The road is vague

Chapter 183 Comprehensive Preparation

Chapter 183 Comprehensive Preparation
Li Mo carefully examined the empty scabbard.

The scabbard is dark green in color, and the main shell is woven from bamboo and rattan. It looks ancient, and has a strong evil-repelling property inside.

"Could this be a magic weapon?"

Li Mo carefully observed this unknown treasure and tried to input mana into it, but it only expanded its dark green soul-defying field. It seemed that it had no other abilities.

But he had a vague feeling that he had found a treasure.

This treasure has been in that refining cauldron for who knows how many years it has been refined.

The reason why he is unable to activate this treasure now is probably because his magic power is far from enough to maintain it, and he cannot even activate the power of fur.

"It seems that I need to advance to the Golden Core Stage at least before I can try to use this treasure. It turns out to be a scabbard. I wonder what power it will have."

Li Mo was about to take it back to the Mountain and Sea Realm and put it into the space ring for safekeeping.

However, he also saw a soul-destroying area nearby that was affected by the dark green halo. It forcefully repelled both the ethereal and evil forces, as if it was incompatible with both.

He tried to summon some small items from the Misty World, and found that in this soulless area, these items had completely lost their activation characteristics, and even the true demon clone was constantly consuming its own characteristics.

"What a powerful evil-repelling property! This magic weapon is truly extraordinary!"

Li Mo seemed to be lost in thought.

Although he was unable to unleash the true power of this treasure, even its passive evil-repelling property was far beyond the reach of ordinary magical weapons.

After observing for a while, he tried to continue inputting magic power into this magic weapon.

However, no matter how much mana he input, he could only expand the Absolute Spiritual Realm in the ethereal dream. As nearly half of his mana was consumed, he completely gave up the idea of ​​exploring its specific power.

"It's also good to use it as a magic weapon to ward off evil spirits for the time being."

Thinking like this.

After Li Mo summoned the scabbard to the Mountain and Sea Realm, he put it into his storage ring.

After resting for a while in the mausoleum, he summoned the white jade flying chariot, rushed out of the Wild Wolf Valley, turned into a stream of light, and flew to the end of the sky.

Three months later.

Bai'an City entered deep autumn in October.

Li Mo rode the white jade flying car and came to his master's sect again, and delivered a stack of secret investigation materials about the Baiyue Organization in Bai'an County to the hands of Sima Fu, the head of the sect.

"Haha, thank you for your hard work, Junior Brother Li."

Sima Fu glanced at the information in his hand, put it on the desk, and turned to look at Li Mo.

"Your master explained before he went into seclusion that he was most worried about the three of you. To be honest, the reason why Chen Shouyi and I were promoted to acting head of our sect was largely because the head of the sect remembered that almost all of our disciples had died in Zhongshan. Chen Shouyi was slightly better off, having left behind a son who serves as the head of the criminal code in the Zhenfeng Pavilion. However, all of my disciples..."

Li Mo couldn't help but think of his fourth and fifth senior brothers, whom he had never met, who also died in the battlefield.

Next.

Li Mo came to the Alchemy Hall. He wanted to use his accumulated contributions to the sect to exchange for the elixirs needed for alchemy.

So he walked all the way to the main hall.

"Disciple Li Mo, I pay my respects to Master Chen."

"You came."

Li Mo passed the test with the thunder refining method, so Chen Huiling was quite impressed by Li Mo.

"What elixir are you going to exchange for? Have you prepared enough contributions to the sect?"

"I would like to exchange three thousand-year-old spiritual herbs and twenty-six hundred-year-old spiritual herbs. Here is my badge and the required items."

Chen Huiling took the badge handed to her by Li Mo and was immediately surprised.

"In just a few short years, you've already accumulated so much contribution to the sect, and even received a great merit award, which entitles you to a 10% discount."

Li Mo smiled slightly.

After a while.

