What's wrong with me, a powerful minister, supporting a few female officials?

Chapter 357 Lord Su! This matter cannot be discussed with my disciple!

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the spiritual energy vortex, Su Mo's expression instantly turned serious.

Although he had not yet achieved the Golden Core stage, he knew that this was a celestial phenomenon caused by the advancement of the Golden Core stage.

It's almost identical to the system's reward of cultivation level and the absorption of spiritual energy by one's own Yellow Spring Void Core!
The spiritual energy gathered more and more, forming a huge vortex above the Su residence, covering an area of ​​three or four miles, constantly drawing spiritual energy from the void and rushing madly towards the study.

Su Mo's expression grew increasingly solemn, and he vaguely sensed that an aura brimming with vitality was brewing and growing within the study!
He quickly channeled his magical power, ready to unleash his magic weapon at any moment!

A gigantic, pitch-black spider-like form also faintly appeared in the sky above!

Such a terrifying phenomenon will surely attract the attention of those ancient immortal monsters in the capital.

Su Mo was naturally afraid of disturbing Xiao Lizhuang's promotion.

Xiao Lizhuang was able to advance to the next realm only with his help.

Given her personality, she will definitely not refuse to do anything I ask her to do in the future.

With a powerful mid-stage Golden Core sorcerer as a henchman, who would dare to bully him then?

If I encounter an assassin again, all I need to do is shout "Palace Master Xiao, save me!" and I'll surely defeat the assassin in no time!
In the entire world, there is only one person recognized as being in the Divine Ascension Realm, and there are probably only a handful of people in the Heavenly Infant Realm as well.

Golden Core cultivators are the pinnacle of the cultivation world, with the majority being at the early Golden Core stage.

Once Xiao Lizhuang advances to the mid-stage, she will be considered to be among the top few in the cultivation world.

The extraordinary phenomena caused by advancing to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm are bound to attract attention.

It was as expected by Su Mo.

He unleashed his full power, and in no time, he sensed four extremely powerful divine thoughts, which seemed to be spreading towards the Su residence like an overwhelming force!

Su Mo felt a sudden chill run down his spine.

These terrifying divine thoughts definitely surpass the Golden Core realm; they are those of a Celestial Infant True Person!

Two of the divine thoughts had a vague sense of familiarity.

Ok……

Leng Liuxi and An Wu!

Su Mo was at a loss for words.

Isn't it said that there are only a handful of Heavenly Infant True Persons?

How could there be four ceilings hidden within the capital city?

Su Mo knew about the Empress, who was at the Heavenly Infant Realm, while An Wu only vaguely sensed that she was also at this level of cultivation.

But what about the other two Heavenly Infant Divine Thoughts?
Is Tianying Zhenren (a legendary figure in Chinese mythology) becoming so commonplace?
However, with the Empress and An Wu protecting her, Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

As Su Mo expected, the other two infant spirits sensed the auras of the Empress and An Wu, and immediately receded like a tide!
Several other figures appeared one after another outside the Su residence, and then fled in panic!
Su Mo secretly marveled at the Empress's awe-inspiring power, but then he heard a hurried voice coming from the study.

"Lord Su! Come in quickly!"

Su Mo was startled.

The voice was naturally emitted by Xiao Lizhuang, who was in the process of being promoted.

But there's something about this that feels off.

Su Mo hurriedly pushed open the door and entered the study, then her eyes suddenly widened in disbelief as she looked at Xiao Lizhuang.

"Palace Master Xiao...how could you..."

……

Outside the capital, in a secluded mansion.

The old eunuch Chen Hai's expression suddenly changed. His entire body's energy was instantly absorbed into his body at an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye, he became a withered old man on the verge of death, with no trace of the aura of a Heavenly Infant True Person.

Bai Susu, who was standing nearby, was startled and quickly asked, "Eunuch Chen, what has happened?"

Chen Hai waved his hand with lightning speed, summoning more than a dozen array flags, completely concealing all his aura, his sparse old eyebrows furrowing tightly!

He then said in a deep voice, "A sorcerer has advanced to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm!"

Bai Susu was stunned.

Once you advance to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, you're at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

To him, this was an incredibly terrifying sorcerer.

Chen Hai certainly didn't see it that way.

This old eunuch is a monster at the Heavenly Infant Realm, how could he care about a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator? But why does he look so solemn... even with a hint of panic?

Chen Hai frowned, as if talking to himself, and said, "That's strange!"

