Free Web NovelThe Autumn Water Pavilion game session ended.
“Alright, I’ll give you that. You’re good.”
The young man’s face was covered with six or seven more paper strips.
Through the gaps in the strips, he saw the young girl’s slightly upturned lips.
At the same time, the System sent a series of prompts:
“Congratulations to the Host for successfully helping ‘Ying Bing’ win at Five-in-a-Row.”
“Investment Feedback: Azure Vein Jade Raft.”
“Congratulations to the Host for investing in ‘Ying Bing’s’ Exquisite Bud Tofu and Seven-Leaf Moistening Qi Grass Pickles.”
“Investment Feedback: Dust-Free Brush.”
....
Although they were items like brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, they were definitely not ordinary.
Their understated luxury and profound aura immediately marked them as treasures.
Who said I lost?
Isn’t this a complete victory?
As Li Mo secretly rejoiced, the Ice Cube’s soft reminder came from across him:
“Practice your sword.”
The time they spent practicing swords together had changed from once a day to once every three days.
Well, it was mainly because Xiao Jiang’s frequency of questions had decreased.
For some reason.
Today, the Ice Cube was exceptionally serious.
Xiao Li was in pain and happy at the same time.
Half an hour later.
Xiao Jiang’s textbook grew a little thicker.
Li Mo, without resting, picked up his sword again, deducing with Martial Arts Comprehension while practicing several sword techniques he had just obtained from the Scripture Pavilion.
“Why do you still practice these high-grade sword techniques?”
Ying Bing stood alone, holding her sword, her eyes, reflecting the moonlight, filled with confusion.
He had clearly achieved Minor Achievement in a unique sword art.
High-grade martial arts and unique arts were too far apart; it wasn't even a case of using another’s stone to polish one’s own jade.
Why bother?
“.....”
Li Mo was truly silenced by the question.
He couldn’t possibly say that he was using them to feed Jiang Chulong, acting as a middleman to earn the difference, could he?
If he hadn’t earned quite a bit during this period, he wouldn’t even have been able to activate the Karma Fire Red Lotus Mystical Method.
Just as Xiao Li was pondering how to explain.
Ying Bing opposite suddenly spoke again:
“Are you truly planning to... walk the path of ‘skill approaching the Dao’?”
Li Mo: “.....Ah, yes, yes, yes.”
No need to explain.
The Ice Cube would figure it out herself.
“This is very difficult.”
“Even with your talent.”
Ying Bing spoke softly.
Not just sword techniques, but any Dao, has the saying of ‘skill approaching the Dao.’
But the prodigious Geniuses and Prodigies who had tried throughout history were as numerous as carp crossing a river, yet.....
No one succeeded.
This seemed like a chasm, a mockery, displayed by the heavens before Mortals, dividing humans from immortals.
Even Jiang Chulong, who was later recognized as having unparalleled sword Dao throughout history, was still far from exhausting the principles of the sword Dao.
“I know.”
Li Mo nodded without hesitation.
Although he didn’t know what the Ice Cube was imagining again.
But he knew what he was doing.
Ah? Me? Skill approaching the Dao!
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Skill approaching the Dao is more like skill approaching a hammer.
Xiao Li clearly knew that this was just to get rewards!
He smiled, turned, and began practicing his sword again.
“Knowing it’s impossible but still doing it?”
Ying Bing murmured softly.
Whoosh—
The night wind blew, and the moonlight was like frost.
The young man sometimes swung his sword, sometimes pondered, each time becoming stronger than the last.
For a moment, time seemed to lose its meaning on him.
Martial Arts was a long river, and those sword Dao Geniuses who left their names in history were the stars in the clear river.
Perhaps.
No matter whether he could reach the end of this path or not.
He would shine brightly in the long river of Martial Arts, wouldn’t he?
The leaves rustled with a ‘shasha’ sound.
“In the Blood Phoenix Secret Realm, be careful of Han Zhen.”
She said no more, quietly turning and going upstairs.
Watching the Ice Cube’s departing back, Li Mo recalled seeing that name somewhere.
The author of the records of gods and forms?
No, that book was from many years ago; if you counted the author’s age, he should be thousands of years old by now.
A Genius with the same name?
.....
Inside the World Seed.
While Xiao Jiang hadn't arrived yet, Li Mo began to examine this Small World that belonged solely to him.
