Under the flickering lights.
A green pill, contained in a jade box, appeared, similarly sealed by the system to prevent any divine anomaly from leaking out.
The pill was no larger than a thumbnail, resembling a lotus seed freshly plucked from its pod, vividly green.
[Life-prolonging Pill]: “A supreme treasure pill, condensed over a thousand years using the Longevity Seed Technique, containing a trace of the Longevity Path. It can forcibly enhance the life wheel of the person who consumes it, extending their lifespan by sixty years. Only one can be consumed.”
As everyone knows, Little Li is a bit of a prodigy when it comes to alchemy.
Thus, another alchemy master, Elder Xue, often regrets not expelling a disciple to allow Little Li to explore the path of alchemy.
Perhaps feeling it was a pity, Elder Xue frequently indirectly imparts knowledge about alchemy to him.
For example, the Seed Technique.
“This is the first time I’ve seen a pill made with the Seed Technique.”
Li Mo’s eyes lit up with excitement.
The so-called Seed Technique, as the name suggests, allows pills to grow like plants, except these pills do not grow in soil but in specially treated rare treasures.
This method produces high-quality pills, but it’s time-consuming and labor-intensive. Some pills cannot come into contact with fire and can only be made this way.
Such as the Life-prolonging Pill.
“A thousand years of refinement, and the person would have long passed away before the pill is even ready.”
Li Mo shook his head; although he could not obtain this item, he knew its value.
It forcibly enhances the life wheel!
Ordinary longevity elixirs merely compensate for the breath of the consumer, offering no help to those truly approaching their end.
But this Life-prolonging Pill means that even if you go to see the King of Hell, he would be confused, poring over the Book of Life and d*ath for three days and nights.
Li Mo put it away and continued checking.
[Congratulations Host, investing in Su Shen, saving him from the destruction of the city and the subsequent loss of home and family.]
[Investment Feedback: Su Family’s Ancestral Dumpling Filling Recipe.]
[Congratulations Host, investing in Qing Hao, saving him from the destruction of the city and the subsequent loss of home and family.]
[Investment Feedback: Horse Appraisal Technique.]
…
Scrolling through these high-fate investment feedbacks, Li Mo became increasingly certain of his guess.
The feedback from investments is related to both the host and the invested individual’s realms.
He did not know about golden and red fates, but blue fates were like this: the greater the difference in realms, the larger the reward disparity.
White and gray fates would not provide martial arts insights even if they saved lives.
As he clicked, Li Mo started to feel drowsy.
But the next second, his sleepy eyes widened.
[Congratulations Host, investing in ‘Ying Bing’, solving her worries once and for all.]
[Investment Feedback: Heavenly Return Mirror.]
[Heavenly Return Mirror]: “Can project the true spirit imprinted on the Observing God Diagram or in various forms, making them reappear in reality. Those vanished heroes and names in history books will become your opponents.”
“Heroic spirit of the world, forging an invincible heart!”
“Note: This mirror requires the power of the masses to activate.”
Li Mo couldn’t help but tremble, his hair standing on end.
In other words, he could use this mirror to directly confront the beings within the Observing God Diagram?
When he observed the Great Sage’s divine form during the chaos at Lingxiao, he vaguely understood the way to comprehend that great path.
Even the Monkey King’s method of observation was so fresh and unconventional, not just sitting and copying.
One word: Fight!
Thus, the first divine ability he comprehended was [Heavenly Battle Intent]. It was more like the fundamental method of observing this great path, and the ladder to truly mastering those divine abilities.
But where could he find so many opponents?
Little Li hadn’t found a solution to this problem yet.
Like the feedback from Ice Chunk brought an answer.
Into the Observing God Diagram, into the annals of history!
…
“Which means, as long as there’s enough power of the masses, I can fight with Big Ice Chunk?”
“Or… even spar with the Monkey King?”
Ke Mo’s wound started bleeding again after he bandaged it.
Excitement stirred his bl**d.
There was nothing more effective in honing battle intent than sparring with the Monkey King himself.
After a moment, he calmed down and fell into deep thought.
Where could he get the power of the masses?
From what he had learned from Ice Chunk, including his own experience, this thing could not be used lightly, requiring utmost caution.
What should he do?
With doubts in mind, Little Ke entered his dream.
Faintly, he seemed to hear many people talking.
“Grandpa! I told you, our eldest brother is a hero of the ages, the prodigy on the Qianlong List, wasn’t he? You didn’t believe me.”
“Mom, do people in the Central Plains have to eat dumplings when winter comes?”
“Not bragging, when we fought our way out of the city with Young Hero Ke, it didn’t seem so back then, but now I shiver just thinking about it.”
“Old Zhao and I were sworn brothers, he died in the chaos, his mother and two kids, we must take care of them.”
“We all know how the military rations are, all paid by Young Hero Ke…”
“…”
Murmurs echoed in the hazy darkness.
Ke Mo saw strands of pure white threads, one by one, coming from all directions, bringing the murmurs but not disappearing.
It was the power of the masses.
Yet, deep down, the warning from Ice Chunk resurfaced, her expression serious.
Relying on the power of the masses, taking one step forward, there’s no turning back.
Following advice leads to a full belly, Little Ke has always been good at listening and never acts recklessly.
Thus, he instinctively abandoned the thought of absorbing them.
…
The next morning.
The snow from the previous night had stopped, covering the vast Green Wood Camp in white, but the Three Great Suns failed to break through the clouds.
Ke Mo felt sore all over as he tried to lift his arm and make a fist, finding it difficult to exert force. He could move, but he couldn’t grip tightly.
Recovered, but not fully recovered.
But he could manage to unzip his pants when needed.
Ke Mo was thirsty and wanted to pour some water, when footsteps came from outside.
He quickly lay back down.
“Ouch, why is my hand still weak… If someone could feed me some water right now, that would be great.”
The best actor doesn’t need further proof of skill.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t Ice Chunk.
“Brother Ke, let me feed you.”
Huang Donglai, without suspicion, hurriedly poured some water.
“No need, I’m self-reliant, drinking water doesn’t require anyone’s help.”
“But Brother Ke, aren’t you unable to move your arm?”
“Oh, it’s just my constitution, it’ll recover after a while.”
???
Huang Donglai came to ask Ke Mo if he wanted to attend the celebration banquet. The people of Green Wood Camp were celebrating both the great victory and their survival after the calamity. Commander Qu suggested combining the celebration with the Winter Solstice.
Ke Mo nodded, but then felt something was off.
Right.
What about Commander Qu’s investment feedback?
That commander, who took command in a crisis and rose to the rank of god-general, was a genuine light purple fate.
