Lu Ming clenched his fists tightly, trying to calm himself down, and his expression became normal. He raised his eyes and smiled at Shen Shuyan: "Jing Mo and I are each other's only relatives, and we have been separated for a full ten years. Now that we meet again, we cherish the time we spend together even more. It is indeed closer than that between ordinary brothers."
Shen Shuyan's eyes flashed, and then he smiled and said, "That's true."
Lu Ming always felt that Shen Shuyan's eyes were as sharp as an eagle soaring in the sky, and he could see through all the truths when he looked down. He felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he had to change the subject and said, "I wonder what Master wants Jing Mo to do?"
Shen Shuyan's expression returned to normal, and he explained: "Jing Mo won the first place in the trial meeting, and the reward must be given according to the previous practice. The treasure will be opened and he can choose the treasure. The master just found Jing Mo for this matter."
Lu Ming suddenly realized what was going on. He said a few words to Shen Shuyan and left.

Lu Ming now has the blueprint of the purple furnace, and it is only a matter of time to find Fu Shu. He spent a day to find the refining materials recorded on the blueprint, and brought them into the space to make them. It took about a month to refine them completely. Looking at the finished product that was faintly emitting a purple glow, Lu Ming smiled with satisfaction, put the purple furnace into the space ring, and then left the space with peace of mind.
Lu Ming was sent out of the space by 233. When he opened his eyes, what he saw was a pair of eyes as dark as the night sky.
There were too many emotions in those eyes, and Lu Ming was slightly distracted when he ran into them unexpectedly. The owner of the eyes obviously didn't expect Lu Ming to wake up so early, and there was a trace of panic in his expression, but he quickly returned to normal, slowly stood up, and smiled faintly: "Brother, are you awake?"
Lu Ming rubbed his sore eyes, stretched himself, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What time is it?"
Jing Mo said: "It's just past the hour of You."
Lu Ming got up from the bed and felt a little hungry. He had been in the space for more than a month. Although he was not hungry, he was exhausted from making magic tools all night long. He urgently needed a lot of food to reward himself.
Jing Mo seemed to see through Lu Ming's thoughts and said softly, "Brother, I have prepared the food. I didn't put it in your room just now because I was afraid of disturbing you. Come with me to Xingyue Tower to eat."
Lu Ming licked his lips, swallowed his saliva, and obediently followed Jing Mo towards Xingyue Tower.
Soon, the two arrived at their destination. Lu Ming looked at the steaming food on the table and started eating eagerly. Jing Mo looked at his brother who was eating hard with amusement, and handed him tea from time to time without disturbing him while he was eating.
Lu Ming patted his round belly and burped. He felt relieved after eating. Then he remembered that he had something important to say to Jing Mo, "Xiao Mo, I need to leave Kun-Lai."
Jing Mo paused holding the teacup and asked, "What's the matter?"
Lu Ming nodded, a gleam in his eyes: "Fushu is still alive, I want to go find her."
Jing Mo glanced at Lu Ming, smiled faintly and said, "That's good."
Lu Ming smiled and said with some relief: "Fortunately, you and Fu Shu are fine, otherwise I don't know what to do."
Jing Mo did not respond. His hand holding the teacup tightened unconsciously, and he asked half-jokingly, "In my brother's eyes, who is more important, me or Fu Shu?"
Lu Ming was slightly stunned, not understanding why Jing Mo asked such a question. He just looked at Jing Mo in surprise, then laughed and said, "You and Fu Shu are both my family members, and you are equally important in my eyes."
Although he expected his brother to answer him like this, Jing Mo still felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his heart when he heard such words from his brother. He was a little breathless. He stared at Lu Ming blankly, and suddenly felt that his admiration and love for him for so many years seemed not worth mentioning in his eyes. In his heart, he was not the only brother, but there were others who also occupied the deepest place in his heart.
Lu Ming was a little nervous because of Jing Mo's sudden suppression. He didn't know what he said wrong to make him so sad. Lu Ming looked at him helplessly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jing Mo closed his eyes, and opened them again after a moment. His eyes were the same as usual, and he just smiled faintly and said, "Nothing. Brother, are you going to look for Fu Shu now?"
Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Yes, we will set off tomorrow."
Jing Mo lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I can't go with my brother this time."
Lu Ming originally planned to go with He Jingmo, but when he heard that He Jingmo couldn't go, he felt a little disappointed and asked, "Is there something that prevents you from going?"
Jing Mo nodded and said, "Since I was promoted, the spiritual energy in my body has been stagnant. I need to retreat and clear it as soon as possible. If I delay any longer, something unexpected may happen."
Lu Ming was surprised and asked, "Why is this?"
Jing Mo shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific reason. Maybe it's because I forced a breakthrough last time and my body couldn't bear it for a while, so my spiritual energy was blocked."
Lu Ming thought for a moment, took out a small cloth bag from his space ring and handed it to Jing Mo, then said: "This is Chongling Pill, it should be able to help you."
Jing Mo didn't say much, just stretched out his hand to take it and put it into the space, then whispered: "Brother, the cultivation world has been very unstable recently. If you encounter danger, you must inform me, I will... come to you soon."
