Chapter 7: What is meant by "Supreme Bone" and is it also a type of orthopedics?
Seeing that the Supreme Bone had finally quieted down, Dong Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew... finally done!"
Sensing the changes in the Supreme Bone within her body, Dong Yueying frowned in confusion.
She glanced at Dong Mo with disdain, then ran quickly towards the door like a thief. But as she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and, as if possessed, said something to Dong Mo behind her.
"Take care of yourself, don't die out there."
After saying that, she disappeared through the door without looking back. Only Dong Mo and Xiao Bai remained standing in the courtyard, watching her departing figure, completely bewildered.
Almost at the same time, Dong Yueying, who had just left the courtyard, was standing at the entrance of the alley, holding her burning cheeks and kicking the pebbles under her feet.
"Hmph... How could I say something like that to that guy?"
"Could it be... that I really care about him?"
However, as soon as such a thought came to mind, Dong Yueying shook her head and forcibly suppressed it.
"That kind of thing...how could it be! A disloyal and unfilial bastard like him should just die out there!"
"But he seems to really care about me..."
"Could it be... that he really considers me his younger sister?"
"Impossible. He's definitely not that kind of person!"
Recalling Dong Mo's smug face and his outrageous remarks, Dong Yueying gritted her teeth and cursed.
"That despicable Dong Mo! How dare he refuse my Supreme Bone!"
"Hmph! When he fails to form his core in a month, I'll definitely rush over and laugh at him."
"Then I'll make him kneel on the ground and beg me to give him the Supreme Bone!"
"Then I shoved the Supreme Bone deep into that guy's body, letting him know how powerful I am!"
When Dong Yueying thought of this, she couldn't help but picture Dong Mo kneeling pitifully in front of her, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up.
All worries vanished.
Just then, a delicate, exotic fragrance slowly drifted into her nostrils.
A luxurious carriage pulled by a dragon horse silently stopped in front of her.
Then a languid, melodious female voice drifted out from inside the car: "Hey? Little Yueying, why did you come out alone? Where's your brother?"
Upon seeing the carriage in front of her, Dong Yueying's smile vanished instantly. She pursed her lips, didn't answer, and went straight to lift the curtain and get into the carriage.
(Please remember 1219.m.k.com for the fastest chapter updates.)
As soon as Dong Yueying entered the carriage, she saw a beautiful young woman leaning against the soft snow fox fur seat.
The girl appeared to be about the same age as Dong Mo, with a graceful and delicate figure. A soft, pale yellow silk dress accentuated her slender waist, and her pink hair cascaded down to her shoulders.
Her eyes sparkled with a captivating charm.
If Dong Mo were present, he would recognize at a glance that this woman was his betrothed since childhood, the eldest daughter of the Lu family in the Western Wilderness—Lu Yanran.
Seeing Dong Yueying's sullen expression, Lu Yanran couldn't help but smile.
"Hmm? What happened? Didn't you reach an agreement?"
Dong Yueying nodded in a muffled voice, "Yeah... I didn't win the fight either, he defeated me."
Lu Yanran paused slightly, put away her joking expression, straightened up, and was about to get out of the car.
Seeing this, Dong Yueying grabbed Lu Yanran's hand.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
Lu Yanran said matter-of-factly, "What am I going to do? Of course I'm going to call your brother home! You know Dong Mo always listens to me."
"Since you can't persuade him, then I'll try."
Upon hearing this, Dong Yueying not only did not let go of her hand, but instead tightened her grip on it even more: "There's no need to go... He won't go with you."
Lu Yanran stopped what she was doing, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
Dong Yueying stammered, "I always feel... he seems a little different than before."
"Perhaps, he really can achieve Core Formation on his own without relying on his family."
After Dong Yueying said this, the car fell silent for a moment.
Lu Yanran leaned back on the soft couch, a meaningful smile curving her lips.
"Fine, since you've put it that way..."
"Then I shouldn't interfere too much. After all... this is a matter for your Dong family."
She then gently patted the side of the carriage, indicating to the driver.
"Shang Yu, let's start..."
As Lu Yanran finished speaking, the dragon horse pulling the carriage let out a series of long neighs, carrying the two of them into the air, and sped off towards the Dong family's location.
Lu Yanran gazed at the surging sea of clouds outside the window, her fingertips quietly twirling a strand of pink hair.
Hehe... Interesting, really interesting!
For Yueying to give him such a high evaluation, perhaps her fiancé has truly improved...
…………
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
That very night, fearing that things might get complicated if they waited too long, Dong Mo quickly helped Xiao Bai pack up their spirit stones and valuables, and they boarded a passenger spirit boat and left the Void City.
After all, given the Dong family's nature, who knows what might happen if he and Xiao Bai stayed in Xuming City any longer!
At this moment, inside the Lingzhou guest room.
[Purple Nether Sword: Yes, right there... Quickly use your great spiritual power to thoroughly nurture me...]
