The road is vague

Chapter 184 Middle Stage of Foundation Building
After the Flower Festival.

Li Mo successfully obtained the required Millennium Blazing Flower through the black market channels.

"Next, we can refine the Flowing Fire Condensing Spirit Pill."

After he returned to Bai'an City, he lived a secluded life and seemed to have completely integrated into this city, leading an ordinary life from sunrise to sunset. He was completely rooted here, absorbing the spiritual outlook of the worldly life here and integrating it into his own state of mind.

Due to the all-round large-scale development in Bai'an County, people's lives have become more affluent, public security in various places has become better, and major cases requiring the dispatch of Foundation Establishment cultivators have rarely occurred.

As a result, people gradually got used to a peaceful life where no one picked up things on the road and doors were left unlocked at night.

……

The chapter on magical instruments in Lingzhao Sword Manual contains more than a hundred methods of sword-making.

The weapon-refining techniques of ancient cultivators and those of today's cultivators have both similarities and differences.

The various magical instruments used by today's monks are often refined by imitating the magical instruments of high-level monks, and there are rarely any unique innovations.

Therefore, almost all magical weapons can be imitated from the magic weapons of high-level monks.

The magical instruments of the ancient monks seemed to be carefully designed and individually cast.

Even the magical instruments of low-level cultivators require the so-called right time, right place, and right people, as well as the mysterious chance, destiny, and unity of man and nature.

Therefore, although they are both magical weapons, the magical weapons of ancient monks are much more powerful than those of today's monks.

As for the level of the magic weapon, Li Mo is not able to comment.

“But it can’t be said to be absolute.”

Li Mo took out the "Six Meridians Cloud Sword" given to him by Jiang Feiyan.

The reason why Jiang Feiyan gave him this martial arts book was not to let him practice it, but because the cultivator who practiced this martial arts must forge the sword according to the method in the manual.

Unfortunately, although Jiang Feiyan is a sword fanatic, she has achieved nothing except being proficient in swordsmanship.

This doesn't look like a disciple of Lingmu Sect at all.

After carefully studying the sword-making method in "Six Meridians Cloud Sky Sword", Li Mo immediately put away his contempt for modern cultivators.

Especially when he saw the six flying swords, each of which had its own independent name and different division of labor. They had to be cast as a set. Each flying sword had to correspond to the six meridians to achieve the unity of man and sword. Suddenly, he had an epiphany.

Compared with ancient monks who focused on nature, modern monks pay more attention to themselves.

As for the advantages and disadvantages of the unity of man and nature, and the unity of man and sword, it is not something that Li Mo, a mere cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, can comment on.

At the same time, Li Mo also commented on the "Six Meridians Cloud Sword" technique.

no doubt.

"Six Meridians Cloud Sky Sword" is a very good sword technique, focusing on the sharp sword light and invincibility, but it is not suitable for Li Mo. What he needs is rationality and precision. "Sword Heart Sutra" is quite suitable, but it is not the main technique. It can only be regarded as a secret technique that was improved by Lingmu Sect after taking its essence.

After some random thoughts.

Li Mo put down the "Six Meridians Cloud Sword" in his hand and looked at the large amount of refining materials in front of him.

Among these refining materials, some were his own and some were Jiang Feiyan's, but the items contained in the two jade boxes were the same, two pieces of hardened light golden metal, containing a large amount of unknown material residues.

If these materials are used to cast magic weapons, even if their performance is excellent, they cannot be brought into play because we don’t know what properties the materials have been fused with.

But it is more than enough for refining magical weapons.

"Let's refine our own flying sword first."

Between refining the Tiancheng Huajin Sword and the Liumai Lingjian, Li Mo finally chose to refine his own Tiancheng Huajin Sword first.

The so-called Tiancheng Huajin Sword is the sword-making method he chose from the "Lingzhao Sword Manual". It requires the so-called right time, right place, and right people, and it takes a relatively long time to wait for the opportunity.

Refining Jiang Feiyan's complete set of flying swords was obviously much more difficult, so he needed to be as cautious as possible during his future training...

Spring passes and autumn comes.

Before I knew it, another three years had passed.

This is Li Mo's seventh year working in the Tianming Division of Bai'an County, and his concept of time is becoming increasingly vague.

this day.

The dense spiritual energy in the dormitory was rapidly converging towards the figure in the center, forming a fleeting spiritual pressure.

"kindness……"

The figure trembled slightly and couldn't help but let out a soft moan of pleasure.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth nearby fluctuated slightly, and after half a minute, it gradually calmed down.

"It's the middle stage of foundation building."

Li Mo slowly opened his eyes, feeling the changes in himself, and muttered to himself excitedly.

The first is the improvement in lifespan.

Although Li Mo could not describe the specific degree of improvement, he could confirm that his lifespan had indeed been slightly improved. Maybe it was three to five years, or maybe it was twenty to thirty years. He was too young to make a specific judgment.

The second is the improvement of spiritual consciousness and magic power.

Now, with the blessing of the Seven Apertures Return to Origin Technique, Li Mo's spiritual power is even half a point stronger than some cultivators in the late stage of foundation building. His magic power is due to the effect of the Creation Pill in strengthening the dantian meridians. At this moment, he seems to have been promoted to the middle stage of foundation building for many years, and his magic power has increased by at least 50% to 60% compared to the early stage of foundation building.

The last one is the enlightenment of the primordial spirit and soul.

Lu Qi once said that when a cultivator in the foundation-building stage forms a pill, it is the sublimation of the three souls and seven spirits, which will involve the comprehension of the worldly world, and has a hint of the difference between immortals and mortals, and the sublimation of the state of mind.

If you are not well prepared, you will encounter inner demons.

