Free Web NovelHis name is Murong Xiao, and he grew up with his grandfather.
He wasn't always called a Genius.
From a young age, he had scale-like patterns on his body, which often led to him being bullied by other children in the Murong.
Whenever he returned from the private school, covered in dirt, his grandfather would say he was too kind and cowardly, not knowing how to fight back even when beaten.
But only he knew.
When he was being punched and kicked, what truly terrified him wasn't that he couldn't win against others, but a longing voice that echoed in his heart:
"Hungry."
So he didn't dare to fight back.
He was afraid that once he saw blood, he would lose control of that hungry self.
As he grew older, that longing in his heart gradually faded, but he still maintained a vegetarian habit.
Murong Xiao felt that he was no different from a normal person.
Until today.
He reached the second level of Shenfeng Cave.
"You are a Jiaolong, a born great demon, yet you don't eat blood?"
"Don't suppress yourself any longer."
"Return to your true self, and you will never again be bullied by the weak..."
His true nature, suppressed for many years, had never disappeared.
It was like a growing pile of dry grass; once ignited, the fire would become uncontrollable.
Just as Murong Xiao's consciousness almost dissipated, and scales almost covered his face.
The next second.
Someone pried open his mouth and stuffed something in.
It was round.
Before he could taste what it was, it rolled down his throat.
The amazing thing was.
His mind quickly regained clarity.
Murong Xiao opened his eyes in a daze and saw a young man standing in front of him, about his age, handsome and smiling brightly.
He held a porcelain bottle in his hand, and the Medicinal Pill fragrance emanating from it was refreshing just by smelling it.
He recognized him as the young man who was also accepted as a true disciple at the entrance ceremony.
"You're finally alright."
Li Mo breathed a ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) sigh of relief.
Oh my, that was close.
There were already few people on this second level, and he was the closest to him.
If Murong Xiao had lost his mind to killing intent, the first target of attack would probably have been himself.
"Thank you."
Murong Xiao thanked him softly.
Even if he was foolish, he knew that the young man in front of him had saved him.
What he had just eaten must have been some kind of valuable Medicinal Pill.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have had such an effect.
"Thank you, Brother Li, for your help. I was momentarily careless and was invaded by killing intent."
"It's probably more than just that, isn't it?"
"Hmm?"
Murong Xiao's expression stiffened slightly, and he looked up.
He felt as if the other person's smiling eyes had seen right through him.
"Actually, I also read in an ancient book that it said a Half-demons's Physical Body is usually affected by its Bloodline."
"The higher the Rank of the Bloodline, the deeper the influence. If not controlled, the demonic nature will revive... Your Bloodline should be of the Jiaolong type..."
"Just now, I saw horns growing on your head..."
Li Mo hadn't finished speaking.
Murong Xiao's expression suddenly changed several times.
Finally, his face darkened, as if he had made some kind of decision.
Step by step, he slowly walked over.
Li Mo cautiously took two steps back.
Could it be that Murong Xiao had a problem with his thinking and wanted to kill him to silence him?
Just as this thought arose.
Then.
Thud—
Murong Xiao knelt down cleanly and decisively.
He knelt so hard that the bluestone bricks on the ground cracked.
"Please, don't tell anyone else."
Li Mo: "..."
The Tianming Divine Eye's evaluation of his nature as kind was indeed quite kind.
He even suspected that if he were to lean into Murong Xiao's ear right now and say, 'You wouldn't want others to know about your Half-demons's body, would you...'.
Next, whatever demands he made, the other party would likely accept.
"Didn't Elder Han He also know about your Half-demons's body?"
Dismissing the little evil in his heart, Li Mo was still puzzled.
Murong Xiao said bitterly:
"You also know, Ziyang Prefecture all call me Qilin son... This is actually a lie my grandfather told."
After Murong Xiao's explanation, Xiao Li finally understood the reason.
Ming Jiaolong is a Disaster Beast.
Once it appears, it will cause a bloodbath.
That year, Murong Xiao's father brought back a woman, who was Murong Xiao's mother.
The two got married not long after.
However, it wasn't until she became pregnant.
Only then did the old head of the Murong discover that his son was a ruthless person, even more impressive than Xu Xian.
Many things happened in between.
But Murong Xiao was finally born safely.
The old family head knew that the Half-demons's body could not be concealed, so he simply did not hide it, but instead had people spread rumors in the city.
Over time, everyone in Ziyang Prefecture believed that Murong Xiao possessed a trace of the Water Qilin Bloodline.
The Qilin is an Auspicious Beast.
Over time, Murong Xiao became known as the Qilin son.
.......
