For several days, Chen Mo stayed in Kuoshan Zong and said goodbye to Fu Bai. He planned to go to the Imperial Capital. Just as he was about to leave the sect, Fu Bai urgently took out a heap of things, including all kinds of beast crystals and precious materials that could be useful to Chen Mo. None of them were missing.
Worried about Chen Mo's accident on the road, he specially commanded someone to make talismans containing his spirit power. If there was danger, they could use the talismans to turn it into safety.
The practicality of these talismans was even envious to Li Wang, and the key point was that Fu Bai produced ten talismans at a time, making the entire Kuoshan Zong covetous.
The talismans were stuffed into a carriage to the full, almost lifting the entire Kuoshan Zong. Chen Mo was helpless, he couldn't refuse to take them, but they couldn't be stored; Kuoshan Zong didn't lack items like space rings, but such items required spiritual energy to activate. Chen Mo was just a mere physical cultivator who used qi and blood, so he couldn't use space rings.
At this moment, Chen Mo couldn't help but complain about the wizards, why don't they make a space ring that can be used by physical cultivators or even scholars.
After some discussion, Chen Mo finally asked Fu Bai for a space ring, asking him to put everything inside. He himself couldn't summon the contents out, but he could call others. The fragile roles of Sun Qian and Su Kekke were highlighted at this moment.
Farewell to Fu Bao and the other Kuoshan Zong elders, Chen Mo sat on a beast carriage bound for the Imperial Capital.
"You've made quite a few gains on this trip, Chen brother. You see, we've accompanied you all the way, haven't we? This time to the Imperial Capital, who knows what dangers might arise. We'll accompany you as well. What if something happens to us? What then?"
Sun Qian let out a heh-heh laugh, shifting his buttocks to lean beside Chen Mo, smiling like a chrysanthemum. His eyes stared intently at the space ring on the latter's finger, filled with longing.
Su Kekke didn't speak, but her eyes never left Chen Mo's hand.
Chen Mo chuckled lightly, "I say, you two guys, are you lusting after my treasure… You two are in cahoots. If you team up against me, I'm afraid I'm not a match for you. I can't do it. I have to go back and call someone…"
"Don't, don't, don't."
Sun Qian became anxious upon hearing this, "We have no such intentions. It's just that with Chen brother's status, we dare not mess around with you. It's just…"
"You want the life-saving amulet, right?"
Chen Mo smiled slightly, not at all polite, and directly took off the ring, handing it to Sun Qian. "Fu Bai gave me ten talismans in total. Each of you take two to keep for emergencies, and the rest are in my hands."
"Thank you, Chen brother."
Sun Qian took out four talismans from the space ring, keeping two for himself and giving the other two to Su Kekke. Beasts' crystal cores and heavenly treasures were optional for them, but talismans were different; they were lifesaving items.
They had been through thick and thin with Chen Mo on this journey. If they were not careful, their lives could truly be in danger. With talismans for protection, they felt a bit more at ease in their hearts.
"Sun Qian, I'm not saying this to you, but as a symbolist, you have to take someone else's symbol. Isn't it humiliating? Can't you make your own?"
Chen Mo reclaimed the space ring and put it on, speaking in a calm tone.
Sun Qian placed the two talismans into his chest, tightly covering them as if they were his precious heart and liver. Upon hearing Chen Mo's words, he immediately objected: "I am just an eight-grade symbolist, my abilities are limited. Moreover, I can only use the fire talismans you taught me for attack… If I were to encounter a skilled opponent, I would only be asking for death."
Sun Qian was merely an eight-grade symbolist, and his abilities were limited. He was just a supporting role and, although he learned offensive talismans through Chen Mo, he could only handle opponents of the same level. Against enemies above the eighth grade, it would be much more difficult.
Su Kekke was also just a fragile support character, without any ability to resist in dangerous situations, so they were envious of the talismans in Chen Mo's hand.
They are real lifesavers.
"Since you two are going to follow me, I won't hide anything from you anymore. I'll tell you about the matters I know regarding physicians and symbolists... As long as you grasp the essence of it, I believe, you will surely rise to greatness..."
Chen Mo originally wanted to practice during the journey to the Imperial Capital, but he lost interest at this moment. He opened the Chen Teacher's Little Classroom for the two fragile characters, and for a while, they listened attentively and benefited greatly.
Unconsciously, two days had passed. The Chen Teacher's Little Classroom had also reached its end. In order to let the two of them make faster progress, he also presented some heavenly treasures to them.
The essence remains unchanged through changes. Physicians and symbolists have differentiated from wizards and sorcerers. The enhancement of power is closely related to spiritual power, and there are also treasures in the heavens that can enhance spiritual power. If they can absorb these, it will help them break through to the seventh grade.
"Chen brother, do we not go into the city?"
Seeing the beast carriage cross the city gates of the Imperial Capital and then turn to head out of the city, Sun Qian couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
Chen Mo looked in the familiar direction, and at the increasingly close courtyard, a smile that had been absent for a long time appeared on his face. "Let's not go into the city first. Let's go home, to... my home."
Three hundred years ago, Yeliang Chen destroyed the four-courtyard house with a single sword, turning it into ruins. This was a place filled with their family's memories. After Chen Mo's death, the others raised money to repair the house and restore it to its original appearance.
Three hundred years have passed, and the four-courtyard house still stands as it was at the beginning, located in the wilds outside the city. Despite its age, it looks somewhat worn out but not dilapidated due to the annual maintenance by dedicated people.
After getting off the carriage, Chen Mo pushed open the familiar gate and looked at the four courtyard house, which was kept in perfect order. For a moment, he was filled with a lot of feelings.
For him, it was just a nap, going out for a circle, and returning. But for others, it had already been three hundred years. The old friends were no longer there, and it felt a bit melancholic.
On his return to the old place, Chen Mo sat down on the stone bench in the center of the yard and lightly estimated the stone table left with traces of time. At this moment, "Creak" came, and several figures emerged from a side room.
Leading the group was a woman dressed in a dark red long dress. Her jet-black hair fell like a waterfall, and under her dark eyebrows were captivating fox eyes. A light veil covered her face, making it impossible to see her features clearly.
Behind the red-dress woman, there were two people in black clothes, carrying long knives at their waist. One had long hair tied up high, giving a gallant and majestic appearance.
The other was a short hair as short as Su Kekke's, but compared to the latter, she lacked some innocent cuteness and added some decisiveness; this temperament was far beyond the fragile nursemaid.
The red-dress woman collided with the returning Chen Mo the moment she stepped out, and the moment their eyes met, the atmosphere became somewhat eerie.
Chen Mo did not recognize the red-dress woman, and the latter did not recognize him either. They just stared at each other for a moment before the short-haired woman exclaimed, "It's him, the person we're looking for."
