As Ice Chunk didn’t even know how to lose.
In the room.
Li Mo slightly polished what he had just copied, adding his summary at the end.
After completing this task, he looked at the paper, and the four words still echoed in his mind:
“Skill approaches the Dao.”
“For others, this might be a dead-end road with no visible endpoint.”
The gentle night breeze made the candlelight flicker in Li Mo’s pupils.
Having spent time with Little Princess Jiang and Ice Chunk, he deeply understood this.
Those destined by heaven all possess extraordinary talents, and they do not follow ordinary paths.
Ordinary paths are too long.
But for him, an ‘ordinary person,’ it was the only way out.
However.
Due to his martial arts insights, he could advance rapidly on this ordinary path, like riding a rocket.
“In the future, any additional martial arts insights will be invested in swordsmanship.”
Thoughts churned in Li Mo’s mind.
The hammer technique must be the main focus, there was no need to say more.
Apart from the hammer technique, there were also body techniques, mental techniques, and hardening techniques.
Only after reaching the pinnacle of these areas could he consider swordsmanship.
After all, the two heavenly beings beside him were prodigies in swordsmanship.
Not learning would be a waste.
Moreover, if he remained a novice in swordsmanship, it wouldn’t be good to interact with them.
“Speaking of martial arts insights,”
“How many do I have now?”
Li Mo checked.
Remaining martial arts insights: 71 years.
This was a lot for the hammer technique but too little for swordsmanship.
This was a story of both joy and sorrow.
After pondering for a moment,
Li Mo decided, “Let’s draw first.”
He had received rewards from investing in Little Princess Jiang and discussing with Ying Bing.
“I’m not a genius in swordsmanship; I’m just a truth carrier.”
Making a profit in between…
【Congratulations, Host, for discussing sword theory with ‘Ying Bing’ and summarizing her sword theory.]
【Investment feedback: 60 years of martial arts insights.]
【Congratulations, Host, for helping ‘Jiang Chulong’ recover her body and repair her foundation.]
【Investment feedback: one bottle of ten-thousand-year earth pulse spirit milk.]
[Ten-thousand-year earth pulse spirit milk]: “Consuming a drop can increase an ordinary person’s lifespan by twenty years, making them immune to poison and free from illness, while also greatly increasing their strength. It is material for making longevity elixirs and a holy substance for refining qi and bl**d.”
Ice Chunk really is Ice Chunk.
Martial arts insights burst forth for sixty years.
In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, many ordinary people don’t even live to sixty years old.
Little Princess Jiang did not disappoint him either.
The ten-thousand-year earth pulse spirit milk was something Li Mo had never heard of before.
Perhaps it appeared in the Eastern Wilderness, but it should be a rare treasure that rarely spread.
After all, things that extend life are usually kept by the person who gets them.
Which one is more precious?
Li Mo believes that according to the system’s definition, they are about the same.
Ying Bing’s heavenly fate level is higher, but the recent discussion actually helped her very little, it could only be considered slightly beneficial.
His medicinal investment could help Jiang Chulong recover her injuries and repair her foundation.
Ten-thousand-year earth pulse spirit milk…
“I’ve been worried about the slow speed of condensing meridians.”
“Ordinary earth pulse spirit milk has little effect on me.”
Li Mo didn’t expect this.
After the twenty-fourth meridian, condensing meridians was like hellishly difficult.
Even if he maintained a state of unity with nature every moment, the speed was as slow as a turtle’s crawl.
“If this Xuanpin Immortal Body appeared on someone else, it would be a bottomless pit.”
“It’s unknown how many years it would take to break through the Qi and bl**d realm.”
Li Mo opened the jade bottle, and the pure essence of the earth pulse hit his nose.
To avoid damaging the room,
he went out in the dark and arrived near the waterfall not far from Qiushui Pavilion.
First, he dug a bathtub-sized pool, filled it with water, and then poured a drop of ten-thousand-year earth pulse spirit milk into it.
Then he picked up the bottle.
Taste it lightly~
Anything from the system must be high-quality.
Ninety-nine percent, rare items~
Taking it both externally and internally, the subtle power quickly rose.
