Disciple Li Truly Had Such Noble Character; Feedback: Mystic Weapon Artifact Blank
Ah.
Seeing Li Mo's casual expression, Xiao Qin assumed that he was unaware of the item's value.
"Junior Brother Li, this item is useful even for those at the Divine Observation Realm, and even higher realms; it is an extremely precious treasure!"
Thousand Forms Martial Venerable: "..."
If he were given this thing, his Will Soul would be able to recover 30% of its peak strength.
But the apprentice is far too upright.
Well, it's a good thing... If Xiao Qin really had character flaws, he wouldn't have considered him his successor.
Li Mo smiled helplessly.
These days, you have to rack your brains to give people a benefit.
Gift-giving is an art, isn't it?
"So, this thing won't be useful to me in the short term, right?"
"That's true..."
Xiao Qin paused for a moment, then nodded.
Li Mo then said:
"Do you want it?"
"Of course..."
Xiao Qin nodded blankly.
"So, for me right now, is the only value of this item that I can use it to help my friends?"
That's not wrong.
Xiao Qin thought about it and realized that Li Mo's words made a lot of sense, and he couldn't refute them.
Li Mo continued to patiently guide him:
"So, aren't we good friends?"
"Of course!"
Xiao Qin immediately became serious and said.
"Then there's no problem? Take it."
Li Mo smiled broadly and slapped the Yin-Sinking Soul-Nurturing Wood into his hand.
Xiao Qin opened his mouth.
Is that so...?
Something felt off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
The Thousand Forms Martial Venerable was also behaving extremely strangely at this moment.
He was a shrewd and experienced man, and naturally he could tell that his apprentice had been led astray by this young man surnamed Li.
Having lived two lives, this was the first time he had ever seen someone lead another into a ditch just to offer them something in return.
You'd think he was a con artist or a swindler, but he's actually a pretty nice person.
It's absurd.
"Alright, Senior Brother Xiao will achieve great things in the future. At that time, this kind of thing won't be considered precious."
"I'm going to turn in my quest now."
After saying that, Li Mo said no more.
As if afraid that Xiao Qin would return the things to him, he turned and left.
"No wonder everyone in the sect says that Junior Brother Li is of noble character and has the spirit of an ancient sage."
Compared to him, what kind of upright and honest person am I?
As Xiao Qin watched that dashing figure depart, a mix of emotions welled up within him. He already felt indebted to Brother Li, and now he felt even more indebted.
But since Junior Brother Li had already said so, he really couldn't refuse anymore.
Besides, Master really needs this item.
"Hmph, you still have thoughts about this old man?"
In my mind.
The Thousand Forms Martial Venerable snorted.
"Master, this disciple meant no other thing..."
Xiao Qin was somewhat embarrassed.
"Alright, I know your nature."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't dare entrust my life to you."
The Thousand Forms Martial Venerable was not truly angered.
Instead, he continued:
"That young Li is indeed someone worth getting to know better, and... he himself is quite extraordinary."
"Try harder and see if you can catch up with him."
Xiao Qin was about to nod when he was suddenly taken aback.
How to catch up with Junior Brother Li?
He can be said to have broken through and rebuilt himself, dispersing his cultivation and starting anew, and now he has finally reached the perfected twelve meridians of the Blood-Qi Realm.
Surely Junior Brother Li couldn't have condensed Internal Breath?
Seeing what his foolish disciple was thinking, Thousand Forms Martial Venerable said:
"More amazing than you can imagine."
"Although he hasn't condensed his Internal Breath, he has traveled much further than you on the path to the Blood-Qi Realm. I don't know the exact number of meridians, but it's definitely far more than twelve."
Thousand Forms Martial Venerable was, after all, a giant in his own right.
Now, Will Soul remains, and its perception is far beyond that of ordinary people.
"More than twelve meridians?"
Xiao Qin was caught off guard by something he hadn't been able to comprehend.
"When it comes to martial arts, you're still a frog in a well."
"As created by nature, each person indeed only has twelve main meridians."
"But some people are born with extraordinary talent and a foundation far exceeding that of ordinary people. I myself once possessed fifteen major scriptures, far surpassing those of others in the same realm."
The Thousand Forms Martial Venerable's calm voice carried an air of arrogance.
He had barely finished speaking.
The voice of that steward from earlier could be heard coming from the External Affairs Hall:
"Verification confirmed."
"True Disciple Li Mo has hunted down a criminal at the Internal Breath Condensing-Qi Realm. Reward: 5,000 contribution points!"
Internal Breath Condensing-Qi Realm!
Xiao Qin's spirits lifted, and his eyes widened.
He was still feeling a little smug about his impending breakthrough to the Inner Breath Realm. His junior brother Li was already able to kill a vicious thug in the Qi Condensation Realm?
Terrifying!
"Yes, as expected, he's probably comparable to me back in my day."
"In that case, Ying Bing is even more exaggerated. No wonder she's still only at the Blood-Qi Realm."
The Thousand Forms Martial Venerable spoke with great seriousness.
"Then how can I possibly catch up with Junior Brother Li?"
Xiao Qin suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
He had a teacher guiding him, yet he still fell so far behind.
Won't we fall further and further behind in the future?
"Hehehe... While innate talent is certainly important, who says one can't surpass others before the future is decided?"
The Thousand Forms Martial Venerable's intention was to put pressure on his disciple, not to make him lose his ambition.
And so, as if possessed by divine revelation, he spoke:
"What I'm most proud of isn't those fifteen main meridians, but the <Thousand Forms Art>!"
"Once you reach the Divine Observation Realm, you will naturally understand its mysteries."
"Um!"
Xiao Qin clenched his fists, his fighting spirit rekindled.
If I can't even catch up to Junior Brother Li's back in the future, how will I repay him?
External Affairs Hall.
"Qi and Blood Slashing Internal Breath? Is this the True Disciple?"
"Hmph, don't take Li's kindness for granted and think he's just a nice guy."
"Why is Senior Brother Li so strong?"
"You forgot, his master is Elder Shang Wu."
"I understand now."
He greeted several familiar disciples.
Little Li was quite happy.
It wasn't because of the 5,000 contribution points that had just arrived, but because of a notification from the system.
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully invested in a piece of 'Xiao Qin' Yin-Sinking Soul-Nurturing Wood.]
[Investment Feedback: One Mystic Weapon embryo.]
[Mystic Weapon Embryo]: "Can generate a similar top-grade Mystic Weapon based on the weapon template provided by the host."
Although Little Li was reluctant to talk about it, he had to admit it.
What he lacks now is a suitable hammer.
With his current level of cultivation, he couldn't even lift the divine weapon, let alone use it.
Even with a powerful physique and the ability to harness the power of the world, it can only be used as a trump card.
With this Mystic Weapon prototype, we can then use the Calamity Meteor Hammer as a template to create a 'replica'.
"Disciple Li, is there anything you wish to exchange?"
The inner sect steward, seeing him standing there, assumed he was trying to change something.
"Some."
"I need some exotic beast meat."
Li Mo snapped out of his daze and nodded.
"Oh?"
The inner sect steward was somewhat surprised, but then said:
"Although the effects of exotic beast meat are not as good as those of elixirs, it has the advantage of being substantial and free of the toxicity of elixirs. It seems that Disciple Li has considered things very far ahead."
"Do you need to refine your Qi and Blood, strengthen your physique, or break through to a higher realm?"
"I want something delicious."