"How come a Golden Core cultivator has advanced to a high level in that young man's household, and even attracted the attention of a Three-Day Infant True Person?"

"Hmm? Could this be a trap set for our family?"

Bai Susu was startled again upon hearing this.

Three Heavenly Infants?

how can that be!

As Chen Hai spoke, he suddenly turned to look at Bai Susu, his expression unusually grim: "It seems we can't make a move against that Su guy for now!"

"We just sensed the aura of the Demon-Subduing Pestle again. It really is on that Su guy, and he has already refined it!"

Bai Susu asked in surprise, "Is Eunuch Chen sure he's right?"

"Is the Demon-Subduing Pestle really on Su Mo?"

"He's only at the Soul Stabilizing Realm, how could he possibly refine the core component of the Demon-Subduing Pestle?"

Chen Hai's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he looked at Bai Susu with a sinister gaze: "Lord Bai, are you sure he is only at the Soul Stabilizing Realm?"

Bai Susu's expression changed slightly: "What do you mean by that, Eunuch Chen?"

"How could I possibly deceive you, Your Excellency!"

Chen Hai frowned and said, "That's strange!"

"How could we sense that he has already reached the Divine Transformation Realm, and is even at the mid-stage of the Divine Transformation Realm!"

Bai Susu...

She paused for a moment before saying, "Could it be that he was hiding his cultivation level before?"

"Then, in Eunuch Chen's opinion, how should we respond?"

Chen Hai remained silent for a long time, his expression shifting between light and shadow, before finally saying coldly, "Let's see if we can find a way to lure him out with the Demon-Subduing Pestle, or bring him back to the island and see what the Imperial Preceptor can do."

He paused, then added, "And those sweet potatoes, we must find a way to get them too."

As he spoke, his expression suddenly turned strange, and he murmured, "Such a divine seed exists in the world. If only it had existed thirty years earlier..."

……

Inside the palace, Leng Liuxi frowned and looked at An Wu: "Xiao Lizhuang?"

An Wu nodded: "It should be right."

Leng Liuxi was somewhat surprised: "Xiao Lizhuang is at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, so she shouldn't have advanced to the middle stage so quickly."

An Wu said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, please don't forget Marquis Su!"

"Lord Su possesses the Tao Te Ching, an ancient and mysterious classic that helps people achieve sudden enlightenment."

"The mystery of Lord Su is unfathomable, even this old servant cannot see through it. With Lord Su's abilities, it is not impossible for him to help Xiao Lizhuang advance to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm."

He paused slightly, then sighed, "Let alone Su Hou helping Xiao Lizhuang advance to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, even if Su Hou himself advanced to the Golden Core realm, this old servant would not be surprised!"

Leng Liuxi was speechless.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Does An Banban know the details of the other two divine thoughts?"

An Wu thought for a moment and said, "One of them should be the one in the Hall of Offerings."

"Another baby..."

He frowned: "This divine sense is extremely unfamiliar, and this old servant has no idea who it comes from."

Leng Liuxi nodded slowly: "There is a Celestial Infant True Person hidden in the capital, which I was unaware of."

"Send Gou Nu to investigate!"

An Wu quickly replied, "This old servant understands."

……

The study in the Su family mansion.

Su Mo stared at Xiao Lizhuang in disbelief.

Xiao Lizhuang, who was already petite, has shrunk even further, and is probably less than 1.5 meters tall!

Her clothes had fallen down quite a bit, revealing her fair neck and most of her shoulders!

The unfathomable ravine in front of him instantly caught Su Mo's attention, greatly surprising him.

Unexpectedly.

The scale hidden beneath the robes of Palace Master Xiao is truly astonishing!

But Su Mo had no time to witness this breathtaking scene.

At this moment, Xiao Lizhuang's body was clearly an extremely unhealthy porcelain white color. On her skin, her delicate porcelain-like face had extremely small but faintly visible cracks!

The blood and energy beneath her skin seemed to be bursting out of her body!
As more spiritual energy flowed into Xiao Lizhuang's body, the cracks on her cheeks became more pronounced!
Su Mo asked urgently, "Palace Master Xiao, what's wrong?"

Despite the grim situation, Xiao Lizhuang remained remarkably calm and slowly said, "The advancement to the Golden Core stage is also a tribulation, extremely dangerous!"

"Li Zhuang's Reverse Life Technique is incomplete, and she cannot fully control the spiritual energy flowing into her body!"

"If the advancement is not forcibly interrupted, the spiritual energy will reverse and the body will explode and die within half a cup of tea's time."

