I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

Luo Mo felt that his prestige within the Yao Guang Holy Land had reached a point where even ordinary disciples were willing to cheer for him, to the extent that he could even go out like an immortal master and have people shout slogans without any problems.

This was also what he hoped to see, after all, he had invested so much, that single piece of Jieyun Stele material alone was enough to buy several Supreme Elders.

With Yao Guang thriving, its luck would also bless him, who wouldn't want to do something beneficial like this?

Under the blessing of luck, he could pick up treasures when he went out. The demon race's luck allowed him to pick up a saint's scripture on a deserted island, as well as many treasures unique to the sea, sunken ship treasures, Ancient Thunder City, the remains of a Great Saint, a forbidden weapon of the Void Emperor, the poisonous blood of a Holy Spirit, and the Black Sun Wind Calamity.

After Yao Guang's luck was blessed upon him through the Great Luck Technique, although it might not be as vast as the demon race's, Yao Guang's luck was already strong, so it wouldn't be too far off. One could imagine how many opportunities would come his way.

For others, luck was ethereal, but for Luo Mo, it was something that could be quantified.

The blessing of the demon race's luck had gradually calmed down during his discussions with Gai Jiuyou, no longer as fiery as before, like flowers blooming and oil sizzling. It would be difficult for great opportunities to appear again, so he had to rely on Yao Guang.

It would be best to bring in the Tai Xuan Holy Land as well.

However, winning over the Tai Xuan Holy Land was not an easy task. Although he and Hua Yunfei had a good relationship, they were still young and their cultivation was not high enough. Moreover, his methods might work in Yao Guang, but they couldn't be brought back to the Tai Xuan Holy Land by Hua Yunfei, as it was too taboo for outsiders to fund major changes in their own sect.

However, if Hua Yunfei became a Great Power cultivator, his voice in Tai Xuan would be basically stable. After all, he was now cultivating the Undying Heavenly Art, devouring many origins, making him stronger than ordinary King Physiques and Divine Physiques. At that time, he would have the final say in the Tai Xuan Holy Land.

"Congratulations, Brother Jiang."

At the banquet in the Holy Son's Palace, Hua Yunfei raised his glass first.

"Junior Brother's cultivation is getting more and more profound. This senior brother can't see through you at all." Li Rui also raised his glass, "Congratulations, Junior Brother. The title of the number one person among the younger generation belongs to you. Tsk tsk, cultivating a profound art with thirty million catties of origin is even more terrifying than breaking the Holy Body curse."

He remembered something and asked Ye Fan, "Junior Brother, when are you planning to break through?"

Ye Fan replied, "I still need to accumulate for a while longer."

He had originally planned to break through as soon as possible, after all, he was cultivating the Sun Scripture in the Dao Palace Secret Realm and had learned four of the Nine Secrets, so his foundation was very solid.

But after seeing Luo Mo's previous performance, he felt that he shouldn't be complacent and that his foundation should be more solid.

"That thing before… was it a Golden Core?" Ye Fan asked.

Luo Mo also raised his glass. The cup contained fruit wine brewed from several spiritual herbs and fruits, which he had brewed himself. It was an excellent wine, and a cup could sell for tens of thousands of catties of origin in the outside world.

He drank it all in one gulp, and the others followed suit. Only then did they hear him say: "It's a Golden Core, a Divine Power Seed Great Golden Core."

"Divine Power Seed Great Golden Core? What's the explanation for that?" Ye Fan asked curiously. Among the people present, only he and Luo Mo had a good enough relationship to ask these questions casually. After all, he believed that he was the only one here who knew Luo Mo's true identity, so they were close.

And the other person who knew was sitting next to Luo Mo. After Li Rui helped Luo Mo pour spiritual wine, he silently filled her cup as well.

"Thank you, Senior Brother," Wei Wei said.

"Hehe."

Li Rui smiled, then swiped Luo Mo's pot of Hundred Fruit Spiritual Wine and filled his own cup, drinking it down one cup after another.

This was a good thing. One sip was worth half a month of hard cultivation, and it could regulate vitality, dispel hidden injuries, nourish the five internal organs, cleanse the divine mind… In short, it had many benefits.

She thought, as a dignified Holy Maiden, her talent was not weak, and in terms of appearance, she was known as the most beautiful in the Eastern Wilderness. Why couldn't she get the attention of her own Holy Son?

She felt that it was necessary to talk to Jiang Li.

"The so-called Divine Power Seed Great Golden Core is to melt all kinds of divine powers and Dao techniques into one furnace and refine them into a Golden Core."

