Chapter 766 - 858 Fanning the flames
The core area of the Daoist Alliance, Eight Trigrams City.
The night shrouded the whole city, inside a tavern in the city.
Long Xiaoyao took a sip of wine and said, "Logically speaking, he’s my junior brother, I really shouldn’t speak ill of him, but he’s just a mere Blue Body, yet he’s in a dao companion relationship with Junior Sister Zhao, it’s truly vexing."
"Blue Body?!" Everyone’s face turned stunned.
Chen Mo was only famous within the Shenxiao Sect, which is in the Beiming Domain, far from the Luotian Domain, so they only knew that Zhao Fujin’s dao companion was someone named Chen Mo, but they knew very little about Chen Mo’s details.
"Could I lie to you? The Elder verified it personally, many disciples can attest to it, can that be false?" Long Xiaoyao said seriously.
Hearing this, everyone started to feel discontented.
"I mean, just a Blue Body, what makes him worthy to be Junior Sister Zhao’s dao companion."
"This Chen Mo is totally unworthy of Junior Sister Zhao."
"Alas, a flower like that just stuck on cow dung, no wonder Junior Sister Zhao hurried back to Shenxiao Sect, turns out it was to see him."
"Do you think Junior Sister Zhao might have already been ruined by Chen Mo?"
"No... that can’t be, right?"
"Why not, Junior Sister Zhao is so stunningly beautiful, if you were her dao companion, could you hold back?"
"I couldn’t hold back."
"Exactly."
"Boohoo, my Junior Sister Zhao."
"What are you crying about, even without Chen Mo, she wouldn’t fancy you either."
"Hey, don’t blurt out the harsh truth."
As they talked, everyone cursed at the unfairness of the heavens.
But just then, Long Xiaoyao added fuel to the fire, "This Chen Mo doesn’t have much strength, just a pretty face, talkative, I suspect Junior Sister Zhao was deceived by him. You might not know, when Chen Mo was still at the Foundation Establishment Realm, Elder Zuoqiu took a liking to him and accepted him as a disciple.
Think about it, he’s just a Blue Body, if not for having a eloquent mouth, how could Elder Zuoqiu have taken notice of him."
"The Elder Zuoqiu that Long Junior Brother mentioned, could it be Fairy Zuoqiu Yiren?"
"Exactly, Fairy Zuoqiu."
"Hiss." Everyone gasped, their faces full of envy.
Immediately, someone snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, that Chen Mo is also somewhat ungrateful, doesn’t even look at his own capability, if I were him, I would step back voluntarily, keep my distance from Junior Sister Zhao to avoid trouble for myself."
"Exactly, one should have self-awareness."
"..."
Seeing the situation moving in his anticipated direction, Long Xiaoyao poured more oil on the fire, "A person must have self-awareness, but he doesn’t, after becoming Elder Zuoqiu’s disciple, he’s become quite arrogant. This time, he used some means to gain the sect’s Spiritual Power Infusion qualification, then boasted that during the Daoist Alliance assessment, he would trample all the disciples of different veins."
"Did he really say that?" Someone looked skeptical.
"How could it be false, if you don’t believe it, you can randomly find a Shenxiao Sect disciple to verify." Long Xiaoyao replied.
Seeing Long Xiaoyao’s serious demeanor, everyone became furious.
"Too arrogant, who does he think he is, wanting to trample all the veins beneath his feet."
"Right, he must be taught a lesson, I’ll go tell the sect’s participating disciples, let them give Chen Mo a good beating when they see him."
"I’ll go too, beat him until he can’t get out of bed for months."
"Count me in."
...
In the room.
Chen Mo placed the beautiful legs down from his shoulder, lay flat beside, feeling refreshed.
Jiang Ruoqing gave him a sidelong glance, after a simple clean-up, she skillfully nestled back into his arms, on the inside, Zhao Qianyi, who had been bullied first, was already sound asleep.
"I feel like it won’t be long before I can break through to the Golden Core Realm," Jiang Ruoqing said softly.
She’s becoming more and more compliant with Chen Mo now.
When she first met Chen Mo, she was still somewhat resistant yet passive, cold towards him.
But recently, whatever Chen Mo asked her to do, after a bit of instinctual restraint, she complied.
Chen Mo knew that Ruoqing’s rapid progress in cultivation was greatly aided by his Phoenix Qi, and teased, "Actually, it can be even faster."
Even if Jiang Ruoqing didn’t fully understand Chen Mo’s words, she got a general sense of his meaning from his tone and gaze, immediately glaring at him, "Ridiculous."
Chen Mo held her waist tightly, kissing her forehead gently, and said softly, "I remember you’re from the Su Nv Sect, and the Su Nv Sect seems to be a branch of Daoism, once I enter the Daoist Alliance, I’ll help you inquire about the Su Nv Sect’s matters."
Jiang Ruoqing nodded, feeling touched that he remembered she was from the Su Nv Sect.
Women are emotional, often perceiving a man’s love from small details.
She doodled circles on Chen Mo’s chest with her finger.
Chen Mo started the simulation.
After breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, each simulation now required one thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones.
But for him now, a thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones were nothing.
[Do you want to start the Immortal Cultivation Simulator?]
"Yes."
[On the first day, you arrived at the Daoist Alliance and learned some information about the Daoist Alliance assessment.]
[On the second day, news of your arrival at the Daoist Alliance spread in Eight Trigrams City, each vein’s disciples learned you were Zhao Fujin’s dao companion, some even challenged you.]
[On the third day, you secluded yourself. ]
[On the fourth day, you learned that a grand auction would be held today, where each vein would put up treasures for auction, lasting four days.
On that day, you took a liking to a treasure medicine that restores Soul Power—Soul Essence Grass. Qiao Yushi urged you to bid on it, but under the eyes of others who knew your identity, someone deliberately bid against you, making you purchase this treasure medicine at an extremely high price.]
[On the fifth day, you had your eyes on another item, someone again bid against you. Having already spent a high price on Soul Essence Grass, you didn’t have enough Spirit Stones to continue bidding, missing out on the item.]
[On the sixth day, you secluded yourself.]
[On the seventh day, you secluded yourself.]
[On the eighth day, the Daoist Alliance outer sect assessment began, you passed the first test.]
[On the ninth day, you successfully passed the second test.]
[On the tenth day, you successfully passed the third test. During the subsequent physique assessment, you shocked everyone, being the most dazzling contestant among all participants.]
[Simulation ended, please choose one of the following three rewards as a reward.]
[1, Soul Essence Grass from the auction.]
[2, Ten days of cultivation experience.]
[3, Ten days of Heart Method experience.]
After the simulation ended.
Chen Mo frowned, through the simulation, he learned that his affair would be fully exposed in Eight Trigrams City tomorrow, it was obvious that someone from the sect leaked it.
He sighed deeply and then chose option one.
