The Heaven's Zenith Sect and the Murky Mist Sect fought fiercely for two days and two nights on Dark Tide Islands. Finally, after the Heaven's Zenith Sect paid a heavy price, they successfully annihilated all the members of the Murky Mist Sect!
The three high-ranking members of the Heaven's Zenith Sect who had been brought over by Qing Mo from the Vine Origin Pavilion earlier, disregarded their injuries and hurriedly headed to the courtyard where Qing Mo and the others were staying after finishing their business!
After all, Qing Mo didn't intend to hide their residence. Heaven's Zenith Sect easily found out where Qing Mo and his group were. The three high-ranking members of the sect brought the compensation Qing Mo demanded and the spoils obtained after destroying Murky Mist Sect to the courtyard where Qing Mo and his group lived!
At this moment, the three little guys in the yard, Little Tail, Da Bai, and Yinzi, were playing and fighting with each other. Liu Yurou, wearing a pink dress, was sitting alone on a stone bench in the yard, resting with her eyes closed. Suddenly, she sensed three people with weak auras coming to the door!
Immediately after Liu Yurou opened the courtyard gate, the three high-ranking members of the Heaven's Zenith Sect saw that it was Liu Yurou who opened the gate and immediately suspected that their disciple had made a mistake!
Seeing the three of them looking somewhat confused, Liu Yurou then asked, "You must be from the Heaven's Zenith Sect? Have you completed the tasks assigned by the master?"
When the three high-ranking members of the Heaven's Zenith Sect heard Liu Yurou say this, and because they couldn't see through Liu Yurou cultivation level at all, as if she were just an ordinary person, they immediately guessed that it must be because their strength was too weak to see through her cultivation level!
Immediately, the three high-ranking members of the Heavenly Cloud Sect bowed to Liu Yurou and said, "Greetings, senior! We have completed all the tasks that the great one instructed us to undertake. This is the compensation from our Heaven's Zenith Sect to the great one, as well as the spoils obtained from the destruction of the Murky Mist Sect!"
Upon seeing the two storage rings in the palm of the Heaven's Zenith Sect Master's hand, Liu Yurou quickly took them away. Then, Liu Yurou said softly, "Since you've taken care of what the master entrusted to you, it saves me the trouble of personally going to find you. If there's nothing else, you can go back now!"
After saying that, Liu Yurou closed the door, too lazy to say another word to them. Although Qing Mo only instructed that the compensation from the Heaven's Zenith Sect be accepted, since they had already sent over the West City from the Murky Mist Sect, it was free, so why not take it!
The three high-ranking members of the Heaven's Zenith Sect could only leave helplessly after witnessing this scene. After all, they certainly wouldn't dare to retaliate, since they couldn't even see through the cultivation level of the other party's subordinates. One could only imagine how high the cultivation level of that powerful figure was!
However, Fang Xiaoqi and Meng Fan, the instigators of this incident, are hated to the bone by everyone in the Heaven's Zenith Sect. Now, their cultivation has been crippled, one of their arms and one of their legs broken, and they are imprisoned on the spirit mine owned by the Heaven's Zenith Sect, to mine spirit stones for the Heaven's Zenith Sect for the rest of their lives!
They should have been torn to pieces, but because the Heaven's Zenith Sect disciples suffered heavy casualties after the great battle with the Murky Mist Sect, and because Qing Mo took away two-thirds of their originally abundant resources, the Heaven's Zenith Sect Sect's higher-ups barely managed to spare their lives!
What awaits Fang Xiaoqi and Meng Fan in the future is nothing more than fighting to the death, if not to their utmost!
After more than half a month, all the maids except Liu Yurou had cultivated to the limit of this world, reaching the peak of the Dao Palace Realm!
Qing Mo also successfully created a sword technique unique to the Lethe. Seeing that the time was ripe, the seven maids and Qing Mo sat together on the stone bench in the courtyard. Then, Qing Mo took out a bamboo tube with seven bamboo sticks stuck in it and placed it in front of the maids!
Just as they were still a little curious, Qing Mo smiled and said, "There are seven bamboo sticks in this bamboo tube. Whoever draws the one with the red mark on the other end will have to help me find what I need in this world on their own!"
Two of the bamboo sticks did not have a red mark on the back. The person who drew these two sticks will continue to stay by my side!
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, the maids' eyes gleamed with a sharp light. They all subtly used their divine sense to examine the bamboo tube in front of them, trying to pick the bamboo stick without the red mark when choosing later!
Qing Mo was already aware of the maids' methods and had taken precautions. No matter how they used their divine sense to probe the bamboo tubes in front of them, they still couldn't see which one didn't have a red mark!
