The toad poison beast’s size expanded to 1,300 to 1,400 ters, and the poisonous spirit energy growing on its back beca more concentrated, even allowing the cultivation of spiritual materials.
Han Cai divided Qinghong Workshop into various districts, governed by respective governnt offices.
The reconstruction of the town had just reached its preliminary stage, yet tens of thousands of mortals began engaging in land reclamation.
Although they hadn’t entered Tao, they were able to adapt to the erosion of poisonous smoke.
All thanks to organ modifications.
Han Cai had presided over the port’s dical hall for over a hundred years and was extrely skilled in organ modification. Coupled with the hundred doctors allocated by the Heart Beast Sect, mortals quickly beca immune to poisonous smoke.
Their skin generally appeared slightly greenish, with necks bearing organ-like structures resembling qi sacks.
Their breathing prevented toxins from invading blood, flesh, and bones. The toxicity was controlled at a minor level that didn’t damage their foundations, enabling their bodies to gradually adapt.
In contrast, the Spider Poison Sect lacked thods to resist the erosion of poisonous smoke. Despite their manpower, they could only use mortals as expendable resources for producing spiritual materials.
The supply of Monkey Head Wine was relatively limited, so the Heart Beast Sect screened mortals with high talent to guide them into Tao.
Other mortals weren’t without opportunities either, as the production of Monkey Head Wine was steadily increasing. In a few years, it would be sufficient to support tens of thousands in cultivation.
"Quack."
The toad poison beast awakened, signaling it had completely digested the lizard poison beast.
It crawled toward the Blessed Land Cave Heaven, using its tongue to roll up deceitful objects there and consu them, indicating it wouldn’t take long to resu traveling.
The Loose Cultivators hastily retreated from the Blessed Land Cave Heaven.
The town built temporarily near the Blessed Land Cave Heaven beca desolate; even the black market turned barren.
However, Han Cai intentionally allowed the black market to remain, deliberately leaving so Beast Cultivators to maintain it, along with establishing a Nearby Array.
The Four Seas Comrce relied entirely on the Nearby Array to spread across various black markets.
Although they couldn’t set up arrays for teleporting living beings, enabling resource exchange between black markets posed no problem.
Should the Heart Beast Sect attain the status of a major Immortal Sect in the future,
with the Nearby Array, it could easily establish a comrcial empire and effortlessly gather resources from all corners of the earth.
The Heart Beast Sect currently had potential but lacked high-level Beast Cultivators.
Thus, they could only conduct minor operations; otherwise, they would inevitably attract the attention of other factions.
After the toad poison beast destroyed the Blessed Land Cave Heaven, it closed its eyes to rest, while cultivators who had no interest in remaining at Poison Clothes Qinghong Workshop gradually left.
Li Mo seized the mont while Spirit Root Worms were still being nurtured, spending over ten days setting up a large array.
The array, nad "Rock," served to block the external Gang Wind. Specifically, it was an enhanced version of the Spider Poison Sect’s array.
Li Mo focused his mind on the Spirit Root Worms while diverting his consciousness to inscribe the array patterns.
He chose to use his Divine Sense to command the multiple limbs of the White Bone Treasure Body, a grisly yet undeniably efficient thod.
One complex pattern after another sank into walls and floor tiles, transforming Poison Clothes Qinghong Workshop into an integrated structure, leaving onlookers overwheld.
Even mortals unversed in the Array Tao found it extraordinary.
Huangmu Taoist looked at Li Mo with increasing reverence. Ten plus arms crafting the array was far beyond simple multitasking.
This demonstrated that Li Mo’s Divine Sense had already surpassed imagination.
Once the Rock Formation array was complete, Li Mo exhibited no hesitation at all.
Huangmu Taoist watched as Li Mo returned to the poison beast’s head, sincerely believing that even immortals couldn’t compare to him, and that Qing Mountain Senior’s grand path held genuine prospects.
As he lost himself in thought, Li Mo’s transmitted voice broke through: "Once the poison beast resus its journey, you can co find through the Gang Wind."
"Thank you, Senior."
Huangmu Taoist was overjoyed to receive guidance from Li Mo.
Li Mo also consulted Han Cai, but received no definitive reply, clearly showing that the doctor still harbored various misgivings.
