At this moment, Ling Mo Xie looked at the already cleaned room, nodded in satisfaction, clasped his hands behind his back, and turned to walk towards the Hualan Pavilion.
Just outside the Hualan Pavilion, he heard a commotion. Ling Mo Xie furrowed his brows, wondering what was going on. Worried about Zhou Xinyi, he quickened his pace and entered, only to see two heavily made-up women standing in front of Zhou Xinyi, who looked timid like a frightened little rabbit.
"Hmph! You shameless servant! How dare you sit in my chair?" one of the women, dressed in a striking red gown with her shoulders slightly exposed and a fierce look in her eyes, said viciously as she raised her hand to strike Zhou Xinyi!
Ling Mo Xie let out a cold snort and swiftly appeared behind the woman, grabbing her wrist. With a strong pull, he yanked her away, causing her to fall to the ground.
He reached out and pulled the tearful Zhou Xinyi into his embrace, softly asking, "Xinyi, are you okay? Did she hurt you?"
"Woo woo, I-I didn't know that chair was hers! I really didn't know; I was just tired from standing," Zhou Xinyi explained with red eyes, pointing at a redwood chair upholstered with mink fur in the hall.
"Hmph! Don't be afraid! Even if it were her chair or even her house, she wouldn't dare touch you!" Ling Mo Xie comforted her while glaring fiercely at the woman in red.
The woman dressed in a pale yellow skirt nearby rushed over to help her up.
"Hehe," the woman chuckled lightly. "Little handsome guy, not bad looking! If you want me to let this slide, how about you come with me?"
"Seeking death!" Ling Mo Xie shouted angrily as three fireballs shot towards the woman like a barrage!
The woman had higher cultivation than Ling Mo Xie; she was at the initial stage of Enlightenment and relied on her strength to act so arrogantly. However, upon seeing Ling Mo Xie perform magic, her expression changed, and her confidence waned. She hurriedly formed a hand seal, summoning a water wall that rose to her height.
The fireballs sizzled as they struck the water wall one after another. At this point, Ling Mo Xie's fireball technique had reached minor mastery through repeated practice; its power was not weak. The three consecutive fireballs slammed against the water wall, pushing it back against the woman and sending her flying four or five feet before she landed heavily on her backside! She fell ungracefully onto the smooth and cold floor of the hall.
Seeing herself humiliated, the woman fumed and coldly huffed, "Ungrateful brat! I was trying to be nice to you!" She stood up and chanted a few incantations as three water arrows shot towards Ling Mo Xie in a triangular formation!
"Flattering me? A hideous woman like you, no one would want!" Ling Mo Xie mocked, wrapping his arm around Zhou Xinyi and using the skill "Chicken Flies and Dogs Jump" to dodge three water arrows as he dashed out the door, the hall echoing with cries of "Hideous woman! Hideous woman!"
The woman in red was furious, her long sleeves sweeping through the hall, scattering items everywhere as she shouted, "Damn little thief! Daring to call me ugly! This time it was my carelessness! You better pray to the heavens that you don't run into me again!"
"Xinyi, are you okay?" Once back in his courtyard, Ling Mo Xie finally let go of Zhou Xinyi and asked with concern. He had nearly been scared himself by the ferocity of that woman.
"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Zhou Xinyi replied, blushing as she took a step back. She felt suffocated standing too close to Ling Mo Xie.
"That's good! Take a look for yourself and move into whichever room you want!" Ling Mo Xie reassured Zhou Xinyi before returning to his own room to assess the rewards he had obtained and increase his strength. His situation in the Ling family was not optimistic; he was surrounded by enemies on all sides!
As a legitimate heir, he had the right to inherit the family head position. Although he didn't care much for it, his so-called brothers certainly did. They would only think that with Ling Mo Xie back, there was now another person competing with them for resources and the inheritance of the family head!
Even without considering these factors, he had already offended two early-stage Enlightenment practitioners within just one day of returning. If it weren't for that Red Fire Decision, he would have likely been badly beaten!
This realization made Ling Mo Xie's desire to improve his cultivation even more urgent!
Back in his room, he first opened his backpack. Inside were twenty spirit stones, eleven Experience Pills, three red bottles remaining after using some, seven blue bottles, and one recipe.
"Experience Pills!" Ling Mo Xie's eyes lit up; this was a great find! It would be essential for improving his cultivation!
He immediately consumed ten Experience Pills, watching his Experience points soar until he finally reached level seventeen. However, Ling Mo Xie soon realized that after reaching level twelve, every five levels only corresponded to a small tier within the cultivation system of this world. For example, to advance from early-stage Enlightenment to mid-stage Enlightenment, he needed to increase his cultivation by five levels!
"What a scam!" Ling Mo Xie initially felt pleased about jumping nine levels so quickly. But now realizing that his current cultivation only equated to early-stage Enlightenment left him feeling quite disheartened!
After taking a closer look at the Experience bar, there was still over a hundred Experience points needed to reach level eighteen. Ling Mo Xie decided to save the last Experience Pill. After all, leveling up would fully restore his state! This was essentially like gaining an extra life!
Imagine this: you are in a life-and-death battle with someone of similar cultivation, both of you exhausted and drained of spiritual energy. Suddenly, you level up and your state is fully restored! The thrill of it is almost unbelievable!
"Hehe!" Ling Mo Xie chuckled slyly, wiping away the drool that had trickled down. He then took out the Dan Recipe, and the System immediately prompted: "Do you wish to learn the Spring Breeze Rain Dan Recipe? Yes or No?"
"Is that even a question?" Ling Mo Xie scoffed and clicked 'Yes'!
With a chime, a flash of white light appeared, and the System notified Ling Mo Xie that he had learned the Spring Breeze Rain Dan Recipe, which could be used to refine the Spring Breeze Rain Dan in the Alchemy room.
Alchemy! Ling Mo Xie recalled the legendary alchemist from his past life, Taishang Laojun! The legendary Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir could grant instant immortality upon consumption! How enviable!
Eagerly, Ling Mo Xie clicked on an icon resembling an Alchemy furnace. Instantly, a scene of an Alchemy room projected into the space around him. In the center stood a purple-gold Alchemy furnace taller than a person, with cabinets on either side holding gourd containers for various elixirs. A traditional mat lay in front of the furnace, giving it an authentic feel reminiscent of legendary alchemists' workshops.
Of course, all of this was merely a projection; he could only look but not touch.
Ling Mo Xie focused his thoughts on the Alchemy furnace, and a selection menu appeared before him, displaying various elixirs. There were a total of nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine pages, leaving Ling Mo Xie astonished.
Unfortunately, only the first elixir, the Spring Breeze Rain Dan, had its icon lit up; all others were gray and unresponsive when clicked.
