"Master Daozu, this is the Blood Essence Pill that you desire."
In the quadrangle courtyard, Gu Shan pushed a red elixir pill in front of Chen Mo.
Chen Mo accepted the elixir pill and nodded in satisfaction. Since he had brought back the dragon blood grass, he had found Gu Shan right away to have him brew the Blood Essence Pill. After several days, it finally succeeded.
Since he was at the Shanzhong Sect, he had already completed the Yin and Yang mixed refining stage. If he could take this Blood Essence Pill, he could quickly complete the last stage of refining body and entering the door, Blood Essence Formation; It's also equivalent to the exercise practitioner of opening eight meridians and entering into the nine-level realm of martial artists formally.
"Then thank you, Master Gu."
Chen Mo bowed his hands in respect and worshipped reverently.
"Not at all. Serving Master Daozu is the honor of Gu Shan."
Gu Shan laughed, "I have finished the matter. If there's nothing else, I should head back first."
"I'll accompany you."
Chen Mo sent Gu Shan out of the gate and was then surrounded by a group of people who wanted him to impart knowledge.
Since leaving the Shanzhong Sect, Chen Mo's deeds have spread widely, and his name as Master Daozu has become known to an increasing number of people.
It has been ten days since returning from Lincheng City. During these ten days, people who came to ask questions have come and gone continuously every day. Although he was not particularly willing to do so, he couldn't refuse seeing the enthusiasm of the others, so he agreed to spend two hours every morning answering questions.
The two hours passed quickly, and Chen Mo had spoken until his throat was dry. He stood up and addressed the crowd, "I will be secluded for a while from now. Thank you for your kindness, I want to say goodbye to everyone here in case I waste your time."
Even after the leap, he still has to work, and even taking a break requires permission... Chen Mo couldn't help but grumble in his heart.
Upon hearing this, the crowd realized that they had disturbed Chen Mo for too long. After taking down his words, they bid farewell and left.
Chen Mo turned around and walked back to his own room, swallowing the Blood Essence Pill that Gu Shan had brought.
The elixir pill fell into Chen Mo's stomach, transforming into a tiny bit of energy that rolled around in his Dan Tian area. After a short while, he could feel heat emanating from his Dan Tian area, and strands of warm air flowed through all four limbs and the eight meridians, as if warm currents were flowing throughout his body.
Overjoyed, Chen Mo quickly activated his Dan Tian, allowing the stored Qi and blood, which was like flour, to continuously condense into a ball. In a subtle way, the Qi and blood within his body seemed like flour mixed with water, being continuously kneaded into shape.
The formation of Qi and blood is the sign of successful refining body, and Chen Mo dare not be the slightest bit lax at this moment; The Qi and blood have not yet formed, and as long as he slacks off a bit, all his efforts in the past month will be in vain.
Fortunately, the effects of the Blood Essence Pill have started to take effect, and as long as Chen Mo proceeds steadily, he need not worry about his Qi and blood being out of control and turning against his body.
Time flew by in a flash for three days, and the scattered Qi and blood finally condensed into shape and became something that Chen Mo could control.
"Blood Essence Formation...Refining Body Achieved"
Chen Mo opened his eyes, feeling the sunlight streaming into the room, and an unconscious smile of joy appeared on his face. Now, he possessed the strength of a nine-grade martial artist.
Feeling a bit hungry, Chen Mo quickly left the room. He had originally intended to ask Fubo to prepare some breakfast, but encountered Su Yumo bringing breakfast out instead.
Since returning from Lincheng, Chen Mo had noticed a slight change in Su Yumo's face. With the return of Fubo over the past ten days, her face had become much more attractive. The original scars and burns were gone, with the scarred traces completely disappearing and some of the burn marks reduced.
Although there were still many flaws, she was already a woman of considerable beauty. This was just Su Yumo with burn scars, and one dared not imagine how beautiful she would be if the scars were completely healed.
"Master, you have been in your room for so long, you must be hungry too. I prepared this breakfast for you."
Su Yumo brought in the breakfast for Chen Mo, gently offering to feed him. Chen Mo hastily declined, "There's no need. I'm not very used to being fed by others."
"Master, is it that you're ashamed of Yumo's appearance?"
Su Yumo cooed, "Master, look at me with those big eyes so pitifully."
"Haha, Miss Su is jesting. Although there are still scars on your face, your beauty is undeniable. You should not underestimate yourself."
Upon hearing this, Su Yumo secretly smiled with delight. At her current appearance, she could already make Chen Mo feel she was beautiful. She couldn't wait to see his expression when she was completely healed.
When she was young, she was already famous in one area and even made the Prince of Ning fall in love with her at first sight. Even with all kinds of methods, she obtained her heart. She believed that with her appearance, she could definitely make Chen Mo fall for her.
Just thinking about Chen Mo's shocked and dazed expression when he sees her real appearance, and the way he falls in love with her, Su Yumo's lips couldn't help but curl up.
If Master were to pursue me, should I accept it, or accept it gracefully...
"Chen Mo"
A bright voice echoed from the courtyard, breaking Su Yumo's fantasy. Chen Mo, who was halfway through his meal, quickly stepped out when he heard this familiar voice. He saw exactly a figure in white clothing, holding a longsword, known as Long Xiaotian.
"Long Xiaotian, it's been a long time since I've seen you. How did you come here? How's the battle situation ahead?"
Chen Mo made a 'please' gesture, inviting Long Xiaotian to sit down and talk. The latter nodded slightly and sat down on a stone stool.
"Thanks to you, everything is fine. The Three Kings and the Red Flame Door are not to be feared. The Zhenwu Commandory intervened and brought the situation under control within ten days. Then, with the help of the Shanzhong Sect and the Kuangsha Sect, the military situation of the Empire is now much better. I've also managed to take a break from the battlefield... Oh, here is a treasure sword given by His Majesty as a gift to you. He specially bestowed it upon you for your contribution to the Empire."
Saying this, Long Xiaotian placed the longsword on the stone table, proudly tilting his head back. It was a sword of the Prince of Ning that he had specially captured on the battlefield. In the capital, it could be sold for a sky-high price.
However, as soon as she was full of self-satisfaction, she saw that after slightly examining it for a moment, Chen Mo's face darkened, "Does the emperor think he can send me away with this?"
Upon hearing this, Long Xiaotian's expression suddenly turned solemn as his mouth, which had been smiling, dropped. "That is an elixir sword, not a common weapon. Such a treasure sword is not cheap."
"However, the emperor cannot use this to send me away either."
Chen Mo shook his head and said in a serious manner, "You told the emperor that once this matter is accomplished, she owes me a favor."
Only then did Long Xiaotian seem to understand, nodding slightly and saying, "Ah, that's right. But how do you want the emperor to repay your favor?"
"Not yet decided."
Chen Mo shook his head and smiled playfully at Long Xiaotian, "Well, indirectly I've helped you a great deal. How do you plan to thank me? After all, without me, you wouldn't have had the opportunity to showcase yourself before the emperor."
Do I need to show off in front of you... Long Xiaotian muttered to himself under his breath, then said seriously, "So, how do you want me to repay you?"
Chen Mo slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and with his hands, he reached for Long Xiaotian's front, "Do you remember the thing I mentioned to you last time?"