Even with Liu Yurou's current strength far surpassing that of her previous life, she still couldn't see through the bamboo tube extinguishing the bamboo sticks. Qing Mo leisurely lit a cigarette and watched them slowly!
For several minutes, the entire courtyard remained silent. When the maids withdrew their divine senses, they saw Qing Mo smiling at them with a cigarette in his mouth. The maids chuckled sheepishly.
After exhaling a smoke ring, Qing Mo smiled at the maids and said, "Now that you've finished your little tricks, it's time to test your luck. Who wants to go first?"
Upon hearing Qing Mo's words, the maids exchanged glances, encouraging each other to let others go first. After all, the first person to draw a card had the highest probability of going out to work alone, so no one wanted to be the first to draw!
Finally, unable to reach a stalemate, Mo Yanyu said she would draw first. She gritted her teeth and randomly grabbed a bamboo skewer. The other maids hoped that her skewer would have a red mark on the back, but after they looked at it several times, they found that there was no red mark on it!
Mo Yanyu immediately stood up, clutching the bamboo skewer in her hand, and began to dance and jump around on the spot. Her full, high breasts swayed up and down due to her large movements, which was quite eye-catching!
Holding the bamboo skewer in her hand, Mo Wangshu immediately laughed and said, "Great! It's my turn to keep the master company! Sisters, you all deserve more help!"
After saying that Mo Yanyu went straight to Qing Mo's side and immediately sat on Qing Mo's lap with her pert little bottom. She wrapped her arms around Qing Mo's neck and nestled against his chest. Qing Mo gently patted her smooth and fleshy thighs!
The other six maids, seeing this, showed a hint of unhappiness, as well as a touch of resentment and jealousy in their eyes!
The final draw results showed that, apart from Cang Lanyue and Mo Yanyu who could stay by Qing Mo's side this time, the other five maids would have to go out on their own to find the rare and precious materials that Qing Mo needed!
This time, accompanying Qing Mo on her journey through this world are two stunningly beautiful women who still retain their charm. One of them, although she was a mother before, now belongs entirely to Qing Mo, and she has long since started her new life!
Another woman, who was once the head of a sect and was also easily mistaken for a young woman by others, now obediently lives with her apprentice and has gotten used to her responsibilities as a maid!
Then Qing Mo took out five jade slips and handed them to the five maids who needed to go out and search. After all, although Liu Yurou and Han Qianxue were familiar with the way, Mo Wangshu, Chu Yun'er and Xiao Die were just newcomers, so Qing Mo explained it to them!
Since this world is a top-tier Middle Thousand World, people from the Great Thousand World or the Immortal Realm might come down here. For their safety, Qing Mo specially provided the other four maids, besides Liu Yurou, with self-defense equipment!
After all, given Liu Yurou's current strength, even a top-tier Immortal Realm Immortal Emperor from the Immortal Realm might not be able to hold out against her for long. Moreover, the cultivation levels of those who come down from the Great Thousand World or the Immortal Realm are restricted. Therefore, Qing Mo has no need to worry about Liu Yurou's safety at all!
The night before everyone was to split up, Liu Yurou, the head maid, along with four other maids who were also going out, stayed in Qing Mo's room for the night. They had originally planned to take advantage of Qing Mo before setting off, but the next day they couldn't even walk!
After leaving Azure Cloud City, Qing Mo, Mo Yanyu, and Cang Lanyue headed to the largest dock outside the city. Since they were traveling and sightseeing, they decided to take advantage of the local transportation like ordinary people and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way!
"Guests, where are you headed?"
Qing Mo and his group arrived at a huge passenger ship heading northwest. Calling it a passenger ship would be more accurate than calling it a cruise ship. This type of ship is unique to Dark Tide Islands because there are many hidden whirlpools in the waters near Dark Tide Islands, which cannot be detected by divine sense!
Moreover, this whirlpool will drift in the waters near Dark Tide Islands with the direction of the ocean current. If any cultivator wants to fly across the sea and happens to fly onto the Hongxi whirlpool, he will instantly lose his spiritual power and fall into the sea from the sky!
Thus, they perish in the sea and become a delicious meal for sea creatures. Because the creatures in this sea have multiplied here for generations, they have long since evolved ways to resist the vortex of the swirling current, but cultivators cannot do that!
So they used the trunks of the local Floating Tree to build these ships that could ignore the swirling currents and whirlpools, in order to cross the turbulent swirling currents in the nearby seas!
