The road is vague

Chapter 86 Qingming Spiritual Spring
The next morning.

Li Mo came to the main hall of the training hall and waited.

At this moment, everyone who was waiting in front of the training hall was surprised to see Li Mo coming in wearing the crane cloak of his uncle who was in the foundation-building stage.

"I've met my uncle."

"Greetings, Uncle Master..."

After the people nearby realized what was happening, they hurriedly saluted.

After Li Mo nodded to the people who saluted him, he did not walk together with these young people who were practicing Qi, but went straight to Ding Wei.

"Man……"

But for Li Mo to change his address from Uncle Ding to Brother Ding directly was a little bit difficult to get used to for a while. The smiling Ding Wei understood Li Mo very well, so he took the initiative to speak.

"Junior Brother Li, you are finally here."

"Brother Ding."

Seeing that Li Mo seemed uncomfortable with changing his words, Ding Wei smiled slightly.

"Junior Brother Li, you've just been promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage, so it's natural that you're not used to it. I was the same way at the beginning. After a while, as the people around you gradually separate, you'll get used to it."

Hearing the other party say this, Li Mo nodded and smiled.

The two of them chatted as if no one was around.

The cultivators in the foundation-building stage, as the backbone of Lingmu Sect, play a connecting role in Lingmu Sect.

Although the power of each hall seems to be concentrated in the hands of the hall master, when it comes to specific implementation, it still depends on these Foundation Establishment cultivators. After all, it is impossible for Golden Core cultivators to do everything personally. They only show up occasionally, and most of the time they are practicing in the cave to improve their cultivation.

At this time.

Ding Wei looked around and coughed lightly.

"Junior Brother Li, there are some things I must tell you. Actually, the person behind Wang Zhu is you, Senior Brother. I have recommended you to the higher-ups of the Justice Association several times."

"what?"

Li Mo was a little surprised, but soon he understood.

He could understand why Ding Wei valued himself.

But from this point of view, Wang Zhu seems to be quite ambitious in the Justice Association, and seems to be planning to use this as a hope for revenge.

And I remember he once said that he also had an opportunity.

"I'm sure you're familiar with the situation of our Lingmu Sect. It was fine during the Qi Condensation Stage, but now Junior Brother Li has advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Even though you have Uncle Lu backing you up, there are always things Uncle Lu can't control. So, Junior Brother Li, you still have to think carefully about some things. Unless you don't plan to serve on the mountain anymore, otherwise..."

"Ugh."

Li Mo sighed when he heard this.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Ding, for reminding me. To be honest, I'm actually planning to join the Special Service Hall, leave Qingming Mountain, and take a position at the local Tianming Division. So... hehe, I'm really powerless to intervene in the conflict between the two factions. I'll wait until Master makes a decision one day in the future."

Li Mo pushed Lu Qi out as a shield.

"you……"

Upon hearing this, Ding Wei was dumbfounded, his face full of disbelief.

Li Mo also realized that the fight between the disciples from the aristocratic families and the independent disciples seemed fierce and fierce, but in fact there was still some buffer.

For example, the Alchemy Hall's Master Chen Huiling, Deputy Master Wang Wenhai, and the Training Hall's Master Ye Qing all belong to this category.

Li Mo still doesn't know Lu Qi's true position.

Logically speaking, he should be considered Lu Qi's official disciple now, but unfortunately his master is not at the sect at the moment, so even if he wants to formally become his disciple, there is no place.

After a while.

It was noon.

The two hall masters, Ye Qing and Han Mu, of the Advanced Training Hall came with a group of foundation-building cultivators from various halls.

Li Mo noticed that during the previous graduation examination, the mysterious monk who was sitting on the high platform with his face shrouded in a circle of gray mist also came.

"Meet the Hall Master!"

Many disciples saluted.

Ye Qing's expression was indifferent, while Han Mu had a smile on his face.

"Okay, now it's time to assign everyone positions in the halls. Disciples below the seventh level of Qi training will be assigned positions at the discretion of the master. Those whose names are called will report to their respective halls."

Han Mu handed several lists to the Foundation Establishment cultivator beside him.

