As dawn broke, the courtyard was quiet and peaceful.

Chen Mo felt refreshed and stretched as he got out of bed. The scene inside the room was indescribable.

The blankets were lying haphazardly, and clothes were scattered all over the floor.

The other three had fallen into a deep sleep, while only Shangguan Hong remained awake.

She leaned against the headboard, breathing heavily, her face flushed, her hair loose over her shoulders.

Seeing Chen Mo get up, she quickly turned her head to the other side, her face flushed, her eyes glancing at Chen Mo from time to time.

As agreed last night, Xu Wanqing deserves the most credit for her contributions.

This reward was a bit too heavy, causing her to fall into a deep sleep early on.

Chen Mo was the one making the moves for the first half of the night, but the three women got excited in the second half and insisted on teaching Shangguan Hong a few tricks.

The dignified leader of the Crimson Fire Sect was surrounded by three women who imparted their knowledge to him like flowers. He was red-faced and furious, but he still compromised.

Later on, the four women got along better and better, and there were no more barriers between them.

Chen Mo quietly put on his clothes and went out.

The mountain breeze in the early morning made me feel more energetic, and I didn't feel any discomfort in my kidneys.

He sat down on the stone bench and brought up the system panel.

【Nine Yang Manual (Maximum Transformation)】

[Rank: Ultimate Skill]

[Description: An ancient martial arts technique, said to have been created by a martial arts prodigy. It is extremely powerful and domineering. Upon mastery, one's internal energy will spontaneously generate, making one indestructible and impervious to all evil.]

[Effect: Maximum Internal Force +1200%, Internal Force Recovery +800%, Constitution +800%, Defense +800%, Resistance +600%]

[Special Effect: Nine Yang Body Protection - Internal energy circulates automatically, forming a three-foot-wide aura of pure Yang energy around the body. External forces approaching the body are automatically dispersed; those of lower cultivation levels will be injured upon contact. Impervious to water and fire, unaffected by heat or cold, and difficult to penetrate with swords and blades.]

【Characteristics: Nine Yang True Essence – Internal energy flows endlessly from the dantian, never running dry. It automatically replenishes energy with each breath during battle, forcefully breaking through meridian blockages. It is impervious to all evils and poisons; any internal energy that touches it is refined. Pure Yang energy nourishes the physical body, significantly increasing lifespan and preventing the decline of Qi and blood.】

The bonuses brought by the Transcendent Realm of the Nine Yang Manual are terrifying; not only internal energy, but also physical constitution and strength are all skyrocketing.

In the past, dealing with the three women, especially his master's wife, often left him with a sore back and aching waist, and sometimes he even had to make excuses to avoid it.

Well now.

It's easy to handle, and you're completely at ease.

Spirit is one thing, but we must not forget our responsibilities.

He pulled himself out of his thoughts and began to make plans for what to do next.

Firstly, the stock of elixirs is limited.

His cultivation speed in the Nine Yang True Scripture, which has reached the Transcendent Realm, is more than ten times that of others, but his consumption of elixirs is also more than ten times that of others.

The remaining inventory is only enough for about twenty days at most.

To reach the mid-stage of a Grandmaster, one still needs at least two or three months of training.

We need to go back to Earth and refine another batch; this is a serious matter that cannot be delayed.

However, before returning to Earth, we must first wipe out the Crimson Fire Cult.

I had heard Shangguan Hong say before that the Crimson Fire Sect had been established for more than 400 years and had a lot of martial arts techniques in its Transmission Hall.

Although higher-level skills are rarer, and there is only one ultimate skill, there are only about a dozen or so in the Heaven and Earth levels combined, but there are quite a few below the Profound level.

Rank doesn't matter, Chen Mo wants them all.

Each skill is quickly entered into the system and leveled up to the highest level, increasing strength, physique, and agility.

One or two techniques may not seem like much, but if you master all the techniques in the entire Transmission Pavilion, little by little, it will lead to another surge in skill level.

