The Demon Subduing Pestle suddenly changed.

The runes that appeared on its surface were exactly the same as the ones that appeared when Lin Moyin summoned her flying sword!

Su Mo reflexively wanted to throw away the Demon Subduing Pestle, which was hot to the touch.

However, in the next second.

The golden runes that appeared on the Demon Subduing Pestle transformed into a ribbon, surging into his brow!

A mysterious, profound consciousness emerged.

Su Mo was shocked to discover.

He seemed to...

know how to cultivate immortality.

He understood specialized cultivation terms like "Purple Mansion," "Dantian," "Spirit Attraction and Soul Nurturing," and "Refining Essence into True Elixir."

At the same time, the astonishing heat from the Demon Subduing Pestle surged into his palm.

It then divided into over a dozen small snakes, constantly moving throughout Su Mo's body.

Wherever they went, his meridians tingled slightly, as if being forcefully squeezed open and broken through by the small snakes!

Finally, the heat flow converged in his Dantian and Purple Mansion, leaving his whole body feeling warm and comfortable.

Simultaneously, a large amount of foul-smelling black liquid seeped from his pores, sticky and unpleasant!

This was clearly the legendary marrow cleansing and body refining!

"Is this the operational method of the Yang Tian Jue?"

"It's really that complicated!"

"Thirteen routes running simultaneously!"

"No wonder an Immortal Path practitioner is needed for guidance!"

Su Mo marveled.

His gaze then fell upon the Demon Subduing Pestle, which had returned to normal.

His expression turned peculiar.

The Demon Subduing Pestle actually had such a function!

He had initially thought it would just multiply his strength a few times, but he never expected it to instantly grant him an Immortal Cultivation Method!

It seemed much more awesome than he had imagined!

Su Mo then tried placing the Demon Subduing Pestle back onto the jade booklet.

But no further anomalies occurred.

Fortunately.

The thirteen cultivation routes were now firmly etched into Su Mo's consciousness.

With a thought from Su Mo.

The heat flow in his Dantian and Purple Mansion, like a living thing, divided into thirteen streams of heat, circulating throughout his body!

Unfortunately, the divided heat flows were less than a tenth of the heat flow that had previously surged into his body from the Demon Subduing Pestle!

The flow rate had decreased, and the speed had slowed down.

It took a full half-hour for one cycle.

After cultivating.

Su Mo felt his body filled with power.

He threw out a punch, whistling through the air, at least twice as strong as before, making him feel like a martial arts master!

"Immortal Cultivation Methods are truly extraordinary!"

"Previously, when I took one finger strike from Lin Moyin, I retreated seven or eight steps, only stopping when I hit the wall!"

"If she dares to strike me with her finger again now!"

"Hmph!"

"I'll only retreat five steps at most!"

Su Mo closed his eyes, feeling the changes in his body after cultivation.

"I wonder what my current realm is?"

"According to the jade booklet, this is called 'entry-level'?"

"Are the cultivation realms in this world also the cliché Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul?"

"Never mind that for now! I need to take a bath first! This sticky feeling is unbearable!"

"I am now a Subordinate Clerk who knows how to cultivate immortality!"

"Immortal Clerk, that sounds pretty good!"

"Coupled with the amplification effect of the Demon Subduing Pestle, I've gained some ability to protect myself!"

After a cold shower, I need to wash again.

Washing away the sticky black slime.

I found my skin had become much tighter and more elastic.

My complexion, which had darkened slightly from the sun, was now much fairer, adding a touch of gentle refinement.

If I were to change into scholar's robes, tie up my hair, and replace my iron ruler with a folding fan.

Who would dare call me a Subordinate Clerk or a yamen runner!

I would clearly be a dashing scholar!

After the cold shower, I felt refreshed, and coupled with becoming a true man.

It's another energetic day!

I wanted to test the upper body effect of my new gear, but considering I'm a Brocade-Clad Dark Guard, doing so would be too conspicuous, so I had to give up.

Today is the first day of my day off, so I'll just wear casual clothes.

I carefully hid the jade scroll, carrying the Demon Subduing Pestle with me.

I headed straight for Chen Qian's residence.

As I passed the head of the alley.

I deliberately glanced at Qin Bi'er's grand house.

The young widow wasn't setting up her stall, and the gate was shut tight.

