Binding to the nation's destiny: Start by choosing the underworld, where a hundred ghosts parad

"Greetings, Elder Lin!"

The Fang brothers and Ding Shidi bowed to the woman together.

The woman was of medium build, not the thin type, but rather possessed an air of authority.

An oval face, with no particularly outstanding features, but together they create a unique charm. Sharp eyes, as if able to see into a person's heart and see through everything about them.

Li Mo could clearly see his own reflection in that face.

He couldn't help but wonder if his mother really looked like that.

"What are you staring at? Come with me! You all wait here."

The cold voice woke Li Mo. He looked at this nominal mother, who seemed even more cold-hearted than his sect leader father!

Li Mo quietly followed behind the elder woman to a courtyard next door. The elder woman opened the door, stepped aside to let Li Mo go in first, and then closed the door.

He tapped the table with his chin and sat down on the stool next to it.

"Why are you so quiet? Is it because of your failed attempt at flying again? You've failed so many times, why aren't you used to it? I heard you've been staying in your room these past few days, are you upset?"

Li Mo was somewhat surprised that his elder mother spoke so casually; her style was even more like his father's than that of the sect leader!

Is being a mother really that casual?

Li Mo didn't say anything to avoid misunderstanding by the elder, and snorted lightly, "How pathetic!"

The elder said easily, "Don't worry, I've been researching this. I'll definitely have a result before you die. At the very least, it will improve your health and prevent you from dying young. It's good for you to go out and have some fun this time and relax."

Li Mo couldn't help but laugh.

"I understand. I'm not worried about not living long, I'm just a little depressed. Maybe I'll learn it this time I go out. If it weren't for the convenience of travel, I wouldn't have practiced so hard."

The elder woman nodded in agreement and joined in the吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for complaining/criticizing

"That's right, it's really frustrating that you need someone to take you on a date with a junior sister."

Li Mo couldn't help but feel a black line appear on his forehead. This elder's topic has gone a bit too far astray!

Seemingly seeing that Li Mo didn't respond, the elder patted his shoulder reassuringly: "It's alright. Even if he never does, with your father's status, he can still find a wife. Just raise the next generation well, and it will be worth it."

Li Mo felt a pang of unease upon hearing these words.

Does this mean I can give up and focus my energy on the next generation?!

Well, this is definitely his biological child. Most people wouldn't say something like that. Now, Li Mo didn't know how to respond, so he could only change the subject.

"Is there something you need to tell me?"

The elder woman finally remembered the important matter and pulled out a table full of bottles and jars from her bosom.

Then he picked up a dark blue bottle and showed it to Li Mo: "This contains some pills that I've researched that can improve your body. Although the effect isn't huge, it'll do its best to repair it a little."

After saying that, he casually tossed it to Li Mo, as if it were a broken bottle he had picked up from the street.

Then he picked up the earthen-yellow bottle on the table: "You can't use this. It's for you to use as a favor. It contains Qi-replenishing pills to restore spiritual power. If your spiritual power is depleted, you can use it on them."

This time, instead of throwing it away, he casually placed it on the table and then picked up a bottle of blue.

"This is a Vitality Pill, also given to you as a favor, for healing injuries. Give it to anyone who is injured."

The elder introduced several bottles of pills in a row. Except for the first one, the other dozen or so bottles were for other people to use, which made Li Mo speechless.

How come he looks like a mobile warehouse?

If you can't even use the things you're bringing, then what's the point of bringing them?

Li Mo was getting impatient listening. Just as he was losing focus, he felt a sharp pain on his forehead. He looked up and saw the elder's hand that she had just withdrawn.

"Don't be impatient, I was about to be impatient too, but if you don't bring these things with you, you'll just be a burden. Who will care if you live or die? With these things, at least you'll be a mobile medicine storehouse, and people will take care of you."

Li Mo was somewhat moved when he heard the elder's cold voice.

Guo Rang still tried to reason with himself, and although the perspective was different, there was a reason that he couldn't refute.

"I understand, I will take them with me."

"Alright, I know you don't want to hear it, and I'm too lazy to explain. You'll see for yourself when the time comes. Anyway, you already know. Didn't your dad give you a storage bag? Put it away. Tell me, what did he prepare for you?"

After Li Mo tidied up all the bottles on the table, he told the elder woman in detail about what his sect leader father had given him.

Chapter 610: So many good things? Sign up if you're in trouble! (Please subscribe)

As expected, he received merciless ridicule from the elder's wife.

"Hmph! All you think about is bringing money. The problem is, money isn't always useful. Here, take this."

As he spoke, another large cloth bag appeared on the table. Li Mo estimated that the bag was about the size of a standard small single-person suitcase.

Because it was wrapped so tightly, you couldn't see what was inside at all.

“I’ve prepared six sets of clothes for you here. You’re different from the others. They can solve this with a dust removal spell. Can you do it? Your spiritual power isn’t even enough to lift your arm.”

Li Mo was somewhat amused and exasperated. Did raising an arm require spiritual energy?! Did it?! Did it?!

Seeing the elder's irritated expression, Li Mo silently put the item back into his storage bag.

The result was a cold snort from the elder's wife.