Su Mo's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Palace Master, why don't you stop the advancement immediately?"

Xiao Lizhuang shook her head: "If we stop now, not only will my cultivation level plummet, but my foundation will also be damaged, and I will never have any hope of returning to the Golden Core stage again!"

In the short time it took to speak, Xiao Lizhuang's figure shrank even further, the cracks on her face became more obvious, and there was even a faint white light seeping out!

Su Mo never expected such a thing to happen.

The cultivation methods of the Pixel Maiden Palace all have various side effects, causing people to explode and die at the drop of a hat, or to go into qi deviation at the drop of a hat.

After obtaining the Incense and Godhood Book, I must find a way to help Lin Moyin deduce and perfect the cultivation method and eliminate any hidden dangers!

He said in a deep voice, "Then what should we do?"

Xiao Lizhuang looked at Su Mo with a solemn expression: "Lizhuang has a method, but I need Lord Su's help, but I'm afraid there will be danger!"

Su Mo frowned: "Palace Master Xiao, please speak!"

Xiao Lizhuang took a deep breath, but unexpectedly, her body shape changed too much. With each breath, the gauze dress that was barely hanging on her body slipped directly to the ground.

Su Mo stared at the scene in disbelief.

Xiao Li was dressed in red.
Su Mo couldn't help but sigh, Li Zhuang's beauty was truly rare in the world!
Xiao Lizhuang seemed completely unaware, and made no attempt to conceal her actions. Under Su Mo's gaze, she said in a deep voice, "Lizhuang needs to transfer a portion of her spiritual power to Su Hou together with him!"

Su Mo was dumbfounded!

To actually resort to such measures!
Is this appropriate?

Xiao Lizhuang is the master of Lin Moyin and Ning Xiaoxiao!
Xiao Lizhuang frowned slightly and said, "Lord Su, just use the Yellow Spring Secret Technique to guide spiritual energy into the Yellow Spring Void Core!"

"However, the spiritual power gathered by the Reverse Life Technique is too strong. I'm afraid even Huangquan's nascent core won't be able to withstand it. If that happens, it will definitely damage Su Hou's Dao foundation."

Su Mo hesitated.

He was only two major realms away from the Divine Realm and the Golden Core Realm.

Not to mention that Xiao Lizhuang has advanced to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

Such terrifying spiritual energy, even a small portion of it, could burst one's body instantly without the absorption of the Yellow Spring Void Core.

The Yellow Springs Elixir can devour spiritual energy, but there is a limit. It needs to be absorbed and digested. Otherwise, the Empress would not have made him soak in the Nine Spirits Return to One Soup several times.

If Xiao Lizhuang infuses too much spiritual energy into his body, and he doesn't absorb it directly like the cultivation points rewarded by the system, it might really damage his cultivation foundation!

Of course, he not only possessed the Yellow Springs Elixir, but also two pieces of the Demon-Subduing Pestle.

If that doesn't work, you can still draw spiritual energy into the demonic spider's avatar!
The Heavenly Net Demon Spider, a manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth, is only 10% complete in its refining process!

Even though Su Mo had already refined it with the power of incense and prayers, the progress was still only 10%, with no progress at all.

Xiao Lizhuang looked at Su Mo intently, without urging him on.

However, her slightly rapid, fluctuating breathing betrayed her nervousness.
Xiao Lizhuang knew very well that the Dao Foundation was extremely important to a sorcerer. Once the Dao Foundation was damaged, it was basically equivalent to losing the possibility of advancing further!

It's perfectly normal for Su Mo to refuse to help!

Su Mo pondered for a long time, then finally let out a long breath and said in a deep voice, "I will lend Palace Master Xiao a hand!"

Xiao Lizhuang immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "Please forgive Lizhuang's rudeness!"

As she spoke, a hint of shyness finally appeared on her pretty face. She waved her hand at Su Mo, and her robes instantly ripped to shreds on the ground. Then she quickly walked towards Su Mo!

Su Mo...

Xiao Lizhuang's figure was even more petite than Qin Bier's, which perfectly matched his aesthetic standards.

However, in all honesty, I didn't think much of it; I was just trying to help Xiao Lizhuang with her cultivation.

I was forced into it!

Sure enough, as Xiao Lizhuang took the initiative, incredibly pure spiritual energy surged from her body.

Su Mo quickly calmed his mind and focused his spirit, circulating the Yellow Spring Secret Technique to guide the Golden Core Qi into the illusory core!
Xiao Lizhuang gritted her teeth, enduring the excruciating pain of her body being torn apart, and continuously channeled the spiritual energy that the world had been pouring into her body into Su Mo.

