"If you can't figure it out, stop thinking about it. This is not a truth that can be understood overnight. Chen Mo, come with me. I just have something to ask you."
Chen Mo found that Li Zhen had been calling him by his first name tonight, instead of calling him his number on the island. The more formal she was, the more uneasy Chen Mo felt.
"Is it because you want to teach me a lesson for Meng Qianqiu?"
The arrow was on the string and had to be fired. Chen Mo was thinking about it but could not guess what Li Zhen was thinking, so he had no choice but to agree.
The door to the side hall was pushed open, and the room was dark. Li Zhen pulled a rope-like mechanism in the air, and the whole house suddenly became bright, illuminated like daylight.
The lights made of cryolite were dazzling. This was the first time Chen Mo saw such bright light. Before he could marvel, Li Zhen asked him to sit on the chair on the right in the center of the hall, and she sat on the symbolic chair. To the left of the owner's position.
Chen Mo was so frightened that he jumped up and said quickly: "Teacher, how dare this junior to sit on an equal footing in front of you? Just stand still!!"
Apart from her identity as Meng Qianqiu's aunt, Li Zhen herself is also a great monk in the late stage of elixir formation. Chen Mo did not dare to give her an excuse to disrespect her senior.
"Chen Mo, don't be so nervous. You are a smart man. If the island really wanted to target you, you would not appear here."
"Yes... Master Mo Yuan is indeed magnanimous." Chen Mo smiled bitterly.
"So I called you here tonight. Firstly, I want to answer your doubts in class. Secondly, I want to know what happened between you and Qianqiu that caused her to hate you so much. The so-called right medicine, at least you have to Let us know the cause and effect."
"Okay! Then I'll recruit you as expected!"
Now that Li Zhen had spoken to this extent, Chen Mo stopped being secretive and told the truth about what he did when he entered the land of oblivion.
Meng Qianqiu killed him on the Ruins Bridge without ever meeting him, and he ambushed and attacked her on the desolate giant turtle, catching her off guard, including the subsequent series of cooperation and the final battle, all of which were described in incomparable detail. .
Except for concealing something about the black stones, Chen Mo could almost say that he made an unreserved statement.
Li Zhen knew very well what kind of character Meng Qianqiu was, and what Chen Mo was like, Li Zhen also had a pretty good idea of what Chen Mo was like.
Combined with the words of the two people, it is clear who is adding fuel to the conflict.
"...You mean, you cut off her arm in the end, and she destroyed the main material of your Thousand-Year Foundation Building Pill, so that you can no longer practice, right?"
From the beginning to the end, Chen Mo played the role of the victim. When he saw someone willing to file a lawsuit, of course he told everything about his inability to practice.
"Teacher, please investigate clearly. Since building the foundation, my level has fluctuated up and down. In more than two years, my cultivation has not improved an inch."
Li Zhen briefly touched his wrist and knew that what Chen Mo said was true. However, the quality of spiritual power in Chen Mo's body made Li Zhen feel a little surprised: "No wonder he can fight back and forth. I understand it."
"Your spiritual power is an extremely rare source of mutation. It recovers slowly, is powerful, and has the ability to repair meridians. If used properly, you will have a place among the elite generation of the mainland."
After Geng Liang, another senior in the alchemy stage spoke highly of his spiritual power. Chen Mo thanked him, but then heard Li Zhen say:
"If you can't practice, the final analysis is that the Dao foundation can't gather energy, so naturally you can't form a golden elixir."
"If you use the Spiritual Aperture Pill to open up a second Dantian in the third orifice, it can imitate the Qi gathering similar to the Danjie Dan. It is also equivalent to practicing three Taoist foundations at the same time, which will greatly improve your strength."
"But how to unify the three orifices and complete the final elixir formation, we don't know anything about this. Furthermore, the spiritual orifice elixir is also a rare and rare elixir for monks in the elixir formation stage... "
"How many spirit stones, I'll buy them!"
Ever since Chen Mo heard the words Lingqiao Dan, it was as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. In Tianyun Continent, if even Trapped Demon Island could not solve his cultivation problem, then who could he count on?
"Have you forgotten what Lu Manshi said? The island only accepts meritorious deeds. If you want to redeem it, a Lingqiao Pill costs 300,000."
