Li Mo was soaking his feet, checking the investment feedback for the day.
Congratulations, Host, you have successfully invested in one portion of Ice Fire Wine and {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} one portion of Roasted Exotic Beast Meat.
Investment Feedback: One jar of Hundred Flowers Dew Cream.
Investment Feedback: One Night-Luminous Pearl.
Hundred Flowers Dew Cream: A high-grade healing medicine, made from the first dewdrop of a hundred rare flowers and exotic herbs, containing excellent regenerative properties, with miraculous effects on external injuries.
Night-Luminous Pearl: Produced in the North Sea, it shines eternally and is an essential item for an expert's Immortal Cave.
...
This reward should be Master's.
A round pearl, the size of a fist, appeared in Li Mo's palm, emitting a soft glow.
He had seen this item before.
At the Hengtong Merchant House in Ziyang Prefecture, there was a Night-Luminous Pearl hanging on the auction stage.
Judging only by its luster and color, it was inferior to the one in his hand.
In short, it was quite valuable.
Its use, however, was not as good as the Hundred Flowers Dew Cream.
Li Mo applied a little to his body; it felt cool, and the minor scratches from Body Refining in Shenfeng Cave during the day almost immediately began to heal.
Congratulations, Host, you have successfully invested in one portion of Ice Fire Wine and one portion of Roasted Exotic Beast Meat.
Investment Feedback: Twenty years of Martial Arts Comprehension.
Investment Feedback: One xuan crystal.
...
Ice Cube is still the best.
Li Mo couldn't help but sigh.
Just inviting her for a drink yielded twenty years of Martial Arts Comprehension.
This kind of thing, no matter how many years, is never too much.
Clearly, with the same investment, given Master's obvious preference for wine and meat, the rewards from Ying Bing were still significantly better.
One can only say this is the terror of a red destiny.
Hmm, for the sake of rewards, I must hold onto Ice Cube's jade leg tightly.
Is that a leg I'm holding? It's a shining money tree!
Host, you still have one feedback awaiting collection. Do you wish to collect it?
Li Mo remembered.
He had saved Murong Xiao earlier in the day.
This should count as a significant change to his destiny, right?
What good things will it yield?
Xiao Li was a little expectant, and with a thought.
Collect.
Congratulations, Host, you invested a bottle of Qing Xin Pill and successfully saved Murong Xiao, preventing him from falling into depravity.
Investment Feedback: One Indomitable Stone Heavenly Book Seal.
Indomitable Stone Heavenly Book Seal: When stamped on any martial art, it can deduce and perfect it, thereby elevating the martial art's Rank, up to a high-grade martial art.
Perfect martial arts?
Li Mo was stunned, almost dropping the Night-Luminous Pearl to the ground.
The next moment.
A small, thumb-sized seal appeared in his left hand.
The small seal was bronze-colored, yet different from any brass or bronze Li Mo had seen. Its four sides were engraved with tadpole-shaped characters, exuding an ancient charm.
If there's a stone Heavenly Book Seal, does that mean there are also bronze, silver, and gold ones?
Li Mo pondered.
Among what he currently cultivated, the highest Rank should be Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body, which belongs to the category of ultimate techniques, while Fire Heart Lotus Creation Art is a high-grade martial art.
Above ultimate techniques are Supreme martial arts.
If he obtains a silver or gold Heavenly Book Seal in the future, he can also upgrade the martial arts he has cultivated.
Upgrading existing martial arts is much more convenient than switching to other Cultivation Techniques.
Let's talk about it when I get one later.
Li Mo took out the Prairie Fire Swordplay Master had just given him.
Besides this mid-grade swordplay, there were no other martial arts he could upgrade at the moment.
He lightly stamped the Heavenly Book Seal onto the book page.
Immediately, the tadpole characters on it glowed faintly, all 'drilling' into the book, swimming among the words.
Some characters were rearranged by the small tadpoles, while others were swallowed and new characters were spat out.
Li Mo found it quite miraculous.
About five minutes later.
The tadpole characters completely lost their glow and vanished.
And the swordplay recorded in the book became:
Fire Crane Thousand Feathers Sword.
I've gained 20 years of Martial Arts Comprehension.