Soon, the pain on his face subsided considerably. The countless tiny cracks on his body disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Su Mo felt the spiritual energy surging into his body in waves, rhythmically following Xiao Lizhuang's movements!

Unexpectedly, the Yellow Spring Void Elixir benefited more from absorbing the power of this Golden Elixir than from absorbing the power of medicinal soup.

Under the tempering and refining power of the Golden Core, it continuously expands and contracts, and with each expansion and contraction, it becomes more solid!
It lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The Yellow Spring Golden Elixir suddenly emitted a deep, muffled sound like thunder!
The illusory image becomes real!

The external elixir is finally complete!

Xiao Lizhuang couldn't help but stare in astonishment at Su Mo, who was standing right in front of her!
I could clearly feel the aura of the Golden Core emanating from Su Mo's body!

He's already refined the Yellow Springs External Elixir?
But Xiao Lizhuang was immediately shocked.

Normally, after I transferred one-third of my Golden Core power into Su Mo's body, the Golden Core within him should have been completely stabilized, and the strange phenomena and spiritual energy vortex caused by his advancement should have stopped.

But at this very moment, Su Mo actually condensed his outer core!

As the two became one, the spiritual energy vortex that seemed about to dissipate actually condensed again, flowing through Xiao Lizhuang's body and into Su Mo's body.

Double Golden Core Tribulation!
Xiao Lizhuang's expression changed.

"Can Lord Su still hold on?"

"If not, Li Zhuang can forcibly stop the Pill Tribulation!"

In this way, one's cultivation will be damaged to some extent, but not the foundation of one's cultivation. At most, one will fall back to the Golden Core realm. With time and hard work, one can return to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm!
Su Mo's heart stirred.

The Yellow Springs outer elixir was completed, and it seemed to have had its fill, no longer absorbing the power of the golden elixir.

However, the Heavenly Net Demon Spider Dharma Form is still eating!
Progress 14%!

He glanced at Xiao Lizhuang clinging to him and said in a deep voice, "It's alright, Palace Master Xiao, please continue. I can still hold on!"

Xiao Lizhuang was immediately taken aback.

Although his Reverse Life Technique was incomplete, it was still a Heavenly Infant Realm technique with extremely powerful effects. A mid-stage Golden Core cultivator could be compared to an ordinary late-stage Golden Core cultivator!

Even though only one-third of the Golden Core power entered Su Mo's body, it was enough for Su Mo to condense the Yellow Spring Void Core!

Now that the elixir is complete, the Yellow Spring Golden Elixir needs time to stabilize and should not be able to absorb spiritual energy.

So, is it Su Mo himself who is absorbing the spiritual energy now?

The problem is, Su Mo is only at the mid-stage of the Divine Realm!

How could he contain the power of the Golden Core?
However, seeing that Su Mo didn't seem to be struggling at all, Xiao Lizhuang hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Alright!"

"If Marquis Su cannot hold on, you must immediately inform Li Zhuang!"

Su Mo nodded seriously and said, "Okay!"

Two or three incense sticks' worth of time passed. Su Mo used Xiao Lizhuang as a medium to continuously introduce the power of the Golden Core into the Dharma Image to refine the Heavenly Net Demon Spider!
Suddenly, a system notification popped up out of nowhere.

[Hint: The Heavenly Net Demon Spider Dharma Form refinement progress is 30%, and the Heavenly Net Divine Power has increased by 1!]

Su Mo was overjoyed.

I was just about to refine the Dharma Image in one go, to see if I could refine it 100%.

Suddenly, he discovered that no spiritual energy was entering his body.

Su Mo stared at Xiao Lizhuang in astonishment: "Why does Palace Master Xiao have no spiritual power?"

Xiao Lizhuang was shocked and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The Pill Tribulation has dissipated! Lizhuang and you have survived the Pill Tribulation!"

Su Mo: "Oh!"

He patted his rounded area: "Continue! I still need to consolidate my cultivation!"

Another half hour passed.

Su Mo, looking refreshed, emerged from the study in a brand-new robe!

Not long after, Xiao Lizhuang emerged from the study with a solemn expression.

His figure has recovered, and he has even grown a little over an inch taller.

The original clothes now seemed too small, outlining her body's silhouette too tightly.

Su Mo glanced at Xiao Lizhuang, swallowed hard, and then quickly said, "Palace Master Xiao's dress doesn't fit. I'll go find you a new outfit."

