Chapter 112 Eye of Tao
"Junior brother, you are really knowledgeable."
After Jiang Feiyan praised her, she looked at Meng Xiangqiao.
"If she is really the so-called Piaomiao demon clan that Junior Brother Li mentioned, how could she appear in the territory of our Daqian Kingdom?"
As a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, Jiang Feiyan has some basic knowledge about the surrounding countries.
"Not to mention the four kingdoms of Han, Wei, Zhongshan, and Chewu, there's also the powerful Lu to the east. From what I understand, there seem to be a dozen or so small and medium-sized nations east of Lu, and then they're considered to have left the Central Plains. How did you discover it?"
Meng Xiangqiao sighed.
"This matter is most likely related to the Chen family."
Then, under the gaze of Jiang Feiyan and Li Mo, Meng Xiangqiao slowly explained.
"Last night, it was my turn to be on guard. Someone in the city braved the rain to report to the authorities, saying they had spotted a demon. I didn't want to be careless and searched the city in the rain. I ended up finding her. It seemed that the Chen family was also searching at the same time."
"It's the Chen family again!"
Jiang Feiyan snorted coldly.
Over the years, Captain Chen has taken in at least twenty or thirty concubines, who have given birth to more than a hundred children. There are disputes concerning the Chen family almost every month.
But unfortunately, this Captain Chen was a military man who had made great military achievements.
Even as the chief flag-fighter of the Tianming Division, if he wanted to bring him to justice, he could only submit an application to the military.
Even from a personal perspective, although both of them are cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, the other party's specific cultivation level may have reached the late Foundation Establishment stage, so it is difficult for her to take coercive measures.
"Can she speak human language?"
“There’s only limited communication.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feiyan tentatively asked the fox girl.
"where u from?"
The fox girl looked at the three people with fear and shook her head.
Although there was no verbal communication between the two parties, it was obvious that she was very intelligent and should be able to communicate normally. It was just that due to the language difference, she was unable to understand Jiang Feiyan's meaning.
So Jiang Feiyan tried to ask other questions, but didn't get the answer she wanted. The fox girl's stuttering reply was completely irrelevant.
"Most likely they ended up here from the black market."
Jiang Feiyan looked thoughtful.
"Looks like I have to go visit the Qi family. Xiangqiao, go find her some suitable clothes, and Junior Brother, go get her some food."
"it is good."
"Ah."
After Meng Xiangqiao and Li Mo left, Li Mo quickly found some food from the kitchen and sent it to the fox girl's room in the backyard.
It was obvious that the fox girl was very hungry and she quickly wolfed down the food.
“She can actually use chopsticks.”
Li Mo expressed his surprise, then brought a cup of warm water and showed a kind smile to the fox girl. After the fox girl took the cup of water, she looked at Li Mo with eyes full of gratitude.
"The clothes are here."
Meng Xiangqiao walked into the house, shook her head and smiled.
"They are all my old clothes. I've gained weight now and can't fit into them anymore. They're perfect for her."
Seeing this, Li Mo knew he had to avoid it.
"I'll prepare some hot water for her to take a good bath. This matter really needs to be thoroughly investigated. This is my first time seeing the Piaomiao demon tribe. Although this fox girl doesn't look dangerous, from what I know, some tribes of the Piaomiao demon tribe are cannibals who have been fighting with the eastern countries for many years. They are quite dangerous."
Jiang Feiyan and Meng Xiangqiao looked solemn when they heard this.
After Li Mo said this, he was secretly happy in his heart.
The opportunity to investigate the Chen family has come so soon. It seems that he doesn't need to visit them under the banner of making friends. As for the Qi family, he can also find out why they are deeply involved with those secret organizations.
While Jiang Feiyan and Meng Xiangqiao were accompanying the fox girl to wash up, Li Mo returned to his office.
Let’s put aside the matters of the fox girl, the Qi family, and the Chen family for now.
After closing the office door, Li Mo continued to think about the changes in his vague dream last night.
Those thundering Dao characters were obviously imprinted in his left eye in some special way, but he didn't know what special effect such a change would have.