Oh my god...
Looking at the system pop-up window, he saw the vicious and lewd words that the Purple Nether Sword kept displaying.
Dong Mo, who was originally using his double pupil divine power to clear the blockages inside the spirit sword, felt utterly exasperated.
Although Dong Mo had roughly figured out the system and the Purple Nether Sword's routine after these days of adjustment, he still felt exhausted whenever he saw the Purple Nether Sword's aggressive words on the panel.
Because every time this sword popped out, it kept lowering the bar for his understanding of the world.
[Purple Nether Sword's favorability has increased. Purple Nether Sword thinks you are a hundred times better than that blockhead Xiao Bai. Being nurtured by you is simply a pleasure.]
Looking at the pop-up window in front of him, Dong Mo shook his head, then concentrated on preparing to attack the next node.
Just as Dong Mo was completely focused, Xiao Bai suddenly pushed open the previously closed cabin door: "Young Master! The ship owner said we'll arrive at Heming Mountain in another day!"
As Xiao Bai's voice rang out, Dong Mo, feeling guilty, almost instinctively hid the Purple Nether Sword behind his back.
Upon seeing the sudden interruption of the spiritual energy transmission, the Purple Nether Sword seemed to express its dissatisfaction, trembling violently.
Finally, Dong Mo slapped him hard, and he finally calmed down.
Xiao Bai and Dong Mo stared at each other in the room, the air thick with a suffocating silence.
"Hmm? What's wrong, young master? Are you alright?"
Xiao Bai blinked, feeling that the young master seemed a bit sneaky.
"Oh...no, it's nothing." Dong Mo tried to remain calm, but a layer of fine sweat seeped from his forehead.
"I understand, you can go now."
Xiao Bai hesitated for a moment, her gaze passing over Dong Mo's shoulder to his hand hidden behind his back: "Young Master, um... can I return the Purple Nether Sword to you?"
"Um..." Dong Mo hesitated, "I... need to use it for a while longer."
"Oh..." Xiao Bai pursed his lips, feeling a warm feeling welling up in his heart as he thought about how the young master had been nurturing his ancestral spirit sword day and night these past few days.
"Then please take your time, young master. There's no rush. I'll take my leave now."
"Um……"
The hatch closed gently. Dong Mo let out a long sigh, took the Purple Nether Sword from behind his back, and said in a low voice.
"Hmph! It's all your fault, we almost got exposed!"
[Purple Nether Sword: I couldn't resist~ Master, your spiritual power is so comfortable, it leaves me wanting more~]
Looking at the system pop-up window, Dong Mo sighed helplessly.
Speaking of which, he's been feeling a strange sense of guilt lately while nurturing the Purple Nether Sword.
That feeling... was not the same as the guilty conscience one felt when Ximen and Jinlian had an affair.
It's more like—secretly exchanging glances with the mistress, Zi Mingjian, right in front of the main wife.
Dong Mo shook his head violently, trying to shake these absurd thoughts out of his mind.
[Ding! The blockage in the Purple Nether Sword is being cleared. Current progress: 39%]
[Current Affection Level: Attachment.]
[Due to the Purple Nether Sword's current affinity level increasing to Attachment, the host is rewarded with the passive skill: Demonic Charm (Beginner)]
[Charm (Beginner): Greatly enhances the host's own charm and attractiveness to the target.]
Dong Mo looked at the reward description with a very complicated expression.
Eh... wait, what's the use of this skill?
What I need now is something that can improve my strength and actually help me reach the Core Formation stage. What's the use of just increasing my charm?
Moreover, the Supreme Bone has always been infatuated with me...
Now that you've enhanced my charm, won't that crazy guy burst out of my body the next time we meet? How am I supposed to meet Dong Yueying after that?
"Never mind, this ability is better than nothing."
Dong Mo shook his head and focused his mind to perceive his current cultivation level.
Thanks to the feedback he received from the Heavenly Nourishing Purple Nether Sword, Dong Mo's cultivation level has returned to the peak of Foundation Establishment, and the total amount of spiritual power in his body is already enough to break through to the Golden Core Realm.
However, he knew very well that with his depleted innate constitution, forcibly forming a core would only lead to failure, causing his cultivation to plummet back to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and the cycle would repeat itself endlessly.
If one cannot fill the fundamental deficiency, all efforts will ultimately be in vain.
Moreover, as time went on, my progress in mastering the Purple Nether Sword began to slow down.
On the very first day, Dong Mo was able to break through more than a dozen blocked points with the guidance of his double pupils.
In the past few days, we have only been able to clear four or five sections, and the difficulty will only increase as we go on.
After two days of procrastination, he finally increased his progress in mastering the Purple Nether Sword to 39%.
Moreover, these blockages become increasingly difficult to overcome as you move further along the road.
Dong Mo had roughly calculated that with his current cultivation level, if he could break through a maximum of fifteen more blockage nodes, he would be out of luck.
