Chapter 93: Hold Steady
“Alright then! If you want to keep it, that’s fine! Keeping this thing by your side can effectively improve cultivation efficiency!
I have another immortal medicine here, which I pre-selected for you! It’s called Immortal Spirit Violet Orchid. Eating it might bring unexpected gains…”
Saying that, Ling Mo took out an immortal medicine he had carefully selected himself. This one originally existed inside the Small Tower.
Ling Mo had searched for a long time to find this one, an immortal medicine targeted for Zhu Zhuqing’s Martial Soul.
The immortal medicines inside the Small Tower, most cannot be consumed because their level is too high. Ordinary people simply cannot withstand that impact.
But if it matches the Martial Soul, it can be absorbed!
Moreover, this immortal medicine’s medicinal effect is not the overbearing kind. It’s very suitable for Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing took the Immortal Spirit Violet Orchid, then found a spot and sat down! After eating the immortal medicine, she entered a meditation state.
At this time, most people had already entered the state. The most obvious effect was on Ning Rongrong! Ling Mo had vaguely discovered a slight change in her Martial Soul.
As for Tang San, he was still hesitating over which immortal medicine to choose!
“Xiao San, made your choice yet?” Ling Mo patted his shoulder and said!
“These immortal medicines are all top-tier premium ones, but to maximize their use, I need some time…”
“No rush. Treat these… as gifts for you! Most of them inside are deadly poison items, perfect for refining hidden weapons.”
Saying that, Ling Mo suddenly had an idea and continued, “Right, Xiao San, when I went out this time, I found a pretty good tomb. Preliminary calculation shows countless fine iron and strange metal inside. Interested in raiding it?”
“Hm? There’s such a good thing? And you thought of me?” Tang San questioned.
“What kind of thought is that? We’re brothers! When have I ever screwed you over?
You saying that really hurts my heart. All these years of emotion, turns out it was all wasted…”
Ling Mo said with snot and tears, convincing even Tang San.
But it still felt somehow off!
“Sorry, Xiao Mo, my bad! Where’s the tomb you mentioned? I’ll check it out another day…”
Tang San was currently short on strange metal. If it was really as Ling Mo said, he had to make the trip.
Little did he know, he had already fallen into Ling Mo’s scheme.
“The tomb I found is right above Spirit Hall. Head north into Star Luo Empire territory! A ruins site in the northwest direction.
There, there once existed a fallen sect, a powerful sect famous for blacksmithing. Easy to find…”
Saying that, Ling Mo told Tang San about the Haotian Sect ruins he had discovered last time.
Thinking back to Tang Hao pretending to be a ghost to scare him last time, Ling Mo grew angrier the more he thought about it.
So, his inner scheming side emerged, directly tricking Tang San into digging up his own family’s ancestral grave.
Who knows if Tang Hao would beat even his own son when he found out…
“Good, I’ll check it out another day. If it’s really as you say, I’ll split the haul with you half when I return…”
Tang San had almost no doubts, completely fooled by Ling Mo’s earlier performance.
“Good brother! Keep it up…”
Ling Mo held back his laughter, cheering Tang San on. Anyway, the words were out. Whether Tang San dug or not was his business. Even if Tang Hao was pissed, he’d have to stew in it.
“Haha, that’s hilarious!” Seeing Tang San go off to select immortal medicine, Ling Mo returned to Zhu Zhuqing’s side, nearly laughing himself to death.
The afternoon sun was exceptionally bright. A group sat under a big tree meditating, looking very serene.
Several teachers approaching from afar saw them still diligently cultivating during break and showed gratified smiles.
“Not bad, not bad. These kids are excellent…”
Full of emotion, they already knew Shrek Academy was about to become history, but there was no way around it!
At this time, among those who ate immortal medicine, the first to wake was Oscar. His absorption was relatively mild, with basically no fluctuations.
“Holy crap, I struck it rich!”
As soon as he woke, Oscar shouted loudly. Just as the sound rang out, a stone smashed hard onto his head.
“Ouch…”
Yelping in pain, Oscar clutched his head, at a loss. Seeing it was thrown by Ling Mo, he said aggrievedly, “Xiao Mo, why’d you hit me…”
“Keep it down. Everyone’s still absorbing immortal medicine. Don’t shout and disturb others…”
Ling Mo sat alone to the side, rolling his eyes at him.
“Sigh, Xiao Mo, do you know how many levels I gained?”
Oscar couldn’t care less, excitedly walking over and holding up five fingers.
“Five levels? Not bad, barely acceptable…”
“Holy crap, and that’s barely acceptable? Sure enough, can’t compare to you freaks. Too damaging to my self-esteem…”
“Get over it! Just five levels, what’s there to get excited about…”
Soon, the second person woke up! It was Ning Rongrong…
“How’d it go, Rongrong…”
Ling Mo watched her walk over holding her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. He had already seen that the tower in her hand had become nine layers. Perhaps she hadn’t noticed yet.
“Hehe, I’m level thirty now…”
Her sunny smile seemed very warm. Gradually opening up, she no longer had her previous spoiled air, instead more like a little fairy.
“Hehe, no rush. The immortal medicine’s medicinal effect is only half unleashed. After getting the third soul ring, it might rise a few more levels!”
Ling Mo said, then pointed at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in her hand and said, “Look at the tower in your hand. Doesn’t it have some subtle change?”
Oscar suddenly said, “Rongrong, Rongrong, quickly count how many layers your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda has.”
Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment, then noticed her pagoda. “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine! Nine? How? How did it become nine layers?”
Ning Rongrong only felt a surge of hot blood rush to her heart. At this moment, even her voice was trembling slightly. What did it mean for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda to become nine layers?
It meant this was no longer the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, but the legendary Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the lifelong goal of her father, Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School Sect Master Ning Fengzhi. And she had achieved it at this moment.
Unable to contain her excitement, Ning Rongrong looked at Ling Mo, then at Zhu Zhuqing behind her, feeling an urge to marry him.
Ning Rongrong suddenly pounced, giving Ling Mo a big hug. Her arms wrapped around his neck, planting a hard kiss on his face.
“Ling Mo, thank you, really thank you. I know two words of thanks are far from repaying your kindness to me, but I really don’t know what to say.
If you didn’t already have Zhu Qing, I would definitely chase you! Even though you’re pretty sleazy…”
Ling Mo: “…”
“Can you skip that last part?”
Ning Rongrong’s action completely caught Ling Mo off guard. Even Oscar was stunned, feeling a bit dejected.
“Hehe, no way. Consider this your compensation to me. Our past grudges are settled just like that…”
Ning Rongrong smiled happily, kissing Ling Mo on the face again. Anyway, Zhu Qing hadn’t woken yet and couldn’t see.
“Holy crap, that’s too much! I want a kiss back…”
Sticking to his principle of never taking a loss—always him teasing others, when had others ever teased him?
Ling Mo immediately wasn’t having it! But Ning Rongrong was prepared, slipping away first.
“Holy crap, you bratty girl! I took a huge loss…”
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing about to wake, Ling Mo suddenly felt like he had missed out on billions.
“Hehe, come get me if you dare! I’ll tell Zhu Qing you teased me…” Ning Rongrong said fearlessly, in an exceptionally good mood.
The appearance of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shattered all her previous views of Ling Mo. For the first time, she realized Ling Mo could be so handsome.
