Li Mo opened his eyes on the top floor and looked at the empty massage chair beside him. He did not get up, but instead, taking advantage of the peaceful and clear state of mind after observing the Taiyin, he continued to observe the Wukong Seeking the Dao Diagram.
When the sun had fully risen, instead of training his body, he went to the kitchen.
"It would be great if the Seventy-Two Transformations were as simple as Body Refining."
Xiao Li made sparerib soup, separating the seventh-grade Yao Beast bones on the chopping board with a single finger.
This Yao Beast was known for the toughness of its bones, especially its spine.
"Hmm..."
"Actually, I thought Body Refining was easy before because I had abundant resources."
Li Mo calmed his mind and checked his inventory.
There were still quite a few Medicinal Pills and Heaven And Earth Treasures, but their effects varied.
Those beneficial for Body Refining were already few.
And it was difficult to replenish them in a short time.
Everyone from Qingyuan Sect was setting off for Ziyang Prefecture today, so they couldn't provide feedback for now.
More importantly, Ice Cube wasn't by his side.
Pain, it was too painful.
"So this is what it feels like to live off one's past gains."
Li Mo looked at the several gold mountains in the System space and sighed bitterly.
He didn't know how much he would need on the road.
It wasn't impossible to end up with only money left...
"Before going to the Southern Border, I must comprehend the Seventy-Two Transformations."
"Otherwise, walking around the Southern Border in human form would be too conspicuous."
"I've pretty much comprehended the method of the Seventy-Two Transformations..."
While he was thinking, the bone soup stewed with karmic fire emitted a fragrant aroma.
Upon learning that Li Mo would not be returning to Qingyuan Sect with them, everyone was very reluctant, each tearfully eating three large bowls.
"Xiao Mo, the Southern Border has lush vegetation. I have a 'Hundred Herbs Illustrated Guide' here; keep it safe. When you encounter herbs, you must ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) identify them carefully."
Xue Lao's eyes were complex, feeling as if he was watching his child grow up and finally embark on a distant journey.
"Why are there fungi too...?"
Li Mo casually flipped through it.
Tang Xiaobao chuckled, "Junior Brother, how do you think Master came up with the Outer Dan method? That day, we were drinking mushroom soup at Dan Ding Peak. I was eager to taste it and brought it out before it was fully cooked." freewebnσvel.cøm
Li Mo: "..."
Thinking about it that way, Ice Cube's cooking wasn't so hard to accept.
"A poor family needs a rich journey. I'll give you some... Forget it, you're much richer than this old man."
Elder Qian paused mid-sentence. Being well-traveled, he quickly found something more valuable to impart:
"I'll teach you a Yao Race language phrase. You can use it to greet Yao Beasts."
"I'm all ears."
Li Mo became a little more serious. Knowledge was sometimes the most precious thing.
A single sentence could lead to a bloody battle, like 'What are you looking at?'.
Naturally, a friendly word could also resolve trouble.
Qian Bufan said, "Qiu Barbie Mu Nie Niu."
"...?"
Li Mo couldn't discern any friendly meaning in it, perhaps because it wasn't human language.
"This was taught to me by a Yao Race friend of mine, don't worry."
"Alright!" frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Li Mo indicated that he had committed it to memory.
Oh right.
Why wasn't Master speaking?
Li Mo turned his gaze and saw his beautiful Master's apricot eyes red, her red lips pursed. Only when her Baby Disciple looked over did she wipe the corner of her eyes.
"Master... you cried?"
"No."
Li Mo sighed, feeling that his Master, though seemingly carefree, was still deeply emotional:
"It's not a life-and-death separation. I'll be back in no time. Master, be strong."
"If you leave, how will I live?"
Shang Wu finally couldn't hold it in, looking a bit pitiful:
"Autumn Water Pavilion will only have me, an empty-nest beauty, left. I'll only be able to beg for food and drinks, be disliked by people, and perhaps even be beaten..."
"..."
