Chen Mo scooped Ye Yunshu up in his arms and strode toward the bathroom.

Ye Yunshu clung to him, her face burning, and punched him lightly.

"Xingyao is still watching..."

No sooner had she finished speaking than slippers slapped up behind her.

"Sister Yunshu! You're not allowed to eat alone!"

Lu Xingyao grabbed the hem of his clothes.

Without turning his head, Chen Mo freed one arm and tucked her under his armpit, then kicked open the bathroom door.

"Hey hey hey."

Close the door.

The next morning, Chen Mo got up feeling refreshed, put on a T-shirt, took out a cigarette, lit it, and stood on the balcony puffing away.

After holding it in for over a month, I made up for it all in one night.

comfortable.

After finishing his cigarette and going downstairs, he had to keep the pile of jade boxes in the living room neatly arranged.

With a flick of his hand, he collected them all into the bronze ring.

The two women happened to be coming downstairs when they witnessed this scene.

Lu Xingyao leaned closer, examining his wrist for the unassuming bronze ring, her eyes sparkling.

"Brother Mo, when are you going to get me one of these rings too? I won't have to carry bags when I go grocery shopping anymore."

"Buying groceries?"

Chen Mo flicked her forehead with his finger.

"A single herb from this plant could buy ten vegetable markets."

Lu Xingyao covered her forehead and pouted.

Ye Yunshu, dressed neatly, asked as she changed her shoes.

Are you going to the lab again today?

"I'm not going."

"Um?"

"I'll practice alchemy at home today."

Alchemy?

The two women were both stunned; they had never seen Chen Mo refine pills before.

Ye Yunshu postponed company matters until the afternoon.

Lu Xingyao was even more direct. She moved a stool to the middle of the living room, sat down, washed an apple, and said she wanted to broaden her horizons.

Chen Mo ignored them and took out a set of medicinal herbs from his ring.

The next scene was one that the two women would never forget.

He raised his hand and made a grasping motion, his inner force penetrating his body and transforming into a layer of bluish-green qi, which completely enveloped the medicinal herbs, suspending them in mid-air.

There's no stove.

No fire.

The qi surged and stirred, causing the medicinal herbs to melt, purify, and condense at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The room was filled with the aroma of medicine.

A moment later, the protective energy dissipated.

Twenty-two deep purple pills hung suspended in mid-air, each perfectly round, their purple light subtly contained.

pat.

Lu Xingyao's apple fell to the ground.

"Brother Mo, no fire, no alchemy furnace?"

Her eyes widened in surprise.

"Your alchemy is different from what you see on TV! And it's done already?"

"罡气 is fire."

Chen Mo flipped his wrist and put the pill into the jade bottle.

"It works better than any other kind of fire."

Ye Yunshu did not speak.

But her hand holding the teacup remained suspended in mid-air, not putting it down for a long time.

She comes from a top-tier family and considers herself worldly-wise.

But this move completely shattered her understanding of the world.

This is hardly alchemy.

This is a magic trick.

One serving, two servings, ten servings.

Chen Mo practiced from morning until the sun began to set, during which he smoked two cigarettes and ate a meal.

All twenty portions of medicinal herbs have been refined.

Twenty jade bottles were lined up on the table, each containing twenty-two jade pieces.

Four hundred and forty pieces, all in top condition!

Lu Xingyao counted the bottles one by one, her eyes widening in disbelief as she finished.

"Brother Mo, how much would one of these sell for?"

"Priceless! Besides, I'm not short of money."

Chen Mo put all the jade bottles into his ring and stood up.

"I will be going into seclusion starting today, the date is uncertain. Yunshu, you are in charge of all company matters, no need to report to me."

Ye Yunshu nodded.

"Hey, what about me?"

Lu Xingyao raised her hand.

"You should work harder at cultivation; see how much your cultivation level is behind Yun Shu's."

……

The villa's bedrooms are large and have en-suite bathrooms; once the door is closed, it becomes your own private world.

Chen Mo sat cross-legged on the carpet and tossed a Purple Marrow Pill into his mouth.

boom.

