23: Section 23

Whenever the medicinal power of a second-grade Qi Replenishing Pill was fully digested, he would immediately swallow another one, repeating this cycle.

In the blink of an eye,

ten days had already passed.

On this day, Chu Mo swallowed another Qi Replenishing Pill and was cultivating his Body Tempering technique as usual to improve his cultivation.

Suddenly,

the Spiritual Qi within his body surged violently, like an uncontrolled torrent.

But Chu Mo showed no panic; instead, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.

He immediately stopped Cultivating, then took out his Qing Suo Sword, and with a flash of sword light, he cut his finger.

A drop of crimson blood was squeezed out!

Under the sunlight outside,

it was clearly visible that this drop of blood was condensed and did not disperse, extremely heavy, and when it fell to the ground, it made a metallic sound like a steel ball dropping.

“Blood like mercury, condensed and not dispersing!”

“This is clearly… the sign of True Spirit Perfection!”

A bright light appeared in Chu Mo’s eyes.

Martial Artists are a Realm of transformation!

Especially in the major Physical Body Realms, Body Forging, True Spirit, and Tongxuan, these three Realms are all processes of gradual transformation!

Now, with True Spirit Perfection,

if a drop of his blood were to be infused into an ordinary person’s body, it would cause their blood vessels to burst instantly, leading to death!

“The Body Forging Realm tempers the bones of the entire body; when one’s movements produce the roar of a tiger or leopard, that is the sign of Body Forging Perfection, thus entering the True Spirit level!”

“True Spirit refines blood and simultaneously opens the Dantian within the body, nourishing a mouthful of Origin Qi. Once the blood is like mercury and the Origin Qi is vigorous, one can, in one go, condense the Qi Sea in the Dantian and enter Tongxuan!”

Thinking of this,

Chu Mo immediately intended to break through the Realm in one go.

However, at this moment, he suddenly sensed a fluctuation from the warning Formation outside the wooden house.

Someone was visiting!

After a moment’s thought, Chu Mo suppressed the restless Origin Qi and walked out of the quiet room.

…

“Junior Brother Chu, my name is Chen Xuan, and these two beside me are my Junior Brothers; both are currently Inner Sect Disciples.”

In the courtyard,

the young woman standing in front of Chu Mo was introducing herself.

Beside her stood two young Martial Artists.

The strength of all three was not weak; they all had Realms of True Spirit Realm eighth or ninth stage.

“Pleased to meet you.”

Chu Mo nodded to the three of them, then looked at the woman in the center and asked directly, “Senior Sister Chen, is there something you need from me this time?”

“I apologize for my abrupt visit and hope you can forgive any rudeness.”

The woman named Chen Xuan first apologized, then said, “I came because I heard Junior Brother Chu is about to be promoted to Inner Sect Disciple, so I wanted to invite you to join my Chen Family and become a Guest Elder!”

“Sorry, I have no such intention.”

Chu Mo refused without hesitation.

“Don’t be so quick to refuse.”

Chen Xuan said, “Junior Brother Chu, you may not know, but many Inner Sect Disciples, apart from those who already have Family power, mostly serve as Guest Elders in other Families and powers. This not only enhances the relationship between fellow Senior and Junior Brothers but also allows them to obtain more Cultivation resources.”

“Junior Brother Chu is now also a True Spirit Realm Martial Artist. You must know that at this Realm, if one is not a True Disciple with outstanding Aptitude, it is truly difficult to advance, because the resources consumed are simply too terrifying.”

“If one cannot obtain many resources, they will remain mediocre in the future… Living in a Holy Land, who would be willing to be mediocre?”

At this point, Chen Xuan paused, then added, “Junior Brother Chu, please rest assured, I definitely came with sincerity!”

“As long as you agree, my Chen Family will provide five thousand Spirit Stones as tribute each year. If you advance to True Spirit seventh stage or above, it can increase to ten thousand Spirit Stones!”

