Chapter 800 - 892 Purple Qi Glazed Armor
As disciples of the Daoist Alliance, there are also assessments.
Of course, they are not conducted annually.
Rather, from the day one joins the Daoist Alliance, if one cannot reach the Nascent Soul Realm within five hundred years, they must graduate and leave the Alliance.
After all, the Daoist Alliance recruits a thousand new disciples every five years. If the old disciples stayed in the Alliance indefinitely, it would eventually become overcrowded and drain the Alliance’s resources.
Next, those disciples who reach the Void Realm have two options: one is to graduate, and the other is to continue cultivating within the Daoist Alliance.
However, if you choose to enjoy the resources for cultivation provided by the Daoist Alliance, you will have to become a Guardian Elder in the future and contribute to the Alliance.
Of course, this includes Core Disciples.
...
Very soon, Zuoqiu Yiren brought the two to the core area of the Daoist Alliance.
Here, there were many floating islands, each with a waterfall cascading down like the Milky Way.
Each island here has a spring, continuously emitting pure energy, which is greatly beneficial to cultivation when practiced upon.
Zuoqiu Yiren first took the two to meet her master in the Daoist Alliance.
Zuoqiu Yiren’s master is called the True Person Zixuan.
He has lived for nine thousand years.
He is an elder of the Daoist Alliance, now retired and providing a stabilizing presence, no longer accepting disciples.
Upon learning that Chen Mo is her grand-disciple, True Person Zixuan gifted Chen Mo a small present.
It was an Initial Grade Dao Artifact called the Purple Qi Glazed Armor, a Defensive Dao Artifact.
Wearing this Dao Artifact, even a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator’s attacks would be ineffective, and the attack could be reflected back.
Moreover, with Chen Mo’s strength, wearing this armor could withstand a full-force blow from a Unity Realm cultivator.
It could resist up to three strikes.
This was truly a precious treasure.
A lifesaving Divine Artifact.
...
Since the master and disciple hadn’t seen each other for a long time, they naturally wanted to have a private conversation.
So Chen Mo and Xiao Jiu wandered outside True Person Zixuan’s cave residence.
Since it was a place for retirement and True Person Zixuan no longer accepted disciples, the surroundings appeared somewhat desolate, with few human traces and the plants growing chaotically, obviously unattended for a long time.
After looking around, Xiao Jiu suddenly hugged Chen Mo, her face slightly red, and said, "Master, did you forget something?"
"What thing?" Chen Mo was puzzled, not immediately catching on.
"The Path of Immortality, the wager." Seeing Chen Mo still confused, Xiao Jiu was slightly annoyed, thinking that the master indeed forgot.
"Oh, that, I didn’t forget." Chen Mo pinched Xiao Jiu’s nose.
Hearing this, Xiao Jiu immediately looked delighted, standing on her tiptoes for a kiss, saying, "Then master, fulfill your promise, as of today, it has been exactly two quarters of an hour."
Xiao Jiu’s features were exceptionally beautiful, her exquisite facial features looking like they were painted on, with not a single flaw, especially her full figure, from Chen Mo’s viewpoint, a glimpse of a semicircle could be seen.
At this moment, she was initiating a kiss, and Chen Mo, not being a gentleman, would usually go along with it.
But now they were outside True Person Zixuan’s cave residence, and for someone of his stature, the entire mountain was within his perceptual range.
If they kissed now, it would be like exposing themselves in True Person Zixuan’s presence.
"Later, this is True Person Zixuan’s residence, not the right place," Chen Mo said.
Xiao Jiu’s face fell, feeling that she was being snubbed by Chen Mo, making her decide that if he didn’t kiss her now, she would ignore him.
Helpless, Chen Mo could only fulfill a small part first, lowering his head to kiss Xiao Jiu’s red lips.
At the moment their lips touched, Xiao Jiu’s eyebrows curved with happiness, as if she had been waiting for a long time, holding onto Chen Mo even tighter.
Most surprisingly, Xiao Jiu even took the initiative to extend her tongue.
Chen Mo’s eyes widened slightly.
However, Xiao Jiu was thoroughly enjoying the experience.
If possible, she even wanted to immediately become the master’s woman.
Five minutes later.
Recalling the scene, Xiao Jiu proactively grasped Chen Mo’s large hand and placed it on her own rear, seemingly requesting Chen Mo to indulge her more.
"Little flirt..." Chen Mo took the lead, thinking as a man, he shouldn’t let a woman take the initiative, caught his breath, grasped Xiao Jiu’s pointed chin, and kissed her while his other hand gently caressed her backside.
On the other side.
While reminiscing with her disciple, True Person Zixuan stroked his graying beard and said with a laugh, "Yiren, your disciple is indeed lively."
"Hmm?" Zuoqiu Yiren was taken aback by her master’s words, but after sensing what was happening, her face turned red: "Such nonsense."
As she prepared to stop them, True Person Zixuan chuckled, saying, "The matters between men and women are part of the Yin Yang Dao, there’s no need to resist it. Think back to when I was their age with your mistress in the same way..."
Realizing it might be inappropriate to share his own romantic stories with his disciple, True Person Zixuan changed the subject: "Yiren, you’re not young anymore. It’s time to find a Dao Companion, ideally one who can accompany you for life."
In his youth, True Person Zixuan fell in love with a mortal woman.
At that time, his power was still weak, and seeing his beloved’s beauty fade with age, he desperately sought herbs and elixirs to slow her aging.
By the time he became powerful enough to obtain a Longevity Pill for her, she could no longer wait; her life had faded away.
Hearing this, a vision of Chen Mo flashed inexplicably in Zuoqiu Yiren’s mind.
She was soon startled by her own thoughts, quickly shaking her head, her face growing even redder, "Master, what are you saying, I’m used to being alone."
But having lived for thousands of years and seen it all, True Person Zixuan could tell his disciple might have someone in mind.
Without directly stating it, he said, "In your youth, you should be bold. Even if you fail, there’ll be no regrets in your old age."
...
In the meantime, after twenty minutes of kissing, Chen Mo and Xiao Jiu finally separated.
Fearing that things might get out of hand, especially given the unsuitable location, Chen Mo pulled away.
Xiao Jiu looked at Chen Mo puzzled, as if to say, "There should still be ten minutes left."
"Later," Chen Mo whispered, kissing Xiao Jiu’s forehead, already considering her as his woman.
"Oh."
Even though it didn’t meet her expectations, Xiao Jiu was content with such a long kiss with her master.
She believed the day she’d become her master’s woman wasn’t far off.
...
When Zuoqiu Yiren came back out, she led them to choose a dwelling.
On the way, Zuoqiu Yiren remarked, "You certainly have the nerve, daring to act like that there."
Hearing this, the two of them felt embarrassed and didn’t know what to say.
Not long after.
"Alright, we’ve arrived. These are the best dwellings in the core area; feel free to choose."
