"Your own cultivation is your own decision." Li Jinchu waved his hand, changing the subject. "The important thing now is tomorrow's competition."
Ji Mofan lowered his eyes and sensed the spiritual energy in his mind.
"You only have one day to recover. No amount of rare and precious herbs will be enough." He raised his eyes. "Unless—"
“There is a way to break through to the Nascent Soul realm,” Li Jinchu said.
Ji Mofan raised an eyebrow. "You're ready?"
While breaking through to a higher realm requires facing a more terrifying tribulation than breaking through to a lower realm, the body will also undergo a more thorough tempering process.
The tribulation of lightning brings not only pain, but also a complete transformation from head to toe.
With the right approach, Ji Mofan can achieve a better physical condition after his breakthrough.
The only problem is that he broke through a minor realm less than half a month ago, and the spiritual energy stored in his spiritual platform is only at the late Nascent Soul stage, which is still a long way from a breakthrough.
To achieve a breakthrough, one must be willing to invest in rare and precious resources.
Although doing so would result in an unstable state of mind, it would certainly be better to take a gradual and steady approach if there were more time to recuperate.
The problem is that Ji Mofan doesn't have time right now, unless he gives up participating in this year's Daoist Conference.
But having come this far, he still wanted to give it a shot.
If he can achieve outstanding results at this conference, it would be perfectly justified for him to take the chief position in the Chaoming Hall.
Moreover, given the severity of his injuries, even with future treatment, he will undoubtedly require a significant amount of resources.
Without any merit to back him up, he could not justifiably take things from the Chaoming Palace's warehouse.
Going back to the Yuncang Sword Sect isn't out of the question, but going in circles would be troublesome.
Moreover, he planned to start by calculating the first debt with Qi Fengyu, and it wouldn't be good to waste energy on petty gains and alert the enemy.
Moreover, there's still a chance to get something out of Li Jinchu. This person is backed by the Li family and the Xiaoling Sect, which is more profitable than the Yuncang Sword Sect.
He's only putting effort into getting things done with Ji Mo Fan now because of the Dao Asking Conference. If he tries to extract benefits from him again after this opportunity, it won't be so easy.
Li Jinchu led Ji Mofan to soak in this spiritual spring for two hours.
It has to be said that the chief of the Xiaoling Sect is treated much better than the chief of the Yuncang Sword Sect. When Ji Mofan was the chief, he never had a separate position at the Spirit Spring.
After spending the morning nourished by the spiritual spring and medicinal herbs, he felt his face had become rounder.
I don't know if it's because it's eaten too much spiritual energy, or if it's simply been soaked in water and sponged up.
Li Jinchu led him to a secluded spot where few people frequented.
The mountain has a drop in elevation, and the stream cascades down from the height, creating a white pool of water at the bottom of the cliff.
"I'm telling you, you didn't actually know I wouldn't give up on such a cash cow as you, so you didn't hesitate to pull out your own immortal bone during the fight, did you?" Li Jinchu rummaged through her Qiankun bag while glancing at Ji Mofan.
The latter turned his head away.
At a time like this, even if he says he didn't think that much, Li Jinchu probably won't believe him.
However, he didn't think that much when he was extracting the immortal bone; he only thought of it after he threw out the communication talisman.
He had initially thought he would have to use his words to prove to Li Jinchu that he was capable of earning back the spirit stones that had been thrown at him, but unexpectedly, Li Jinchu didn't need him to remind him at all and had already planned how to use him.
“I’m the one who’s suffering a loss, okay?” Ji Mo Fan didn’t look at him, but his tone sounded quite innocent. “If you hadn’t insisted on keeping me in this Dao Asking Conference, I could have gone home today and returned to the Chaoming Palace to recuperate.”
"Successful breakthroughs in a short period of time have taken a toll on my own health. You benefited from it, and you still accuse me of scheming against you?"
Li Jinchu took things out of his Qiankun bag one by one, saying, "Okay, okay, I'm cheap, you're expensive."
"Fang Xian's cultivation is at the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage. Although you two are not yet old enough to register for the Dao Inquiry Conference, no one can say for sure what other unexpected events might occur in four years."
"If you can't suppress him this time, and some new genius emerges at the next conference, the champion might not be you again."
"Who really got the better deal?"
"Then if you're so capable, don't treat me." Ji Mofan simply shrugged at him.
Li Jinchu didn't know whether she was laughing out of anger or laughing out of speechlessness.
This kid has changed so much in four years! Was he always this difficult to handle?
What exactly did the Yuncang Sword Sect do to him?
"I owed you something in my past life." That was the only conclusion he could come to in the end.
Jimo's reputation remains uncertain.
If he's referring to the kind of reincarnation that comes from drinking Meng Po's soup, then Ji Mo Fan remembers nothing.
If he was referring to that memory from his own past, then Ji Mofan and he had virtually no contact at that time, aside from necessary sect-to-sect interactions.
Ultimately, it was Ji Mofan who kept taking advantage of Li Jinchu's generosity, even though Li Jinchu gave him face.
Not good. He doesn't know if it's because he's had too smooth sailing since his rebirth, but ever since he stopped trying to please others, he's been getting lucky every time he's sleepy, which has made him a little complacent.
However, although I felt a little panicked inside...
But getting something for nothing is really great, I want more.

Even though Ji Mofan had some idea of the financial resources Li Jinchu could offer, he was still wide-eyed and gaping when he actually saw it with his own eyes.
Yunzhi Xuepo is a type of Ganoderma lucidum that grows in extremely cold and high-altitude areas, covered with white frost, containing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained in the first ray of sunlight that penetrates the cold air.
The Forget-Me-Not Bud usually blooms in areas with the densest death energy. Each flower has only one stamen, and a cluster of death energy can only nurture one plant, possessing a powerful vitality that is both mutually reinforcing and restraining death energy.
At a glance, Ji Mofan knew that the remaining treasures were all of similar quality.
These items would be highly sought after at auctions, fetching astronomical prices in no time.
But now, Li Jinchu has casually piled it up on the side of the pond, just like a big rock by the roadside.
He rarely had this disorienting feeling that money wasn't money.
Li Jinchu's seemingly casual gesture was already comparable to half a warehouse of reserves of the Yun Cang Sword Sect.
It was by sheer chance that Ji Mofan gained a profound understanding of the spiritual energy within his mind for the first time.
"So, breaking through to the next level was equivalent to saving so many rare and precious materials."
