Shen Mo can vaguely guess what Chen Mengze is thinking.塡
Fortunately, those who cultivate immortality always put the pursuit of immortality first. If they have no thoughts, they can achieve a pure heart and few desires; and unlike ordinary mortals, their life span is short. If they can accompany them for hundreds or even thousands of years, they will be another kind of immortals.
A form of "Taoist couple"?
Therefore, Shen Mo did not deliberately avoid Chen Mengze. If he was obsessed with catching up with him, it might not be a bad thing!
As long as Chen Mengze's Taoist heart is clear and he is not depressed because of "not being able to ask for what he wants", and because "not being able to ask for what he wants" affects his own practice, then everything else is just a sideshow.
From the current point of view, her cultivation progress is not slow, and her Taoist heart has not become dusty;
The alienation shown must be out of consideration for Zhao Lingyin’s thoughts and the material opinions of other disciples!
……
"You are already the supreme elder of the sect, and you still call me senior sister, so you are not afraid of being laughed at by others." 塡
After welcoming Shen Mo into the cave, Chen Mengze made a cup of spiritual tea for Shen Mo. The aroma of the tea rose with the heat, making her increasingly clear and beautiful face look like a person in a painting.
Her cave is furnished with a large amount of mysterious ice obtained from the extreme cold regions of the far north. Even the tables, chairs and beds are made of ice, like a thousand-year-old ice cellar.
It seems that only Lingcha is hot.
However, due to Shen Mo's practice, the cold and heat have long since escaped, and he didn't care about the ice cellar-like environment. He sat down on the ice chair, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Then he exhaled the hot scent of tea and said quite casually: "The stronger you are, the less bound you will be by those rules and regulations."
"Otherwise, if we continue to put shackles on our bodies, we will become more and more incapable of freedom... What's the point of our hard work in cultivation?"
"Don't call me senior sister. If you want, why not call you master?" 塡
Shen Mo's words may seem unserious, but they are actually telling Chen Mengze not to care too much about what others think, and just get along with each other normally.
If someone really dares to laugh at him to his face, Shen Mo will teach them what "the majesty of the ancestors" means;
If he wanted to be more serious, he could even rely on the divine soul spell to prevent his disciples from even having the slightest thought of humiliating him... Of course, Shen Mo wouldn't do that!
Except for certain circumstances, Shen Mo has always been more tolerant towards weak creatures whose cultivation strength is far inferior to his.
Say it more **.
The thoughts of the weak, whether they are praise or criticism, are insignificant to the strong.
"Really?" 塡
Chen Mengze rolled his eyes at him and said angrily, "That's not what you said just now. You said that if there are many disciples nearby, there will be rumors and so on."
"If I hadn't said that, would I have been able to drink the spiritual tea you brewed?"
Shen Mo smiled faintly, drank all the tea in the cup, and then took out two bottles of elixirs and handed them to Chen Mengze.
"This bottle of Three Emperors Spiritual Marrow Pill was refined by Lingyin herself. She asked me to hand it over to you."
"This is a fifth-grade elixir with extraordinary effects and relatively mild medicinal properties. Whether it is used to assist cultivation or to restore spiritual power when the Dantian is exhausted during battle, it is a good choice."
"The other bottle is the fourth-grade Dragon and Tiger Phaseless Pill. The effect of restoring spiritual power is not as good as the former, but it is better in all aspects."
"After taking this pill, your energy, blood, soul, and spiritual power will be restored a lot. You should have taken it and know its specific effects, so you can just use it when the time comes!" 塡
That wasn't enough, he took out a thick pile of talismans, of various types, each with its own effects.
After explaining everything to Chen Mengze one by one, Shen Mo asked her if the magic weapon was in hand, if there were any problems with the immortal martial arts skills she had practiced, and if the power of the Beidou Sword Formation was worthy of use.
Chen Mengze looked at him quietly and suddenly smiled: "Didn't you ask me some time ago?"
"Don't worry, I'm sure to win the position of core leader."
"You gave me elixirs and talismans so grandly, and you also used secret methods to help me cultivate the spirituality of the magic tools..."
"If your friends Cao Ren, Lu Ming, and the others find out, I'm afraid they will feel resentful and blame me for giving you the **** soup!"
Shen Mo chuckled lightly, a little disinterested. 塡
"We have close relatives, far and near, so how can I be exempt from vulgarity?"
"If I hadn't been taken care of by you and Uncle Chen, I would have gone down the mountain long ago and either died in a demonic disaster or my wife and children would have been swallowed by a snake."
"What's more, they have their own chance to make things happen, so I don't need to worry about them."
"If I have a grudge against you and me because of this, and feel that I favor one over the other and neglect them... With such a heart and mind, I am afraid that I will not be able to go very far on the road to immortality, and will not be able to walk with me for thousands of years!"
Hearing what he said, an imperceptible sparkle flashed through Chen Mengze's clear and bright eyes.
Afterwards, Shen Mo took over the magical sword named "Huixue" from her and used the magical power of [Spiritual Heart and Wisdom] to enhance her spirituality.
As soon as this crystal clear spirit sword, like cicada wings on thin ice, came into Shen Mo's hands, the sword spirit shouted "Father" happily, showing his intimacy! 塡
This sword was also forged by Shen Mo himself.
Chen Mengze used the yin and yang jade plate to condense the nectar, and exchanged a lot of top casting materials with the black ice creatures in the cold realm. In addition, he had good luck, and the sword spirit was born as soon as it was forged.
Huixue Sword Spirit and Demon-Slaying Sword Spirit both regard him as their biological father, which is not surprising at all.
When Shen Mo's Beidou Dao Sword, Qingyun Umbrella and other top-quality magic weapons gradually give birth to spiritual wisdom, he will probably have a lot more "children".
He flicked the sword with his fingers and comforted Hui Xue Sword Spirit.
Immediately, Shen Mo's fingertips swayed with waves of Dao rhyme fluctuations, which were formless, colorless and soundless. Even if a stronger person used the five senses to detect carefully, it would be extremely difficult to find any clues.
Chen Mengze on the side couldn't see anything except that he could feel Hui Xue Sword Spirit's heart was joyful and more agile than before. 塡
After Shen Mo withdrew her magical power, she opened her mouth and spat out a blast of frosty cold light, then put the Huixue Magic Sword into her Dantian to continue nourishing it.
"Okay. Everything is settled, I'm going back first."
Shen Mo stood up, breathed white air and said to Chen Mengze, "You continue to adjust your breath. I'm afraid you will have to go through several fierce battles in a few days."
"I still have to go to the Palace of Eternal Life to discuss the rules and regulations of this competition with the two ancestors, Yuan and Zhou!"
Chen Mengze nodded and sent Shen Mo away from the cave.
After coming back, she sat cross-legged on the ice bed, took out a Dragon-Tiger Wuxiang Pill sent by Shen Mo, bit the pill into pieces with her silver teeth, swallowed it in her belly, and fell into a state of cultivation again.
……塡
Time flew by, and soon it was time to compete and determine the core seats.
The chosen venue for this competition was among the mountains not far from Chong'a Mountain. If something happened at the mountain gate, Shen Mo and three other Supreme Elders and a group of senior officials would be able to return to the sect in time.
After hearing the news, the disciples went to the Battlefield early to grab a spot on a hill with a higher terrain and a wider view, so that they could better observe the fight between dragons and tigers!
