Setting Off for the Hanging Temple, Hope of the Aquatic Clan!

Blackwater Marsh is shrouded in continuous rain all year round, and today is no exception.

The pavilions and towers are shrouded in mist by the rain, and the lake ripples with countless waves.

In a courtyard, before a water vat with similar ripples, the face of the young man, a newly Sky Dragon of the Cry Dragon Clan was famous Southern Border, and his body gleaming with dark light were reflected.

"The Three Treasures Ganoderma lucidum is finished."

"The Spirit Tiger Bone-Strengthening Pill... Hmm, I've finished that too."

Li Mo looked at the empty jade bottle and box in the System Space and sighed silently.

He bought up almost all the Body Tempering Rare Pills from Yun Province Hengtong Trading Firm.

To be fair, the products from Hengtong Trading Firm are of good quality.

Well... that's assuming we don't compare it to the feedback that appears on the Ice Block.

Not to mention the Ice Block, even they pale in comparison to the feedback given by Princess Little Jiang.

Therefore, Little Li could only compensate for quality with quantity.

This would result in enormous consumption.

Moreover, to Supreme Lore the pinnacle of a martial art of external martial arts, the amount of hard work required to progress from perfection to mastery is more than all the previous efforts combined.

The progress in understanding Divine Intent has also slowed down considerably.

Little Li wanted to take another step forward in the competition for the Celestial Heavenly Jade.

The current progress is not ideal.

The progress is equivalent to that of an ordinary person who is wealthy, exceptionally talented, and otherwise unremarkable.

Oh, right.

He recently received many gifts, but very few of them are actually useful...

Thump--

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Upon opening the door, one sees a young girl from the Clam Clan standing there, holding a bright pearl, which is clearly larger than the previous ones.

Zhen Bang's face flushed crimson.

"Wu Mo, this is for you!"

"This bead is of good quality."

Li Mo nodded, intending to take out gold from his System Space to exchange for it.

But then Zhen Bang lowered her head and said:

"This one is free. An elder from the clan asked me to bring it to you as a betrothal gift..."

"..."

Little Li's hand trembled, and he almost dropped the pearl.

This isn't the first time.

As is widely known, the Demon Race reveres bloodlines, and the stronger the bloodline, the more outstanding the offspring will be.

Therefore, as a rising star of the Cry Dragon Clan, Xiao Cry Dragon's popularity is simply terrifying.

"We two will definitely be able to create an exceptionally outstanding Dragon-Clam!"

"Wait, I'm quite satisfied with this gem, but..."

"Yay! Lord Wu Mo said he's very satisfied with me!"

"Can you let me finish what I have to say? I come from outside the Southern Border, I'm a traditional dragon, we have no emotional connection..."

Despite his great effort, Li Mo was unsure whether the other party could understand his meaning.

Zhen Bang truly didn't understand.

In the understanding of the Demon Race, as long as a powerful bloodline is satisfied with the gift offered, it means they agree to keep their offspring. This is how the Cry Dragon clan operates.

What is the foundation of an emotional bond?

So after all that talking, Zhen Bang only remembered one sentence:

"Lord Wu Mo said he is very satisfied with me!"

Her face flushed, she turned around and ran away in a flash.

Li Mo: "Σ( °△°|||)"

Is it also the power of your bloodline that you only hear what you want to hear?

Did you do it on purpose or accidentally?

Looking at the pile of gifts in the room, Li Mo sighed, took out the Wukong Seeking the Dao Diagram, and began to study its Divine Intent.

Afternoon.

There was another knock on the door; it was Murong Xiao and his family of three.

When Li Mo first took Murong Xiao to meet Murong Feng and Wu Qing, something unexpected happened.

The couple, who had been pressured by their clan to have a second child, were quite surprised by Murong Xiao's arrival.

It wasn't them who sent the message summoning Murong Xiao to the Southern Border.

Adding to the coincidence, the rebel army, unusually not fleeing deeper into the Southern Border, happened to capture Murong Xiao...

Little Li found this matter suspicious.