Hearing Luo Mo say this, the others understood that this must be an extremely powerful secret technique, using it as the general outline to govern all methods.

As for the power… just looking at the thirty million catties of origin consumed during cultivation, one would know that a secret technique that could consume so much origin was definitely not simple.

"Can it also be cultivated into a Nascent Soul?" Ye Fan asked with a smile, thinking of some things he had seen on Earth before.

"How can a man cultivate a Nascent Soul?" Luo Mo asked rhetorically, his tone particularly relaxed.

Everyone could feel that the Holy Son was in a very good mood today, and he was even joking.

Several men slapped the table and laughed, while the women were more tactful.

Everyone drank and chatted together. Li Rui was the most greedy for wine and was already drunk. He began to reveal Ye Fan's embarrassing secrets, "Junior Brother, you, you don't know… Ye Fan went to the Holy City last time and had a private meeting with Fairy An from the Myriad Desire Nunnery."

Huh?

The women instantly raised their gossip radar.

Ye Fan instantly sobered up for the most part, scared, "Senior Brother, don't talk nonsense. I was discussing music with Fairy An, music, how can discussing music be called a private meeting?"

"Go tell Zi Yue, and see if he believes you." Luo Mo ruthlessly continued to stab him, "Yunfei, your Tai Xuan Holy Land has a female disciple who is Ye Fan's old flame. Introduce her to Ji's Little Moon another day."

Hua Yunfei agreed with a smile.

Ye Fan broke out in a cold sweat, damn it, I haven't even seen your harem have an accident yet, how did you start messing with me first?

"Those are all things of the past!"

"Then let's talk about the Myriad Desire Nunnery. I haven't been there yet. I don't know what it looks like, what are its characteristics."

As soon as Luo Mo said this, he immediately felt two hot gazes fall on him.

He looked at them one by one, but Wei Wei and Yao Xi both looked away.

Ye Fan was embarrassed, "Can we not talk about the Myriad Desire Nunnery?"

"Then let's talk about the old flame." Li Rui also chimed in, waking up a bit from his drunkenness after hearing gossip.

"I swear, can we not mention these two things?" Ye Fan cursed.

Luo Mo smiled and continued to stab him, "Then let's talk about the demon race's fairies, are they very beautiful?"

Ye Fan: "?!"

He was shocked, "You even know this?"

"I have quite a few spies planted in the demon race, otherwise, how could you have gone to the demon race so smoothly last time?" Luo Mo said proudly, after all, he also had an identity called Xiao Yan.

"Hiss—"

Ye Fan's teeth hurt a little, "Your paparazzi team has some skills."

He took a pot of wine and drank it down, then lay on the table and didn't move.

"Junior Brother? Junior Brother?"

Li Rui pushed him twice, but there was no response, "He actually used Drunken Escape."

Pretending to be drunk was really a good way.

"You didn't even give me a bit…" He looked at the empty wine pot with great disappointment, because this was the last pot. Luo Mo needed a lot of aged spiritual fruits to brew this Hundred Fruit Wine, the materials were hard to find, and he hadn't brewed many pots in the first place. All of them were taken out for this banquet and ended up in everyone's stomachs.

Originally, everyone wasn't too greedy for drinks. Li Rui was slowly drinking there by himself. He didn't expect Ye Fan to directly take the pot and drink it all alone.

Junior Brother, you pretended to be drunk and didn't forget to steal wine, you're too dark, aren't you?

The banquet dispersed, and everyone had to go back to cultivate, because this wine was beneficial to cultivation, so it was better to go back and refine it quickly.

As everyone left one by one, only Yao Xi was left in the end.

"I want to resign from the position of Holy Maiden," she said.

Luo Mo looked at his own Holy Maiden, known as the Pearl of the Eastern Wilderness, and gave a faint 'hmm'.

In front of him, who could sense emotions, the tactic of retreating to advance didn't seem to be a good way.

Hearing Luo Mo's faint response, Yao Xi's emotions fluctuated violently, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Junior Sister Wei Wei's cultivation is improving extremely quickly, almost no less than mine. The position of Holy Maiden should be held by her," Yao Xi said, pretending to be calm.

She didn't expect the Holy Son to be so ruthless, not showing any consideration at all. In this case, her situation would be very bad.

"If you don't do it, whoever is chosen will be the one."

Luo Mo's indifferent tone seemed to anger Yao Xi. She stood up, her beautiful appearance and exquisite figure like a combination of a fairy and a demon. Coupled with the fact that she had just drunk wine, she was angry at the moment, and the blush on her face was about to burn into her eyes.