Everyone leaned back defensively, sweating profusely.
Grandma, do you want to hear what you're saying?
Thinking about it that way, they suddenly became very reluctant to let Li Mo go.
If Xiao Li wasn't around, the Qingyuan Sect's Fighting King would reappear in the Jianghu... Hiss!
Li Mo: "..."
Ever since his beautiful Master failed to break through his Indestructible Diamond with one punch last time, it seemed she realized that her Baby Disciple's wings were getting harder and harder, and in the near future, she might not be able to defeat him.
His beautiful Master changed her strategy, adopting the 'whining' tactic...
Li Mo sighed helplessly and took out most of the remaining fine wine:
"Master, hold on for a while. I'll be back very soon."
Shang Wu's mood cleared up: "It's fine if you're a bit late too."
"Junior Brother, I have some picture books here. Take them and read them on the way..." Ouyang also offered his heartfelt wishes.
Princess Xiao Jiang was the most reluctant, sending two autumn clothes and two winter clothes.
Li Dage used his head-patting Supreme martial art to coax her for a long time.
"Next time, I will call out to Senior Tianzun in my dreams and ask to visit you in your Immortal Cave, and then we can meet!"
"Mm!"
Jiang Chulong pursed her lips and nodded.
A moment later.
Li Mo stood at the entrance of the inn, watching the war chariot disappear into the distance, and let out a long breath.
"They've gone back, it's good that they've all gone back."
"Only I'm left..."
Xiao Li was just sighing with emotion.
But then he suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something?
A few seconds later, he knew what it was.
Murong Xiao: "..."
The guy was still sitting there, covered in dust, like a real Buddha statue.
So not only had he forgotten, but everyone else had forgotten him too.
"Oi, he hasn't gotten on the carriage yet!"
Xiao Li chased after them.
...
A moment later, he returned with a helpless expression. With that interruption, much of the sorrow in his heart had faded.
Buyun Boots were ultimately not meant for long-distance dashing, but rather for agile movements.
Chasing a warship was even more nonsensical.
"Brother Murong, oh Brother Murong, it seems you can only continue your family visit to the Southern Border."
Li Mo patted his shoulder.
Murong Xiao had now Awakened his Bloodline and was already in the Xuan Dan Realm. This progress was undeniably fast.
He wondered if it was because Murong Xiao was very suitable for Buddhist Supreme martial art...
But going to the Southern Border with this level of strength was still somewhat dangerous.
And Li Mo also didn't know if the two of them were going the same way.
Plop--
Suddenly, a booklet fell from Murong Xiao's arms.
"Diary."
"Who writes a diary if they're a normal person...?"
Xiao Li did not have the habit of prying into others' privacy.
But the Southern Border was so vast, and he didn't even know where Murong Xiao was headed now.
"Brother Murong, if you don't speak, I'll take it as you agreeing."
Li Mo sought his opinion.
Murong Xiao: "..."
It seemed he had no objections.
So Xiao Li opened the diary to the first page:
【I now know where my weakness lies. I have challenged myself for many days now and can begin preparing to break through to the Xuan Dan Realm.】
【Brother Li is already a Qianlong Ranking Prodigy, while I am still languishing in the Inner Breath Realm. How can I repay him in the future?】
【To catch up to Brother Li's back, to break through to the Xuan Dan Realm, starting today, I will abstain from lust!】
It was clear from the lines.
Murong Xiao had made a great determination!
"Brother Murong, oh Brother Murong."
Li Mo chuckled, then turned to the next page:
【Day one of abstaining from lust, feels really good.】
He turned another page, and it still read:
【Day one of abstaining from lust. I must hold back this time. It's all Senior Brother Ouyang's picture books that are too good to look at.】
He turned again....
【Day one of abstaining from lust, success or death!】
The fourth and fifth pages had the same content.
Li Mo: "..."
Even if it wasn't for breaking through.
Brother Murong, couldn't you at least rest for a day?
Just then.
Murong Xiao's eyelids twitched.
