Chapter 11: Heaven and Earth Sword Body and Rewards

"You're awake. Don't move, your injuries haven't healed yet. Let me help you up." A joyful voice came from outside the cave. Zi Yu Di held a stalk of herb in her hand as she swayed her hips and walked over.

Perhaps it was because of the kiss earlier, but when Zi Yu Di approached Chen Mo, her face blushed inexplicably upon seeing him.

She stepped forward to help Chen Mo up, placing one of his arms on her shoulder and helping him sit up.

She then went to Chen Mo's back and untied the bandage. "I haven't cleaned up all the poison in your body yet. Today, I'll clean it up again and apply this herb. That should be enough."

"Herb? You've recovered your memories?" Chen Mo frowned.

"After you fainted that day, I seemed to recall some things. Then, I somehow learned a lot of things. For example, this herb. I know it's used to detoxify. However, I still haven't recalled some important memories."

Zi Yu Di looked at the slightly black wound and pursed her lips. She placed her hands on Chen Mo's shoulder and lowered her head to suck.

"Ah…" The sudden pain made Chen Mo groan inexplicably. This strange feeling made him realize what Zi Yu Di was doing. "Zi Yu Di, you?"

"Pu…" Zi Yu Di spat out the poisonous blood that she had sucked into her mouth. She then crushed the herb with a stone and applied it to the wound. "If the poison in your body isn't dealt with, it will be fatal in the future. Now, it's all out."

"Poison? The arrow I was shot with was poisonous?"

Chen Mo couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.

Damn, I almost messed up.

Chen Mo quickly took out a Grade 1 Detoxification Pill from his backpack and swallowed it. Who cares if there's still poison in his body?

"Fortunately, the poison isn't very strong. However, the residue is deep. I had to suck it three times before the poison was fully removed," Zi Yu Di said as she re-bandaged the wound.

"Three times?" Chen Mo was stunned. "How long have I been unconscious? Where are we now? What about the pursuers?"

"A day and a half. This is an underground cave in the desert. The pursuers didn't seem to come here," Zi Yu Di interlocked her fingers.

"A day and a half."

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes. After such a long time, how could the pursuers not catch up to them? Moreover, given his situation back then, even with Zi Yu Di carrying him, they shouldn't have been able to run far.

Chen Mo felt strange.

But since he couldn't figure it out, he decided not to think about it anymore. It was fine as long as he was still alive.

When Zi Yu Di saw that Chen Mo had suddenly turned silent, her delicate eyebrows knitted together. Soon after, she seemed to have thought of something. Hiding her hands behind her back, she nervously said, "You risked your life to save me, are you in love with me?"

When she saw Chen Mo turn around, a hint of shyness appeared on her face.

"Ah… this…"

Suddenly hearing this, Chen Mo didn't know how to respond. However, Zi Yu Di was so beautiful. Chen Mo would be lying if he said he didn't like her.

But if he were to say that he liked her, his current favorability towards him hadn't reached 100 yet. What if he made Zi Yu Di unhappy?

In the end, Chen Mo decided to be true to his heart. Just as he was about to say that he liked her…

Seeing that Chen Mo didn't reply, Zi Yu Di suddenly covered her red lips with her hand and giggled: "Hehe, don't be afraid. I'm just joking!"

Hearing this, Chen Mo swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He smiled and said: "I thought it was real. You scared me."

Hearing this, Zi Yu Di's eyes darkened. She pursed her lips and didn't say anything else.

The originally tranquil cave was now extremely quiet.

Both parties didn't speak.

Chen Mo was afraid that he would say something wrong and reduce the favorability that he had accumulated with great difficulty. He thought that it was better for him to develop wretchedly.

[Ding, favorability -1]

Chen Mo: "…"

I didn't say anything and the favorability decreased.

Chen Mo: "That…"

"Your injuries haven't healed yet. You need to rest. The sky is getting dark. I'll go out and find some food…" Zi Yu Di swayed her waist and went out.

"Then be careful," Chen Mo said.

There was no reply.

Chen Mo: Which step did I make a mistake?

Unable to figure it out, Chen Mo simply opened his attribute panel.

Then, he was a little scared.

What exactly happened while I was unconscious?

[Name: Chen Mo]

[Race: Human]

[Cultivation: 3-star Dou Shi]

[Host Level: Lv1 (50/100)]

[Bound to Goddess: Zi Yu Di. Favorability (49). When favorability reaches 100, can become dao companions.]

[Cultivation Method: Supreme Primordial Chaos Technique]

[Skills: Kun Peng Wings (Can be advanced), Cloud Steps, Mysterious Thunder Palm]

[Bloodline: Normal]

[Favorability Coins: 22]

[Physique: Heaven and Earth Sword Body (Can be advanced)]

[Charm: Banished Immortal Temperament]

Chen Mo noticed that not only did the host's level exp reach 50, but there was also a new attribute in the attribute panel: Physique and Charm.

He remembered that before he fainted, he didn't have the Banished Immortal Temperament.

Chen Mo tapped on the Kun Peng Wings. It was currently at the Elementary Mystic Stage. If he wanted to advance it to the Intermediate Mystic Stage, he would need to spend 15 favorability coins.

Chen Mo didn't choose to advance it. Instead, he looked at the Heaven and Earth Sword Body.

According to the system's introduction, Chen Mo's Heaven and Earth Sword Body was still at the Small Success stage. There were still Large Success and Perfection stages.

However, just the Small Success stage of the Heaven and Earth Sword Body would allow him to condense his qi into a sword and produce sword qi. He would be able to perfectly execute sword techniques below the Heaven Stage with just a glance.

And to advance the Heaven and Earth Sword Body to the Large Success stage, he would need 30 favorability coins.

After reaching the Large Success stage, he would be able to condense his Sword Heart and use his qi to control the sword. He would be able to become one with the sword and control all swords in the world.

From the Large Success stage to the Perfection stage, he would need 100 favorability coins. However, the introduction was blocked.

Comparing the two, Chen Mo felt that it was better to save up 30 favorability coins to advance the Heaven and Earth Sword Body.

Chen Mo looked at his backpack again.

[Discovered a bottle of Marrow Washing Liquid, Enlightenment Time x7, Tier 1 Alchemy Refinement Technique, Tier 1 Energy Recovery Pill, Dou Huang Sky Thunder Blood Eagle Beast Flame, and 1 Star Dou Huang Experience Card.]

Seeing these, Chen Mo instantly felt as if he had become rich overnight. He actually had the thought that he could block an arrow.

Chen Mo first used the Energy Recovery Pill to recover some of his qi.

Then, he used the Marrow Washing Liquid to cleanse his marrow, widen his meridians, and improve his physique.

Then, Chen Mo had diarrhea.

Not only was the color disgusting, but it was also extremely smelly.

Chen Mo quickly covered it with yellow sand.

Not long later.

Zi Yu Di picked some mushrooms and walked in. Although she was still angry at Chen Mo, after sniffing, she couldn't help but ask, "What's so smelly?"

"Uh… I killed a very big smelly bug," Chen Mo said.

"Where's the smelly bug?"

"I buried it." Chen Mo pointed to a small sand dune in the distance.

Zi Yu Di didn't think too much about it.

...

At night.

After eating the roasted mushrooms, Chen Mo meditated and prepared to refine the Sky Thunder Blood Eagle Beast Fire.

Zi Yu Di folded her hands on her lower abdomen, lowered her head, and said with a pleasant and cold voice,

"Do you think that Snake-People and humans can be together?"

Hearing this, Chen Mo immediately thought of the hero Xu Xian and blurted out, "Of course."
