Free Web NovelThe next morning.
Li Mo got up, feeling refreshed.
He had only slept for two hours but still felt full of energy and vigor.
Last night, he had practiced until very late.
The result was that his third Meridian was only a tiny bit away from being unblocked.
Leaving aside everything else, his strength alone was much greater than before.
This was a conclusion he reached when he accidentally snapped his chopsticks while making breakfast.
“Is Ice Cube still practicing?”
“She’s really putting in the effort. No wonder she can be the Child of Destiny.”
Li Mo placed breakfast in the steamer.
All he needed to do was light a fire, heat it up, and it would be ready to eat—another small detail.
Are you kidding? Is this just breakfast for Ice Cube?
This is all real money, white-hot investment!
Moreover, with Ice Cube's Destiny Rank, she might even give him some pleasant surprises.
“Details determine success. I’m simply an investment Genius.”
Xiao Li happily gave himself this evaluation.
As for his silver, that went without saying.
In his System space, he had five thousand taels of gold alone, plus various precious and rare items.
Perhaps, they would all be useful in the future.
A truly successful investor must understand the principle that even a mosquito's leg is meat!
“I’ll go to Shenfeng Cave this morning to practice Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body.”
Li Mo pondered in his Heart-Nature.
He believed that a powerful Physical Body and Realm were equally important.
Although Xiao Li aspired to be a Sword Immortal.
But who said a Sword Saint couldn't build a tank?
Furthermore, Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body could enhance the connection with weapons, and once he had a good sword in the future, his swordsmanship would unleash even greater power.
Li Mo had just stepped out.
Before he had gone far, he met a familiar figure.
It was Xiao Qin.
Although he was still wearing the gray robes of an Outer Sect Disciple, his overall demeanor had improved significantly, and he seemed to have swept away the gloom, holding his head high and chest out.
Inner Sect.
Moreover, Xiao Qin's Qi was much stronger than before.
“Li Shidi.”
Xiao Qin had evidently been waiting at the entrance of Autumn Pavilion for a while.
Seeing the door open and Li Mo emerge, he laughed heartily, full of vigor:
“Thanks to you, I’ve returned to the Qi Blood Realm's ten Meridians.”
“Then congratulations, Senior Brother Xiao.”
Li Mo was not surprised by this and was quite happy in his Heart-Nature.
Lao Xiao was still a good person. It was a good thing that he could avoid wasting time and see the light of day sooner.
“It’s all thanks to Junior Brother.”
Xiao Qin shook his head and said sincerely, “If it weren’t for that xuan crystal from Junior Brother, I’m afraid I would have wasted a lot more time. This is a life-changing kindness.”
“It’s good that you’ve recovered. If this continues, Senior Brother will soon return to the Inner Sect.”
Li Mo praised him, without a doubt.
Lao Xiao should have already activated the Seven-Star Ancient Pendant.
He just didn't know whether it contained a Legacy, the Legacy of a powerful individual, or... a powerful individual themselves?
In any case, no matter which it was, Xiao Qin's future achievements would not be low.
As he was thinking this, Li Mo suddenly felt a sensation.
Someone... was peeking at him?
Li Mo's thoughts shifted, and he naturally realized.
Could it be... Xiao Qin's old grandfather?
“I truly don’t know how to repay Junior Brother’s kindness, which was like sending charcoal in the snow.”
“I recently had some fortuitous encounters and received a protective amulet from an old Senior.”
Xiao Qin took out a golden brocade pouch from his sleeve.
Its style was clearly not a product of this era, and its material was not ordinary gold thread. Even from a distance, one could feel a calm and gentle warmth from it.
Well, the only minor flaw was that the brocade pouch was strung with a hemp rope.
“Inside, there’s a feather. It was left by an Auspicious Beast with a powerful Bloodline, and it can ward off evil and nourish the Physical Body.”
“Isn’t such a good item something Senior Brother Xiao also needs?”
Li Mo probably knew who Lao Xiao was referring to as the Senior.
It seemed he really did meet an old grandfather.
No wonder he could produce such a good protective treasure.
“It’s not as useful for me anymore.”
“Please don’t decline, Junior Brother.”
Xiao Qin, seeing his hesitation, spoke somewhat eagerly.
Li Mo understood in his Heart-Nature but did not show it on his face, smiling as he took the brocade pouch:
“Then I shall accept it without being rude. Thank you, Senior Brother Xiao.”
There could never be too many defensive treasures.
He was currently practicing Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body, and his Physical Body's defense would definitely be formidable in the future.
In short, his physical defense was extremely high.
But when encountering 'magic damage', that might not be the case.
