Immortality: Starting with Plundering the Talents of Monsters

"Alright, alright, stop trying to fool me with your sweet talk."

Luo Lingyue feigned a cold expression, but inwardly she was overjoyed, her emotional needs greatly satisfied.

"I'm not just saying this, I mean it from the bottom of my heart... Think about it, a mid-grade first-tier ice talisman is a rare talisman."

It's inherently very difficult to learn; even ordinary talisman masters would find it hard to master.

Xu Mo's expression was sincere and his face was extremely serious, as if he really wasn't just making things up.

"Only a genius talisman master like you, with exceptional talent in talisman making, can successfully learn such difficult talismans."

Xu Mofu praised it a few more times, then he and Luo Lingyue left the talisman-making room and tidied up the talisman shop.

He drew his Gengjin Cold Iron Sword and fled with Luo Lingyue on the sword.

"By the way, I heard from people in Liuyun Market that there have been frequent incidents of robbing cultivators lately."

Xu Mo stood firmly on the Gengjin Cold Iron Sword, his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering.

"The rampant presence of those Tribulation Cultivators is evident in all areas except for the ancestral lands of my Beast Taming Luo family, the ancestral lands of the Liuyun Zhou family, and the Liuyun Market.

Xu Mo, who had suddenly remembered this, spoke up to remind him.

"You should be more careful when traveling in the future."

Luo Lingyue frowned upon hearing what Xu Mo said.

"These cultivators are truly rampant... They have such cultivation, yet instead of engaging in legitimate business, they resort to robbery and plunder."

"However, no matter how high or powerful these Tribulation cultivators are, they should still be no match for you."

Feeling the spiritual pressure emanating from Xu Mo, who was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and the sharp aura that was a mixture of the scorching heat of the sun and the chill of midnight.

Luo Lingyue couldn't help but feel a sense of peace.

She knew.

Xu Mo's aura changed because he had been observing the Noon Sword Ants and studying their talent, the Noon Sword Intent, for the past few days.

The fact that his aura could emanate a trace of the scorching heat of the sun and the chill of midnight indicated that Xu Mo had made progress in his study of the Midnight Sword Intent.

"Perhaps Xu Mo has already grasped the basics of the Meridian Sword Stance."

"Although Xu Mo can only barely exude a trace of the Meridian Sword Intent now, he is far from reaching the level of the Meridian Sword Stance..."

But given Xu Mo's cautious nature, he wanted to keep everything hidden, fearing that being too dazzling would attract the covetousness of others.

Luo Lingyue stood at the back of the Gengjin Cold Iron Sword, gazing at Xu Mo's back, pondering to herself.

"Based on the speed at which Xu Mo comprehended a first-grade mid-level Golden Light Talisman from the Golden Scale Lizard, he should be attempting to break through to the Meridian Sword Qi now."

"With a cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining, and extremely powerful combat and killing techniques, no Tribulation Cultivator can do anything to Xu Mo."

Thinking of this, Luo Lingyue couldn't help but feel a sense of security.

After all, Xu Mo was her Daoist partner, and they were together every day.

In fact, they are almost always glued together.

Xu Mo would naturally ensure Luo Lingyue's safety.

"With Xu Mo by my side, I no longer need to worry about Jie Xiu."

Luo Lingyue felt reassured and stopped worrying. Instead, she softly said to Xu Mo:

"It's okay, I'm in a safe place all day long."

"Whether it's the Luo family's territory or the Liuyun Market under the Liuyun Zhou family's jurisdiction, these are places where even cultivators dare not set foot."

As she spoke, Luo Lingyue gently tugged at Xu Mo's white robe.

"Even while on the road, there is you, a high-level cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining, who is about to comprehend the Meridian Sword Qi."

"It's perfectly safe; no cultivator would dare to provoke us."

Xu Mo nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Luo Lingyue's words.

"That's true, but I'm still a long way from truly comprehending the Meridian Sword Qi. Lingyue, please stop flattering me."

Xu Mo smiled slightly and spoke humbly.

"However, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Even the most powerful cultivator should always be vigilant to avoid being ambushed by villains."

The world of cultivation is treacherous and fraught with danger; one wrong step can lead to a series of catastrophic consequences… We must remain extremely cautious and never let our guard down.”

"Um."

Luo Lingyue responded softly, following Xu Mo's lead.

Since Xu Mo had already heard about the frequent occurrence of calamity cultivators, he didn't just pay lip service to being cautious.

He naturally released his divine sense the entire way, constantly probing.

Be constantly vigilant for any potential robbers or suspicious individuals.

Furthermore, after telling Luo Lingyue to be wary of thieves in the coming days.

He wanted to conceal his cultivation level as much as possible to avoid being targeted by the tribulation cultivators.

Xu Mo had already reduced his aura to a minimum in order to prevent others from detecting it.

However, it was precisely because of Xu Mo's actions that Jie Xiu mistakenly believed that he was a cultivator who had just entered the mid-stage of Qi Refining and was at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Deliberately hiding oneself is because one is afraid of them.

Suddenly.

Within Xu Mo's consciousness, three figures of cultivators at the fifth level of Qi Refining entered.

The three cultivators at the fifth level of Qi Refining laughed loudly.

Making no attempt to conceal his arrogance, he roared at Xu Mo:

"Haha, we've caught two fat sheep today."

"His cultivation level is low, yet he possesses such a fine first-grade mid-level magic weapon."

Among them, the leader, a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining, stared directly at the Gengjin Cold Iron Sword at Xu Mo's feet, examining it closely without any attempt to hide his gaze.

"Tsk tsk, this mid-grade first-tier sword is truly extraordinary... it even faintly glows with a golden luster."

"Fellow Daoist, your mid-grade sword must have cost you quite a few low-grade spirit stones."

The leader, a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining, suddenly changed the subject, his brows furrowing with arrogance.

"No, sorry... I misspoke just now. The first-grade mid-level sword under your feet is clearly mine."

After speaking, the leader, a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining, turned and looked to his side.

"You two come and take a look. Is that mid-grade first-tier magic weapon at their feet mine?"

The two cultivators standing next to the leader, a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining, immediately showed expressions of understanding.

They pretended to lower their heads, their gazes falling on the first-tier, mid-grade Gengjin Cold Iron swords that Xu Mo and Luo Lingyue were standing on.

After glancing at it, he shouted angrily:

"Fellow Daoist, how come our boss's mid-grade first-tier magic weapon is with you!"

"Fellow Daoist, you are born with a handsome appearance, yet you forgo legitimate business and insist on becoming a Tribulation Cultivator."

"That's right, that's right! They actually stole our boss's mid-grade first-tier magic weapon! They're utterly wicked and incredibly arrogant!"

The leader, a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining, nodded in satisfaction.

He looked at Xu Mo with a fierce glint in his eyes, and the veins on his palms bulged as if he were about to strike at any moment.
