The road is vague

Chapter 72 A secret

After returning to Lingmumen, Li Mo came to the Guardian Hall and found Senior Brother Wei Cang.

Seeing this, the skinny Wei Cang couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

"Junior brother, it's still early, no rush."

Li Mo nodded.

After thinking about it, he took out two wooden boxes and placed them on the table.

"By the way, Third Senior Brother, I accidentally killed an evil cultivator while I was out this time, and found these two poisonous insects in his body. I would like to ask you to help me identify them and see if they are of any value."

"Oh?"

Wei Cang was shocked when he heard that Li Mo had actually killed an evil cultivator.

After all, in pursuit of strength, those evil cultivators often do things that are detrimental to their moral character. Although they often do not have a good end, it is extremely difficult for cultivators of the same level to kill them.

Wei Cang took the two wooden boxes, opened them, and saw the ghost-faced worms inside. His expression suddenly changed slightly.

He seemed to have thought of something, stood up and walked towards the study.

After a while.

Wei Cang took out a book and compared it with it.

"That's right, these two poisonous insects are indeed the Ghost Face Insect Queens of the Weiguo Thousand Insect Sect."

Li Mo had never heard of the so-called Wei State. It was obviously just a small country. There were at least dozens of similar small countries in the Central Plains. There was often only one sect in their territory. There were also some medium-sized countries consisting of two or three sects.

Li Mo seemed to be lost in thought.

"Then what use is this ghost-faced insect mother?"

Wei Cang smiled, put away the books, and slowly explained.

"The art of poisoning insects has existed since ancient times, but none of the major sects in our Great Qian Nation excels in this art. The Wei Nation's Thousand Insect Sect is considered unique among the various nations in this art. This sect advocates feeding the insects with one's own body, using oneself as the insect's mother nest, and then performing all sorts of incredible magic."

Li Mo felt his scalp tingling just by listening to the description.

The main cultivation method of this sect was really difficult for him to accept.

"The ability of these two ghost-faced insect mothers is to devour the essence, blood, and vitality of the caster, temporarily converting them into mana. That person actually raised two of them. It seems that they must be at least at the seventh level of Qi training. Well, I think at least the tenth level of Qi training would be safer."

Li Mo felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.

"That person is only at the fifth level of Qi training."

Wei Cang suddenly understood after hearing this.

No wonder that man was killed by Li Mo. He couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

"With his mere Qi training level of the fifth level, he actually raised two ghost-faced insect mothers. Even if I don't kill him today, he will definitely be devoured by the poisonous insects in his body in the future. I don't need to worry. A mere cultivator from the Weiguo Thousand Insect Sect dared to intrude into our Daqian country and cause trouble. I will kill him if I can."

Li Mo quickly showed a relieved gesture.

"Then I wonder how much these two ghost-faced insect mothers are worth. Can they be sold within the sect?"

Wei Cang chuckled softly.

"Junior brother, don't worry. You can try to sell these two poisonous insects at the trade fair tonight. They are naturally worth a lot of money, enough to be worth a top-grade magic weapon."

"this?"

Li Mo was a little surprised.

You should know that the value of a top-grade magic weapon is generally more than five hundred spirit stones. How could these two ghost-faced insect mothers be worth so many spirit stones?

He couldn't help but look puzzled.

"Could it be that there are many uncles and aunts in the sect who are practicing the art of poisonous insects?"

"No."

Wei Cang explained, "We, the cultivators of the Spirit Eye Sect, don't have the ability to feed insects with our bodies. That's the Thousand Insect Sect's main cultivation technique. If we forcefully cultivate it, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would die after just a few uses. The Ghost Face Insect Mother's true purpose for us is to implant it into a spirit beast."

"Oh?"

Li Mo had never heard of this.

Wei Cang continued to explain.

"Firstly, these spirit beasts are all thick-skinned and tough. Even if their essence and blood are sucked out a few times, it won't be a serious problem. They just need to rest for a while. However, at certain critical moments, they may be able to turn the tide. Secondly, these spirit beasts have relatively long lifespans. Even if their life force is sucked out, they won't age and die quickly."

Li Mo suddenly understood after hearing this.

Although there are not many disciples in the Qi training stage who can raise spiritual beasts, the number of spiritual beasts raised by uncles and aunts in the foundation building stage will inevitably increase greatly.

