"What does it mean to truly develop and promote one's hobbies?"

Little Li back tactically.

A slight ripple emanated from the World Seed.

The Calamity Meteor Hammer is protesting.

Recently, Li Mo has been so focused on practicing swordsmanship that he hasn't been practicing it anymore, which makes Hammer Treasure feel very aggrieved, Weapon Intent clashes.

"When there's Hammer Trial Assembly in the future, where the hammer will be put to the test, I'll definitely let you show your might!"

Li Mo made a serious promise.

So Hammer Treasure stopped fussing and happily accepted the empty promise.

My conscience is bothering me.

It's human nature to not cherish what we get too easily...

As Little Li was thinking, he went to change his clothes. It was the shirt that Chulong had made for him. The workmanship was a bit rough, but it was made with great care, and the material was of very high quality.

"To be honest, if I say I'm a swordsman, who would object?"

Li Mo glanced at the mirror with satisfaction, then pushed open the door and went out.

As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Jiang Chulong squatting at the entrance of the yard, her knees drawn up to her chest, surrounded by several dirty stray cats eating the leftovers she had left behind.

Hearing footsteps behind her, she turned around and paused slightly in surprise.

"Li... Li... Big Brother Li... you wear... wear..."

Is it pretty?

Li Mo stood in front of her and asked with a smile.

"It is... the face of heaven and earth."

Through the strip of cloth, one could see Jiang Chulong's dreamy eyes, reflecting the youthful spirit of a young man.

"Haha, where did you learn adjectives?"

"I heard them praise... Father Emperor... in the same way..."

Jiang Chulong secretly sized her up.

In the end, she couldn't resist reaching out her little hand to smooth out the wrinkles on Li Mo's clothes.

"Thanks."

Li Mo rubbed her head.

"Um..."

Jiang Chulong opened her mouth, but found herself having difficulty breathing.

The thought of Big Brother Li becoming famous later wearing this outfit made her head spin.

Do the customers in the shop feel this way too, after drinking too much?

But she clearly didn't drink any alcohol...

"I should probably buy you some clothes."

When Li Mo looked, he saw that Princess Little Jiang was still wearing the clothes he wore when he was a helper at the hot pot restaurant.

"No... no need... I'm happy just wearing this."

Jiang Chulong clutched the hem of her dress and quickly shook her head.

"When we have some free time, we can go shopping together. Yun Province City is so bustling; maybe you'll find something you like."

"Shall we go for a stroll together, Big Brother Li...?"

Jiang Chulong murmured to herself, seemingly recalling a scene.

Li Mo couldn't help but smile.

Before long, the senior students also got up. Ouyang handed Li Mo a stack of silver notes, saying that this was a share of the profits from the art book.

Li Mo glanced at them and discovered that the denominations were all one thousand taels.

"Is 'The Overbearing Empress Falls in Love With Me' really that profitable?"

"This is only the cost for the first phase."

Ouyang stood tall and proud, his smile even more pronounced than an AK's, and his voice was much louder.

"Junior Brother Li, you and Junior Sister Ying Bing are both my benefactors!"

"..."

Li Mo then remembered that there had been a lot of investment feedback lately about "Youth-Preserving Pill," and it turned out that it was all because of Senior Brother Ouyang who had revealed it.

No wonder.

At that moment, the door of one of the rooms opened.

The rented courtyard suddenly became quiet.

Ice Block Tuozi stepped out, sword in hand. Her dark black feathered robe added a touch of mystery to her noble air.

How can it be called "master's"?

Everyone here is a respectable person, but when they stand next to her, they look like bodyguards.

If we're judging by presence and appearance, there's no need to even compete at the Nine Provinces Summit; the title of Sword Hero should just be awarded to her directly...

"Aren't you leaving?"

Ying Bing turned back at the doorway, puzzled.

Little Li asked blankly, "Ice Block, I have a question."

"Won't it be hot to wear a fur coat in the summer?"

"..."

