22: Section 22

Taking this opportunity, Chu Mo checked her information.

“Name”: Su Lian Yue

“Realm”: Body Forging Realm Ninth Level

“Fate”: Empress Reincarnation (Gold), Alluring Beauty (Gold)

“Destiny”: Protagonist Halo (Gold), Daughter of Destiny (Gold), Prosperous for Husband (Gold), Sharpness Concealed (Gold)…

“Life Script”: (Protagonist of “True Phoenix Empress”)

“Affection”: 55

“Recent Turning Point”: One month later, she will participate in the Outer Sect Talent Test, shedding her ordinary facade to reveal extraordinary Aptitude, and will be appointed as the Saintess by the Holy Land’s Sect Master, soaring to prominence thereafter.

…

Seeing the affection level rise directly from 45 to 55, a smile appeared on Chu Mo’s face.

All his previous actions were intentional.

Although Su Lian Yue was a Daughter of Destiny with unparalleled Fate, she had not yet revealed it.

In her past, she had always lived alone.

She had never experienced the feeling of being cared for or relied upon.

As for Chu Mo,

He first tested her with a head pat, and after her subconscious resistance, he attracted her attention with a topic, then took out the bracelet and, with an undeniable gesture, directly helped her put it on.

These actions seemed domineering and unquestionable.

Yet, they precisely gave Su Lian Yue a sense of security she had never had before.

Thus,

The distance between them was invisibly shortened, and affection naturally increased.

“The affection level is now over halfway; it won’t be long until I fully conquer her!”

Chu Mo was in a great mood.

It only took a Yellow Rank bracelet worth 1000 Spirit Stones to increase her affection by 10 points—it was too worthwhile!

If he had waited until Su Lian Yue completely awakened and revealed her extraordinary Aptitude,

Let alone a mere Yellow Rank bracelet, even giving her a Heaven Rank supreme treasure probably wouldn’t have caused any ripple in her mood.

“However…”

“How did Su Lian Yue’s cultivation improve so quickly?”

At this moment,

Chu Mo suddenly noticed her Realm and showed surprise.

Chapter 19: Cultivating in Seclusion, True Spirit Perfection, Guests Arrive

Before he left the Holy Land, Su Lian Yue was only at Body Forging Realm Fourth Level, but now she had already reached Body Forging Realm Ninth Level.

How long had it been?

Less than ten days!

Chu Mo asked, “How did your cultivation improve so quickly?”

“I’m not sure either. I just find that my cultivation improves for no reason every time I wake up.”

Su Lian Yue was also a little confused.

“Her Realm improves for no reason after waking up?”

Chu Mo was stunned.

But then, he seemed to recall something and asked, “Have you encountered anything special during this period?”

Su Lian Yue subconsciously shook her head, but then quickly nodded.

This made Chu Mo confused, not knowing what she meant.

“I don’t know if this counts as special.”

Su Lian Yue seemed a little embarrassed, but still said, “Recently, I’ve been dreaming every time I sleep. In my dreams, I become a very beautiful woman. She has a very high status and is very strong. She seems to be in a very mysterious place, with a terrifying True Phoenix phantom behind her.”

“Dreaming?”

Listening to Su Lian Yue’s description, Chu Mo was first stunned, then understood.

According to her “Recent Turning Point” description, she would shed her ordinary facade and reveal her Aptitude during the Outer Sect Great Competition.

Now that the time was approaching, her Fate was likely gradually recovering, and her Prodigy Aptitude was slowly revealing itself. By the time of the Outer Sect Great Competition, her talent would probably fully bloom.

At this moment,

Su Lian Yue suddenly said with some panic, “Young Master, have I been possessed by an extraterrestrial demon? I heard that many Martial Artists’ strength suddenly soars after being possessed by demons.”

Worry appeared on her face.

“What nonsense are you thinking?”

Chu Mo couldn’t help but laugh, comforting her, “With your Realm and strength, how could an extraterrestrial demon possibly take an interest in you?”

Su Lian Yue thought about it and indeed felt that was true.

So, she relaxed.

…

Next, the two chatted for a while longer.

It’s worth mentioning that during this time, Su Lian Yue brought up something.

While Chu Mo was out, several Inner Sect Disciples had come looking for him, but since Chu Mo wasn’t there at the time, they had to leave disappointed.

This surprised Chu Mo.

Although he had been in the Holy Land for over twelve years, he had always Cultivated by himself and didn't interact much with other Disciples in the sect.

Why would someone come looking for him?

“Perhaps someone saw my considerable strength and thought I might be able to advance to the Inner Sect, so they came to build a good relationship in advance!”

After thinking about it, Chu Mo felt that this was the only possibility.

Afterward, he no longer cared.

After deepening his relationship with Su Lian Yue, Chu Mo immediately entered a state of seclusion.

There were still half a month until the Outer Sect Great Competition.

Seizing this last opportunity, he wanted to further improve his strength, preferably reaching the Tongxuan Realm before then—although with his current talent, his Realm and strength had no impact on him becoming a True Disciple; it was almost a sure thing.

But Chu Mo still wanted his Realm to be higher.

After all, the True Disciples of Taichu Holy Land were all top Prodigies.

Both their talent and Aptitude were considered top-notch.

And their Realm and strength were basically already in the Great Divine Power Realm.

If Chu Mo’s Realm was too weak, it would ultimately look bad on the surface.

What’s more,

For Chu Mo, the True Disciple sequence was just a stepping stone.

His ultimate goal was the Taichu Holy Son!

…

Inside the quiet room,

Chu Mo sat cross-legged.

He took out a bottle of Medicinal Pills from his Storage Pouch and directly swallowed them.

As soon as the Medicinal Pills entered his mouth, they immediately rolled into his abdomen, and a rich medicinal power spread out, integrating into his limbs and bones.

“Absorb!”

Chu Mo immediately activated the Taichu Body Tempering Method, rapidly absorbing the energy contained within the Medicinal Pills.

A large amount of Spiritual Qi was also attracted, flowing into his body through all his pores and limbs. For a moment, he heard the sound of Spiritual Qi surging within his Meridians, like a surging sea, a mighty river, flowing endlessly, constantly washing over him.

Under these circumstances,

His strength was rapidly increasing.

…

For the rest of the time,

Chu Mo devoted himself wholeheartedly to Cultivating day and night.
