Separation, Diary

The following morning.

Li Mo opened his eyes on the rooftop, glanced at the empty massage chair beside him, but did not get up. Instead, taking advantage of the tranquility and clarity of State of Mind after observing Taiyin, he continued to observe the <Wukong Seeking the Dao Diagram>.

After the sun had fully risen, he did not exercise, but went to the kitchen instead.

"If only the Seventy-two Earthly Fiend Transformations were as simple as body refinement."

Little Li was making pork rib soup, he easily separated the bones of a seventh-grade exotic beast on the cutting board with a single finger.

This strange beast is known for its tough bones, especially its spine.

"Um..."

"Actually, I thought body tempering was easy before because resources were plentiful."

Li Mo calmed himself down and took stock of the inventory.

Various elixirs and heavenly materials and earthly treasures are still plentiful, but their effects vary.

There are not many of these that are beneficial for physical fitness anymore.

Moreover, it's difficult to replenish in a short period of time.

The members of Clear Abyss Sect are setting off back to Purple Sun Prefecture today and are unable to provide feedback at this time.

The important thing is that Ice Block isn't around.

It hurts, it hurts so much.

"So this is what it feels like to live off your savings."

Li Mo looked at the several mountains of gold in the System Space and sighed bitterly.

Who knows how much we'll need on the way?

It's not impossible to end up with nothing but money...

"Before going to the Southern Border, you must master the Seventy-Two Transformations."

"Otherwise, traveling in the Southern Border as a human would be too conspicuous."

"I've almost grasped the essence of the Seventy-Two Transformations..."

As I pondered, the bone broth simmering over Karmic Fire emitted a delicate fragrance.

They learned that Li Mo would not be returning to Clear Abyss Sect with them.

Everyone was very reluctant to part, and each of them ate three large bowls of food with tears in their eyes.

"Little Mo, the Southern Border is lush with vegetation. I have a Hundred Herbs Illustrated Guide here. Keep it safe and carefully distinguish the herbs you encounter."

Elder Xue's eyes held a complex expression, a feeling akin to watching a child grow up and finally embark on a long journey.

"Why are there fungi...?"

Li Mo flipped through it casually.

Tang Xiaobao laughed and said, "Junior brother, do you think Master came up with the external alchemy method? That day at Cauldron Peak, we were having mushroom soup, and I was so eager to taste it that I served it before it was fully cooked."

Li Mo: "..."

Thinking about it this way, Ice Block's cooking skills aren't so unacceptable.

"A poor family needs to be frugal on the road, so I'll give you some... Never mind, you're much richer than me."

Elder Qian paused halfway through his sentence, but his vast knowledge quickly gave him something even more valuable to impart:

"Let me teach you a phrase in the Demon Race language; you can use it to greet Demon Beast."

"I'm all ears."

Li Mo became more serious; sometimes, knowledge is the most precious thing.

A single sentence can lead to a bloody battle, such as "What are you looking at?"

Of course, a friendly word can sometimes resolve a problem.

Qian Bufan said, "I want Barbie to make a cow."

"...?"

Li Mo couldn't detect any friendliness in it, probably because it wasn't human language.

"This was taught to me by a Demon Race friend, so don't worry."

"Okay."

Li Mo said he would keep it in mind.

Oh, right.

Why isn't Master speaking?

Li Mo glanced to the side and saw that his beautiful master's almond-shaped eyes were red and her red lips were pursed. When she saw her beloved disciple looking over, she wiped the corner of her eye.

"Master... you're crying?"

"No."

Li Mo remarked that although his master seemed carefree, he was ultimately a man of deep feelings.

"It's not a matter of life and death. I won't be gone for long. Master, please be strong."

"How will I live without you?"

Shang Wu finally couldn't hold back and ended up looking rather pitiful.

"I'm the only single woman left at the Autumn Water Pavilion, so I have no choice but to mooch food and drinks. I'll likely be rejected and even beaten up..."

"..."

