First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 230: Gifted Fan

After leaving the Purple Heaven Palace, Shen Mo did not immediately return to his residence in the inner sect.

Instead, he headed straight for the Alchemy Domain!

Along the way, Shen Mo clearly felt the change in the atmosphere within the Linjiang Sect!

Disciples passing by were in a hurry.

There was a sense of urgency in their expressions, and their conversations revolved around topics such as the Heavenly Demon, Demon Slaying, and rapidly increasing combat power.

When he arrived at the Alchemy Domain, Shen Mo noticed that there were noticeably fewer alchemists outside.

Most of the alchemists were staying in their own residences, working hard to refine various elixirs to deal with the demonic calamity.

The entire Alchemy Domain was filled with the fragrance of medicine.

When Shen Mo passed by the Emerald Bamboo Alchemy Room, he noticed that there were many newly promoted alchemists coming and going, creating a lively scene.

It was no longer as desolate and quiet as before.

As the conflict escalated, the entire Linjiang Sect, the five major immortal sects, and even the entire Chiyan Kingdom's cultivation world...

It was as if a tremendously large and complex formation had started to operate frantically.

Every cultivator, from the Grand Dao Realm elders to the newcomers in the Body Tempering Realm, was a part of this formation, supporting its operation with their own contributions.

At the same time, they were also carried along by the formation, unable to act on their own.

...

Spirit Gathering Peak.

Where Zhao Lingyin cultivated.

This was Shen Mo's first time coming here. Previously, he had only met Zhao Lingyin in the Emerald Bamboo Alchemy Room.

The surrounding mountains and waters of this peak were filled with abundant spiritual energy.

The towering mountains and flowing water were magnificent.

In terms of elegance and beauty, it was second only to the three main peaks.

"Although the scenery in my residence is not bad, compared to this place, it seems a bit lacking!"

Shen Mo landed on a cliff platform.

Looking up, he saw the snow-covered peak reaching into the sky.

The melted snow formed a winding mountain stream, flowing down and converging into a lake above the mountainside.

The small building in the center of the lake was located in the middle of the lake, but it was hidden by a formation.

Apart from the reflection of the lake and the mist, the pavilions in the center of the lake could not be seen.

Shen Mo took out a sound transmission talisman and sent a message to Zhao Lingyin with his divine sense.

In an instant, a graceful figure walked out from the misty water, stepping on the shimmering water ripples.

Seeing this beautiful scene, Shen Mo's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he was momentarily stunned!

It was only when the faint fragrance of spiritual medicine wafted over that he snapped back to his senses and smiled as he took Zhao Lingyin's delicate hand.

Although Zhao Lingyin was a little shy, she did not pull away. Her eyes were filled with joy as she said, "I didn't know you were coming back. Have you accumulated enough battle merits?"

Although the two were thousands of miles apart, they had always kept in touch through talisman communication.

However, Shen Mo had not informed Zhao Lingyin in advance about his return to the sect.

"No matter how many battle merits I have, it's not enough. After fighting for several months, I want to return to the mountain to rest for a while."

Shen Mo played with her slender jade fingers.

He felt that her fingers were very beautiful, like ivory carefully carved, perfect and flawless. There was still a hint of the fragrance of the Tai Xu Pill on her fingertips.

This annoyed Zhao Lingyin a little.

Only then did Shen Mo interlock his fingers with hers, holding her hand tightly, and strolling between the mountains and waters.

"Is the alchemy task in the sect too heavy? I can see that you have become thinner compared to two months ago."

"It's not too tiring..."

Many things had been discussed through the sound transmission talisman.

But now, as they spoke one by one, it was not at all boring. Instead, it was incredibly relaxing and pleasant.

Their conversation was no longer limited to alchemy and cultivation.

They talked about whatever came to mind.

The situation on the Tian Shan battlefield, the changes within the Linjiang Sect, the fluctuations in the prices of elixirs, the difficulties in cultivating techniques, and the encounters with extraordinary people...

