Chapter 931: Trouble Occurs

Hearing this, Chen Mo was not surprised.

Both Yunxi and Yuxi possess the Orange Body, while Xin’Er and the others only have the Purple Body. The level difference naturally results in slower cultivation speed.

Chen Mo lifted Nangong Yue’s beautiful leg, placed it on… and then said, “What about Zining, Ziqing, and Zixi?”

“Hiss…” Nangong Yue, who was in the middle of competing, took a deep breath. Nangong Yue felt the same, her cheeks blushing, her eyes somewhat dazed. The two women, feeling unnatural, naturally didn’t respond.

Jiang Ruoqing rolled her eyes at Chen Mo, saying, “Zining has improved rapidly and is already in the Late Stage Foundation Establishment. Ziqing and Zixi are still at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.”

“Zining has an Immortal Body and is already ten years old this year. When he was five, I had Sister Yiren use many natural treasures to build his foundation, refine his tendons, and even used a Quasi-Saint Medicine. His foundation is much better than mine, so reaching Late Stage Foundation Establishment in five years and being made a Direct Disciple by the Sect is quite normal.” Chen Mo said.

Chen Zining is the son of him and Zhao Jiangning.

Jiang Ruoqing nodded: “Xin’Er and the others even said that in the next Daoist Alliance assessment, Zining might join Yunxi and Yuxi.”

“No need for that. In the next Daoist Alliance assessment, he will be only fifteen years old, still too young. Let him train more, cultivate his temperament, and after a few more assessments, let him participate again.” After some consideration, Chen Mo said.

A fifteen-year-old in the Golden Core Realm with an Immortal Body.

If he participated in the Daoist Alliance assessment, with his status as my son.

He would certainly gain immense fame.

But such fame wouldn’t be a good thing.

After all, I have many enemies, and if they know I have such an outstanding son, they would undoubtedly harbor malicious intentions.

At that time, he would be pushed into the spotlight.

At fifteen, he would also be in an impulsive age.

People at this age find it hard to listen to advice and are often rebellious.

I didn’t even raise him from childhood.

Once he’s in the spotlight, who knows what trouble he might cause for me.

Anyway, the Daoist Alliance assessment can be taken before the age of a hundred.

He can participate when he’s around thirty or forty, and it won’t be too late.

“I… I think so too.” Jiang Ruoqing’s face was slightly flushed at this moment because Chen Mo released her embrace and instead held one of her jade-like feet in his hands, fondling it fondly.

Before Chen Mo came to Primordial Heaven, Jiang Ruoqing’s jade-like feet were the most beautiful among Chen Mo’s women. Even after arriving in Primordial Heaven, only Zuoqiu Yiren and Su Mengyan could compare.

Chen Mo teased, “Why are your women’s feet so petite?”

“Isn’t this exactly to your liking?” Jiang Ruoqing couldn’t stand Chen Mo holding her foot and playfully squeezing it, especially since he was still competing with Nangong Yue, her voice trembling slightly, “After all, you men all like women’s feet to be petite.”

“Well… that’s true.”

Chen Mo smiled and acknowledged this.

Feeling unable to endure the kneading any longer, Jiang Ruoqing saw that Nangong Yue was about to lose, hurriedly pulled her away, and it was her turn to go on.

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow; it had only been a few years since he last saw Ruoqing so proactive.

…

Happy times always pass quickly.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the women to enter the Daoist Alliance.

Just like when Zuoqiu Yiren took Chen Mo around the Daoist Alliance and introduced various places, Chen Mo also wandered around the Daoist Alliance with the three women, then settled them in his abode.

This even drew a slight discontent from Zuoqiu Yiren, wondering if Chen Mo still had the mind to cultivate like this.

At that time, Chen Mo hadn’t completely won over Zuoqiu Yiren, so naturally, he had to appease her, saying, “How about this, Xiao Jiu has already returned to the Spirit Fox Race, and her abode is still empty. Her Disciple Token is with me; you can stay in her abode.”

Anyway, the two abodes were not far from each other; if Chen Mo wanted to, he could go to Xiao Jiu’s abode to find the three women, having little impact and appeasing Sister Yiren.

…

Time flies without notice during cultivation.

Quickly, two months passed by.

During these two months, Chen Mo diligently cultivated.

During the day, he cultivated in his abode; at night, he went to Xiao Jiu’s abode and cultivated with Jiang Ruoqing, Nangong Xue, and Nangong Yue. Occasionally, he would seek out Ice Spirit to ask about cultivation and Dao.

Of course, during these two months, Chen Mo simulated every day and chose ten days of cultivation experience.

Therefore, though it was only two months, it was equivalent to twenty months of cultivation for Chen Mo.

Additionally, elixirs refined from the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Flower were ready, and Chen Mo immediately went to exchange them with the disciples possessing these elixirs.

Surprisingly, the exchange went exceedingly well, and Chen Mo easily swapped for an elixir made from the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Medicine.

For those core disciples in possession of elixirs made from the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Flower, Chen Mo was regarded as having a Three Immortal Body with limitless potential for the future. Now that Chen Mo wanted to exchange, they were all willing to do him this favor and build a good relationship with Chen Mo.

After all, although these Antitoxic Pills were precious, they weren’t the rarest of treasures and could be substituted with other Antitoxic Pills.

When he took the elixir refined from the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Medicine to find Zhou Qiqi, the latter declined it.

This dumbfounded Chen Mo.

“Why don’t you want it, Junior Sister Zhou? The effect of this elixir is better than that of the single Heaven-Reaching Spirit Flower,” Chen Mo inquired in confusion.

Zhou Qiqi was straightforward and spoke her mind directly.

It turns out the elixir, although refined from the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Medicine, uses the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Medicine as its main ingredient. During the refining process, the alchemist would add other ingredients to enhance the antitoxic effect.

But the toxin in Zhou Qiqi’s body required the combined use of Ice and Snow Poison-Eating Grass, Spirit Immortal Mushroom, and Heaven-Reaching Spirit Flower. If refined into an elixir, it would be less pure and might even have the opposite effect.

Chen Mo: “…”

So this Antitoxic Pill was a waste…

My own cleverness has backfired on me.

“Since it’s only the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Flower that’s needed, Junior Sister Zhou might have to wait a bit longer.” Currently in the Daoist Alliance, only Mu Qianqian possesses the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Flower, and she is still in seclusion, not knowing how long it will take.

“Maybe it’s… fine.” Zhou Qiqi, seeing that Chen Mo wasted an Antitoxic Pill, felt slightly embarrassed as well.

She could imagine that Chen Mo must have paid a great price for this Antitoxic Pill.

“It’s fine. Since I promised you, I naturally have to keep my word. It’s just that you’ve been waiting for a while, and I’m quite sorry for that,” Chen Mo said.

Zhou Qiqi nodded, her voice hoarse, “Then… can I leave now?”

“Of course you can.”

…

Time flew, and another three months passed.

Mu Qianqian still hadn’t come out of seclusion.

But in a simulation, Chen Mo received a useful piece of information.

On the tenth day of the simulation, the contents revealed that when Yue Yuxi went out to complete a Sect mission, she was captured by the Demon Sect.
