Free Web Novel“Master, actually you were still late; I’ve been back for a few days already.”
“You... you ate it?!”
Shang Wu instantly froze, watching her Baby Disciple nod with a melancholic expression, then sigh softly while looking up at the sky with his hands behind his back.
Autumn Water Pavilion fell silent.
They looked at each other, speechless.
The wind today, was suddenly a bit noisy.
Seeing his beautiful Master cover her mouth, her almond eyes fluctuating intensely, Xiao Li didn’t actually feel that great.
He always felt her gaze was very impolite.
He remembered when he was little, competing with other children, and he blurted out, “My brother dares to eat poop,” the other child had a similar look in their eyes.
“Master, actually, if Ying Bing’s cooking isn’t bad, then it’s still....”
“I understand, you don’t need to say more. You’re back, and you’re still alive and well, which is a double blessing. Let’s have a drink, Master and Disciple, it’s all in the wine.”
Shang Wu uncorked her small gourd, taking two celebratory sips.
Then she casually handed the small gourd to Li Mo, patting his shoulder heavily:
“Well done.”
“......”
So how did things escalate to us drinking together?
With the crisis averted, Shang Wu blissfully reclined in her rocking chair, her almond eyes narrowing.
The sun was very bright today, and as soon as she lay down, the sunlight outlined a painting.
A poem says: From the side, it’s a peak; from the front, a ridge...
Seeing Li Mo about to leave, she turned her head again, asking drowsily:
“Oh right, Baby Disciple, what are we eating tonight?”
Meaning, since you’re going out anyway, I’ll order something.
Li Mo couldn’t help but grin:
“Leftovers. You also know that the Nine Peaks Martial Meet is approaching, and I’m quite busy with my cultivation.”
“Hm?”
“I actually didn’t finish eating that day. There was still some Nine Revolutions Braised Intestines, stir-fried pork with chili....”
“!”
Seeing his Master completely awake, Li Mo suppressed his laughter and slipped away quickly.
As his footsteps faded, Shang Wu glanced at the edge of the water vat. The spot where the vegetable basket used to be was empty, and she lightly spat:
“Hmph, Rebellious Disciple....”
..........
At the same time.
Outer Affairs Hall.
“Verification confirmed.”
“Inner Sect Disciple Xiao Qin, for pursuing and killing one Qi Blood Realm Perfection culprit, awarded one thousand Contribution Points!”
The Executive of the Outer Affairs Hall, after carefully verifying the token, smiled and nodded at the young man opposite him.
To be able to kill a Qi Blood Realm Great Perfection villain in actual combat right after entering the Inner Sect showed that the Disciple in front of him was a promising talent.
Many of the Disciples who came to submit tasks also cast meaningful glances at him.
Bounty hunting missions offered generous rewards, but their failure rate was also high, and they carried significant danger.
Therefore, not many Disciples took on such missions.
A considerable portion of them did so for the sake of self-improvement.
“One thousand Contribution Points....”
“May I ask, Executive, how many Contribution Points are needed for rare treasures beneficial to the Yi Soul?”
Xiao Qin’s face, however, showed little joy.
“Yi Soul rare treasures?”
The Inner Sect Executive was momentarily stunned, then shook his head and said:
“I can tell you without checking, there’s nothing below thirty thousand Contribution Points.”
“Those are items only used by those in the Guan Shen Realm. It’s too early for you to be exposed to them now. Don’t aim too high.”
“I suggest you exchange for some healing items first, to avoid leaving hidden injuries.”
This Inner Sect Executive had a good impression of him, so he said a few extra words.
“Thank you!”
Xiao Qin cupped his hands in thanks, then couldn’t help but sigh.
Indeed, it was as he had thought.
When he went down the mountain for missions, he had inquired about similar items, but either they weren’t available, or their prices were completely beyond his imagination.
Exchanging with Contribution Points within the sect was indeed more cost-effective, but it still exceeded his affordability....
“Child, don’t be anxious. This old man is just a bit weak, not yet to the point of dissipating.”
Martial Venerable Qianxing’s voice sounded, but it was much weaker than before.
“It’s all my fault, for being careless for a moment.”
Xiao Qin’s face showed remorse.
