Martial Arts Sainthood Begins with the Tiger-Taming Fist

Chen Mo followed Xie Xingkai's footsteps and entered Chengyun Pavilion again, going up to the third floor.

At this moment, only Yan Tan remained in the hall.

After bringing Chen Mo to his destination, Xie Xingkai left on his own.

Chen Mo looked calmly at Yan Tan.

After a moment of eye contact, Yan Tan spoke:

"Chen Mo, what mission did you receive when you entered Nine Swords Mountain?"

Chen Mo replied truthfully, "I'm on duty at the old mine."

Yan Tan briefly recalled what the old mine was, then flicked her sleeve and said:

"An old, useless mine. The sect doesn't value it and it's now in a semi-abandoned state."

Chen Mo frowned slightly. "Although it's not highly regarded, it's relatively quiet and the daily life is quite leisurely."

Yan Tan shook his head slightly, "New disciples should do more work at this stage, rather than thinking about comfort and leisure."

Chen Mo was somewhat confused. "Please enlighten me, Elder Yan."

Yan Tan looked thoughtful, and then said, "How about this, I'll write a letter to Zhenbaolou and appoint you as a manager."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo's expression froze.

"Elder Yan is referring to the Treasure Pavilion on Zhengyang Peak?"

"Where else could it be? The Zhenbao Tower of Nine Swords Mountain is the only one of its kind."

Upon hearing Yan Tan's confirmation, even with Chen Mo's composure, he could not hide his excitement.

The Zhenbao Tower on Zhengyang Peak gathers rare treasures from Jiujian Mountain and is also the most difficult tower to enter.

Among the dozens of missions offered by Chengyun Pavilion, there is no Zhenbao Tower to choose from.

Let alone being a manager, even an ordinary disciple who occasionally enters the Treasure Pavilion has to pay thirty taels of silver.

Inside that building, there were thousands of treasures, and the air was filled with a precious atmosphere. Even staying for an extra hour would be beneficial to both body and mind.

Therefore, those who can be in charge of things are all people with powerful backgrounds.

Yan Tan, as the deputy peak master of Linzhi Peak, certainly has this power and connections.

The essence of mountains and waters needed for cultivating martial arts can probably be found mostly in the Treasure Pavilion.

Therefore, Zhenbaolou is indeed suitable for Chen Mo.

only……

Perhaps Yan Tan has ulterior motives behind this move?

Chen Mo pondered carefully.

If Yan Tan wanted to harm him, it would be as easy as turning her hand; there was no need to offer a piece of candy and then strike him with a stick.

Therefore, is Yan Tan's move merely a means of winning over Yan Tan?

What they valued was Chen Mo's talent for the Tai Chen Ying Huo chapter, and even the Tai Chen Ying Huo chapter itself.

But wasn't Chen Mo's display of strength this time precisely to get closer to the resources of Nine Swords Mountain?

In this world, there is always a coexistence of benefits and dangers.

Now that the opportunity is right in front of him, how could he possibly give it up?

I'll think about it.

Chen Mo said solemnly, "This disciple thanks Elder Yan for his guidance! This disciple is willing to go!"

Yan Tan nodded slightly, and then said:

"Although you have exceptional talent in the Tai Chen Ying Huo chapter, your cultivation level has not yet reached the Transformation Realm. Ultimately, a martial artist's level is determined by their cultivation level. Therefore, you need to reach the Transformation Realm as soon as possible. You should be aware of this yourself."

Chen Mo nodded. "Thank you for your guidance, Elder. I am working hard on it."

"Speaking of the Tai Chen and Ying Huo chapters..."

Yan Tan paused for a moment, "I also looked at it for a while, but it was like being blinded by a fog, I couldn't see anything clearly. How exactly did you... cross this threshold?"

at last……

As Chen Mo expected, the other party would definitely ask about the cultivation methods of the Tai Chen Ying Huo Chapter.

He quickly delivered his prepared answer without any hesitation.

His answer contained a mixture of truth and falsehood, and he omitted key points such as the Fire-Separating Mystery Technique and the Mountain and Water Nourishing Technique.

