First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 140: Preparation and Traveling Together

"I'm going! Why wouldn't I go?"

After understanding the situation, Shen Mo quickly agreed without hesitation.

The emergence of the Ghost Country ruins is such a rare opportunity.

In a while, either they will hide back into the Netherworld or be completely controlled by the Ghost Corpse Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect near the waterside pavilion.

By then, it is unknown where they will obtain the heavenly treasures that contain the extreme meaning of darkness.

Apart from allowing one of the sword embryos to transform, the current speed at which Shen Mo earns spirit stones cannot keep up with the consumption, which is a big problem.

It takes two hours to refine a furnace of second-grade spirit pills.

In one day and night, without sleep, he can only refine six furnaces.

If he focuses on refining top-grade pills, it is very likely that only one furnace will produce a high-quality spirit pill.

Of course, if the quality of the pills is not considered, the number of pills produced can be higher.

For ordinary cultivators, such alchemy skills can support the daily cultivation of a Spirit Sea Realm expert.

But Shen Mo is different.

He earns more and spends more!

Just by deducing and practicing martial arts techniques through "Yanwu," he consumes one hundred low-grade spirit stones every day and night!

In one month, that is an astonishing three thousand spirit stones.

There is also the "Big Dipper Seven Star Sword Formation," which requires every sword embryo to transform.

It requires seven heavenly treasures containing extreme meaning. Even if they appear in the auction, which one doesn't require a sky-high price to win?

Not to mention the "Dragon Elephant Blood Demon Body," which also requires purchasing a large number of demonic inner cores with spirit stones.

Recently, Shen Mo has made no progress in purchasing materials for second-grade spirit pills and the "Dragon Elephant Blood Demon Body."

In addition, the thousand-year python and dragon meat have been almost eaten by the spirit-hiding rats.

He has to spend money to buy the flesh and blood of second-rank demonic beasts, otherwise this little thing will not be able to improve its strength and may even starve to death.

One expense after another, one transaction after another.

If he doesn't come across a windfall, his strength improvement will be greatly affected.

Unless he is content with mediocrity and doesn't use "Yanwu," relying solely on his current alchemy and talisman skills, he can indeed live a comfortable life!

The two agreed to set off the next morning.

After seeing off Chen Mengze, Shen Mo began to prepare for the trip to the Ghost Country ruins.

Since they are close to the Ghost Corpse Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect, these two sects have the ability to expel other sect disciples, wandering cultivators, and evil cultivators who go to explore the treasures.

But they are not doing so now.

It is possible that the news has spread too widely, and there are many cultivators going in for training, so the two major sects do not want to provoke public anger.

There is also another possibility.

The Ghost Country ruins are too dangerous, and the Ghost Corpse Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect are waiting for others to act as cannon fodder to explore the ruins. When they have explored enough, they will seize the ruins.

In any case, the ruins, tombs, and secret realms are not good places.

They should be as prepared as possible.

Shen Mo has prepared various types of pills in advance.

At present, there is also some time pressure to refine more second-grade spirit pills.

Shen Mo simply took out a golden pen, beast blood, sandalwood ink, and other materials, and began to make second-grade talismans.

In certain situations, using talismans can often have unexpected effects.

Earth Prison Talisman, Wind Wall Talisman, Divine Movement Talisman...

Depending on the different needs, he made one to three talismans of each kind.

On the Destiny Panel, the proficiency and experience in related talismans have also increased.

When the refining is almost done, it is already dawn.

After a little thought, Shen Mo decided to use the 22 destiny points he recently obtained to try to promote the basic destiny.

Now, each time he extracts a special destiny, it costs 10 destiny points.

Shen Mo guessed that after drawing a certain number of times from the destiny pool, the points will continue to increase.

With 22 destiny points, he can draw two special destinies at most.

There is a high possibility of drawing gray or white destinies, and to make them useful, he needs to continue investing destiny points to promote them.

Greediness leads to no good.

Drawing many white special destinies is still not as good as one excellent blue destiny.

For now, Shen Mo feels that the ones he has are enough.

On the contrary, the improvement of the fundamental destiny has greatly helped him.

From having excellent aptitude to becoming a genius in cultivating immortality, Shen Mo felt the gap between them.

Both his cultivation speed and comprehension of battle techniques and immortal arts have greatly increased.

He opened his destiny chart.

[Master of Destiny: Shen Mo]

[Physical: Innate Martial Bone]

[Talent: Genius in Cultivating Immortality]

[Fate: Prosperous Fate]

[Appearance: Dignified]

[Intelligence: Quick-witted]

[Destiny: ???]

[Lifespan: ???]

Four green and one blue.

The attributes of destiny and lifespan remain the same.

After a moment of contemplation, Shen Mo decided to use 20 points of destiny to enhance his physique.

In terms of importance, every aspect of the fundamental destiny attribute is crucial.

However, since he was about to go to the Ghost Country ruins for training, the effect of improving his physique attribute would be more significant relatively!

[You have consumed 10 points of destiny in an attempt to elevate your physique to a new level, but failed.]

[You have consumed 10 points of destiny in an attempt to elevate your physique to a new level, but failed.]

Two pieces of feedback appeared before his eyes.

"Huh?"

Shen Mo's face turned bitter.

He had finally accumulated some destiny points, and now they were used up just like that. Even if he threw them into the water, at least he would hear a splash!

But this matter couldn't be rushed; he had to take it slowly!

With enough accumulated destiny points and promotion opportunities, he would eventually be able to ascend.

He decided not to use the remaining 2 points.

Apart from the rather mediocre Courageous (White) special destiny, whether it was the fundamental destiny or the special destiny, he didn't have enough points to promote them!

"I am no longer a newbie who trembles at the sight of a two-headed silver ring python."

"The Courageous special destiny, even if it is promoted to green quality, is not very useful to me."

"Unless it is promoted to blue, it might reveal other extraordinary abilities. Unfortunately, I don't have enough destiny points. I'll have to wait and see in the future!"

Everything was ready, only waiting for Chen Mengze.

...

The sun rose in the east, casting a brilliant glow.

After meeting at the mountain gate square, Chen Mengze stepped on her flying sword and flew towards the morning glow.

Under the backdrop of the splendid rays, her figure appeared dreamlike and ethereal in Shen Mo's eyes, with a hint of otherworldly charm that was not usually present.

Shen Mo shook his head, dismissing the unnecessary emotions from his mind.

Chen Mengze carried a blood feud and was solely focused on improving her own strength to seek revenge for her mother and the Chen clan.

Their ideals and visions were different.

What Shen Mo pursued was the path of immortality, the freedom and ease in both the universe and the world!

In all directions, between heaven and earth, all is the universe.

Throughout history, it has been the world.

In plain terms... go wherever you want to go, live as long as you want to live!

However, all of this is based on one's own formidable strength and higher levels of cultivation.

With a light laugh, Shen Mo waved his sleeve.

"Clang!"

The Dragon Sparrow Sword rose with his thoughts and landed in front of him, accompanied by a cheerful sword sound.

Then, Shen Mo stepped onto the Dragon Sparrow Sword, transforming into a dazzling sword light, chasing after Chen Mengze.

With the enhancement of the profound "Sword Spirit Technique," his speed of flying on the sword was not inferior to Chen Mengze, who was at the fifth level of Qi Gathering.
