Chapter 738 - 277: Saintess Gu: I Will Help Lord Take Down Master! White-Haired Girl’s Second Form! (3)
Suddenly, a line of small text appeared before his eyes:
[Hidden event triggered: Master of Moonlight.]
[You will become the Master of Moonlight who commands the stars, leading the Moon Brilliance Sect to a great revival. Current progress: 0%]
Chen Mo’s expression froze.
Seriously, there’s something wrong with this system!
If it can’t issue tasks, then don’t issue any. Why would I leave my good position as a household head to clean up the mess of the Moon Brilliance Sect?
What great revival, reviving the Bull Demon King or what!
"Stupid system, your mother..."
[Retrieve the Sect Treasure: Azure Darkness Seal, event completion progress improved.]
[Current progress: 25%, first stage reward unlocked.]
[Acquired mystical artifact: Dao Essence Crystal*1.]
[Acquired mystical artifact: Second-class Creation Gold Contract*1.]
"... your mother is in good health and all is well."
Though this task seems nonsensical, I can completely ignore it since there’s no penalty, and I can still freeload the system rewards.
Sweet!
Understanding this, Chen Mo’s mood improved significantly.
"Now there are already two second-class gold contracts, if only three second-class could combine into one first-class..."
"Speaking of ’Master of Moonlight commanding the stars,’ this phrase feels a bit odd, could it be hinting at something?"
As he pondered in his heart, Yu’er sensibly started searching for the esteemed bird.
Gu Manzhi rubbed against him, gently biting his earlobe, her voice soft and alluring: "Lord, you haven’t come to cultivate with me for so long, I’ve accumulated so much Yin Cha Qi with no place to release it..."
These two tormenting vixens!
Just as Chen Mo was about to draw his sword, he suddenly saw Ye Henshui standing nearby, head lowered, wearing a gray robe.
This white-haired girl is too shy and reserved, never refusing any of his requests but never taking the initiative either...
"Shuishui, come here." Chen Mo beckoned with his hand.
"Mm."
Ye Henshui walked over slowly, standing hesitantly in front of him.
Facing Chen Mo’s scrutinizing gaze, she hesitated for a moment, then reached to unbutton her collar.
"No need, just keep it on."
"Mm... mm?"
Ye Henshui’s light pink eyes showed a bit of confusion.
But soon, she understood Chen Mo’s intention...
"Put on the hood!"
"Ha, this farce should end, I don’t really feel a thing..."
"Take off the hood!"
"Wuwuwu, Mr. Chen, please spare me..."
"..."
...
...
Night fell, the moon hung high.
Steam filled the bathroom, Chen Mo soaked in the pool, with two paper puppets meticulously wiping his body.
After an afternoon of fierce battle, the Moon Brilliance Sect’s twin stars and the Imperial Music Bureau’s top oiran were all defeated, especially Ye Henshui, who, while wearing the hood, was forced to shout "Mr. Chen is the best," before completely breaking down...
The previously depleted soul power had fully recovered, and the Green Jade Scripture had conveniently reached mastery.
As the cultivation technique ran, an ancient jade book appeared on Chen Mo’s brow, his meridians became as translucent as jade, the airborne primordial qi rushed into his body, creating a brief spiritual power vacuum in the surroundings!
"This suction feels amazing!"
He leaned against the edge of the bath, leisurely squinting his eyes.
The Green Jade Scripture truly deserves to be called a technique above Heaven Rank. Just in terms of primordial qi affinity alone, it already crushes 99% of the world’s magic techniques, not to mention its various mystical powers...
Magicians and Daoists are essentially similar yet vastly different.
Daoists emphasize "using magic to protect Dao," where magic is a means, focusing on refining the heart.
While magicians "use Dao to control magic," Dao being the foundation, focusing on transformation.
You can tell from the fighting styles of Ling Ningzhi and Gu Manzhi; Ling Ningzhi uses a standard Thunder Technique from start to finish, if one strike doesn’t kill, strike again. While Gu Manzhi shows a variety of tricks: soul control, paper puppets, mind confusion, life lock...
It’s hard to judge which is superior; perhaps Daoists can go further, but magicians have more practical methods.
"But it’s hard to say, Ji Hongxiu’s Mystic Sect’s Heavenly Gang True Skill also has endless wonders."
"The Tianshu Pavilion, as one of the Three Saint Sect, is really too overpowered."
Chen Mo flipped his wrist, and two items floated in his palm.
One was a green square seal, constantly disassembling like blocks, forming an ancient bronze scroll, the lively text on it shifting every moment.
The other was a glazed round plate, with yin-yang double fish swimming in the center, the inner seal script ring constantly deconstructing and rearranging.
"Azure Darkness Seal deduces the ’Gu Scripture,’ Heavenly Derivation Array Plate cracks the Eightfold Exorcism Array, both are fully automatic, although convenient, the consumption is not ordinary." Chen Mo raised an eyebrow.
To maintain full strength deduction, the daily consumption of Spiritual Marrow is about five pieces, simply a bottomless pit!
Fortunately, the Chen Family has a rather rich foundation, the underwear business can also bring considerable income, for ordinary people, even if they obtain such treasures, they likely couldn’t bring out their real effect.
Chen Mo fed the ’Great Change Heavenly Origin Formation Solution’ to the array plate, and then stuffed in some pieces of Spiritual Marrow, putting away the two magical treasures.
Both the ’Gu Scripture’ and the Eightfold Exorcism Array are not simple, there won’t be results in the short term, he’s prepared for a long-term battle.
If worse comes to worst, there’s still the Empress Baby, is Jiu Zhou’s richest lady a joke?
Splash—
Chen Mo stood up, stepped out of the bath, the steam on his body evaporating completely.
The two paper puppets attentively helped him dress, and after tidying up, he walked out the door.
Passing the bedroom, the three women were still asleep, Chen Mo did not disturb them, silently leaving the room.
The internal area of The Cloudwater Hall is quite large, just the upper rooms have more than ten. Now no longer hosting overnight guests, all rooms were reserved for the Xu Family’s daughters who moved in successively.
Chen Mo spread his divine sense, perceiving slightly.
He then walked through the corridor to the deepest room, raised his hand, and knocked on the door.
Creaaak—
A moment later, the door opened.
Liu Miaozhi, in a light purple dress, stood in front, gracefully bowed in salute.
"My lord, you’ve come, I have been waiting for a long time."
