Li Shifu hummed a tune, beginning his busy day.
The ingredients were exotic beast meat hunted today.
Being in a good mood made cooking extra enjoyable.
His talent as a chef should be a tiny bit stronger than his talent as a swordsman.
Spicy Ginger Winged Serpent, Stewed Spiny-backed Tortoise, Scallion-Exploded Black-Horned Sheep, Braised Charred Ring Wolf, plus a small green vegetable...
Four dishes and one soup, absolutely delicious. freewebnσvel.cøm
“So fragrant.”
As soon as the dishes were served, a figure in palace attire appeared at the doorway, quickly approaching the table and picking up a piece of mutton to put in her mouth.
“Master, didn't you go to the meeting with the Elders?”
Li Mo handed her a pair of chopsticks.
Qingyuan Sect was currently in a tumultuous period.
The matter of Ice Cube receiving her Legacy was causing a stir throughout the Sect.
If, before, everyone viewed Ying Bing as the future Sect Leader, now she was completely regarded as a figure akin to the first Ancestral Master of Qingyuan Sect.
If Ice Cube wasn't only sixteen, the Elders would have loved to enshrine her.
At this critical juncture, the Demon Summoning Sect's fiends caused trouble.
The Sect Master had immediately summoned all high-ranking officials to Qingyuan Main Peak for a meeting.
“Those old men just kept talking in circles, I couldn't be bothered to listen.”
Shang Wu clicked her tongue, her beautiful brows furrowed, full of disdain for the old geezers.
Li Mo: “.....”
Alright, he couldn't expect Master to offer any constructive opinions.
“However, the Sect Master did give me a task.”
“I reluctantly agreed.”
Shang Wu propped her cheek with her hand, her chopsticks moving like lightning.
Li Mo blinked: “Master, you actually listen to Sect Master, that old man's orders?”
“He told me to move to Autumn Water Pavilion so it would be convenient for me to teach you.”
Shang Wu propped her cheek with one hand and lightly snorted, “If it weren't for Xiao Bing'er being here, I wouldn't even bother coming.”
Li Mo gave a wry smile.
He probably understood the Sect Master's meaning.
Rather than saying she came to teach him, it was more like she came to guard Ying Bing.
While Master was unreliable, she was indeed formidable in a fight, capable of even plucking out handfuls of the Sect Master's beard if provoked.
With such a terrifying presence overseeing Autumn Water Pavilion, the safety factor would rise sharply.
After the meal.
“Xiao Bing'er, what kind of Legacy did you receive today?”
Shang Wu asked again, lowering her voice.
Ying Bing put down her bowl and chopsticks.
Towards this boisterous Elder of Qunyu Peak, she ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) was uncharacteristically less aloof.
As she activated her Qi Blood, a layer of Scarlet Phoenix Qi gradually enveloped her.
Shang Wu's eyes showed surprise, and she casually tossed a wine cup over.
The wine cup was surprisingly held in place by a gentle force within the Scarlet Phoenix Qi, slowly rotating.
The wine within the cup was also controlled by Ying Bing, flowing out to form a sphere of water that revolved around her.
“To be able to manifest Inner Breath externally in the Qi Blood Realm... No, this is much stronger than Inner Breath.”
Shang Wu clicked her tongue in wonder.
“Hmm, it's just a trifle application.”
Ying Bing nodded slightly, and the Scarlet Phoenix Qi suddenly surged.
Crack—
The wine cup shattered into ceramic fragments.
For offense, the Scarlet Phoenix Qi could surge forth to harm people invisibly; for defense, it could transform force, deflecting a thousand pounds with four ounces.
Shang Wu clapped, finding it extremely impressive as well.
Li Mo looked at the shattered porcelain on the floor with melancholy: “My celadon wine cup!”
Suddenly, he had a crazy idea.
“Ice Cube, how much water can you control?”
“Water?”
Ying Bing walked to the water vat, and with a pull of her Scarlet Phoenix Qi.
Immediately, the gushing water transformed into a water Dragon, circling around her with effortless ease.
Li Mo's eyes lit up.
He placed his finished rice bowl into the water flow enveloped by the Scarlet Phoenix Qi, letting it swirl around with the current.
Ying Bing: “?”
Li Mo: “It's getting quite clean.”
Xiao Li seemed to have discovered a new continent.
Looking at the wonder and admiration in the young man's eyes, Ying Bing's slightly furrowed brows relaxed, and she suddenly felt that this feeling was not unpleasant.
She even felt a sense of Minor Achievement in her heart...
“Can I add two more bowls?”
“Hmm, naturally.”
“Wow, impressive, impressive.”
Shang Wu propped her cheek with one hand, looking at the young man and woman not far away, a smile flowing in her hazy, drunken eyes.
Ice Cube...
That name was quite fitting, actually.
Oh, right, did she forget something?
Never mind, it probably wasn't very important...
.....
The moon hung high in the sky.
In the room.
Ying Bing wrote graceful characters on a bamboo slip.
“After soaking in the Nine-Colored Yuanhuang essence blood pool, the Physical Body has been reborn, making it suitable for Body Refining.”
“His Aptitude for the Dao of the Sword is barely acceptable; with sufficient effort and guidance, he might be able to cultivate a Supreme martial art sword technique to Major Achievement.”
“He possesses a pure heart; the 관신 method is of utmost importance, and he must cultivate a righteous and peaceful method to avoid straying into evil paths.”
What she wrote was, astonishingly, her current evaluation of Li Mo.
It was also her plan for his future development.
Ying Bing had decided.
In the future, when she leaves the Eastern Wasteland Region, she would bring Li Mo with her.
For some reason, he had undergone such a great change in this life.
Could it be because of her Rebirth, causing a butterfly effect?
No matter the reason, it didn't matter.
In this life, in the Cave, he had given the Legacy to her; this was a fact.
Perhaps he was still unremarkable now.
But with her help, why couldn't he defy Heaven and change his fate in the future?
What gave Ying Bing a small sense of satisfaction was that while Li Mo didn't have any exceptionally outstanding talents, he also didn't have any fatal flaws that needed to be remedied.
All in all, he was a clean slate, with enough malleability for the future.
As long as he was guided properly, it was highly possible to elevate him into a true Prodigy.
For now, it was enough for him to secure a place among his peers in the Eastern Wasteland Region.
She put away the bamboo slip.
She returned to her bed and drew the bed curtains.
Soon, an icy chill permeated the air, and ice crystals slowly spread outwards from the bed.
Although she had obtained Azure Soul in advance,
before the Inner Scenery Realm, without forming an Inner World, she ultimately couldn't control Taiyin Power...
In fact, because of the Azure Soul's presence, her Physique was further enhanced.
Taiyin Power, instead of decreasing, increased.
This also meant that her Realm growth rate would be even faster.
Within the Azure Soul, there was also a Supreme martial art level technique, focused on the application of Inner Breath.
“Scarlet Phoenix Qi.”
She had known about this martial art for a long time, but it was useless before because she didn't have Azure Soul.
When the System's promised ranking settlement arrived, she should be able to enter the Inner Breath Realm.
.......
Next door.
“By the way, what about the reward for coming in first in the Sect trial?”
“It couldn't have been embezzled by Master, could it...?”
Xiao Li pondered for a moment, then gave up thinking.
It wasn't important; compared to the rewards he reaped from Ice Cube, they were all but fleeting clouds.
As everyone knows, the rewards feedback from the System are usually better than the things invested.
Today, he should be considered to have invested the Legacy of the Nine-Colored Yuanhuang into Ying Bing.
The feedback should definitely be something better.
With a thought.
