CHAPTER 212: CHAPTER 116 EMPRESS: SHAMELESS LITTLE THIEF, NO FOOLING AROUND! (9K)_5

This is the final inheritance of the secret realm!

However, all the gifts of fate have already had their prices marked in secret.

While gaining the inheritance, one must also bear the cause and effect. With his current strength, he is not enough to control this Grotto Heaven.

The final outcome will be like that remaining consciousness, trapped within and unable to escape...

"It’s not too late to return after reaching Sainthood."

"For now, enhancing my strength is what matters most."

Chen Mo took out that Jade Scroll, and a prompt flashed before his eyes:

[Acquired Cultivation Technique: "Mixed Element Skill" Fragment.]

["Mixed Element Body Refining Technique" has transformed into "Mixed Element Furnace Skill", proficiency inherited.]

Suddenly, countless realizations surged into his Sea of Consciousness, and this Body Refining Technique underwent a complete transformation!

"The Mixed Element Skill consists of three fragments."

"The first part, Body Refining, Absorb Essence and Ignite the Furnace, True Fire Bone Forging."

"The second part, Refining Furnace, Internal Organs Cast Tripod, Acupoint Condensing Stars."

"The third part, Ascension, Spirit Body Transformation, Mixed Element United!"

"Ultimately, attain transcendence!"

Chen Mo operated the cultivation technique, and a rumbling sound echoed within him, divine lights shone through, illuminating his viscera and muscles with extraordinary clarity!

He appeared like a furnace made of jade stone!

Just with this second fragment, it was enough to cultivate up to the Heavenly Human Realm!

"The Xuantian Canglong Transformation has opened two more acupoints, to fill them completely with Blood Qi will require quite a few Alchemy Pills... Fortunately, I have the ’Green Lotus Pill Scripture’, so I can refine them myself."

"When I return, I’ll refine some Youthful Elixirs and give each of them a piece..."

Chen Mo thought to himself.

Then he took out an amber-like object, containing a jumping flame inside.

[Acquired Strange Item: Pure Source Spark.]

[After use, it can enhance the proficiency level of fire-type cultivation techniques or Divine Skills, and has a chance to transform.]

He crushed the amber with a bang, and the blazing light merged into his body, a "+" sign appeared behind the "Glazed Fire".

"Add point!"

[Host comprehends Flame Dao Rhyme.]

[Heavenly Rank Martial Technique "Glazed Fire" has transformed into Divine Skill "Glazed Flame", proficiency increased, current level is intermediate (1/2).]

Bang!

Seven-colored flames burst out, covering his whole body, the scorching heat almost searing the air!

However, the water in the bathtub didn’t change temperature at all!

Chen Mo spread his palm open, and a flame flowed like liquid, changing shapes at his will, even the temperature could be adjusted.

Thump, thump, thump —

Just as he was engrossed, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Chen Mo withdrew the flame and said: "Come in."

The door opened, and someone in a Moon White Daoist Robe entered.

"Mr. Chen..."

The words stopped abruptly.

Seeing the man soaking in the bathtub, Ling Ningzhi had a slightly stiff expression, then turned away.

"Mr. Chen should put on clothes first."

"Sorry, I thought it was Zhixia..."

Chen Mo was slightly embarrassed.

He got up and stepped out of the bathtub, drying the moisture with steam, and put on his clothes.

"Ahem, all done."

Only then did Ling Ningzhi turn around.

The two of them sat down at the table, and Chen Mo asked: "What is it that the Daoist sought me for?"

After pondering for a moment, Ling Ningzhi said: "During the first trial in the Secret Realm, there were two Immortal Materials in the Medicine Mountain. Did Mr. Chen take them?"

"Immortal Materials?"

Chen Mo said: "Is the Daoist referring to the Heavenly Heart Mist Grass and the Golden Thread Stone Flower?"

Ling Ningzhi’s eyes lit up, "It’s indeed with Mr. Chen! As long as you are willing to part with it, whether it’s a Magical Treasure or Spiritual Marrow, just name it..."

Chen Mo tapped his fingers on the table, shaking his head: "You should know the value of these two Immortal Materials. Treasures that can extend life are enough to make a Saint chase after them, can’t be measured by just Spiritual Marrow."

Ling Ningzhi certainly understood.

The Heavenly Heart Grass has not surfaced more than ten times till now, and the Golden Thread Stone Flower blooms only once every two cycles of sixty years.

Saying they are priceless treasures is not an exaggeration!

Moreover, these are the raw materials for refining the Creation Golden Pill, which has fatal attraction for those great powers whose life is nearing its end! They would pay any price!

Ling Ningzhi looked earnest and said: "This item is extremely important to this poor Taoist, whatever request Mr. Chen has, I will do my utmost to fulfill!"

Chen Mo raised his eyebrow slightly, "Any request will do?"

Ling Ningzhi was stunned, silent for a long while, and said in a low voice: "The body is just a shell, if it can save my grandfather’s life, what does it matter to entrust it to Mr. Chen? But have you considered how much harm this would cause Zhixia?"

?

Chen Mo frowned, "Who wants your body?"

Ling Ningzhi looked puzzled, "Then what does Mr. Chen mean?"

"I can give you the Immortal Materials, but you must first show your sincerity."

Chen Mo took out the Creation Gold Contract, immersed his mind, quickly penned the content, and then placed it in front of Ling Ningzhi.

Ling Ningzhi looked at the words on the contract paper, her pretty face flushed red instantly, eyes widened.

[Fairy Rule No.1: At any time and any place, do not defy the master’s order...]

"Mas, mas, master?!"

...

...

Tiandu City, Yangxin Palace.

The Empress, dressed in a black qipao with black silk stockings on her legs, stood in front of the bronze mirror, admiring her graceful figure.

She was particularly fond of this outfit and specially asked the Clothing Bureau to replicate several pieces, wearing different colors every day.

"I must say, the clothes designed by Chen Mo are indeed top-notch, even Yang Fengyu from the Clothing Bureau praised them."

But thinking of what happened before, her beautiful oval face immediately darkened.

"That shameless little thief not only harassed this palace from inside the wardrobe but even told Yu Youhan about it!"

"Probably knowing that this palace is going to punish him, he’s hiding, hasn’t even been to the Government, vanished for several days..."

"Hmph, you may avoid the first, but you can’t avoid the fifteenth, this palace won’t let this go!"

The Empress stomped her foot in anger, large ripples surging on her chest.

Tap, tap, tap —

At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps sounded.

Soon after, the voice of Sun Senior Palace Lady came: "Reporting to Your Highness, there is news of Hundred Households Chen."

"Oh?"

The Empress raised her delicate eyebrows, sneering: "Finally couldn’t hide anymore? Hmph, bring him into the palace, and we’ll settle all old and new scores together!"

Sun Senior Palace Lady whispered: "Hundred Households Chen might not be able to come for a while, as he is currently in the Donghua Region."

The Empress was stunned on hearing this, puzzled: "Why did he go to the Donghua Region? Solving a case doesn’t require going that far, right?"

Sun Senior Palace Lady said: "From what the servant understands, Hundred Households Chen went to Cangyun Mountain to seize an opportunity, and he even revealed the golden medallion in public, killing a Sky Scale Guard’s Sixth Rank officer, who was Jian Yinsan previously demoted..."

???

The Empress’s expression froze.

After recovering, her bosom slightly heaved.

"This palace knew that giving him the golden medallion wouldn’t result in anything good!"

"The moment I take my eyes off him, he’s up to mischief... How can this little thief not let this palace have some peace of mind?!"
