The Origins of Jade Cluster Peak-Our Sect Was Truly Thriving

In the Mist Flower Ageless Spring, the fragrance of the Earth Vein Spirit Milk rises with the water vapor.

The absorption efficiency of any spiritual liquid or elixir added to this hot spring will be improved.

And it's very comfortable.

"Um?"

Shang Wu, who was engrossed in taking a bath, slightly opened her almond-shaped eyes, thought for a moment, and then:

"It used to be."

"Before?"

"There used to be dozens of jade carvings on Jade Cluster Peak, all Divine Observation Diagram."

Shang Wu lazily tugged at her bathrobe, seemingly finding it a bit tight.

Li Mo suddenly realized.

No wonder the Jade Cluster Peak is called that; it's quite fitting.

He had been wondering before that each peak of Clear Abyss Sect had its own function and characteristics, but Jade Cluster Peak was bare and had nothing at all.

Etc.

It looks completely bare now.

"What about those jade carvings?"

Little Li speculated that perhaps his beautiful master didn't have money for alcohol, so she sold him to buy more.

It sounds absurd, but when applied to one's master, it seems quite reasonable...

"Oh, I was drunk one day."

Shang Wu leaned her head back and recalled:

"Then, as soon as I returned to the peak, I stumbled upon those jade carvings..."

After listening to his master's detailed explanation, Little Li finally understood what had happened.

Shang Wu was completely drunk that day; she probably saw double.

Then I came across those jade carvings.

As we all know, Divine Observation Diagram or statues of Divine Observation, the key is to capture both their spirit and form, making them lifelike and allowing people to experience their Divine Charm as if they were there. Naturally, the more realistic, the better.

And then Shang Wu actually took it seriously.

Even Wu Song, after drinking, dared to fight a tiger; who is Shang Wu anyway?

Thinking that the clan had been attacked by a powerful enemy, she uprooted a tree and attacked the group of thugs while drunk.

Upon waking up, I discovered that the Divine Observation statues that have been passed down through generations on Jade Cluster Peak had all been vandalized and reduced to fragments.

Li Mo: "..."

Okay.

I was saying Jade Cluster Peak was in such a dilapidated state, and it turns out you demolished your own home.

He couldn't help but recall that there were rather strange signs erected at the foot of the other peaks.

[Intoxicated persons are prohibited from entering the peak area]

He was thinking to himself, "What a strange rule this is."

Co-authoring is tailor-made.

"My precious apprentice."

Shang Wu suddenly called out to him.

Li Mo looked over subconsciously and saw his beautiful master's almond-shaped eyes curving into crescents, her brows furrowing slightly.

Express.

She still remembered her apprentice saying that soaking in a hot spring and drinking alcohol was a wonderful thing.

"Ahem, Master, from a medical perspective, drinking alcohol while soaking in hot springs is actually bad for your health."

"I'm in great shape. If you don't believe me, you can fight me."

"... I forgot to bring my wine."

A real man keeps his word.

Splash--

Shang Wu frowned, crossed her arms, and turned her back.

The disciple broke his word and disobeyed his master.

Angry.

Li Mo: "..."

He usually keeps his word.

It's mainly because I just heard the story of jade carving.

They're taking a bath together now. What if Shang Wu gets drunk and mistakes him for a lecherous peeping Tom, and punches him a few times?

Who could withstand this?

Seeing that this tactic hadn't worked, Shang Wu rubbed her forehead and frowned:

"Tsk, I was originally planning to tell my disciple how to break through the Profound Pill and enter the Divine Observation Realm."

"Why can't you remember what you were going to say all of a sudden?"

"My head hurts, I'm probably sick."

The Master's Three-Pronged Approach.

Implied meaning, feigning ignorance, and military intimidation.

Seeing his master, who could easily uproot a willow tree, acting all weak, Little Li's lips twitched slightly.

With a sigh, Li Mo set up a floating plate and placed a pot of wine on it.

"Master, that's all you've drunk..."

Before he could finish speaking...

The floating platform vanished without a trace, drawn to Shang Wu by an unknown force.

She happily draped her arm over the edge of the pool, rested her chin on her hand, and poured herself a glass.

"What kind of wine is this? It smells quite good."

"Red Ganoderma Wine."

Li Mo watched helplessly as his master raised his cup and drank it all in one gulp, his almond-shaped eyes narrowed, revealing happiness and contentment.

"Master, can we talk about martial arts now?"

"Hmph, in fact, Divine Observation is the transformation and perfection of one's own Will Soul."

Shang Wu smelled the aroma of the wine in her glass, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly:

"Just like Root Bone, some people are broad-shouldered and strong, while others are born with superhuman strength; their physical bodies are therefore stronger than ordinary people."

"Observing and studying Form-Will) is a way to temper Will Soul and spirit."

"Similar to having your Root Bone replaced later in life?"

Li Mo suddenly realized.

Root Bone can be transformed through rare treasures or years of honing one's skills.

"Yes, the two have some similarities."

Shang Wu nodded.