So Li Mo opened the Eye of True Spirit again.
Dozens of swimming silver tadpoles appeared in his left eye again.
These silver tadpoles, like tadpoles, kept swimming in his field of vision, sometimes big, sometimes small, sometimes far, sometimes near, sometimes circling, sometimes stopping.
But as long as Li Mo focuses his attention on a certain rune, the rune will be at his mercy.
After trying for a while, Li Mo gradually began to guess what this change was.
"The so-called spiritual charm of writing Silver Tadpoles doesn't refer to improving proficiency, but rather writing one's own understanding and comprehension. Silver Tadpoles are not simply composed of various symbols with symbolic meanings. It is not a static text, but a dynamic text that requires the incorporation of the Great Dao. These tadpoles are swimming in history!"
This is Li Mo's true understanding of the silver tadpole text, which can be said to be quite profound.
"Using it as a reference for learning seems to greatly reduce the difficulty of improving spiritual charm."
Thinking of this, he immediately picked up the brush and started writing on the rice paper.
With the silver tadpole script on his left eye as a reference, the dozens of silver tadpole scripts written by Li Mo were completely flawless. Each one was full of spirit and did not look like a rune that a beginner could draw.
After he wrote down all the dozens of runes he knew, he suddenly looked surprised.
Li Mo stood up and looked at the rice paper with his calligraphy.
To a certain extent, this piece of rice paper with silver tadpole writing on it has already transcended the concept of mundane objects and can be considered a treasure. However, because the silver tadpole writing on it has not yet formed a coherent chapter and has no complete meaning, it cannot form a restriction that can change the basic properties of the rice paper.
But even so.
Even though Li Mo did not input any magic power, a faint electric light still emitted the moment his hands touched the white paper.
"this!"
Li Mo took a deep breath, as if he saw a bright road.
"It's more than enough to etch the restrictions of magical instruments with this!"
He looked excited as he watched the runes moving on the rice paper, like black tadpoles.
Li Mo was lost in thought. Since it was Silver Tadpole Script, it should be silver. However, since he was writing with ink, he couldn't bring out the true power of Silver Tadpole Script.
"After etching, it seems that enchanting with silver essence is necessary to unleash the true power of the silver tassel script. However, this is too extravagant for a low-level magical weapon... no, it should be said that for all magical weapons, it is too extravagant."
He clearly remembered that one penny of silver essence would require more than one hundred spirit stones.
After the magic power is input into the magic weapon, its volume will expand sequentially. Only by relying on this characteristic can more runes be etched to form a more powerful restriction and maximize the power of the magic weapon.
Therefore, when casting a magical instrument, the basic material that can affect the upper limit of its volume basically determines the grade of the magical instrument.
Essence of iron, copper, silver, and gold.
The value of different metal essences also varies accordingly.
This way.
Under the influence of the monks, the basic materials for refining these metal essences will show different values in the secular world.
Li Mo is just a beginner in refining weapons, so there is no need to set too high goals.
Thinking like this.
He casually tore the rice paper in front of him into pieces, and in the process, a large amount of static electricity was generated in the air.
"what?"
However, at this moment, Li Mo let out a light exclamation.
He just continued to carry out the experiment instinctively. However, when he gathered more magic power into his left eye and stared at one of the silver runes, this rune actually produced a wonderful penetrating power, and it left a rune mark on a blank piece of rice paper!
This silver tadpole text is composed entirely of spiritual power and cannot be seen by mortals.
Li Mo showed a look of surprise and was about to pick up the rice paper to observe it carefully, but after only about three breaths, the silver tadpole character began to struggle in pain and then disappeared before Li Mo's eyes.
"This doesn't seem to be due to the exhaustion of spiritual power!"
Li Mo tried again.
This time, he left a spiritual rune on the rice paper, window, wall, and table.
At the beginning, these runes swam like tadpoles, but after only three breaths, the runes dissipated painfully.
"This feeling……"
Li Mo frowned.
For some reason, he suddenly remembered the strange hairless rats in the belly of the big evil spirit in Tanhe, as well as the other evil spirits he had killed. They also died after a brief and painful struggle, and their bodies gradually dissipated.