"Three hundred thousand..."
Chen Mo's face froze when he heard this number. He estimated that only if he got an excellent evaluation in the assessment, he would be given a dozen points of merit, 300,000. How long would it take to save up?
"Those three are equivalent to 900,000 meritorious deeds." Chen Mo said with difficulty.
"No, it's 1.2 million. The quality of the Lingqiao Pill at Baihui Point is much higher than that at Yongquan and Laogong Point."
"But things started due to Meng Qianqiu. Your situation needs to be considered on the island. I can make the decision. I will pay you a Spiritual Ability Pill first to help you break through the mid-stage foundation building. You owe the island 300,000 yuan." When will you pay off your merits and then allow you to lend out the next Lingqiao Pill?"
"It's no different than working on the island for the rest of your life."
Chen Mo secretly thought in his heart, but this kind of thing cannot be taken seriously. What if Li Zhen wants to clear up the grudges, give him three Lingqiao Pills for free, and chop off his arm with her backhand, and he does not have a grandfather in the Nascent Soul stage. Wouldn’t he become a disabled cultivator?
Once a monk's body is mutilated, his practice will be half the result with half the effort, and the defects in his spiritual veins are irreversible. This is why Meng Qianqiu's broken arm caused such a sensation before, which is tantamount to ruining his future.
"Is two hundred thousand meritorious service okay? If it is okay, this junior will agree."
Chen Mo is a realistic person. He can't even reach the middle stage of foundation building. Talking about the pill formation stage is just whimsical. Before Li Zhen had no better way, taking three spiritual aperture pills to break through the realm was already his best practice. way.
"The method of using Lingqiao Dan to replace Daoji is my personal opinion. As for what method will be used in the end, I will also ask Master Mo Yuan for instructions. Regarding the merit exchange issue, you have to wait for the master's reply. I don't have that much confidence. Permission is given to you."
"Then I'll have to worry about it, Teacher."
Chen Mo bowed respectfully: "By the way, teacher, I still have a problem to solve. Meng Qianqiu always threatens me and waits for me to leave the island. It seems that she wants to kill me. Is there any way to avoid it? ?”
"After all, if this junior dies, there will be no way to repay the merits owed to me."
Li Zhen chuckled and said, "You must be able to agree to my conditions readily because of this."
"Teacher has insight into people's hearts, and juniors admire him." Chen Mo admitted generously without blushing.
"Get it."
As soon as Li Zhen finished speaking, Chen Mo took over subconsciously, and a shiny button appeared in his palm.
Chen Mo carefully looked at it and saw a blooming lotus engraved on the back of the silver button.
"This is the relic of Meng Qianqiu's mother. There is only one in the world. I have been keeping it for you. You can keep it safe if you have this."
"But you have to remember that this is not a way for you to threaten her. She is very extreme. If you provoke her without a bottom line and drive her crazy, you will be responsible for all the consequences."
What Chen Mo wanted was this promise. He was not someone who wanted to hang himself for a long time, so he naturally agreed and promised to only take it out when his life was threatened. Only then did he get Li Zhen's approval.
This trip was not in vain. It not only solved the shackles of cultivation, but also eliminated the death threat of Meng Qianqiu, and also confirmed the path he wanted to take. It can be said that he achieved multiple things with one stone.
"Chen Mo, I can tell you responsibly that the most important course on the island is politics. Everything you learn is for politics."
"War is a continuation of politics. I saw your performance in class today. At least half of you are not interested in my courses. Their purpose of coming to the island is very pure, just to learn spells and fights. As long as It’s enough if you can improve your cultivation.”
"But you have to remember that the most dangerous thing in the world of cultivation is not the realm of monks, but the human heart. That's it for now. I'm going to rest."
Li Zhen issued an order to expel guests, and Chen Mo also got what he wanted, so he quickly bowed down and resigned.
Although she didn't know why Li Zhen told him this, one thing was clear: she would never be expelled from the island easily.
The next morning, Lu Manshi summoned everyone to the castle again to learn the basic knowledge of the world of cultivation, but this time the lecturer was Su Mu.
In the first three days, she explained the spiritual herbs according to the contents in the book. In the evening, everyone did not have the special treatment to rest. They all followed her into the medicine garden in the back mountain to identify and assess on the spot.
