"Your Excellency's martial arts seem to originate from Tianshan Sword Manor?"
Qian Bufan, being well-informed, asked.
He picked up a slice of beef.
Speaking of which, where did Li Zhenchuan get this hotpot recipe? It's quite fragrant.
"Yes."
Mei Yun did not deny it.
Although she didn't explicitly state it, she had already let everyone know her identity.
Mei Jian, among the Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum, was once ranked 41st on the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Wind and Cloud Rankings, and later voluntarily left Tianshan Sword Manor.
"I am Qian Bufan, the Elder of Foreign Affairs of Qingyuan Sect."
Qian Bufan introduced everyone in turn, including Shang Wu.
Upon hearing Shang Wu's name, Mei Yun looked at the palace-dressed woman who was blanching mutton, her eyes subtly shifting.
After a moment of silence, she spoke:
"All of you are influential figures in the Eastern Wasteland Region."
"What I know and what I can say, I should let you know."
Qian Bufan picked up another piece of tofu skin, observed the expressions of the others, and then nodded, saying:
"We are all ears."
"I don't know why Rain Listening Pavilion established a branch here, but it should not be related to the Demon Summoning Sect."
"That Prefect named Cui was privately collaborating with the Demon Summoning Sect."
Demon Summoning Sect.
Upon hearing these three words, everyone became serious.
"What does the Demon Summoning Sect want to do?" the scholarly-robed middle-aged man from Burning Jade Forest asked.
"They discovered a Blood Phoenix Secret Realm."
As her words fell, it was like a giant stone being thrown into calm water.
Qian Bufan gasped, simultaneously inhaling a piece of rice tofu.
Blood Phoenix Secret Realm.
Legend has it that the Blood Phoenix was formed from one of the Nine-Colored Yuanhuang's Souls, undying and indestructible, capable of Nirvana in a miraculous way each time it died.
Each time it died and underwent Nirvana, its old body would fall, forming a Blood Phoenix Secret Realm at the place of its descent.
Therefore, there is more than one of these Secret Realms.
There might be some exaggeration in this, as the Blood Phoenix itself has been missing for who knows how many years.
But countless powerhouses still flocked to it.
Undying and indestructible.
What a captivating phrase.
Could the impoverished Eastern Wasteland Region also have a place where a Blood Phoenix died?
"The location is Qinghe County, that's all I know."
"Unfortunately, the Wu Jian Trial ended early, and I don't know anything more."
Mei Yun shook her head slightly.
Qinghe County?
The scholarly-robed middle-aged man from Burning Jade Forest's eyes suddenly lit up.
Qinghe County is very close to their Burning Jade Forest.
However...
Well, being close is useless; judging by everyone's expressions, no one seemed to care about a short distance.
"It's a pity that the Demon Summoning Cultists and the people from Rain Listening Pavilion are all dead..."
"That's not necessarily true."
Mei Yun shook her head.
"The top three in the Wu Jian Trial are still alive."
"Which three? I'll go capture them!"
"Let me go, I, from Burning Jade Forest, am very good at convincing people with reason; I will make sure they tell us everything."
"Li Mo, Ying Bing, Xiao Qin."
......
All the Inner Scenery looked at Elder Qian with suspicious eyes.
No.
Your Qingyuan Sect, aren't you perhaps in some strategic cooperation with Rain Listening Pavilion?
Otherwise, how could the top three all be your Disciples?!
"What exactly did they do?"
Elder Qian's face was full of strangeness. He told them to come to Fu City to maintain public order and strictly prevent Rain Listening Pavilion from causing trouble.
He didn't tell them to join directly!
He also didn't know exactly what happened in Fu City, so he could only turn to Shang Wu:
"Aren't they running a hotpot restaurant?"
"Yes, look how good business is downstairs. They're just using this method to gather intelligence."
Shang Wu said nonchalantly.
All the Inner Scenery: "....."
They seemed to know why the Wu Jian Trial ended early.
"Speaking of which, if they hadn't informed Elder Shang Wu in time, by the time we arrived, it would probably have been too late."
Qian Bufan seriously ate a piece of duck intestine, stating that Qingyuan Sect's stance was absolutely correct.
"My Qingyuan Sect will also reward these few individuals for their merits."
