After coming out of the Small World from Autumn Water Pavilion, Li Mo went to Ying Bing's room and pushed open the door to her boudoir.
The Ice Cube was still wearing the same moon-glow dress from yesterday, but the light, dark cloud gauze was no longer on her legs, and her light pink toes were like cardamom buds.
Her dark hair, which she had forgotten to comb last night, was scattered around her mouth and neck, and her eyes were still a little hazy.
Last night's naughty Ice Cube had inexplicably turned into a dazed Ice Cube.
"hammer treasure, stop bothering me."
Li Mo suddenly mumbled.
.....
Ying Bing's palm seemed to feel the scorching heat of the hammer from yesterday, and she instinctively pulled back her feet and curled up.
?
Li Mo said helplessly, "It really is hammer treasure. He's in my... uh, in my Grotto-Heaven, making a fuss about wanting to play with Xiao Yue."
Actually, hammer treasure had been making a fuss yesterday, and today he was even worse. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
One couldn't really blame Li Mo; given the situation yesterday, who would have paid attention to a hammer?
Besides, taking out the hammer treasure was quite troublesome; he still needed the blessing of world power.
Xiao Yue buzzed twice.
"How about we let them play in the Grotto-Heaven for a while?"
"Mm."
Ying Bing nodded slightly, watched Mid-Moon Yin disappear into Li Mo's palm, and then put on her shoes.
Li Mo took her hand, and the two of them rode the Somersault Cloud out the door, soon arriving at the main peak's great hall.
"Elders, you've waited long."
Most of the Elders of Qingyuan Sect were present, and Li Mo cupped his hands in greeting.
"You're going to the Qianlong Assembly, so it's only right to conserve your energy."
Shangguan Wencang chuckled, showing no displeasure at having waited.
The other Elders were the same, looking at these two youngsters who had only joined the Sect a year ago, all of them showing expressions of emotion and complexity. frёewebnoѵēl.com
"We can't follow you to Dijin, so we've prepared some things for you."
The Elders not going to Dijin was mainly because there was no need; going would be useless.
An Inner Scenery cultivator was a strong individual in Ziyang Prefecture, but in Dijin, even applying for a security guard position in a marquis's family would be tough.
Furthermore, in terms of actual strength, they were probably not as good as these two youngsters, with only Shangguan Wencang remaining, but the Sect Master had to oversee the Sect.
What would they go for? To be a burden?
"That..."
Xue Lao fumbled in his embrace, just about to speak.
"Elder Xue, Dijin is far, and this journey will take at least ten days to half a month."
Li Mo took out a jade box and a booklet from his sleeve:
"I've prepared some things for you; keep them as your trump cards."
Xue Jing: "?"
Why is this child using my lines?
He was about to wave his hand in refusal, but the box was directly stuffed into his hand.
The unyielding Elder Xue opened it, took a glance, and silently put it away.
"Xiao Mo's sincerity is such that this old man will accept it without being rude."
"You said you'd give the Junior some trump cards, but how can you accept things from him? Disrespectful to the elderly, what kind of behavior is that?"
Elder Han He snorted irritably.
Then, several mysterious Ores, each with its own divine properties, dazzled his eyes.
"Elder Han He, thanks to your teaching me the art of Casting, these few items might give you the chance to become a forging grandmaster."
They were all Materials that would be mixed into the forging of treasure weapons, and even divine weapons.
.....
Elder Han He's expression froze, and he opened his mouth; his heart told him this was wrong, but his mouth wouldn't obey.
Wait, when did his hand put all the items away?
"Elder Qian, this box contains large-denomination silver notes, and that box contains xuan crystals. Your martial arts require the aid of wealth Qi. I wish you an early breakthrough."
"Oh, and this Sheng Sheng {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} Chang Shou Wan is for you, Sect Master; don't be reluctant to eat it."
"Elder Su, I've obtained Yi Jian Shu (Chess Sword Technique) from Tian Miao for you. You can draw inferences from it. I hope when I return, I can see you have mastered this sword technique."
.....
Li Mo had long observed the Elders with his Tianming Divine Eye and intentionally left feedback that would be useful to them.
The Elders held the items, looking at each other, a sense of bewilderment rising in their hearts.
This... this isn't right, is it?
When a Junior travels far, for Elders to give them protective items and offer advice and admonitions, isn't that the normal procedure?
The quiet great hall's atmosphere became quite awkward.
"Thanks, Xiao Mo."
Xue Jing coughed lightly, feeling relatively at ease.
He had refined the treasure pills, and most of them would be left for Li Mo.
The eccentric and Face-loving Elder Han He, after a long silence, took out a black iron token from his embrace:
"With this token, you can participate in the Tianshan Casting Assembly. If you have time, go take a look."
"That was my intention."
"This...."
Sect Master Shangguan took two puffs from his dry pipe.
"Master, I'll leave her to you. She tends to go through a rebellious phase when I'm not around."
Li Mo said, handing a sumaru object filled with wine to Qian Bufan:
"Don't give her all this wine at once, or she'll drink it all very quickly."
"Alright."
Qian Bufan scratched his head and put away the sumaru object.
"I also have something to leave."
A familiar voice came from beside him.
Li Mo and the Elders were startled, only to see the cool and aloof Ying Bing taking out a stack of booklets from the boy with a large head.
"These are the oversights in the Elders' martial arts and the methods for correcting them. Practice diligently, and you can reach a higher level."
When did the Ice Cube prepare these?
Xiao Li was surprised for a moment, then suddenly felt very happy.
......
The Elders couldn't help but feel even more ashamed.
Aren't the children of the poor supposed to take charge early?
Oh, compared to these two youngsters, Qingyuan Sect seemed quite impoverished, in all aspects....
"I wish all seniors prosperous martial arts."
Li Mo cupped his hands.
His words carried a strong wish for the Elders to become Dragons!
"Good... good, good, we will certainly work diligently."
"Mm, this old man is only seventy-something, a prime age for striving!"
"Mm! We must bring honor to the Juniors!"
"Youth has no price, the journey begins now! Let's go!"
The farewell scene was quite touching.
It just felt like something was a little off.
Elder Qian, full of surging emotions, stepped out of the main hall, but was pulled back by Xue Lao.
"What journey are you starting? Are you a Qianlong? You're more like a Turtle Prime Minister."
Old Qian only reacted after being pulled back, his youthful spirit shattered.
"Then we're leaving."
Li Mo chuckled wryly, took the Ice Cube's hand, and then looked at Huanshen Sect Leader Qin.
Being a Grand Elder of Qingyuan Sect was only Huanshen Sect Leader Qin's side job; her main job was still an employee of Myriad Aspects Immortal Sect.
Managing the power of all beings would be impossible without her.
The Somersault Cloud rose, carrying the three of them.
"Go and return soon!"
Shangguan Wencang, Xue Jing, Qian Bufan, and the other Elders waved their hands.
Looking at the two figures soaring into the blue sky, their thoughts drifted far.
Recalling when he first joined the Sect, he was frail and sickly, but now he stood against the wind, his back carrying the meaning of supporting the heavens and earth. What remained unchanged was that sunny smile; compared to the sickly Young Master he once was, he was truly a gentleman now.
The girl had also grown into a stunning beauty, becoming a cool and tall Fairy, standing quietly by his side.
The biggest difference was that both of them were now famous throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Now, riding the clouds into Dijin, they were going to contend for the top tier of the human world.
Elder Qian mumbled with unfulfilled ambition:
"When will the Qianlong Assembly have an elderly division...?"
