Since it was a life and death battle, how could Chen Mo go into battle blindly and confidently without making some back-up arrangements?
He had already said hello to Shen Mingyue. As long as he crushed the jade pendant and asked for help, she would rush over to help. Not to mention Feng Yulin's demonization, it was him who hid his cultivation in the early stage of foundation building, and Chen Mo arranged a killing trap. If you don't, you will have to die on the spot.
Chen Mo didn't want to use her unless he had to. Flowers in a greenhouse will never grow tall. What's more, he will enter the forgotten land of death and no life in two years. What if he doesn't have some practical experience in fighting? OK?
Chen Mo glanced at the three corpses lying on the ground and said:
"He looks like a young master from a wealthy family. The other two have calluses on their palms and the marks left by holding the sword for a long time. They should be the bodyguards who protect him personally. This man has some status in the secular world. The disciple still has jurisdiction over this area. Please say hello to the monks in the area to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
Shen Mingyue stood up and said calmly: "It's up to you, but this elder warns you that this is the last time. We have agreed to go out to discuss Bigu Pills. You first let me pretend to be someone else and leave the sect, and then in the middle You changed your mind again and asked me to be your thug? What a bit of nonsense!"
Chen Mo smiled slightly and said: "The elder's words are wrong. This disciple is doing this entirely for your consideration. How about I explain it to you in detail later?"
The two left the deserted teahouse on the outskirts, and while they were flying in the air on the flying talisman, Elder Shen continued to ask: "Tell me, I will see how you explain it."
"The two foundation-building killers hired by the disciple from the Tianding Chamber of Commerce will soon arrive in the prefectures and counties ahead. In order to invite them to take action, the disciple spent a total of 120,000 spirit stones and used you as bait to lure Elder Li. !”
Chen Mo's words were shocking, and Shen Mingyue was startled: "What did you say?!"
"Elder Li should also leave the sect at this time..."
Chen Mo estimated the time and said: "The reason why he has repeatedly targeted you, elder, has been found by my disciples. Elder, you had inherited the alchemy attainments of an expert in the early years, and he wanted to take it as his own, so he took action. I want to take you as my concubine."
Ignoring Shen Mingyue's shocked look, Chen Mo continued: "Elder, don't ask how the disciple knows, just understand that in half an hour, Elder Li will say goodbye to you forever!"
"You are so bold! You hired outside monks and conspired to kill the elders of Fuyun Sect. If the sect finds out, you and I will be in great misfortune!!"
Shen Mingyue was obviously afraid of Fuyun Sect's punishment, so she yelled at Chen Mo loudly.
"Rules are for the powerless!" Chen Mo retaliates mercilessly: "Elder Shen! You and I are like grasshoppers on a rope now. Is it necessary for my disciples to harm you? Tianding Chamber of Commerce is a cultivator. It is a well-known organization in the world, and hired killers will never leak information about their employer. There is no need to worry about our identities. As for Elder Li being killed outside, does it have anything to do with us?"
"The disciple has arranged for his confidant to go to Baicao Garden disguised as you. Even if he is really questioned by the Law Enforcement Hall, he can still get away with it! If the disciple dares to act like this, he must have the confidence to do so. As long as you Just follow the execution and that’s it!”
Shen Mingyue's body trembled with anger, she pointed at his nose and shouted: "How dare a mere Qi refining monk plot against Elder Establishment! You...you are too brash and wanton! Believe it or not, I will slap you to death with one palm of my hand." !”
Chen Mo nodded and said: "Of course I believe that the elder has this ability, but the price of doing this is definitely not something you can bear, elder!"
"Let's not talk about killing me and losing Bigu Dan's great business. Just how to face the sect's inquiries afterwards, you can't answer this question. Let's tell the truth. As long as the disciple does not return within three days, Sect, Elder Shen’s murder of Chen will naturally be spread throughout Fuyun Sect. It is not easy to practice to the middle stage of foundation building. How can it be worth this humble life of a disciple, Elder Shen said so?”
The reason why Shen Mingyue did not agree to kill Elder Li was because as long as she nodded, Chen Mo would have the leverage to blackmail her. The two of them were completely tied together, which was completely different from the current interest relationship.
Seeing that Shen Mingyue was silent, Chen Mo struck again while the iron was hot and said: "Sure up, Elder Shen! Isn't the current situation clear enough? Either we kill him in one go, or he captures you and searches for your soul to get the alchemy inheritance. Second choice Is it so difficult?"
"Hurry up! If you hesitate a little longer, wait for Elder Li to catch up. If you fight him one by one, you won't be able to let him escape." Chen Mo looked back and urged Shen Mingyue to make a decision quickly.
"kill!!"
Shen Mingyue slapped Chen Mo angrily and said loudly and loudly, "Are you satisfied this time!!"
