There Are Still Many Things Unknown

The female police officer returned to the car, took out her walkie-talkie, and called for backup and an ambulance. Brother Hai and his group all needed ambulances, especially Brother Hai and a young man. Even if they recovered at the hospital, they might be crippled. However, the female officer knew why Chen Mo had been so ruthless. From the video, it was clear that these two had attacked first, forcing Chen Mo to retaliate. Therefore, in summary, they deserved it.

Besides, these thugs didn't even investigate properly before attacking. Did they really think martial arts aristocratic families were just for show? Of course, she was just muttering to herself. Ordinary people wouldn't know about martial arts aristocratic families. If they did, it would mean they were people of a certain status and position.

"Send me a copy of this video as evidence," the female officer said, returning Chen Mo's phone to him.

"Okay." Chen Mo didn't hesitate. After taking back his phone, he started sending the video to her work email as she had instructed.

"I am Yuan Ruoshan of Jianghai!" the female officer said, clasping her hands together in a fist-and-palm salute, greeting him with the etiquette of an aristocratic family.

Chen Mo was completely bewildered when he saw the female officer, or rather, Yuan Ruoshan's action. This time, his expression was clearly visible on his face, and Yuan Ruoshan saw it. She was taken aback, not expecting Chen Mo to not return the salute at all and to look so confused. What was going on?

"You're not from the Chen Family of Cangzhou?!" Yuan Ruoshan questioned him, a little annoyed.

"My name is Chen Mo. My home is in the Qinling Mountains. As for the Chen Family of Cangzhou, this is the first time I've heard of them," Chen Mo replied. He didn't hide his hometown address and admitted he didn't know about the Chen Family of Cangzhou. It was better to be clear with the police to avoid any misunderstandings.

"Then what about your martial arts? There are only the Li Family, Wang Family, Zhao Family, and Meng Family among the four great aristocratic families in the Qinling Mountains. I've never heard of a Chen Family," the female officer Yuan Ruoshan asked.

"Wait! What exactly are these aristocratic families you're talking about? Can you explain it to me? Also, what's wrong with me knowing some martial arts? Does it have to be related to the Chen Family? And this Chen Family of Cangzhou, what are you talking about? I don't understand any of this!" Chen Mo felt a bit depressed. It seemed he and the female officer were not on the same wavelength, and their conversation was always disjointed.

"You've never heard of aristocratic families?" Yuan Ruoshan asked.

"No! Never!" Chen Mo confirmed.

"I see. Then can you tell me how you learned your martial arts? And what stage have you cultivated to?" Yuan Ruoshan asked.

"Oh? That..." Just then, the sound of an ambulance and sirens reached their ears. Chen Mo paused and said to Yuan Ruoshan, "Can we arrange a time to talk about this in detail later?"

"No problem. Here's my number. I'll call you after I've dealt with this," Yuan Ruoshan said. Seeing her colleagues approaching, she knew it wasn't the time to chat, especially with the groaning figures lying around. So, she agreed to meet later and gave Chen Mo her phone number.

Chen Mo noted down Yuan Ruoshan's number and saved it.

Thanks to Yuan Ruoshan's presence and Chen Mo's phone recording, today's incident didn't pose too much of a problem.

After arriving at the police station, they directly recorded the statements. Since the evidence was clear and Chen Mo was acting in self-defense, the police didn't make things difficult for him. They only told him not to leave Shangshi for the time being, as there might be further procedures to follow.

Chen Mo was taken aback. He had wanted to go home for a long time. If it took too long, wouldn't it delay his plans? Fortunately, after inquiring with the relevant personnel, he learned that it would only take within 20 days. This case was a public security case, so the procedures would be quick, and with all the evidence complete, the trial would also be swift. Moreover, he had already been classified as acting in self-defense, and with the female officer Yuan Ruoshan vouching for him, the matter would be much simpler.

With a sense of relief, Chen Mo left the police station. He needed to think carefully about what had happened today. It wasn't about Brother Hai; to him, thugs like Brother Hai were beneath his notice. If they hadn't specifically targeted him, he would have probably forgotten about such people. What concerned him were the martial arts aristocratic families Yuan Ruoshan mentioned, as well as the Chen Family of Cangzhou, the Yuan Family of Jianghai, and so on. It made him curious about how so many aristocratic families had appeared in the world he lived in.

Before he reached Qi Refining Layer One, he hadn't noticed any aristocratic families around him. Why did they suddenly appear after he reached Qi Refining Layer One? And during his spar with Yuan Ruoshan today, what was that qi he felt? He felt that this qi was not True Essence, but rather like the internal energy described in novels. It made him wonder if this was the cultivation path in China.

What was this cultivation path? Did it have any relation to Cultivation of Immortality? What was the final level of cultivation? All these became things Chen Mo wanted to understand. However, he had no clue now and could only hope to understand after meeting and talking with Yuan Ruoshan.

He thought about it. There were still many things in this world he didn't understand. He needed to be cautious with his cultivation. Without understanding the situation, it was best to investigate thoroughly first. Regarding his own Cultivation of Immortality, it was best to keep it hidden. It was always best to be careful. Chen Mo set a rule for himself: until his Strength reached a certain level and he understood the world, it was best to keep a low profile.

After returning home, he first reviewed the Cleansing Technique from the Transmission Jade Talisman and then began to learn the spell. It involved a few very simple hand gestures. After practicing for less than a dozen times, he could use it proficiently. He cast it on himself and immediately felt much more refreshed. It wasn't just his body but also his clothes and everything else became clean. This made Chen Mo very happy. With this spell, he could basically say goodbye to washing his face and so on. No matter the situation, he could just cast it on himself, and everything from the inside out would be clean, including his eyes, mouth, ears, and other parts. It was truly a very practical spell.

He then used the spell to clean his house. All the generated garbage was gathered in the air between his hands and then directly put into a garbage bag. Every part of the house was spotless, including the hidden corners and the ceiling. Everything looked brand new.

This spell is truly a blessing for lazy people!

He took out the various seeds he bought today, then opened the bags one by one and placed them into containers he had already prepared. He labeled the names of the seeds, and finally stored them in the Universe Bead. He then used the Stream Water within the Universe Bead to soak them all. In addition, he also placed the three seeds he discovered himself into containers, and soaked them with Stream Water.

In reality, some seeds do not require soaking. Before planting, seeds are typically treated with a mixture of fungicide to sterilize them. This process takes about 1 to 2 hours, after which they are sown into the soil. Keeping the soil moist is enough for them to germinate.

However, for the sake of experimentation, Chen Mo still adopted a more conservative approach. He soaked the seeds in Stream Water for 2 hours before planting, naturally hoping the seeds could absorb sufficient Spiritual Energy.

Then, he also directly sowed some seeds into the soil. He did this to make a comparison, so he bought double portions of these seeds.

Furthermore, during the soaking period, he did not activate the time acceleration function of the Universe Bead. He wanted to see how long ordinary seeds would take to germinate within normal time, as this would provide greater accuracy for his experiment. This was his first time using the Universe Bead to plant, and he had to figure everything out himself. The Universe Bead only transmitted to him its controls, how to unlock Restrictions, and its functions and uses. However, there was no information regarding planting that he could refer to.

He separated the two planting methods, using the Stream Water as a Boundary, placing them on opposite sides for easier observation. The three leftover seeds were planted in a separate area near the White Jade Platform. He also made a marker with a wooden board here, to see what kind of plants would sprout from these three seeds.
