First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 294: Pleasant Surprise

"You little brat, are you trying to deceive my old eyes?" Chen An laughed and scolded, accepting ten high-grade spirit stones and pushing back the remaining spirit stones, pills, and other items.

"Mengze's message only mentioned these numbers."

"As for the rest, you can take them back. Your own cultivation also requires a lot of resources."

"Besides, in the past six months, you have already given me a lot of spirit stones, pills, and other resources."

"You should keep them for yourself. Don't give them to me anymore!"

However, Shen Mo did not take back the remaining spirit stones and other items.

Instead, his expression became serious, and he said, "Why are you treating me like this, Uncle Chen?"

"Since my parents passed away, you have treated me like your own child. I didn't want to use the spirit stones, so I bought pills to help me improve my cultivation."

"Now, although I can't be considered successful, I have some spare resources."

"It's only right for me to show my filial piety to you, right?"

Shen Mo insisted, and Chen An couldn't refuse him, so he had to accept the remaining cultivation resources.

"Momo has made progress!"

A hint of satisfaction appeared on Chen An's face.

He still remembered that a year and a half ago, this kid in front of him was thinking about leaving the sect and becoming a wealthy man.

Unexpectedly, since that day, he had indeed diligently cultivated and his cultivation level had improved day by day.

He had even achieved some significant accomplishments!

Originally, it was him and his daughter who took care of this kid, but now the roles had reversed, and he was the one taking care of them.

"Gulp!"

Chen An drank a cup of spirit wine, slammed the cup heavily on the table, exhaled a breath of alcohol, and said, "Momo, give me an honest answer."

"Is there really no possibility between you and Mengze?"

Seeing that Uncle Chen was still concerned about this matter, Shen Mo couldn't help but smile.

"To be honest with Uncle Chen, I have already met and gotten to know Zhao's daughter."

"If nothing unexpected happens, I should become her Dao companion in the future."

"As for Senior Sister Mengze, let's not talk about my feelings. She is focused on cultivation and doesn't seem to have such thoughts."

"Uncle Chen, instead of worrying about Mengze's marriage..."

"Why not take advantage of your prime years and marry a few concubines to continue the Chen family bloodline?"

Shen Mo was not joking with Uncle Chen.

With a lifespan of two hundred years in the Qi Gathering stage, Uncle Chen was indeed in his prime years considering his age.

And Shen Mo could see that in these years, Uncle Chen had not taken any concubines, probably feeling guilty about Mengze's mother.

Now, the Liu and Wu families had already been destroyed.

The remaining few people in the Body Tempering stage had lost their family and the support of those in the Qi Gathering stage. Life in Dasheng Mountain and Zizhu Valley would definitely be difficult.

In addition to the jade slips Shen Mo distributed, they probably wouldn't have a place to stay if they returned to Sishui City.

Having avenged their great enmity, it was time for Uncle Chen to let go of the past and start considering the future.

Chen An also understood the meaning behind Shen Mo's words and angrily scolded, "What! Are you trying to be a matchmaker for me?"

"If Uncle Chen is interested, I can lower my dignity and help you find one or two."

Upon hearing this, Chen An paused for a moment, hummed a few times, drank his wine, and changed the topic.

"It's a pity for Mengze, she doesn't have this blessing!"

"A few years ago, when I tried to match you two, I was hoping to find a good husband for Mengze so that you two could support each other on the Immortal Path and take care of me in my old age."

"If you two could have a son and a daughter, it would be even better."

"When I go west, it will be more lively!"

Shen Mo poured wine for Uncle Chen, smiled lightly, and responded, "It's fine the way it is now."

"Although Mengze and I don't have a romantic relationship."

"We can still support and rely on each other on the path to immortality."

"Moreover, when Uncle Chen passes away, I will still have to mourn for you and carry your coffin back to the mountain."

"......"

After a feast, Shen Mo, feeling slightly intoxicated, returned to the sect through a teleportation array.

With some free time on his hands, it was only natural for him to go to the lakeside cottage and find Zhao Lingyin to enjoy the moonlight together.

With a beautiful woman by his side, Shen Mo was somewhat absent-minded.

He had originally planned to spend the night at the cottage, but ended up being chased out by Zhao Lingyin with a flushed face.

This made Shen Mo quite depressed.

He secretly complained to himself. He didn't have any other intentions, he just wanted to spend more time with the woman he loved.

Not long after returning to his residence, Shen Mo was summoned by Elder Huang.

When Shen Mo arrived, Elder Huang first reprimanded him, saying that he should not have tried to compete with Tian Qisheng in a show of strength.

But afterwards, he praised him.

He said that the Peak Master, Zhou Shili, had also heard about this news and greatly appreciated Shen Mo's actions in Hongye City.

Moreover, the Peak Master had specifically sought out the Chief of the Immortal Affairs Hall, Tian Zhaoquan, and the Peak Master of Mingyue Peak, Yuan Jing.

He criticized Tian Zhaoquan for not being able to control the clan members and allowing the Spirit Sea Realm members to bully the appointed commander of the sect.

Yuan Jing had similar words.

After all, Tian Zhaoquan was still an elder of Mingyue Peak, while Shen Mo was a disciple of Xingchen Peak. It was only natural for Zhou Shili to come and find him.

The actions of Peak Master Zhou Shili indicated that he wanted to support Shen Mo!

Shen Mo, at the Qi Gathering Realm, defeated Linghai...

Although a tall tree attracts the wind, it was not without its benefits!

In Peak Master Zhou Shili's eyes, Shen Mo's status had already surpassed his direct disciple, Lu Ming.

If it weren't for his important task of going to the Youzhou Ghost Corpse Sect, he would have definitely summoned Shen Mo and encouraged him.

Even the Sect Master, Yuan Qingshi, and several Supreme Elders were paying close attention to him at this time.

The previous achievement of defeating Pei Yuzhen had already made many high-level members of the sect aware that Xingchen Peak had such a talented individual.

After defeating Tian Qisheng, Yuan Qingshi and the others had even higher expectations for him.

"Kid, these treasures are bestowed by the sect."

"There are life-saving treasures, as well as heavenly treasures that can increase your cultivation. In addition, the Peak Master has also given you three jade talismans."

"In a life-or-death situation, you just need to crush the jade talisman, and the Peak Master will come to your rescue."

"This talisman is of extremely high grade. Even if you go to the secret realm or even the demon realm, where sound transmission talismans are blocked, this talisman will not fail."

Elder Huang took out a jade box and handed it to Shen Mo.

"Hmm?"

Shen Mo was caught off guard by this sudden reward.

Dazed, he took the jade box and opened it, only to find that it was filled with four treasures.

A wooden puppet.

A small bottle of precious medicine.

A silver silk inner armor.

Three sparkling jade talismans.

"What is this..."

For a moment, a great joy surged in Shen Mo's heart.

Each of these treasures was invaluable, and there was also a jade scroll next to them, recording the relevant information and usage of these treasures.

"Not bad, kid! The sect values you no less than its core disciples."

"You should cultivate diligently and avoid danger in the future. Don't follow in the footsteps of Fairy Pei Yuzhen!"

"When you achieve success in your cultivation in the future, don't forget the grace of the sect." Elder Huang smiled and patted Shen Mo on the shoulder.

Shen Mo suddenly realized.

It turned out that in addition to the sect's appreciation, the Sect Master, Supreme Elders, and Peak Master were also worried that he would meet the same fate as Fairy Pei Yuzhen and fall midway on the path of cultivation!
