Chapter 303: Chapter 50: Sword Slave, Mastered by the Sword_2
They probably still aren’t considered Sword Cultivators, just somewhere between a "Sword Sheath" and a "Sword Slave".
Li Mo clicked his tongue in amazement.
The Heavenly Sword Sect has an unconventional cultivation system; sword cultivators create wedding clothes for flying swords. Through generations of inheritance, the flying swords indeed grow stronger and stronger.
When Li Mo got in touch with Feihong, he could detect the Creation Book responding.
The Raiding Page revealed a phantom of flames, proving he could seize Feihong’s Taoist Body, but it was too attention-grabbing, so he chose not to attempt it.
If the Heavenly Sword Sect knew that Li Mo had the Creation Book, the consequences would be obvious.
He closed his eyes to continue his recuperation. After the Jiuxuan Heavenly Palace Sword Holding Technique was digested by the Primordial Dao Seed, it soon began to affect his cultivation technique system.
However, the Jiuxuan Heavenly Palace Sword Holding Technique had no significant improvements for the main cultivation technique.
Instead, it greatly impacted Da Ai Mi Tian, adding some means to his Lifebound Magical Treasure, causing the cancer cells that composed the treasure to become unusually active.
Li Mo observed his Lifebound Magical Treasure and completed the transformation in half a day.
He felt somewhat disappointed because Da Ai Mi Tian did not give birth to new Spirit Patterns, but he was soon attracted to the new ability of the Lifebound Magical Treasure.
From a microscopic perspective, the cancer cells appeared increasingly ferocious.
Now the cancer cells could absorb the vitality of others through parasitic means, while Da Ai Mi Tian would replenish nutrients to Li Mo.
Li Mo’s expression was full of interest.
He absorbed a mass of cancer cells into the Corpse Mountain Mini World, finding several Deceit Beasts to parasitize.
Li Mo could sense that the efficiency of the Nourishing Yuan Fruit Medicine Power had increased by thirty percent, but the Deceit Beasts couldn’t withstand the erosion of the cancer cells and turned into a puddle of sludge within just a few hours.
"For now, its utility is limited, but once Da Ai Mi Tian is promoted to a Mid-grade Magical Treasure, the number of splitting cancer cells will surge, along with improved control over the treasure..."
"It will definitely be of great use."
Li Mo suddenly realized that his current abilities were entirely tailored for the No-Life Sect, even more fitting than No-Life Mother.
If he acted without restraint, he would definitely be the number one Demon Cultivator in the world.
However, being so high-profile, he might meet his end without knowing how.
With the Creation Book in hand, Li Mo could achieve immortality through cautious development, choosing not to follow a path of cultivating the Cultivation World both logically and emotionally.
"I can’t waste the five years before the Secret Realm opens."
He closed his eyes to communicate with Da Ai Mi Tian, enduring the scorching from the Residual Fire.
Li Mo woke up for a moment every hundred days, glanced at the tavern, then ignored it, focusing all his energy on fire-resistance transformation of his body.
In fact, Nascent Soul cultivators from different factions held similar attitudes.
They stationed themselves in Five Temples Town not to manage businesses; there was no need to let trivial trades affect their cultivation, so they mostly stayed behind closed doors.
Of course, as more and more factions gathered in Five Temples Town, conflicts became inevitable, and occasionally Nascent Soul cultivators would duel outside the town.
The busiest place was Guodan Mountain.
The Dan Ghost Sect quickly resolved its internal and external troubles, specifically sending Nascent Soul Elder "Ghost Cicada" to Five Temples Town to deal with Guodan Mountain.
The two factions frequently had minor conflicts, and Elder He Guo could no longer focus on the Four Seas Commerce.
Although Li Mo seemed constrained by the weak strength of the Four Seas Commerce and did not intervene, he was secretly planning how to deal with Pill Cultivators in the True Word Secret Realm.
Corpse Wine greatly aided him, so he definitely had to seize the opportunity to enhance his alchemy skills.
Li Mo had never analyzed the cultivation methods of the Nascent Soul Stage in the Dan Ghost Sect, nor did he understand the alchemy system of Guodan Mountain, which indeed was enticing.
"Don’t let me down, you have conflicts, resolve them in the Secret Realm. Outside, no one dares to go all out because of Feihong."
Li Mo let out a strange laugh, suppressing distractions to continue cultivating.
Only two years remained until the opening of the True Word Secret Realm, and he finally removed the Residual Fire, adjusting his body and soul to peak condition.
The tavern business profited from the contention between the Pill Cultivators.
During this time, Li Mo cultivated another Fake Soul, but he did not use it to perform Dao Body Fusion, temporarily placing it in the Mud Pill Palace to protect himself.
With only half a year remaining until the opening of the True Word Secret Realm, Li Mo’s seclusion was interrupted by Tang Wu’s message transmission.
Tang Wu, appearing slightly uneasy, said, "Shopkeeper, a Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator wants to see you; he claims to be from the Skin Painting Sect."
"Let him come up."
Li Mo relaxed his brow; Luo Kai finally couldn’t hold back any longer.
He deliberately exposed his aura to attract Luo Kai, not expecting that Luo Kai would hesitate for four years before coming to the tavern.
Li Mo planned to enter the True Word Secret Realm, and naturally needed a Nascent Soul Stage to oversee the outside world.
If Luo Kai didn’t come, he would have to spend a fortune to hire a Nascent Soul Stage from a small faction at the port, costing tens of thousands of Spirit Stones with the risk that the Nascent Soul Cultivator might flee in battle.
Li Mo also wasn’t afraid of Luo Kai informing others.
Back at Skywell Inn, Luo Kai and the other Demon Cultivators were intimidated by Li Mo’s power, pledging a Heart Demon Oath, unable to leak any of his information.
Even if Luo Kai wasn’t certain whether Li Mo was one of the Thirteen Immortals, as long as any partial information was involved, the Heart Demon Oath could directly cause his death.
Li Mo’s Divine Sense swept over the tavern. Luo Kai, looking apprehensive, was carefully approaching the Seclusion Room led by Tang Wu.
Luo Kai’s cultivation was quite peculiar.
His body was only at the Dead Baby Stage, but the Beast Skin he wore had reached the Corpse Infant Stage.
The peculiarities of the Skin Painting Sect’s cultivation technique made Luo Kai’s aura unusually unstable, as if his body and soul were on the brink of collapse.
"Ah..."
Luo Kai stood in front of the Seclusion Room door, unable to help but let out a long sigh.
A faint wine aroma leaked from the Seclusion Room. Through the window, one could see Li Mo raising a wine jar with his right hand, feeding something unknown.
"Luo Kai, aren’t you looking for me? Come in."
When Luo Kai heard Li Mo’s undisguised voice, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
After hesitating for a few moments, he still pushed open the door, greeted by a seemingly smiling Li Mo, with the Soul-devouring Demon Infant on his shoulder drinking Corpse Wine.