The brocade pouch just happened to make up for this shortcoming, at least he wouldn't have to worry about being ambushed by messy techniques.
One investment, two returns.
He won big.
“As long as Junior Brother finds it useful.”
Xiao Qin smiled as if relieved.
He was afraid that Li Shidi would decline and refuse to take it.
“Junior Brother, then I’ll be leaving first. I still have some miscellaneous matters to attend to.”
Xiao Qin waved his hand. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
His teacher was still very weak and urgently needed medicinal materials and treasures that were beneficial to the Soul.
He had to find a way to search for them.
Although he knew those things were expensive, he should at least inquire about where to obtain them first.
“Senior Brother, take care.”
Li Mo nodded.
As soon as he put on the brocade pouch, he immediately felt a trace of warmth.
Clatter—
A sound came from behind him; Ying Bing had opened the window for ventilation.
The ice on the window fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
......
On the way down the mountain.
Xiao Qin's steps were much lighter.
But before he had walked much further, the voice of Martial Venerable Qianxing echoed in his consciousness.
“Such Aptitude... Such Aptitude... It’s simply unparalleled in ancient and modern times!”
The tone was filled with deep admiration, and one could even hear shock.
This powerful individual, who once said that the Ziyang Prefecture Lord was nothing but an ant, was clearly losing his composure.
“Teacher?” ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Xiao Qin couldn't help but pause slightly, stopping his steps, and subconsciously said:
“Teacher, are you saying that Li Shidi’s Aptitude is very strong?”
“No, not him, it’s that little girl!”
The old man’s voice seemed unable to calm down even # Nоvеlight # now.
“Girl?”
Xiao Qin thought for a moment, then nodded and said:
“Oh, Teacher is talking about Junior Sister Ying Bing. I heard she and Li Shidi are childhood sweethearts. They grew up together and are both True Disciples.”
“They should advance side by side in the future, and perhaps even create a beautiful story...”
Lao Xiao showed a slight auntie-like smile, and a hint of envy.
“Advancing side by side?”
Martial Venerable Qianxing sighed faintly and said, “Disciple, you simply don’t know what she carries. People like her are born in response to destiny.”
“Your Junior Brother Li’s Innate Aptitude is complete. In a small place like Ziyang Prefecture, he’s outstanding, but only limited to Ziyang Prefecture.”
“That little girl, perhaps in the future Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, will shine brilliantly.”
“I never thought that after my Soul dissipated, I would be fortunate enough to witness the nascent stage of such an existence...”
Xiao Qin was utterly confused.
Yesterday, Teacher still had the demeanor of a transcendent figure looking down on the world. Wasn't this change in attitude a bit too sudden?
It was, quite abrupt.
“But Teacher, you just told me yesterday not to underestimate myself.”
“Hmm, if you can reach my former Realm, perhaps you will be fortunate enough to witness her soaring through the Nine Heavens.”
Martial Venerable Qianxing said with emotion.
It was as if even just becoming a witness was a great honor.
The Fire Sparrow Feather he gave to Xiao Qin, which Xiao Qin then gifted to Li Mo, came from one of his confidantes.
If he weren't familiar with it, he probably wouldn't have been able to perceive it so clearly.
“???”
Xiao Qin was a bit bewildered.
He hadn't even left Ziyang Prefecture, let alone the Eastern Wasteland Region, or even the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths beyond.
He simply didn't know what that concept entailed.
Martial Venerable Qianxing continued:
“For Ziyang Prefecture, Qingyuan Sect is a behemoth, but in the Eastern Wasteland Region, it’s nothing. All I can help you with is to give you the qualification to witness the vastness of the world.”
“That girl’s future, perhaps, will have a place in the legends of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.”
“The difference between them, you will naturally understand later.”
The old man's voice paused, then he said:
“When one person attains the Dao, even their close associates ascend.”
“Since Li Mo and Ying Bing have a childhood sweetheart bond, his future achievements will certainly not be low. In any case, he won't be worse than you. Interact with him more.”
Imperceptibly.
Martial Venerable Qianxing’s attitude had shifted.
From mentorship to encouraging more interaction.
And this shift was only because of Junior Sister Ying Bing?
“Li Shidi and I are kindred spirits. He is my first good friend.”
Xiao Qin’s smile was full of uninhibitedness.
Since they were good friends, why think so much?
“Your Heart-Nature is good.”
“I hope you can maintain your original intention, hahaha.”
The old man couldn't help but be infected by his smile.
But then, perhaps because he spoke too much, his voice became somewhat ethereal.
“I hope to find some marvel that benefits the Soul today.”
Xiao Qin quickened his pace down the mountain.
