Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

"Sigh... never mind then."

Lu You was a smart person, so he didn't ask any further questions.

Afterwards, Jiang Mo asked Lu You for paper and pen and wrote down a list of books, weapons, and mechanical tools, which he then discussed with Lu You.

"Excuse me for asking, Mr. Lu, do you have any channels to obtain these items?"

"Take the normal price. I'm willing to pay 20% above the market price. Please deliver the Sany door as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Lu You took the note, glanced at it casually, and readily agreed without hesitation:

"These things aren't worth much, Master Jiang. If you want them, I'll arrange for them to be delivered to you in half a month."

"As for the fee, I would never dare to accept it. You have come all this way to save me, and I would be too stingy and petty to be so concerned about such a great favor."

Seeing that he insisted on refusing, Jiang Mo had no choice but to give up, cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Alright, then thank you very much."

"polite."

The group chatted until very late before parting ways.

On the evening of the third day of the voyage, the ship returned safely to the mainland port, and the cargo was loaded, unloaded, and transported away.

Jiang Mo and Lu Jin did not stay at the dock, but went to the Lu family to meet with Lu Gong and Lu Xuan. They discussed in detail what they had encountered along the way and were told that the guard surnamed Xu had returned to the city a few days ago and was currently recuperating at the clinic.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Jiang. This old man is truly grateful."

Holding Jiang Mo's hand, Lu Gong muttered a lot. After this incident, their Lu family indeed owed the San Yi Sect a huge favor.

"You're too kind, it was just a small favor," Jiang Mo told the old man not to take it to heart.

That night, Lord Lu hosted another banquet to entertain Jiang Mo, Lu Jin, and celebrate Lu You's return. He drank several cups of fine wine, relieving his pent-up emotions and enjoying himself immensely.

After a satisfying meal, Lu Jin planned to take his martial uncle for a stroll in the streets. Just as they stepped out the door, they bumped into a familiar figure – it was Liu Deshui, who had recovered from his injuries and was traveling alone.

"Young Master Lu, it's been a long time. I've been waiting for you to come back these past few days."

Upon meeting, Liu Deshui went straight to the point, bowing politely and apologizing: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you and Master Zuo before, I'm truly ashamed."

"What's wrong, Brother Liu?"

Lu Jin frowned, surprised that this guy was still staying in the city after a week.

However, he was not a narrow-minded person. Since he said that the matter was over that day, he would not deliberately target him anymore.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to see you and explain what happened back then. My master told me everything during the days I was recuperating."

Liu Deshui stood rooted to the spot, his words revealing a sense of helplessness and regret.

"Oh? What is it, Brother Liu?" Lu Jin guessed some possibilities, but was not sure.

"Back then, we were both taking the Lower Academy exams. My personality wasn't suited to the Triple Rebirth stage, but Master Zuo still chose a suitable path for me, introducing me to my current mentor. He even kept it a secret, showing both me and my master the utmost respect..."

"But for many years, I have held a grudge and harbored resentment, which I am truly ashamed of."

Liu Deshui's eyes reddened as he solemnly apologized to Lu Jin, "I'm so sorry..."

"Now that you know, it's good to let it go, Brother Liu, there's no need to be sad."

"I...can't do it, because this is just too absurd..." Liu Deshui apologized to Lu Jin again.

"Stop, Brother Liu, let's stop here. I won't hold it against you, and I hope you will too, and move on as soon as possible."

Lu Jin patted Liu Deshui on the shoulder; a simple gesture, yet it spoke volumes.

"I hope we can meet again sometime, Brother Liu. I have to go out with my martial uncle for a while. Farewell."

"Young Master Lu... Goodbye."

Liu Deshui took a deep breath, feeling as if he had been freed from all pain. He waved goodbye and turned to leave.

"Walk slowly."

Lu Jin watched him leave, and even he himself did not expect that such a little episode would happen.

"Uncle-Master...what do you think?"

How can I see it?