This makes the other party feel that his answer is not fabricated, but it is also like a mirage, impossible to truly grasp.

Chen Mo knew that his opponent lacked the Li Huo Xuan Gong and could not possibly master the Tai Chen Ying Huo Pian. He was the only one in the entire Nine Swords Mountain who had mastered this skill.

Therefore, when the other party fails to practice the skill, they will only feel that the skill is not suitable for them, and will not doubt the other party.

After listening, Yan Tan had no doubts. She simply memorized all the key points and nodded as if she had understood something.

A short while later.

Yan Tan snapped out of her daze, grabbed a pen and paper, quickly wrote a letter of introduction, and handed it to Chen Mo. "This is a letter of introduction for Zhenbao Tower. When you get there, just give it to the guards inside."

Chen Mo accepted the gift with both hands and bowed to express his gratitude.

"Go back now," Yan Tan said, issuing a dismissal order.

Chen Mo nodded in agreement and left the main room.

After leaving Chengyun Pavilion, he walked quickly across the square in front of the pavilion without stopping for a moment, heading towards the old mine.

He planned to break through to the Transformation Realm at the old mine first, and then return to live in the Fangyuan. He would never go to the old mine again.

Anyway, we're going to Zhenbaolou later.

Halfway there, a person suddenly jumped out from the side of the road.

Chen Mo stopped and looked up. The other person was Xiao Chi from Su Yuan.

Chen Mo was slightly taken aback. "Senior Brother Xiao stopped me halfway, you don't mean you just want to chat with me, do you?"

Xiao Chi blocked half of Chen Mo's body and said, "Junior Brother Chen got the best score in the cultivation test, and sure enough, you've become arrogant. But you're just a mere internal strength cultivator right now. What good is it if you're good at cultivation? When we go to Wind and Thunder Valley, an internal strength cultivator will die there and no one will remember you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo suddenly realized something.

Today at Chengyun Pavilion, Elder Jinwu said that Liaoyuan Academy, Jingshui Academy, and Su Academy will each send one senior disciple to go to Fenglei Valley together.

Judging from Xiao Chi's tone, could it be that Su Yuan went there because of him?

Chen Mo raised this question.

As expected, the other party did not deny it. "Three years ago, I went to Wind and Thunder Valley. The environment there...tsk tsk...I'll take good care of you then..."

After saying this, Xiao Chi revealed a sinister expression and turned to leave.

Xiao Chi wanted to avenge Xiao Ming, and he chose Fenglei Valley as his location. This decision may have been at Su Lian's behest.

In short, this trip was more dangerous than I had imagined.

But the other party was right about one thing: killing someone in Fenglei Valley is very easy to cover up, and the blame for the murder can be shifted to spirits or strange beasts, while one can remain uninvolved.

But conversely, who kills whom isn't killing...

Chen Mo clenched his fists, thinking to himself that he must reach the Transformation Realm as soon as possible...

Returning to the old mine, he took out all the pills he had accumulated over the past few days.

Pills for strengthening the body, pills made from nine-leaf orchids, ...

He took them one by one.

The medicinal power transformed into warm currents flowing through the meridians.

Now, I have already entered the Tai Chen Ying Huo chapter.

Logically speaking, the time has come, the threshold for breaking through to the Transformation Realm has been broken, and now all that is needed is to calmly try to break through.

Having cultivated the skills of mountains and rivers, when breaking through realms, the threshold is not as high as for others; it is more like water flowing into a channel.

Thinking this, Chen Mo sealed the door shut and then sat down quietly.

Feeling the medicinal power surging through his body, he repeatedly circulated the Tai Chen Ying Huo Chapter's operating route.

Once.

Twice.

……

Ten times.

A hundred times.

……

On the 120th repetition, there was a sudden sign of merging within the meridians of the body.

Ming Jin (明劲) refers to external force, while An Jin (暗劲) refers to internal force.

The transformation of force combines the two and then evolves into a completely new kind of force.

The feeling grew stronger, and his expression became serious.