He considered things quite thoroughly.
If Rain Listening Pavilion still had designs on Ziyang Prefecture in the future, with Li Mo and the others there, they could grasp their movements at the first opportunity.
"Ying Bing beheaded a Guan Shen Realm assassin; that is indeed no easy feat."
The scholarly-robed middle-aged man from Burning Jade Forest said.
Inner Breath beheading Guan Shen?
The gap between Inner Breath and Guan Shen is much larger than the gap between Qi Blood ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) Realm and Inner Breath.
Many individuals who were exceptionally talented in the Qi Blood Realm found it difficult to even maintain a draw against an opponent one realm higher once they reached the Inner Breath Realm.
Everyone discussed some more details, agreed to stay in contact, and then all picked up their chopsticks.
"We've been talking for so long, I'm hungry."
"Let's eat."
"After eating, we still have to report back to the Sect... Hmm?"
"Where's the food?"
.......
"Golden Crow Transformed into Sun Contemplation Diagram."
"Was the sun of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths once transformed from a Golden Crow?"
Li Mo pondered, looking up at the sky.
Even though he was still in the Inner Breath Realm, he still found the three suns dazzling and difficult to look at directly.
For ordinary people, they were merely too bright.
But Li Mo, having followed Shang Wu, had already begun to grasp 'intent,' and immediately felt a dry, burning sensation deep within his Soul.
He couldn't look too long.
Li Mo quickly averted his gaze.
He didn't know which of the Contemplation Diagrams were more valuable.
But undoubtedly, the Golden Crow Transformed into Sun Contemplation Diagram he possessed was definitely among the best.
After all, it came from Xiao Jiang, the princess.
It was much stronger than that Night Ghost Contemplation Diagram.
But he couldn't use it yet.
"I have to wait until the Guan Shen Realm."
Li Mo felt that wouldn't take long.
From the System space, he took out a stone pot containing a pool of sky-blue liquid.
Greenwood Life Liquid.
The vitality contained within it would save him a lot of hard work in the process of Qi Condensation into liquid.
.......
Time flew by like a white steed.
During these ten days.
In the daytime, Li Mo taught Jiang Chulong and Mei Yun how to run a hotpot restaurant.
He surprisingly discovered that among the several land deeds he had obtained in Qingyuan previously, this very restaurant was included.
In other words, Xiao Li had been the owner of this shop a long time ago.
Oh, fate, I tell you...
So, since the shop was just sitting there, Li Mo simply gave the hotpot recipe to Jiang Chulong and let Mei Yun bring the little ones to settle down here.
In the afternoon, he practiced cultivation, and in the evening, Dual Cultivation.
With Ice Cube's help, his progress in the Inner Breath Realm was pleasing.
Finally, on the evening of the tenth day, he successfully refined thirty-six lotus seeds until only one remained, which then took root and sprouted.
Xiao Li became an Inner Breath Martial Artist.
Dual Cultivation also temporarily ended.
During the process of Qi Condensation into a Core, the interference of anomalous Inner Breath could lead to an impure Mystic Core.
......
As time entered June, summer arrived silently.
This morning.
When Ying Bing opened her eyes, she subconsciously tried to remove the arm draped over her neck, but found nothing there.
Only then did she realize.
Since yesterday, the two of them hadn't slept together.
It had been a month.
【Congratulations, Host, you have successfully completed the first loser's punishment.】
【Third-tier reward issued: true phoenix feather.】
【Currently evaluating Host's completion progress...】
【Completion: 100%.】
【Rating: D. Only D-grade additional rewards can be obtained.】
Ying Bing already knew that completing the loser's punishment would grant additional rewards.
But what did D-grade mean?
She knew what a true phoenix feather was; she had obtained one in her previous life as well.
So Ying Bing was rather curious about the additional reward.
"I clearly completed the punishment as required by the System, yet the rating is so low."
"D-grade, better than nothing, but I wonder if I can even use it..."
Ying Bing checked the reward panel.
【D-grade reward randomly drawing.】
【Congratulations, Host, you have obtained one piece of sensual lingerie.】
Ying Bing: "?"
Sensual lingerie, what is that?
Such an unfamiliar term.