“And if you reach the Tongxuan Realm, it will be thirty thousand Spirit Stones annually!”

“Furthermore,”

“all the Cultivation resources you need, the Chen Family can help you find, and all you need to do is to lend a hand when the Chen Family needs it!”

“We can guarantee that we will only ask you to act once a year at most, and we will also provide certain compensation… What do you think?”

Chapter 20: Refusing Recruitment, Grand Competition Approaching!

Chen Xuan and the two others left the wooden house.

After the Formation was reactivated, enveloping the wooden house once more,

the young Martial Artist who had been following Chen Xuan and had not spoken the entire time finally couldn’t suppress his internal anger.

“This Chu Mo is truly rude!”

“We three Inner Sect Disciples visited him repeatedly, and after he finally returned, he only made us sit in the courtyard and didn’t even offer a single drop of water!”

“Even more infuriating is that Senior Sister Chen, you offered such generous terms, yet this person refused without hesitation. He truly doesn’t know what’s good for him!”

The two young Martial Artists snorted coldly, their words expressing strong displeasure towards Chu Mo.

Chen Xuan also felt a little displeased in her heart.

However, she was ultimately rational. Hearing her two Junior Brothers’ words, she merely shook her head and said, “He has the right to refuse, after all, and we cannot force him.”

“That’s true, but this Chu Mo is too rude; he clearly doesn’t put us in his eyes!”

One young Martial Artist was still somewhat indignant.

“Alright, alright, let’s not bother with Chu Mo anymore. Let’s go find the next Junior Brother to recruit!”

Chen Xuan waved her hand and said.

“Exactly! There are tens of thousands of Outer Sect Disciples, and he’s not the only one being promoted to Inner Sect Disciple this time… If he doesn’t agree, someone else will.”

“Yeah, he’ll regret it later.”

The two Junior Brothers said,

and then followed Chen Xuan as she left the place.

…

“Young Master, why did you refuse?”

After sending the three away, Su Lian Yue asked somewhat puzzled, “That’s at least several thousand Spirit Stones a year! You could buy so many Medicinal Pills and Cultivation resources with that!”

“I refused because I don’t value it,”

Chu Mo explained.

Leaving aside the fact that the price offered by the other party was not enough to tempt Chu Mo, more importantly, he was not acquainted with Chen Xuan and did not know her background, so how could he blindly serve as a Guest Elder?

More importantly,

his goal this time was to become a True Disciple, not the Inner Sect Disciple that Chen Xuan assumed.

If Chu Mo truly had mediocre Aptitude, becoming an Inner Sect Disciple would already be a blessing, and for future considerations, he might have agreed.

But he possesses a Golden Finger, and now already has the bearing of a Prodigy.

And it is foreseeable that as his cultivation strength continues to grow, his future talent will be even more terrifying, and his achievements will be even higher.

In such a situation, why would he care about the resources of a mere small Family Guest Elder?

What’s more,

once Chu Mo becomes a True Disciple, he will belong to the core sequence.

The Holy Land will definitely invest a large amount of resources to Cultivate him, so he will basically not lack Cultivation resources. Even if he does, it will definitely not be something a mere Chen Family can provide.

Under these circumstances,

how could he abandon his ‘clean slate’ in the eyes of the Holy Land’s high-level officials and instead get entangled with some unclear force, which might even bring him trouble?

Therefore, he maintained a stance of refusal from beginning to end.

These thoughts merely flashed through his mind.

Chu Mo looked at Su Lian Yue, who was somewhat bewildered by his words, and couldn’t help but rub her head, then said in a half-joking tone, “What’s more, your Young Master is an unparalleled Prodigy. His future goal is to become the Taichu Holy Son, and a mere Chen Family is not worthy of me!”

At this moment,

if any other Martial Artist were here and heard Chu Mo’s words, they would definitely scoff.

A mere Outer Sect Disciple, with a cultivation of only the True Spirit Realm,

actually dared to speak so arrogantly, aiming to become the Taichu Holy Son?
