Ah, this.
Seeing Li Mo's casual expression, Xiao Qin thought he didn't know the value of this item.
“Li Shidi, this item is useful for the Guan Shen Realm and even higher Realms; it’s an extremely precious treasure!”
Martial Venerable Qianxing: “.....”
If this thing were given to him, his Yi Soul would be enough to recover thirty percent of its Peak state.
But his Disciple was too upright.
Alas, it’s also a good thing... If Xiao Qin truly had a problem with his character, he ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) wouldn't have regarded him as his successor.
Li Mo smiled helplessly.
In this day and age, one has to rack their brains to give others benefits.
Is giving gifts an art?
“Then, is this thing useless to me in the short term?”
“Indeed it is...”
Xiao Qin's expression froze, and he nodded.
Li Mo then said:
“Do you want it?”
“Naturally...” freewebnoveℓ.com
Xiao Qin nodded blankly.
“Then, for me, the only value of this item currently is to help a friend, isn't it?”
“That’s not wrong to say.”
Xiao Qin thought for a moment and felt that what Li Mo said made so much sense that he couldn't refute it.
Li Mo continued to patiently coax him:
“Then, are we very good friends?”
“Naturally!”
Xiao Qin immediately said with a serious expression.
“Then there’s no problem, is there? Take it.”
Li Mo, all smiles, patted the submerged yin soul nurturing wood into his hand.
Xiao Qin opened his mouth.
Is... is that how it is?
He always felt something was off, but he couldn't pinpoint what the problem was.
Martial Venerable Qianxing also felt incredibly strange at this moment.
He was old and cunning, so he naturally saw that his Disciple had been led astray by this kid named Li.
But having lived two lifetimes, it was the first time he had seen someone lead another astray for the purpose of giving them benefits.
To call it trickery, yet the person was strangely good.
It was just absurd.
“Alright, Senior Brother Xiao will also achieve great things in the future. By then, what will such a thing count as precious?”
“I’m going to hand in the mission first.”
With that, Li Mo said no more.
As if afraid Xiao Qin would return the item to him, he turned and left.
“No wonder the entire Sect says that Li Shidi is of noble character and possesses the demeanor of ancient sages.”
“Compared to him, what kind of upright person am I?”
Xiao Qin watched that dashing figure leave, a mix of emotions swirling in his heart. He already felt indebted to Senior Brother Li, and now he owed even more.
But since Li Shidi had put it that way, he truly couldn't refuse any longer.
Besides, Master indeed urgently needed this item.
“Hmph, it’s a good thing you still thought of this old man.”
In his mind.
Martial Venerable Qianxing snorted.
“Master, Disciple didn’t mean anything else...”
Xiao Qin was a bit awkward.
“Alright, this old man knows your character.”
“If not for that, I wouldn't dare entrust my life and death to you.”
Martial Venerable Qianxing wasn't truly angry.
Instead, he continued:
“That kid Li is indeed someone worth befriending, and... he himself is also extraordinary.”
“You should work harder and see if you can catch up to his footsteps.”
Xiao Qin was about to nod but couldn't help but be stunned.
Catch up to Li Shidi’s footsteps?
He had broken and then rebuilt, scattering his cultivation and re-cultivating, and had only now reached the Perfection of the Qi Blood Realm's twelve Meridians.
Li Shidi couldn't possibly have condensed Inner Breath, could he?
Seeing what his foolish Disciple was thinking, Martial Venerable Qianxing said:
“It’s even more astonishing than you imagine.”
“Although he hasn't condensed Inner Breath, the path he has walked in the Qi Blood Realm is much longer than yours. This old man doesn't know the exact number of Meridians, but it’s definitely far more than twelve Meridians.”
Martial Venerable Qianxing, after all, was once a titan.
Now only his Yi Soul remained, and his perception was far beyond what ordinary people could compare to.
“More than twelve Meridians?”