If I were to add it all to the other two Cultivation Techniques, it might not even be enough to Breakthrough from Major Achievement to Perfection.
Let's learn swordplay first.
Xiao Li rubbed his hands, reasoning with himself.
Well, actually, he just wanted to learn swordplay.
Who doesn't want to be a dashing, handsome sword Master who rides the wind and questions the moon?
Whether he's strong or not is secondary; being handsome is a lifelong affair.
With anticipation, Li Mo infused all his Martial Arts Comprehension into Fire Crane Thousand Feathers.
Twenty years of Martial Arts Comprehension, successfully infused.
Year One: You were intensely interested and diligently began to learn the Fire Crane Thousand Feathers Sword, successfully grasping its basics.
Year Five: You still eagerly pursued the study of swordplay, and the practice process was very smooth, finally reaching initial proficiency.
Year Eight: You entered a Bottleneck period, making no progress for a long time, and you began to doubt yourself.
Year Twenty: You finally, after a long period of quiet contemplation, summarized the swordplay experience through persistent effort, barely achieving Minor Achievement.
Li Mo opened his eyes.
Instantly, twenty years of continuous practice, day and night, through all seasons, became vivid and clear in his memory.
He looked at a branch outside the window.
No, this was clearly a peerless God Sword!
Breaking off the branch, he joyfully swung it, the branch in his hand faintly carrying a clear, crisp sound of wind.
Prairie Fire Swordplay originally emphasized burst damage.
The refined Fire Crane Thousand Feathers inherited this advantage and elevated it further.
Each time an enemy is hit, it leaves internal force within them, causing red marks to appear on their body, like burning crane feathers.
When the internal force accumulates to its limit, it can be unleashed all at once.
At Minor Achievement, the internal force can be stacked up to nine layers at most.
When I reach the Inner Breath Realm, I can replace the internal force with Inner Breath.
Dropping the branch riddled with cracks, Xiao Li was very satisfied.
After calming down, he couldn't help but ponder.
Twenty years, and only Minor Achievement?
Was it because Martial Skills are harder to Master than Mind-Cultivation Techniques or Body Refining, or was it because he had no talent for swordplay?
In the future, if I get other Martial Skills, I can add some Martial Arts Comprehension to them, and then I'll know.
Li Mo refocused his thoughts.
He sat cross-legged and began his Mind-Cultivation Technique practice.
The speed of opening Meridians needs to be accelerated.
My Xuanpin Immortal Body seems to have more main Meridians, and my path in the Qi Blood Realm is longer than others.
Buzz—
After a strange resonance between heaven and earth.
Li Mo once again entered the state of unity between heaven and man, and the purest Origin Qi from heaven and earth flowed into his body like water.
His consciousness slowly sank, entering his own body.
Internal vision.
This didn't require special practice; Li Mo could naturally do it after comprehending Fire Heart Lotus Creation Art to Major Achievement.
Of course, for others, it would probably take until the Inner Breath Realm to Master it proficiently.
Ordinary Qi Blood Realm cultivators could only rely on diet, practice, and continuous tempering of their own Qi and blood, then recklessly Shock their Meridians.
But with internal vision, Li Mo could not only use Origin Qi to refine Qi and blood but also use it to guide Qi and blood precisely into the Meridians.
For example.
The former is like a bucket of water, haphazardly splashed out.
The latter is like connecting a hose, precise and efficient.
Therefore, Li Mo's process of opening Meridians could only be described as 'naturally flowing'.
There was no so-called Bottleneck, and it was even less likely to be injured.
It looks simple, but achieving this was due to multiple factors.
The Xuanpin Immortal Body, the Major Achievement ultimate Cultivation Technique, and the increase in Meridian strength from Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body were all indispensable.
Alas, it's a bit slow.
I estimate it will take until midnight to fully open the 'Yangwei' Meridian.
Li Mo sighed softly in his heart.
These words could only be spoken inwardly.
Because if he said them aloud and others heard, he would be beaten.
Even Outer Sect Disciple within the Sect were elites chosen from an entire Fu City; each generation replaced the last, all aiming to enter the Inner Sect.
The condition was to open twelve main Meridians and enter the Inner Breath Realm within three years.
However, in the end, only one-tenth of the people succeeded in entering the Inner Sect.