Qing Mo looked at the sailor on the ship who had asked him a question, and then asked, "What is the name of the largest city near the Fury River Sect?"
Upon hearing Qing Mo's question, the sailor immediately replied, "Young master, you must be referring to Wave Gathering City! It's the largest and most prosperous city under the jurisdiction of the Fury River Sect!"
After hearing the sailor's reply, Mo Yanyu paid the spirit stones needed for the voyage, and the sailor then led Qing Mo, Mo Wangshu, and Cang Lanyue to their rooms!
After all, it takes five or six days to sail from Azure Cloud City to Wave Gathering City, so rooms are usually prepared for passengers to rest!
During their conversation with the sailors, Qingmo and his companions learned that a large auction would be held in the ship's main hall that evening. The highlight of the auction was said to be a rare water-reflecting wood found only on Dark Wave Island. If Qingmo and his friends were interested, they could go check it out that night!
Upon entering the room, Qing Mo immediately rested her head on Mo Yanyu's soft lap. Cang Lanyue then knelt down beside Qing Mo and massaged her arms, while Da Bai remained lying next to Qing Mo.
A miniature version of Yinzi also popped out from Qing Mo's sleeve. It seemed to be the first time it and Little Tail were on a boat. The two little guys went to the window and enjoyed the beautiful scenery outside!
Then Cang Lanyue looked at Qing Mo and asked, "Master, Auction House tonight?"
Qing Mo closed his eyes and twisted his neck, trying to make himself more comfortable. Then he said softly, "Since there's nothing much to do along the way, it might as well go and take a look!"
It's a good way to pass the time. You can take a look and see if there's anything you want to buy when the time comes, and then you can place your order!
After saying that, Qing Mo turned his face toward Mo Yanyu's lower abdomen and drifted off to sleep. Soon it was night. The passenger ship had sailed for some distance. It was pitch black outside the ship, with only the sound of the sea breeze and the faint light of the stars reflected on the sea.
The sailor arrived outside Qing Mo and the others' room. He knocked on the door to remind the three of Qing Mo the Auction House about to begin. Then, Mo Yanyu gently shook Qing Mo's body, tenderly waking him from his dream!
Qing Mo slowly opened his eyes and asked Mo Yanyu, " Yanyu, what's wrong?"
Mo Yanyu immediately replied, "Master, the Auction House about to begin, let's hurry over!"
Upon hearing Mo Yanyu's words, Qing Mo immediately sat up, his previously hazy eyes instantly clearing. He and the two maids headed to the hall where the Auction House be held, while Little Tail and the others remained in the room!
Qing Mo and his two companions paid a high price for the last private room on the upper Private Room to watch the Auction House. Although the Auction House on the ship was not as large as those held in large venues on land, it had all the essentials!
Through the windows of the Private Room on the upper floor, Qing Mo and his two companions noticed that there were quite a few people attending the Auction House, and some of them were dressed in clothes that clearly indicated they were disciples of a certain sect!
"I never expected that the Water-Hued Reflection Wood would attract so many people, and so many sect disciples as well!"
Brother Chen, we might not have enough spirit stones!
Suddenly, Qing Mo noticed two people whispering to each other in a seat not far away. To avoid being overheard, the two teenagers, a boy and a girl, chose to communicate by telepathy!
However, this little trick was nothing to Qing Mo. Qing Mo knew exactly what these two fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys were talking about!
"Little sister, the Water-Hued Reflection Wood is the key to healing my body. With it, I was able to continue cultivating. If it weren't for my uncle using some method to frame me, preventing my dantian from absorbing spiritual energy and damaging my meridians!"
Otherwise, how could I have remained at the early stage of the Dao Integration Realm, and no matter what methods I used, I couldn't make any progress?
Hearing the telepathic communication between the two siblings, Qing Mo raised an eyebrow. It seemed to be a scene that only appeared in novels. After all, the families of all the righteous protagonists were basically "brotherly love and respect, and family members were close to each other"!
Immediately, the girl's voice was heard. "But, Brother Chen! Even if you heal your dantian and meridians, there's still a month until the family competition!"
I heard that my uncle's son is already in the mid-stage of the Spirit Condensation Realm. How could you possibly advance several major realms in such a short time? If you lose, you will be stripped of your title as young master!
Upon hearing the girl's telepathic message, the young man immediately replied telepathically, "Don't worry, little sister! I have a way!"
Upon hearing this, Qing Mo smiled faintly, then thought to herself, "Of course! A Immortal Venerable's knowledge is definitely far greater than yours. Although she is only a remnant soul now, she is more than capable of helping you slap others in the face!"
