Having gained such a significant advantage from the Demon Suppression Department, it was only right to show some appreciation.
Chen Mo pondered briefly, then took out a Jade Scroll and inscribed parts of the "Green Lotus Pill Scripture" onto it. Anyone who could comprehend its essence would have no problem breaking through to the Fourth Rank.
"These are the insights I’ve gathered from years of alchemy practice. Pass them around, and feel free to discuss with each other if you don’t understand something."
After saying this, he casually handed the Jade Scroll to the tributor who had been stuck for three years.
The tributor eagerly received the Jade Talisman and immediately immersed his mind into it, suddenly becoming as if petrified in place.
His brow furrowed, expressions shifting, and he murmured to himself, "The Alchemy Dao is like the human path, overly rigid things break easily, imperfections are a form of perfection... Excessively pursuing perfection only leads to losing one’s true self, so it turns out to be like this..."
"If Li Fire is too fierce, the medicine will burn, if Kan Water is too abundant, the pill will scatter. The divine sense must be used to harmonize the Dragon and Tiger, so the practice of alchemy is not about refining pills, but refining the heart!"
"I understand! I’ve got it!"
Witnessing his ecstatic demeanor, everyone’s breathing hastened.
The atmosphere fell into a short silence before erupting like a storm!
Everyone rushed up all at once!
"Let me take a look!"
"Come on, don’t hog it all for yourself!"
"Be careful, Master Chen’s insights are priceless. Can you afford the consequences if it’s damaged?"
Chen Mo quietly slipped away from the courtyard along the wall.
Having finally shaken off that group of alchemy fanatics, he breathed a sigh of relief. As he looked up, he saw a graceful figure standing under the flying eaves of the corridor.
With a face flushed by the morning glow, lips like Shattered Jade, her Moon White Daoist Robe unstained by a speck of dust, she seemed like a snow lotus blooming on the peak of Heavenly Mountain.
"Zhi’er?"
"Mr. Chen, why are you here?" Ling Ningzhi asked softly.
Chen Mo walked up to her, earnestly saying, "Naturally, I’ve missed you. Although it has only been a few days, it feels like years have passed. As soon as I finished the work at the Government, I hurried over here without delay."
"Hmph, I don’t believe you. How could you say such pleasant words to deceive people?"
Ling Ningzhi turned her head with a pout, but the corners of her mouth couldn’t help curling up, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart, dispelling any gloom.
"Zhi’er, did you miss me?" Chen Mo reached out to encircle her slender waist.
Feeling his hand gradually sliding down, Ling Ningzhi blushed, nervously looking around, and whispered, "Stop it, Grandfather is still around. What if he notices?"
Although Old Ling Yishan had long since noticed, teasing his granddaughter right under his nose wasn’t exactly appropriate.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo obediently let go.
Ling Ningzhi feared he might be upset. After hesitating for a moment, she tiptoed and whispered in his ear, "Why don’t we go to a tavern in the city, and I’ll... I’ll let you squeeze me a little, okay?"
Seeing her embarrassingly bashful manner, Chen Mo’s heart accelerated slightly. After pondering for a moment, he said, "No need to go through the trouble. I have a better, more secluded place."
Ling Ningzhi asked curiously, "Where to?"
Chen Mo took out a bronze key from the Heavenly Profound Ring.
As his divine sense communicated with it, the key trembled before flying out of his hand and disappearing into the void, the key handle turning clockwise on its own.

With a soft noise, the void cracked open, revealing a brilliant doorway of light.
Through the door, one could see an Immortal Mountain shrouded in mist, with a tidy little courtyard seated at its peak.