The group leaned back in their stance, drenched in sweat.

Grandma, do you want to hear what you're saying?

Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt very reluctant to part with Li Mo.

With Little Li absent, the King of Brawling of Clear Abyss Sect has returned to the scene... Hiss!

Li Mo: "..."

Ever since the beautiful master failed to break through his Diamond Indestructible with a single punch last time...

It seems they've realized their precious apprentice is growing stronger and stronger, and they might not be able to defeat him in the near future.

The beautiful master changed tactics, resorting to whining...

Li Mo sighed helplessly and took out most of the remaining wine:

"Master, please hold on for a while, I'll be back soon."

Shang Wu, whose mood shifted from cloudy to sunny. "It's fine if it's later."

"Junior brother, I have some picture books here. You can take them and look at them on the way..." Ouyang also offered his own token of appreciation.

Princess Little Jiang was the most reluctant to part with it, and sent two autumn coats and two winter coats.

Big Brother Li used his Head-Patting Divine Skill to coax him for a long time.

"Next time, I'll call upon the Heavenly Venerable in my dreams and request permission to visit your cave abode, then we can meet."

"Um!"

Jiang Chulong pursed her lips and nodded.

A moment later.

Li Mo stood at the entrance of the restaurant, watching the war chariot disappear into the distance, and let out a long sigh.

"They've all gone back, it's good that they've all gone back."

"I'm all alone now..."

Little Li was just reflecting on it.

But then I suddenly realized that I seemed to have forgotten something?

A few seconds later he knew what it was about.

Murong Xiao: "..."

My buddy's still sitting there, covered in dust, looking like a real Buddha statue.

So it wasn't just him who forgot; everyone forgot about him.

"Oh, he hasn't gotten on the bus yet!"

Little Li chased after him.

A moment later, he returned with a helpless expression. After being disturbed like this, the sorrow of parting in his heart had faded considerably.

The Cloud-Stepping Boots are ultimately not meant for long-distance raids; they are better suited for quick maneuvers and agility.

The idea of chasing warships is utter nonsense.

"Murong, it seems you'll have to continue your visits to the Southern Border."

Li Mo patted him on the shoulder.

Murong Xiao has now awakened his bloodline and reached the Profound Pill Realm; this progress is undeniably rapid.

I wonder if there's a reason why Murong Xiao is so suited to Buddhist martial arts...

However, it would still be somewhat dangerous for someone with this level of strength to go to Southern Border.

Moreover, Li Mo didn't know if the two were going the same way.

Snap--

Suddenly, a booklet fell from Murong Xiao's arms.

<Diary>.

"No respectable person keeps a diary..."

Little Li does not have the habit of peeping into other people's privacy.

But the Southern Border is so vast, he has no idea where Murong Xiao is headed.

"Brother Murong, if you don't speak, I'll take that as your agreement."

Li Mo sought his opinion.

Murong Xiao: "..."

It seems he has no objections.

So Little Li opened his diary to the first page:

[I now know where my weakness lies. I have been challenging myself for several days and can begin preparing to break through to the Profound Pill Realm.]

Brother Li is already Hidden Dragon Ranking, while I am still stuck in the Inner Breath Realm. How can I possibly repay him in the future?

[To catch up with Brother Li's figure, and to break through to the Profound Pill realm, starting today, I will abstain from lust!]

It's evident from between the lines.

Murong Xiao made a tremendous decision!

"Brother Murong, oh Brother Murong."

Li Mo chuckled softly, then turned to the next page:

[First day of abstaining from pornography, feels great.]

Turn the page again, and it's still:

[First day of abstaining from pornography. I must resist this time. It's all because Senior Brother Ouyang's art book is too tempting.]

Flip again...

[Day 1 of abstaining from pornography: It's all or nothing!]

Pages four and five contain the same content.

Li Mo: "..."

Even if it wasn't for breaking through to a higher realm.

Brother Murong, you should at least take a day off!

Just then.

Murong Xiao's eyelids twitched.
