Taking Ice Block Shopping, Madam Li's Ultimate Move!

"Recently, there are even more people in the world of martial arts in Qinghe County."

Li Mo looked towards the bustling street; the group in front of him was clearly a group of swordsmen from Yun Province.

Each of them carried a long sword, their white robes fluttering in the wind, and shivered in the heavy snow like quails, but that didn't stop them from thinking they were very cool.

Internal Breath artist can dispel the cold by circulating their Internal Breath, but no good person would keep their Internal Breath circulating for all twelve hours of the day.

Unless you have seven Profound Pill like Little Li.

"Brother Li...?"

Li Mo was wondering if the special effects had been a bit too over-the-top lately when someone suddenly called out to him from ahead—it was an old acquaintance.

These were none other than the renowned Three Heroes of Cloud-Crossing: Wu Chushu, Cao Mu, Bai Jinghong.

What are you doing here?

"Are you also planning to go to Lanke Mountain to find out what's going on? A few days ago, ten thousand swords soared into the sky there, a truly earth-shattering sight."

"The sight of ten thousand swords soaring through the air is impressive, but it's become too common. Personally, I prefer today's 'Heaven and Earth Furnace Refines the Great Sun'."

Li Mo nodded and gave a brief evaluation of his recent work.

Cao Mu: "?"

Wu Chushu: "??"

Bai Jinghong: "..."

How did he know so much detail? He even knew the exact nature of today's unusual phenomena...

Seeing the strange looks on the three men's faces, Li Mo coughed lightly.

"It's almost Chinese New Year, and you're still going to Lanke Mountain?"

Bai Jinghong shook his head, maintaining the demeanor of a solitary swordsman:

"Brother Li, you haven't been idle this New Year, have you?"

Li Mo and Ying Bing, who had never even made it onto the Hidden Dragon Ranking before, are now both ranked in the top five!

Which of the top talents on the Hidden Dragon Ranking wouldn't want to compete for the number one spot?

However, the top spot belongs to Jiang Yu, the crown Crown Prince of Great Yu. He is exceptionally talented, and people say he is comparable to his Grand Ancestor, Martial Emperor. He also enjoys the best resources in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and has an entire dynasty as his backing.

He stands atop the list, like an insurmountable chasm.

To surpass him, talent and hard work go without saying, unless there's an extraordinary fortuitous opportunity of luck involved.

The preservation of the legacy of Lanke Mountain has become, in the eyes of many, an incredible opportunity.

"I'm quite busy."

Li Mo looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, his face as cold and aloof as Ice Block.

Well, tonight I'm going to have a dual cultivation session with Ice Block to discuss what special effects to use tomorrow, and I also need to teach Princess Little Jiang.

During the day, I have to ride the Somersault Cloud to Lanke Mountain to add special effects. With the New Year approaching, I also have to maintain the Power of All Living Beings of the various tribes in the Southern Border.

He is either displaying his divine abilities in front of others, or on his way to displaying them.

Little Li is a little tired.

Wu Chushu reveals caution:

"It seems Brother Li has made ample preparations."

"Of course, otherwise how could we have a peaceful New Year?"

Li Mo said this as if it were the most natural thing in the world, but suddenly felt something was off.

emmm

Where's my Ice Block?

They were just holding hands a moment ago, how come they disappeared in the blink of an eye?

Li Mo was looking up when he suddenly noticed that Bai Jinghong and the other two were staring at his back as if they had seen a ghost.

It's the Lunar New Year, surely it can't be that spooky?

Little Li's heart tightened, and when he turned around, his expression froze.

Ying Bing, dressed in red, was carrying a tiger head in her hand—or rather, a tiger head hat, somewhat like something a child would wear, and quite adorable.

Her cool and aloof face, paired with the newly made red dress, made her even more stunning. She carefully pinched the tiger-head hat twice.

"Li Mo, is this pretty?"

"We don't have any children in our family."

"Do you like it?" Ying Bing asked softly, holding the tiger-head hat.

Li Mo was speechless. "I probably couldn't even fit them in..."

So Ying Bing took the tiger-head hat and put it on his head, and it actually went in.