And you still complain it's slow?
Unconsciously.
It was late at night.
The moon, more than ten times larger than Blue Star's, shone brightly, casting a silvery glow over the Qingyuan Mountain Range.
In the room, the fluctuations of heaven and earth Origin Qi slowly ceased.
The Yangwei Meridian is open.
Li Mo looked up, and the moon had just moved directly overhead. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Approximately... it took three hours?
If others knew, they would probably think they had seen a ghost.
But within Li Mo's body, the newly opened Meridian was truly filled with surging Qi and blood.
Of course, this was within Li Mo's expectations.
What truly surprised him was the number of Meridians in his body.
I should have thirty-six main Meridians?
Li Mo was both surprised and delighted.
For a martial artist, the main Meridians in the body are equivalent to an engine.
This means that the Qi and blood he can use in the future will be three times that of an ordinary Qi Blood Realm cultivator?
The gap in combat power would be even greater.
There are still about ten days until the Sect trial.
I wonder if any accidents will happen.
It's important to remember that Ying Bing's evaluation clearly stated 'a life full of hardships'.
So, if nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is bound to happen to her.
If something happens to her, then he, living under the same roof, will probably not be able to avoid being drawn in.
A sense of urgency rose in Li Mo's heart.
He craved power!
The Qi and blood accumulated from Origin Qi should still be enough to open one more Meridian.
Li Mo muttered to himself.
After using the restroom and drinking a glass of water, he sat down again in his original spot.
The heaven and earth Origin Qi began to fluctuate once more.
It was strange, though.
As long as he cultivated, he seemed to feel no fatigue or exhaustion whatsoever?
If not for the limitation of the conversion speed between Origin Qi and Qi and blood, it wouldn't be impossible to Cultivate twelve hours a day...
...
Next door.
In Ying Bing's room, many things were already frozen solid.
She never lit candles.
Because when she was Cultivating, candles were not allowed to burn.
In Gui Palace, all the lighting used throughout the palace was jade crystal lamps made from mermaid fat.
Two Meridians.
Still not fast enough.
Ying Bing lowered her eyes, calculating briefly.
The Legacy site she needed to go to required at least eight Meridians in the Qi Blood Realm.
This meant that in these ten-plus days, she still needed to open at least six Meridians.
Suddenly.
Ying Bing seemed to recall that this year's Sect trial did not seem peaceful. frёeωebɳovel.com
She hadn't successfully opened her Meridians yet at that time, so she wasn't a participant, only hearing some rumors.
It was said that a small number of Disciples went missing during this trial.
That's right, not dead, but missing, neither alive nor dead bodies found.
What happened there was unknown.
A bit more strength means a bit more certainty.
I must obtain one of the Yuan Huang Nine Souls of the Nine-Colored Yuanhuang.
Ying Bing's eyes, like jade and snow, flickered slightly.
In her previous life, by chance, she entered a secret place that was born from 'Azure Soul', one of the Yuan Huang Nine Souls of the Nine-Colored Yuanhuang.
It was also because of this that she displayed her talent and changed her destiny.
In her later life, this Legacy remained inseparable from her.
Later, through fortuitous encounters or various means, she gathered all Nine Souls of the Nine-Colored Yuanhuang, which also became one of her important relies on her path to invincibility.
It could be said that among the major Opportunities in her life, the Nine-Colored Yuanhuang ranked among the top three.
The Supreme martial art created by Ying Bing—the Nine-Colored Xuanhuang Scripture—also required cultivation only when possessing the Nine Souls.
Li Mo, is he still Cultivating?
He does have some perseverance.
It was strange, though.
Whenever Ying Bing thought of Li Mo being next door, her heart, once like solid ice, would ripple slightly.
She didn't dislike this feeling, but she disliked herself being affected by it.
What displeased her even more was that she didn't understand the origin of this emotion.
Is it because I still owe him a favor?
Ying Bing pondered for a moment and made a decision.
She would take Li Mo with her to the Legacy site.
Any small Opportunity within it would be enough to change an ordinary person's destiny.
Perhaps, it could allow him to step out of Ziyang Prefecture, or even the Eastern Wasteland Region, in his lifetime.
If he could witness even a fraction of the true splendor of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, it would be a life not lived in vain.
