It was late at night when Chen Mo and others returned, and Fuyun Sect had not publicized it beforehand, so it seemed normal that no one came to greet them.
After everyone said goodbye to each other, they dispersed. With the guidance of the moonlight, Chen Mo also hurried back to his cave abode with ease.
The moist air gradually came in, and a group of tiny ants hurriedly burrowed underground and returned to their nest.
Not far away, on a thick tree branch, several birds rested in the nests they usually built to resist the cold current at night.
Everything was as usual in the cave, except that there was a lot of dust accumulated due to no one cleaning it. Chen Mo didn't want to get into a big fight, so he just cleaned up the area around the bed, then lay down on it with his head heavy, not thinking about anything for the time being, and soon fell asleep.
He slept very soundly this time, as if he had never felt so at ease in the past few years. When Chen Mo woke up again, more than three days had passed since everyone returned.
"Well......."
Chen Mo shook his head and slowly sat up from the bed. He walked to the table, waved his sleeves and used the wind spirit technique at will. The table was suddenly as clean as new.
For the dead, eternal sleep is the best destination, but now that he is still alive, he naturally has to deal with the responsibilities that living people should bear.
Chen Mo took out a pen and paper and figured out what he was going to do next:
"First of all, I should turn in the 30,000 low-grade spiritual stones in the Moon Covering Bag, but I don't have any extra spiritual stones, so I can only go to the medicine garden to misappropriate some money..."
Chen Mo's eyes were thoughtful: "Just in time, I also checked around to see what the Baicao Garden looks like without me."
"If there are not enough spiritual stones in the medicine garden, then we can only ask Elder Shen to get some spiritual stones to pay off the bill..."
"After paying off the spiritual stones, go to Lin Yuqin to get back my batch of spiritual medicines and return what is needed in the account."
"I vaguely remember that there are still a lot of white jade bamboos. I will find a good field to plant them and use them as my natal flying sword after building the foundation... Well, this matter is not urgent and can be postponed."
"There is also the matter of foundation building. My thousand-year-old chalcedony was destroyed by Meng Qianqiu. There are only two foundation-building spiritual materials left that are too different. Can they be refined together..." Chen Mo frowned. Wrinkled.
Regarding this point, he still needs to go to the sect's classics pavilion to check it, so it is not easy to draw conclusions now.
"The most important thing is to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill!"
Due to the special nature of the redbud fruit, he didn't want a third person to know that he had such an unnatural thing. Even if he trusted Shen Mingyue, he could never use her hands to refine it.
Only by mastering the method of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, refining it yourself is the most reliable.
"After everything is in order, we should make a special trip to learn some experience from Elder Shen."
Chen Mo thought silently in his heart, and after sorting out all his thoughts, he slowly walked out of the cave.
"Boss!!"
As soon as Chen Mo came out of the cave, he saw Cheng An standing respectfully in front of the door. When he saw Chen Mo, he shouted without thinking. In addition, he also put on extremely festive clothes, as if to welcome Chen Mo's safe return. generally.
"Uh...Boss! You...what are you?"
After Cheng An shouted, he realized something was wrong. Chen Mo's figure had shrunk several times compared to before, and he was no different than a skinny man. If he hadn't just walked out of the cave, Cheng An would have thought he had recognized the wrong person!
"Oh? It's you..."
Chen Mo glanced at his cultivation. It seemed that Cheng An had listened to his words and had not been idle in the past few months. After this, he was interested and asked:
"Didn't I ask you to help Elder Shen saddle up the horse and back? How come you still have time to run around?"
"What are you talking about, boss!" Cheng An immediately said with a smile on his face: "I know that you are a good person, and you will not die if anyone dies!"
Before Chen Mo went to the secret realm, he didn't know what he was called. Now that he was in a different state of mind, he felt uncomfortable. As he walked forward, he said to Cheng An who was following him:
"Don't call me boss from now on. It's like a gangster leader in the secular world. Let's call him by the sect."
Cheng An's head was shaken, but he quickly said yes. Chen Mo asked some more about the recent affairs of the sect. When he learned that everything was the same as before, Chen Mo brought the topic to the management and development of Baicao Garden.
"Old... oh no, Senior Brother Chen, this is going to be difficult for me. I haven't been to Baicao Garden in recent days. I don't know what they have done. Why don't I call Qi Zhao and Tian Fang over? , will you come and ask them in person?”
Chen Mo waved his hand: "No need, just come with me."
If there are not enough spirit stones in the medicine garden, and Chen Mo has to go to Miaodan Peak to borrow them, he might as well let Cheng An do the legwork, which will save him the hassle of seeing Shen Mingyue.
After three days of fermentation, the news that everyone had returned from the Forgotten Land had spread throughout the Fuyun Sect. Among them, Lin Yuqin won the first prize in one fell swoop, beating all the monks. It was already known to everyone.
