Chapter 50 Mess

In the evening, Li Yanmo sat on a tree stump and meditated as usual. The experience in Risheng City that night had broken through his bottleneck. Li Yanmo could feel that as long as he worked harder, he would be able to break through to the seventh level of Qi training.

Just when Li Yanmo was concentrating on breaking through, a voice came from under the wooden stake.

"Master, why do you practice instead of sleeping?"

Li Yanmo looked down and saw Jian Xin, who was supposed to go to bed, standing under the wooden stake. He raised his head and stared at him with his crimson eyes, as clear as ever, like a mirror.

"Because Master must improve his cultivation," Li Yanmo put his hands on his knees and let out a long breath, remembering the big hand that fell from Xiangmo Venerable that night.

Despair, powerlessness to fight back, human life is worthless.

As the sect's combat force, Li Yanmo felt from the bottom of his heart that he had been too leisurely during this period and lacked a sense of crisis. He was just a small Qi training cultivator, and Jian Xin was only at the Qi training level. His cleverness and tricks were far less effective than his fists.

At least Venerable Xiangmo proved this.

If it weren't for the Fairy Sister's intervention, Venerable Wan Xiangmo would have been able to break the situation with his fists, refine everyone, and truly reach the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

"Then... why doesn't Master urge us to practice?" Jian Xin's eyes flickered with doubt.
"Boss, since you have become my disciples, I, as your master, must be responsible for your future and must not lead you astray."

Li Yanmo stretched out his hand and pointed towards the starry sky.

"Cultivating to become an immortal is the right path, but it's not the only path, and it's certainly not worth investing everything you have in it."

"I don't want you to look back and realize that your life was nothing but cultivation, with nothing worth remembering."

Jian Xin was slightly startled, and ripples appeared in his crimson eyes like lake water.

After hesitating for a moment, Jian Xin put his hands behind his back, kicked the stone away with his right foot, and turned his back to Li Yanmo.

"Master...have you ever thought about letting that fairy sister become the backer of our sect?"

Li Yanmo was stunned by Jian Xin's question.

No matter how advanced that fairy sister is, she can save thousands of ghosts with one sword, and she has the ability to use emotions to enter the Tao that astonished Dao Hai, Feng Shouyun and others. She must have a bright future.

This kind of soft rice is naturally delicious.

After thinking for a long time, Li Yanmo finally came up with an answer. "They say that the fairy sister entered the Tao through love. I don't know why she protects me, but I have to be worthy of her feelings."

Jian Xin raised his fingers and gently twisted the white hair by his ears, rolling back and forth on a stone with his right foot.

"Besides, I'm your master after all, and a man. I have to take the lead. How can I live off you? Wait until I'm strong enough!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yanmo felt that the saturated bottleneck was completely loosened, and the seventh vortex condensed in his dantian.

"Boss, look, I'm already at the seventh level of Qi training!"

Jian Xin was silent for a few seconds before cautiously probing, "Congratulations, Master, but I don't have much talent in cultivation..."

"It's okay, it's okay, the master is there!"

Seeing Li Yanmo patting his chest to make a promise, Jian Xin narrowed his eyes like crescent moons.

The next morning, Liu Wuchang, the leader of Qingshan Sect, brought a large number of account books to find Shen Ziqing, who was working hard to save spirit stones in the prefectural mansion.

Because the number of account books was too large, Shen Ziqing felt it would be more appropriate to count them in front of Li Yanmo.

Liu Wuchang also agreed with Li Yanmo's opinion. He also wanted to show Li Yanmo his sincerity and reliability, so that Li Yanmo would not think that the elders of Qingshan Sect were of the same tune as Mei Chai Shao.

The two hit it off immediately and came to the wooden house where Li Yanmo lived, but unfortunately Li Yanmo had already gone out and only Jian Xin was in the house.

"Big Sister, where did the master go?"

Shen Ziqing bowed respectfully to Jian Xin.

Liu Wuchang had long known from Mei Chai Shao that Jian Xin possessed the Cang Yao Sword Body, the supreme sacred body of the Great Wilderness period. Even Shen Ziqing, a mediocre talent, had managed to reach the third or fourth level of Qi Training simply by consuming spiritual fruits, while Jian Xin, his eldest disciple, was only at the first level. Under normal circumstances, Liu Wuchang would have felt regretful.

But after seeing the strange phenomenon of Li Yanmo's spiritual field, Liu Wuchang began to respect everything related to Li Yanmo.

So when facing Jian Xin, Liu Wuchang did not put on airs at all and bowed respectfully.

"Master went to Luoyang Town to look for the barefoot doctor named Jiang. He will be back soon."

Jian Xin nodded coldly and turned to leave.

This left Liu Wuchang somewhat bewildered, so Shen Ziqing explained, "Elder Sister has no ill intentions, she just has a rather cold personality."

"It's okay, I can see the reason too. Mr. Shen, why don't we look at the account book first."

Liu Wuchang naturally recognized that Jian Xin was born with a white disease, and coupled with his natural disability, it was already good enough that Jian Xin just had a cold personality.

"That's fine——"

Shen Ziqing and Liu Wuchang sat down on the spot and compared the old account books.

In Luoyang Town, after listening to Li Yanmo's description, Jiang Baili exhaled a long puff of smoke, glanced at Li Yanmo sideways, and said nothing, just looking at him, which made Li Yanmo feel uncomfortable all over.

"Why, you don't think I'm lying to you, do you?"

"Yes, especially the part about the infatuated fairy falling in love with me. I suspect your head was caught in the door."

Lily Jiang was about to hit Li Yanmo’s head with her cigarette.

Li Yanmo leaned back to avoid it, and said angrily, "I didn't say that. It was you who promised to help cover the damage?! How come there was no trace of me that night!"

“How are you sure I didn’t go?” Lily Jiang snorted coldly.

Li Yanmo was stunned, thinking that he had misunderstood Lily Jiang. When he was feeling guilty, Lily Jiang said leisurely, "But I really didn't go."

"Hey!"

"That's a demon in the pseudo-tribulation period, and I don't have that ability. When I was about to rescue your master and apprentice, that flower-crazy sword fairy made a move, but her speed was too fast, and she mobilized the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so I didn't help you confirm whether she had a good figure or not, or whether she was beautiful." Lily Jiang closed her right eye, "But you made a big move this time, and there was actually a fusion stage to help you move mountains and seas."

"I actually wanted to pay, but they refused to accept it," Li Yanmo sighed regretfully.

Asking someone in the fusion stage to take action, it wouldn't be too much to spend several million spirit stones, right?

But Mei Chai Shao went too far. He actually did things for free. His thinking was very problematic.

We have to find a way to get out.

"However, if you take over the Qingshan Sect, you will also be taking over the mess it has run."

"A mess?" Li Yanmo frowned.

"Qingshan Sect's title as the largest sect in Qianzhou doesn't just represent reputation, it also represents many substantial benefits brought by the Dao Sect."

Lily Jiang knocked on the table with her cigarette holder and said leisurely.

"The Great Yu Dynasty is wary of the Dao Sect and is attempting to sever the alliance of one million sects. The Dao Sect will naturally be on high alert and prepare appropriate measures to unite the millions of sects."

Lily Jiang emphasized the word "unity", and Li Yanmo naturally heard that there was something wrong.

"The Daoist sect encourages sects to merge with each other by setting up inspections and rewarding the largest sect. The Qingshan Sect's status as the largest sect in Qianzhou is very tempting to other sects in Qianzhou."

"This year's opening of the sect and the recruitment of disciples is the last chance for Qingshan Sect to preserve its assets and status."