"Zhang Wei."

"To!"

"Overseer's Hall."

"Yes."

"Su Wenji."

"To!"

"Treasure Hall..."

As names were called one after another, the number of disciples gathered outside the training hall dwindled, and they all turned and left.

The vast majority of these people were assigned to the Special Service Hall, the Supervisor Hall, and the Treasure Hall. A few were assigned to the Scattered Leaf Hall, and very few were assigned to the Guardian Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall.

As for joining Sihaitang, you need to apply actively.

After a long time.

By the time the Foundation Establishment cultivator called out the last name, there were still more than thirty people left outside the main hall, all of whom were elite disciples above the seventh level of Qi training.

Han Mu nodded and smiled.

"Very good. Now everyone is free to learn about the halls they are interested in."

The foundation-building cultivators following behind Ye Qing and Han Mu put up their own hall signs one after another. Among them, the foundation-building cultivators representing the Guardian Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall were undoubtedly the first choice of everyone and were surrounded in an instant.

Li Mo walked towards the registration office of the Special Service Hall with a calm expression.

There are only three or four people here to sign up.

When these people saw Li Mo coming, they all showed incredible expressions, including Zhao Huaxue, who also came to the Special Service Hall to sign up.

"This senior sister."

Li Mo looked at the female cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage in front of him.

"If I sign up for the Special Service Hall, can I choose where I'll be serving?"

The female cultivator had a round face, like an oval. When she saw Li Mo coming, she also showed an expression of incredible joy.

"My surname is Duan, and my given name is Shu. You must be Junior Brother Li from the Jinxiu Hall. You are indeed a handsome man."

She first praised him, then responded with a smile. "While theoretically, once you choose the Special Service Hall, you must abide by their orders, Junior Brother Li's status makes a difference, so it's not impossible to make an exception."

"Oh?"

Li Mo seemed to be lost in thought.

"Then may I ask, Senior Sister Duan, is it because I am a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage?"

Duan Shu nodded.

"That's true, but that's only one of the reasons. Junior Brother Li, have you forgotten that your master is the head of our Special Service Hall? If you want to be transferred there, it's just a matter of a word."

"I see."

Li Mo nodded and made up his mind.

"Then please, Senior Sister Duan, record my name in Bai'an County, Anbei Commandery. I'm going to be assigned to the Ministry of Destiny there. And if I remember correctly, the captain of the special service team stationed there, or the chief inspector, is my Senior Sister Jiang Feiyan, right?"

"indeed so."

When Duan Shu heard where Li Mo wanted to work, her eyes suddenly lit up!
"She is the chief inspector of the Tianming Division of Bai'an County, and holds a seventh-rank official position in the imperial court. If you go there, it will be convenient for you to do things in the future."

After Li Mo completed the registration, he stood in an empty place and continued to wait quietly.

Half an hour later.

Only after everyone had completed their registration did Ye Qing shout out calmly.

"Li Mo, Jiang Sheng, Shi Yongjie, the three of you stay here. The rest of you can follow the various sects to recruit new members and leave."

The disciples in the training hall left one after another.

In the blink of an eye.

There were only three disciples left in front of the hall: Li Mo, Jiang Sheng and Shi Yongjie. For a moment, there was a feeling of emptiness.

Seeing this, the man in metal armor, his face covered in gray mist, took the initiative to step forward.

"I'm from the military. You can call me Captain Shang. These three storage bags each contain 800 spirit stones, which are subsidies and rewards from the military. You will have three days to prepare. After three days, you will accompany me to Zhongshan State as conscripts to participate in a friendly exchange meeting."

There are still three days of vacation.

This was something Li Mo had not expected.

After the three of them took the storage bag, they all showed their joy, because this was eight hundred spirit stones.

Jiang Sheng and Shi Yongjie's graduation assessment rewards were only seven and five mid-grade spirit stones respectively, which was a big gap from Li Mo's.

"But you must also remember that this is only a truce, not a ceasefire. The war is just being carried out in a different way. We are only preparing for the next war. So you should also take this opportunity to understand the characteristics of the cultivators of the various sects in Lu State and try to win over the cultivators of those small countries."

