On the way back to Senluo Valley, Yuwen Cuojin studied the instant Instant Noodles recipe.

When the immortal gave them the recipe, he had only one request.

That is, regardless of the method, whether it's sales or bestowal, the font size of "Heavenly Venerable Brand" must be used.

Yuwen Cuojin is starting to come to his senses.

"If we succeed in doing this, wouldn't a significant portion of the Power of All Living Beings be attributed to the Heavenly Venerable?"

"According to Luo Yexian, that immortal is usually elusive, but today he happens to be in the Southern Border, specifically in Three Mountains Town, the first place he'll begin preaching..."

"He was waiting for me! And this recipe was prepared long ago?! He's using me to expand his influence?"

Thinking of this, Yuwen Cuojin couldn't help but gasp again at the smell of instant Instant Noodles seasoning.

What a deep scheme!

It seems like nothing was done, and everything happened naturally, but in reality, every step was under the other party's control!

What's even more terrifying is that what he saw was probably only the tip of the iceberg. The Myriad Phenomena Immortal Sect, which had been dormant for many years, suddenly began spreading its teachings throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and its ambitions were probably far greater!

No wonder he's someone even the Cloud Dream Ancestral God was willing to chop green onions for!

"Send this formula to the Blood Refinement Hall first."

"Let's see if they can make Heavenly Venerable Sauce..."

As time passed, the three great suns gradually sank into the Clear Abyss Mountain Range.

The last rays of the setting sun, unwilling to let go, shone on the leaves of the banyan tree in the courtyard, causing the last withered leaf to fall and flutter down, landing on a delicate, slender hand.

But it was as if there was an invisible veil separating them, and the withered leaf slipped away.

Ying Bing sat under the banyan tree, her skin not only fair but also tinged with a jade-like hue.

She changed into a white bathrobe, but her body, partially obscured by the robe, was outlined in black. The bathrobe was clearly shorter than the Moonlit Skirt, so a section of her calf was exposed, and the leg wrapped in the Black Cloud Gauze was breathtakingly beautiful.

That expressionless face, too, presented a mixture of light and shadow in the twilight, half serene and beautiful, half stained with the makeup of the night.

Her gaze seemed to be fixed on the courtyard gate, as if she were waiting for someone...

Suddenly, footsteps sounded.

"Worn out."

But it was the leader of the Qin sect who walked in. She glanced at Ying Bing's attire and then looked somewhat surprised:

"Little Bing, have you practiced a body-tempering martial art?"

"Hmm, I tried it briefly."

"A little?"

Qin Yuzhi thought to herself, "This is already the basics."

No one can master physical training on the first day; it's a miracle if you don't injure yourself.

Looking at Ying Bing's attire, she asked curiously:

Why are you wearing a yukata?

"Soaking in a hot spring after body tempering will help with recovery."

"Inside..."

"It's my training clothes; I didn't have time to change."

Qin Yuzhi was taken aback. "Then why aren't you going yet...? What are you waiting for?"

"I'll be there right away."

Ice Block sipped his tea nonchalantly, indicating that his reason for soaking in the hot spring was quite simple.

Qin Yuzhi stretched and said, "I heard that soaking in hot springs is great for relieving fatigue. I was really tired today. That kid Li Mo doesn't treat me like an employee; he treats me like an animal!"

Even her Dream Escape couldn't be used dozens or hundreds of times in a single day!

Who knows what kind of magic that kid used? He can go wherever he wants, it's just a pity he can't take anyone with him when he moves around.

"I'll go for a soak too, Little Bing, wanna come together?"

I like someone.

"??"

Qin Yuzhi then remembered that her Little Li had said that Ice Block was waiting for him to take a bath.

Now, Little Bing herself says she likes someone.

Which of you is lying?

Leader Qin believed that Li Mo was lying, after all, that kid was really good at bluffing.

"You go to the bar first, I'm going back to my room to rest for a while."

Ying Bing pulled her bathrobe down a bit, slipped her black-stockinged, snow-white feet into her shoes, and went upstairs.

She opened the window and saw steaming water vapor rising from the artificial hill of the Mist Flower Ageless Spring.

Little Li was completely unaware that his unintentional actions had yielded unexpected results.

He has already visited the remaining towns, but he skipped the part about cooking braised beef noodles on the spot.

The raw materials were given to the locals so they could process them themselves.

After a busy day, it was getting dark.

"An extra layer?"

At the entrance of the Autumn Water Pavilion, Li Mo took out the Empty-Bright Myriad-Color Pagoda and discovered an unexpected gain.

But then I thought about it again.

The higher one's spiritual level, the more Power of All Living Beings.

Therefore, it's hard to say that the rise of this level in the Empty-Bright Myriad-Color Pagoda wasn't due to contributions from the Demon Summoning Cult Sect.

We're a little closer to the projected Great Dao Divine Form.

Unfortunately, the Demon Summoning Cult ultimately cannot be brought into the light, otherwise I would have liked to develop them into a subordinate of the Myriad Phenomena Immortal Sect.

Shaking his head, Li Mo's vision cleared, and he saw the gate of the Autumn Water Pavilion again.

However, he did not see Ice Block in the courtyard.

At the table under the banyan tree, only Qin Yuzhi was there, carving bamboo slips with a carving knife. She hadn't yet learned how to use a pen.

"Hey, the big conman is back."

"???"

Li Mo coughed lightly and said seriously, "What do you mean by 'deceiving'? Gentleman's Sincere Heart Bamboo acknowledges that I am a virtuous person, and everything I say is true."

"Who said that? You clearly lied to me today." Qin Yuzhi huffed in dissatisfaction.

What did I tell you?

Qin Yuzhi said irritably, "You said Little Bing was waiting for you to take a bath together, but you were in a hurry to get back to the Autumn Water Pavilion. You used that excuse to make me hurry up. You even fooled your own people. That's really too much."

"???"

A question mark appeared above Little Li's head, "Is this true? I made plans with her to admire the moon at the Mist Flower Ageless Spring."

"So Little Bing lied to me."

"What did Ice Block say?"

Qin Yuzhi had a knowing look on her face. "She said she took a bath because it improved her physique and because she liked being alone."

Li Mo pondered for a moment and asked, "What did the Ice Block look like when you came back?"

"Wearing a bathrobe, and underneath there seems to be something black... what was it again? Oh right, a training uniform."

Qin Yuzhi began to describe it.

It must be said, dreamers have an excellent ability to describe things vividly.

Li Mo leaned back slightly.

Training clothes...

What kind of practice clothes include socks?

"Based on my experience, the person talking to you isn't Ice Block."

Who is that?

"It's a bad Ice Block."

"???"

Qin Yuzhi recalled the scene she had seen in Ying Bing's dream.

So who's fooling her? She can't tell, she really can't tell!

At this moment, Little Li went up to the second floor.

As expected, Ice Block's room was empty.

But... the window was open.

The Ice Block that returned to the Autumn Water Pavilion wasn't in the courtyard or in its room, so where else could it be?

"Singapore, I'm so full!"

Li Mo curled the corners of his lips and pushed up sunglasses that weren't actually there.

The rotten Ice Block managed to deceive everyone and kept its promise!

Since that's the case...

You should also sneak into the spring quietly, without firing a shot.

So, Little Li stepped onto the windowsill and flew out of the window.

The goal is the summit of the artificial mountain covered in water vapor!