Of course, Han Cai wouldn’t have to endure the trial of the Gang Wind.
The Mountain Protection Array left behind by the Spider Poison Sect was also repurposed to protect farmland outside the city, and the Spirit Stone expenditure wasn’t even worth ntioning to Li Mo.
Six months later.
The toad poison beast began moving southward.
Its travel speed noticeably increased, with each leap covering over twenty li.
"Hiss..."
Li Mo sucked in a cold breath; the long-absent body refining through Gang Wind made him feel excruciating pain, as the Gang Wind beca pervasive and inescapable.
Fortunately, Da Ai Mi Tian had already completed its transformation, providing significant benefits to his physical body.
"Truly, an intense sting."
Li Mo’s expression was peculiar. The Gang Wind wasn’t simply composed of sharp wind blades—it also carried countless traces of turbid spiritual energy.
As the Gang Wind struck his body, the spiritual energy slowly seeped inside.
Li Mo shed his old and new skin to prevent damage to his Magic Treasure from the Gang Wind.
Standing atop the poison beast’s head, he gazed into the distance. Was it an illusion, or did the toad poison beast’s journey seem less directionless?
"According to the pattern, it’s highly likely to encounter another Qinghong Workshop next. I might gain insight into Twelfth Senior Sister’s intentions."
Li Mo stood motionless for a long ti until his body adapted to the Gang Wind, then he sat cross-legged.
He turned his gaze back to the town, which despite the poisonous smoke, appeared lively and thriving.
It happened to be winter now; the people likely prepared decorations for the Lunar New Year.
Amid the bustling spirit of human life, the unease in Li Mo’s heart began to dissipate. He also noticed Huangmu Taoist standing atop the city wall.
Huangmu Taoist refrained from recklessness.
Attempting to break through the Gang Wind with a Core Formation Stage cultivation required thorough preparation.
Magic Artifacts, Spirit Talismans, Elixirs, and Corpse Wine—all indispensable; otherwise, the only outco was death.
"Not bad, he does have talent. Han Cai has a keen eye for people."
Li Mo shifted his focus away from Huangmu Taoist. His attention turned to the Corpse Mountain Mini World, where the Cutting All Three Corpses Taoist Body was stored at the main peak summit.
The Cutting All Three Corpses ability allowed the creation of Three Corpse Worms within the Three Elixir Field.
Each Three Corpse Worm had remarkable uses and was once among Li Mo’s shortlisted targets for acquiring a Taoist Body.
Li Mo worried the Spirit Root Worms might harm Cutting All Three Corpses. However, the Illusion Spirit Root rely borrowed the body to undergo a transformative rebirth through insectification.
Cutting All Three Corpses appeared slightly swollen, with a slight protuberance along its spine.
Upon closer inspection, a slender Illusion Spirit Root could be seen wriggling along the back.
Li Mo spared no innate essence, both to expedite the nurturing process and to ensure the success of the Spirit Root Worms.
Although he had extracted tens of thousands of Illusion Spirit Roots from the Xia Dao Sect’s corpse, the Spirit Root Worms required an Ascaris Body, and failure in refining them would result in wasted effort.
Innate essence slowly seeped into Cutting All Three Corpses.
The Illusion Spirit Root beca increasingly active, secreting faint traces of Void Spirit Qi, giving Li Mo the illusion that Kunlunzi had never perished.
After consuming over a century’s worth of innate essence, the Spirit Root Worm erged from the Taoist Body’s mouth.
The Spirit Root Worm had undergone a complete tamorphosis, now resembling the jade-like structure of a tree root.
Li Mo carried the Spirit Root Worm outside, refining it with his Divine Sense.
When his consciousness could connect with the Spirit Root Worm, his expression turned fervent, and the environnt within half a ter of him began to transform.
The coarse toad skin split with cracks, and suddenly seemingly authentic green grass sprouted.
Next ca towering ancient trees.
Li Mo examined the illusion realm, discovering it still fell short of Kunlunzi’s level—the flaws in the illusion were obvious.
Moreover, the illusion realm was limited to a half-ter radius.
To deploy an illusion realm comparable to Kunlunzi’s, the Spirit Root Worm needed to advance to the level of a Magic Treasure and required an imnse number of corpses as support.
Thus, the Corpse Mountain Mini World remained the most suitable location for the Spirit Root Worm.
