First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 181: Diligent Cultivation

Just as Shen Mo left the Fang Market in Jiyun Town, he noticed more than ten figures trailing behind him.

Their strengths varied, ranging from the early to late stages of the Qi Gathering Realm.

This surprised him.

The first person to approach him was not the powerful Linghai Realm expert, Lou Feng.

"The Supreme Flying Sword, Demon-Slaying Sword, and Golden Thunder Evil Bead combined have a value of ten thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

"Many Qi Gathering Realm cultivators wouldn't be able to accumulate such wealth even after ten years."

"And yet, I am only a Triple Qi Gathering Realm cultivator. No wonder so many people are tempted."

"In their eyes, I must look like a three-year-old child playing with gold, foolish and ostentatious!"

"Hmph! Since you've come to me, don't blame me for taking back what's rightfully mine..."

Just as Shen Mo was about to summon his Soul Refining Banner, he immediately retracted it.

In his field of vision with his Flawless Eye, he saw Lou Feng, a powerful Linghai Realm cultivator, flying towards him at high speed.

"You're lucky!"

Shen Mo snorted coldly.

He turned onto a hidden path in the forest, quickly restoring his appearance and figure.

He changed into the standard robe of an Inner Disciple of the Linjiang Sect.

Then, he summoned a low-grade flying sword.

Riding the sword, he flew towards the sect's gate.

Suddenly losing the aura of a "fat sheep," the group of Qi Gathering Realm cultivators quickly became disoriented.

Some of them left the group and went their own way.

Some were unwilling and caught hold of a passing cultivator, wanting to inquire about something.

Others targeted Shen Mo, who had resumed his identity as an Inner Disciple of the Linjiang Sect, wanting to intercept him and question him.

However, even though he was riding a low-grade flying sword, Shen Mo's speed far exceeded that of an ordinary person.

In an instant, he left this group of people behind, turning into a small dot and disappearing among the mist and clouds of the mountains.

Apart from this group of Qi Gathering Realm cultivators, Lou Feng, who had a powerful spiritual sense, did not recognize that Shen Mo was the auction participant with a face full of flesh.

He could only curse his bad luck and reluctantly return to the market to continue searching for other gold-based spiritual materials.

Once he returned to the sect, Shen Mo immediately closed himself in his cave once again.

There were still many things to do!

He needed to refine the Profound Grade Superior Demon-Slaying Sword.

He needed to melt the Golden Thunder Evil Beads and fuse them into a Beidou Sword Embryo, allowing it to transform and advance into a Heavenly Pivot Dao Sword.

He needed to continue cultivating and improve the proficiency of various immortal techniques and combat skills.

The stagnant "Divine Soul Contemplation Scripture" also needed to be figured out.

He also needed to refine a batch of high-quality pills and talismans to be sent to the shopkeeper in the name of Moshen.

He needed to replenish all the pills and talismans he had consumed.

...

Time passed quickly, without distinction between day and night.

To others, the days of arduous cultivation might seem dull and boring.

But for Shen Mo, there was a joy that others couldn't understand.

The Demon-Slaying Sword had been refined.

Another Beidou Sword Embryo successfully transformed into a Profound Grade Intermediate Dao Sword.

Due to the large number of Golden Thunder Evil Beads, the aura of the Heavenly Pivot Sword was stronger than that of the Heavenly Axis Sword. With two more Golden Thunder Evil Beads, it would be able to advance to the Profound Grade Superior level.

All the consumed pills and talismans had been replenished.

Only the "Divine Soul Contemplation Scripture" had made no progress, which made Shen Mo somewhat frustrated.

He even considered changing to another divine soul technique.

Fortunately, with his unwavering diligence, he had made some progress.

Perhaps in the near future, he would be able to successfully contemplate the "Fiery Sun" soul form.

In addition, with abundant spirit stone consumption, the Heavenly Destiny [War] continued to operate without interruption.

On the panel.

The cultivation techniques that he focused on were rapidly improving.

