Licking Fingers Is a Bad Habit, Ice Block Breaks Through

"She really is a beautiful and good friend."

Li Mo examined the long, slender sword, which resembled the moon shining on frost, and stroked his chin.

He had already found a good friend for Hammer Treasure, and it wasn't just empty promises to fool him. But why did Hammer Treasure have to go play with Little Moon right now, just when it was time for dual cultivation? What was he going to do now that another hammer had suddenly appeared in his pocket?

But even the Ice Block brought out its best friend.

The divine weapon and its master are connected in some way, so the Hammer Treasure in the Small World has been excitedly spinning around several times.

I, the fourth-ranked Hidden Dragon, surely can withstand this little test?

With unwavering resolve, Little Li gritted his teeth, channeled the power of the world, and retrieved the Hammer Treasure.

"Hammer Treasure is a bit fierce, carrying the sharp edge of a warrior... Hmm?"

The Hammer Treasure quiet, as if it were just shyly repairing itself, and the buzzing sound of vibration seemed to be greeting it.

At this moment, Moon-in-Mid-Autumn also left the palm of the Ice Block.

The two weapons resonated with each other, like two whales searching for each other's rhythm.

Surprisingly, it's quite harmonious.

Upon seeing this, a gentle light appeared in Ice Block's eyes.

"Hello, my name is Hammer Treasure ~" he said in a deep voice.

"Hello, my Little Moon," she said softly.

Let's go jellyfish catching together!

"?"

Ying Bing turned around and saw Li Mo sitting on the Cold Marrow Jade Bed. He was the one who had vividly narrated the conversation between the two divine weapons.

"Are they really saying those things?"

"The content isn't important, as long as the meaning is roughly right."

Li Mo was actually quite curious as well.

Of the hundred prodigies on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, only he wields a hammer.

It's said that the sword is the king of weapons, the spear is the queen of weapons, and the knife is the courage of weapons... Other weapons have their own nicknames, so what is the hammer among weapons?

"Weapons are not as complex as people."

Ying Bing spoke, she pulled up a stool and sat down, placing her delicate, fragrant hand into Li Mo's palm.

"Ice Block, aren't you coming to bed?"

Ying Bing's deep gaze held a mixture of reproach and resentment.

"But you don't have a hammer in your pocket anymore."

"???"

Li Mo gently rubbed Cold Fairy's icy little hands, and an image flashed before his eyes: the Ice Block cradled in his arms, her silver teeth gently biting as if she wanted to bite him...

So, the Ice Block that said she was going to find friends for her divine weapon as soon as she came in—was she waiting here?

Her deep, melancholic gaze seemed to say:

"Without Hammer Treasure, how would you explain what's in your pocket?"

"... You said you wanted to find friends for Hammer Treasure, so that's what it is."

Li Mo suspected that he had been tricked by Ice Block, but he had no proof.

"Didn't we agree on this a long time ago?" Ying Bing asked expressionlessly, tilting her head slightly.

Ice Block doesn't quite understand what you're saying. jpg

Little Li a little suspicious and still felt something was wrong, but just as he opened his mouth to ask, a Bodhi fruit was stuffed into his mouth.

To enhance the effects of dual cultivation, Li Mo would always prepare some small fruits, such as Soul-Cleansing Bodhi Fruit...

"Let's practice." Ying Bing picked up a pill herself.

This heavenly materials and earthly treasures is not as effective as elixirs, but its advantage lies in the fact that it has no side effects.

Moreover, the flavor is refreshing and delicious.

Li Mo had a fruit in his mouth, which didn't affect his speech. "So..."

"One isn't enough?"

Ying Bing stuffed the fruit into his mouth again, her fingertips glistening with moisture.

"But..."

"You have a good appetite today."

"Mmm..."

So, Little Li's cheeks puffed out, and he stammered, unable to speak.

My mouth is watering!

Ying Bing pursed her lips, a hint of pleasure in her eyes, but perhaps because she suddenly felt relaxed, she inexplicably licked her fingertips.

She was stunned after licking him; perhaps it was because spring had arrived, for a blush had appeared on her fair neck from the heat.

"!"

Li Mo was startled, but unfortunately he couldn't speak.

Therefore, today's dual cultivation, as always, proceeded in a very... tortuous manner.

Li Mo once wondered, how could the dignified leader of the God Summoning Cult Sect, a powerful figure who had comprehended the Great Dao of Yin and Yang, have fallen to the level of the ancestor of the Joyous Union Sect?

Now he understands; he was too young.

If it weren't for that Immortal Spirit Qi, I probably would have gone astray on the very first day.

After all, how many cadres can withstand such a test...?

Time passed.

The moon hangs high in the sky, the time when the Divine Intent of the Taiyin is at its peak.

Sitting on the bed, Li Mo suddenly felt a familiar yet strange fluctuation, getting closer and closer to the Taiyin Divine Intent in his Small World, like an eternally flowing bright light illuminating the past and the future.

Ice Block... is it about to break through?

Li Mo opened his eyes and saw Ying Bing in front of him, whose brow was adorned with a divine mark that shone brightly, making her appear mysterious and noble.

She could feel the Yin and Yang energies transforming into nourishment for her Will Soul, constantly impacting the acupoints of the seventh aperture under her control.

Without needing to say more, Li Mo naturally knew what she needed.

The true essence and the yang energy accumulated in the body were ignited in an instant.

For some reason, he suddenly had a feeling similar to when he used to play video games. He pushed down the crystal, and then, face-first, he mashed all his skills on the keyboard...

Finally, the crystal exploded!

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully invested in 'Ying Bing', helping her break through to the Seven Apertures of Divine Observation.]

[Investment Feedback: Yellow Dragon Divine Observation Diagram]

Victory appeared before him... no, a flawless, jade-like face. Ice Block was looking at him; her breakthrough had filled her clear, moonlit eyes, like the Taiyin watching over the world.

But she pursed her lips and lowered her eyes again:

"It's my turn to help you."

"Just do your best, there's no need to force it."

Li Mo was only a hair's breadth away from Seven Apertures of Divine Observation.

The problem is that the Great Sage Divine Intent cannot be observed; it can only be improved through battle.

However, the Great Sage Divine Intent and the Taiyin Divine Intent must advance simultaneously for him to break through to the next realm.

Ying Bing nodded slightly and touched Li Mo's brow with her fingertip.

Autumn Water Pavilion under the cover of night.

A faint bell rang at the courtyard gate. Tian Miao had been staying at Clear Abyss Sect for quite some time, and she had important matters to attend to, so she planned to leave tonight.

But she stopped abruptly as soon as she reached the courtyard gate.

"The fluctuations of the Taiyin Divine Intent..."

She turned to look at the boudoir on the second floor. "Ying Bing has broken through again?"

Tian Miao took a deep breath. Well, her early departure wasn't entirely due to something.

Staying here day after day is too much for my heart.

Putting aside everything else, the fact that their cultivation levels are rising like rockets every day is enough to make one's Dao heart unstable.

It should be noted that Ying Bing and Li Mo are not only young, but they have only been practicing martial arts for a year at most.

At this time.

The faint fluctuations gradually subsided, and no further breakthroughs were reported.

"They should be practicing dual cultivation."

"However, Cold Fairy broke through to a higher realm, but Li Mo did not."

Tian Miao breathed a sigh of relief.

She took out another piece of paper and wrote it down.

She changed Cold Fairy's cultivation level to the Seven Apertures of Divine Observation, while Li Mo's cultivation level remained unchanged, only with some additional notes:

'He's a great cook and is currently practicing weapon forging; he might become a master craftsman someday.'