"Driving the Spirit Root Worm depletes Divine Sense, which sets it apart from ordinary magic artifacts."
Li Mo retrieved the Spirit Root Worm, directing it to crawl into the Chaotic Burial Mound within the small world. The Spirit Root Worm promptly burrowed into a tenant’s grave.
The tenant chosen by the Spirit Root Worm had no cultivation in life and was an abandoned Artifact Embryo discarded by the Mother Furnace.
Li Mo’s formidable Divine Sense depleted by one to two percent, but the Spirit Root Worm successfully cultivated an Illusion Spirit Root inside the corpse before climbing out of the grave.
The Corpse Mountain inherently generated Yin Attribute Spiritual Energy, but now it possessed an additional source of Void Spirit Qi.
Nourished by Void Spirit Qi, the Spirit Root Worm automatically continued its refinent, completing the First Refinent in re breaths.
"......"
Li Mo furrowed his brow, commanding his mind to extract the Illusion Spirit Root from the corpse.
As a result, the Spirit Root Worm was instantly reverted to its original form, and all traces of its subsequent refinent vanished, returning to its state as an artifact embryo.
"Everything is an illusion—the Spirit Root Worm has consistently carried forward the characteristics of Xia Dao."
Li Mo transplanted an Illusion Spirit Root into the corpse and observed that it didn’t affect the production of Void Spirit Qi before taking nurous jars filled with Illusion Spirit Roots.
The divided Illusion Spirit Roots from Kunlunzi had long lost their vitality.
After spending several days infusing innate essence, Li Mo revitalized the Illusion Spirit Roots, and after transplanting them into corpses, they similarly contributed to the Spirit Root Worm’s nourishnt.
"Heh."
Li Mo secretly rejoiced at not discarding Kunlunzi’s Illusion Spirit Roots. Otherwise, it would be ages before the Illusion Spirit Roots perated the Corpse Mountain tenants.
The Corpse Mountain Mini World’s tenants exceeded three hundred thousand corpses.
Once over sixty thousand tenants possessed Illusion Spirit Roots, the Spirit Root Worm visibly progressed, completing the Hundred Refinents within half a day.
Ten days passed.
The Spirit Root Worm ascended to a Fake Magical Treasure, nurturing the Illusory Spirit Pattern.
Its refinent process slowed down only at the stage of completing the spirit pattern, yet it was estimated to require only two to three more years to ascend to a Magic Treasure.
"Absurd."
Li Mo had never encountered such a unique Magic Treasure.
He wielded the Spirit Root Worm to deploy an illusion realm. The realm’s authenticity greatly improved, and if the corpse included a Taoist Body, the illusion realm would exhibit extraordinary transformations.
For instance, Cutting All Three Corpses would manifest humanoid shadows with nearly authentic Three Elixir Fields.
The Six Qi Devouring Order enabled the illusion realm to simulate seasonal changes, while a Poison Dao Body infused the realm’s poisonous grasses and beasts with the lethality to kill on contact...
Li Mo hesitated slightly.
The illusion realm inevitably occupied a significant area of the small world, impacting resource production. At present, it lacked evident utility.
"Could the positioning be adjusted?"
The Spirit Root Worm exited the Corpse Mountain Mini World, burrowing into the Mud Pill Palace.
An indistinguishable Daoist Temple materialized within the Mud Pill Palace, with tens of thousands of Taoist silhouettes walking about, each movent fluid and natural.
However, their appearances were relatively indistinct, and their activities relied entirely on Li Mo’s conscious control.
"How can I fully exploit the illusion realm’s value?"
Li Mo fixated on the illusion realm, modifying the Daoist Temple’s structure.
"Wait a mont."
Suddenly, an idea struck him, and books detailing the Supre Three Corpses Nine Worms Technique appeared in the temple.
The Taoists began cultivating the Supre Three Corpses Nine Worms Technique, gradually enhancing themselves under Li Mo’s guidance.
Their spiritual wisdom remained low, but their lives weren’t endangered by deviation. Moreover, their vast numbers compensated for their lack of intellect.
"Although less efficient than Fake Soul Consciousness, the illusion realm’s longevity is its advantage."
"Hehehe."
"The tenants’ lingering consciousness continues to shine, bringing deep satisfaction to this Taoist."