When apprehending that villain, he hadn’t thoroughly investigated the opponent’s information, unaware that the opponent had accomplices, resulting in him being surrounded.
This caused his Master to expend a lot of Yi Soul to save him.
“Everyone has their youth. For your first life-and-death struggle, you’ve already done remarkably well.”
“You’ve already reached Qi Blood Perfection, but unfortunately, I’m unable to refine the Tiger Sinew Qi Condensation Pill for you now.” ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Although Martial Venerable Qianxing was weak, his tone carried a hint of satisfaction.
The Nine Peaks Martial Meet was approaching.
Xiao Qin had originally wanted to Breakthrough to the Inner Breath Realm before then and achieve a good ranking.
However, he didn’t expect such an unforeseen event....
“Senior Brother Xiao? You’re here too.”
He had just walked out the door.
Suddenly, someone called him, and Xiao Qin subconsciously turned his head.
It was Li Mo, who had arrived at some unknown time, smiling at him.
“Junior Brother Li, are you also here to submit a task?”
“Yes, I also took on a bounty hunting mission.”
Li Mo nodded, also noticing that Xiao Qin had recently been in a battle, as some of his injuries hadn’t fully healed.
“Three days apart, one must look at a person with new eyes.” ƒrēewebnovel.com
Xiao Qin couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.
Looking at Junior Brother Li, it was clear he had completed the mission with ease.
One should know that bounty hunting missions were difficult, and the targets pursued were at least Qi Blood Realm Perfection. Anything below that was handled by local government and wouldn’t be reported to Qingyuan Sect.
Recalling their first meeting, Junior Brother Li had just opened his meridians, and now he could easily kill a Qi Blood Perfection opponent.
“I was lucky; that villain was injured, and his full strength could only be displayed at six or seven tenths.”
“So that’s how it is.”
Hearing Li Mo say this, Xiao Qin felt a slight relief.
“Oh right, Senior Brother Xiao, I went looking for you yesterday.”
“What is it, Junior Brother Li? Feel free to speak, as long as I can do it....”
“I coincidentally obtained an item, but I don’t know its specific function. Senior Brother Xiao, you’re famous for °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° your extensive knowledge, so I’d like to ask you to identify it.”
As Li Mo spoke, he reached into his sleeve.
He took out a piece of wood that was neither wood nor stone, and handed it to Xiao Qin.
“I’m afraid I....”
Xiao Qin’s face showed a bitter smile.
Normally, if he didn’t recognize something, he would ask his Master.
But his Master had just spoken a few words to him and then fallen into a deep sleep....
“It’s submerged yin soul nurturing wood!”
An old voice suddenly sounded in his mind, somewhat agitated.
Wasn’t Master in slumber?
Why did he suddenly act as if he had woken up with a start?
But immediately after, he heard Martial Venerable Qianxing’s voice quicken:
“This is a rare treasure for nourishing the Yi Soul. It requires a rare spiritual wood to be struck by lightning, then coincidentally sink into a water vein, where it is nourished for many years, turning into wood-stone, and then stone-jade before it forms.”
“Many powerful cultivators, when there’s no hope of Breakthrough, will use this wood as a coffin to seal their Physical Body and nourish their Yi Soul, only to break out in the next era.”
“This piece of submerged yin soul nurturing wood has already reached the wood-stone stage.”
Xiao Qin understood.
His Master meant that this item was very precious and of great use to him.
He wanted it.
But this was Junior Brother Li’s item....
Xiao Qin took a deep breath and said solemnly:
“Junior Brother, this is submerged yin soul nurturing wood, an item for nourishing the Yi Soul, and it’s extremely precious.”
“You must keep it safe. It will be of great use when you reach the Guan Shen Realm in the future.”
Sigh.
Lao Xiao, if you had just said this thing wasn’t worth anything, wouldn’t I have just casually given it to you?
However, that wouldn’t be him then....
Li Mo could only ask again:
“Since it’s used by the Guan Shen Realm and for nourishing the Yi Soul, why do I see Senior Brother Xiao somewhat moved?”
“To be honest, I do need something similar.”
Xiao Qin awkwardly scratched his head.
His Master was currently cursing him as a Rebellious Disciple in his mind.
Li Mo pondered for a moment:
“Then how about I lend it to you first?”