Lu Ming patted his shoulder and said, "You should practice well and don't be too impatient. Come to me after your spiritual energy is unblocked. If there is anything abnormal with your body, remember to ask Master and Shen Shuyan for help, don't bear it alone."
Jing Mo nodded, looking at Lu Ming with a deep gaze, like a pool of water in the dark night, strong and silent. The originally bright moonlight was suddenly blocked by thick dark clouds, not a single ray of light could penetrate, the whole earth was dark, only the fireflies that occasionally flew by on the Xingyue Building illuminated his face.
Lu Ming didn't know why, but he felt uncomfortable. He always felt that Jing Mo was a little unusual tonight, but he didn't know why. He wanted to say something, but he always felt that once he opened his mouth, some things would be irreversible. His lips moved slightly, but he still closed them and didn't say anything else.
At this moment, Jing Mo suddenly reached out and pulled Lu Ming into his arms, wrapping his arms tightly around his waist, and said in a low voice: "Brother."
The warm breath sprayed against his ears, and the quiet Xingyue Tower seemed to be filled with only the breathing of the two of them. Lu Ming's heart trembled, as if he was bewitched. His originally stiff body gradually softened, and he let Jing Mo hold him. A familiar heat suddenly rose up, instantly igniting every inch of his skin, making his body temperature rise higher and higher involuntarily, almost burning his sanity.
This heat seemed to be contagious, causing Jing Mo's breathing to quicken. He said in a hoarse voice, "Brother..."
Lu Ming's eyes were a little confused, his cheeks were slightly red, and he looked as if he was drunk. Jing Mo's hand around his waist slowly slid down and gradually approached his hips.
The burning temperature of his palm penetrated the thin fabric and was clearly transmitted from his buttocks to every nerve in Lu Ming's body, making him feel hot all over.
Lu Ming leaned on Jing Mo, a faint moan escaped from his mouth. But the next second he suddenly woke up, hurriedly pushed Jing Mo away, looked at Jing Mo in panic, turned around and fled from Xingyue Tower.
Jing Mo did not go forward to hold him back, but just looked at the gradually leaving back with a dark look, as if muttering to himself: "Brother, next time we meet, I will never let you leave me. In your heart, no one else will be more important than me."

Lu Ming's chest was heaving violently. After leaving Xingyue Tower, he returned to his room in a trance. The poison in his body was always out of control and could break out at any time, which made him feel very insecure. Especially every time he saw Jing Mo, his body seemed to automatically find a suitable outlet, making his poison more easily stimulated. If it weren't for his willpower just now, he didn't know what to do.
"Master, I have a way to suppress the evil spirit poison in your body." 233, who had emerged from space at some point, spoke.
Lu Ming asked in surprise: "Do you really have a solution?"
233 said proudly: "Master, please don't underestimate my ability. I haven't been out to show my presence recently. I have been researching a potion to suppress the evil spirit poison in the space. It's a pity that this potion is only effective for a short three months. After three months, I can only take one step at a time."
Lu Ming sighed and said, "Something is better than nothing. At least I can look for Fu Shu in peace for the next three months."
233 used his little paw to fiddle with his horns and asked, "Are we leaving tomorrow?"
Lu Ming was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's go now."
233 asked in surprise, "Is it that urgent?"
Lu Ming said uncomfortably, "If it's too late, something might happen."
"Could it be to avoid Jing Mo?" 233 said disdainfully.
When his secret was exposed, Lu Ming's eyes flashed with embarrassment, and he could only roll his eyes coldly and said, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
233 nodded, not knowing whether to do so or not, and without saying anything more, he slept soundly in the space. That night, Lu Ming left Kun-Lai Summit in a hurry. When Jing Mo returned to the room, he habitually released his spiritual energy to explore Lu Ming's breath, but found nothing. However, there was a light blue butterfly standing on his desk, flapping its wings and slowly circling up. Circles of golden light powder slowly drifted around as the wings flapped, and then gradually gathered in the air, changing, and finally formed a row of large golden characters.
"I'll be back soon."
Jing Mo pursed his lips tightly, walked forward slowly, and stretched out his hand to catch the blue butterfly. The butterfly was very agile, and instantly sensed someone approaching, and quickly flapped its wings and flew out from the window.
Jing Mo looked gloomy, watching the flying butterfly without saying a word. After a long time, he retracted his gaze and took out an old book from his arms. It was an ancient book that he had accidentally glimpsed when he entered the treasure today.
The ancient book was placed in a very inconspicuous corner, but Jing Mo always felt that there seemed to be some voice in the dark telling him to get the ancient book. Although Jing Mo felt strange, he still followed his inner thoughts and took the ancient book out of the treasure.
The pages of the ancient book were slightly yellowed, the corners of the book were a little damaged, and it was very old, and it seemed to be very old. Jing Mo slowly flipped through the pages, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by one of the pages. He looked at it carefully, and there were four big characters written on it: "Tianya Artifact".
Jing Mo frowned and carefully read the various production steps recorded in the book. His brows were getting tighter and tighter, and his expression became solemn. He stared at the production drawings of the Tianya artifact and read them carefully. After a while, he closed the ancient book and carefully placed it in the ring space.
"The Tianya artifact... does it have the power to glimpse the future?" Jing Mo murmured.
