Before Shenfeng Cave.
Looking ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) from the cave entrance, one could see various weapons laid out within, some gleaming with cold light, others covered in rust.
The mere presence of them made one feel as if blades were pressed against their body, causing their entire being to tense up.
Many Martial Artists entered and exited, all of them powerful individuals.
Some were blacksmiths, while others were Inner Sect Disciples from other peaks.
"What is your intention for entering Shenfeng Cave, and how long do you intend to stay?"
An Inner Sect Executive sat there, recording the comings and goings.
However, when he looked up, he was slightly startled.
The young man before him was too young.
Li Mo said, "Body Tempering and cultivation. Two hours at most."
The Executive was stunned for a moment, then impatiently waved his hand and said,
"You've only just entered the Qi Blood Realm. What are you doing here? Go, go, go."
With his Guan Shen Realm eyesight, he could tell at a glance that Li Mo had only recently entered the Qi Blood Realm.
"Elder Han He has already given his permission."
Li Mo didn't mind the other party's attitude.
Even if he was a bit fierce, he didn't seem to have any ill intentions.
"Elder Han He..."
The Executive became uncertain.
"Which peak are you a Disciple of?" he asked.
Li Mo: "Qunyu Peak."
"Where did Qunyu Peak get a Disciple..."
Mid-sentence, the Inner Sect Executive suddenly remembered that Elder Shang Wu had indeed taken a True Disciple this year.
Moreover, he was one with exceptional talent.
Hmm, it seemed he had ascended the Ascension Stone Steps along with Sect Leader's True Disciple named Ying Bing.
What was his name again...
For a moment, he really couldn't recall.
"Give me your waist token to record."
Li Mo took off his waist token.
After the other party recorded it, he nodded and introduced with a softened attitude:
"If you wish to cultivate, remember to act within your capabilities."
"The first floor holds Sharp Weapons, many of which have never seen blood."
"As for the second floor, those are truly Sharp Weapons. Haha, the blade of a river bandit I once killed is on the second floor."
Since the other party was a True Disciple, he might have some reliance.
For example, the new True Disciple Elder Han He took, whose body was incredibly strong, was already able to go down to the second floor.
He was also happy to explain a few things.
"What about the third floor?"
Li Mo asked curiously.
"Young man, don't be so ambitious. The third floor stores famous weapons. Famous weapons have spirits. Without reaching the Guan Shen Realm, you dare not go there."
The Executive shook his head, emphasizing repeatedly.
"I understand."
Li Mo retrieved his waist token, cupped his hands, and walked into the cave.
Instantly, the feeling of being watched from behind intensified.
There were many people on this floor, and some recognized him.
"Li Mo?"
"Hmph, it really is True Disciple Li."
"What is he doing here? Cultivating?"
"Hiss... He's got delicate skin and tender flesh, doesn't look like he has a foundation in horizontal Body Tempering. He hasn't reached the Inner Breath Realm yet, so he doesn't need to use the Qi of metal to refine his Inner Breath, right?"
Everyone was puzzled.
But Li Mo clearly had no intention of explaining to others, walking forward fifty steps as if no one else was around.
"Phew... I can't walk anymore." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Li Mo let out a long breath.
By the time he reached here, his skin had already started to tingle.
By himself, fifty steps on the first floor was already his limit.
If he tried to go further, his body would suffer irreversible damage.
"Martial Arts Comprehension, ten years left."
"Let's first get Eight Soldier Slaughtering Body to introductory level."
Li Mo braced himself, a thought stirring in his mind.
【Ten years of Martial Arts Comprehension successfully injected.】
【Year one, you thoroughly studied Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body, learning how to control the sharp Qi of soldier-killing to temper your body.】
【Year three, after in-depth practice, you discovered that if controlled properly, you can even temper your five internal organs and six viscera together.】
【Year five, your Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body has reached initial proficiency.】
【Year ten, your control is meticulous, allowing you to subtly resonate with various weapons and even refine your Meridians.】
【Comprehension complete.】
【You have comprehended Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body to Major Achievement!】
Instant Epiphany.
