Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

“Child Tree Leaves?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo was stunned, quite unfamiliar with the matter.

However, Su Mengyan, being a native of Primordial Heaven, had heard of it. She pursed her red lips in surprise and said, “Is the rumor true?”

Liu Xi nodded, then lightly moved her slender fingers. Two leaves from the World Tree fell into the cups in front of them. She then poured boiling hot water into the cups, saying, “Try it, you’ll know right away.”

Su Mengyan glanced at Liu Xi and then at Chen Mo beside her, and transmitted, “If what she says is true, the value of this leaf will soon surpass Flower God Honey. She’s using such a valuable thing to entertain us; she must have a motive.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo was slightly shaken. Just one leaf, almost rivaling Flower God Honey; indeed, the daughter of the Carefree Sect Leader is wealthy and generous.

Chen Mo did not taste it but asked, “Liu Daoist Friend is offering such a precious tea leaf; what might be the reason?”

Offering favor without reason, either a villain or a thief.

Chen Mo felt it wiser to ask before drinking.

Liu Xi did not answer directly but said, “I heard Chen Mo Daoist Friend is searching for materials to refine the body?”

After the Flower God Blessing yesterday, Liu Xi specifically investigated Chen Mo.

This matter was publicly stated by Chen Mo; not much of a secret.

Chen Mo nodded.

Liu Xi smiled gently, “Just so happens, I have an Immortal Jade Bamboo that is perfect for refining the body, an excellent choice indeed.”

“Would Liu Daoist Friend be willing to part with it?” Chen Mo raised his brow, his expression calm as he spoke.

“If Chen Mo Daoist Friend asks, why talk of parting? As long as you agree to a small request of mine, you may take it.” Liu Xi took a sip of tea, eyes fervently fixed on Chen Mo.

In the scent of Joyful Union Blossoms, the atmosphere became somewhat peculiar.

Chen Mo felt a bit unnerved under her gaze and asked, “What request?”

“It’s simple.” Liu Xi touched her chin with her fingers, then stood up slightly leaning her upper body toward Chen Mo, smiling, “Just be my Dao Companion.”

“No way.” Before Chen Mo could speak, Su Mengyan coldly snorted.

Liu Xi directly ignored Su Mengyan’s words, staring intently at Chen Mo, her voice seductive, “How about it, Chen Mo Daoist Friend? Consider it. You don’t have to give anything; besides, if you and I become Dao Companions, you can do as you wish…”

Her body leaned forward again, her ample chest fully exposed to Chen Mo’s view.

When talking about doing as one wishes, Liu Xi even extended her tongue a bit.

Chen Mo: “…”

Su Mengyan’s eyes seemed to ignite.

“No need to consider, I refuse.” If Chen Mo agreed, how is this different from selling himself? He now has identity and status; if such matters spread, he’d only be ridiculed.

“Brother.” Su Mengyan hugged Chen Mo’s arm, deliberately kissed his cheek, giving Liu Xi a provocative look.

Liu Xi was also stunned, not expecting Chen Mo’s refusal to be so resolute.

What perplexed her even more was why Chen Mo would refuse.

She offered him resources and was willing to share his bed.

Such a rare opportunity, yet he refused…

If he were a devoted man, Liu Xi wouldn’t say anything.

But she inquired; Chen Mo currently has over ten close female friends.

She didn’t ask him to abandon those companions, only to add herself as one.

Why wouldn’t he agree?

Which of the women around him could compare to her?

Most were from the Land of Punishment.

The strongest were Zhao Fujin and Su Mengyan.

But they possess Immortal Bodies, and so does she.

In terms of status, she’s the daughter of the Carefree Sect Leader, far beyond reach.

“Why?” Liu Xi finally voiced her inner doubt.

Of course, Chen Mo couldn’t simply express disinterest; that would offend her.

He pondered and said, “To form a Dao relationship shouldn’t be rushed; it requires time to build feelings. Once the emotions are deep, it naturally follows, but I’ve known Liu Dao Friend for less than two days. Where are the feelings? Forming a Dao relationship would be reckless.”

Hearing this, Liu Xi was taken aback; she seemed to understand somewhat.

From Chen Mo’s words, he seeks a long-term bond.

With such hesitation, she just wanted to play around with him and experience the taste of the Three Immortal Body.

Unwilling to give up, Liu Xi said, “Do you really have deep feelings with all those women around you?”

“Of course,” Chen Mo said, though somewhat guilty inside, at least Ji Xi’Er, Yue Yuxi, Moon Slave, including Su Mengyan, were not, only growing fond over time.

“What a pity.” Liu Xi’s eyes stared intensely at Chen Mo, the bitter look on her face disappearing, replaced by slight grit.

Moments later, she drank her Enlightenment Tea in one gulp and then said, “If Chen Mo Dao Friend regrets or reconsiders, you can come to Carefree Sect to find me. My words always count.”

“By the way, this Enlightenment Tea should be drunk while hot; if it cools, the effect will diminish.”

Having said that, Liu Xi got up and left.

“Fox spirit.” Su Mengyan spat at Liu Xi’s departing figure, then rubbed her head against Chen Mo’s shoulder, “Luckily, brother, you resisted her temptation.”

Chen Mo pinched Su Mengyan’s cheek, then raised the steaming Enlightenment Tea in front of him, taking a sip.

Although the tea was scalding hot, it posed no problem for someone in the Divinity Transformation Realm like him.

As the tea entered his stomach, within moments, Chen Mo felt invigorated.

Moreover, Chen Mo sensed his mind becoming remarkably clear.

Chen Mo squinted his eyes, quickly seizing the opportunity to cultivate.

This state was perfect for cultivating high-tier Divine Techniques, proving remarkably efficient.

Chen Mo also simulated an enhancement of this state.

As soon as the state ended, Chen Mo promptly took another sip of tea.

Once he finished the Enlightenment Tea.

Chen Mo unexpectedly advanced his Purple Sky Divine Thunder to the level of Red Thunder.

He opened his eyes, his face filled with shock.

Just one leaf from a child tree of the World Tree was steeped for tea, elevating his Purple Sky Divine Thunder.

If it were the true leaves of the World Tree, how astonishing would it be?

Chen Mo faintly regretted refusing Liu Xi.

“Pa!”

Chen Mo slapped himself; such thoughts were unbecoming.

…

After staying another half day at the Joyful Union Sect, the next day, Chen Mo and Zuoqiu Yiren returned to the Daoist Alliance.

Beginning tedious cultivation.

Half a year passed gradually.

The new Daoist Alliance exam was about to begin.

The Nangong sisters and Jiang Ruoqing had already arrived in Eight Trigrams City.