“It’s much bigger than before.”
As far as the eye could see, the current Small World was already hundreds of times larger than its original size.
Just like his Realm.
The buildings, however, were still the original ones, making it suddenly seem very empty.
Snap—
Li Mo snapped his fingers.
The scene in the Small World changed, everything transformed, and it immediately became the sea-view villa that his dog boss had bought after his hard work in his previous life.
Within a few square miles, this villa even had a garden, and it took ten minutes just to go to the restroom.
“To see the sea, naturally there must be... a sun?”
Li Mo looked at the sea, lying on a rocking chair.
As the thought settled.
A phantom sun appeared in the sky.
Of course, it was only a phantom, merely a facade, very different from a real great sun.
“If I condense a Mystic Core, I can probably truly create a sun in the Small World?”
“Still feels like something is missing.....”
Li Mo looked at the sea.
Sunshine, beach... cough.
When could he bring the Ice Cube and the beautiful Master in, dressed in swimsuits, then it would be perfect....
Thinking of this, Xiao Li touched the Panjie Meteor Hammer, and the hammer vibrated lightly twice. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Suddenly.
Li Mo seemed to sense something, and the faceless glazed gauze instantly appeared around him.
“Master... Master?”
“Where is this?”
Xiao Jiang looked around in confusion and curiosity.
“Hmm, it’s just a place where Master usually relaxes. After you finish your training, you can also come here to play.”
The Heavenly Venerable casually said.
“Then... then...”
Jiang Chulong lowered her head, her small hands fidgeting again.
After muttering for a long time, she finally mustered the courage to say:
“Disciple... can I bring... bring Li Dage with me?”
“Hmm?”
The Heavenly Venerable was confused by this question.
Jiang Chulong’s heart tightened, and her delicate body trembled slightly.
She thought the Heavenly Venerable Master was angry.
That’s right, this was Master’s secret place, how could she casually bring other people in.....
“Master... I...”
“.....You may.”
The Heavenly Venerable nodded lightly.
“Really... really?”
Jiang Chulong didn’t even dare to raise her small head to look at him.
“Train well. If you break through the Realm, I will agree to your request.”
The Heavenly Venerable said, gently waving his sleeve.
Immediately, the sun, beach, and villa all disappeared.
What reappeared, however, was not the old small Daoist temple.
“Master... this... this is?”
Having changed places, Jiang Chulong tightly hugged the tree branch, carefully looking around.
Underfoot were white clouds, and not far away, a purple-gold Bagua Pill Furnace was overturned.
The building behind it was more like a palace than a Daoist temple.
The shining plaque indeed read:
‘Tushita Palace.’
“A lost corner of the Heavenly Court.”
The Heavenly Venerable slowly spoke, with endless vicissitudes.
As if returning to an old place, filled with unspeakable sighs.
“Here... how could it be like this?”
Jiang Chulong didn’t dare to wander around, but she was very curious.
“If you want to hear a story, Master must first test your progress.”
The Heavenly Venerable chuckled softly.
He casually threw a small blade of grass, which transformed into a grass Puppet.
It could be controlled by Li Mo, and was controlled to perform his sword techniques.
Hmm....
The Heavenly Venerable’s status was so high, of course he couldn’t personally enter the fray!
Speaking of which, Li Mo also had a sudden inspiration.
He was Just right planning to redecorate the World Seed and give Xiao Jiang a new training environment, so he simply said it was the Heavenly Court.
A quarter of an hour later.
The tree branch pierced the grass Puppet’s throat.
Jiang Chulong, however, stood rooted to the spot, seemingly enlightened.
“Congratulations to the Host for successfully investing in ‘Jiang Chulong’ with a high-grade sword technique and for resolving her confusion.”
“Two investment feedbacks: a total of one hundred and fifty years of Martial Arts Comprehension.”
....
Thus, ten days later.
Xiao Li had another incredibly fulfilling ten days.
Using the price difference, he earned five hundred years of Martial Arts Comprehension.
His daily training session also changed from the small waterfall to Dan Ding Peak.
The lotus in his Dantian already had nine leaves fully bloomed.
He was one step away from entering the Mystic Core.
The day to go home had finally arrived.
The Blood Phoenix Secret Realm was in Qinghe Commandery.
Xiao Li’s hometown.
