The road is vague

Chapter 209 Six-Man Team
the next day.

Li Mo went to the alchemy hall and used the sect contributions he had accumulated over the years to exchange for the auxiliary spiritual herbs needed to refine the Creation Pill.

He had previously gone to the Southern Barbarian Lands to carry out a mission and gained a lot of sect contribution points. Combined with his accumulation over the past few years, he had more than enough to exchange for some century-old spiritual herbs. As for those ethereal demon cores for the Qi Refining stage, he carefully preserved them for future use.

He then returned to his private cave dwelling and began to calmly refine elixirs.

three days later.

Three Foundation Establishment-level Creation Pills were produced, and Li Mo breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He immediately picked up one, tilted his head back, and swallowed it.

As the second heart inside his body throbbed, the mysterious medicinal properties, accompanied by pure spiritual energy, began to flow to his limbs and meridians, and Li Mo returned to that feeling of gradually growing stronger.

So he sat cross-legged on the ground, took a deep breath, and calmly began to refine the medicinal properties.

Time flies, and it's already the end of January.

After refining two Creation Pills, Li Mo felt light and healthy. This was because the Creation Pills' medicinal properties in strengthening the dantian meridians had reached their limit, and refining more Foundation Establishment stage Creation Pills would be useless.

"I feel that my dantian meridians are full of resilience, just like a balloon!"

In the past, if his dantian meridians were subjected to too much pressure, he would suffer unspeakable pain.

But at this moment, he felt that his dantian meridians had great resilience and could continuously expand and contract, which could effectively resist the backlash of the weight.

"There is one Foundation Establishment Stage Creation Pill left. It may be useful if we need to refine pills with pills in the future."

After putting away the Foundation Establishment Stage Creation Pill, he pondered for a moment and then headed to Thousand Bamboo Peak in the back mountain.

He had once arranged to discuss and exchange ideas on formations with this Golden Core cultivator, who was skilled in breaking formations, and he was quite interested in it as well.

The bamboo forests of Qianzhu Peak are dense and stretch out in large patches.

Li Mo climbed up the mountain path, listening to the breeze rustling through the bamboo forest, and felt a sense of peace and joy.

When he arrived at the mountaintop, a light array appeared in front of him. Li Mo casually produced a sound transmission talisman and began to study the array in front of him.

"This formation actually conceals the number of its bases, which seem to be based on the bamboo forest. It seems that someone skilled at breaking formations must also be skilled at protecting them, rather than someone who is just a master of formations creating formations."

Just as Li Mo was lost in thought...

The master of the Thousand Machines Daoist actually appeared in person to greet him. This short Golden Core Daoist was quite amiable, which immediately made Li Mo feel apprehensive.

"Hehe, with Instructor Li's personal presence, my Thousand Bamboo Peak shines even brighter. Please."

"Thank you for your kind offer, senior. Please."

The two walked and talked, laughing all the way, until they entered a cave deep in the bamboo forest and had a long talk.

It wasn't until three days and three nights later.

Li Mo bid farewell to his master with a smile, a hint of lingering reluctance in his expression, and agreed to exchange ideas on formations again in the future.

The master smiled and agreed.

Only after Li Mo walked away and disappeared into the bamboo forest did the Prime Minister's smile gradually fade, and a solemn look appeared in his eyes.

"At the tender age of thirty, he already possesses such profound knowledge and skills. If he were to encounter a moment of great opportunity in the future, wouldn't he soar to great heights?"

The short Taoist priest stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky in deep thought.

"It seems that Wang Xiyue's statement that the future of Lingmu Sect rests on his shoulders is indeed true. This young man's talent is unprecedented. In the past three days, he has been at Thousand Bamboo Peak of Lingmu Sect, and his presence has created a feng shui pattern that resembles a spirit pearl being nurtured in a deep pool. It is truly wonderful. It seems that we really need to reconsider our efforts to win over the Justice Society."

the other side.

Li Mo learned many methods of breaking formations from his master.

