The road is vague

Chapter 52: Light Form

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-December.

At this moment, Nie Zhen, an inner disciple of the Alchemy Hall, was standing in front of the main hall, pacing back and forth, looking like he was worried and looking inside the hall frequently.

At this time.

A red-nosed old man holding a teapot walked slowly and leisurely from a distance.

When he saw Nie Zhen lingering in front of the hall gate, he snorted suspiciously.

"You fellow, why are you wandering around in front of the main hall instead of studying alchemy and taking care of the spiritual fields?"

This person is Wang Wenhai, the deputy head of the Alchemy Hall, and Tao Ran's old naughty master.

"If you like guarding the gate so much, I'll arrange for you to guard the gate here one day!"

Upon hearing this, Nie Zhen quickly turned around.

When he saw that it was Wang Haiwen, he knew that the deputy hall master was just joking with him and immediately felt relieved.

"Master, there is something I feel I must report to you."

The old naughty boy took a sip of the teapot and was stunned when he heard this.

"what's up?"

"It's a junior fellow named Li Mo. He applied for the alchemy room a month ago, but hasn't left yet. He's only a Qi training disciple. I'm afraid something might have happened to him in there."

"Ok?"

The old naughty boy looked solemn.

"Is there such a thing?"

He frowned and understood the details of what happened, then slowly put down the teapot in his hand.

"How about this, I'll use my celestial glasses to see what this little guy is doing. His secret alchemy technique is indeed extremely dangerous. We have to be on guard and don't let him die in it."

After a while.

The old naughty boy walked out of the hall with an angry expression.

"This little bastard actually used the alchemy room as a retreat room, causing me to worry for nothing. You don't have to worry about him from now on."

"Yes."

Nie Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

the other side.

Li Mo in the alchemy room has not eaten or drunk anything for a month.

But because of the Good Fortune Pill, he did not feel hungry or thirsty in the past month.

Unlike the Qi Gathering Pill, where the medicinal properties would dissipate in just a few days after swallowing it, he spent a full month refining this Creation Pill before finally nearing the end.

He could feel the second heart beating inside him, becoming weaker and weaker.

As the last bit of spiritual power of the Creation Pill dissipated, the beating sound of the second heart in his body also disappeared. After he completed a complete Great Circulation of Qi, he slowly opened his eyes and involuntarily let out a long breath.

Gaba, gaba, gaba.

After Li Mo stood up, his body made a series of joint cracking sounds.

Then, with the help of the light, he discovered that a large amount of fishy and smelly dirt was discharged from the pores of his skin, which made him feel nauseous. He immediately recalled the ethereal and ethereal feeling he had before, and it turned out that it would produce such an effect.

"Ugh, I must not let anyone I know see me in such a filthy and ugly state!"

So he hurriedly packed up his personal belongings in the alchemy room, opened the mechanical door of the alchemy room, and strode towards the bathroom.

"Junior Brother Li? Junior Brother Li!"

Nie Zhen chased after him and wanted to say something, but Li Mo had already run away, making him shake his head and sigh.

Li Mo was very lucky and did not meet any acquaintances on the road.

After washing himself carefully in the bathroom, he felt refreshed and his body seemed to be floating. At the same time, he found that all the scars on his body had disappeared, his skin seemed to be whiter and tenderer, and he exuded a sense of lightness.

"Light in form and light in spirit, is this the talent of an immortal?"

Li Mo shook his head. He naturally didn't think that this mere Qi training stage fortune pill would allow him to change his fate.

After washing up, Li Mo began to put on his clothes.

With a "squeak", the crane cloak was torn by him.

Li Mo was stunned for a moment, picked up the crane cloak that he had accidentally torn and gently pulled it, and the other sleeve of the crane cloak was also torn off easily. He held it in front of his eyes and observed it blankly for a long time before he finally confirmed that this was not because the crane cloak was rotten, but because his strength had become much stronger, but he still did not have enough control.

After a while.

Li Mo returned to the dormitory and continued the experiment.

He could now easily fold a bamboo as thick as his arm into two pieces with just a little effort.

Then he used the sword in the storage bag to lightly scratch his skin, but found that a blood mark would appear on his skin only when he used a lot of force. It was extremely tough, not like that of a human.

And this was just the result after he refined a Creation Pill.

The smile on Li Mo's face was almost impossible to conceal.

As far as he knows.