"Let me tell you, your mother is one of the four elders of the Yunqi Sect, and your father is the sect leader of the Yunqi Sect. Although our Yunqi Sect is not the number one sect, it is still in the top five. You can't go out and let others talk about you like that, understand!"

Seemingly not having said enough, the elder continued to add to the story.

"Even if you go out and cause trouble, just mention our names. Remember, don't be stupid and let others bully you. Of course, it's best to keep a low profile and avoid using good things unless everyone around you is one of our own."

As soon as the elder's voice fell, a pile of longswords clattered and crashed onto the table.

“Take all these swords. You said your father only gave you one good sword that couldn’t be refined. What if someone takes a liking to it and steals it? These are extras I prepared for you. Although they’re not as good as the ones your father gave you, it won’t hurt if they get lost or broken, right?”

At this point, Li Mo truly began to admire his elder mother.

As expected of an elder, he thinks things through thoroughly and very practically.

The things my father, the sect leader, and my mother, the elders gave me were two different styles: the former was like a plot from a novel, while the latter was based on real-life situations. It's impossible to say which one was better or worse.

Each one has its own unique features, and Li Mo is now very interested in this level.

Having been given such good parents and mentors, what are they testing me for?

After Li Mo put away the pile of swords, he saw the elder push over a small money bag, which looked very similar to the previous storage bag. The elder also became much more serious.

"The magical artifacts here are for your survival. I have written down the specific usage instructions separately. Do not use them unless absolutely necessary. There are also some poisons in here. Since your strength is insufficient, you can only think of other ways to protect yourself."

Li Mo looked at the elder woman with some surprise, realizing the difference between men and women.

The sect leader wanted to be a pillar of strength, while the elder sister only wanted to live.

Li Mo smiled with emotion and said, "I know. I finally saved the entire sect and haven't even had a chance to enjoy the fruits of my labor yet. I can't bear to die now. I'll be careful and won't go any further."

The elder looked at him intently for a while before nodding, then slapped her forehead.

"Oh, right, there's also a cleaning talisman inside. I had someone draw it for me. If you don't want to do laundry, just take one out and tear it off, and your clothes will be clean. Also, if you come across anything delicious or fun, bring some back for me."

Li Mo smiled and agreed.

Chapter 611: The more you suck, the more you bleed! Just treat it as a trip to another world! (Please customize)

After bidding farewell to his elder sister, Li Mo returned to his dormitory with the Fang brothers.

They saw Li Mo to the door and then left.

After returning home, Li Mo organized the items he had received, placing the ones he could use in easily accessible locations.

Then, just like every day before, he sat on a tree branch in the yard and began to meditate and absorb spiritual energy.

If a genius's talent is like a sponge, rapidly absorbing and storing spiritual energy within their body, then Li Mo is now like a hardened sponge.

Although it can absorb water, the hole is large, so it absorbs a lot but also loses a lot.

Therefore, daily cultivation is like washing your body, allowing spiritual energy to continuously pass through your body, leaving only a tiny bit behind, which is usually imperceptible.

Li Mo felt that the challenge of this survival game might be related to his body.

Since he was already there, he decided to make the best of it and wasn't worried. He figured it was just a trip to another world, and he would enjoy this different world and its unique scenery.

Li Mo felt that he had a good mindset, but the key was that if he didn't, there was nothing he could do but accept whatever came his way.

Having gone through the previous two trials, it seems that the challenges are related to his own emotions or state of mind.

The next morning, the Fang brothers came to find Li Mo to meet at the square in front of the main entrance.

When they arrived at the gathering square, there were fewer people than yesterday. It seemed that quite a few people were going into seclusion or advancing their cultivation levels. When they saw Li Mo coming, all the junior brothers and sisters greeted him.

Li Mo maintained a smiling and nodding posture, carefully observing his junior brothers and sisters.

He didn't believe that everyone would complain, after all, people's hearts are different. The older generation was grateful to him for saving the sect, but these junior brothers and sisters might not treat him the same way.

When the incident happened, I was only four years old. Many of these people probably hadn't even spoken up or didn't remember it at all.

If one doesn't possess the ability to command respect, can these people truly respect one willingly?

Li Mo's thoughts were indeed not random. Although some people were respectful in their words, they did not hide their contempt and indifference well enough in their eyes.

Come to think of it, his physique is no different from that of an ordinary person; in a hundred years, he'll be nothing but dust.

Li Mo kept these people in mind, thinking that he should stay away from them in the future.

They arrived not too early, and after waiting a while, Elder Fang reappeared once everyone had arrived.

"Your mission to descend the mountain this time is to subdue demons, so please be mindful of your words and actions."

Elder Fang was very satisfied to see the disciples on this side nodding obediently.

"This mission also needs a leader, so this car will be led by your senior brother, Fang Liangtian and Fang Liangxuan. You two will assist your senior brother in completing this mission. If anyone is dissatisfied, come back and tell me directly, and the sect rules will take care of it!"

Fang Shi immediately stepped forward, bowed, and clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Yes, Elder Fang, this disciple obeys."

Li Mo looked at Elder Fang above with some surprise, wondering if Elder Fang's attitude towards him was feigned or if he actually had a grudge against him!

How can I get myself to lead the team? I already told him about this before!

He's still thinking about swimming?!