Even the trivial matters around them could be talked about for half a day.

Unconsciously, the sky darkened.

Shen Mo and Zhao Lingyin stopped at a cliff facing west.

Seeing a flat giant rock on the cliff, Shen Mo invited Zhao Lingyin to sit down and rest.

The setting sun descended in the west.

The magnificent evening glow painted half of the sky red.

Reflecting in the lake, it dyed the water red, creating ripples of red glow with the gentle breeze, like the scales of a red carp.

At this moment, Shen Mo began to talk to Zhao Lingyin about their trip to the underground palace.

He talked about asking Senior Yao Ting to buy more elixirs;

Senior Li Zhong's arrogant charge into the military formation;

Breaking the prohibition in the main hall with the golden and silver ingots spewed by the Golden Ghost;

The Spirit Storage Rat collecting treasures recklessly...

"Ying! Ying!"

Zhao Lingyin poked the round belly of the Spirit Storage Rat with her slender fingers and smiled, her eyes forming crescents. "Being this fat, it doesn't look like a second-level demonic beast at all."

The Spirit Storage Rat lay comfortably in the Spirit Pet Bag, inexplicably released, with a confused look on its face.

Staring with its small green eyes at Shen Mo, then at Zhao Lingyin.

Soon.

A cunning look appeared in its eyes, and it rubbed Zhao Lingyin's palm with its head.

Then, in a flash, it burrowed back into the Spirit Pet Bag.

When it reappeared, its paws held a dazzling golden nugget the size of a soybean, which it carefully placed in Zhao Lingyin's hand.

It wasn't worth much spiritual energy, but it looked beautiful!

Zhao Lingyin couldn't help but smile and rubbed the round belly of the Spirit Storage Rat a few times.

Usually, the Spirit Storage Rat would collect some trinkets to decorate its nest.

Shen Mo also knew about it and didn't pay much attention to it.

But he didn't expect this little guy to have such tricks!

However, seeing this scene, he also remembered the main business. He took out the Spirit Feather Fan from the Qiankun Bag and handed it to Zhao Lingyin.

"What is this..."

Zhao Lingyin's eyes brightened as she took the fan and carefully examined it.

"The Colorful Phoenix Spirit Feather Fan."

"A fairly decent magical tool that I found in the underground palace."

"This fan is made from the tail feathers of the Bathing Fire Colorful Phoenix."

"After you refine it, you only need to infuse it with the flame of a different fire, and it can fan out a powerful fire aura..."

"It suits you very well!"

A drop of crimson blood dripped from Zhao Lingyin's fingertip and landed on the fan. She refined it in front of Shen Mo.

After a moment.

She lightly shook the fan and looked at Shen Mo with a smile in her eyes.

In her eyes, there was a shining light. "The Bathing Fire Colorful Phoenix uses its beautiful tail feathers to attract female phoenixes, right?"

Shen Mo was momentarily speechless.

He only thought that this Spirit Feather Fan was very suitable for Zhao Lingyin to use.

After all, her cultivation in immortal arts was not deep, and her combat power was not strong, but she had a lot of fire energy in her hands, which could unleash the full power of this Spirit Feather Fan.

By infusing more spiritual flames, it might even threaten a Spirit Sea Realm expert!

But what she was thinking about was the effect of the Colorful Phoenix's tail feathers, which were used to compete for beauty and attract mates.

Then, Shen Mo also realized.

Whether in the past or in this life, there would always be some differences in thinking between men and women.

Even in the world of cultivation, it was the same for women!

In his opinion.

He and Zhao Lingyin were naturally getting closer little by little.

There was no need to deliberately pursue a closer relationship.

Just having someone to accompany him on the long immortal path was enough to make him happy and satisfied.

Shen Mo nodded with a smile, holding Zhao Lingyin's delicate hand, gripping it tighter.

But his gaze looked towards the distant horizon!

Although there were no words.

Zhao Lingyin understood his meaning.