Especially those uncles and aunts who are in the middle and late stages of foundation building and have lived for hundreds of years, their family wealth is not comparable to that of mere Qi-cultivating cultivators.

Next.

Li Mo asked Wei Cang for advice on his problem of not having powerful spells to deal with monsters.

After Wei Cang thought for a moment, he looked helpless.

His thunder technique tended to be dark and gentle, and could not help Li Mo either. As the two of them slowly communicated, time passed and finally arrived at the hour of Xu at night.

Wei Cang took Li Mo out of the Guardian Hall and went to a villa that only cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage could enter.

Wei Cang took out his badge and the gatekeeper saluted respectfully.

Li Mo followed behind Wei Cang and was naturally not stopped. He was a little envious of this. The cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage were indeed different. They even had a special place for the trade fair. Unlike them, the cultivators in the Qi Condensation Stage, they could only temporarily apply for a room in various halls and make do with it.

As the two of them entered a spacious hall.

There are already seventy or eighty people here, and the number is still increasing.

There were a few people who were familiar with Wei Cang. They greeted him and were surprised at the identity of Li Mo behind Wei Cang. After Wei Cang gave a brief introduction, these people didn't say much.

After all, Li Mo is a registered disciple of a Jindan cultivator.

And in this trade fair, Li Mo was obviously not the only Qi training cultivator like him.

After a while.

There were already more than a hundred people gathered in the hall, but it still didn't seem crowded.

It looks like this place could easily accommodate twice as many people.

At this time.

Li Mo suddenly noticed a graceful female cultivator next to him wearing a colorful mask. The patterns on the mask seemed to come alive, constantly flowing, full of weirdness.

He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. The female cultivator also noticed Li Mo. After a brief surprise, she actually took the initiative to approach him.

"Senior Brother Li Mo, long time no see."

Upon hearing this, Li Mo immediately confirmed the other party's identity.

This is the mysterious lady of the Ye family, Ye Yimeng!
However, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he heard the other party call him "senior brother" and took the initiative to greet him after not seeing him for a long time.

Firstly, the two were not familiar with each other, and secondly, the last time they met was on the assessment arena.

At that time, Li Mo couldn't even stand up, let alone fight with him.

However, since the other party had taken the initiative to show goodwill, Li Mo naturally had to respond. "Fairy Ye, long time no see."

Wei Cang was communicating with other foundation-building cultivators not far away and did not pay attention to this side.

Ye Yimeng came to Li Mo's side. Her height was about the height of Li Mo's nose bridge. She had a graceful and upright figure. She looked up at Li Mo from a close distance, and her eyes under the mask seemed to be a little curious.

Li Mo also looked at Ye Yimeng, his eyes slightly confused.

He clearly remembered that the other person had a stunning face. If she hadn't been wearing a strange mask that made it difficult for him to get close to him, he would definitely be a little nervous with the two of them being so close.

"Brother Li, I know one of your secrets!"

Ye Yimeng said with a smile.

Her inexplicable words made Li Mo's eyes widen.

His thoughts were about to burst through the sky in an instant. You know, he had never dealt with the other party before. What did the other party mean by suddenly saying such a confusing sentence to him?
Do you know a secret of yours?
My biggest secret is my ethereal dreams!

How did she know...

However, Ye Yimeng was obviously unaware of the storm in Li Mo's heart. She no longer had the noble and unattainable beauty she had before, and acted playfully and jokingly like a young girl.

"Actually, I have a secret too. Maybe everyone has their own secrets, but I'm glad to know yours."

Say it.

She actually left leisurely under Li Mo's nervous and puzzled gaze.

It was not until the other party disappeared in the crowd that Li Mo came back to his senses from his uneasiness.

"This girl might not be the Night Pearl of the Lingmu Sect at all, but a nagging little demon. What did she mean by that just now? Was she warning me?"

Li Mo muttered in his heart and became more cautious towards this mysterious female cultivator.

The other party must have a big secret, and with the Ye family's full support behind him, he will most likely stir up trouble in the future. Before I succeed in my cultivation, I'd better be as careful as possible.

After a while.

Wei Cang on the side suddenly patted Li Mo on the shoulder.

"What are you thinking about?"

