Chapter 208: Releasing Du Xingsun
Chapter 208: Releasing Du Xingsun
Wang Huan sank into the earth with the portrait.
Li Mo put away the Dragon Herb and gazed with the Celestial Eye at the Farmer God Cauldron.
The cauldron was carved out of plain stone, but after constant refining of immortal herbs, it released an incredible scent. Using it in refining pills would improve the herbs effect. As for boosting their grade, that only happened to low-grade herbs.
The cauldron hardly interested Li Mo. Whether refined for its essence or not wouldnt matter since it would end with the same result.
Dragon Herb had the bloodline of dragons within it. It was priceless. Any creature of dragon descent taking the herb would gain awareness as well as half a millennia of demon qi.
So thats why
Li Mo exclaimed when his Celestial Eye landed on the Farmer God Cauldron.
Dragon Herb was valuable, but not to humans. And Farmer God Cauldrons effect of rising a plants potency was also of little import. By Li Mos assessment, these items couldnt compare to the items offered in the Experts Alliances base, not to mention headquarters.
Sending two inspection teams showed how much the headquarters valued them, but Farmer God Cauldrons use was far too little compared to the price paid to get it.
The true value of the cauldron lied in the immortal herb remnants within its walls.
Li Mo absorbed them from the Farmer God Cauldron and in two hours he was finding himself holding a fingernail-sized bead of Hundred Immortal Herb Pill.
If a common man took in the remnant of an immortal herb, it would cure all his ailments and extend his life by two decades. While a cultivator would have his cultivation advance by ten years and his lifespan by a decade.
Was this the real reason behind sending two inspection teams? Just for this pill?
Li Mo pondered for a moment before putting the essence back into the Farmer God Cauldron.
While others regarded the Hundred Immortal Herbs Pill like a heavenly treasure, Li Mo shunned it.
Only allowed onAn immortal herb that extended life was a one-time deal. If this was truly a Hundred Immortal Herbs Pill, it should extend ones life by a century and cultivation by half of that.
With longevity immortal herbs, it only worked the first time, while a second time would be pointless.
The past Li Mo who fled in the universe had once encountered a nameless ancient planet filled with immortal herbs as far as the eyes could see.
If he ever needed a true Hundred Immortal Herbs Pill for bonus years, hed just have to make a trip to that ancient planet and fetch some.
Li Mo put the Farmer God Cauldron and Dragon Herb in the Star Ring and began refining the Underworld Stone.
Getting rid of the needless bits from it and leaving the essence, he integrated that into his magic weapon.
The process of refining the Underworld Stone took far less than with memory metal, just under four hours.
Li Mo held Underworld Stone in one hand, and his magic weapon in the other.
When morning came, everything settled down. Whether the Wang Estate knew the Dragon Herb and Farmer God Cauldron were missing, it didnt show it.
Zheng Huahu and Zheng Hualong began searching the Wang Estate, having free reign just like Wang Yexing said.
The result, the search just started and the place was thrown in chaos.
Zheng Huahu found Wang Yexings little sister, Wang Lan, quite fast in her chambers. The beautifully aged Wang Lan was all Zheng Huahus urges dreamed of enjoying. His nasty habit sprung and he was on her in a flash. But a flash could only last so long, learning Wang Lan had quite the sharp thorns, sending a precise kick to his tenders out of rage.
The kick had such an impact Zheng Huahu was sent so deeply into a coma that even Zheng Hualongs Human Origin Pill couldnt bring him back.
On the second day, Zheng Huahu woke up and screamed bloody murder the instant he checked below his belt.
He found himself robbed of a humans most basic instinct.
On the fourth day, Li Mo took his leave. With the items on hand, there was no point dallying in the Wang Estate.
Lin Qingrou didnt choose to go with, out of fear. She had been constantly dodging Li Mo these days as well.
Huanglong Mountain, time-space rupture.
Li Mo came to visit Du Xingsun.
You improve so fast. Its been just a few months since we saw each other and yet here you are, my equal.
Du Xingsun was shocked by Li Mos progress.
By the way, my disciple told me you have a way of getting me out of this accursed place. Is that true? Du Xingsun had long grown tired of spending more than an eternity alone in this place.
There sure is, but the outside worlds law will reject you. If you do not stay within my array, your freedom will be short-lived.
Deaths is death! It wont matter!
Du Xingsun jumped before Li Mo, extremely enticed, Staying in this wretched place is worse than dying. Id die happy if only I can go out in the world!
Alright. But you need to agree to my terms before I take you.
Just say it.
First, obey the laws of my world. Dont go around using spiritual qi and break the law.
Got it!
Second, the universes races are about to descend. I ask that you lend your strength when the time comes.
Got it!
Regardless of demands, Du Xingsun had the same answer for everything. He truly wanted out.
Li Mo nodded and took out the Staff of Origin.
Hum~
Ten minutes later, Li Mo and Du Xingsun were out.
Crack~
The time-space rupture behind them vanished in smoke.
Im out, Im finally out!
Du Xingsun jumped in joy, then sank into the earth. It hadnt been five seconds and he came right back out. He kept jumping in and out of the earth like a kid in an amusement park.
But thankfully, he returned at some point to Li Mo with a giggle.
Is it me or that staff of yours affects time and space?
Li Mo nodded.
I sense the spiritual qi of your world is slowly wasting away.
Du Xingsun cocked his head at Li Mo, If you give the staff to me, will I be able to ignore the law of this world?
Yes.
Du Xingsuns eyes roamed around for a while, then snickered, It looks like Ill be glued to you from now on.
Is there a village at the foot of this mountain? Im just to take a look. Be right back!
Ignoring everything Li Mo said, Du Xingsun vanished back into the ground.
Ten seconds later, Du Xingsun popped into the village, his sharp eyes scanned the place for his target.
A fifteen-year-old lass.
Du Xingsun drooled and sprung infatuated at the locked target. But then his vision swoon, finding Li Mo before him.
Li Mo sighed, Youd do anything when trapped, but now that youre out you show your true self. Im truly disappointed, Du Xingsun.
Heres my magic treasure!
Du Xingsun threw the golden Immortal Binding Rope, rooting Li Mo in place.
When in anothers home, one should lower their heads. I understand that better than anyone. You got me out, but not with your power and with the staff instead. Wielding that staff, Ill never have to fear losing my spiritual qi again! He-he-he, in this age where magic is lost, wont the immortal me have nothing to fear? Wont I be able to do everything I want?
You only have your stupidity to blame for this, he-he-he! Du Xingsun reached for Li Mo.
Bang!
Space fell apart all around him.
Li Mo still had the Immortal Binding Rope tight around him, but the world changed.
Du Xingsun found the village gone, replaced with the barren Huanglong Mountain.
Whats going on?
Du Xingsun was stunned.
In his shocked state, the Immortal Binding Rope moved away from Li Mo and wound around him.
Why is it around me? Let go I say!
Du Xingsun roared, but the Immortal Binding Rope wasnt listening. The more he urged it to let go the tighter it got
Spare me, brother. I was wrong! In seconds, Immortal Binding Rope squeezed so hard, his flesh started poking between the binds. Du Xingsun screamed in fright.
Li Mos eyes were filled with disappointment at Du Xingsun.