Investigating the Heavenly Mother Cult is the priority!

My career is just starting to take off, I can't be too engrossed in women.

Su Mo swallowed and quickened his pace.

Before long, I arrived outside Chen Qian's residence.

The gate was also shut tight.

Early in the morning, there were already many people lined up outside Chen's house.

Scar Meng and Zhang Si, two Laborers, were acting as doormen, blocking everyone outside.

Just as Su Mo was about to walk over and ask what was going on.

A ruffian, who looked like a troublemaker, standing at the back of the line, immediately shouted at Su Mo: "Hey! Newcomer, are you trying to cut the line?"

"Be careful you don't get beaten!"

"I advise you to obediently line up behind me!"

Su Mo...

Seeing Su Mo appear, Scar Meng and Zhang Si's eyes lit up, and they quickly jogged over.

Greeting him with great enthusiasm: "Officer Su, you're here?"

"This way, please!"

Saying that, they led Su Mo towards the side door.

Su Mo asked as he walked: "Did Third Uncle go to the yamen today?"

He pointed to the people waiting outside and frowned: "What's going on here?"

Scar Meng said with a smile: "Captain Zhong sent someone early this morning to inform Brother Chen that today is a day off, and Brother Chen just woke up not long ago."

Zhang Si pouted and said: "Those guys are here to see Brother Chen!"

"Speaking of which, it's because of you, Officer Su!"

Su Mo was stunned: "Because of me?"

Zhang Si smiled and said: "Officer Su has been promoted to Regular Servant and can recruit miscellaneous servants. They don't have your connections, so they can only ask Brother Chen!"

"Auntie found them so annoying that she told us to come and stop them!"

Su Mo was speechless.

Getting involved in gossip that concerned himself.

He quickly entered Chen's residence through the side door.

The people waiting outside Chen's residence immediately started discussing: "What the f*ck! Who is that guy? He actually got in?"

There are only so many spots for miscellaneous servants.

If others can't get one, it means one less for them!

The ruffian who had yelled at Su Mo was even more dumbfounded.

After a long while, he spat out a curse: "Who knows! He must have gone through the back door!"

"Nonsense, don't you think I can see that?"

"Then why are you asking?"

"Damn it! Are you trying to start something?"

"If you want to start something, I'm not afraid of you… Ah… You dare to sneak attack! Screw you!"

As soon as Su Mo entered the Chen residence, he saw Chen Yiyao, that little brat, standing alone in the central courtyard, plucking leaves from a flowering tree. She was clearly sulking.

Su Mo greeted her with a chuckle, "Who upset you?"

"Tell your cousin, and he'll help you get revenge!"

Chen Yiyao's eyes suddenly lit up. "Cousin Mo, why are you here!"

"Hmph!"

She immediately began complaining to Su Mo. "Cousin, isn't today your day off!"

"I wanted to go to the East Market with you, but Mother wouldn't allow it!"

She pouted, her small face full of grievance. "Can you talk to Mother for me, cousin?"

"She makes me practice needlework and read women's virtues in my room all day. It's suffocating me!"

After a pause, Chen Yiyao suddenly blinked and looked at Su Mo curiously. "Cousin, why have you become so much fairer and better-looking?"

Su Mo casually reached out to pat her head, but before he could speak, Chen Yiyao jumped away.

"Cousin!"

Chen Yiyao glared at Su Mo, emphasizing her words to show how serious she was. "You're not allowed to pat my head anymore!"

Su Mo was taken aback. "What's wrong?"

This little girl only came up to his shoulder, so patting her head was incredibly convenient.

He had patted her many times before!

Chen Yiyao snorted. "Mother said that if someone pats your head, you won't grow taller!"

"She told me not to let you pat me casually anymore!"

Su Mo

She's almost of age, yet she's still so silly!

She clearly believes in superstitions!

Education in ancient times is a long and arduous journey!

Just as he was about to speak.

The clever Scar Meng had already led Chen Gan out.

Chen Gan waved for Scar Meng to leave and then said to Su Mo, "Mo'er, come with me!"

Su Mo shrugged at Chen Yiyao, made a funny face, and quickly followed Chen Gan.

Chen Yiyao gnashed her teeth in anger, her small fists clenched tightly!

Cousin bullies her too much!

The little brat sulked even more!