With the deepening of the "Purple Mansion Heart Sutra" and the "Three Heads and Six Arms True Immortal Art," Shen Mo's Triple Qi Gathering Realm cultivation realm became stable, and his physical body became stronger day by day.

The advancement of the three secondary professions was not neglected either.

[Master: Shen Mo]

【Cultivation: Triple Qi Gathering Realm】

【Talisman Dao: Second Grade (2320/3000)】

【Pill Dao: Second Grade (2905/3000)】

【Forging Dao: Second Grade (1470/3000)】

Compared to Talisman Dao and Pill Dao, Shen Mo's path of forging is unable to make significant progress in the short term.

Unless he is willing to spend a huge amount of energy and time to create an identity as a master blacksmith, repairing and refining artifacts for others.

Shen Mo is not considering this approach at the moment!

As for refining standard artifacts, it takes a lot of time and effort and doesn't earn much spiritual stones.

The improvement in the path of forging is also very limited.

The experience gained from refining the same type of artifact is too little.

Even his best secondary profession, Pill Dao, is facing a slow progress dilemma.

There is no other reason.

He has reached full proficiency in all second-grade elixirs.

【Small Peiyuan Pill: Peak (MAX)】

【Qi Gathering Pill: Peak (MAX)】

...

【Harmonizing Pill: Peak (MAX)】

【Soul Nurturing Pill: Peak (MAX)】

【Demon Subduing Pill: Peak (MAX)】

【Great Peiyuan Pill: Peak (MAX)】

【Dragon Power Pill: Peak (MAX)】

【Sweet Rain Pill: Peak (MAX)】

【Evil-Dispelling Source Pill: Proficient (90/500)】

Except for the third-grade Evil-Dispelling Source Pill, there are very few elixirs that can provide pill dao experience.

"It's about time to go to the Pill Tower and take advantage of the Pill Dao Alliance."

"I can brush up on the records of refining four types of elixirs."

"If I can obtain a third-grade pill formula, it can also save me some spiritual stone expenses."

With these thoughts in mind, Shen Mo stretched his muscles and walked out of the cave.

He arrived at the Pill Domain, familiar with the route.

He found a secluded place and used the "Three Heads and Six Arms True Immortal Technique" to change his appearance.

His figure became slightly thinner than before.

His face also underwent changes.

Due to his cultivation level and the practice of two major body cultivation techniques, as well as the influence of basic destiny...

Shen Mo's appearance now looks more like someone in their early twenties, slightly younger than his actual age.

Through immortal techniques, he adjusted his facial bones, flesh, skin, etc., making him look slightly older.

But not excessively old.

After all, the Pill Tower is used to cultivate pill dao geniuses.

The achievements recorded on the pill stele are those of pill masters under the age of thirty.

If he changes into the appearance of a sixty or seventy-year-old pill master, he might attract attention and suspicion as soon as he approaches the Pill Tower.

Looking less than thirty is just right!

His spirit pet bag, spatial bag, identity jade pendant, and other items were all hidden.

He put on a plain white pill master robe.

In an instant, a stranger in his late twenties appeared in his original spot.

"Not bad. From now on, I'll use this appearance as Mo Shen's disguise."

Shen Mo looked around and took advantage of the sparse crowd to walk towards the Pill Tower.

"Senior brother, are you here to break the record on the pill stele?"

Before Shen Mo entered the Pill Tower, a chubby disciple who had just reached the Triple Qi Gathering Realm caught up with him and greeted him with a smile.

"Junior brother, what are you doing? I've never heard that there are welcoming cultivators outside the Pill Tower!"

Shen Mo didn't want to pay attention to him, but before entering the Pill Tower, he caught a glimpse of the chubby cultivator taking out a jade slip and recording something.

He changed his mind and turned around to ask.

The chubby cultivator hurriedly put the jade slip back into his embrace and smiled awkwardly, "I just wanted to earn some spiritual stones to supplement my pill refining skills."

"Hmm?"

Shen Mo became even more curious.

His gaze towards the chubby cultivator carried a questioning look.
