The road is vague

Chapter 116 The First Seven Organizations
As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Now that Li Mo has independently refined a low-grade magic weapon, he can be considered a weapon refiner, but he still lacks proficiency.

Especially in the stage of refining the rough blank, he still needs to practice diligently.

Fortunately, he had prepared a lot of basic materials, enough for him to splurge for a while.

With his current financial resources, he is naturally not comparable to the disciples in the Qi training stage. I believe that he will be able to improve his proficiency quickly to ensure the success rate of refining magic tools.

After admiring it for a while.

Li Mo put the low-grade flying sword in his hand into the storage bag and continued to refine a new flying sword.

There are two types of weapon refiners.

One is the traditional weapon refiner. No matter what kind of magic weapon he refines, he must ensure that the magic weapon can fully bring out the value of the basic materials.

The other type is called a blacksmith, who specializes in only one specific type of magical weapon and strives for perfection in forging this type of magical weapon.

Li Mo has the "Lingzhao Sword Manual", and he originally just wanted to be a swordsmith.

But now he has the Left Eye of Tao. Considering the characteristics of the True Spirit Eye of the Lingmu Sect, his mind can't help but become active. If he just forges a sword, it is indeed not in line with the characteristics of the True Spirit Eye.

so.

Li Mo studied Piaomiao language in the morning, weapon refining in the afternoon, and runes at night, and the days passed one by one.

According to the original agreement.

A month later, he came to the Qi family's first seven organizations again.

The one who received him was still just a parrot.

Li Mo calmly took out the copper coin and placed it in front of the parrot. The parrot picked up the copper coin, tilted its head back and swallowed it.

"Please wait."

The parrot actually spread its wings and flew to the back room.

Li Mo remained calm and waited silently. After about a quarter of an incense stick of time, the parrot brought a confidential envelope.

"This is the relevant information you requested. Please keep it."

After Li Mo took the letter, he nodded, but did not stay there. Instead, he came to Jiang Feiyan's mansion. After getting Jiang Feiyan's permission, Li Mo came to her room, and they looked at the secret letter together.

"Tsk tsk, this is three hundred spirit stones."

Jiang Feiyan consumes spirit stones every day when she meditates. This is not a small amount of money accumulated over time. Nearly half of her income is consumed in her daily meditation.

"It's almost as much as my income for half a year. I saved up the spirit stones I needed for the Six Meridians Cloud Flying Sword for a long time. Yeah, it was the same for you, Senior Brother."

Li Mo opened the secret letter, which contained three pages.

First is the first page, which contains Xiangxiang’s identity.

"A black market spirit girl from the Piaomiao Nine Fox Clan's Silver Moon City. She resides in the black market at the foot of the Lingjiao Gate Mountain in Shang State. Currently, her known identities include a collateral descendant of the Nine Fox Clan's Silver Moon Fox Girl, a black market spirit girl, and the concubine of the head of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Lingjiao Gate in Shang State."

Li Mo and Jiang Feiyan looked at each other.

"This Xiangxiang, her identity is real."

Then came the second page, which stated Xiangxiang’s purpose for coming to Bai’an City.

"The black market has mastered transnational-level time-based fixed-orbit teleportation technology. It's only useful for cultivators below the Jindan stage. The higher the realm, the harder it is to determine the orbit, and the farther the distance, the harder it is to determine the orbit. People with special physiques and lower realms are more likely to teleport to each other. These people are called spirit boys and spirit girls in the black market, and are important members of the black market organization. Xiangxiang came to Bai'an City through the spirit boy with a nine-veined spirit body in Bai'an City, and they exchanged orbits with each other."

Jiang Feiyan couldn't help but sigh when she saw this.

"As expected of a top secret organization, the black market is indeed powerful enough to have mastered this technology. No wonder they sell all kinds of specialties from other countries."

However, Li Mo's gaze was directed at the words Nine Veins Spirit Body.

He remembered that when Zhao Huaxue's mother found her, she mentioned that her younger brother was the so-called nine-veined spirit body.

The reason why Zhao Huaxue came to Muzhou of Daqian Kingdom was to find her younger brother.