He vaguely figured out something.
"These silver tadpole characters appear to be shadow runes from the Mountain and Sea Realm. The reason they exist in this form seems to contain some of the mysteries of runeology itself, and it's not entirely due to the ethereal dream. Their inability to remain in the Mountain and Sea Realm for long seems to be related to the indescribable entity in the ethereal dream. If I were to copy them directly, they would possess an evil nature and would be unacceptable to the Mountain and Sea Realm."
Now that his left eye has mutated and appears to be developing in a benign direction, he decided to give this eye a separate name.
What should I call it?
The word "reason" suddenly appeared in his subconscious.
Tao represents objectivity, and Li represents subjectivity.
"Let's call it... the Eye of Tao, which means the objective eye."
Since there is Tao, there must be reason. Then he can combine it into the spiritual eyes of Tao.
"According to the Sima Fudai Sect Master, after the Foundation Establishment stage, a cultivator who practices supplementary cultivation techniques will be able to slightly change their True Spirit Eye. After the Golden Core stage, when the main and supplementary cultivation techniques are stably integrated, the True Spirit Eye will possess supernatural powers, which can fully assist the cultivator in conducting in-depth observations of various essences."
The main cultivation methods of Lingmu Sect and Tianding Sect are to help the cultivators develop great supernatural powers.
Everything has pros and cons.
The characteristics of this main practice will determine whether the practice itself is powerful or not. It depends more on whether the potential of the cultivator himself can be expanded and advanced in all directions, rather than relying on the basic attributes of the practice and the accompanying magical powers to fight. It can be said that the lower limit is low, the potential is great, and the upper limit is high.
Then Li Mo had some more associations.
The Misty Dreamland needs the "Miao Misty Box" as its fulcrum, and the Misty Box is likely to be related to the Misty Demon Clan.
But the creator of the Eye of the True Spirit was Lingmu Zhenren of Zhongshan Kingdom more than a thousand years ago. According to the legend among the sect, this founder developed the Eye of the True Spirit with reference to the talents of the Piaomiao demon clan!
“Could this also be related?”
Just as Li Mo was daydreaming, there was a knock on the door outside the office.
"Please come in."
After Meng Xiangqiao pushed open the office door, she didn't actually come in. She just stuck her head in with an excited look on her face.
"Deputy General, the fox girl has finished washing up. Do you want to come and see her?"
Li Mo noticed her strange mood and immediately stood up and followed her.
"Wow!"
When Li Mo arrived at the backyard and walked into the room, he was immediately stunned by this charming and exotic fox girl.
This is truly a seductive enchantress!
"Yes, a beauty of the country."
Li Mo nodded with appreciation and looked at Jiang Feiyan.
"Senior Sister, let's go to the Qi and Chen families together to investigate this matter. I plan to take this opportunity to contact the four major families."
Jiang Feiyan and Meng Xiangqiao saw that Li Mo's eyes were clear and without any obscene or evil thoughts. They couldn't help but look at each other and showed sneering expressions.
"Junior brother, aren't you tempted by such a charming beauty?"
Jiang Feiyan looked at Li Mo and joked with him.
"Faced with such a beauty, Xiang Qiaoke and I were almost tempted. I never thought my junior brother would be such a gentleman who remained calm even when faced with such a beautiful woman!"
Li Mo rolled his eyes.
"Please, Senior Sister, we are disciples of the Qingming Mountain Lingmu Sect, and our current identities are inspectors of the Tianming Division of Bai'an County!"
Li Mo finished speaking righteously, then shook his head and smiled.
"Who wouldn't be tempted by such a beauty? Aren't you two here with me? Should I act silly in front of you and let you laugh at me? Isn't this just urging you to leave? I'm still in my prime and don't want to make any mistakes."
"Ha ha!"
"Giggle cluck..."
Jiang Feiyan and Meng Xiangqiao couldn't help but burst into laughter when they heard this.
The two men looked at Li Mo's fleeing back and couldn't help but look at each other. They had a new understanding of Li Mo: he was a man with an open mind.
