Chapter 310 But what we killed was a god!
On the second day of the hunting ceremony, the Qin royal palace sent people to deliver Xiao Mo's rewards.
After the mother and son expressed their gratitude, Xiao Mo originally thought that the large sum of money would allow his mother to buy some jewelry and new clothes.
However, Zhou Ruoxi put the gold away, intending to use it for her son's future marriage.
As for the fine silk, Zhou Ruoxi gave two bolts to Cuicui, and planned to give the rest to Xiao Mo to make clothes.
After learning what his mother was thinking, Xiao Mo tried to persuade her for a long time.
Zhou Ruoxi reluctantly agreed to use the silk to make two clothes for herself.
Xiao Mo knew that there was no point in trying to persuade his mother to be frugal; this was the biggest concession she had ever made.
Perhaps only when I achieve something in the future will my mother truly be generous to me.
After the hunting ceremony ended, Xiao Mo naturally returned to his daily routine.
Huang Shan wasn't particularly surprised when he learned that Xiao Mo had killed a Cangyue Wolf.
After all, Huang Shan knew his disciple's talent and strength better than anyone else.
"Your battle with the Azure Moon Wolf can be considered a blessing in disguise, as it has made your cultivation level more solid, your blood energy more vigorous, and you have gained a greater awareness of life and death. Now you can try to establish your foundation."
But kid, let me make this clear to you: no matter how high a person's talent is, there is always a certain risk when breaking through to a higher realm; it's not guaranteed to succeed.
If you fail, at best your cultivation level will be shattered, preventing you from advancing any further in this life; at worst, you will perish and leave this world.
"So? Do you still dare to attempt Foundation Establishment?"
Huang Shan stroked his beard and asked Xiao Mo.
“Master said that cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don’t advance, you fall behind. If I didn’t dare to do that, Master wouldn’t have accepted me as his disciple,” Xiao Mo said firmly.
"Hahaha! Good!" Huang Shan nodded in satisfaction. "I'll pick you up from the courtyard tomorrow morning."
“Yes, Master. But Master, could you please not tell my mother about my Foundation Establishment?” Xiao Mo asked.
Huang Shan was taken aback for a moment, but quickly understood what the kid meant: "Don't worry, tomorrow I'll tell you I'll take you out to spar with others."
"Thank you, Master."
Xiao Mo clasped his hands in a salute, only then was he completely relieved.
Otherwise, if Mother knew that I was going to break through to a higher realm, she would worry for a long time.
The next morning, Huang Shan arrived outside Xiao Mo's courtyard.
Huang Shan told Zhou Ruoxi that he wanted to take Xiao Mo to spar with some martial arts practitioners of the same age.
Zhou Ruoxi didn't seem to think much of it and readily agreed.
"Mother, I'll be going now. I'll definitely be back soon," Xiao Mo said to his mother.
"Mm." Zhou Ruoxi nodded, bent down, and straightened the child's clothes. "Mo'er, remember to be careful in everything you do, and don't push yourself too hard."
"Yes, Mother." Xiao Mo followed his master out of the courtyard.
Watching her child's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Zhou Ruoxi bit her thin lips and unconsciously clenched her sleeves tightly.
"Madam, don't worry. Young Master is just sparring with someone. Nothing will happen to him," Cui Cui said, stepping forward to comfort her mistress when she saw her worried expression.
"Yes." Zhou Ruoxi raised her head and gazed into the distance. "My Mo'er is very lucky and will be alright. He'll definitely make it."
Half past Chen Shi (7-9 AM), Huang Shan and Xiao Mo arrived at a desolate mountain outside the capital city.
At the mountaintop, Huang Shan took out a pot, set it up, filled it with spring water, and then put the body-tempering medicinal herbs into it.
"We martial cultivators undergo tribulation without the fancy procedures of other cultivators, nor do we worship heaven and earth. If heaven tries to stop us, we'll just smash it with one punch. Why bother with pretense and affection for the heavenly way?"
Huang Shan took a sip of wine.
"This is your final body tempering in the Qi Refining stage. The purpose is to ensure that even if you fail the tribulation, you will have a greater chance of saving your life. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Master."
"Good to know, go in."
"yes!"
After Xiao Mo jumped into the large pot, Huang Shan started a fire for him.
This final body tempering during the Qi Refining stage was much more painful for Xiao Mo than before.
It used to be a pain that felt like my bones were about to break.
But this time, it's like a mountain crushing you to pieces time and time again.
Moreover, during this body tempering, Xiao Mo clearly felt that these medicinal herbs were stimulating the blood and spiritual energy within his body.
Half an hour later, Xiao Mo could no longer suppress his cultivation level and suddenly opened his eyes.
"Boom!"
In an instant, dark clouds gathered in the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and thunderclaps echoed from the clouds.
"boom!"
With a deafening roar of thunder, a bolt of lightning struck straight down towards Xiao Mo!
When most Qi Refining cultivators undergo tribulation to advance to Foundation Establishment, they generally dare not put up any resistance when facing the tribulation lightning, and can only endure it head-on, because they are afraid of angering the Heavenly Dao.
But Xiao Mo threw a punch, seemingly wanting to challenge the heavens and earth!
After an incense stick's time, the thunder ceased and the lightning tribulation dissipated.
The sky above is clear and bright.
Beneath the vast sky, Xiao Mo lay on the ground, his clothes tattered, his charred skin peeling away bit by bit, and new flesh growing out little by little.
How are you feeling?
Huang Shan stepped forward and kicked Xiao Mo's thigh.
"I'm not dead." Xiao Mo coughed a few times, his throat parched. "It's just that I don't know how I'll explain this to my mother when I get back."
"You brat," Huang Shan said, sitting cross-legged next to Xiao Mo, sighing and shaking his head, "Do you really think your mother doesn't know what you're doing here?"
Xiao Mo turned his head and looked at Huang Shan.
"Your mother is the daughter of the city lord of Yunhui City in Zhuang Kingdom. Her vision is far beyond that of ordinary women. She must have already guessed that you are going to undergo tribulation today."
It's just that your mother didn't say anything because she didn't want to affect you.
Huang Shan rubbed Xiao Mo's head.
"Son, you don't want your mother to worry, but doesn't your mother feel the same way?"
"."
Xiao Mo lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Just go back calmly. Now that you've successfully broken through to the next realm, that's the best comfort for your mother. And since you've reached the Foundation Establishment stage, it's time for your master to teach you spear techniques from today onwards."
"Master, what's the name of the marksmanship we're learning?"
Xiao Mo asked.
I had been asking my master about marksmanship, but he wouldn't say a word.
"The name of our lineage's spear technique only has three characters."
Huang Shan flicked his toes, lifting an ordinary long stick from beside his feet. Then, Huang Shan gripped the stick with one hand and pointed it forward.
"boom!"
Two hundred feet away, a barren mountain was shattered in half, and rocks rolled down.
Other people's marksmanship—
kill.
Slay the demon.
Kill the demon.
But we killed them.
It's God!
The sound of the yellow fir tree echoed from the mountaintop.
"so.
This spear technique is called...
God-Slaying Gun!
