The road is vague

Chapter 172 Peaceful years
The two of them temporarily left Bai'an County and were given a long vacation, returning to Lingmumen to rest and wait.

On the flying boat heading to Lingmu Gate.

Li Mo stretched and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Senior Sister, there are two things I haven't had time to tell you these days. Now I can finally tell you."

"Miaomiao, come back quickly and don't run around!"

Jiang Feiyan inherited Duan Shu's spiritual crane. From now on, she only needs to pay enough contribution to the Lingmu Sect every month. When the spiritual crane flew back to Jiang Feiyan, she looked at Li Mo.

"Why are you still hesitating? Just tell me what you want to say. Senior Sister will definitely stand on your side."

Hearing Jiang Feiyan say this, Li Mo smiled slightly.

"While you were unconscious, I took something from your storage bag, the jade box that served as evidence."

"what?"

Jiang Feiyan was stunned for a moment.

"I was wondering why it disappeared. I thought the other parts disappeared along with the devil's death. What are you doing with it?"

Li Mo stretched out his right hand and summoned out the true demon clone.

The gray-white eyes of the true demon clone looked at Jiang Feiyan.

"Sister."

"you!"

Jiang Feiyan was startled at first, then she reacted.

"You refined it into an incarnation?"

"Yes."

It took a while for Jiang Feiyan to accept all this. Although she had not practiced the "Seven Apertures Return to Origin Technique", she had some understanding of this technique, and she knew that Lu Qi's external incarnation was a elixir, which was also extremely magical.

"Haha, congratulations. What's the second thing?"

"After the devil died, he left behind a space ring, which contained..."

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

Jiang Feiyan reached out and stopped Li Mo.

"You don't have to say it. I don't want to hear it, and I don't want to know."

Jiang Feiyan showed a happy smile.

"I am already very satisfied that I was able to survive this catastrophe and receive the reward. You killed that demon, so the profits should belong to you. I will never be so shameless as to covet your profits. Don't underestimate me."

Upon hearing this, Li Mo was filled with admiration.

But then Jiang Feiyan's eyes rolled and she changed the subject.

"However, if you really can't bear it, please help me reforge six top-grade flying swords. I'll prepare the materials. The top-grade material I obtained from the Hidden Dragon Organization last time can be used. Add to that the spirit stones I've saved over the years, and it should be enough..."

"no problem!"

Although Li Mo did not yet have the skills to refine top-grade magic weapons, he readily agreed.

……

Qingming Mountain is still peaceful and quiet, and the years are quiet and good.

The sunset will come in two days. Only in the master's sect can Li Mo feel at ease and no longer have to worry about being inexplicably harmed by the sky.

"Greetings, Uncle Master!"

The Taoist boy guarding the Feizhou Post Station saluted Jiang Feiyan and Li Mo. At this moment, both of them had changed into the Lingmu Sect's crane cloak Taoist robes.

"I'm so tired. I'm going to rest."

Jiang Feiyan's mental state was still sluggish. She yawned and it seemed that it would take at least two or three months for her to recover.

"What about you?"

Li Mo thought of Lu Cuicui. They hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"I'm going to go find Lu Cuicui. I haven't seen her for a long time and I miss her very much."

"Humph, I was originally going to introduce you to some of my fellow disciples. If that's the case, then you can just enjoy your own world."

As Jiang Feiyan walked away, Li Mo smiled slightly and took out a sound transmission talisman. As long as Lu Cuicui did not leave the sect, the sound transmission talisman could find her based on the characteristics of her spiritual power.

After a while.

Lu Cuicui trotted all the way to Li Mo.

"Li Mo!"

"Cui Cui."

The two of them approached each other and were about to hug each other intimately, but they noticed a disciple from the Law Enforcement Hall walking towards them from a distance. They immediately suppressed their impulse, coughed lightly, and stood together politely.

Li Mo looked at the excitement, happiness and longing in Lu Cuicui's eyes, and a long-lost feeling of happiness emerged in his heart. He had also had this feeling when his mother was alive.

Lu Cuicui looked up at Li Mo.

It seems that as long as she is with Li Mo, she will be happiest.

"I got your letter."

She seemed a little aggrieved and expressed her lovesickness.

"After leaving you that day, I returned all the way to Qingming Mountain and submitted a formal application for separation to the master's sect, which was approved. Some time later, my mother returned to the master's sect and flew into a rage, accusing me of being unfilial..."

Li Mo wiped her tears.

"When I come back this time, I will relieve your worries. I have already found out the details of the old monster Tianhuo."

Upon hearing this, Lu Cuicui grabbed Li Mo's hands.

"Will your master agree?"

Li Mo smiled confidently.

"Old Monster Tianhuo is only an early Jindan cultivator. Your mother's hope of revenge on him is futile. As for my master, he is a late Jindan cultivator. A few days ago in Bai'an City, my senior sister and I begged him, and he agreed. After the matter in Bai'an County is settled, he will take me to seek justice and give Old Monster Tianhuo a warning..."

"This uncle-master."

Two disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall of Lu State came forward with their heads held high.

"According to the sect's rules, we need to be mindful of our words and actions in the sect's public areas. Uncle Master, please don't embarrass us."

Upon hearing this, Lu Cuicui quickly let go of Li Mo's hands.

Li Mo smiled slightly and returned the greeting to the two of them.

"I'm sorry to trouble you two. I've been away from home for years and haven't had time to build a cave. I've violated the sect's rules. Here's my badge."

After seeing Li Mo's Special Service Hall badge, these two people were quite smart.

"So it's Uncle Li. Uncle Li has been away from home all year round and has made great contributions. We younger generations should naturally be considerate and just give him a reminder."