The fact that Palace Master Xiao's body keeps changing size is simply baffling.

I'll need to buy more clothes in the future.

However, Qin Bier and Xiao Lizhuang are now about the same size, so her dress fits Xiao Lizhuang perfectly.

Xiao Lizhuang nodded gently: "Thank you for your trouble, Marquis Su."

"Uh...May I ask, Lord Su, where is the bathhouse?"

Su Mo quickly said, "The bathhouse is in the back courtyard. Palace Master Xiao, you can go and bathe first. I will take the dress there."

Xiao Lizhuang nodded and said, "Okay!"

He paused, hesitated for a moment, then looked at Su Mo with a serious expression and said, "Lord Su, what happened before was a last resort. Do not mention it again in the future... uh, especially do not mention it to Mo'er or Xiao Xiao."

Su Mo's expression was serious, and he said firmly, "Palace Master Xiao, rest assured, I will definitely not tell any outsiders!"

Xiao Lizhuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

That would be best; otherwise, how could I face my two disciples?

Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she silently curtsied to Su Mo before heading towards the inner courtyard!

Su Mo went to Qin Bi'er's room to prepare a change of clothes for Xiao Lizhuang.

……

At the palace, both Leng Liuxi and An Wu showed expressions of surprise and doubt.

"The phenomenon of the Golden Core lasted for a full half hour?"

The Empress frowned and looked at An Wu: "An Wu, do you know why?"

An Wu frowned and shook his head: "This old servant cannot make a judgment either."

"Xiao Lizhuang cultivates the Reverse Life Technique. It is said that this cultivation method can lead directly to the Heavenly Infant stage, and its power far surpasses that of ordinary methods."

He paused, then said somewhat uncertainly, "It is said that the Reverse Life Technique is incomplete. Although its cultivation is rapid, it has many hidden dangers, and people often die from disordered spiritual energy. Therefore, very few people cultivate this method."

"It seems that Xiao Lizhuang obtained the complete Reverse Life Technique, which is why she was able to generate such a strange phenomenon of the Pill Tribulation. It lasts for a much longer time than ordinary mid-stage Golden Core cultivators. I'm afraid her true strength is comparable to that of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator!"

Leng Liuxi nodded slightly: "Xiao Lizhuang's ability to advance to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm is indeed beyond my expectations."

"The information about the Su Nu Palace in the Offering Hall needs to be revised in a timely manner."

"Furthermore, try to obtain the complete Reverse Life Technique from Xiao Lizhuang!"

A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she said calmly, "If this method is truly without flaws and its progress is so rapid, after observing and verifying it, it should be able to help me advance in my cultivation!"

An Wu sighed: "Every method has its flaws, and people say that there is no way to become an immortal in the human world."

"Even if Xiao Lizhuang obtains the Flawless Heavenly Infant Technique, she will probably only be able to reach the Heavenly Infant stage and will find it difficult to glimpse the secrets of Divine Travel!"

Leng Liuxi sneered: "If there is no road ahead, I will open one!"

Although An Wu remained silent, he smiled bitterly to himself.

This road is not easy to drive.

For millions of years, those who have become immortals and attained enlightenment have only been legends and have never been verified.

An Wu even doubted whether the method to become an immortal truly existed!

Inside the Su residence, Xiao Lizhuang was bathing in the hot spring. Su Mo's feelings were naturally very complicated, but also incredibly pleasant.

Unexpectedly, the golden core was condensed so easily.

I guess I can be considered a Golden Core Realm sorcerer now?

The external elixir is also a genuine golden elixir!

Aside from not being able to achieve the Heavenly Infant stage through external alchemy, he also possessed all the methods available to Golden Core cultivators!
The speed at which the natal magic treasures, the sword embryo and the demon-subduing pestle, which were nurtured within his body, were being tempered had obviously increased significantly!
If people knew that he could nurture two natal magic treasures at the same time, they would be extremely shocked.

Having condensed the Yellow Springs outer elixir, Su Mo clearly noticed that his divine sense had become much stronger, and he could easily sense the movement of grass and wind in the courtyard.

Their control over magical power had reached an indescribable level.

Using the same amount of magical power as before, the power of the spell is increased by more than 30%!

With the ability to summon wind and rain, the power of the Heavenly Net Magic Power also increases!

If I were to use my power to summon wind and rain now, I could instantly summon a gale of level seven or eight, as well as a torrential downpour covering an area of ​​a thousand meters in radius!

