“What method?”
Qin Yuzhi looked at Li Mo as he raised a finger, looking very confident. She couldn’t help but show doubt; she was so smart, and couldn’t come up with any methods, yet this young man thought of one just by tapping his head?
This would make the Huan Shen Sect seem like it had no value.
Li Mo’s lips curled slightly: “I have something that once tasted, you can never forget for life… You will never be able to leave it…”
“But I can’t produce much of this on my own, I need Elder Xue’s help.”
“!”
Qin Yuzhi leaned back slightly.
Why did she suddenly feel that Little Li had grown devil horns on his head?
“Xiao Mo…”
“Cough, when discussing matters, you should use titles.”
“Mm, Sect Leader Li, those who often serve as Sect Leaders know.”
Qin Yuzhi’s expression turned serious:
“If the top beam isn’t straight, the bottom beam easily bends. You’re still young and may be too eager for success…”
“?”
“I know you’re a bit impatient, but first listen to me. Do you remember when I told you about the Wulin Hall? At that time, the hall leader was also a genius, until he came across a kind of drug…”
Li Mo blurted out: “Divine Power Powder?”
“How did you know?” Qin Yuzhi was stunned.
“Ah, actually, the Wulin Hall no longer exists. The Huanmo Sect now only has the Xueliantang.”
“???”
Headmaster Qin’s eyes were blank, almost drooling at the corners of her mouth.
After a moment of silence, her round face turned dejected.
She originally wanted to show off her achievements in managing the Divine Sect, such as banning banned drugs, but now she felt like she hadn’t accomplished anything.
Seeing her dispirited look, Li Mo comforted her: “Let’s start over, let’s work together to make the Wanxiang Xianzong bigger and stronger! Create new glory!”
“No,” Qin Yuzhi shook her head.
“Why not?”
“Can we do things that violate laws and regulations?”
“…”
Li Mo was both amused and exasperated.
It seems that nowadays, the people of the demon sect probably couldn’t even dream of their former headmaster being so law-abiding.
“That thing you eat every day, how is it related to breaking laws?”
“Hmm?”
“Taste enhancers, you eat them every meal, and you said you couldn’t eat in the South Border.”
Li Mo took out two small jars, each containing white and light yellow powders.
Qin Yuzhi opened the jars and tasted them, her eyes brightened, it was a familiar umami taste.
“So what you’re talking about is seasonings?”
“Yes, you said you can’t live without this stuff, so what’s the problem?”
“…Makes sense.” Qin Yuzhi found herself unable to refute.
Li Mo asked again: “By the way, Sect Leader Qin, can you recreate the taste of dishes in your dreams?”
“Hmm, you underestimate me too much. To bring an entire city into a dream feast, I only need to slightly intervene.”
Qin Yuzhi perked up again, full of vigor.
“Then leave the advertising to me! I’ll find Elder Xue to see if we can get the recipes for the taste enhancers.”
“Ad…vertising?”
After they finished talking, Li Mo got up and went to Danding Peak, to add these two seasonings to the tables of so many families in the South Border, other problems didn’t matter.
Anyway, he wasn’t short on money.
The important thing was the recipe. With the recipe, he wouldn’t have difficulty mass-producing them.
Emmmm…
But he himself couldn’t come up with the recipe, nor did he understand how fictional characters knew everything, schools didn’t teach this stuff either…
On Danding Peak, things progressed smoother than he imagined.

Elder Xue was not there, but he didn’t need to intervene. Little Treasure Senior Brother tasted a little and wrote down the ingredient list, even including the preparation method, which was simply like a testing instrument.
And Li Mo only paid a few lollipops.
…
On the other side.
In the Qingyuan Zong ancestral hall, Shangguan Wencang lowered his eyelids, sitting next to the Grand Elder. The Sect Master and the only Grand Elder of Qingyuan Sect both wore solemn expressions.
Well, he might not be the only Grand Elder now, but he might be the only reliable one…
“Little Bing, go try again.”
“When you broke through the seven orifices of Guan Shen, the Bronze Divine Tree emitted a buzzing sound.”
“It should be… related to you.”
Although this is just a fragment.
But it is a genuine celestial artifact.
Ying Bing lowered her gaze, looking at the ancient and intricately crafted Bronze Divine Tree, a familiar call arose within her.
The incomplete Heavenly Phoenix Domain lit up at this moment, connecting to the stars on the divine tree.
One after another divine consciousness seemed to hang on the branches of the divine tree.
At this moment, the light flowed, gathering into a picture before Ying Bing’s eyes. It was a vast starry sky, under which lay an endless ancient giant city, and a magnificent and imposing divine tree stood at the center of the city.
Its dark golden patterns were flowing, extending to unknown distances, providing power to all beings.
Its branches seemed to extend countless invisible chains, restraining unseen existences that existed somewhere.
The wind blew in the azure sky, the collision sound, was it from the chains or the leaves?
A complete Bronze Divine Tree!
Last time she communicated with the divine tree, she didn’t see this scene. What caused this change… was the Heavenly Phoenix Domain?
Not only the divine tree, but the two figures playing chess under the tree also appeared clearly.
One of them was Ying Huang.
Ying Huang’s appearance had changed compared to what she saw in the Jade Phoenix Divine, wearing a luxurious and mysterious black cloak, her face more profound than before, with long flowing hair scattered.
Her expression was calm, just like her move in the game.
The person holding the chess pieces wore a yellow robe, half-closed eyes, seemingly napping.
Ying Huang spoke: “Yun Meng, you won’t find the answer in this game even in your dreams.”
The yellow-robed man woke up as if by accident, reaching out to scatter the chess pieces.
“Hmm? Oh, sorry, I fell asleep thinking about it.”
“This is what you mean by winning or losing is not necessarily in the game itself, but sometimes outside it?”
The communication between Ying Huang and the Bronze Divine Tree was cut off, as if she had left a certain state, a gentle and soft expression reappeared on her face.
How could one describe this feeling?
If forced to say, she looked more like a ‘person’ now.
Yun Meng Xian was not embarrassed by being seen through: “How can a chessboard truly resemble the vast Nine Heavens and Ten Earths? By the way, don’t you have a Heavenly Phoenix Domain that gathers the consciousness of myriad beings?”
“Why don’t you use the lives of beings as chess pieces, display the game, and let me try?”
Obviously, Yun Meng Xian’s attempt failed.
Otherwise, later on, he wouldn’t have been trapped in the Heavenly Phoenix Domain by Qin Yuzhi, and even tearing it apart couldn’t free him.
After a while, Yun Meng Xian was released, sitting on the ground with a dejected expression:
“How can this game in the City of Divine Beings be more unsolvable than a chess game…”
But then he smiled again: “Like the peace of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, always continuing like your chess strategy, that’s not bad.”
Ying Huang shook her head: “There is one point you are correct. All beings are alive, but the chess is dead. Da Shang has been planning its end since the moment it was established.”
Yun Meng Xian muttered: “Are we… the same?”
“But dreams continue.”
Ying Huang’s gaze seemed to pierce through endless years, transcending time and space to see the latter.
She gently raised her finger, the broken Bronze Divine Tree burst forth like reborn charcoal fire, burning itself out, the divine consciousness of many birds standing on the branches disappeared like stars.
Fragments fell from the broken divine tree, as if reborn.
She smiled:
“May the one who holds this power not be controlled by it, and forge their own path.”