Say it.

The disciple returned Li Mo's badge.

Li Mo smiled slightly and put away the badge.

"In that case, I will find an abandoned cave and clean it up carefully. Thank you very much." After the two disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall bowed and left, Li Mo took Lu Cuicui away from the main peak of Qingming Mountain and came to the back mountain to look for a suitable cave.

The so-called back mountains refer to the dozens of large and small peaks surrounding Qingming Mountain.

Lingmumen has been established for more than a thousand years.

Over the past thousand years, countless foundation-building cultivators have emerged from Lingmu Sect.

After establishing their foundation, many cultivators would go to the back of the mountain and painstakingly open up caves on their own. Over time, there were countless abandoned caves of all sizes in the mountains behind Lingmu Gate.

The Lingmu Sect is now in decline.

The number of Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect is almost at the lowest level in history. Naturally, there are a large number of abandoned caves on the back mountain that can be occupied at will.

"By the way, Old Monster Tianhuo is the leader of a sect outside the Great Wall after all. What if he disagrees?"

"The master didn't say."

Seeing that there was no one around, Li Mo's big hands suddenly became a little dishonest.

Lu Cuicui suppressed her shyness, her face flushed and she gasped unbearably.

She knew very well that Li Mo was going to indulge in pleasure with her again, which made her feel excited, nervous, and a little scared.

She kept looking around, afraid that others would see her shame.

"No."

Lu Cuicui could no longer bear the shame in her heart. In broad daylight, she felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

But she did not refuse Li Mo, and her face was extremely shy.

"Let's find a suitable temporary cave first."

Seeing this, Li Mo couldn't help laughing.

He withdrew his hands. Although he was still craving the softness and grace just now, he finally restrained his rude behavior and returned to his gentleness and composure.

Seeing this, Lu Cuicui breathed a sigh of relief.

A happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she continued to follow Li Mo, looking for a suitable abandoned cave.

The two of them wandered around Shangqing Peak for a while and soon found an abandoned cave that they found satisfactory.

"This is it."

Lu Cuicui glanced at the abandoned cave, nodded shyly, and said nothing more.

Li Mo set up a temporary flag formation here.

Next.

The two of them simply packed up their temporary cave, and soon embraced each other, kissed passionately, and whispered their love to each other.

……

the next day.

Li Mo visited Chen Rong.

A few days ago, Chen Rong successively refined three furnaces of foundation-building pills at the public alchemy conference of her master's sect, with a total of 71 successful pills. She became famous in the sect and received praise.

"Congratulations, Senior Sister Chen."

"Happy together, rejoice together."

The two had a great conversation.

Later, Li Mo learned from Chen Rong that Nie Zhen had successfully established his foundation, so he said goodbye to Chen Rong, visited Nie Zhen, and congratulated his old friend.

"Junior Brother Nie, congratulations!"

"Haha, Senior Brother Li, how are you?"

After being promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage, although Nie Zhen was at the same level as Li Mo, due to the order of advancement, he had become Li Mo's junior apprentice.

At the beginning, Nie Zhen frequently made things convenient for him, making that alchemy room almost his private alchemy room, so their relationship was quite good.

The two came to the rockery pavilion in the Alchemy Hall to drink tea and chat.

"By the way, where's Tao Ran?"

"You don't know yet?"

Nie Zhen smiled slightly, sipped his tea and shook his head.

"Isn't he in love with a female disciple from your class? I think her name was Zhao Huaxue. She was quite famous back then. I heard they seem to have achieved a happy ending. If nothing unexpected happens, they'll become a couple next year. They'll be the envy of everyone else."

"this?"

Li Mo was stunned for a moment.

Then I thought of what happened last year.

When Tao Ran got the information about Zhao Huaxue's brother, he was so grateful and restless that he almost knelt down in front of him. Suddenly, he realized what was going on.

"This guy, no wonder he was like that in the beginning."

Li Mo was speechless for a while, and felt a little annoyed.

"He really got lucky!"

It wasn't because of Zhao Huaxue, but because he sent out such important information so casually.

But then he couldn't help but think that Tao Ran was indeed a good person. The two of them became friends because of the Alchemy Hall assessment, and he won a Red Jingzhi from him. Tao Ran's actions were also aboveboard, and the anger in his heart dissipated a lot.

"That's all."

He stopped daydreaming.

After bidding farewell to Nie Zhen, Li Mo came to the Dharma Protector Hall again and visited Senior Brother Wei Cang. He learned that this senior brother had finally broken through the middle stage of foundation building and advanced to the late stage of foundation building.

"This is all thanks to the master."

Wei Cang showed his respect and gratitude.

"If Master hadn't taken the trouble to collect the elixir formula and herbs for me, and personally refined the elixir for me to help me break through the bottleneck, I don't know how much longer I would have had to wait."

Li Mo felt the same way when Wei Cang expressed his gratitude.

Lu Qi had indeed helped the three of them so much, and he was no longer able to repay him.

"Brother, I have something I want to trouble you with."

"Junior brother, please speak."

Li Mo smiled and said, "I have a good friend named Lu Cuicui. She works at the Dharma Protector Hall, but her family situation is quite special. Her mother always forces her to do things against her will. So, while I'm away, could you protect her for me?"

"Lü Cuicui."

Seeing Wei Cang revealing a meaningful smile.

"Are you sure we're just friends?"

Li Mo looked helpless.

"Junior brother, Junior brother, Junior sister Jiang came here last night and told me everything about you. You were planning to lie to me. Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter."

Upon hearing this, Li Mo thanked him immediately.