“I hope my Internal Breathing Realm lives up to this difficulty…”
Li Mo stepped into the pool.
…..
The next day.
In the realm seed.
“What is called the Way of the Sword does not go beyond three realms.”
“The first realm is sword techniques and sword methods…”
The Great Venerable was lecturing.
Jiang Chulong still wore those tattered rags, but they were clean now, and her face was free of mud.
She sat obediently at the table, her small hands clasped together, her gray eyes sparkling.
…..
Our Great Venerable excels at vivid storytelling.
Not only lecturing, but also presenting with sound and form-rich PPT.
“The second realm is having a sword in your heart, but none in your hand.”
“Having sword energy in your chest and sword intent in your heart, then aided by the great forces of heaven and earth, even a blade of grass can cut through sun, moon, and stars!”
His voice was awe-inspiring.
Gentle yet filled with boundless dominance!
“A blade of grass can cut through sun, moon, and stars?!”
Jiang Chulong’s mouth slightly opened.
Historical records show that among the three suns in the sky, two were transformed from the ancestors of the emperor of the Yu Dynasty, including the Founding Martial Emperor of the Great Yu.
They were all powerful figures who suppressed the current world and achieved invincibility.
Could they… be destroyed by a single blade of grass?
This… This is beyond her imagination.
“Hahaha…”
The teacher seemed to notice her surprise and smiled lightly.
With a casual gesture, a leaf came from nowhere and was held between his fingers.
A light flick.
Endless sword energy tore apart the sky.
Heaven-shaking sword intent shattered the galaxy.
Every bit of it swept away everything.
The sword intent, sword energy, and sword aura all reflected in Jiang Chulong’s gray eyes.
Including within her, even Li Mo hadn’t noticed.
Something inside her was growing wildly like wild grass…
“As for the third realm…”
…..
An incense stick later, the Great Venerable’s sword lecture ended.
“I believe you should understand with your comprehension.”
“Yes! Teacher, you’re so amazing…”
Jiang Chulong clapped her hands, her dirty little face full of admiration.
What she originally didn’t know how to call turned out to be sword energy, sword aura, and sword intent?
Grass and wood cutting stars?
Even she couldn’t imagine that these things could do such things!
But since the teacher said it could be done, it must be possible!
Now, it’s just that she is too weak, her understanding of the Way of the Sword is not deep enough…
…..
In Ziyang Mansion City.
“A blade of grass can cut through sun, moon, and stars!”
In the Mud Corner Alley.
Words with a faint yet domineering tone reverberated in her ears.
Jiang Chulong slowly woke up, the sword intent in her eyes seemed to still linger.
Her face was smeared with mud again, and her eyes were covered with rag strips.
Picking up a fallen branch, she began practicing in the courtyard.
She wanted to get stronger…
For her mother.
To not disappoint the teacher…
Swoosh—
Her frail arm held the gnarled branch, but her face was serious, making others think she was just a beggar playing around.
And.
The weeds and leaves in the dilapidated courtyard started moving without wind.
…..
In Qingyuan Sect.
Li Mo couldn’t help but ponder when he saw the newly awarded martial arts reward from the system.
“Emmmmmm…”
“What did she discover this time?”
“Would asking make me seem less impressive compared to the Primordial Celestial Venerable?”
“Mmm, I’ll say it’s a test next time.”
Li Mo praised himself again for his cleverness.
Being a middleman isn’t easy.
Look, Little Jiang’s host has asked another question… filling three pages.
Just as Li Mo was looking for Ice Chunk in the courtyard,
a woman’s head appeared over the wall of Qiushui Pavilion, cautiously peering inside.
“Master?”
Who else could it be besides Shang Wu?
“My precious disciple, you’re here? Good thing you met me first.”
“Why are you still standing there? Don’t you care about your life?”
Shang Wu lowered her voice, her almond eyes full of vigilance.
“Huh?”
Li Mo was confused.
“There’s no time to explain, Little Ice Girl has recently become obsessed with cooking!”
“Come with me, quick!”
Shang Wu was extremely serious.
Li Mo: “…”
Guess when I got here?
I thought where’s Master these past few days.
So the saying goes, every object has its countermeasure.
Even a fearless master has moments of caution.