Chen Mo and Cheng An had heard a lot of praises about Lin Yuqin on their way to the far north. Some even exaggeratedly called her the number one Qi refiner in the Fuyun Sect, even better than Ye Lantian before. .
"Haha, come on! You don't know yet? Senior Brother Ye and her appeared one after another. Just based on her cultivation and strength, don't you think it's strange?"
"What do you want to say?!"
"These two people must have some close relationship!"
"Are you crazy? You can even say such things, be careful of what comes out of your mouth!"
.......
As the voices of the group gradually became quieter, Chen Mo did not stay any longer. In less than a cup of tea, he and Cheng An arrived at the Herb Garden in the Far North.
At first sight, dozens of outer disciples of the sect were picking and planting in an orderly manner. Chen Mo did not disturb them and directly asked Cheng An to find Qi Zhao, while he himself went directly into the caretaker house of Baicao Garden.
After a while, Tian Fang and Wen Kexiu appeared. Qi Zhao was away from the sect on business, so his son came.
They didn't know why when they saw Chen Mo, they didn't have such palpitations a few months ago, but now just one look can send chills down their backs!
This may be directly related to the fact that they learned that there is not even one out of ten on the Qianxun List, but the person in front of them can still walk out safely.
Chen Mo said calmly: "Sister Tian, have you brought the ledger of Yaoyuan?"
"Bring...Bring it! Deacon Chen, please take a look!"
Tian Fang was so frightened that he immediately offered his hands to Chen Mo. Chen Mo took it and flipped through a few pages. Every time he paused, he glanced at Tian Fang, which made the latter's scalp numb. He never dared to look at Chen Mo. .
Chen Mo didn't know much about how to falsify accounts, but he could understand people's hearts. After some posturing, Tian Fang's psychological defense was close to collapse.
"Sister Tian... do you think I won't come out alive?" Chen Mo jumped directly to the last balance, glanced at the numbers above, quietly closed the ledger and said calmly.
Tian Fang's body trembled, and she immediately knelt on the ground and said she didn't dare. Wen Kexiu was next to her. He, who was only a teenager, was trembling with fear at this time. He no longer had the intimacy with Chen Mo before. feeling.
The scene in front of him proves that Deacon Chen is obviously here to investigate. Wen Kexiu also knows in his heart that his father's unusual behavior in the past few months must be due to the fact that no one in the sect suppresses him, and there are many greedy spirits in the sect. medicine.........
Chen Mo smiled slightly and raised his hand to stop her with a gentle force:
"Sister Tian, look, I didn't say anything, right? Why are you so nervous? Even if there are errors in the accounts, Chen still believes that it was just a momentary negligence on your part, right?"
Chen Mo's smile made her terrified. It was precisely because she didn't know what was going to happen that she was scared. It was like a sharp ax hanging over her head that could fall at any time. If possible, it would be better for her to tell her directly how many spiritual stones she had coveted. Woolen cloth!
"By the way, Sister Tian, are the twenty-one thousand spiritual stones at the end the balance?"
Tian Fang shuddered again: "No...no, that's Elder Fan's...money for storing the elixir!"
Chen Mo nodded: "I will give you three hours to send it to my cave. I will return it to you before Youshi three days later. If anyone traces it, just mention my name."
"Yes!!" Tian Fang didn't dare to say no. She immediately agreed. When Chen Mo retreated, she felt as if she had received an amnesty and left the far north. As for how Chen Mo would deal with her in the future, it didn't matter. Well, as long as you don’t see him again!
"This Tian Fang..."
Chen Mo shook his head in his heart. On the one hand, he blamed himself for this. It seemed that he was always too kind to others, which actually gave rise to the idea that he was easy to fool. After this incident, he also developed a memory and no longer sent people casually. Take an important position.
"Kexiu, have you practiced recently?"
Chen Mo put on a gentle face and asked the young man with a smile, which frightened him so much that he knelt on the ground to plead for his father like Tian Fang.
Chen Mo sighed deeply in his heart, took out an ordinary bow from his storage bag, and handed it to Wen Kexiu: "There is no need for a heavy hammer to play the drum. Today, Uncle Chen will not pursue it for your sake. Please hand this over." Give it to your father, Cheng An, let’s go!”
"Okay, Senior Brother Chen!"
.......
Returning to the cave again, Chen Mo first asked Cheng An to secretly find a role to replace Tian Fang, and then asked him to return to Miaodan Peak to borrow money. By the time 30,000 spirit stones were gathered, it was already evening, even if he rushed there It's also behind closed doors, why not wait until the next day.
There was no words for the whole night. The next day, Chen Mo rushed to the place where the two foundation-building deacons had said to pay. Everything was fine. After paying 30,000 spirit stones, they gave Chen Mo a signed The matter of the spiritual contract and the moon-shielding bag has been settled.
"Go find Lin Yuqin next..."
Not long after Chen Mo had this idea, they met each other on the way to her cave.