"Yes!"

Li Mo also took a look at the eight hundred spirit stones in the storage bag.

In the past two days, his income from spirit stones alone has exceeded two thousand.

However, he planned to keep the ten mid-grade spirit stones for use in the future, such as breaking through bottlenecks, arranging flag formations, assembling foundation-building puppets, and other critical moments, so they cannot be moved for the time being.

But even so.

After being promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage, there is a subsidy of 500 spirit stones from the master, plus the subsidy of 800 spirit stones from the military, which adds up to a total of 1,300 spirit stones. In addition, the Foundation Establishment Pill that is no longer used can also be sold, which is another considerable income from spirit stones.

in the afternoon.

Li Mo came to Lingquan Hall.

After he handed the Lingquan Order to the gatekeeper disciple, a Jindan-stage cultivator with dead fish eyes, whom Li Mo had never met before, slowly walked out of the hall.

After looking at Li Mo carefully, he took Li Mo into the yard.

After passing through layers of restrictions, Li Mo entered a hall.

This place was shrouded in a layer of milky white spiritual energy. Li Mo could vaguely see the spiritual pool in the center of the hall, from which spiritual energy visible to the naked eye continued to emerge.

The spiritual energy here is not only extremely rich, but also has a soft and clear feeling, which is completely different from the spiritual energy in Lingzhao Underground Palace that seems to be filling the body with spiritual energy.

Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is far less rich than there, it is more mellow and delicate, as if it has come alive.

Li Mo just took a few deep breaths and felt refreshed.

"You have three hours to practice here, which is enough for you to complete a large circulation."

After the dead fish-eyed monk said this, he warned Li Mo again.

"Don't be greedy. Try to run two big cycles. I will come back in three hours."

"Yes!"

After the monk with dead fish eyes left, Li Mo immediately jumped into the spiritual spring without hesitation.

There was a "plop" sound, and as his body was immersed in the spring water, he suddenly felt a shock, followed by a long groan.

He felt that all the pores on his body were opened in the spring water.

Fine and gentle spiritual energy began to flow into his body continuously, as if he was undergoing a second foundation-building process, completely clearing out the remaining impurities in his body. It was truly an indescribable feeling of beauty.

After Li Mo let out a long sigh, he didn't dare to delay any longer and began to practice the Great Circulation in the spiritual spring.

An hour and a half later.

After he completed a complete circulation, he felt relaxed and happy, and his whole body was unobstructed.

This feeling was indeed like completing the foundation-building again. His initial stage of foundation-building had been completely stabilized. The flow of his magic power was obviously smoother, and his perception of the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to be much sharper.

This made him think of something.

If he had come here to soak in the spiritual spring before building his foundation, then the process of building his foundation would undoubtedly have been much easier.

While the time was still yet to come, Li Mo didn't want to waste the precious opportunity here, so he quickly closed his eyes, calculated the time, and tried to condense the thunder crystal in the spiritual spring.

Then he was shocked to find that the speed of condensing thunder crystals here was countless times faster than that in the outside world!
Li Mo did not immerse himself in it. When the time was almost up, he stopped condensing. At this moment, the thunder crystal had been condensed nearly half!

This is incredible.

"In other words, the process of refining lightning crystals may not only rely on mana compression, but also rely on some external forces, such as some special substances in the spiritual spring. Is the secret technique developed by Tian Fen only limited to his knowledge at the Qi training stage?"

Li Mo stretched his body as much as possible in the spiritual spring, enjoying the indescribable beauty.

"Time is up."

It was not until the dead-eyed monk entered the hall again that Li Mo sighed in his heart and walked out of the spiritual spring.

After Li Mo got ashore, the water stains on his clothes evaporated on their own and dissipated in the air.

When Li Mo looked back, he found that the density of spiritual energy in this hall was obviously thinner than before he came.

From this point of view.

Obviously, this place will not be open to the public often, but it is necessary to continuously accumulate spiritual energy. Only when it accumulates to a certain density can it achieve this special effect of improving physical fitness.
