Immortal Rebel: The Obstacles!

The Wild Forest is located to the west of Tianshui City, shrouded in mist year-round, making it quite mysterious.

Within the jungle, ancient trees reach for the sky, a riot of color. The ground is covered with withered branches and leaves, and many venomous reptiles dart by.

Ancient trees are everywhere, rare and exotic plants cover the ground, and countless birds and beasts fight each other. In addition, there is a stench emanating from the rotting corpses of animals and decaying leaves. This stench accumulates over time and eventually turns into miasma that can kill people invisibly.

This place is shrouded in mist all year round, and countless plants grow strangely. At its entrance stands a young man with a youthful face and sharp features, wearing a purple robe that moves without wind.

This person is none other than Li Mozhi!

Current progress: thirteen days

After Li Mozhi arrived in the wild jungle area, the system's side quests were updated accordingly.

The rewards for other progress levels remain unchanged. Only the rewards for the progress Li Mozhi achieved during the disbandment of the Hengyue Sect have changed for the three days, seven days, and half a month.

This shows that as long as Li Mozhi doesn't complete the subsequent tasks, the rewards will remain unchanged.

"The first three rewards from this mission are actually quite useful," Li Mozhi muttered to himself, his eyes narrowing slightly.

The Liming Straw Hat was made by Quezi of the Vermilion Bird Nebula. It contains countless exquisite formations. When the user wears it, the whole person will be surrounded by golden light, which can block divine sense from probing.

Unless one's cultivation level is two ranks higher than the user's, it is impossible to discern the user's appearance.

"A very good concealment artifact that can reduce the number of times my true face is exposed to Wang Lin, so as to prevent him from becoming suspicious."

The Thousand Illusions is an illusionary magic treasure from the Illusion City, a fifth-level cultivation kingdom. It is divided into three levels, from the Nascent Soul stage to the Nascent Soul Transformation stage. Apart from being able to conjure illusions of high-level supernatural cultivators to frighten opponents, it has no practical use.

"Thousand Illusions? That intimidating magic weapon that Ah-Dai gave Wang Lin? This magic weapon doesn't seem to be very useful."

Li Mozhi smiled helplessly, "But the Spirit Sacrifice Sheath rewarded after half a month is a good thing."

"The Sacrifice Spirit Sheath was made by the Immortal Emperor Qinglin of the Rain Immortal Realm using the Shuoxian Gold from the Sword Washing Pool. By incorporating the Rain Immortal Sword into it, the sword spirit can be strengthened. If other flying swords or magical treasures are inserted at different depths, their power can be gradually increased."

Li Mozhi's current progress in obstructing the process is thirteen days, which is the same as the progress made when the Hengyue Sect was disbanded.

After the system mission was issued, Li Mozhi left Wang Lin in the Hengyue Sect and successfully blocked Wang Lin for 28 days. Because it was less than 30 days, he only received the reward for 15 days. The extra 13 days would be automatically transferred to this side mission.

At this time, Wang Lin had not yet been chased by Teng Li to the wild jungle area, so the system progress was only at thirteen days and had not been calculated further.

"The timeline has been moved forward by four years, so Wang Lin is still going to be hunted down by Teng Li..." Li Mozhi muttered to himself.

Li Mozhi's sudden emergence preserved the Hengyue Sect, and Wang Lin was able to establish his foundation as a result, but it did not change the fact that Wang Lin would be hunted down by Teng Li.

Since Wang Lin left the Hengyue Sect, Li Mozhi did not follow him, but instead rushed to the wild jungle. Therefore, he was unaware of the various things Wang Lin experienced after leaving the mountain.

However, judging from the side quests issued by the system, they will eventually be hunted down to this place by Teng Li.

A glint of light flashed in Li Mozhi's eyes. He buried this doubt in his heart and stopped thinking about it.

Li Mozhi had already devised a way to stop Wang Lin this time, and he was determined to get the reward for stopping him for a month!

Li Mozhi spread his divine sense, his figure flickered, and he quickly traversed through the jungle.

Suddenly, his body stopped moving.

Looking from afar, he noticed a vine growing on the surface of a giant tree.

This vine looks quite ordinary; apart from a thin blue line faintly visible on its surface, its shape is not much different from other vines.

"Is this the initial seedling of the Blue Thread Vine?" Li Mozhi walked forward slowly and examined it carefully.

During these few steps, Li Mozhi did not use any spiritual power.

As mentioned in the original work, this thing is extremely sensitive to magical energy.

Although it is currently just a seedling of the blue vine and its power may not be as great as rumored, Li Mozhi did not want to cause any more trouble at this crucial moment.

"In the original story, Wang Lin used the Blue Thread Vine seedling to deplete Teng Li's only remaining gold ingot; otherwise, the tug-of-war between the two sides would have lasted even longer!"

Li Mozhi pondered for a moment, without using any spiritual power, and carefully pinched the vine with his thumb and forefinger, slowly pulling it out along the direction of the giant tree.

During the process, he was highly focused and gradually pulled the vine out of the giant tree's embrace. At this point, the vine was independent and no longer attached to the giant tree.

Li Mozhi had already pulled the blue vine seedling in front of him about three inches away. He pinched the vine with his left thumb and forefinger and slowly squatted down.

With a burst of strength in both hands, without relying on the spiritual power within his body, the veins bulged out, clinging to his skin like writhing dragons. Li Mozhi's expression darkened, and he inwardly uttered a low shout.

"rise!"

After about several dozen breaths, Li Mozhi finally managed to uproot the blue vine seedling by brute force.

Looking at the 50-inch-long blue vine seedling in front of him, Li Mozhi's expression hardened. He first threw it on the ground, then turned and slowly walked away into the distance.

After returning to the previous position, he made a hand seal with his right hand and pointed, and a flame ignited on the ground, which in the blink of an eye turned into a raging fire.

Li Mozhi strode over to the blue vine seedling, picked it up, and then turned and threw it into the fire.

"Crackling and popping!"

The blue vine seedlings writhed in the flames, and a pungent smell filled the air. Li Mozhi frowned, covered his nose with one hand, and watched the scene unfold quietly.

It took about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn for the blue thread vine seedlings to be completely burned.

"This little destructive plant is really a bug. It is extremely sensitive to spiritual power, but you have to use spiritual power to destroy it. However, it is still a plant, so ordinary fire can burn it to ashes."

"I have destroyed the Blue Thread Vine, so Wang Lin's advantage is gone."

"That way, the two of them will be back to square one!"

"Next, I need to find Lord Zi, who is sleeping deep in the wild jungle. I can't let him disrupt my plans."

"Lord Zi, I've arrived!"
