“What method?”
Qin Yuzhi watched Li Mo raise a finger, looking confident, and couldn't help but show suspicion. She was so smart yet couldn't think of a method, and this kid just smacked his head and came up with one?
This makes me, the dignified God Summoning Sect Leader, seem so worthless, doesn't it?
Li Mo's lips curled slightly: “I have a good thing. Once you taste it, you’ll never forget it and won’t be able to live without it for the rest of your life...”
“It’s just that I can’t make much of this on my own; I’ll have to ask Xue Lao for help.”
“!”
Qin Yuzhi leaned back slightly.
Why did she suddenly feel like Xiao Li had grown devil horns on his head?
“Xiao Mo...”
“Ahem, when discussing official business, use titles.”
“Hmm, Huanshen Sect Leader Li, people who often serve as a Sect Leader know this.”
Qin Yuzhi’s expression became serious:
“If the beam above is not straight, the beams below are easily crooked. You are still young, and it’s easy to be overly eager for success...”
“?”
“I know you’re a bit eager, but please listen to me first. Do you remember the Wu Lian Hall I told you about last time? The Hall Master at that time was also a heaven-blessed genius, until later, he came into contact with a certain drug...”
Li Mo blurted out: “divine power powder?”
“How do you know?” Qin Yuzhi was stunned.
“Uh, actually, the Wu Lian Hall no longer exists. The Demon Summoning Sect now only has the Blood Refinement Hall.”
“???”
Huanshen Sect Leader Qin’s eyes glazed over, and drool almost dripped from her mouth.
After a moment of silence, the expression on her round face turned to one of dejection.
She had originally wanted to show off her achievements in managing the Huanshen Sect, such as eradicating forbidden drugs, but now she found that she seemed to have accomplished nothing.
Seeing her disheartened look, Li Mo comforted her: “Let’s start over! Together, we’ll make the Myriad Aspects Immortal Sect bigger and stronger! And create new glory!”
“No.” Qin Yuzhi shook her head.
“Why?”
“Can we do things that violate laws and discipline?”
“...”
Li Mo was speechless.
It’s estimated that even the Demon Summoning Sect members of today wouldn’t dream that their former Sect Leader was so law-abiding.
“You eat that stuff every day yourself, what does it have to do with violating laws and discipline?”
“Huh?”
“MSG and chicken essence. You eat them with every meal and find them delicious, and you even said you couldn’t eat in Southern Xinjiang without them.”
Li Mo took out two small jars, each containing white and light yellow powder.
Qin Yuzhi opened the jars and tasted them, her eyes lighting up. It was the familiar umami flavor.
“So you’re talking about seasonings?”
“That’s right. Aren’t you uncomfortable if you don’t eat it for a meal? What’s wrong with saying you can’t live without this stuff?”
“...That makes sense.” Qin Yuzhi found herself unable to refute.
Li Mo asked again: “Oh, right, Huanshen Sect Leader Qin, aren’t you able to send dreams? Can you reproduce the taste of dishes in dreams?”
“Hmph, you underestimate this Sect Leader too much. Pulling an entire city of people into a dream to feast, I merely made a slight move.”
Qin Yuzhi cheered up again, feeling motivated.
“Then I’ll leave the advertising to you! I’ll go find Xue Lao and see if he can figure out the recipes for MSG and chicken essence.”
“Ad... advertising?”
After they finished speaking, Li Mo got up and went to Dan Ding Peak. To get these two seasonings onto the dining tables of so many common people in Southern Xinjiang, other problems simply didn't exist.
Anyway, he wasn't short on this bit of money.
What was important was the recipe. With the recipe, it wouldn't be difficult for him to mass-produce these two items.
Emmmm
However, he couldn't figure out the recipe himself, and he didn't quite understand how the protagonists in novels knew everything. Schools don't teach this stuff either...
Upon reaching Dan Ding Peak, things progressed more smoothly than he had imagined. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Xue Lao wasn't there, but he didn't need to make a move. Senior Brother Xiao Bao tasted a bit and then quickly wrote down the ingredient list, even including the production method. He was practically a walking detector.
