The road is vague

Chapter 362 Master Soul Bone
A few more days passed.

Li Mo, who was meditating in the main hall of the secret room, noticed someone entering from outside.

The five of them looked over and saw a severely injured, one-armed cultivator staggering over, supported by Elder Tian.

"Fellow Daoist Ding!"

Hai Shu instinctively exclaimed in surprise and, along with the other three, rushed over.

Half of the cultivator surnamed Ding's body was corroded beyond recognition by the black ink, emitting a necrotic stench. Clearly, his cultivation foundation had been damaged, and even if he were healed, his lifespan would be greatly reduced.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Quickly wash the wound with my Miracle Water!"

Everyone rushed over and hurriedly began to treat him.

This cultivator surnamed Ding was clearly one of the other two who had broken out separately when they were trapped on Starfish Island. After seeing Hai Shu, he breathed a sigh of relief, then looked around but did not see the other person who had broken out separately. He then asked anxiously.

"Where is Fellow Daoist Zhang? Hasn't he returned yet?"

Hai Shu slowly shook her head, and finally couldn't help but cover her face and wipe away her tears.

Upon seeing this, the Ding surname cultivator who had managed to escape also closed his eyes and let the other three treat him.

They were ordered to come to this remote sea area to develop and distribute their forces. Before they could achieve anything, they had already suffered heavy losses and lost many men. This pained him deeply. However, he knew that the organization existed to liberate all the unaffiliated cultivators so that they could live freely in this sea area. Even if it meant making sacrifices, he was willing to do so.

"Ding Si, just bear with it!"

Say it.

Before Ding Si could respond, the Hundred Spirits Water, containing the juice of dozens of spiritual herbs, was poured onto his wounds.

"what……"

Ding Si then screamed in agony. The violent spiritual power had formed a powerful neutralization with the ink curse, and white foam appeared on his skin. He then fell into a coma.

When Li Mo activated his spiritual eye and saw the effects of the Hundred Spirit Water, he was immediately astonished. Its speed of action far surpassed that of the pills he carried.

"Since everything is alright here, I'll go upstairs first."

After the four men settled Ding Si in, Old Tian left the hall to continue his duty.

After wiping Ding Si's sweat, Hai Shu looked at his skin, which was constantly bubbling with white bubbles, and couldn't help but frown.

"He's been poisoned by the Abyss Ink, and the curse has seeped into his body. This can no longer be neutralized by the Hundred Spirits Water. He needs strong pills to be taken internally for treatment. The only way is to return to headquarters, but we already don't have enough people to carry out the mission. Now we have to send him away. What should we do?"

Everyone fell silent.

At this moment, Li Mo suddenly said, "I do have a method that I can try."

"Oh?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Li Mo calmly began to explain.

"I have also come into contact with this so-called Netherworld Ink on Starfish Island. Without a magic weapon to protect oneself and enough spiritual light to protect the body, it is indeed quite troublesome to be splashed with filth. Fortunately, my Yang Lightning focuses on explosive power and has some exorcising and demon-repelling effects. As long as I control it well, it will be enough to expel and purify some of the curse power. As for the remaining bit of poison and curse, I believe that with Fellow Daoist Ding's physical body, it will be enough to eliminate it on its own."

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.

However, since they couldn't think of a better method at the moment, they had no choice but to let Li Mo give it a try.

As the effects of the Hundred Spirits Water wore off, Hai Shu and the other three withdrew. Li Mo came to the side of the unconscious Ding Si, and slowly stretched out his hands in a cross-legged posture to help the other man sit up in front of him. In an instant, his hands turned into lightning and plunged into Ding Si's back.

The four onlookers were immediately startled.

Fortunately, Ding Si let out a muffled groan and did not show any abnormalities, so the four of them were relieved. They looked at Li Mo's lightning-like hands as they inserted them into Ding Si's body, and they all looked incredulous.

"No wonder this person is so highly valued and wanted at all costs."

Li Mo, who cultivated both body and spirit, used his lightning spiritual power to expel and purify the remaining curse on one hand, and his vital energy to temporarily strengthen the other party's physique and vitality on the other. He actually combined medical skills with cultivator's magic, and treated this patient with surgical medical principles that were commonly circulated in Lu Kingdom.

Strands of lightning energy emanated from Ding Si's body.

Affected by these lightning bolts, black smoke continued to billow out and drift away.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Mo slowly withdrew his hands. At this moment, Ding Si's complexion was rosy and his breathing was even. There were no longer any abnormalities from being cursed. The way Hai Shu and the others looked at Li Mo was completely different from before.

"Fellow Daoist Li's thunder magic is profound and his methods are extraordinary, truly an eye-opener for me!"

"Indeed, such methods are unheard of!"

Although Hai Shu didn't say anything, the burning desire in her eyes was hard to hide.

She was almost certain that although this person was only a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, his future prospects were limitless. If she could win him over to the Survival Society, he would surely become a valuable asset to the organization and lead everyone to a better life.

Amidst the praise, Li Mo felt a long-lost joy and couldn't help but recall his life as a traveling doctor in Hua'an Town, where he was also grateful to others and had the heart of a doctor.

