"You can freely enter and exit the temple during the day. The tag on your key is your pass to enter and exit the Gate of Sages. But you can't enter after dark, and your cultivation the next day will naturally be affected. So it's best to stay in the temple as much as possible."

Kelly explained the rules and precautions for entering and leaving the temple to Qin Mo in detail, which made Qin Mo very fond of this round-faced girl. He remembered some things Giulio had said and asked cautiously, uncertainly, "Kelly, a friend of mine said that in the Western Continent, you can express your gratitude to someone with something of value..."

"Oh! Qin Mo, you mean 'tip'? I don't need the money, haha, you don't need to be so polite... What are you holding in your hand?"

Kelly was very clever and smiled as she declined Qin Mo's offer, but a glimpse of blue that Qin Mo pulled out of his pocket made her suddenly change her mind.

"This is an oriental gem, representing the pure friendship between us... and also carrying my gratitude for all the help you've given me." Qin Mo emphasized "pure friendship" to avoid Kelly misunderstanding her intentions.

Qin Mo didn't take out her own "high-temperature processed" sapphire, but a pure cornflower blue sapphire, which was even larger than the "ship money" sapphire she gave to Elisa.

"If this represents the pure friendship between us, I am very happy to accept it. Thank you, Qin Mo, I like it very much." Kelly accepted Qin Mo's gemstone generously, expressed her gratitude, and left happily, her light and cheerful steps revealing her inner joy.

Qin Mo smiled and took out her access pass. The heavy bronze plaque was engraved with the Roman letter 'ix,' the number nine, in a unique pattern. A thin chain connected the plaque, with a key of the same material attached to it, integrated with the plaque.

The stone walls were covered with green vines, which even obscured the iron gate. Kelly was right; Residence Number Nine had been uninhabited for a long time.

The bronze lock has patches of green patina, but it opens effortlessly when the key is turned, clearly a finely crafted lock that is a perfect match for the patterned iron gate.

There were some dead leaves in the yard. The wisteria could absorb the dust in the air, but it couldn't clean the yard.

The two-story stone building was very clean, with hardly any dust on the floor. The simple tables and chairs made Qin Mo realize that this was not a place for her to enjoy herself.

Qin Mo shook his head and chuckled. He sat down cross-legged in the house and began to cultivate diligently in silence. The reason he chose this house was because it was quite far from other residences. The vortex of his spiritual energy during cultivation was too large. If he lived in other residences, it would be easy to disturb others and cause trouble.

Qin Mo carefully manipulated the Yuan Qi, preventing the Yuan Qi vortex from overflowing the courtyard. The surrounding Yuan Qi was constantly attracted and pulled by the Yuan Qi vortex, and was eventually used by Qin Mo without being noticed by outsiders.

After a night of cultivation, Qin Mo naturally opened her eyes before dawn and then heard a "humming" sound of a bell.

Qin Mo sprang to her feet, leaped out of the window, and onto the rooftop, surveying the entire area of ​​cultivators' dwellings. Want to chat with more like-minded people about "Sailing and Conquest"? Follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat to read novels, discuss life, and find kindred spirits!