This is the power of getting something for nothing.

Secondly, the church also contains many precious medicinal herbs.

The efficacy of the top-grade Purple Marrow Pill has been greatly reduced.

His idea was to bring the medicinal herbs stockpiled by the Crimson Fire Cult back to Earth.

By using genetic engineering to modify and cultivate varieties with stronger medicinal properties, the formula for Zi Sui Dan can be improved to enhance its efficacy.

The resources of Tianxuan Continent, combined with the technology of Blue Star, this is the way a dual-traveler should play.

He can input the cultivation method himself at the Transmission Pavilion.

However, for collecting medicinal herbs and running errands, you need to find trustworthy people.

A name popped into Chen Mo's mind subconsciously.

flowery!

He then gave a wry smile, shook his head, and sighed.

When you think of Ru Hua, you can't help but think of the current state of the Red Fire Sect, which is riddled with problems.

Chen Mo usually hates dealing with these trivial matters, but now that Shangguan Hong is his woman, he has to find a way to help her plug all the holes.

Now that both the left and right protectors are dead, the burden of teaching affairs cannot always fall on Shangguan Hong alone.

He already had his choices in mind: Wang Fucheng, Manager Zhao, Fatty Wang, and Liu Jingting.

Wang Fucheng was originally an official appointed by the imperial court. Managing people and affairs was his forte, and he was quite capable. With a little training, he could be able to take charge on his own.

He could be recruited into the religion and directly become a protector.

The pharmacy owner Zhao, the storyteller Liu Jingting, and Fatty Wang—all three of them could run errands for him.

Once the candidate is decided, the spies within the cult must be completely eliminated.

Ru Hua was planted there from a young age; who can guarantee there won't be a second or third?

You can't find the answer to this kind of thing by guessing.

Chen Mo's solution was simple and crude.

Go back to Earth and get a few lie detectors, then test everyone.

You can lie with words, but you can't fool a machine with numbers like heart rate and sweat gland activity.

Imagine thousands of people lining up to pass through the "demon-revealing mirror"—those with nothing to hide will be open and honest, while those with shifty eyes will tremble. Just thinking about that scene is quite interesting.

Finally, there's the relocation.

The location of the mountain gate has been exposed. If we hold the position, we'll just be sitting there as a target for others to shoot.

Where to move to?

He already had the answer in his heart.

Stone Village.

The first place he landed after crossing was a remote, impoverished area, a place where even birds wouldn't bother, perfect for quietly developing his skills.

When that poor boy left the village, he never imagined that one day he would return with a demonic cult.

I went through the four things in my mind, clearly outlining their order and the personnel arrangements.

The sun climbed up the window.

Chen Mo got up and went back into the room, waking up the four women who were sleeping in various positions.

Qingzhu hugged the blanket and acted spoiled.

"Young master, let me sleep for another quarter of an hour..."

Shangguan Hong sat up alertly.

"What happened?"

Chen Mo sat down on the edge of the bed.

"It's nothing, just a short meeting."

He briefly explained the two matters: the selection of the Dharma protector and the lie detector screening. Shangguan Hong nodded in agreement.

She unconditionally trusted the people Chen Mo chose, and the investigation of the undercover agent was a thorn in her side. She couldn't sleep soundly until Ru Hua, this thorn, was completely removed.

But when it came to the third thing, she hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Relocate your sect? Young master, the Crimson Fire Sect has been established for over a hundred years, and its ancestral temple is located on this mountain."

Chen Mo said slowly and deliberately.

"The ancestral temple is dead, but people are alive. The imperial court knows the location of this mountain; if the army can come once, it can come a second time."

"Can your mountain gate hold back 50,000, or even 500,000? Can it stop someone at the half-step Innate Realm?"

Shangguan Hong stared at him for a long time.

"Where to move to?"

Stone Village.

"Never heard of it..."

Chen Mo smiled.

"That's to be expected. If even you haven't heard of it, the imperial court certainly won't find it."