He suddenly had a flash of inspiration!
"Could we further explore the aspects of the dualistic chaotic thunder that tend towards miracles, dreams, wishes, and ideals, and fully utilize the characteristics of the ethereal Dao tradition to provide medical treatment or offer hope to certain specific groups of people, thereby embedding the multi-dimensional chaotic thunder Dao into the world order of the Mountain and Sea Realm?"

Rumble. Just as Li Mo was lost in thought, a flash of inspiration struck, the stone door to the secret chamber opened again.

Soul Bone Master emerged from the secret chamber and examined Ding Si's injuries.

"Senior Soul Bone, this is all thanks to Fellow Daoist Li."

"Yeah yeah."

Soul Bone Master looked at Li Mo.

"Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Li, for saving me. Since that's the case, I can't refuse your request. So I'll make the decision and grant your request to borrow the teleportation array."

Li Mo was overjoyed upon hearing this.

However, the Soul Bone Master suddenly changed the subject.

"But to be honest, Elder Bingyang has reached an agreement with us. As long as we help him kill the chaotic two-headed serpent god on Serpent King Island, he will join us. I have been preparing for this for the past few years. However, the two supernatural powers of this serpent god are extraordinary. We need to suppress them with the power of the barrier first. Only when the two of us join forces can we ensure that nothing goes wrong."

At this point, he paused.

"Our Eight Directions Correction Barrier is effective against various chaotic, distorted, and cursed forces, but it requires at least eight Golden Core cultivators to suppress them. Even if Fellow Daoist Ding awakens, we can only gather seven people here for the time being. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Li would be willing to join us? After the matter is accomplished, I am willing to give you three bottles of Hundred Spirit Water from within the organization, plus... my guidance on puppetry. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mo was momentarily tempted.

He found it hard to refuse either the Hundred Spirits Water or the guidance from the puppetry master.

He had naturally heard of the chaotic two-headed serpent god on King Island.

Legend has it that this great god has two heads: one that can absorb life force and steal lifespan, and the other that can twist and dislocate the body, causing bizarre and tragic deaths. Just hearing about it is enough to send chills down your spine.

"But there are only seven people here. Where is the remaining person?"

Li Mo asked in confusion.

Upon hearing this, the Soul Bone Master couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"The man's name is He Ku. He claims to be from the Ling Kingdom's Bitter Punishment Sect in the Central Plains. He said that decades ago, he traveled across the deep sea on a driftwood for ten years, barely escaping with his life. He is one of the three native cultivators of the Thousand Treasures Islands that I most wanted to recruit after I established a branch of the organization on these islands. He has already agreed to our request and will come here to make the payment in a month or two at most."

The Soul Bone Master was not worried at all that this person would have an accident.

Thinking about it, that makes sense. How could a cultivator who could drift in the deep sea for ten years easily perish in the invasion of an outer god?

"A disciple of the Torture Sect, drifting for ten years to reach this place?"

Li Mo murmured in shock.

The Wuji Dao that Lingguo adheres to is the continuous ascent to the ultimate realm.

Although he didn't know much about the Torture Sect, he knew it was a sect that enjoyed self-torture, where disciples would often dedicate their lives to a certain thing, treating the hardships and pain they endured as the joy of cultivation.

"Very well, I agree to this!"

Seeing that Li Mo acted decisively and without any hesitation, Soul Bone Master nodded in satisfaction.

With Li Mo's addition, although he failed to complete his task of establishing an organization branch, as long as he could recruit more people, it wouldn't be a complete failure.

"Haha, since that's the case, it's still early, and I don't have anything else to do right now. Why don't we exchange some techniques? I heard from Hai Shu that you are a reclusive puppet master with unparalleled skill in puppetry. I'm really itching to try my hand at it; it's been a long time since I've met a new puppeteer."

"It is better to obey orders than to be respectful!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mo immediately followed.

Puppet Master and Puppet Grandmaster, though differing by only one word, represent different levels of puppetry skill.

After Li Mo finished crafting the Seven-Headed Black Dragon Matrix Puppet, he could vaguely sense that he had encountered some kind of obstacle. If he wanted to further improve his puppetry skills, it was no longer a matter of materials.

half a month later.

Li Mo muttered to himself in a daze and walked out of the secret room.

"The interaction between heaven and man, the human body and the universe. To become a puppet master, one must make the puppets get rid of their inanimate form and become living beings that can feed, repair, and evolve on their own. This is truly incredible."

the other side.

The Soul Bone Master in the secret chamber looked at the room full of rare spiritual bones, and for a moment he lost all interest.

After learning about the basic concept of the Matrix Puppet, he always felt it was like a dream, unbelievable.

"To actually fuse the Dao of Formations with the Dao of Puppetry, he is truly a genius. This person's Dao of Formations is probably even more advanced than his puppetry skills. With such talent, it would be a great pity if he couldn't join the organization."

The Soul Bone Master sighed with regret.

"This matter must be reported to the leader so that she can make a decision personally and find a way to win this person over."