Jiang Mo strolled leisurely down the street and said:

"This kid isn't a bad person, but he's very stubborn. He's held onto your and his senior brother's feelings for so many years over such a small matter, and he's been trying his best to prove himself. He's really ambitious."

"It's not exactly a flaw, but I tend to get stuck on things. When I encounter a crucial crossroads in my life, I get carried away and lose control, and I'm afraid I might end up going down a dead end."

Lu Jin hesitated, pondering her uncle's judgment, and subconsciously asked, "Are you certain that he is incapable of making the right choice?"

"It was just a casual remark, maybe it was just intuition? When I was traveling, I also met a lot of people with personality problems, and I got used to it after seeing so many."

"Huh? You can do that?" Lu Jin asked in confusion.

"Yes, people can be divided into good and evil, pure and impure. Many times it is useless for me to pass on these experiences to you. You need to experience them yourself to understand."

Jiang Mo didn't elaborate much, and quickly moved on from the topic.

He and Lu Jin strolled through the night market until late at night before returning to the Lu residence.

"Spend some time with your family at home. Remember to practice the Spirit-Breaking Spell. I'm going back to the mountain now."

"Uncle-Master, aren't you going to stay a few more days?" Lu Jin was taken aback, not expecting the separation to come so suddenly, and felt a little reluctant to part.

"No, I have other things to do."

"Little Lu Jin, remember to hire a photographer to come up the mountain later to take a group photo for everyone, and also buy some gifts for your senior brothers and uncles."

Lu Jin remembered all of Jiang Mo's instructions and said, "Okay, don't worry."

"Well then, Uncle-Master will take his leave first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Mo's body underwent a strange change. A faint glow covered his entire body, and in the next instant, in Lu Jin's sight, he shattered into countless particles and disappeared.

"Wow, amazing... What is this? I'll have to ask my martial uncle to teach me later." Lu Jin secretly plotted in his mind.

At the same time, a silvery light suddenly burst forth from the pool behind Sany Mountain, and a figure emerged from the water.

Soaked to the bone, Jiang Mo slowly walked ashore, muttering to himself, "Hmm... the effect is not bad."

Chapter 97 Daily Life of the Sect

Midnight, the hour of Chou (1-3 AM).

Behind the mountain, the pond and the trees rustled in the night wind, insects chirped, and animals foraged for food.

"boom!"

With a dull thud, a huge blue rock, weighing several tons, was moved by Jiang Mo and placed on the ground.

"call....."

Jiang Mo's Reverse Rebirth Triple Technique was not closed, and the True Law was slowly operating. He was about to knock on the mysterious door that stood on his path of cultivation and touch the taboo of creation.

Previously, Yuan Jingui's only son was transformed by him using true qi, his life form was changed, and he was sealed underground.

Now, what he wants to try is to transform inanimate objects into living things.

He was unwilling to try other beasts and animals, since they all possessed living souls. If they were refined into human form and left in the world, they would inevitably cause a lot of trouble. Moreover, he did not wish to personally destroy them after successfully refining them.

Therefore, refining inanimate objects is undoubtedly the best option.

"despair...."

Jiang Mo extended his slender, frosty-white right hand and pressed it against the surface of the blue rock, feeling its hardness and coolness.

"Wow——!"

The next instant, Jiang Mo, who was ready, directly used his true technique. A bright white light emanated from his palm, easily penetrating and decomposing the rock.

"Boom!!!"

In just a few seconds, the green rock shattered into sand and gravel scattered all over the ground, which, under Jiang Mo's control, then transformed into wisps of greenish-gray Qi.

Subsequently, this dense mass of Qi gradually changed, transforming into pure natural Qi under Jiang Mo's deliberate guidance, and then into 'Primordial Qi'.

Unlike the innate Qi of humans, the innate Qi of this giant rock, which has been silent in the mountains for hundreds of years, is bluish-green.

"Gurgle, gurgle..."

Jiang Mo controlled the Qi, analogous to the human body, and began to evolve the limbs and bones. The process went smoothly, and after about half an hour, Qingyan was completely refined into the shape of a human.