With so many coincidences, Li Mo didn't believe that this would be the second Nine-Veined Spiritual Body cultivator. The reason why he wanted to leave Bai'an City might be because the black market organization obtained intelligence and he wanted to avoid Zhao Huaxue who had already joined the Tianming Division.

Could it be that Zhao Huaxue's mother did not sell Zhao Huaxue's younger brother to the Daqian Kingdom?

Instead, he secretly joined a black market organization and became a so-called spiritual child?

"Senior Sister, what are the characteristics of the Nine Veins Spirit Body?"

"do not know."

Jiang Feiyan answered as a matter of course.

Then the two of them looked at the third page of information, which described the relationship between Xiangxiang and the Chen family.

The information on this page is very brief, just one sentence.

"The black market organization accidentally discovered that the descendants of the Chen family have special bloodline properties and have the potential to transform into black market spirit boys and spirit girls. Xiangxiang's spirit fox eyes can trace their origins."

"Uh?"

They were both stunned.

Logically speaking, there is no such thing as bloodline among humans.

Human beings have been divided into kings, princes, generals and ministers since ancient times. In ancient times, there was a mountain gate system, and now there is a family clan system, but there is no so-called bloodline attribute.

Even between monks and mortals, there is no difference in blood.

As for those so-called special physiques, they are merely the product of accidental mutations and will not be passed down.

What cultivators call spiritual roots are nothing more than the human race's sensitivity to spiritual energy exceeding a certain critical value. In ancient times, the so-called spiritual roots of cultivators were far from being as clear and definite as they are today.

In other words.

In fact, everyone has so-called spiritual roots.

It’s just that some people have better spiritual roots, while others have poorer spiritual roots.

This is due to the increasingly thin spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

It’s like a group of people entering a cave. As the cave becomes lower and lower, the taller people are bound to bump into each other.

"Special bloodline, what does that mean?"

Jiang Feiyan looked at Li Mo, wanting to get an answer.

Li Mo shook his head.

"I do not know either."

However, it is indeed too outrageous to use this as a clue to investigate the Chen family. Even if it is true, the military will not use this as a basis to attack the Chen family.

"It seems that these three hundred spirit stones were wasted."

Jiang Feiyan sighed, but Li Mo disagreed. "I actually think the spirit stones are worth every penny!"

"Alright alright."

Jiang Feiyan was about to wave goodbye and continue practicing, but suddenly she thought of something. She stopped and looked thoughtful.

"correct!"

Jiang Feiyan's eyes lit up.

"You can take the first page of intelligence and report it to the sect. Doesn't the intelligence say that this fox girl is an envoy of the Piaomiao Clan? It might even be related to national affairs. You spent spirit stones to purchase this intelligence for the safety of the sect and the country. There are risks involved. When you report it to the sect, you should also submit a copy to the court."

Li Mo was dumbfounded when he heard this.

"Can it still be done like this?"

Jiang Feiyan, however, looked indifferent.

"It's just routine operation. Don't worry. I've done it twice before. My master taught me. He said it's a benefit that our inspectors should have. If you don't claim reimbursement from both sides, it will make both sides suspicious. As inspectors, we have to treat everyone equally."

She laughed as she spoke, and at the end she even raised her eyebrows and put on a playful gesture.

Upon hearing this, Li Mo showed an expression of being taught a lesson and said goodbye to Sixth Senior Sister with a smile.

the next day.

Li Mo came to the Ministry of Destiny and entered Xiangxiang's room in the backyard.

Meng Xiangqiao was also there, and the two women looked at Li Mo.

"We've already verified your identity. There's no problem. Now we just need to confirm your purpose. Tell me, what is your purpose for coming here?"

Xiangxiang smiled.

Through this month's contact, she also gained a new understanding of the Daqian Kingdom. These so-called inspectors of the Ministry of Destiny are positions that other human countries do not have.

Precisely.

The so-called court of Daqian Kingdom is an institution that does not exist in other countries. After thinking about it, she felt that the task of exploring here was quite important, and it was worth giving up some secrets for this.

"I came here for three reasons."

Xiangxiang's face was calm.