Li Mo was greatly shocked after hearing this.
Your whole family are ruthless people.
"Don't worry, I will keep it a secret."
"But even if I don't say anything, you will eventually expose yourself."
"Alas..."
Murong Xiao remained silent for a long time, then sighed deeply.
How could he not know?
Even if he passed this hurdle today, what about in the future?
As a martial artist, he couldn't possibly be a good person his entire life.
At this moment, Murong Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up:
"By the way, what Medicinal Pill did Brother Li give me just now?"
"Here, this is called Qing Xin Pill."
Li Mo gave him the bottle.
"Qing Xin Pill?"
"I've eaten it before, it shouldn't have such an effect..."
Murong Xiao poured out one, examined it, and his eyes dimmed again.
This was indeed a Qing Xin Pill.
But, it was a six-pattern one!
A six-pattern Medicinal Pill, even the simplest healing Medicinal Pill, is rare and hard to come by; its value far exceeds the Medicinal Pill itself.
No wonder the effect was so good...
Even if the Murong had considerable influence in Ziyang Prefecture, it was still rare and hard to come by.
Because even if a Medicinal Pill Master refined it, they usually wouldn't trade it.
"Alright, I'm leaving now. I still have to practice."
At this moment, Li Mo waved his hand. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
"Brother Li, your Medicinal Pill!"
"You can keep it for now. A man's knees are worth gold; consider it not for naught that you gave me this great gift."
"Ah?"
"As for the Bloodline matter, I'll go back and check that ancient book again. Maybe there's a solution."
"Ah??"
Murong Xiao held the porcelain bottle, kneeling blankly in place.
He had also grown up with a silver spoon in his mouth, and this was the first time in his life he felt that his imagination was limited by poverty.
No way, big brother.
A six-pattern Medicinal Pill.
And it wasn't just one, it was an entire bottle!
He didn't even know how much it was worth.
Because in the hands of those who needed it, it was priceless.
Murong suddenly felt a little regretful.
Since he had already knelt, he should have kowtowed twice more.
Murong Xiao wanted to catch up, at least to say a few words of thanks.
But he only walked a few steps before stopping.
Because he found that he seemed unable to proceed further to where Li Mo was going.
"Brother Li, Brother Li Mo!"
"That's the third level!"
Murong Xiao's voice echoed in the cave.
With his own Physical Body strength, he could only reach the middle of the second level.
Qi Blood Realm, going down to the third level of Shenfeng Cave?
Just thinking about it was horrifying!
"No, Brother Li just saved me, I absolutely cannot let anything happen to him!"
"If I can't go to the third level, then I can only go beg Master..."
Murong Xiao scrambled to his feet.
He quickly ran towards the outside of Shenfeng Cave.
Meanwhile, a certain Xiao Li was completely unaware of this.
As he walked, he saw a message from the System:
【You have an investment feedback pending collection. Do you wish to collect it?】
"No."
Li Mo entered the third level, fully concentrated.
Looking up, various weapons were scattered and stuck on the mountain wall.
These weapons had all been owned by Inner Realm Masters.
Looking at them was like seeing the past of these famous weapon owners.
Seeing them pierce into others' bodies, held by their Masters, fighting to the death with enemies.
Similarly.
The sharp Qi of military killing they brought was more than several times stronger!
There might still be people on this level.
But at least not within Li Mo's line of sight.
"This should be far enough."
"If I go any further, even with my Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body, there will be danger."
Li Mo found a bluestone and sat down.
He first took out a gourd and took two gulps.
Ice Fire Wine.
Upon entering the mouth, it was like a clear, cool mountain spring, but after entering the stomach, it seemed to ignite, making every inch of his Meridians, fascia, and even bones, burning hot.
"Let's begin!"
Li Mo exhaled a breath of wine, chewed the Qing Xin Pill, and swallowed it.
He circulated his Qi. freewebnøvel.com
As the Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body operated, the sharp Qi of military killing washed over his body.
Pain!
Sweat trickled down Li Mo's forehead, and he gritted his teeth, persevering.
He felt his muscles were like unpolished stones being constantly ground, gradually revealing their jade luster and becoming increasingly tough.
And the potency of the Ice Fire Wine was the lubricant within, enhancing the tempering effect while also promoting muscle reorganization.
Sweat soaked his clothes, and white smoke rose from the top of his head.
Xiao Li directly experienced how painful it was to practice horizontal cultivation.
But, since he had already started practicing.
After a brief test, he began to incorporate his Meridians into the training process as well.
Buzz—
Just as Li Mo was cultivating.
The weapons stuck in the stone wall seemed to respond, all vibrating incessantly.