Its face was handsome and resolute, its eyes were cold and indifferent, its body was nearly 2 meters tall, its skin was warm, it had a life rhythm, and its internal organs were functioning normally, but its brain was empty, without any soul or consciousness.

“…”

Jiang Mo placed his hand on the stone figure's head, but no matter how much he stimulated it, it did not react at all. Apart from the change in shape, it was no different from before.

"Whoosh..."

A wisp of shimmering white flame, infused with a strand of Jiang Mo's consciousness, traveled along his fingertips, took root deep within the stone man's mind, and began to take control.

As expected, as Jiang Mo's thoughts came to mind, the stone figure moved and made corresponding movements according to his various ideas, although it was slightly stiff. In essence, he was controlling the stone figure, similar to those puppeteers who used strings to create puppets.

Driven by Jiang Mo, the stone man slowly assumed a stance, as if it truly possessed life, and began practicing its moves.

"boom!"

The force of the punch spread out, causing the leaves to tremble.

Its punches are slow but flawless, accurately mimicking Jiang Mo's nerve responses to perform various martial arts routines.

"If such a creation were to adapt to more conditions, it might very well become an external Dharma body?"

Jiang Mo multitasked, and the stone man's punches became increasingly fluid and graceful. The wisp of innate Qi fire mixed with consciousness that he dispersed also took root completely in the stone shell brain.

Now, Jiang Mo feels as if he is controlling two bodies, and even his field of vision is becoming increasingly wider.

Several hours later, just before dawn, Jiang Mo finished his cultivation, transformed the stone figure back into Qingyan, and withdrew the wisp of Qi fire.

.......

The next day, Jiang Mo returned to the sect and accompanied the disciples in their cultivation, guiding them on the path of circulating Qi and engaging in simple combat with them, stopping short of a full-blown duel.

In the vast courtyard of the Dao Palace, the younger disciples such as Chengzhen, Changqing, and Shuiyun, along with the older disciples, watched intently as two figures fought in front of them—Sichong and Jiang Mo.

"Junior brother, my old bones are about to fall apart."

Go easy on me.

Neither of them had any internal energy, and after less than thirty rounds of sparring, Si Chong was defeated.

The other disciples were also asked by Jiang Mo to come forward and be tested one by one. They all showed their weaknesses after about ten rounds and were captured because they could not hold out.

After a day of practice, each disciple made progress. Jiang Moxiu had returned to simplicity and became more and more unrestrained.

Within the Trinity Gate, regardless of whether he activates the Reverse Rebirth or not, he always appears to be the youngest.

As evening fell, Jiang Mo and Cheng Zhen sat together on the stone steps outside the door, gazing at the setting sun in the sky, feeling relaxed and happy.

"Uncle-Master..."

"How's your practice of the true techniques going?"

"Look, here you are."

Upon hearing the question, Chengzhen lowered his right hand and placed it on the stone steps between the two of them. Countless stone particles were splitting and trembling, and then suddenly healed in the next instant.

"Haven't you rested at all? Look at those dark circles under your eyes."

Jiang Mo smiled with satisfaction; Chengzhen's progress was even faster than he had expected.

"Uncle-Master, this disciple calls it 'When Qi is full, one does not crave food; when Qi is abundant, one does not crave sleep.'"

Chengzhen scratched his head with a cheerful smile, "However, I have indeed been cultivating too fast, without much rest. I need to solidify my foundation later."

"Oh? Did you make any progress last time you went down the mountain?"

Jiang Moting had high hopes for this junior apprentice; he was gentle on the outside but firm on the inside, and given time, he was the best candidate to succeed as the sect leader.

"Yes... Being trapped in a deadly situation and made so miserable by those demons, it would be a shame if they didn't learn a lesson."

Although his injuries have healed, Chengzhen still feels guilty whenever he thinks about the previous battle. He slowly said:

"Perhaps I have been lax in my practice in the past. I should work harder and strive to be a role model for my master and you on the path of cultivation."

"Alright, your senior uncle looks forward to you growing even faster."

Jiang Mo smiled calmly, his memories drifting back to many years ago.