As for methods to improve physical strength, among the six major countries in the Central Plains of the Shanhai Realm, only the Taoist traditions of Xia and Jin have clear instructions.

There is no need to say much about the Xia Kingdom. The Taoist tradition is to prove the truth through force.

As a holy land for warriors in the Central Plains, many of Xia's acquired and innate martial arts have the effect of improving physical fitness.

The cultivators from the State of Jin, on the other hand, were pursuing the law of cause and effect.

The monks of the seven temples of Jin State would gradually improve their physical fitness by collecting the power of incense. They were somewhat similar to the gods of many primitive sects and were unique among the countries.

Besides.

Even if there are cultivators in other countries who practice body cultivation, it is only body cultivation and cannot be considered as dual cultivation of body and soul.

The Qian Kingdom pursues the Taoism of the Supreme Being of All Things, which claims that all things are created by heaven for human use and can be used as tools for "human beings", but there is no way to change "human beings" themselves.

in this way.

If Li Mo can find a stable supply channel for Piaomiao Demon Pills in the future, he will be considered unique among the cultivators in the territory of Qian Kingdom.

After adapting for a while.

After Li Mo put on the spare crane cloak, he spent some silver to apply for two more sets, and then prepared to try his luck at the market at the foot of the mountain to see if he could buy the hundred-year-old elixir from the herbalist, or spend spirit stones to buy some auxiliary elixir for refining the elixir, and then refine the second Piaomiao Demon Pill into a Creation Pill.

"Li Mo!"

Lu Cuicui's voice came from a distance.

Li Mo turned his head and saw her stretching out her arms and waving to him with a smile. There were two people beside her, namely Lv Shun and Lv Tong.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Li Mo walked over with a smile and nodded to Lu Shun and Lu Tong.

Seeing that Li Mo seemed to be preparing to go out, Lu Cuicui asked, "Are you going out?"

"Well, I plan to go to the market at the foot of the mountain to buy some spiritual herbs for making pills."

When Lu Cuicui heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"That's great. We're also planning to go shopping at the market down the mountain. Wanna join us?"

"Oh?"

Li Mo smiled and nodded, "Okay!" The four of them talked and laughed along the way. Lu Cuicui looked very happy. She walked at the front of the team and kept talking about the results of her puppetry research during this period. She said that she would return the humanoid puppet to Li Mo after a while.

Li Mo listened carefully from behind and nodded frequently.

Lu Shun and Lu Tong walked at the back.

After walking for a while, Lu Shun was exhausted and out of breath, so he took out a magic weapon, a cattail fan. After he used this magic weapon, the cattail fan expanded to five feet in the air, and then he sat down on it.

The huge palm-leaf fan nearly fell to the ground, but finally remained one foot above the ground, floating slowly forward.

Lu Tong looked light and petite, with eyes full of wisdom. She looked at Lu Cuicui who was jumping in front of her and kept talking about various things around Li Mo, and couldn't help but look at Lu Shun who was standing beside her.

"I haven't seen Cuicui so happy in a long time."

"Ah."

Lu Shun curled his lips.

"She must like that Li Mo."

Hearing this, Lu Tong smiled slightly.

"You don't object?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Shun sighed softly.

"What can I say? The problem is my mother. I haven't dared to tell her about this. You know her situation. She's becoming increasingly crazy. It's fine for me, but I can't let Cuicui suffer with me."

The four of them soon arrived at the market at the foot of the mountain.

Lu Tong loves watching shadow puppet shows very much, and she pestered the three of them to accompany her to watch "Men and Women".

This play tells the story of a girl whose family favors boys over girls and believes that girls only need to take care of their husbands and children. The girl is unwilling to accept her fate, and then her home is invaded by foreign enemies. The girl goes to war to serve her country and tells a complex ethical story of love on the battlefield.

Afterwards, Lu Shunze brought the three of them to a restaurant.

"Four guests, please come in. What would you like to eat?"

Lu Shun couldn't wait to say, "The goose fat rolls, eggplant fish, and chicken marrow bamboo shoots from last time were all good. I'll have one portion first. Also, a plate of fried quail, a plate of air-cured civet meat, a plate of golden ham, eight tofu skin buns, a plate of jujube and yam cakes, and four bowls of lotus seed soup."

Li Mo was surprised and couldn't help but look at Lu Shun again. No wonder he was so fat, he was really a foodie.

"okay!"

After the waiter left, Lu Shun mysteriously took out an exquisite jade pot from his storage bag and showed it to the three people with a smile.