This was a helpless compromise to Chen Mo's plan, and it also marked that from this moment on, the two people's lives were completely tied together.
"The disciple's escape speed is too slow. The elder takes me away. After this, I have to meet the great monk from the nearby trading market. There are many messy things. Let's solve them all at once!"
Without saying a word, Shen Mingyue grabbed Chen Mo directly, raised a purple flying sword, and instantly turned into a rainbow and disappeared into the sky.
...
Cultivation is timeless. In the blink of an eye, two years pass by in an instant.
In the past two years, many things have happened in Fuyun Sect. Just half a month after Shen Mingyue and Chen Mo came back, the disappearance of Feng Yulin and other six disciples was reported back to the sect. Since it was outside, it was difficult to investigate. It was quite big, so after some symbolic inquiries, the matter was settled.
Chen Mo was the most hated monk by Feng Yulin and others. For this reason, he was called by the Law Enforcement Hall for questioning. However, he pretended to be stupid and did not leave any clues to be suspected. Later, the matter was finally It was defined as a sneak attack by the devil, so I won't mention it anymore.
In contrast, Elder Li from Miaodan Peak disappeared in the outside world. As soon as this incident came out, it caused quite a stir. The foundation-building elder of the sect was related to the face of Fuyun Sect. If it ended hastily, I don’t know what would happen. It didn't matter how the other two factions viewed them, so all the elite disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall were dispatched to search along the sect. They wanted to see the person alive and the body dead, and they would never give up.
The search process lasted two months. I don't know the origin of the person who did it. The law enforcement hall could not find even the slightest trace. The disciples on duty only knew that Elder Li was eager to leave the sect, raised his flying sword and left. As for why they went out and who they met, they had no idea.
Chen Mo knew why. He deliberately asked Elder Shen to pretend to be someone else, but Elder Li discovered it and then secretly fished him out. It's a pity that he won't publicize this matter everywhere.
In desperation, the sect had no choice but to go to Elder Li's cave to retrieve some belongings, and found an unidentifiable corpse in the wild. Traces of demonic monks were found nearby, and they finally concluded that it was the Tianyin Sect. It was strongly condemned in various cities and towns in the world of cultivation.
For a time, there was a surge of indignation within the Fuyun Sect, and the momentum to resist the demonic monks grew stronger and stronger.
It has to be said that Zhang Siyuan, as the head of a pavilion, has a good eye for both connections and strategies. During this period, the sect investigated Bigu Pill four times, but he stopped them without any danger. This allowed Chen Mo to practice steadily and spend two years of hard work.
Chen Mo was refining the spiritual materials for the Bigu Pill. Since the first accident, he had only grown conventional medicinal herbs in the Baicao Garden. All other spiritual materials had to be purchased outside the sect.
In order to avoid being investigated by interested people, he would change his identity every time to make a purchase, and he would also enter the shops intermittently, leaving no room for others to investigate. After returning to the sect and refining it, when the news was tight, he would take it to the outside trading workshop. Go to the market to sell, and when the weather is calm, return to the sect for internal digestion.
In addition to the contribution income from Baicao Garden, Chen Mo has accumulated a large amount of spiritual stones and contributions in the past two years, but most of them have been used in the sect's Ice and Fire Cave.
With the gradual improvement of his cultivation, Chen Mo has been able to penetrate into the first few rooms of Tianzi in the One Hundred and Eight Cave of Ice and Fire. Those who can reach this level are all famous figures on the Qianxun List.
But due to Chen Mo's low-key personality and the special nature of Yin spirit power, no one really noticed him. Except for some core disciples who often come to Ice Fire Cave and only vaguely know that there is a monk named Chen who frequently comes and goes, they don't know the specific cultivation level.
It is not that there are no jealous people. The monks guarding this place were curious about why Chen Mo came here to practice every day. After careful investigation, they found out that he had some kind of relationship with Elder Shen on Miaodan Peak.
Speaking of Shen Mingyue, no one knew about it a long time ago. Until more than a year ago, for some unknown reason, this woman's knowledge of elixirs improved by leaps and bounds, and the quality of the elixirs she refined were all of the highest quality. Among low-level monks, Thanks to word of mouth, Elder Shen's reputation spread throughout the sect.
The pills in the foundation-building stage are refined every three days, and the pills in the Qi-refining stage are refined once a day. In order to compete for her qualifications to help refine the pills, countless monks fought hard to get a spot. The popularity made the other alchemy elders on Miaodan Peak envious.
Of course, in addition to Shen Mingyue's intentional assassination without the surname Li, Chen Mo also contributed to secretly fueling the situation.
At this moment, in the fourth cave of Tianzi, the stone door was tightly closed. Chen Mo was sitting cross-legged. Between the alternating cold and hot air, his body showed a strange lavender color.