Under the guidance of Chen Huiling, Li Mo came to the spiritual field area of ​​the Alchemy Hall. It was covered by layers of large formations all year round. On one hand, it was to provide all-round protection as much as possible, and on the other hand, it was to gather more spiritual energy from heaven and earth to allow the spiritual medicines here to thrive and cultivate their medicinal properties.

In private spiritual fields, there are a wide variety of spiritual medicines.

But in public spiritual fields, various spiritual medicines are planted in batches and in a unified manner.

The deeper you go into the core area, the older the spiritual medicines in the spiritual fields become. The 1,100-year-old Sanyang grass in front of you was planted five or six hundred years ago.

The seedlings of Sanyang grass are worthless.

However, after hundreds of years of nourishment from the spiritual energy of Qingming Mountain and careful cultivation by generations of cultivators, each of these thousand-year-old Sanyang grasses is priceless, worth at least three thousand spirit stones.

Chen Huiling continued to instruct her disciples to complete the transaction according to the catalog submitted by Li Mo.

So after spending a lot of his master's contributions, Li Mo exchanged three thousand-year-old spiritual medicines and twenty-six hundred-year-old spiritual medicines that were grown in large quantities by his master, and then returned to Bai'an County to get busy again.

Another three months passed.

Li Mo returned to his master's sect again and participated in the annual Lingmu Sect Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator Trade Fair, where he unexpectedly obtained five Foundation Establishment Stage Piaomiao Demon Pills.

In this way, he has accumulated fourteen foundation-building stage Piaomiao demon pills, waiting to be refined into pills.

This is not over yet.

The next night, he went to the market at the foot of the mountain to attend the auction there.

Unlike the black market auction in Anle City, which is held before the Flower Festival, the auction in the market town at the foot of Qingming Mountain is held on January 1st, and is mostly aimed at inner disciples on Qingming Mountain, or Jindan cultivators who reside on Qingming Mountain.

Li Mo went straight to the mailing place, which was already crowded.

Fortunately, most of the people who came here temporarily to take photos were disciples in the Qi training stage, so Li Mo quickly squeezed in.

"Hello, can I still send photos now?"

The person in charge of receiving Li Mo was a middle-aged female cultivator.

"I don't know what auction item you'd like to consign. Generally, we no longer accept consignment for auction items because they're approaching the auction."

"Wu Jin." The female cultivator in front of him was stunned when she heard this.

After a while.

Li Mo came to the side room on the second floor. The three appraisers were amazed at the fist-sized black gold on the stone table and measured its purity and quantity in various ways.

"It is undoubtedly black gold, and its purity is quite high."

"As far as I know, black gold can only be obtained in submerged lands, but such a large piece of black gold can probably only be collected in the southern part of the lake. Could this piece of black gold have come from the Yu Kingdom?"

Li Mo smiled but said nothing, showing no intention of responding.

The appraiser holding the magic mirror couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he saw this.

"Haha, I lost my composure. This amount of black gold is enough to support the refining of a large gravity-type mountain magic weapon. Its value is inestimable, and it is worthy of being the finale treasure of this auction."

"Yes, this kind of gravity magic weapon is incredibly powerful when used against warships, wild beasts, fortresses, and cities. During the war years ago, its value was indeed quite astonishing, but with the truce with the State of Lu..."

Li Mo successfully completed the shoot.

The reason why he chose to send one of the black gold pieces for auction was, on the one hand, because the materials for these two magic weapons were not needed for the time being, and on the other hand, he urgently needed spirit stones to purchase other elixirs and was preparing to refine another set of six disasters and six tribulations matrix puppets.

Instead of leaving these two pieces of magic weapon materials unused, it is better to use them first.

During the subsequent auction, Li Mo raised his paddle to bid several times and gained something.

The auction gradually came to an end amidst fierce bidding.

On the high platform.

Several monks gathered their spiritual light and presented an inconspicuous wooden box.

Such a loud noise naturally attracted a lot of people's attention. The auctioneer walked forward and carefully opened the wooden box.

"The next auction item is black gold, which is equivalent to approximately 37,000 shi..."

