Li Mo: "Ying Bing, have you ever soaked in a hot spring?"

"Is the trial over?"

Li Mo looked up at the sky.

The Ice Block caught up quite a bit later on.

But there was nothing he could do; he was far ahead of Ying Bing, and after accepting the Beast Token from the Giant Bone Ape, he now had a slight edge over her.

"Let's go, let's all go to the meeting point."

Li Mo took the Phoenix Blood Spirit Grass and examined it for a moment.

Then he casually shoved it into Old Xiao's arms.

"Ah?"

Xiao Qin held the spiritual herb, sensing its vibrant life force.

This is why he risked his life to enter the secret realm.

It is also a rare and precious treasure for teachers to reshape their bodies in the future.

If it were left out in the open, many people would fight to the death over it, even brothers would turn against each other, and spouses would become enemies...

"I can't..."

"Receive!"

Li Mo brought his five fingers together, making a gesture that needed no further explanation.

"But this spiritual herb... if it weren't for Junior Brother Li, it would never have come into my hands."

Xiao Qin's feelings were complicated, and he forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"I haven't repaid the favor I owed Junior Brother Li from before."

"Now we owe another one..."

He genuinely didn't know how to repay the debt.

At this moment, Old Xiao even wished he were a girl, so he could offer himself to her.

"Take it; a lot of lice won't itch, and a lot of debt won't worry you."

"There's no use for this thing of mine."

Li Mo chuckled.

"Well."

Xiao Qin put away the Phoenix Blood Spirit Grass, his face full of shame.

He asked himself softly:

"Teacher, can I practice your divine skill with Junior Brother Li?"

He doesn't have the ability to repay the favor in the short term.

"If it suits him, then of course."

"But you must also remind him that he absolutely must not leak this."

After hesitating for a few seconds, the Thousand Forms Martial Venerable finally sighed and agreed.

Whether it's the Yin-Sinking Soul-Nurturing Wood or the Phoenix Blood Spirit Grass, the one who truly benefits is him.

But.

It's too early to say these things now.

The conditions for learning that martial art are very strict; it's not enough to just have good talent.

Even Ying Bing might not be able to master it.

After putting away the spiritual herbs, Xiao Qin shook his head again and said:

"I will not go to the next level with Brother Li."

"The next trial will likely be even more dangerous. Not only will I be unable to help you there, Brother Li, but I'll also be a hindrance."

"Besides, I've already gotten what I wanted most."

Xiao Qin cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

Li Mo pondered for a moment, then nodded, abandoning his idea of giving him some Beast Token:

"Then you can go to the Tree Demon Forest and go out with everyone."

"Everyone?"

"Okay, you can go then."

Although it's unclear who "everyone in the Tree Demon Forest" refers to.

Anyway, Old Xiao trusted Li Mo unconditionally, so he nodded immediately.

"What about you Senior Brother Xiao Bao Xiaobao?"

Li Mo turned his head and asked again.

"My master told me to stand with you through thick and thin, so of course I'll follow you."

The Mud Monkey is Tang Xiaobao, and he's smiling, revealing a row of white baby teeth.

Collecting these Bone Ape Beast Token would be just enough for him to break into the top fifty.

Final.

Following the directions given by Li Mo, Xiao Qin went to the Tree Demon Forest.

Li Mo and his two companions set off in the direction indicated by the pillar of light.

At the same time, a pleasant reminder rang in his ears:

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully invested in one 'Xiao Qin' Phoenix Blood Spirit Grass.]

[Investment Feedback: Mist Flower Ageless Spring]

[Mist Flower Ageless Spring]: "After being added, it will create a hot spring that is ten meters long and wide, and will remain clean forever. It has an extremely strong effect in relieving fatigue. Any medicinal liquid added to it can be fully absorbed by the body, and it also has beauty and skin-nourishing effects."

Spa?

The list of effects looks long, but its usefulness seems rather ordinary.

