Moreover, even the System evaluated Shang Wu’s strength as extremely powerful.
Hmm, with so many debts, they must have been accumulated through her own capabilities.
To owe the Inner Affairs Hall so much, and Elder Qian could only subtly remind her not to borrow again, already explained a lot!
Li Mo’s heart settled slightly as he opened the booklet.
After reading it, he asked:
“Master, there was something I didn’t understand just now...”
“Snore... snore...”
“Master?”
Li Mo looked up.
He found that his carefree beautiful Master had fallen asleep again at some point, and the wine jar had been completely emptied by her.
She was thoroughly drunk and couldn’t be woken up even by pushing.
Sister, can you be a bit more reliable!
“......”
Just as Li Mo’s forehead was covered in black lines.
【Investment successful, Investment: One jar of ten-year-old Green Ant Brew.】
【Reward settlement in progress...】
【Congratulations, Host, Reward: Ten Years of Martial Arts Comprehension!】
【Ten Years of Martial Arts Comprehension】: “Can be used on any Martial Art, allowing the Host to gain ten years of proficiency in it.”
Hmm?
Ten Years of Martial Arts Comprehension?
The Realm of a Martial Art is divided into six stages: Entry, Initial Proficiency, Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, Perfection, and Transcendent.
Even for ordinary, unranked Martial Arts in the Jianghu, very few people can Cultivate them to Perfection.
Let alone Transcendent.
For example, his father, Li Dalong, practiced his Wind Catching Palm for nearly twenty years and only barely reached Major Achievement.
Of course, this also related to one’s Comprehension Ability.
“Even if I’m not a Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability, I can at least be considered clever.”
Li Mo simply walked out of the house and sat down on the ground.
Thinking so.
He added all ten years of Martial Arts Comprehension to the “Fire Heart Lotus Creation Art.”
【Ten Years of Martial Arts Comprehension, injection successful.】
【In the first year, you thoroughly understood every word and phrase in the “Fire Heart Lotus Creation Art” and began experimenting. You successfully achieved Entry.】
【In the third year, you seemed to gain some insight, discovering the knack of this Cultivation Technique, and cultivated it to Initial Proficiency.】
【In the ninth year, your “Fire Heart Lotus Creation Art” became increasingly proficient, reaching the Minor Achievement Realm.】
【In the tenth year, you seemed to touch a Bottleneck, but ultimately, your accumulation was insufficient.】
Instantly.
Countless images surged in Li Mo’s mind. It was as if he had truly meticulously studied the “Fire Heart Lotus Creation Art” for ten years, having already practiced it to the Minor Achievement Realm.
“Whew...”
“Ten years, Minor Achievement.”
That sudden feeling of attaining Dao made Li Mo feel wonderfully as if he had ascended to the clouds.
He couldn’t wait and began his first round of Cultivation.
Within his Dantian, a wisp of warmth rose...
And the surrounding plants began to move without wind.
“For the first Cultivation, if I can complete the opening of Meridians, it will be considered a success.”
Li Mo calmed his mind.
Inside the room.
The drunken Shang Wu’s brows suddenly furrowed.
She mumbled:
“Unity of Heaven and Man?”
“Who has such good dog-shit luck...”
.........
At the same time, on the other side.
Qingyuan Main Peak, Cultivation Hall.
Several Elders stood nearby, each seeing the astonishment in the other’s eyes.
What astonished them so much was the young girl sitting not far away, with her five centers facing heaven.
At this moment.
These old men, whose combined ages totaled over five hundred years, were all doubting their lives.
Doubting whether their first half of life had been lived in vain.
“Achieved Entry in one day?”
Xue Jing murmured in disbelief.
“To be precise, it was fifteen minutes.”
Qian Bufan reminded him, filled with emotion, then turned to ask:
“Han He, you also practice this Frost Point Seeking Origin. How long did it take you back then?”
Han He’s mouth twitched, and after a long while, he replied:
“One month.”
At that time, Han He was still very young, also a young man who had just entered the Qingyuan Sect.
He still remembered that when he took one month to achieve Entry in the Cultivation Technique and successfully opened his Meridians, his Master joyfully called him a Genius.
Compared to the little girl in front of them...
As the Elders spoke, the hot air they exhaled instantly turned into ice crystals.
“Talents emerge from generation to generation. Our Qingyuan Sect is about to flourish.”
Xue Jing said with grave emotion.
His perception was extremely keen.
When Ying Bing was cultivating, it was as if there was an endless stream of Taiyin Power within her body, continuously flowing.
Even though she was the Master of this power, she would inevitably be injured by it.
Taking Yang-natured medicinal herbs or Medicinal Pills could offset a little.
It seemed that the bottle of Pure Yang Pill he sold to Li Mo a few days ago had helped this young girl open her Meridians.
Hiss—
A soft sound.
The cold wind seemed to form a vortex with Ying Bing at its center.
“She, she opened a Meridian!”
Han He’s eyes widened.
He clearly sensed that Ying Bing’s first main Meridian was already unobstructed.
“In that case, wouldn’t she be able to open all twelve Meridians in just a few days?”
This statement was only half correct.
Ying Bing could indeed open all twelve Meridians within a few days.
But, she intended to open more than just twelve?
The Elders of the Qingyuan Sect were, after all, limited by their vision.
The human body is like a hidden treasure; there are far more than just twelve Meridians that can serve as main Meridians.
Of course, ordinary Qi Blood Realm Martial Artists, even if they knew of their existence, would be unable to connect them. That would require extremely skilled and subtle control.
However, for her, this was not a problem.
What Ying Bing wanted to do was connect twenty-four Meridians, forming a major internal circulation within her body.
Then, when she entered the Inner Breath Realm, she would be more than ten times stronger!
“With such a Prodigy, we were truly redundant.”
Xue Jing showed a bitter smile.
The Sect Master was busy with affairs, so he specifically asked the three of them to guide Ying Bing, answer her questions, and also avoid errors that might arise from one person teaching due to habit.
Now, it wasn’t necessary. freewёbnoνel.com
Watching Ying Bing Cultivate, they felt as if they themselves were full of errors.
“I’ll leave this to you. I’m going to Qunyu Peak.”
“Why are you going there? It’s unlucky.”
At the mention of that name, Elder Han He snorted coldly.
“Are you really at ease letting Shang Wu teach a Disciple?” Xue Jing tugged at his patched robe.
Qian Bufan took a deep breath:
“Junior Brother Xue, hurry up. I’m afraid it might be too late if you delay.”