The magic weapon-grade materials have ever-changing properties, different qualities, and completely different pricing methods. As the auctioneer narrated the items, the Qi-cultivating monks and foundation-building monks in the audience exclaimed in amazement.

"The bidding begins."

"Haha, there's actually so much black gold! It's enough to refine two gravity magic weapons. I'm just planning to refine a pagoda, 21,000 spirit stones!"

"I'll give you 22,000 spirit stones!"

"You actually took out so much black gold in one go! I wonder which fellow Daoist has such courage. I will offer 24,000 spirit stones..."

In order to bid for a piece of magic weapon material, several Jindan stage cultivators asked for 20,000 spirit stones, which really amazed many Qi training and foundation building cultivators.

Unfortunately, there are not many Jindan stage cultivators coming here.

After several rounds of bidding, it was bought by a female cultivator in the box on the third floor at a high price of 26,000 spirit stones, which barely met the appraiser's value assessment and Li Mo's psychological expectations.

Half an hour later.

After deducting several hundred spirit stones as transaction fees, the auction house paid Li Mo more than 25,000 spirit stones in one lump sum.

After Li Mo collected the large pile of spirit stones in front of him, he nodded to the middle-aged cultivator in charge of the transaction and then left the auction house.

He couldn't help but feel curious about the scabbard.

You have to know that these two pieces of black gold seem to be just scraps, thrown casually on the edge of the altar. The real protagonist is the mysterious scabbard in the refining furnace.

"I wonder what secrets are hidden in that secret realm. What did Jiujiang Leilong Taishou discover in the underground palace mausoleum?"

Next.

Li Mo went to Anle City and commissioned the black market to find the Millennium Blazing Flower and paid the corresponding reward.

This is the main ingredient for refining the Liuhuo Ningling Pill.

"These fourteen Creation Pills, ten Gathering Spirit Pills, ten Ziwu Condensing Spirit Pills, ten Blood Spirit Pills, ten Zhoutian Spirit Pills, ten Flowing Fire Condensing Spirit Pills, and ten Heavenly Spirit Pills, plus the Piaomiao Spirit Eye Formation, will advance me to the peak of the early foundation building stage in one go. Then, I will use the Condensing Heart Pill to try to break through the bottleneck!"

Since Li Mo never encountered the so-called stagnation of mana, he accumulated more and more pills, which were enough for him to increase his mana to the peak of the initial stage of foundation building in one go.

In addition, the Spirit Gathering Pill is distributed by Sima Fu every year. Although it has not been collected yet, it is only a matter of time.

Ziwu Ningling Pill, Xueling Pill, and Zhoutian Lingdan were carefully refined by Li Mo over three months after he cracked the pill formula using the Five Thunders Transforming Dust.

The Tianling Pill was bestowed by the Daqian court.

As for the Ningxin Pill, it was the recipe that Li Mo exchanged from Cao Lingjie, a disciple of Lingcao Sect, during the Zhongshan Kingdom exchange meeting. It can reduce the bottleneck in the middle stage of foundation building.

"Let's make the final preparations. After the Flower Festival, I'll start practicing in Bai'an City!"

Just when Li Mo was about to devote himself to his future spiritual practice.

Outside Bai'an City, Ma Xuanji walked out slowly and came to a man in black who seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.

"You're too slow. Seeing how cowardly you are now, our master spared no expense in cultivating you to build your foundation, just to make you unworthy of your position?"

The man in black looked at Ma Xuanji impatiently.

"Please forgive me, uncle."

Ma Xuanji took a deep breath and looked solemn.

Say it.

Ma Xuanji submitted the intelligence he had discovered.

"In the past six months, there has been no unusual movement in the Lingmu Sect, and no news about Qingling Zhenren has been heard."

For a Nascent Soul cultivator, it is not uncommon to seclude himself for hundreds of years.

The man in black sneered.

"Remember, you are here for only one purpose, and that is to find out all the information about Qingling Zhenren. You don't need to be distracted by other things. Just focus on your duties as deputy general flag and don't let anyone catch you."

"Yes."

The man in black waved his hand and Ma Xuanji left.