Recalling his previous experience at the Chen family in Bai'an City, he immediately decided to forge a magic weapon to break through the formation.

However, several days passed, and as February approached and the end of the month was just around the corner, with the annual leave about to begin, he still hadn't been able to finish the design.

This is because his mastery of formations is profound, his personal vision is high, and his demands are too exaggerated, which is why he has never been able to achieve his goal.

this day.

Li Mo suddenly sensed something, frowned, and waved his hand, producing a sound transmission talisman in his hand.

“Instructor Li, I accidentally discovered a dangerous hidden place, but because the guardian was too strong, my two friends and I were defeated. Now I plan to invite one of my sect’s capable assistants to form a Six Yang Evil-Repelling Barrier to deal with it. That’s when I thought of you. This hidden place is about four days’ journey from Qingming Mountain. I wonder if you have the time?”

"Wang Ping?"

Li Mo seemed to be lost in thought.

There are only a dozen days left until the evening moon, so time is a little tight.

However, this travel time is obviously calculated based on taking the flying boat and then flying on the vehicle. If one were to take his white jade flying chariot, the travel time should be shortened even further.

Furthermore, there's still no clue about the magic weapon to break the formation. The Spirit Eye Sect is in the calm before the storm, and this may be his last chance to prepare.

"it is good!"

Li Mo responded with a communication talisman, agreeing to the request.

An hour later.

He arrived at the Sacred Tree Square as agreed.

Various spirit birds flew about on the Pure Spirit Tree, creating a lively scene. Many disciples from the Advanced Study Hall also gathered here to socialize.

"Li Mo?"

Two cultivators approached, one male and one female.

Upon seeing Li Mo, the female cultivator was taken aback. It turned out that he was Chen Rong from the Alchemy Hall. She then realized who he was.

"Could it be that you were also invited to set up the Six Yang Evil-Repelling Barrier?"

"Senior Sister Chen!"

Li Mo's eyes lit up.

"Exactly!"

He was pleasantly surprised to see that Chen Rong had also been invited to participate in the exploration.

"I was invited here by Wang Ping of the Dharma Protector Hall to wait for you. If you are going to set up the Six Yang Evil-Repelling Barrier to deal with the Guardian Ghost General, are you two also there?" Chen Rong couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.

"We are the same, of course. Let me introduce you. This is Chen Zhen, my nephew. He is a few years older than Chen Yu and Chen Lan. He is from Team C of the Guardian Hall."

Chen Zhen clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Li Mo.

"My name is Chen Zhen. I greet Instructor Li."

"Military Advisor Chen, there's no need for such formalities."

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Chen Zhen offered a brief explanation.

Wang Ping suspected something was amiss when someone was selling large quantities of Nine Yin Herbs at the foot of the mountain. He spent a lot of money to buy information and learned that it was discovered in a mass grave in Gusha County, Zhanghe Prefecture. He went there with great interest and ended up finding a place that seemed to be an ancient site of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He made some discoveries after exploring further, but he also encountered a large number of ghosts.

Out of caution, Wang Ping chose to retreat and invited two friends he had met in the Dharma Protector Hall, Chen Zhen and Xiao Fan. However, the three of them encountered a Foundation Establishment stage ghost general and were defeated once again.

"Xiao Fan?"

Li Mo was repeatedly shocked.

This man was the son-in-law of the Luo family, and he had heard about him from his interactions with Luo Shan.

"Hehe, Wang Canjun is new to the Protector Hall and has no connections here. The conflict between the aristocratic disciples and the Justice Society is becoming increasingly intense. He probably invited us because he thought that Xiao Fan and I are also marginal figures and didn't want to cause trouble."

He laughed to himself.

"Then Xiao Fan suggested that the three of them each invite one more person to form the Six Yang Evil-Repelling Barrier to deal with that ghost general."

"Ancient Temple County, possibly an ancient site from the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

The term "ancient temple" simply means an ancient monastery, so it's not unreasonable to suspect that ancient relics from the Zhou Dynasty might be found here.

