As Li Moxun spoke, he gave Gu Yue a deep look, then calmly raised his hand and held up three fingers.
"I want three Thousand-Year Spirit Herbs for these pills. If you want more, bring Thousand-Year Spirit Herbs and Hundred-Year Spirit Herbs to trade with me first."
After saying this calmly, Li Moxun ignored Gu Yue, who was still standing by the door. He suddenly stepped close to her and slipped past her side.
Gu Yue froze when Li Moxun abruptly came so close. But when she saw that he merely glanced at her before striding away, a trace of irritation appeared on her face.
Yet when she stepped outside, her irritation turned into surprise. The sky was already full of stars.
She lowered her head and looked at the watch she had taken from her pocket. It was already two in the morning.
Gu Yue's lips twitched at the time. After a second of silence, however, she did not return to the dormitory. Instead, she calmly headed out of Eastsea Academy.
Meanwhile, after returning to his room, Li Moxun ignored the countless calls coming through his Spirit Guidance Communicator and merely sent back a message.
He sat quietly, raised his hand, and two pills appeared in his palm. He pinched them between his fingers before swallowing them directly.
As pure spiritual energy flowed through him, Li Moxun could feel not only the changes within his body, but also the spiritual energy in his surroundings beginning to increase.
One of these pills could rapidly increase cultivation, while the other could quickly absorb the spiritual energy around him.
With these two pills, his Soul Power would rise very quickly.
As he sat cross-legged and cultivated, Li Moxun thought of Gu Yue's situation again.
Li Moxun did not agree with this extreme pull between bloodlines.
If the early stages had been caused by the bloodline's pull, then later on, Gu Yue—or rather, Gu Yuena—had truly fallen in love with Tang Wulin as well.
But that had nothing to do with him. Whether it was the absolute pull within their bloodlines or the feelings between the two of them, neither had much connection to him.
Still, when he thought of the pills he had given Gu Yue, Li Moxun's expression relaxed somewhat.
Those pills had only used one Thousand-Year Spirit Herb and two Hundred-Year Spirit Herbs. Because of the refining method itself, the spiritual energy contained within those medicinal herbs appeared especially abundant.
Trading those pills for three Thousand-Year Spirit Herbs was an enormous profit for Li Moxun.
Of course, if Gu Yue brought out something better, he would also be willing to use Thousand-Year Spirit Herbs to refine some higher-quality pills for her. But that was a matter for later.
For now, Li Moxun sat there and felt his strength increasing.
Within his body, his Soul Power was steadily rising, and his entire body was changing as well.
After a sleepless night, the atmosphere in the classroom was clearly somewhat subdued—or rather, awkward—when he arrived after breakfast.
When Tang Wulin saw Li Moxun enter, the usually gentle-looking boy slightly turned his head. A flash of hostility passed through his eyes, but he said nothing.
Noticing the hostility in Tang Wulin's gaze, Li Moxun paused for a second and turned to look at the empty seat beside him, which belonged to Gu Yue.
Gu Yue was absent as well.
With the two of them disappearing together, Wu Zhangkong had naturally checked the surveillance footage. The final footage showed the two returning to the teaching building together before disappearing.
Wu Zhangkong did not know what exactly had happened. Thus, when Li Moxun arrived today, he found Wu Zhangkong, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie already waiting for him.
But before any of them could ask a question, the door opened, and Gu Yue walked in as well.
Seeing the two who had vanished together appear together again, Tang Wulin's expression became complicated. Yet as he stared deeply at Gu Yue, he ultimately said nothing.
Facing Tang Wulin's gaze, Gu Yue gave him a deep look as well and likewise remained silent.
Li Moxun was not particularly interested in the complicated exchange between them, but he could sense that Gu Yue would most likely make a move against Tang Wulin within the next few days and strip away the Golden Dragon King Bloodline from his body.
That bloodline was extremely powerful. It was a complete Golden Dragon King Bloodline.
Once Tang Wulin was directly killed and the Golden Dragon King was released, it would use Tang Wulin's body to produce a true second-level god. Under those circumstances, no one would be able to stop it.
Therefore, even if Gu Yue wanted to erase Tang Wulin, she could only strip away his bloodline bit by bit.
But that had nothing to do with Li Moxun. Although he had tricked Tang Wulin, there had never been any karmic entanglement between them.
He would not feel grateful merely because Tang Wulin had spoken a few good words for him. Of course, neither would he deliberately harm Tang Wulin.
This was also part of his deal with Gu Yue. He had merely completed the transaction, and Li Moxun did not care about any consequences or karma that resulted from it.
As the morning lessons continued, the atmosphere around them grew noticeably strange.
As soon as class ended, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie left on their own. This time, they did not even call Gu Yue along.
Naturally, Gu Yue said nothing either. She simply turned and left. After briefly packing his things, Li Moxun walked out of Eastsea Academy and headed to a snack street not far away.
There were not many people on the snack street during the day, but all sorts of snacks were still displayed there.
Looking at those snacks, Li Moxun wore a nostalgic expression. The food here was very similar to the snacks from his own world.
Whether candied hawthorns, hawthorn balls, or all manner of foods he had either seen or heard of, they were laid out in dazzling abundance.
Li Moxun casually picked out a few things, then found a boiled dishes shop and sat quietly as he ate the boiled dishes he had bought for one hundred Federal Coin.
The food here was clearly rather expensive, but he had ordered quite a lot as well.
Li Moxun ate while gazing out the window. Only after finishing everything did he calmly rise to his feet and slowly return to the dormitory.
The dormitory was as empty as ever. He was the only one there.
He locked the door from the inside, sat down, and looked ahead calmly.
For him, whether life was exciting or ordinary did not matter. As long as he had the chance to cultivate, that was enough. Li Moxun did not care about anything else.
Of course, while he did not care, he had no intention of giving up his observation of Tang Wulin either.
Gu Yue would definitely make a move against Tang Wulin. At that time, all sorts of unforeseen developments might occur, and those accidents could affect Li Moxun as well.
Thus, Li Moxun sat there silently. As he raised his hand, A-Tai appeared beside him and looked at him.
A-Tai's eyes gleamed with excitement over what Li Moxun was about to do. Clearly, Li Moxun was preparing to expend mental power and condense another clone.
A-Tai's eyes were also filled with thought and curiosity toward this kind of clone.
But under his gaze, Li Moxun merely raised his hand casually. Then he felt a sharp pain in his head as another thousand points of mental power were stripped away.
A figure appeared. She was a girl of around fifteen, wearing a standard white short-sleeved shirt and a pair of jeans.
The girl's expression was calm as a strange symbol appeared and merged into her body.
Then the girl vanished from where she stood, directly sent out by Li Moxun.