This is also why he has been making the most of every second to improve himself lately.

Although there is no direct evidence, the presence of the Demon Summoning Cult in Southern Border suggests that this trip to the Hanging Temple will likely not be peaceful.

The family of three clearly showed concern for each other and spent some time together tenderly.

"If it weren't for you, my husband and I probably wouldn't have seen Xiao'er again for a long time."

Wu Qing's eyes reddened; she had already learned of Murong Xiao's ordeal on the road, and this fifth-rank demon couldn't help but shed tears again.

But she was unaware that the Sky Dragon before her was originally a human.

"I was already coming to the Southern Border; I was just traveling with Brother Murong along the way."

Li Mo smiled, somewhat embarrassed.

I originally wanted Brother Murong to go directly back to Clear Abyss Sect.

Thank you.

Murong Feng also bowed.

"You flatter me. I have long admired you, Uncle."

"You know me? I made a name for myself when I was young, but that's all been so long..."

Murong Feng was somewhat puzzled as to where this admiration came from.

Perhaps it was just polite talk?

"Sigh, I'm naturally happy that Xiao'er is back, but... Xiao'er is, after all, a half-demon." Murong Feng sighed again with a complicated expression.

Li Mo thought about it.

That's not right.

As a half-demon, it would be better for him to stay within the Cry Dragon Clan, since the Demon Race not only has no prejudice against half-demons, but also greatly admires their powerful strength.

Judging from Murong Feng's words, he clearly felt that Murong Xiao would be safer staying in human territory?

"It is Xiao'er's fortuitous opportunity to be able to learn Buddhism."

Looking at her son's bald head and the White Jade Sarira in his palm, Wu Qing felt a slight sense of relief.

The couple had something on their minds.

But perhaps they felt that this was not something young people should be concerned with, so they didn't say anything more.

Moreover, this is not a recent occurrence.

The Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye is not a mind-reading ability; it cannot possibly know what others are thinking.

"Since Xiao Wu Mo and the others are also heading to the Hanging Temple, we might as well go with them."

When do we depart?

"Of course it's today, otherwise why would I have come to inform you?"

The Cry Dragon clan is known for its decisive and swift actions; they leave whenever they want, which is probably why they are often described as having an impatient temperament.

That day, the other four Aquatic Clan geniuses, including Wu Dameng, were already waiting by the lake.

The Hanging Temple is quite far from the Blackwater Marsh, located in the westernmost part of Southern Border, but fortunately there is a waterway accessible from it.

A huge Fish Bone Ship was moored at the shore.

"Our Aquatic Clan hasn't managed to obtain the Heavenly Jade for many years."

"The Avian Clan is quite powerful this time. The Roc Clan has a half-demon Zhi Duoluo, who possesses half-demon blood. Not only is his bloodline powerful, but he also knows human martial arts. If you were to encounter him, would you be confident?"

The other four demons glanced at the boy not far away, who was examining the Fish Bone Ship.

Without hesitation, they all nodded.

"Have!"

"Yes, there's also the Green Phoenix Clan. They produced a Green Phoenix Goddess who slew many ferocious and monstrous Calamity Beasts. Her strength is even more terrifying than that of Zhi Duoluo. Do you have confidence?"

The four demons, including Wu Dameng, were stunned for a moment.

This time they pondered for a long time.

But then I suddenly remembered Sky Dragon Wu Mo had once said.

With just a slight move, the Green Phoenix Goddess would be unable to resist!

"Have!"

"Brother Wu Mo possesses the potential to become Sky Dragon!"

"They have the Green Phoenix Goddess, and we have the Sky Dragon guarding us. What is there to fear!"

"The time for our Aquatic Clan to finally stand tall has come! I wonder what kind of Dragon-Phoenix Strife it will be then."

All the Aquatic Clan were very confident.

"Um?"

Li Mo turned around blankly, and after some thought, felt a pang of regret.

I should have toned it down a bit.

This suddenly became the hope of the Aquatic Clan, quite unexpectedly.
