The Black Water Marsh was perpetually shrouded in continuous rain, and today was no exception.
Pavilions and terraces were veiled by rain curtains and beaded curtains, creating a hazy scene, with ripples spreading across the lake.
In one of the courtyards, ripples spread across a water tank, reflecting the face of the young man who had recently risen to prominence among the Ming Jiao Clan of the South Border. Beside him stood his body, which emitted a dark luster.
“The Three-Spirit Ginseng is finished.”
“The Spirit Tiger Bone-Strengthening Medicine… yes, that’s finished too.”
Li Mo looked at the empty jade bottles and boxes in the system space and sighed silently.
He had basically exhausted all the rare treasures for body refinement from the Yunzhou Tongheng Trading Company.
To be honest, the quality of the items from the Tongheng Trading Company was quite good.
Well… provided they weren’t compared to what was obtained from the Ice Chunk.
Forget the Ice Chunk, even the feedback from Little Jiang was far superior.
Thus, Little Li could only compensate with quantity instead of quality.
This led to immense consumption.
Moreover, reaching the realm of transformation from perfection to the realm of transformation for martial arts techniques at the Absolute Level required more hard work than ever before.
The progress in observing divine intent also slowed down significantly.
Little Li originally planned to make significant strides before competing for the Celestial Divine Jade.
Currently, his progress was not ideal.
His progress was equivalent to that of an ordinary person who was wealthy and talented but unremarkable.
By the way.
Recently, he received many gifts, but there were very few he could actually use…
Dong-dong—
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Upon opening it, he saw a clam clan girl holding a pearl standing there; this pearl was obviously larger than the previous ones.
Zhen Bàng’s face turned red.
“Wu Mo, this is for you!”
“The quality of this pearl is quite good.”
Li Mo nodded and was about to take out some gold from the system space to exchange.
But then Zhen Bàng said with her head lowered:
“This one doesn’t cost anything; the elders in my clan asked me to bring it over as a gift to you… as a betrothal gift…”
“…”
Little Li almost dropped the pearl on the ground.
This wasn’t the first time.
As everyone knows, the Monster Clan values bloodline; the stronger the bloodline, the more outstanding the offspring.
Therefore, as a newly emerged Tian Jiao of the Ming Jiao Clan, Little Li Ming Jiao was extremely popular.
“Surely, we can produce ten excellent dragon-clam hybrids!”
“Wait, I’m quite satisfied with this treasure pearl, but…”
“Yes! Lord Wu Mo said he is very satisfied with me!”
“Can you let me finish? I come from outside the South Border, I am a traditional dragon, we don’t have a foundation of emotions…”
Despite great effort, Li Mo wasn’t sure if she understood his meaning.
Zhen Bàng really didn’t understand.
In the Monster Clan’s understanding, as long as the bloodline was strong and the gift was satisfactory, it meant agreement to mate.
Emotional foundation? What’s that?
So after all that, Zhen Bàng only remembered one thing:
“Lord Wu Mo said he is very satisfied with me!”
She blushed and ran away.
Li Mo: “Σ( °△°|||)︴”
Only what you want to hear, is that also your bloodline power?
Are you doing this on purpose or by accident?
Looking at the pile of gifts in the room, Li Mo sighed and took out the Wukong Seeking Dao Map to observe divine intent.
In the afternoon.
The door was knocked again, this time by the Murong Xiao family of three.
Initially, when Li Mo brought Murong Xiao to meet Murong Feng and Wu Qing, an unexpected event occurred.
This couple, who had always been urged by their clan to have a second child, were surprised by Murong Xiao’s arrival.
They were not the ones who sent the message to bring Murong Xiao to the South Border.
Adding to the unusual circumstances, the rebels did not flee deeper into the South Border as expected but instead captured Murong Xiao…

Little Ke felt something fishy was going on.
This was also why he had been striving to improve himself every moment recently.
Although there was no direct evidence, there seemed to be signs of the Huanmo Sect in the South Border, making this trip to the Floating Temple likely not peaceful.
The family of three clearly exchanged pleasantries and lingered for a while.
“If it weren’t for you, we might not have seen Xiao’er for a long time.”
Wu Qing’s eyes were red, having learned of Murong Xiao’s encounter along the way, and even the Great Demon couldn’t help but shed tears.
But she didn’t know that the Tian Jiao before her was actually human.
“I’m coming to the South Border just to travel with Brother Murong.”
Ke Mo smiled awkwardly.
He still wanted Murong Xiao to return to the Qingyuan Sect with Brother Murong.
“Thank you.”
Murong Feng also bowed.
“It’s nothing; I’ve admired your father for a long time.”
“Do you know me? Although I made a name for myself when I was young, that was so long ago…”
Murong Feng didn’t quite understand where this admiration came from.
Perhaps it was just polite talk?
“Oh, I’m happy Xiao’er is back, but… Xiao’er is half-demon,” Murong Feng sighed with a complex expression.
Ke Mo pondered.
That’s not right.
Half-demons should be better off within the Ming Jiao Clan, and the Monster Clan doesn’t discriminate against them but rather admires their powerful strength.
But listening to Murong Feng, it seems Murong Xiao is safer among humans?
“Being able to learn Buddhism is also Xiao’er’s fortune.”
Wu Qing looked at her son’s bald head and the jade Buddha in his hand, feeling somewhat relieved.
The couple had concerns.
But perhaps they thought these weren’t matters for the young to worry about, so they didn’t say much.
Besides, this wasn’t a recent occurrence.
The Heavenly Eye of the Gods isn’t mind-reading; it can’t know what others are thinking.
“Fortunately, Little Wu Mo and the others are also heading to the Floating Temple, so we can follow along.”
“When do we set off?”
“Of course today; otherwise, why would I notify you?”
The Ming Jiao Clan’s style was straightforward and decisive; if they decided to go, they went immediately, which explained why they were often described as impatient.
That day, including Wu Daming, the other four geniuses of the Water Clan were already waiting by the lake.
The Floating Temple was far from the Black Water Marsh, located at the westernmost part of the South Border, but there was a waterway available.
A huge fish bone ship was docked at the shore.
“Our Water Clan hasn’t competed for the Celestial Divine Jade for many years.”
“This time, the Bird Clan is showing great momentum; the Da Peng Clan has Ban Duo Luo, a half-demon with a powerful bloodline and human martial arts skills. Do you have confidence if you encounter him?”
The other four demons looked at the teenager examining the fish bone ship not far away.
Without hesitation, they all nodded.
“Yes!”
“Mm-hmm, and the Qingluan Clan has produced a Qingluan Divine Maiden who has slain many vicious disaster beasts. Her strength is even more terrifying than Ban Duo Luo. Do you have confidence?”
The four demons within Wu Daming were stunned.
They pondered for a long time.
But suddenly, they remembered that Tian Jiao Wu Mo had once said:
“Just a slight intervention would be enough to make the Qingluan Divine Maiden unable to resist!
“Yes!”
“Big Brother Wu Mo has the talent of a Tian Jiao!”
“They have the Qingluan Divine Maiden, and we have a Tian Jiao to hold the fort. What is there to fear?”
“The time for our Water Clan to rise up is coming! It’s unknown what kind of struggle between dragons and phoenixes will unfold then.”
All the Water Clan members were very confident.
“Hmm?”
Ke Mo turned around in confusion, regretting his words after a moment of reflection.
If he had known, he would have been more restrained.
Suddenly becoming the hope of the Water Clan was quite daunting.