Li Mo immediately felt a new world open up to him.
If the pervasive sharp Qi of soldier-killing was likened to water, then before, he was a landlubber.
If the water got deep, even if it was calm, he would drown.
Mastering Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body to Major Achievement had turned him into a wave rider; unless it was a raging storm, nothing could harm him.
"Body Tempering!"
Li Mo sat cross-legged.
The sharp Qi of soldier-killing surrounding him was also drawn into his body.
The sharp Qi was very dangerous, but under his exquisite guidance, it didn't cause him the slightest harm. Instead, it was carving and tempering his body.
Jade uncarved is not a vessel!
"Is he cultivating?"
"How long do you think he can last?"
"I bet not even an incense stick's time."
"An incense stick's time? Being able to last a hundred breaths would be good enough."
"Aren't you all cultivating? Why are you bothering with others?"
"I'm a blacksmith, thank you."
Seeing Li Mo like an old monk in meditation, some people started discussing.
Some even made bets on how long True Disciple Li could last here.
However, the bets hadn't even been fully set up.
Li Mo, not far away, suddenly stood up.
"Holy moly, it hasn't even been thirty breaths! He's no good!"
"No more bets! Haha, thanks, True Disciple Li, for helping me earn money!"
"Wait a minute, he's not walking back!"
Only when this person shouted did everyone come back to their senses.
Yes, True Disciple Li did not turn back, but continued to walk deeper.
It looked like he was about to go down to the second floor.
What the Hell?
Is he crazy?
"No, he seems fine?"
"Hiss... This is insane."
"Holy cow, he really went down to the second floor!"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
They watched as the young man walked briskly through the doorway at the end of the first floor.
His figure quickly disappeared at the end of the stairs.
No.
When they started the betting, they never expected something like this to happen.
How do you even calculate this?
One must know that many Inner Breath Realm cultivators only stayed on the first floor.
How was Li Mo walking as if he were strolling in his own backyard?
.....
"This sharp Qi of soldier-killing shouldn't be entirely emitted by the weapons stored in Shenfeng Cave."
"Could it be that there's something else at the very bottom level of Shenfeng Cave?"
Li Mo discovered some clues.
Others might not be able to perceive it, but perhaps due to his Xuanpin Immortal Body, he was extremely sensitive to this type of Qi. If he were to become a blacksmith, he would definitely be in his element.
Thinking of this, he became even more eager to explore deeper.
He had just descended to the second floor.
There were far fewer weapons in sight, but all eighteen types of weapons were still present.
Many of them even had chips, clearly having experienced battles.
He immediately felt his mind sink slightly, his consciousness becoming muddled.
It was as if a chilling sensation had invaded his heart.
"Killing intent..."
Li Mo took out a Qing Xin Pill, poured out one, and placed it under his tongue. Only then did the feeling dissipate.
He felt it out slightly.
"I can go further."
Li Mo continued forward.
After walking another hundred steps, he suddenly saw a figure.
It was also a young man, wearing white cloud-patterned True Disciple robes and a purple-gold crown. The skin on his neck vaguely showed scale-like patterns.
His delicate face was furrowed, his expression struggling.
Murong Xiao?
This name surfaced in Li Mo's mind.
So he looked with his Tianming Divine Eye.
【Name: Murong Xiao.】
【Age: 16.】
【Bone Root: Ming Jiaolong Body.】
【Realm: Qi Blood Realm, Five Meridians.】
【Destiny: Blue with Black.】
【Evaluation: His father is human, his mother is a transformed Ming Jiaolong. He is kind-hearted but heavily influenced by his Bloodline. If he can combine the advantages of both, his future is limitless. If he combines the disadvantages, he will bring disaster to one side.】
【Recent Encounter: Affected by the Qi of soldier-killing, his demonic nature is resurfacing. If he is not extracted in time, his temperament may drastically change!】
Killing intent entering the body?
Last time he saw Murong Xiao's Destiny, it was blue with purple.
Now it was blue with black!
It was clear that this Half-demons True Disciple had reached a critical point of life and death.
One thought leads to Heaven, one thought leads to Hell.