Her chest heaved, and she finally broke out, "Yao Xi just wants to ask the Holy Son, what did I do wrong? What did I offend? Why have you been indifferent to me since the first day you entered Yao Guang?"

Even if she died, she should have a crime!

"My ears are too good; I can hear what others are thinking," Luo Mo replied unhurriedly. "You can recall what you were thinking each time you and I met."

What was I thinking?

Yao Xi felt a chill in her heart because she had many thoughts that she couldn't let others know when she met Luo Mo. What she could get, she would get. What she couldn't get, she wouldn't mind destroying. Because even the slightest neglect would be judged and dealt with arbitrarily in her inner world, thinking about how to exploit him... But why would the most private part of a person's inner self be stripped bare, and have their thoughts spoken aloud to others?

Yao Xi, who originally wanted to denounce him angrily, instantly lost her voice and all strength in her body. Luo Mo's words accurately and ruthlessly struck her vital point, leaving her with no power to resist.

"Is the Holy Maiden satisfied with this answer?"

Countless thoughts flashed through Yao Xi's mind, but in the end, she cut off those schemes of breaking apart and the idea of never seeing him again, or seeing him again only with a secret treasure in mind.

"So, I brought it upon myself." At this point, she became much more open.

Luo Mo took out a set of tea utensils and some tea leaves to make tea.

"Sit down."

Yao Xi sat down blankly. Her mind was now in a state of chaos. The more she schemed against someone who could hear other people's thoughts, the more mistakes she made... So, no wonder Jiang Li liked women like Wei Wei who had no scheming mind.

No wonder he had such a good relationship with that idiot Li Rui.

No wonder he was willing to cultivate that Holy Body without worrying about betrayal.

......

Various thoughts swirled in Yao Xi's mind. Luo Mo poured her a cup of tea.

"Drink tea."

The tea soup was clear, reflecting her face. She took a sip, and the taste was a little bitter.

"Mind-calming tea. It's a little bitter."

"...Thank you."

Yao Xi was a very clever woman. She quickly gathered her chaotic thoughts, clearing her mind and becoming free of impurities and thoughts.

Luo Mo lit a stick of incense, a good thing he had salvaged from a sunken ship in the sea area last time. After lighting it, it could calm the mind, cleanse the spirit, and wash away distracting thoughts.

She sat here in meditation, cultivating her spirit, and soon the night passed.

From the initial state of no thoughts, to the gradual activation of her thinking, with various thoughts flashing, Yao Xi was not afraid of Luo Mo eavesdropping on her thoughts, because a long time had already passed.

"Why?" she asked.

"Because you are the Holy Maiden, and I, as the Holy Son, should have a good relationship with you. I was too willful before, hearing a few words in your heart, and deliberately ignoring you."

To Yao Xi's surprise, Luo Mo actually said that he was too willful before.

Yao Xi felt very pleased and said vaguely, "Your methods are really powerful. With a few words, I..."

How could she not be convinced? Cooperation benefits both, while separation means she loses. Since the Holy Son had offered a step down, she, the Holy Maiden, had to take it.

"It's not a big deal, but it's been delayed for so many years. I should apologize."

Since he wanted to integrate the Yaoguang's luck, Luo Mo naturally didn't want Yaoguang to be as mixed, rough, and wild as the demon race. Since he had the ability, he wanted to make the entire sect work together, and naturally, there could be no internal conflicts first.

Rather than replacing the Holy Maiden and letting one lineage dominate, it would be better to mobilize all the enthusiasm. Since Yao Xi was such a person, it would be better to turn her into his own camp. What the Supreme Elders behind her could give her, he could also give her. And what he could give her, those Supreme Elders could not give her. How could she resist?

Why does a sect need so many voices? The Holy Maiden should speak for the Holy Son, shouldn't she?

What Yao Xi sought was simple: cultivation and reliance. In such a great era, with Divine Bodies, Holy Bodies, King Bodies, and many special physiques and geniuses being born, her opportunities seemed so ordinary. A Holy Maiden like her would have been impressive in the past, but in this era, competing with these geniuses made her feel inadequate.

Although she was still stronger than the likes of Li Rui, she clearly saw the gap between her and the top-tier geniuses. She had already sadly realized this in the Licheng Underground Palace.

"I accept." She wasn't being pretentious and enjoyed this kindness.

Although this kindness was definitely marked with a price, so what?

She was confident that she wouldn't lose, or rather, the situation wouldn't be worse than it was now. As long as she could continue to be the Holy Maiden, she would have everything in the future.