As the color gradually deepened, Chen Mo's hands and feet lost consciousness, and the speed of his spiritual veins gradually stopped. If he could look inside at this moment, he could clearly find that the spiritual power flowing in his body had reached the point where it could stick together.
Below the tenth level of Qi refining, most of the spiritual veins flowing in the body are gaseous spiritual energy. Although it is also called spiritual power, its quality is extremely poor, so the spells cast have their own shape and no meaning.
Only at the eleventh level to the fourteenth level of Qi refining can liquid spiritual power be condensed. The spells cast by monks at this stage are extremely powerful. Fighting is usually a combination of spells and magic weapons, and their own coordination is used to defeat the enemy. .
At the fifteenth level of Qi Refining, the spiritual veins have solidified and transformed, and every move has the demeanor of a great monk. Whether it is the depth of spiritual power or the power of spell blessings, it has far exceeded the monks at the fourteenth level of Qi Refining. .
What Chen Mo lacks now is the last step before his spiritual veins solidify and take form.
The cold and hot air slowly faded away, and Chen Mo regained consciousness. As his mind moved, he patted the storage bag with his left hand, and he took out the Fate-Resisting Pill that he had treasured for many years.
This was the elixir that he obtained by pretending to be the young master of the Chen family in Qinfeng County more than ten years ago. Due to his insufficient cultivation, he never took it.
In addition, he also had a fate-defying pill that he got at the casual cultivator conference. It was originally prepared for Chu Wushuang, but what happened later was beyond Chen Mo's expectation, so it was delayed.
Speaking of which, he still owes the old man in Qinfeng County who taught him martial arts a life-defying pill. If he can survive this adventure in the Forgotten Land by chance, he will have to take the time to give him the pill he gave when he was refining Qi at the first level. The oath was fulfilled.
The anti-fate pill is the foundation.
Chen Mo's mind kept echoing what the old man Li Qing said to him: Only by taking the Fate-defying Pill to lay down the Taoist platform can it be possible to build a foundation.
"In the past half month, I have always failed at the stage when my spiritual power is integrated into my Dantian. If I think about it, it should be because I lack the Fate-defying Pill as the foundation..."
"Let's give it a try."
Chen Mo originally thought that the fate-defying pill required the ninth level of yin spiritual energy to refine the Qi before he could take it, but now it seemed that was not the case. As the milky white pill entered his throat, a stream of pure spiritual energy poured into his abdomen instantly. Chen Mo closed his eyes and concentrated. When he observed his body, he found that this pure white spiritual energy was mixed with his thick spiritual power, and entered his Dantian through the Great Circular Movement.
"Shua!!"
With the addition of these pure white spiritual powers, the originally viscous spiritual power is no longer sourceless water, violently washing away the white stone slabs that have been formed in the Dantian. On top of this, the black stone floats silently. .
A surprising scene appeared.
The spiritual power that would have flowed into the spiritual veins again seemed to be stuck, inseparable from the white stone slab. With the rising mist it emitted, the sticky gray spiritual power quietly blended in, making Chen Mo The white stone slab in Dantian has expanded three times!
Immediately afterwards, the white stone slab began to shrink and solidify, eventually forming a smooth stone platform about two inches square. The black stone was originally washed to the side, but somehow spun up and floated back to the stone platform.
At this moment, Chen Mo's aura suddenly changed, and his cultivation at the ninth level of Qi Refining in Yin Spirit Energy was undoubtedly revealed. Compared to the monks at the fifteenth level of Qi Refining in the sect, the quality of his spiritual power was several times higher. point!
"I entered the immortal path at the age of seven, and now, twenty-three years ago, I have finally reached the peak of the realm of Qi refining..."
This kind of cultivation speed is not very fast, and can only be regarded as above average among the elite disciples of Fuyun Sect, but Chen Mo is already very satisfied.
"Next, we have to prepare to explore the Forgotten Land. There are not only monks from Fuyun Sect, but also talented disciples from several sects who will step into it to compete for opportunities. If you want to come out alive, you must first prepare enough magic weapons and elixirs. ..."
With a thought in Chen Mo's mind, his cultivation at the ninth level of Qi Refining was instantly hidden, and only the fluctuations in his cultivation at the seventh level of Qi Refining were revealed. He has been like this for a while. He suddenly broke through to such a high level without raising suspicion. Weird.
The hot breath blew outside the door. Before entering the Ice and Fire Cave, Chen Mo had to defend himself for a while, but now he didn't need to be careful at all. He left the Ice and Fire Cave easily and Chen Mo jumped out.
The guarding monk went somewhere unknown. There were two core disciples in purple robes chatting outside the cave. A man and a woman saw Chen Mo appear and suddenly came up to meet him. The young man looked at him carefully and asked first: "You Is it Chen Mo?"
