Li Mo was utterly confused.
Elder Han He and Elder Zeng shook their heads slightly. Xiao Mo was still young, after all; he didn't understand the dangers of the Jianghu. What if they didn't teach him well and he was misled by others?
Elder Han He stroked the High Grade Sharp Weapon longsword that had just come out of the furnace:
"It was like that at first, but you also know that swordsmen have a bad habit of making flashy, useless things."
"How can you say that!"
Elder Zeng expressed a strong protest.
Xiao Li Jianxian said with a serious face, "As Dugu Qi Jian, a Horizontal Cloud Sword Immortal who was just a step away from becoming a Jian Ying, I personally believe Elder's words are mistaken."
"..."
Elder Han He scrutinized Li Mo's bare upper body.
Those explosive lines, the muscles gleaming with treasure light, the terrifying and magnificent Qi and blood, and... You bastard, if you're going to say that, at least put down the hammer!
"In short, ever since it was incorporated into Tianshan Sword Manor, the rules of the Casting Assembly have changed."
"Craftsmen, who forge iron year-round, more or less possess some Body Refining skills. The stronger the craftsman, the stronger their Physical Body."
"Thus, the Casting Assembly included the Physical Body in its evaluation criteria."
"Before casting, one must first go on stage to display their Physical Body. Later, this evaluation became increasingly detailed, with more and more standards, such as whether one possessed masculine Qi, whether their bones and muscles were coordinated enough, whether their lines were smooth and full enough..."
"This led to more and more craftsmen losing sight of the essential, spending a great deal of effort on Body Refining, and neglecting their craft instead."
"If it were just that, it would be fine, but later, a craftsman from the Demon Summoning Sect participated. He didn't even manage to cast a famous artifact, yet he still achieved a result based on his excellent Physical Body."
"He became famous because of this and began secretly selling a forbidden medicine from the Blood Refinement Hall. That medicine seemed to transform people, and from then on, several consecutive Casting Assemblies became a mere formality."
"Doesn't the Sword Furnace care?"
Li Mo was momentarily speechless.
This had turned into a bodybuilding competition!
Elder Zeng finally found an opportunity to interject: "Later, it was strictly forbidden. Before the competition, a strict inspection would be carried out."
"This forbidden medicine is called divine power powder. Its side effects are enormous. Excessive use can lead to the collapse of the Physical Body, and even severe weakening of the internal organs, overdrawing one's life."
"Hmm, Xiao Mo, you must never touch it," Elder Han He said with solemn seriousness. freeweɓnovel.cøm
Li Mo shook his head: "Impossible."
"I know, Xiao Mo, you're not one to take shortcuts..."
"Mainly, they wouldn't be as good as me even if they used forbidden medicine."
Li Mo quickly waved his hand: "Besides, there are side effects. Only a fool would use that."
"......"
Elder Han He suddenly felt that his recent emphasis was superfluous.
One year, Body Refining Supreme martial art Perfection.
He suddenly remembered why he believed Li Mo hadn't used any medicine.
Even using forbidden medicine wouldn't make you this fierce!
"Cough, but you still need to be careful not to be deceived by malicious people. Those from the Demon Summoning Sect are the most insidious and cunning."
"Alright, I'll try my best."
"Oh, and those people also have a characteristic that makes them easier to distinguish. Their heads are all..."
After a long anti-fraud education, Xiao Li only then continued his forging lessons.
He was now able to cast High Grade Sharp Weapons, and if the Materials were suitable, even an exquisite one was not impossible.
So, the immediate small goal was to forge a famous artifact.
Unfortunately, he had already pushed Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body to its limit.
Now, even using Divine Treasure Hundred Refinements, the improvement in Physical Body strength was negligible.
But now, he could probably only exert a trace of the power of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form.
The ten-thousand-zhang true body seen in the Divine Intention scene was still beyond reach...