"Last time, I accompanied a friend to visit relatives in Jingzhou. I spent a full hundred spirit stones to buy the recipe for this spirit wine. This is the first jar I brewed. Come and have a taste."

When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.

After Li Mo took a sip, he first felt a stream of ice flowing down, and then he felt a hot fire burning in his abdomen. Then, strands of spiritual power flowed into his dantian, and his consciousness became active and light. He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

“What a great wine!”

Lu Cuicui and Lu Tong's faces turned red. They looked at each other and started giggling.

Li Mo looked at Lu Shun.

"What's the name of this wine?"

Lu Shun was stunned for a moment.

"It doesn't have a name yet. You reminded me. Hmm, what should I name it? How about calling it "Dream Like a God"?

"it is good!"

"The dream is like a fairyland, yes."

The three of them gave their affirmation.

Li Mo couldn't wait to ask, "How are you going to sell this wine in the future? I know a few wine connoisseurs who can introduce them to you."

"Sell?"

Lu Shun's eyes lit up.

"That's a good idea!"

After the two had common topics, they got along better and better, as if they had met too late.

After eating and drinking enough.

The four of them came to a refining material store, where Lu Cuicui bought a batch of basic materials for making puppets. It was obvious that she had made some progress in her research on humanoid puppets.

"The end-of-year assessment is almost here. I will return your humanoid puppet to you before Xiyue. As compensation, I will give you a copy of my notes. Please don't worry."

"no problem."

Li Mo agreed readily.

Next, he walked around the market and didn't see anyone selling hundred-year-old elixirs, so he brought the three of them to the elixir shop, spent more than eighty spirit stones, and bought a set of auxiliary elixirs needed to refine the elixir.

Li Mo made a decision in his heart.

It would be best if he could come across a hundred-year-old elixir in the market at the foot of the mountain in the future. He could use the remaining spirit stones to buy it first. If the spirit stones needed for the auxiliary elixir are not enough, he can borrow some temporarily. He believes that his good friends will be generous in donating.

If you can't find the hundred-year-old elixir, you can't just sit there and wait, wasting your time.

After playing in the market at the foot of the mountain for a day, as time grew darker, the four of them began to walk up the mountain.

The night road was full of fireflies, lighting up the mountains and fields.

The great formation on the top of Qingming Mountain shines with magical light.

Seeing this, Li Mo, Lu Shun, Lu Tong and Lu Cuicui couldn't help but stop, look up and admire from the bottom of their hearts.

"What a nice view."

……

a few days later.

Li Mo came to the Alchemy Hall again and applied for an alchemy room.

Upon hearing this, Nie Zhen, who was in charge of registration, looked at Li Mo with a strange look and a worried expression.

"Brother, what kind of magic potion are you making? Last time you didn't come out for a month, I was almost scared to death. I thought something happened to you in there."

Generally speaking, as the quality of the elixir increases, the refining time will also increase greatly.

Li Mo looked apologetic upon hearing this.

"Alas, to be honest, Senior Brother, I am actually just here to refine the Qi Gathering Pill with the Great Circulation. The Advanced Training Hall is not like the Inner Sect, and it is not safe to practice the Great Circulation, so I can only resort to this last resort."

Li Mo's half-true and half-false response made Nie Zhen nod in sudden realization. Instead of blaming him, he expressed admiration for Li Mo's attitude of diligent practice.

After entering the alchemy room, Li Mo was familiar with the process and began to refine the elixir again.

This time, he still managed to refine the Creation Pill smoothly.

He opened the alchemy furnace and looked at the elixir inside. It seemed to come alive, with lightning patterns flashing continuously and strands of spiritual power filling the air. Li Mo couldn't help but smile.

But then he noticed something unusual and looked at his hands in surprise.

"The side effects of the Thunder Refining Method have been reduced so much. It seems that it only takes half a day of conditioning to recover on its own."

In addition to the effect of comprehensively improving physical strength, the Creation Pill also has the additional effect of enhancing magical power and improving physical potential. It can complement the method of thunder refining and pave the way for the alchemist to better activate the method of thunder refining.

"If one Fortune Pill has such an effect, then what about two Fortune Pills? In the future, can I refine Qi Condensation Pills and other Qi Condensation Pills without any harm?"

Thinking this in his mind, Li Mo opened his mouth, tilted his head back and swallowed the second Creation Pill into his stomach.