The medicinal power exploded in the dantian, circulating through nine major cycles, and was completely digested.

He didn't even lift his eyelids, and threw another one in his hand.

Three a day.

For others, one a day is considered a life-threatening effort; for him, three a day is routine.

The Transcendent Realm Earth-Level Heart Sutra makes his meridians resilient; that's his asset.

As for the bottleneck?

He doesn't have that thing.

What others see as an insurmountable barrier is a straight road for him; he can just close his eyes and keep pushing forward.

On the fifth night, his internal energy surged suddenly, and the circulation of his internal energy accelerated.

Mid-stage Grandmaster!

Chen Mo didn't even open his eyes before stuffing another one into his mouth.

Twelve days later, his internal energy increased again.

Late-stage Grandmaster!

Next comes a major hurdle.

For most people, it's common to spend ten or eight years getting from a Grandmaster to a Great Grandmaster; many more get stuck at this hurdle their entire lives.

Chen Mo didn't care.

Take the medicine as usual, and let your body circulate as usual.

Early morning of the twenty-third day.

A muffled thud came from inside the body.

The internal force suddenly contracted, then exploded in the next moment, surging through the meridians with the force of a river bursting its banks.

Chen Mo sensed the surging power within his body, surging and seemingly endless.

Grandmaster!

Chen Mo opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

In just over a month, he progressed from the early stage of Grandmaster to the early stage of Great Grandmaster.

He looked down at his hands and grinned.

If word got out that this speed was happening, the entire Tianxuan Continent would be sleepless.

Calming himself down, Chen Mo continued taking the drugs.

The pill is still the same pill; its medicinal power remains as intense and surging as ever upon entering the body, without the slightest reduction.

But after a full cycle...

His cultivation level remained completely unchanged.

He frowned and refined another one.

Do not move.

On the third day, he took three pills in a row, and his cultivation circulated nine times, making his cultivation level as stable as if it were welded shut.

Chen Mo stopped, lit a cigarette, and took a drag, going over the whole story from beginning to end.

The pills are fine.

There's nothing wrong with my health.

The internal energy circulates smoothly and seamlessly, better than ever before.

What went wrong?

He had just finished smoking when he realized what was going on, and leaned against the headboard, cursing under his breath.

Gongfa.

The mental cultivation method he practices is at the Earth level.

The Earth-Rank Mind Technique can elevate a person to the level of Grandmaster.

The path beyond that is not depicted in this cultivation method at all.

Even if you floor the accelerator in a dead end, the car won't fly away.

Chen Mo glanced at the more than thirty jade bottles and over three hundred top-grade Purple Marrow Pills in the bronze ring.

I was so angry at this scene that I laughed.

There's enough grain to last a year.

The chopsticks were taken away.

If you want to go any higher, there is only one way.

Change your cultivation method to a Heavenly Rank or a unique skill.

The first person that popped into Chen Mo's mind was Ru Hua, the Right Protector of the Crimson Fire Sect.

Their leader is an exceptionally beautiful woman.

His strength is unfathomable; he is a true grandmaster.

He also possessed a supreme-level martial art.

I wonder if that stunningly beautiful sect leader has emerged from seclusion yet.

Previously, Chen Mo was only a Grandmaster, so he was bound to feel nervous if he were to actually meet her.

If the negotiations break down, he may not be able to return safely.

It's different now.

He was also a grandmaster.

He coveted the cultivation technique.

He was even more envious of the cult leader he had never met.

It has been more than three months since we returned to Blue Star, but according to the flow rates on both sides, only one month has passed on the Tianxuan Continent.

In a month, things can't get much worse.

Just right.

He left the bedroom and greeted the two women.

"Having just broken through to a higher realm, I still need to go into seclusion to consolidate my strength, which will take at least ten days to half a month. I've locked the door from the inside, so don't let anyone disturb me."

Chen Mo returned to the bedroom and locked the door with a click.

He stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and stood up.

The next second, the person had disappeared from the room.

P.S.: Since the rating dropped from 7.3 to 6.9, the book's ratings have been steadily declining.

I plan to speed things up and finish writing as soon as possible.