Absorbing heavenly materials and earthly treasures and refining them in the Dragon-Tiger Pill Furnace is much better than taking a bath.

To relieve fatigue... he hasn't been practicing his body much lately.

Beauty and skincare claims are even more absurd.

With my looks, why would I need beauty treatments?

"It can only be kept in the Autumn Water Pavilion as an object of enjoyment."

Li Mo curled his lip.

In front of the open space emitting white light.

More than forty people arrived at this place.

The strongest Bone Beast in the secret realm is the Divine Observation Realm.

The restriction to entry is also the Divine Observation Realm.

To be able to kill one or even multiple opponents of the same realm, one must be an exceptionally talented genius with extraordinary combat power. This is because either one uses powerful martial arts, possesses divine weapons, or has extraordinary treasures to rely on.

Most of the people were travel-worn and disheveled, with almost none bearing injuries, and almost none at the Inner Breath Realm.

Why do I say "almost"?

Ying Bing stood in the corner, still wearing that Fish Tooth Brocade Dress with Black Cloud Gauze lining.

He stood alone, sword in hand, his aloofness unattainable.

Only when looking at the rankings did a hint of doubt appear in her beautiful eyes.

All right...

Ying Bing wasn't the only one with doubts.

Everyone who saw the final rankings was stunned, no longer just shocked, but simply felt it was outrageous.

His mother opened the door for him, and he got home.

"The first and second are both at the Inner Breath Realm?"

"That little girl got over three hundred Beast Token? How did she do that?"

"I saw Ying Bing make a move. I Four Apertures of Divine Observation, and I wouldn't dare to fight her even if you beat me to death. She can only be described as terrifying."

"Okay, what about Li Mo?"

"This secret realm is rife with problems! I refuse to accept this! A rematch!"

It's understandable that people find it unacceptable.

They tolerated the fact that the Inner Breath Realm prodigy could fight beyond his level, even stronger than someone in the Divine Observation Realm.

But over six hundred Beast Token...

Are you here to buy goods?

While everyone was still filled with surprise and doubt.

"Is that Li Mo?"

Someone shouted.

In an instant, countless eyes were focused on that direction.

"Junior Brother Li, how did you manage to do that?"

Ouyang, the senior disciple of Ruyi Peak, was also there. He wasn't very familiar with Li Mo, but he was genuinely curious.

"What?"

Li Mo followed his gaze and looked over, then said frankly:

"Do good deeds and don't worry about the future."

"After I saved them, they gave me their Beast Token."

In other words.

A significant portion of those who failed to make it into the top fifty gave their Beast Token to Little Li.

"???"

Everyone looked bewildered.

What happened to the promise of a treacherous world where people scheme against each other, betray each other, and fight to the death by any means necessary?

Are you here to accumulate merit?

Key...

This is actually allowed?!

"It seems that it really was a clever trick."

Bai Jinghong was relieved.

As he passed by, he watched for a while as Li Mo fought the giant ape.

He's quite skilled, but even at the Inner Breath Realm, he could do it; it's within the realm of his understanding.

"I wonder what the next test will be."

"Speaking of which, this is a secret realm, but it's like a sect recruiting disciples, with so many trials."

Li Mo walked to Ying Bing's side and murmured as he looked at the pillar of light shooting straight into the sky.

"Perhaps it was arranged before the Blood Phoenix perished."

Ying Bing's eyes were calm.

Anyway, she was certain that the Blood Phoenix Essence was here, and that was enough.

She was lost in thought.

Li Mo's gaze swept across her face, and he couldn't help but recall the feedback he had just received.

Spa...

If Ice Block is soaked in it, won't the Mist Flower Ageless Spring freeze?

Um...

"Ying Bing."

"Um?"

Have you ever soaked in a hot spring?

"?"

Ying Bing's clear eyes widened slightly.

Thank you to all the viewers!