Ying Bing's gaze swept over someone's buttocks before she boarded the carriage.

Jiang Chulong whispered, "Big Brother Li... that's not... not a mink..."

The streets were bustling with traffic and filled with the sounds of people.

The Clear Abyss Sect's group was inconspicuous among them.

Not only was the ground bustling with activity, but the sky was also far from peaceful.

Some people rode on giant eagles and strange beasts soaring through the sky, while others, swordsmen who had practiced some kind of aerial martial art, walked on their swords, displaying an unrestrained and elegant style.

In terms of their entrance, they were like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, Divine Ability.

"The one who just arrived on his sword, isn't that Wu Chushu, one of the Three Heroes of Cloud-Crossing?"

"That must be it."

"That's not right, isn't he living in Sword City? Why would he return from outside on a sword?"

"He's a true swordsman; don't meddle in his affairs."

"You can walk on a sword, and so can you."

The surrounding crowd murmured among themselves, many expressing strong longing and envy.

"If it weren't for my writing..."

Li Mo sighed, and in the Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye, he saw Wu Chushu's figure reflected as he rode away on his sword.

He lowered his head and started taking notes in his notebook again.

[Name: Wu Chushu]

[Age: 25]

[Root Bone: Myriad Flower Sword Bone]

[Realm: Six Apertures of Divine Observation]

[Destiny: Blue with a hint of purple]

[Evaluation: Second in Cloud-Crossing Sword City, Langya Province; at a young age, he already ranked seventy-fourth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking; Gentleman of Myriad Flowers.]

[Recent Encounter: In preparation for challenging Ying Bing to avenge Cloud-Crossing Sword City, his swordsmanship was damaged, and inner demons arose.]

"..."

Li Mo paused at this point.

Suddenly, I wasn't so envious of them anymore.

I even felt some sympathy.

Even if he had mastered the Nine Swords of Dugu to a lesser or greater degree, he wasn't confident he could defeat Ice Block. The only time he won with his sword was because of her... weakness. After that, he never saw her have any weaknesses.

He shook his head and continued recording.

He documented all the martial arts heroes who had investment potential.

Among them were well-known figures like Wu Chushu, as well as those who were unknown but possessed great strength.

Tread--

Suddenly, Li Mo's eyes flickered slightly.

He was a young man with an ordinary appearance and unremarkable aura, sitting on a strange beast foal.

But in the Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye, he was no ordinary man.

[Name: Huang Donglai]

[Age: 25]

[Root Bone: None]

[Realm: Five Apertures of Divine Observation]

[Destiny: Blue with a hint of purple]

[Evaluation: He obtained a unique treasure that allows him to analyze and dissect various martial arts techniques. He is calm and unassuming, and spent ten years diligently training in his small hometown before gaining the confidence to emerge from seclusion.]

[Recent Encounter: In my first battle after leaving the mountain, I encountered Jiang Chulong, which made me realize how weak I was, so I went back to my small town to train harder...]

Li Mo: "..."

What "Sword God of Shili Slope"?

You call yourself cautious? Why don't you go out and fight a few more times before heading home?

After taking notes for a while, Li Mo unconsciously said:

"There are quite a few geniuses in our Eastern Wasteland Domain, aren't there?"

"Quite a few."

Ying Bing supported Heavenly Frost and said softly.

"That's strange."

"After all, it was once the capital of the Great Shang Dynasty."

"That's true."

Li Mo seemed lost in thought.

It's understandable that a place once prosperous by a dynasty, now in decline, would be rich in talented people and resources.

Not long after.

We've arrived at the mountain gate of Cloud-Crossing Sword City.

This place is nestled against the mountains and beside the water, and there are ten fighting arenas here.

An elderly man carrying a sword first bowed to everyone before speaking:

"Once you step onto the stage, you become the champion. Everyone is welcome to come up and spar with you. The winner will take your place."

Three days later, the reigning champion, who was still standing on the stage at that time, finally passed the Sword Trial.