"One was a mission from a black market organization, asking me to trace the origin of the Chen family's special bloodline. Unfortunately, I failed to complete this mission. I could only confirm that all of the Chen family's bloodline did not come from the so-called Chen Baihu."

"One is a mission from Silver Moon City. The elders asked me to investigate the relationship between the Lingmu Sect and the Nine Fox Clan."

"One is a mission from the Piaomiao Clan. A certain important figure asked me to see if we can have a deeper exchange with the Daqian Nation."

Li Mo nodded.

The last two tasks are reasonable.

But for the first mission, the black market organization wanted to investigate the Chen family, and Xiangxiang discovered that all the bloodlines of the Chen family were not from Captain Chen.

What does it mean?
Li Mo started to inquire about this, but Xiangxiang couldn't explain it. After all, she was just a fox girl in the Qi training stage. So Li Mo signaled Meng Xiangqiao to come with him.

The two entered Li Mo's office.

"This is information about Xiangxiang. Find two female inspectors and help her safely deliver Xiangxiang to the sect. I'll give you twenty days for this mission, which is enough time for you to rest at the sect. When the time comes, you'll report this information to the sect. When you return, take this information to the Tianming Division in Anle City to report again. The two bills will total six hundred spirit stones. Do you understand?"

When Meng Xiangqiao heard that this mission was to return to her master, she immediately showed an excited expression.

"Yes, Mr. Li!"

Meng Xiangqiao took the information handed over by Li Mo and was about to leave.

Li Mo hesitated for a moment and called her again.

"Wait a moment. Also, can you help me find out about someone? Among my disciples this year, there's a female disciple named Zhao Huaxue. She's quite famous. She should have joined the Special Service Hall and is working at the Tianming Division somewhere in Muzhou."

Meng Xiangqiao was stunned for a moment, then revealed a meaningful smile.

"Know it!"

After Meng Xiangqiao left, Li Mo called Zhu Wei.

Zhu Wei is 33 years old this year. He is an unappreciated disciple of Tianfu Sect. He has been a relatively marginal figure for more than ten years since he came to Bai'an County. It was not until four years ago that he finally made progress because of the storage bag of Jiujiang Leilong Taishou. He was considered to be a man of great accumulation.

Li Mo was already familiar with his life story.

Judging from his previous life resume, if it were not for the opportunity brought by Pingshanhui Jiujiang Leilong Taishou, he would most likely still be an insignificant character now, and it would be impossible for him to produce the so-called accumulation and development effect. In addition, when he was undercover in the Eighteen Mountains, he did not behave abnormally towards mortals in the end. Li Mo witnessed the whole process as a bystander, so he was very credible in Li Mo's mind. At least he was definitely not a member of a cult organization.

"General Li."

"Ah."

Li Mo took out the third page of information about the Chen family.

"This is the information about the Chen family that I bought at a high price. See if you can find anything else."

Zhu Wei looked down at the information, frowned as well, and finally shook his head.

"Okay, then go ahead and get busy. Improving your cultivation is more important."

"Yes."

After Zhu Wei left, the matter came to a temporary end.

Now that Li Mo has basically mastered Piaomiao language, he plans to use the morning time every day to carefully study "Cui Cui's Notes" and officially start studying puppetry.

"Li Mo!"

It was Lu Tianyou knocking on the door, and Li Mo hurriedly opened the office door.

"The mission is over?"

"Well, I just came back."

It is the summer flood season now, and there are constant thunderstorms. It is very tiring to go out on missions. Li Mo is very happy to see Lu Tianyou's cheerful temperament again.

Lu Tianyou chuckled and took out a map.

"I have a clue about what you asked me to find. There's a crow forest over in Qingshui Town. It's said there are many century-old giant trees there, and many of them are believed to have spiritual energy. Every summer, several of these trees are killed by lightning. So after the summer flood is over, you can try your luck there."

Li Mo's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"it is good!"

The matter of the fox girl came to an end for the time being, and he had found another clue about the spiritual lightning-struck wood, which naturally made him overjoyed. This meant that he could try to make a spiritual lightning-proof umbrella, and use it to overcome tribulations and gain enlightenment in the ethereal dream, while obtaining something similar to the recipe for the Creation Pill.

And this thing will most likely be related to his current research.