And Li Mo only paid a few lollipops.
......
On the other side.
In the ancestral hall of Qingyuan Main Peak, Shangguan Wencang lowered his eyelids slightly, sitting with the Grand Elder. The Sect Master and the Qingyuan Sect’s only Grand Elder both looked solemn.
Hmm, now perhaps not the only Grand Elder, but possibly the only reliable one...
“Xiao Bing’er, try again.”
“When you broke through the seven apertures of 관신, the Bronze Divine Tree just happened to hum.”
“It should... be related to you.”
Although this was just a fragment.
But, after all, it was a true Tianyun Dao Artifact.
Ying Bing lowered her gaze, looking at the ancient and miraculously crafted Bronze Divine Tree, and actually felt a familiar summons.
The incomplete Tianhuang Domain lit up at this moment, connecting to the stars on the Divine Tree.
One Divine Intention after another, like leaves, hung on the branches of the Divine Tree.
At this moment, a halo flowed, converging into a scene before Ying Bing’s eyes. It was a vast starry sky, and beneath the myriad stars was an endless ancient giant city, with a magnificent and majestic Divine Tree standing in the center of the giant city.
Dark golden patterns flowed on it; these were roots extending to unknown distances, supplying the power of all living beings to it.
Its branches seemed to extend out as invisible chains, binding unseen existences, no one knew where.
The wind in the azure sky blew, was the sound of collision chains, or leaves?
The complete Bronze Divine Tree!
The last time she communicated with the Divine Tree, she hadn't seen this scene. What caused this change... was it the Tianhuang Domain?
Not only the Divine Tree, but also the two figures playing chess beneath the tree appeared incredibly clear. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
One of them was Ying Huang.
The image of Ying Huang seen in the Jade Phoenix had changed; she wore a beautiful and mysterious dark profound cloak, her face deeper than its previous softness, and her long hair cascaded like a waterfall.
Her expression was calm, just like her chess moves.
The person holding the white pieces opposite her wore a yellow long gown, with eyes half-open and half-closed, as if feigning sleep.
Ying Huang spoke: “Yunmeng, you won’t find the answer to this game even in your dreams.”
The yellow-robed man seemed to wake from a dream, accidentally reaching out and scattering the chessboard.
“Hmm? Oh, sorry, I fell asleep thinking.”
“Is this what you mean by the outcome not necessarily being within the game, but sometimes outside the chessboard?”
The communication between Ying Huang and the Bronze Divine Tree broke off, as if she had exited a certain state, and her gentle and soft expression reappeared on her face.
How to describe this feeling?
If one had to say, she looked more like a ‘human’ at this moment.
Yunmeng Xian didn't blush at being exposed: “How can a chessboard truly be like the vast Nine Heavens and Ten Earths? Oh, right, don’t you have a Tianhuang Domain that has gathered the Yi Souls of thousands of living beings?”
“How about you use all living beings as pieces, manifest the game, and then let me try to enter?”
Evidently.
Yunmeng Xian’s attempt this time failed.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have later been trapped by Qin Yuzhi within the Tianhuang Domain, unable to break free even after it was torn apart.
A moment later, Yunmeng Xian was released, flopping onto the ground, his expression full of frustration:
“This Human City situation is even more unsolvable than chess...”
But as he spoke, he smiled again: “If the peace of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths could always continue as you planned in your chess game, that would be quite nice.”
Ying Huang shook her head and said: “You are right about one thing: the myriad living beings are alive, but chess is dead. From the moment Great Shang was established, it began to move ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) towards its end.”
Yunmeng Xian murmured: “Are we... the same?”
“But the dream will continue.”
Ying Huang’s gaze seemed to pierce through endless years, crossing space and time to look at that latecomer.
She gently raised her finger, and the broken Bronze Divine Tree, like embers rekindled, burst forth with light that threatened to consume itself. The numerous bird Divine Intentions standing on its branches turned into starlight and vanished.
Fragments peeled off the broken Divine Tree, as if reborn.
She smiled and said:
“I hope that you, who have received this power, will not be controlled by it and will forge your own path.”
