95: Chapter 95 Soul-Transforming Needle

"Whew."

"Come, come, Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Tong, hurry and taste this."

"This is the Green Spirit Sheep from the Spirit Beast Valley."

"Strange to say, when it saw me, it just died without any illness. I suppose it must have died of excitement upon seeing a Nascent Soul True Lord like me."

"Let me tell you, this mutton hotpot, combined with the vermicelli made from tianfeng bean, is absolutely superb."

"By the way, where have you two been lately? You haven't appeared for so long."

It could only be said that Zhao Mo was a loser through and through. Even after Transmigration to the Xianxia world and achieving the status of a Nascent Soul True Lord, he still hadn't changed his loser nature.

After feeling that the tianfeng bean was like a potato, the first thing he thought of was mutton hotpot.

Tong Weiping's face darkened.

"Meeting you two is the unluckiest thing that has happened to me in eight lifetimes."

"Following a Soul Transformation Ancestor like you, I've been chased by a group of hags for over a year."

"I finally returned, and before I could have two days of peace, I was cornered again and demanded to pay for the sheep."

"I am completely dumbfounded."

"Junior Brother Zhao, this Green Spirit Sheep was the mount that Junior Brother Yun Yi, the Master of the Spirit Beast Valley, had raised for over a hundred years. He hadn't even ridden it once, and you stewed it!"

"What's the matter, are other Spirit Beasts not tasty?"

"Why did you have to eat this one?"

"And 'died without illness,' 'died of excitement,' my foot. I think in the Xuan Sect, besides him, your face is the thickest."

Tong Weiping watched Li Feng gorging himself, and his anger flared even more.

"Eat less. Look at other Soul Transformation Ancestors; they are either Cultivating or in seclusion. You, on the other hand, spend all day craving these mundane worldly things. When will you ever achieve immortality?"

"It is truly Heaven being blind to let you become a Soul Transformation."

One didn't know what Tong Weiping had experienced with Li Feng over this past year; the level of resentment was beyond Zhao Mo's imagination.

"Don't eat it all, leave some for me."

After complaining for a long time, Tong Weiping finally joined the scramble for food.

"Hiss~"

"Is this Golden Sand Spirit Pepper? Isn't this stuff used to make Explosive Flame Pills? You're using it to eat?"

The Green Spirit Sheep meat had been sliced by Zhao Mo into pieces as thin as paper. After a quick dip in the soup, the taste was superb.

Tong Weiping stopped complaining and joined in the gorging, as if it hadn't been him speaking just a moment ago.

"After Cultivating for several hundred years, this is the first time I've eaten something like this."

"Junior Brother Zhao, what is in that head of yours?"

"It's a pity. The Xuan Sect only had this one Green Spirit Sheep. Once eaten, it's gone," Zhao Mo said regretfully.

He had put quite a lot of effort into this mutton hotpot meal.

After they were full and satisfied, Li Feng, who had been silent all along, said: "According to the Sect Master's requirements, I need to establish a new peak, called Sword Peak."

"Junior Brother Zhao, do you want to come and help?"

"No, no, what help can I provide? I know nothing about the Dao of the Sword. Should I go and teach people how to plant golden marrow fruit? Wouldn't that be a laughingstock?"

"I won't go," Zhao Mo said, shaking his head.

He was worthy of being the first in the Xuan Sect to achieve Soul Transformation through the Dao of the Sword. Establishing his own independent peak was not much different from founding a new sect.

"Since Junior Brother Zhao is unwilling to come to Sword Peak to help me, please keep the spirit flowers of Heartless Valley in mind. Resolving this matter early would be a huge help to me."

Zhao Mo looked at Li Feng. He had thought this matter was over, but he didn't expect it to still be unresolved.

Did those female Cultivators have to be so stubborn?

Cultivation is for Cultivation; what's with the obsession with flowers?

"As long as Junior Brother Zhao helps me get past this hurdle, I will go through fire and water without hesitation in the future."

"Sigh! If you can help him, just help him," Tong Weiping sighed.