Thus, the handsome Little Li got a new Lunar New Year skin.

Limited edition Divine Hammer Little Overlord Tiger Head Hat.

Li Mo: "..."

He couldn't even imagine what his introduction on the next Hidden Dragon Ranking would look like if the people from the Heaven Derivation Sect saw it.

"Ten taels of silver isn't expensive..."

Ying Bing tugged at the tiger whiskers on his head, straightened them for him, and murmured.

"Take the young master?"

Ten taels.

"This hat is so real, it'd be worth ten taels of silver. Which stall did you buy it from? Even a celestial being wouldn't ask for such an exorbitant price. Come on, let's go find him. I'll back you up."

Do you really think he's Little Demon King of Qinghe County's just sitting around doing nothing?!

Li Mo only took two steps.

She turned back, took the small hand of the cool, Ice Block, said goodbye to the Three Heroes of Cloud-Crossing, and then left.

Ying Bing looked at the three men and felt they looked somewhat familiar. She wanted to say hello, but then realized she couldn't remember Three Heroes of Cloud-Crossing names at all.

And so it turned into a cold, indifferent glance, followed by a graceful turn and departure...

"..."

Bai Jinghong, Wu Chushu, and Cao Mu fell into deep thought, feeling that everything happening before their eyes was somewhat surreal.

A moment of silence.

Cao Mu, holding his sword, said, "Li Mo and Ying Bing have probably made a lot of preparations for the fortuitous opportunity at Lanke Mountain. What we've seen may just be the surface."

"Yes, they might be secretly preparing some methods to seize the fortuitous opportunity in one fell swoop."

Bai Jinghong often secretly practiced swordsmanship diligently in her spare time.

He then told Wu Chushu and Cao Mu that he was listening to music in a brothel to put their minds at ease, but unfortunately, he was discovered later.

Because Wu Chushu really did listen to music in brothels every day.

Wu Chushu crossed his arms and squinted as he watched the two figures disappear into the distance.

As everyone knows, Li Mo has always been superior to him in terms of public displays of power, and his actions in the Southern Border are renowned throughout the world.

He was very curious about how Li Mo and Ying Bing both made it into the top five of the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

"Should we follow them and see?"

"Yes, we can learn from others' experiences."

"I'm also very curious about how they usually manage to make such progress."

The three of them followed, and soon they saw Li Mo and Ying Bing again on the bustling and noisy street.

Li Mo was holding Ying Bing's hand, standing in front of a hat stall.

"Ten taels of silver? Isn't that a bit too much, boss?"

"Hey, Brother Li, how much do you want?"

The stall owner clearly knew Li Mo, and his tone was somewhat guilty.

Li Mo made an 'eight' gesture.

"Eight taels?"

"Eight coins."

"Brother Li, how can you bargain like that?!"

The stall owner's vision went black for a moment, then his expression turned serious.

In Li Mo, he saw a figure that struck fear into the hearts of all the small vendors on the street.

Gu Xueqin!

Then.

The scene inexplicably ignited.

Li Mo and the stall owner embarked on a thrilling and nerve-wracking bargaining session.

"..."

A hint of doubt appeared in Ying Bing's clear eyes.

Ten taels of silver, let alone ten taels of gold, meant nothing to him.

But the way he bargained made it seem like he was competing with a peerless martial arts master.

"It's only one tael and four mace. If you can make it cheaper, I'll take two. I'm leaving now, no more sales."

Finally, Little Li used the "no sale, no take" tactic and successfully won them over.

He turned to look at the Ice Block, smiled, and raised his chin, like a victorious general.

Ying Bing pursed her lips, took out a money jar from the Big-Headed Doll, and started counting the silver coins inside.

As she counted the silver, a hint of pleasure flashed in her lowered, cool eyes.

"So you can actually bargain."

Of course.

Li Mo paid the money and then took a white cat hat from the stall.

The stall owner said with a sour smile, "Madam Li is a formidable bargainer; I'm always afraid of her when she comes around."

Upon hearing this, Ying Bing's eyes trembled slightly, and she looked at Li Mo, who was fiddling with a white cat fur hat.

"Li Mo."

"Um?"

I want to learn too.
