Free Web NovelWhen Elder Qian arrived, he was cautious, carrying the Qingyuan Sect's rather meager assets and an unremarkable Inner Scenery Realm of the Fourth Realm.
When he left, he walked with the stride of a Dragon and a Tiger; his height was one meter fifty, but his aura was two meters eighty.
"So, this is the 'boring' feeling Xiao Li spoke of."
As soon as Li Mo came ashore, he saw Elder Qian standing there ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ with his hands clasped behind his back, a hint of loneliness in his silhouette.
Seeing him like this, Li Mo first offered congratulations, then asked, "Elder Qian, you're in a good mood today?"
"How did you know I reached the first heaven of Outer Scenery?"
Qian Bufan had a look of 'astonishment'.
"Uh..." Li Mo was speechless, but he was good at coaxing old men, so he timely revealed his shock: "You broke through last night? Ah! What a pity, I was cultivating in the sea and missed your breakthrough. Otherwise, I surely would have gained many insights. This was too sudden."
"Indeed, the process was quite like treading on thin ice, and full of surprises. Fortunately, with my persistence, I successfully reached the other shore, and my strength has greatly increased."
Elder Qian recalled the process of getting rich, his expression calm.
Perhaps many years later, when facing an interview from the Yantian Sect, Elder Qian would still express it this way.
The turning point of his sudden wealth was because he had been diligent and persistent for the first half of his life... finally waiting for a Junior to become a Dragon and Phoenix among people, and inherit a little bit of his family business... *cough*, but in any case, Qian Bufan was extremely excited now.
"Outer Scenery! I finally feel like an Elder. Now I finally have the qualifications to protect my Junior. Oh, by the way, Xiao Mo, how many feet did you go into the deep sea yesterday?"
The deep sea has immense pressure; the Physical Body endures enormous gravity, and even the Inner Scenery cannot be released.
"Not much, really."
Xiao Li smiled shyly.
"Hmm... The sea is infinitely wondrous, but also extremely dangerous." Qian Bufan nodded, about to impart his experience of going into the sea:
"When you feel unfathomable and out of reach, you must promptly..."
"Just over thirty thousand feet, I guess."
"...?"
Qian Bufan leaned back slightly.
He remembered that below thirty thousand feet, it was considered heavy water.
"I could have gone deeper, but it was getting light, so next time."
Li Mo sighed, his tone a little emotional.
Besides refining his Physical Body, he also took out the guixu catalogue to try and find the existence of Guixu while exploring the seabed.
But unfortunately, the catalogue had no reaction at the bottom of the sea, at least not at thirty thousand feet. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
"By the way, Elder Qian, have you tried exploring the deep sea?"
"Hmm, I have, ha ha ha..."
Qian Bufan's smile was a little unnatural, and his proud, chest-out posture had subtly shifted to leaning back slightly.
Damn it... Is this kid Li Mo even human?
As a dignified Outer Scenery expert, thirty thousand feet was probably his limit. Even if his Outer Scenery could withstand it, his Physical Body would collapse.
Is this just the starting point of Li Mo's perception of pressure?
Plus his towering Inner Scenery... Qian Bufan suddenly realized something.
His reaching the Fifth Realm did not conflict with his inability to protect his Junior; in fact, because he had broken through, he could feel the terrifying and profound Qi in Li Mo's Physical Body even more clearly.
So, did he only gain the qualification to feel how abnormal his Junior was?
"Elder Qian? Elder Qian? Why are you drooling?"
Li Mo noticed that Qian Bufan's eyes were full of wisdom, and a glistening strand of saliva trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"Xiao Mo, although Shang Wu is your Master, respect must always be given."
Qian Bufan's eyes suddenly cleared, and he spoke earnestly: "But you absolutely must not follow her example!"
One Shang Wu was already enough to make children in Human City stop crying.
An enhanced version of Shang Wu?
He dared not imagine!
"Actually, not that much respect..."
Li Mo cleared his throat, changing the subject: "Who can be in their rebellious phase their whole life like Master, right? I'm about to get married and have both sons and daughters. Elder Qian, you really don't trust me enough."
"That's true, that's true... You have Xiao Bing'er."
Qian Bufan smiled kindly, then suddenly paused:
"How do you know it's both sons and daughters? *Hiss*... What Lao Xue told me last time, could it be..."
"To the clouds, to the clouds. Let's talk in the clouds."
"Eh, I always feel like there's something I haven't finished..."
"My sea silk clothes are all made, what else could there be?"
Li Mo summoned the Somersault Cloud and took the two of them flying into the sky.
The Somersault Cloud's speed was not fast; after all, Elder Qian had just broken through and needed to stabilize his Realm. Carrying people also meant he couldn't directly use spatial displacement... In the East Pearl Tower, inside a giant conch-shaped house in the backyard, Lan Tian was having a sweet dream. Yesterday, her sugar daddy told her that he would personally cook for the engagement banquet, and there would be delicious, different dishes every day.
"Steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail..."
"Roast Peking Duck, roast gosling..."
"snow spirit ginseng stew, royal jelly cake... *Gulp*..."
Lan Tian squirmed twice, bit into her pillow, then opened her eyes in a daze.
She wiped her drool, yawned, and a tear slid from the corner of her eye. When it hit the ground with a *plop*, it had already turned into a pearl.
"I'll give sugar daddy's mother a pearl necklace then."
Lan Tian pulled out a small box full of pearls from under the bed, placed the newly fallen one inside, and then walked out the door.
She stretched lazily, appreciating the good weather, and excitedly knocked on Li Mo's room with the box in her arms.
But after knocking for a long time, no one opened the door.
"The boss already left today. Didn't he tell you?"
A passing attendant said.
"Eh?!"
Lan Tian's smiling little face instantly froze, her eyes blank, her whole body as if struck by lightning... "There's news from Li Mo; he has already left Qizhen Sea Market."
Black Wind Mountain, located between the East Sea and the Eastern Wasteland Region, is a notorious no-man's-land, frequently plagued by great bandits and thieves, a chaotic mix of people, and numerous mountain strongholds.
The Lingxi Gate chose this location precisely to avoid attracting attention.
After all, the Qingyuan Sect's promotion and the engagement of Liqun Sword Hero and Han Xianzi were both decreed by the Great Yu Emperor; they dared not act openly.
Of course, merely choosing the right spot was not enough.
Qiao Ziyu pondered: "If we disguise ourselves as horse bandits, we probably still won't escape the Great Yu's investigation..."
"Since we're going to disguise ourselves, let's do it thoroughly."
The Elder in charge contemplated deeply, seemingly very experienced in such matters:
"How about we use the banner of the Demon Summoning Sect?"
"Oh?"
Qiao Ziyu mused for a moment.
It was well known that Li Mo had a grudge against the Demon Summoning Sect.
In Human City, he personally prevented the revival of their Ancestral God, so retaliation from the Demon Summoning Sect would be quite reasonable.
"Good, then that's what we'll do!"