"I am about to enter seclusion, so I really have no ability to help."

"Alright then."

Since Li Feng and Tong Weiping had both said so, Zhao Mo could only agree.

However, he really had no clue at all right now.

【You completed the spirit field clearing, EXP + 20.】

【You completed the spirit field plowing, EXP + 20.】

The golden marrow fruit had begun its new year of cultivation, and the Spiritual Root in Zhao Mo's fourth-grade spirit field had finally fully sprouted.

It had over a dozen leaves, the color of grey jade.

It was currently only as high as his calf, and it was still impossible to tell what kind of spirit plants it was.

"Five Elements Life Transformation Art."

A five-colored light appeared on the Yao Beast corpse that Zhao Mo had brought out, and after a moment, it turned into powdery fertilizer.

【You completed the fourth-grade spirit field fertilizing, EXP + 30.】

This Five Elements Life Transformation Art was called by Zhao Mo the strongest composting technique in history, completely avoiding the embarrassment of messing with food scraps as before.

...

Fuyu Peak.

The bell rang six times, which meant that a Nascent Soul True Lord of the Liu clan had passed away of old age.

In the Liu clan's ancestral temple, the newly added spirit tablet clearly bore the name: Position of Nascent Soul True Lord Liu Yaozhen.

Yin Kingdom.

This was the largest kingdom within the scope of the Xuan Sect, with a population of over a hundred million and countless cities.

"True Lord, this is the Tianxuan Palace of the Liu clan in the Yin Kingdom."

"Mm, understood."

The clouds and mist dispersed, revealing the true face inside, which was none other than Liu Yaozhen, who was supposed to have perished.

The graveyard; this place was not far from Tianxuan Palace.

But it was rarely visited, because this was a graveyard, and no one knew how many people who died accidentally were buried here every day.

The resentment here soared to the sky, but Liu Yaozhen strolled leisurely, arriving unhurriedly in front of a seemingly ordinary stone.

"Gate of the Netherworld, where Yin Qi gathers, where souls rely, obey my command, open~"

Liu Yaozhen's voice sounded as if it came from the Nine Netherworlds, cold and stiff.

As the incantation was completed, a faint black mist gathered from all around to the stone. Then, the surface of the stone began to shimmer with a ghostly blue light, slowly splitting to the sides, revealing a dim passage.

Liu Yaozhen did not hesitate and stepped directly into the passage.

After he entered, the stone returned to its original state, showing no signs that anyone had been there.

"Soul-Dissolving Needle, made with profound iron essence as Materials, added with Netherworld Grass, and refined with Nine Netherwater, specifically to break one's Karma and destroy one's Cultivation."

In this Immortal Cave that the Liu clan had accidentally discovered, there were Netherworld Grass and Nine Netherwater.

"After forty-nine days, the results will be seen."

Several months passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Mo was fighting the Demon Worms in the spirit field.

It was laughable to say that these Demon Worms were now ranked among the top ten unsolved mysteries of the Xuan Sect, because as long as one planted spirit plants that came from Zhao Mo, one had to fight them. The most infuriating part was that their lair could never be found.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Mo held an iron stake and poked around in the spirit field every year just like them, the Cultivators of the Xuan Sect would have suspected whether these Demon Worms were being raised by Zhao Mo.

"Done."

"Gained another three hundred and eighty EXP."

Next, he would just wait for the golden marrow fruit harvest.

As for that fourth-grade spirit field, it had finally reached three meters in height, but it showed no signs of stopping.

Zhao Mo did not intervene either, becoming idle. While he was idle, Liu Yaozhen outside of Tianfeng Valley was about to go crazy.

"This guy is too much of a shut-in."

Since he had refined the Soul-Dissolving Needle, two months had passed, and Zhao Mo hadn't even left Tianfeng Valley.

What made Liu Yaozhen even more speechless was the Formation of Tianfeng Valley.

"Who set this up?"

"A tiny Tianfeng Valley, and it actually uses such an Advanced Formation."

He couldn't break it.