She roughly explained the methods and fundamentals of cultivating one's spirit.

Li Mo had a fairly clear understanding of the matter.

For example, practicing Through-Back Fist for many years will unconsciously make one's posture move towards the direction of "ape arms".

If one practices martial arts at a high level, their physical Root Bone will also be better.

Of course, it's also possible that a person's physical condition isn't good enough, and they might injure themselves during training.

The same applies to Divine Observation.

"To possess a good Divine Observation Diagram, one must also have the talent to bring it to life."

"What suits you best is the best."

"Take old man Shangguan for example. He only observed the shape of a swallow, the Lower Form, but he extended it into the Upper Form, approaching the Extreme Form."

Shang Wu's mouth was getting dry from talking, so she took another sip of Red Ganoderma Wine.

"So how do you find a form that suits your own style of observation?"

Li Mo guessed that his master was about to fall asleep, so he quickly asked.

"We can go to... Ruyi Peak... snoring away..."

Shang Wu floated on the water's surface.

"..."

You can fall asleep while talking, Master, you're really something.

Speaking of Inner Scene martial artists, they shouldn't get swollen from soaking, right?

Turning his gaze away, Li Mo got up from the hot spring.

"Ruyi Peak... it seems I should make a trip there tomorrow."

In the attic.

Ying Bing watched him walk out from behind the artificial hill.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, I couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Is soaking in hot springs really that comfortable?

On second thought...

If the punishment for the loser is merely a formality, then why should she deliberately avoid it?

"We'll talk about it when we have time."

Ying Bing shook her head slightly.

Tomorrow she will enter the main ancestral Ancestral Hall, and what she needs to do now is to adjust herself to her best condition.

Based on her experience from her previous life, and the information that Shangguan Wencang had vaguely revealed, she already knew.

The ancestral Ancestral Hall on the main peak may very well contain the Great Dao Divine Form.

"The Taiyin Divine Form combined with the form of the Phoenix God."

"My Divine Observation Realm will be much stronger than in my previous life."

Ying Bing knelt in the moonlight, bathed in its pure and bright glow, like the most exquisite jade sculpture in the world.

The Profound Pill spun slowly within his body, seemingly establishing some kind of connection with the moon in the sky.

The next day.

The sky was overcast; it looked like night was approaching even though it was early in the morning, with none of the three suns visible.

Thick, dark clouds gathered, as if brewing a torrential downpour.

On the bluestone path within the sect, a young man in white robes fluttered gently. His face was handsome and gentle, and no one would probably disagree that he was a gentleman from Ruyi Peak who studied the classics of the sages.

Um... Ouyang might.

After asking around, Li Mo soon found a house nestled in a bamboo grove.

To his surprise, Ouyang's courtyard was bustling with activity.

Disciples from all the peaks were present, forming a long queue.

He also saw a familiar figure.

"Brother Li, are you also here to buy Senior Brother Ouyang's masterpiece?"

Murong Xiao smiled broadly upon seeing the newcomer.

That smile is a bit silly, yet it conveys a sense of profound wisdom disguised as foolishness.

"More or less," Li Mo nodded.

Painting Path is one of the skills that Ruyi Peak is most proud of, and its status is similar to that of forging on Divine Weapon Peak and alchemy on Cauldron Peak.

A true master painter can perfectly replicate Divine Observation Diagram.

Everyone hopes that the quality of elixirs and weapons can be better, and the same applies to the Divine Observation Diagram.

A good Divine Observation Diagram is priceless.

However, he wasn't there to buy paintings, since he didn't even know what kind of paintings he was suited to look at.

"There are so many people."

Murong Xiao looked into the distance.

"Well, I'm afraid we won't be able to see Senior Brother Ouyang for a while."

Li Mo couldn't help but sigh.

Our Clear Abyss Sect is truly thriving!

So many fellow disciples are so diligent and eager to learn, progressing towards the Divine Observation Realm.

"You two are True Disciple, are you also here to buy paintings?"

At this moment, an inner disciple suddenly approached.

He said with a mysterious look on his face:

"Junior brother, I'm not very talented, but I started queuing up quite early and have already obtained Senior Brother Ouyang's latest work. I wonder if you two senior brothers would be interested? As for the price... it's a little bit expensive."

"I've been waiting in line for so long, I'd like to get some compensation for my trouble."

"Um?"

Li Mo was puzzled.

That tone sounds like that of a scalper.

Divine Observation Form-Will Diagram but not universally applicable, what's the point?

"Senior brothers, it's absolutely lifelike! You know Senior Brother Ouyang's skill level."

The inner disciple patiently guided him.

"Um, give it to me."

Li Mo wasn't short of money, so he readily paid. The inner disciple beamed and handed over a picture album.

Upon seeing the cover, Little Li had a bad feeling.

Upon opening it, it was indeed as expected.

His lips twitched.

Okay...

Is it really that realistic?

"So everyone's lining up so early in the morning to buy the Imperial Uncle's stuff, huh!"

Splat--

In anger, Little Li threw the picture book on the ground.