She knew that Ye Fan had several of the Nine Secrets Holy Arts, and countless people coveted them when he went out. In her opinion, Ye Fan was just a rogue cultivator before, with no background or foundation. How could he have obtained so many secret arts? Who else could have given them to him except their Holy Son Jiang Li?

And the scriptures that Wei Wei cultivated were definitely not Yaoguang's scriptures. Obviously, they were even more extraordinary, but she didn't know which one it was. Wei Wei usually didn't show off, and she couldn't guess.

But later when Ye Fan came, she guessed it, because Ye Fan often fought outside, using the Solar Emperor Fist to beat up many people. Yao Xi was also present once, and the auras of the two were similar. At that time, she understood that Wei Wei and Ye Fan had cultivated the Solar Scripture.

As for where it came from, did she need to say?

She wanted it too, but never had the opportunity.

And now, the opportunity had come.

"Follow me."

Luo Mo extinguished the incense and took Yao Xi to his alchemy room.

Compared to the previous Bagua array patterns, some changes had been made here, adding a Yin Yang diagram. Usually, Ye Fan's Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron would be placed in the Yang extreme position for refining medicine, but it was not here now, it was with Ye Fan.

A Zijin Furnace was placed in the Yin extreme position, which Luo Mo would use to refine magic weapons.

"What is your weapon of Dao proof?"

Luo Mo took out two futons.

"It's a jade bell."

Yao Xi took out a green jade bell, but it was not as big as a fist, because there was not enough divine material used.

After all, good refining materials are really hard to find in this world. Ordinary people may not even see saint-level materials in their lifetime, let alone immortal gold-level materials. Yao Xi was extremely lucky to have obtained a small piece of Biluo Divine Jade.

Then, to Yao Xi's astonished gaze, Luo Mo threw her natal magic weapon, the green jade bell, into the Zijin Furnace.

"!"

Yao Xi was uneasy, because this was her weapon of Dao proof. Theoretically speaking, the refining of the weapon of Dao proof should not be interfered with by outsiders, and she needed to carefully temper and polish it in her Bitter Sea.

But to Luo Mo, that was nonsense.

After he helped to refine it, and taught her a method of consecrating magic weapons, he would definitely be able to make the master and the magic weapon combine more closely than before.

Yao Xi was a little nervous, because Luo Mo didn't tell her what he was doing. She only saw the divine fire rising in the Zijin Furnace, and the green jade bell melted instantly, and all kinds of Dao patterns were like decorations, unable to stop it at all.

The Great Treasure Refining Technique is best at breaking the restrictions of magic weapons, not to mention that he didn't know which of those refining Dao patterns in Yaoguang? Which one hadn't he studied?

Various divine materials were rarely seen by others, but he had refined them many times, and he was familiar with them. As soon as the Earth Emperor Gang Qi Fire Emperor Yuan Qi and the Great Treasure Refining Technique came out, they immediately melted the green jade bell.

A pool of jade liquid floated in the furnace, and a crystal clear divine pattern bell appeared in the flames.

Luo Mo waved his hand and threw several divine lights into the furnace. Before Yao Xi could see clearly, nine divine lights turned into nine pools of jade liquid, and then condensed towards the divine pattern bell.

"Nine Heavens Divine Jade!"

She exclaimed, because those were nine kinds of Nine Heavens Divine Jade, each of which was several times larger than her original green jade bell, and there were also several pieces of purple jade, which was Zijing Jade Soil. Luo Mo had once used this material to wrap a layer of shell for the Zijin Qi Luck Stele, and obviously he still had a lot in his hand.

At this time, all kinds of materials were combined into one, casting a nine-colored jade bell, which was still floating and burning in the flames.

"I will teach you a method to consecrate magic weapons."

Luo Mo dictated the secret method, and Yao Xi immediately used it. It was very different from ordinary methods, but she could feel that her connection with the magic weapon was tighter, like blood connected.

This was a method that Luo Mo had transformed from the Great Treasure Refining Technique and the Great Blood Soul Technique, and it was perfect for consecrating natal magic weapons when applied to the Covering Heaven method.

This step required Yao Xi to do it herself, and he had already taken care of the matter of changing the materials for her.

Then, Luo Mo took out a jade bottle and poured it into the Zijin Furnace. In an instant, a stream of Chaos Qi flew into the furnace like a divine waterfall.

After all, this thing was his most abundant resource. The Chaos Waterfall in Kunlun had flowed for hundreds of thousands of years, accumulating into a Chaos Lake below, and he had packed it all away, scraping a layer of the ground, so much that it was almost inexhaustible.
