Xiangliu!
"Immortal Master, may I ask you a question?"
Upon hearing Chen Mo's words, the old man turned his head.
What do you want to ask?
Chen Mo: "What level are you at?"
The old man's eyes flashed upon hearing this. "Hmm... I have been cultivating for over sixty years, but I am stuck at the early stage of Foundation Establishment and cannot make any further progress."
"As for what the early stage of Foundation Establishment is, you will find out later if you are lucky."
Early stage of Foundation Establishment.
The Second Tier is the initial phase.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo suddenly opened his mouth and reached down to his throat, actually managing to pull out a golden pill from his throat.
"Immortal Master, to be honest, I did kill him, but I hope you can hear my reasons for killing him."
"The person I killed did not have the Geng Metal Physique from birth, but rather because he took this kind of elixir."
"I found this elixir on him and gave one to my younger brother. As you can see, my brother has also become Geng Metal Physique."
What?!
The old man took the golden pill from Chen Mo's hand. "You said they obtained their Geng Metal Physique by consuming this pill?"
"How is this possible?"
"I have never heard of such a pill before!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo glanced at Li Chengyi and said, "Isn't he the best proof?"
The old man looked at Li Chengyi. Yes, it was already strange enough that there were two Geng Metal Physique in one village...
Golden Elixir, if consumed, can grant one the Geng Metal Physique?
The old man frowned as he looked at the golden pill in his hand. At that moment, the people outside started shouting.
"Immortal Master, I told you, this boy killed my son, you must..."
"Shut up!"
The old man's rebuke immediately silenced the chattering crowd.
Golden Core...
If I possess the Geng Metal Physique, perhaps I can advance even further—no, more than just further; advancing to the Core Formation stage in my lifetime might not be entirely impossible!
Although it was a bit disgusting that this golden pill was dug out of Chen Mo's throat.
But if what he said is true...
The old man opened his mouth, brought the golden elixir to his lips, but then stopped.
No...
This stuff is of dubious origin and highly suspicious; it shouldn't be taken so easily...
The old man was thinking about it, but unexpectedly, the golden core suddenly turned into an insect and flew straight into his mouth!
"Ugh!"
This is!
The old man grabbed his own neck, his big eyes wide open, "What... what did you give me?!"
Chen Mo smiled faintly upon hearing this, and the old man's vision gradually became blurred.
From his perspective, eyes began to grow on Chen Mo's face, covering his entire face like a spider.
His body was riddled with holes, his intestines were rotting, and a large number of rotting, maggot-like creatures were wriggling and frantically crawling out of his torn abdomen!
Insect!
They're all bugs!
"You... what kind of monster are you..." The old man stretched out his hand with difficulty, but after taking only two steps, he knelt down on the ground with a thud.
Chen Mo did not speak, but instead snapped his fingers.
The next second, the old man got up in a strange way.
His joints twisted erratically as he crawled to his feet, revealing a terrifying smile.
"Hehehe..."
The onlookers behind them gasped in shock at what they saw.
Chen Mo glanced at them, then said softly, "Capture them all, alive."
The old man grinned, then fell backwards on all fours and pounced out!
"Yes, sir!"
The next day, the sky cleared.
The entire village was tied up in one place, and the immortal Immortal Master stood to the side, bending over and watching. Thick liquid kept flowing from his mouth, and his pupils had turned green at some point.
Looking at the scene before him Li Chengyi felt a chill run down his spine.
"Brother... who exactly are you...?"
Chen Mo turned his head and put a finger to his lips.
"Shh, don't ask anything, don't say anything. This is our secret, keep it to yourself."
As he spoke, Chen Mo looked at the old man and said, "Put it away."
Upon hearing this, the old man's body twisted violently, his pupils returned to black, and the saliva that had been dripping from his mouth ceased.
"Owner."
Chen Mo calmly said, "I am very interested in the cultivation techniques of this world, so you should take it back with you."
The "he" Chen Mo was referring to was naturally Li Chengyi, and the old man nodded upon hearing this.
"Yes."
"By the way, what do you have on you? Let me see it."
Upon hearing Chen Mo's words, the old man quickly took out a bag from his robes. "I previously... killed a Snake Demon at the Foundation Establishment, and its corpse is still in this bag..."
As he spoke, the old man waved his hand and summoned the Snake Demon's corpse from his storage bag.
Chen Mo looked at the Snake Demon's corpse. It was Second Tier Snake Demon, and he felt that it might be able to produce something interesting.
Thinking about it, Chen Mo looked at the group of humans over there.
Then he picked up a machete and walked towards a woman, but Li Chengyi suddenly blocked his way.
"Brother, do you know..."
Before Li Chengyi could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, as if an insect was tearing and gnawing at his flesh inside.
Chen Mo snapped his fingers, and Li Chengyi lost consciousness and fell into a coma.
The old man quickly came over and hugged Li Chengyi. Then he saw Chen Mo press two fingers on Li Chengyi's abdomen and guide the worm inside his body to his head.
"Excessive memories can be removed."
Chen Mo manipulated an insect to burrow into Li Chengyi's brain, but it is unclear what exactly it did.
The old man led Li Chengyi to the back, where they saw Chen Mo chop off the heads of nine people with a wood-chopping knife, then string them together with a rope and bring them to the large pot behind them.
Chen Mo reached out and slapped the pot, instantly covering it with golden cracks. "When there are too many things, it becomes troublesome to deal with them. We still need a container."
With that, Chen Mo threw in nine human heads, and then threw in the body of the Second Tier Snake Demon as well.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Chen Mo lit the firewood, and plumes of black smoke billowed out of the large pot.
Soon after, the contents of the pot disappeared, and a dark blue pill appeared inside the pot. There was only one.
Chen Mo reached into the large pot and scooped up the dark blue pill. "Let me think, how much has it reached..."
"Seventy-nine, eighty, eighty-one, eighty-two, I guess."
As he spoke, Chen Mo took the pill and approached a man who was already in tears, making muffled noises.
He pulled the cloth out of the man's mouth and then shoved the pill into it.
"Ughhh!!"
A scream erupted, and the man's body suddenly swelled up, his skin turning bluish-black!
His body stretched infinitely, becoming like a snake, and at the same time, countless tentacles grew from his body, and nine huge heads split off from his head.
It has a snake's body and nine heads, each with a human face.
"Only third tier... still a bit lacking."
"Alright, materials are limited after all. You'll go out and test the waters for me, Xiangliu." Number 0 082: Xiangliu...
