"Again!"
Chu Mo mumbled. This time, he was experienced. He focused his energy and entered the space of the jade in his chest.
After several attempts, he no longer needed to take out the piece of jade. He just needed to focus on the piece of jade and he would be able to enter.
As soon as he entered, Chu Mo could not help but widen his eyes in disbelief. Even though he had already guessed it, he still felt weird when he saw the small tree that he had just pulled out from the ground take root in the space of the jade.
The Will of Heaven and Earth was also lying quietly on the green stone that originally existed in the jade.
It was not sucked in, but Chu Mo had placed it there himself. After all, this was the safest place.
He was not sure if it was an illusion, but the small tree seemed to have more vitality in the space of the jade. Chu Mo walked closer and observed carefully. He found that on one of the branches, there was a green sprout the size of a needle tip.
Luckily, Chu Mo had good eyesight. Ordinary people would not have been able to see it.
"What's going on?" Chu Mo mumbled in confusion. Then, he stretched out his hand. He wanted to see if he could pull out the small tree here.
In the end, after trying for a long time, the newcomer in the space of the jade was like a towering tree that had taken root. No matter how hard Chu Mo tried, it would not budge!
"Alright, this dusty … cough cough, this divine tree that is hard to find in the heavens and hard to find on earth, I'll give it to you! Don't forget how good I am! " Chu Mo was like a charlatan. He mumbled and rolled his eyes, saying things that even he did not believe.
This was because he really did not feel that the small tree had any value. Since he liked this piece of jade, he might as well take it.
Just as he was about to leave, Chu Mo suddenly had an idea. He reached out and grabbed the Will of Heaven and Earth, then exited the space of the jade.
After exiting, he flipped open the Will of Heaven and Earth and mumbled, "I gave you a tree of god. Shouldn't you give me a few words in return?"
There was no change on the first page. When he flipped to the second page, Chu Mo's eyes suddenly froze.
"Hmm?"
On the second page of Heaven's Will and My Will, there were two more lines of words!
"Is, is this real?"
Chu Mo silently circulated the extra two lines of words and found that it was just right to connect with the Scroll of Heaven's Will that he had been cultivating before. It was a seamless whole, and there was no strange feeling at all.
He immediately began to circulate the Scroll of Heaven's Will. After a full circulation, he discovered that the speed at which he absorbed elemental energy had actually increased significantly!
More importantly, this Origin Energy was purer than the ones he had absorbed before. This also meant that after obtaining the small tree, this piece of jade had indeed given him unimaginable benefits.
Although there were only two lines of words, Chu Mo knew very well that these two lines of words were priceless!
"It's really like this!" Chu Mo exclaimed in surprise, then said, "In the future, if you want anything, just burn me. I'll definitely get it for you!"
"Hahahaha, a treasure, what a treasure!"
Chu Mo memorized the extra two lines of words, then put the Scroll of Heaven's Will and My Will back into the space of the jade. With a face full of joy, he climbed up the mountain.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, Chu Mo had been on his way home for more than a month.
Along the way, he encountered a few low-level origin beasts, but the strongest one was no match for the Crimson-Eyed Frostpython. In the end, they all became Chu Mo's prey.
Chu Mo's battle strength had also increased rapidly without him noticing.
During this time, Qi Xiaoyu had appeared two or three times. Each time, after Chu Mo had finished killing the origin beasts, she would suddenly appear out of nowhere and help Chu Mo take care of the beasts.
As a reward, Chu Mo treated her to a feast of roasted meat. After eating and drinking to her heart's content, she drifted away. Chu Mo even wondered if the girl lived in this vast mountain range. Otherwise, how could she be so familiar with this place?
Every time Chu Mo asked her where she'd been during her absence, she would look at Chu Mo innocently and say, "I went out to play!"
In the end, Chu Mo had to pinch his nose and admit that she'd been playing.
Chu Mo had gained a lot from this month's experience. The only thing he regretted was that his jade didn't give him any more hints.
In other words, in the past month, apart from the small tree, there was nothing else in this vast mountain range that caught its attention.
All in all, Chu Mo was in a good mood. In a short month, he'd first broken through to the origin gate. Then, he'd quickly climbed to the middle of the third level.
This kind of progress would've been unimaginable in the past.
Even if he did break through to the origin gate, it would still take him at least a year or two to reach the middle of the third level. Not only that, but he'd also needed great talent and a large amount of resources to achieve this.
Chu Mo, on the other hand, had walked on this road home alone. It had only taken him a month to do so.