Wei Cang gestured, "The trade fair has begun. Aren't you planning on selling the pair of ghost-faced insect mothers? Hurry and put them out. I don't have anything to sell here, so I'm going to look for some elixirs that I can use. I'll also help you see if there are any Piao Miao Demon Pills for sale."

"it is good!"

After Li Mo came to his senses, he no longer thought about Ye Yimeng.

He quickly found an uninhabited place, put out the two ghost-faced insect mothers, and according to Wei Cang's suggestion, sold the two together for six hundred spirit stones.

There are many monks around selling all kinds of things.

Li Mo took a look and was attracted by many of the things, but unfortunately they did not have the Foundation Establishment Pill and Piaomiao Demon Pill that he needed.

At the same time, he was also thinking about the choice he would face next. Should he proceed steadily to condense the thunder crystal with the goal of winning the first place in this graduation examination, or should he go all out and continue practicing with the goal of building the foundation as soon as possible?

Needless to say, it took him half a month to condense the thunder crystal to unleash the power of Lei Wu Hua Ji.

However, if one can be promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage before the final examination, then he will have absolute strength that cannot be shaken by any spells, magic tools, or secret techniques. With his magic power and divine consciousness increased several times in an instant, the power of any spells and magic tools will be doubled.

This is the pursuit of Tao and the improvement of realm, which is far beyond the level of technique.

All of a sudden.

Li Mo actually felt a little dazed and hopeful.

If he could really reach the Foundation Establishment stage before the final examination, the so-called final examination would have almost no meaning to him. To put it more bluntly, this is simply bullying the younger generation.

Although his aptitude was amazing, advancing to the Foundation Establishment Stage was, after all, a major advancement in realm, and required breaking through a major bottleneck, so he really wasn't sure about it.

“Life is like a play, and it will eventually come to an end.”

At this time.

Li Mo remembered Zhang Guoyin's words, and he seemed to have made a decision in his heart.

after awhile.

A female cultivator wearing a veil suddenly stopped in front of Li Mo and let out a light exclamation.

"Ghost Face Bug Mother?"

Then she squatted down, checked carefully, and after confirming that the two ghost-faced insect mothers were not injured, she looked at Li Mo and asked questions.

"How many spirit stones are these two ghost-faced insect mothers worth?"

"Two together, six hundred spirit stones."

The female cultivator frowned slightly.

"How about five hundred spirit stones?"

Li Mo shook his head to refuse.

The female cultivator tried to bargain down to five hundred and fifty spirit stones, but Li Mo still refused. She finally sighed and chose to give up.

Over the next half hour, several people stopped by and expressed interest in the Ghost Face Bug Queen, but after hearing Li Mo's offer, they all chose to give up.

Just when Li Mo was considering whether to lower the price and sell the pair of ghost-faced insect mothers for 550 spirit stones, an acquaintance appeared in front of him.

It turned out to be Ding Wei, who had taught him for three months during his enlightenment period.

Ding Wei obviously recognized Li Mo and looked stunned.

"Disciple Li Mo, greetings to Uncle Ding."

Li Mo hurriedly stood up and saluted, and Ding Wei nodded.

"I just heard from a friend that two ghost-faced insect mothers are being sold here for 600 spirit stones. Could it be you?"

"It's the junior."

Seeing Li Mo's admission, Ding Wei knew that he had become the disciple of Master Lu of the Special Service Hall, and his status and position were completely different from before, so he didn't say anything.

"That's good. Here are six hundred spirit stones. Count them. I want these two ghost-faced insect queens."

Seeing this, Li Mo immediately handed the two ghost-faced insect mothers to the other party.

"Master Ding, you are too polite. I trust you."

Upon hearing this, Ding Wei looked at the pair of wooden boxes in his hands, smiled and nodded, then left.

Finally, the pair of ghost-faced insect mothers were sold as a package, and Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief. He now had quite a lot of spirit stones on him, and it was time to go shopping.

Just then, Wei Cang came from a distance.

"Junior brother, you're really lucky. An acquaintance of mine over there is selling the Piaomiao Demon Pills you mentioned, and it looks like they have quite a few. You should go and take a look."

When Li Mo heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

"it is good."

He hurriedly followed Wei Cang to the other end of the hall.
