Free Web NovelThe peak of Sword Tower.
The top of the Sword Tower still displayed the peculiar scenery formed around the strange stone. At first glance, there seemed to be no change, but upon closer inspection, slight differences could be discerned.
For instance, a few more fish swam in the clear spring, and the trees were lusher....
Li Mo had just finished his third attempt at replicating the strange stone, and without exception, each was slightly off.
So he stood at the top of the Sword Tower, gazing into the distance, emptying his mind.
"That's the Sword Pool over there...."
As soon as Li Mo saw the massive circular plaza, the image of Ice Cube standing on a high platform, pointing with a ruler, popped into his mind.
Ice Cube always had an aura of having grasped the truth.
Xiao Li could even imagine where she was lecturing.
Where demonstrations were needed, what kind of look she'd give a Disciple with dull Aptitude.....
"Wait, why did last night's scene pop up too?"
"No, why does she keep popping up?"
Li Mo couldn't help but mutter to himself. He should be concentrating on replicating the strange stone now.....
"What are you looking at?"
It was Wei Zhaoliu who spoke.
She was still wearing the glasses crafted from North Sea round crystal, her face somewhat indistinct, and her hair was much shorter than before. From her aura, she had likely just finished observing the strange stone again.
"Looking at Han Fairy."
Li Mo's gaze remained fixed on the Sword Pool as he replied.
"Hmm? You can see her?"
Wei Zhaoliu's eyes widened. She thought, 'This Li Shaoxia's eyesight is truly terrifying,' before nodding and saying,
"Oh, you mean Ying Bing. I went to listen to her lecture. She's truly an insurmountable peak. It's laughable that I once thought of comparing myself to her....."
Li Mo asked, "Why is your hair so much shorter?"
"Well, every time I listen to her lecture, I feel my Dao of Sword improves, and then I come back and try to erase that hammer mark."
"And then?"
"Every time I failed, so to make myself remember the lesson, I'd cut off a finger's worth of hair as a reminder."
"......You do look a bit stronger."
A sense of guilt suddenly welled up in Li Mo's heart.
However, Ice Cube also had to share half of this guilt; if it weren't for her, Wei Zhaoliu wouldn't constantly feel capable again.
It's better to finish replicating the strange stone as soon as possible.
That way, he wouldn't see the day Wei Zhaoliu went bald.
"Why does he always draw the strange stone?"
Wei Zhaoliu was puzzled. Was this a new method of cultivation?
Creating a God-Observing Picture?
There were once Seniors from Sword City who had this idea, but it always fizzled out later. The reason was that the strange stone itself didn't seem suitable for observation, though the sword marks on it could be.
Yet, few had the qualifications to bear the Divine Intention of those sword marks.....
Li Mo sat down in front of the strange stone, minding his own business. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
He took out his brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. The ink was ground by Ice Cube casually while she was drinking tea that morning.
The once abundant stock of qingmai jade jian now had only five sheets remaining.
Xiao Li perked up. Sword City allowed him to comprehend the strange stone, but he couldn't take it away.
He had to draw it before leaving Yunzhou.....
"This stone shouldn't just be a stone."
Xiao Li muttered to himself.
.....
Sword Pool.
In the past, when powerful Dao of Sword practitioners came to Yunzhou to lecture, there was no intermission. Since Ying Bing arrived, this rule changed.
What she taught was the Dao of simplicity, but it required time to comprehend and ponder.
Otherwise, as she lectured, others might eventually stop understanding.
Each break lasted about half an hour, not too long, not too short.
Ying Bing held Heavenly Frost, standing on the high platform of the Sword Pool. She simply brewed a pot of clear tea and closed her eyes to rest.
When one is quiet, one tends to overthink.
So, as soon as she closed her eyes, her thoughts drifted back to last night, the hazy moonlight, the flickering candlelight in the private room..... The sensation lingered, and the more she tried to forget, the more real it became.
It was as if the warmth of his palm still remained.....
Below, some of the more intelligent Disciples' eyes flashed with wisdom.
"Has Ying Fairy gained another insight?"
"Hiss..... She masters peerless sword techniques in the blink of an eye! It's very possible!"
"I wonder what profound Dao of Sword she's pondering now....."
The Disciples exchanged glances but dared not speak too loudly.
Fearing they would disturb Ying Bing's 'Dao comprehension'.
Ying Bing: "....."
No, she couldn't think about it anymore.
She took out her tea set, intending to brew tea to distract herself, but her gaze suddenly paused.
Was this her tea table?
The tea set on the table was given by Li Mo not long ago. It looked simple, but its material was extremely valuable. The only regrettable thing was that there was only one cup.
That single teacup had even been used by him to drink from this morning.
The tea leaves were given by him casually, the tea table was hammered by him, and the small tea snacks were made by him.
Besides that......
Gurgle.... The water for rinsing tea poured onto the boy with a large head next to it.
Hmm....
Anyway, this sumaru object was very sturdy, so it became her tea pet.
Even the tea pet was a Q-version boy with a large head of Li Mo!
"When did..... his shadow appear everywhere around her?"
"Really....."
Ying Bing pursed her lips and gently poked the forehead of the boy with a large head with her finger.
Then, her eyes moved slightly, and she picked up another tea leaf, sticking it onto the philtrum of the Q-version Li Mo.
Last time she put a note on his philtrum, he seemed very displeased....
"Miss Ying....."
"Miss Ying?"
The person by her ear called twice before she finally turned around.
"It's almost time for the lecture."
It was Elder Zeng who came to remind her. He looked at the doll, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he leaned back slightly.
"Okay...."
Ying Bing stood up and put away her tea set.
Why did the break time feel so short before.....
"What were you looking at just now?"
"Looking at....."
Ying Bing twisted the boy with a large head's head back into place and thought for a moment with downcast eyes.
"Wangqi Duoluo?"
"??"
.........
"Just drawing isn't enough."
"One must also experience it firsthand....."
After ruining another qingmai jade jian, Li Mo stood up.
Approaching the strange stone, he slowly extended his palm and touched it.
It was strange, indeed.
The moment he made contact with the strange stone, the seven Mystic Cores within his body began to faintly flicker. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Circulating according to the laws of the heavens, their rotational speed became faster and faster, even beginning to tremble slightly, with the commotion growing larger and larger.
Boom—
Li Mo inexplicably felt something.
This inexplicable connection was not due to the Mystic Cores themselves, but because they ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) were all stars within his World Seed.
Like attracts like; they seemed to have met their counterparts.
"Hoo....."
Li Mo suddenly realized that he seemed to be able to understand the true profound mystery of the strange stone through its surface.
This was something he had never seen before when comprehending martial arts on it.
"What's wrong with him?"
However, not far away.
In Wei Zhaoliu's eyes, Li Mo was merely in a daze.
There was nothing particularly special happening, but what surprised her was that this strange stone could not be easily touched. If one's Aptitude was insufficient, they would likely be instantly overwhelmed by the endless profundity within it....
The next moment.
The qingmai jade jian suddenly floated up.
Li Mo picked up the brush in his hand, wielding it with sweeping strokes, his brushwork like a Dragon dancing. This time, he was no longer cautious, but rather indescribably unrestrained and elegant.