"Even if I cultivate a Supreme martial art-level Body Refining martial art, it's probably far from enough."
"Besides, I don't even have a Supreme martial art."
"And the power of all beings is still insufficient to manifest the Great Dao Divine Form. I wonder how Huanshen Sect Leader Qin is handling things."
As Li Mo hammered the iron, his thoughts involuntarily surged.
......
Five days later.
The various peaks of Qingyuan Sect had shed their silver coverings and welcomed the brilliant spring light.
"Taiyin Divine Intent and Hundred Bird Phoenix Form are almost complete."
"Today, I will go to the main peak and communicate with the Bronze Divine Tree fragment again."
"Tianyun Dao Artifact, recalling when it was just born and forged..."
In the Autumn Water Pavilion boudoir, Ying Bing was standing in front of the mirror when she suddenly froze.
Immediately, she gently raised her slender hand, touching her rapidly paling face, feeling a slight unfamiliarity with that jade-like countenance.
She had never obtained the Bronze Divine Tree in her previous life!
How could she have... /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ seen it when it came into being?
This thought.
It didn't belong to her!
However, when it just emerged from her mind, it felt incredibly real.
In her previous life, when she was in the Guan Shen Realm, this situation had clearly not occurred, or perhaps it had, but...
She hadn't noticed?
After a long silence, contemplating for a moment, Ying Bing took out a green ruqun from the boy with a large head, its color like the misty rain of Jiangnan falling into the clear waves.
"Wearing this in spring is very suitable."
Ying Bing softly repeated the words of the young man with a smile on his face yesterday.
The sense of incongruity and unfamiliarity then dissipated from her heart.
【Tip: There are still six hours until the next ranking】
Ignoring the System prompt in front of her, she left the Autumn Water Pavilion.
.........
Half an hour later.
"Today, I'm eating breakfast alone."
Under the banyan tree, Li Mo sat at the empty table, suddenly feeling unaccustomed.
Master, needless to say, she basically didn't eat breakfast.
Qin Yuzhi had recently been running the Myriad Aspects Immortal Sect's 'business' in Southern Xinjiang.
Ice Cube had also gone somewhere.
Suddenly, he became an empty-nest Xiao Li. He could only eat breakfast while taking out a booklet to record the situation of the power of all beings in various towns in Southern Xinjiang.
Now, with Huanshen Sect Leader Qin's strong assistance in re-employment, the management of the power of all beings had reached a new level.
It could even be precise down to the individual, but for Li Mo, it wasn't necessary.
"Winter has passed, and the towns in Southern Xinjiang do not lack supplies."
"Our Myriad Aspects Immortal Sect is a legitimate Sect; we cannot intimidate the common people or engage in illegal activities."
"Then how can we improve efficiency?"
Li Mo took a bite of steamed ribs, feeling a little worried.
"Leave some for me!"
Qin Yuzhi's figure emerged from a dreamlike bubble, extended her chopsticks, and snatched a rib, chewing it with a crunching sound.
"Are things going smoothly?"
At that time, Qin Yuzhi had assured Li Mo that she only needed to make a slight move to raise the harvest of the power of all beings by a notch.
But judging from the reaction of the kongming myriad colors pagoda...
Huanshen Sect Leader Qin's performance was not ideal.
"These ribs of yours are quite tasty, you can't get them in Southern Xinjiang."
"Are you on vacation?" freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"I can't help it either. Too much has changed in these few thousand years. Learning to howl like a fox and giving people dreams seems to be a bit ineffective now... But it's already quite good that I, a dignified Sect Leader, am running errands for you, isn't it!"
Qin Yuzhi bit into a bun fiercely.
"Damn it, if it weren't for your food being so delicious, capturing my stomach..."
"Wait!"
Hearing this, Xiao Li, the Genius, suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind and muttered to himself:
"To capture a person's heart, one must first capture a person's stomach..."
"What are you mumbling about?"
"I have a way!"
