Inside the separate courtyard.
Around the Pill Furnace, there was already a circle of charred marks.
By the time Xue Lao and Senior Brother Tang Xiaobao arrived, Li Mo had already prepared the medicinal materials needed for the day, some of which were for Xue Lao.
Even with Senior Brother Tang Xiaobao assisting, the art of External Pills was far more mentally taxing than refining ordinary Medicinal Pills.
"Xue Lao, you've worked hard these past few days." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Li Mo noticed a hint of fatigue between his brows.
"The External Pill art was originally my own concept."
Xue Jing arranged the medicinal materials, then said unhappily:
"However, if you ask me to continue refining External Pills, it's indeed a bit too much."
"This is temporarily the last time."
"Temporarily? Seven isn't enough?"
Xue Jing raised an eyebrow slightly.
Although our External Pill art was temporarily successful, and Li Mo could afford the expenses.
But you can't play like this!
After a moment of contemplation, Xue Jing said:
"Mystic Cores, if properly controlled, can complement each other, otherwise they will interfere with each other, leading to more harm than good. You must grasp the balance yourself."
"You make a good point."
Before Li Mo, six Mystic Cores appeared, their light restrained and their colors distinct.
The aura of each Mystic Core needed to be maintained by Yi Soul to operate normally without conflict.
If not for his special Divine Intention observation, it would be difficult for even Guan Shen Nine Apertures to achieve the co-existence of seven pills.
Seven Mystic Cores were probably the limit of the Guan Shen Realm.
The Celestial Cycle Star Mystic Core Scripture was not meant for someone at his Realm to practice.
"Adjust your breathing."
Xue Jing also became much more serious, sitting to the side and closing his eyes to adjust his state.
And with Li Mo, while the six Mystic Cores revolved, a wisp of clear radiance gradually solidified, its peaceful and harmonious fluctuations calming the distracting thoughts in his heart.
The moonlight intertwined.
As his mind sank, he found that the inscriptions on the Dantian figure had become even more complex and profound, and compared to its initial childlike appearance, it had subtly grown a bit.
This was partly due to the Heaven And Earth Treasure.
But also indispensable was the Dual Cultivation of Phoenix Cries Heavenly Marsh...
He was currently progressing towards the Guan Shen Three Apertures.
At that time, it would also be much easier to copy the strange stones in Sword City.
...
An hour later.
In the Pill Furnace, where the fierce flames surged, six Mystic Cores revolved continuously around Li Mo, emitting mysterious fluctuations, like stars in motion.
And not far away, Tang Xiaobao, who had transformed into a Dragon-Tiger Golden Pill, also spun incessantly.
With the help of Senior Brother Tang Xiaobao, who was spinning so fast he was almost smoking.
That aquamarine Mystic Core was almost fully formed.
Now it was time to test Xiao Li.
Seven Mystic Cores, for him currently, was the absolute maximum, and also the limit of his Yi Soul.
The balance within this was extremely delicate.
This also meant that integrating the Mystic Core condensed from "Raging Waves Strength" into the trajectory of the seven-star operation required extreme caution.
Li Mo's forehead even broke out in a fine sweat, but it was instantly evaporated.
"Focus!"
Xue Lao's voice came from outside the furnace.
Li Mo stared intently at the Mystic Core, not even having time to reply.
Three minutes later.
A wave of exhaustion, like a tide, surged over him, and Li Mo's vision blurred.
But he finally saw it clearly.
That Raging Waves Mystic Core had been incorporated into the cycle...
Boom—
This time, the Pill Furnace lid flew exceptionally high.
However, the flames within the Pill Furnace showed no sign of stopping.
Through the surging flames, Xue Jing's somewhat anxious voice came again:
"Xiaobao, why isn't he speaking? What's wrong?"
Tang Xiaobao, dizzy from spinning, stopped:
"Master, Junior Brother Li is asleep."
".....Let's find the lid first."
...
After an unknown amount of time.
"This sleep."
"Feels like I was beaten up."
Li Mo slowly woke up, the wind and rain outside were dim, but he couldn't tell what time it was.
He felt a bit uncomfortable, but still mentally fatigued, he couldn't be bothered to think about the reason.
So, for internal injuries, external injuries, and Yi Soul, he directly took a set of six-pattern Medicinal Pills.
The effect was outstanding.
With a slight perception, he saw that the seven Mystic Cores were obediently circulating endlessly within his body, absorbing a large amount of Heaven And Earth Origin Qi.
His Yi Soul also reached three Apertures.
"It's not just a little bit stronger than before..."
"And, I have another trump card for self-preservation."
Li Mo got up and did a set of calisthenics, stretching his body.
He was somewhat eager to try it outside.
But considering that after one strike, he might fall asleep again...
He decided against it.
This Heaven-Overturning Hammer, rather than saying it mobilized the power of the stars, was more about allowing him to mobilize the power of the World Seed to a greater extent.
...
Li Mo walked out of his room and received bad news—it wasn't mealtime.
Chu Long was cleaning the main hall, tidying up useful things.
Ying Bing, surprisingly, wasn't practicing today; she sat there with a slight frown.
Grumble—
Xiao Li, who had just sat down to drink tea, heard his stomach rumble at an inopportune moment.
Then he heard the second piece of bad news.
"Are you hungry?" Ying Bing asked.
Li Mo: "..."
To say he wasn't hungry would be too absurd.
To say he was hungry, he was afraid Ying Bing would reply with 'I'll make you something'.
He didn't know where Ice Cube's interest in cooking came from...
"Cough... I want to eat donkey meat fire-baked flatbread, there's a shop right across the street."
Xiao Li's quick thinking saved him.
"I... I'll go buy it..."
Jiang Chulong left the main hall and went outside to Yulong Street.
Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the person opposite him.
The young lady seemed to be in poor spirits today... she didn't go to Sword City to lecture, nor did she practice her cultivation...
He suddenly remembered.
It was the end of the month.
This period was when Ice Cube's mood was off, it should also be when she was on her period...
"If you're really uncomfortable, I do have a method."
"Oh?"
Ying Bing put down her teacup, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
She had just been looking at the System countdown.
Today was the last day of the System ranking, which was why she didn't go to Sword City.
Uncomfortable?
"What method?" she asked casually.
"Tuina massage, relaxing muscles and activating meridians, would Young Miss like to try it?"
Li Mo's expression was serious.
As for the miscellaneous Moves in Flower-Plucking Finger, as long as he didn't use them, it would be fine. Even if the effect was {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} a bit weaker, it was still an ultimate technique.
It had Acupoints for relieving menstrual pain...
Upon hearing this.
Ying Bing's eyelashes trembled slightly.
He...
Why was he bringing this up again?
Did he have some obsession with this aspect?
Or was it today...
"Today... no, let's talk about it later."
"Alright then."
Li Mo was even planning to set up several massage and tuina rooms on the upper floors of this inn.
After all, it was an ultimate technique; it shouldn't really be wasted. He could recruit some people and teach them a Move or two.
And this inn could serve as Qingyuan Sect's stronghold in Yunzhou, so it was necessary to operate it.
When it reopened, with the inn offering food, drinks, and entertainment all in one, wouldn't it be wonderful?
No sooner said than done.
He called Xu Yi and went up to the third floor together.