Li Mo couldn't help but think of the ancient ruins of the Great Zhou Dynasty that he had discovered underground in the Cangyuan Plains of the Southern Barbarian Lands. Unfortunately, the ruins were only a corner of the city, and they had all been taken by the bamboo rat spirit named Huang Tong.

Chen Rong sighed.

"The struggle between the disciples of aristocratic families and the disciples of independent practitioners has lasted for decades. Because of the two hall masters, the Alchemy Hall has always been a secluded paradise on the mountain. Now, this last place of peace will probably no longer exist."

Chen Rong looked at Li Mo with a complicated expression.

“Junior Brother Li, although we have different backgrounds, I have never treated you as an outsider. Now that the Lingmu Sect is in a state of flux, I think a conflict between the two sides is inevitable. But no matter how things develop in the future, I hope that we will not stand on opposite sides.”

"Me too."

Li Mo's response lacked confidence.

He seemed to have returned to his days in the Eighteen Mountains, where one was not in control of one's own destiny in the martial world, and the Lingmu Sect was just a slightly larger part of the martial world.

At this time.

Wang Ping and another pair of male and female cultivators walked over.

Wang Ping was once an inspector of the Heavenly Mandate Division of Bai'an County. Li Mo watched him rise step by step from inspector to junior officer, and then during his term as junior officer, he was promoted to Foundation Establishment and transferred to the Dharma Protector Hall.

Then Li Mo looked at Xiao Fan.

Back then, Li Mo shone brightly in the second-year final exam of the advanced study hall, attracting the attention of Luo Shan, a first-year female disciple.

The Luo family was a once-powerful but now declining family.

In this generation, only two girls in the Luo family possessed spiritual roots, so they planned to recruit two outstanding independent disciples to become their sons-in-law.

Luo Shan first took a liking to Li Mo.

Li Mo naturally couldn't become a live-in son-in-law, so Lü Tong secretly warned Luo Shan. After that, Luo Shan gave up on Li Mo and chose Xiao Fan, who was in the same grade as her.

Later, when Li Mo was learning formations from Wang Xiyue, he also witnessed Xiao Fan and Chen Linglong with the Heavenly Frost Thunder Body in the final assessment.

It must be said that Rosanne has a very good eye.

Both Li Mo and Xiao Fan have now advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Now that everyone's here, come on, let me introduce you all!"

Through Wang Ping's introduction, Li Mo learned that the female cultivator beside Xiao Fan was named Lü Ping, who had a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level and was a squad leader in the Enforcement Hall, but was not skilled in puppetry.

Chen Rong, Lü Ping, and Li Mo, all of whom were at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, nodded politely to each other.

At this moment, Li Mo suddenly remembered that when Lü Cuicui introduced Luo Shan, she mentioned that Luo Shan had an aunt who married into the Luo family. Could it be this Lü Ping?

Wang Ping gestured to the crowd.

"Let's discuss the establishment of the Six Yang Evil-Repelling Barrier on the way. Or shall we head to the post station first and take the flying boat?"

"it is good."

"Then let's go."

"Everyone!"

Li Mo suddenly spoke up.

"There are only a dozen days left until the evening moon. According to custom, it is best not to go out during the evening moon, so let's hurry up. I have a flying vehicle here that is specially used for traveling. Although the space is a bit small, it can accommodate six people and save a lot of time."

"Oh?"

"That would be even better!"

Amidst everyone's delighted expressions, Li Mo arrived at the post station and unveiled the white jade flying chariot. Its exquisite craftsmanship immediately drew admiration and envy from the group.

Anyone could see that this white jade flying chariot was undoubtedly very valuable.

However, it was indeed a bit crowded for six people to ride in this flying car; it had reached its limit.

"Let's go."

With Li Mo's command, the macaque puppet's red eyes lit up, and the flying vehicle quickly rose from the ground, disappeared into the clouds, and flew towards the direction of Gusha County.

Lü Ping then began to explain to everyone the precautions to take when setting up the Six Yang Evil-Repelling Barrier.