A net of heaven and earth can trap even a Golden Elixir sorcerer!
Su Mo didn't know what other people's supernatural abilities were like.

However, his ability to summon wind and rain is quite powerful, and it gives him a much greater advantage in farming than other Golden Core cultivators!

He released his divine sense to introspect on his body.

Not counting the Yellow Springs external elixir, his magical power increased by more than 30%, and his internal organs became stronger.

The breathing became longer and more even!

With each breath, one can absorb a wisp of spiritual energy from heaven and earth!
Although the sword embryo and the demon-subduing pestle may not seem to have improved in rank, once activated with the power of the Yellow Spring Golden Pill, their power is many times greater than before!
Just as Su Mo was itching to summon the sword embryo to test its power...

Suddenly, his ears twitched slightly as he heard footsteps approaching the back courtyard.

Just from the sound of his footsteps, one could tell that it was Jiang Laoshi.

The six senses of a Golden Core cultivator are indeed powerful.

Before long, Jiang Laoshi arrived at the inner courtyard and respectfully greeted from outside, "Reporting to Master, Lord Chi has come to see you again!"

Su Mo was taken aback for a moment, then walked out of the room: "Lord Chi is here?"

Jiang Laoshi quickly replied, "Lord Chi came on a fast horse, accompanied by a dozen or so men who looked like members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He said he wanted to invite Palace Master Xiao to travel to Tiannan Road together."

Su Mo's heart stirred.

It seems that Chi Wulei plans to secretly infiltrate Tiannan Road and catch its officials off guard.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Go and inform Lord Chi that Palace Master Xiao is temporarily unavailable, and ask her to set off first..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Lizhuang suddenly pushed open the door of the side room and nodded to Su Mo, saying, "Lord Su, Lizhuang is well."

"I will now accompany Lord Chi to Tiannan Road!"

Su Mo frowned, but finally nodded: "Then Palace Master Xiao, please be careful."

"Hmm... If you are not up to the task, remember not to force yourself, and prioritize your own well-being!"

Xiao Lizhuang smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, sir!"

"I'm taking my leave now, Lord Su, there's no need for you to see me off."

After saying that, he drifted away.

Su Mo let out a breath and only withdrew her gaze after Xiao Lizhuang's figure disappeared.

Turning around, he saw Jiang Laoshi staring blankly in the direction where Xiao Lizhuang had disappeared.

Su Mo snorted: "What are you looking at?"

Jiang Laoshi then came to his senses and hurriedly replied, "Master, what Palace Master Xiao was wearing just now looks like Madam Qin's ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress)."

Su Mo's face darkened: "You've misjudged!"

He paused, then snorted, "If you dare to talk nonsense again and ruin someone's reputation, see how I deal with you!"

Jiang was dumbfounded.

Palace Master Xiao was merely wearing Madam Qin's dress; what does that have to do with his reputation?

Uh……

Lady Qin's ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress)?

Why did Palace Master Xiao suddenly change into Madam Qin's dress?!
The next second, Jiang Laoshi gasped in shock!
Ah!
I misread it!
I must have seen it wrong!

Even if His Majesty the Emperor and Madam Lin came to ask him together, he would still be mistaken!

Su Mo chased Jiang Laoshi away with a dark face.

They also lost interest in testing the power of the Yellow Springs External Elixir.

Afterwards, I planned to go to the hot spring to cleanse myself and then get a good night's rest.

Suddenly, a black light came from outside the courtyard and then hovered in the air. Su Mo looked closely and saw that it was a locust that was as big as a thumb.

How could there be locusts in the capital?
Su Mo was stunned for a moment, then reached out and caught the locust.

Then his eyes narrowed suddenly, and he was shocked to see that the locust was carrying a wax pellet at its feet!

He crushed the wax ball, revealing a small piece of silk inside: "Never leave the capital! Danger! Rainy night under the eaves!"

Upon seeing the wax pill, Su Mo's eyes narrowed suddenly!
Locusts! On the eaves of a rainy night!
Bai Susu, the demoness of the Heavenly Mother Sect?

Has she come to the capital again?

What is the meaning of this message?
Is there danger ahead if I leave the capital? Are the people of the Heavenly Mother Sect after me? Wasn't the Golden Core cultivator who tried to assassinate me last time sent by King Rong?
The question is, why did Bai Susu secretly tell him this news?

Su Mo frowned.

I pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

Finally, he used his magic to turn the silk cloth and locusts into ashes!

　I'm still recovering from my cold, so I'll write 3,000 words first, and continue tomorrow.
