After a while,
Nangong Xiucai suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly withdrew his small hand in a panic, his fair face turning bright red.
A hint of panic quietly surfaced in her usually cool and composed beautiful eyes.
"How do you possess the legendary spirit stone? And besides, I can't accept this!"
Nangong Xiuqiang remained calm, looking at the ring in his hand with curiosity.
She had only heard the village elders talk about this thing, but had never seen it before.
I heard that the village had it several thousand years ago, but it was used up long ago.
Where did he get it from?
"I got this from another world, where there are lots of spirit stones."
"I'm going back there in a few days to earn spirit stones. I'll be very rich then, so you don't need to worry about it."
Seeing that she still refused to answer, Chu Mo deliberately provoked her:
"With the help of these spirit stones, I will soon be able to break through to the Golden Core stage. By then, you will probably still only be at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, right?"
"I can break through even without spirit stones." Nangong Xiu's eyes were stubborn.
"I believe you can break through, but I will only pull further and further away from you."
Chu Mo looked at her and said seriously:
"The outside world is vast, and there are many geniuses, all of whom are using spirit stones and other rare and precious materials to accelerate their cultivation."
"If you don't know how to adapt and don't make use of external resources, you won't be able to keep up with the pace of geniuses in the outside world."
Nangong Xiu's stubborn eyes dimmed slightly, but quickly regained their composure.
She stood up and quietly watched the village below, where smoke curled from the chimneys. After a long while, she whispered:
"I knew about the Burial God Abyss when I was very young. Grandpa Qin and the others explained it in a rather cryptic way back then, thinking that I was too young to understand."
"At that time, I didn't fully understand it, but I gradually came to understand it later."
At this point, Nangong Xiucai turned around and stared intently at him.
"You knew that too, didn't you?"
Chu Mo was stunned.
I never expected that this girl in front of me would also know this secret?
He couldn't imagine how she had endured such despair since she was so young.
Nangong Xiu ignored his silence and continued calmly:
"That's why I've been practicing diligently since I was a child. I hope that one day I can lead the villagers out of this place."
"But in the last two years, the unusual activity in the Burial God Abyss has become more and more frequent. The disaster that Grandpa Qin and the others mentioned is probably coming soon."
"And you, are you the one chosen by Grandpa Qin and the others to carry on the family line?"
Chu Mo then realized why such a cultivation fanatic would have given him the thousand-year-old blood ginseng.
Is it because they know they have no hope and therefore don't want to waste those resources?
That should be it, right?
"Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to get everyone out of this forbidden area."
Chu Mo's eyes were firm and serious.
Nangong Xiu looked at him quietly, then suddenly smiled, a smile that could topple kingdoms.
Chu Mo was stunned; this was the first time he had ever seen her smile.
I must say, her smile is truly beautiful!
Just like a snow-capped mountain that has been frozen for thousands of years, suddenly the ice and snow melt, revealing a proud and blooming pure white lotus.
This stunningly beautiful girl, with her aloof appearance, blossomed with a different kind of captivating charm at this moment, a beauty that was breathtaking.
Seeing Chu Mo standing there in a daze, the girl snapped out of it, her eyes darting around in confusion as she turned and walked away.
"I...I'm leaving now."
She took two steps, then paused again.
Then he turned around, picked up the bag from the ground, and hurriedly left again.
"Hey, wait for me! I'm just about to go find my master and the others."
Chu Mo quickly followed.
However, Nangong Xiu's pace quickened, and she didn't wait for him at all.
The two, one after the other, caused a sensation as soon as they arrived in the village.
"Xiao Chu, you're back."
"Xiao Chu, you've finally arrived! My son is still hoping to hear you tell him a story."
"Haha, Lao Zhou, I think you just want to hear a story, right?"
All the villagers who saw Chu Mo surrounded him warmly and greeted him familiarly and enthusiastically.
It was like an elderly person in the village seeing a younger generation returning from a long journey.
Chu Mo responded enthusiastically.
Some of the village children had already rushed over in droves.
The oldest was fourteen or fifteen years old, and the youngest was only three or four. They were shouting and laughing as if it were Chinese New Year.
"Brother Chu, we miss you so much."
"Uncle, I miss you, Erniu. I want to hear you tell stories about the ocean."
A cute little girl of six or seven years old immediately retorted in a sweet voice.
Chu Mo couldn't help but rub her head and laugh heartily:
"I won't tell you stories today, I'll treat you to something delicious."
Chu Mo found a clean patch of grass.
Then, they started taking out various snacks from their storage rings.
Before he arrived, he purchased a huge amount of daily necessities, fine wines, and snacks.
Looking at those strange items printed with beautiful patterns, not only children but even adults are extremely curious.
Chu Mo smiled at everyone and said:
"These are some foods from our area. They taste really good. Everyone can open them and try them."
As he spoke, he demonstrated by unwrapping the packaging and then casually held the butter cookie to the little girl's mouth.
The little girl curiously took a bite, her eyes widened instantly, then quickly curved into crescent moons with joy, and she began to wolf it down.
After finishing eating, she looked longingly at Chu Mo's hand.
Anyone who saw that longing look in her eyes knew that this stuff must be delicious.
The children around were all swallowing hard, but no one went forward to take any of the mountain of snacks in front of them.