"Having a clear mind and a clear conscience is not about distinguishing between good and evil, but about being one with your body, mind and thoughts. As long as you stay true to yourself and remain consistent, that's all that matters."

After muttering to himself, Li Mo slowly stood up from the mat.

All of a sudden.

The more abundant magical power and spiritual consciousness brought by the mid-stage of foundation building cultivation made him full of confidence. In his every move, he exuded a sense of grandeur.

"I'm already in the middle stage of foundation building. Today happens to be the Dragon Boat Festival. It's time to unleash my sword."

For the past three years, besides going to work at the Ministry of Destiny every day, he has been practicing sword-making in his mansion. As the saying goes, slow work makes fine work.

In three years, he successively refined the Tiancheng Huajin Sword and the Liumai Yunxiao Sword.

The Tiancheng Huajin Sword requires the right time, place and people, and is still waiting for preparation. The Liumai Yunxiao Sword has been delivered to Jiang Feiyan after it was cast. This senior sister is quite satisfied and has been calling him "good junior brother" for a long time.

Thinking this in his mind, Li Mo calculated the time in his mind, and followed the joyful and lively crowd of the Dragon Boat Festival to Noon Street and walked towards the Bell and Drum Tower.

Li Mo, dressed in casual clothes, was walking among the crowd on Zhengyang Street.

There was an endless stream of hawking sounds on both sides of the street.

In addition to the large public flying boats that fly once a day, there are occasional spiritual bird rental missions, casting shadows, and the people in the city have long been accustomed to this.

People on the streets have happy smiles on their faces as they celebrate the arrival of the Dragon Boat Festival, drink rice wine, post door gods, and wear sachets.

Today's Bai'an City already has some of the shadows of a big city, but life here is more comfortable than in other county towns.

noon.

Li Mo came to the bell and drum tower, and the soldiers saluted him one after another.

"Master General."

"Lord General Banner..."

He signaled to everyone that there was no need for formalities and looked at the sword that had withstood three years of wind, sun, frost, rain and snow.

This Tiancheng Huajin sword, like Li Mo, seems to be deeply rooted in this city, absorbing the spiritual outlook of the people of this city, and its inner state of mind has made great progress.

Compared to three years ago, its brilliance is obviously more restrained and has a dark golden color.

"The timing is right. After three years of wind and frost, during the Dragon Boat Festival, at noon, you will be promoted and released."

"The location is favorable. In Bai'an City, evil spirits have retreated. The beautiful mountains and rivers are blessed with outstanding people."

"When people unite, they will have enough food and clothing, live and work in peace and contentment, prosper and prosper, and the country will be at peace and the people will be at peace."

Li Mo looked at the sword and shouted.

"Open the light, and raise the sword!"

The Tiancheng Huajin Sword sensed something and suddenly soared into the sky. After circling lightly in the air, it fell into Li Mo's hands.

Li Mo stretched out his right hand, and with his index and middle fingers, he gathered his aura and drew it across the sword. At this moment, both sides seemed to have reached some kind of recognition, and their spiritual powers intertwined with each other.

One man, one sword, it was like two good friends who hadn't seen each other for many years but were in tune with each other, whispering softly.

Li Mo couldn't help but smile.

"What a sword!"

He laughed heartily, jumped up, and flew away on his sword, causing the infantrymen on the bell and drum tower to exclaim in surprise.

Li Mo soon arrived at the Tianming Division. When the inspectors saw Li Mo, they all greeted him with smiles.

"General Li."

"General Li...

Li Mo nodded and came to the office. A moment later, Zhao Xiaonan knocked on the door and came in, handing Li Mo a wedding invitation.

"This is?"

He had some vague guesses in his mind.

Zhao Xiaonan looked shy.

"In twenty days, on May 26th, Wang Pan and I will be married in Hua'an Town. I would like to invite His Excellency the General to be the witness and preside over our wedding ceremony."

"Good, good, good!"

Li Mo stood up excitedly and laughed from the bottom of his heart.

"Ask Wang Pan to come to my house tonight and we'll have a drink."

Twenty days passed in a flash.

Li Mo returned to Hua'an Town and personally presided over the wedding for the two.

Wang Pan's father and mother were grinning from ear to ear, and Wang Pan's younger brother and sister were also very happy. All the senior brothers from Jimin Hall who could come came.

"Junior Brother Li Mo, you are still so young."

Li Mo drank and chatted with everyone, and they were in great joy.

He was so happy that even though he was seven parts drunk, he vaguely heard what Senior Brother Ding Jie said and couldn't help but look at this former Senior Brother from Jimin Hall.

Gray hair, cloudy eyes and hearing loss, loose skin and wrinkles are manifestations of the loss of essence.

"Since Senior Brother Ding Jie became the attending physician, he's noticeably grown a lot of gray hair. Senior Brother Zuo Shu is no longer the handsome and playboy he once was. Senior Brother Wang Ben suddenly died of a serious illness..."

Li Mo, who was drunk and in a daze, suddenly felt that the surroundings seemed to have suddenly become quiet.

The people at the table moved slower and slower.

He turned his head and looked at the willows outside the window.

In his memory, the outside should have been lush and green, but now it has turned into dead branches and rotten wood, with only a few willow branches swaying in the wind.

"Grandpa, I want candy."

Then he saw his grandson next to his senior brother, pestering him for candy.

Ding Jie laughed heartily.

The silver hair on his head and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes represent both his vicissitudes of life and his life experience.

When Li Mo turned his head again, in his drunken state, he saw that the dead tree outside the window had faintly sprouted new growth, and a few spring birds landed on it, chasing each other and flying by to mate.

For a moment, he seemed to understand something.