Xiao Qin was touched by a blind spot in his knowledge and was somewhat incredulous.
“As far as the Martial Dao is concerned, you, young man, are still a frog in a well.”
“Heaven and earth create, and each person indeed only has twelve main Meridians.”
“But some people are born to seize the creation of heaven and earth, their Foundation far exceeding ordinary people. This old man once possessed fifteen main Meridians, far surpassing others in the same Realm.”
Martial Venerable Qianxing's faint voice carried a hint of arrogance.
As soon as his voice fell.
In the Outer Affairs Hall, the voice of the Inner Sect Executive just now came:
“Verification complete.”
“True Disciple Li Mo, for pursuing and killing one Inner Breath Condensation Realm criminal, awarded five thousand contribution points!”
Inner Breath Condensation Realm!
Xiao Qin's spirit jolted, and his eyes widened.
He was still feeling a little secretly pleased about his impending Breakthrough to the Inner Breath Realm, but Li Shidi was already able to kill a Qi Condensation Realm criminal?
Terrifying!
“Hmm, as expected, he’s probably comparable to this old man back in the day.”
“That being said, Ying Bing is even more exaggerated. No wonder she’s still in the Qi Blood Realm.”
Martial Venerable Qianxing said very solemnly.
“Then how can I catch up to Li Shidi?”
Xiao Qin suddenly felt a bit powerless.
He had a Master to guide him, yet he was still so far behind.
Wouldn't he be left further and further behind in the future?
“Heh heh heh... Innate talent is important, but before the outcome is decided, who says one can't come from behind?”
Martial Venerable Qianxing wanted to put pressure on his Disciple, not make him lose his drive.
So he spoke as if he knew the future:
“What this old man is proud of isn't those fifteen main Meridians, but the Thousand Forms Art!”
“Once you reach the Guan Shen Realm, you will naturally understand its profoundness.”
“Mm!”
Xiao Qin clenched his fists, his fighting spirit reignited.
If he couldn't even catch up to Li Shidi's back in the future, how could he repay him?
.....
Inside the Outer Affairs Hall.
“Qi Blood slaying Inner Breath? Is this what it means to be a True Disciple?”
“Hmph hmph, don't assume Li Shidi is just a good-natured person because he’s nice, alright?”
“Why is Senior Brother Li so strong?”
“Have you forgotten? His Master is Elder Shang Wu.”
“Then I understand.”
.....
After greeting a few familiar Disciples.
Xiao Li was quite happy.
It wasn't because of the five thousand contribution points that had just arrived, but because the System had given him a prompt.
【Congratulations, Host, for successfully investing one submerged yin soul nurturing wood in ‘Xiao Qin’.】
【Investment Feedback: One Mystic Weapon Embryo.】
【Mystic Weapon Embryo】: “Can generate a similar top-grade Mystic Weapon based on the weapon template provided by the Host.”
Although Xiao Li was reluctant to admit it, he had to.
He currently lacked a handy hammer.
With his current Realm, he couldn't even pick up a Divine Weapon, let alone use it.
Even if his physique was strong enough to use it with the world's power, it could only be a trump card.
With this Mystic Weapon Embryo, he would be able to create a ‘replica’ using the Panjie Meteor Hammer as a template.
“Li Zhenchuan, do you need to exchange anything?”
The Inner Sect Executive saw him standing there and thought he was considering what to exchange for.
“Yes, I do.”
“I need some exotic beast meat.”
Li Mo came back to his senses and nodded.
“Oh?”
The Inner Sect Executive was a bit surprised, but then immediately said:
“Although exotic beast meat doesn't have as good an effect as Medicinal Pills, it’s more solid and doesn't have the excess Medicinal Pill toxicity. It seems Li Zhenchuan is thinking long-term.”
“Do you need it for condensing Qi Blood, enhancing physique, or for Breakthrough?”
“I want the delicious kind.”
“?”