Needless to say, this could be considered as a small miracle!
Chu Mo's back was covered with the bones, tendons, and hides of the origin beasts. Qi Xiaoyu, the glutton, naturally didn't care for these things.
But for Chu Mo, they were all money!
Although Chu Mo had been born and raised in a general's family, his life hadn't been that rich. Life in the Fan Mansion wasn't exactly poor, but compared to the families of the ministers in the imperial court, they were truly poor.
When Chu Mo was very young, he'd seen his classmates in the academy living in luxury. He'd once asked his grandfather, "Why are their lives so good? What's so bad about ours?"
The old man was silent for a long time before he said to the young Chu Mo, "If our family becomes like them one day, wearing luxurious clothes, eating luxurious food, and living in lofty buildings … then this country will soon be finished! Those people's extravagant lives will soon come to an end! "
When the old man had said these words, he'd added with some emotion, "Of course, those people don't have any moral integrity or backbone. Even if the country is finished, their aristocratic families won't necessarily be finished. As long as they say the word 'surrender', their extravagant lives will continue. "
"We're different from them. We're soldiers! Our mission is to protect this country. To protect the people of this country. "
At that time, Chu Mo had asked, "Does that include protecting these people who don't have moral integrity or backbone?"
The old man smiled and rubbed Chu Mo's head. He didn't answer his question, but said, "You're still too young. One day, you'll understand that this country isn't just made up of these high officials and tycoons, but also millions of citizens!"
"And the people we're protecting are them!"
Chu Mo carried the heavy Yuanbeast tendons, bones, and skin on his back. He recalled the questions and answers he'd had with his grandfather in the past, and a smile appeared on his face. "Grandfather, you're a true soldier! I'll remember all the teachings you've taught me. Didn't you always want to help those soldiers who left the barracks due to injuries and didn't receive much compensation? I think now we can reluctantly do something for them! "
Although Chu Mo didn't know the exact value of these things on his body, he knew that they were definitely worth a lot of money!
Any random Yuanbeast bone from a Tier 4 Yuanbeast could be sold for a sky-high price in Yan Huang City.
The Yuanbeast tooth that was known to ward off evil was even more priceless!
These tycoons were rich. When they saw a rare treasure, their most basic reaction was to throw money at it.
Chu Mo had a blissful look on his face as he calculated. After he sold these things on his body, he could first renovate the Fan Mansion a little.
Although the courtyard of the Fan Mansion wasn't small, many of the rooms were in disrepair and had long been dilapidated. Only an old archway was left, barely supporting the dignity of the General's Mansion.
"Then, the rest of the money can be given to Uncle One Arm.
"Uncle One Arm is very powerful. Back then, he was a fierce general on the battlefield. After he was discharged from the army due to serious injuries, he came to the Fan Mansion to become the housekeeper. He actually managed the Fan Mansion in good order.
"If not for Uncle One Arm, I'm afraid the entire Fan Mansion would have collapsed long ago.
"Given Grandfather's character, no matter how much wealth he had, it would all be spent by him. Because he couldn't bear to see the soldiers under him suffer after they left the barracks.
"As long as there is a request, no matter how difficult it is, the Old Master will extend a helping hand."
Many people didn't understand. They thought that the Old Master was a dignified General of Da Xia. Even if he wasn't very rich, he wouldn't be very poor. But in reality, the Old Master … was really a poor man through and through.
"Uncle One Arm's financial management skills are still very strong. Handing the money to him is much more reliable than handing it to Grandfather.
"At least Uncle One Arm knows better than Grandfather how to help those who should be helped."
Chu Mo mumbled and then sighed softly. "It's a pity that this time, I still can't enter Yan Huang City openly. Xia Jie … I wonder if you have entered the palace to be a eunuch!"
"Speaking of which, I really have to thank you. If you hadn't slandered me back then, and admitted your crimes honestly, I, Chu Mo … wouldn't have had such an encounter today. Naturally, I wouldn't have met my master. "
As Chu Mo spoke, his gaze landed on the endless plains in front of him. At this moment, he had already walked out of the mountain range that spanned 10,000 li!
Looking back, the mountains behind him stretched out majestically. Chu Mo was a little agitated and said softly, "I've finally walked out!"
"This should be the territory of Da Qi!"
Chu Mo narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance. There, a group of people and horses were slowly making their way over.
At the same time that he discovered them, the other party also discovered him. And then, they increased their speed and headed towards him.
