"Ah!"
When Li Mo rubbed more bone forging paste on Aqua's back, Aqua howled in pain.
At this moment, Ah-Shui's face was completely red, and the veins on his forehead were bulging, as if they were about to spurt out blood.
It was clear what kind of torment Ah Shui was going through.
Li Mo stopped when he heard Ah Shui's scream.
Li Mo was quite satisfied with Ah Shui's performance. When others applied the Bone Forging Ointment for the first time, they were lucky to last three times. But Li Mo applied it five times before Ah Shui cried out.
Ah Shui's tenacity was clear to see.
Sweat trickled down Ah Shui's back. The absence of pain was such a comfortable thing.
Feeling that Li Mo didn't continue for a long time, Ah Shui couldn't help but nod to Li Mo with a weak smile.
"B-Uncle Chen … it's fine. I can do it."
It was just a few words, but they were filled with perseverance.
Li Mo said nothing more and continued applying the Bone Forging Ointment on Ah Shui.
Of course, Li Mo kept an eye on Ah Shui's body. Too much Bone Forging Ointment could kill.
But with Ah Shui's perseverance, he would surely last longer than others.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
"…"
From start to finish, Li Mo applied the Bone Forging Paste eight times. The last few times Li Mo applied it, Aqua let out a pained cry.
The last time, Ah Shui fainted.
But even so, Shui didn't tell Li Mo to stop.
If a cultivator's heart was filled with fear, how could he move forward bravely?
Thus, Li Mo was more and more satisfied with Ah Shui's performance.
After applying the Bone Forging Ointment eight times, Li Mo knew he couldn't apply any more or Ah Shui's life would be in danger.
Looking at the bloody and purplish marks on Aqua's back, Ye Zichen couldn't help but sigh.
Li Mo knew the ointment had seeped into Ah Shui's skin, helping him temper his body bit by bit.
He touched Aqua's back, a child of his age.
Even if a child of his age worked on the farm, his back should still be a bit tender.
But now, it was hard, like an old tree's trunk.
Feeling Ah Shui's skin strengthening bit by bit, Li Mo fed Ah Shui some more medicinal wine.
After gulping down five mouthfuls of the medicinal wine, Aqua's aura gradually strengthened.
There was no barrier at the Body Tempering Stage, so in the blink of an eye, Ah Shui's cultivation rose from the sixth level of the Body Tempering Stage to the seventh level of the Body Tempering Stage.
Furthermore, it only stopped when it reached the peak of Body Tempering Stage Level Seven.
The increase in his cultivation caused Ah Shui to wake up. Feeling the changes in his body, Ah Shui said excitedly.
"Uncle Chen!
I broke through!
I broke through! "
Ah-Shui was so excited that he almost jumped up. Breaking through in his cultivation was better than eating any delicious food.
Li Mo chuckled and tossed the bottle to Aqua.
What he meant was for Ah Shui to apply the medicine on his body when he got home. He took the jade bottle.
Aqua stared solemnly at Li Mo and knelt.
He kowtowed three times to Li Mo, only to hear Ah Shui's solemn voice.
"Uncle Chen!
Since you can't speak, I don't know if you accept disciples or not!
But today, I will make the decision on my own. From today onwards, I, Ah Shui, will be your disciple!
Ah Shui's second life was given by you!
From now on, you and mother are all Ah Shui's family! "
After saying that, Ah-Shui got up and ran in the direction of his home with red eyes.
Along the way, he shed tears.
Ever since Ah Shui was small, apart from his mother and the now deceased father, Chen Datong was the only one who treated him the best.
This Chen Datong in front of him treated him the best, so at this moment, Chen Datong's position in Ah Shui's heart was like that of a teacher and a father …
Li Mo didn't have his guard up. He didn't even know Ah Shui would take him as his master.
It had always been the master taking disciples. How could there be such a thing as a disciple taking a master?
But Li Mo was quite satisfied with Aqua. After being with him for so long.
Li Mo knew Ah Shui was the kind of person who knew how to repay kindness.
More importantly, Ah Shui was filial to his mother.
Since the first day he met Ah Shui, he was willing to let those three ruffians beat him up to make up for his mother's health.
Li Mo found Ah Shui to be a good person.
Li Mo chuckled. He didn't expect to find a disciple in Eagle Mountain Camp.
Then Li Mo entered his room and sat in the Spiritual Gathering Array.
"Humph!
Ha! "
"…"
That night, Ah Shui's wooden hut was filled with howls.
These howls seemed to carry endless pain. The ruffians in the surrounding houses.
Ah Shui's howls kept them awake and they were about to teach him a lesson.
But when they heard Ah Shui's howls, they stopped in their tracks.
They thought Ah Shui was a demon, but his howls scared them to a halt.
These ruffians had always been soft on the weak and afraid of the strong.
The next day, a pale Ah Shui came to Li Mo's place.
Today, Ah Shui delivered a big bowl of fish. It seemed Ah Shui's strength had improved and his hunting skills had improved as well.
Li Mo took the fish with a smile and threw the gourd of medicinal wine in his storage bag to Ah Shui.
He couldn't speak when he first came to Eagle Mountain Camp.
Li Mo wasn't used to it, but after so many days, he got used to it.
"He-he."
Ah Shui chuckled and sat next to Li Mo on the threshold as usual.
Li Mo gobbled the meat while Shui gulped down the medicinal wine.
Because Ah Shui had been applying the Bone-Forging Ointment day and night, his body had improved a lot in just one day and one night.
Therefore, this time, Ah-Shui drank seven mouthfuls of the medicinal wine in succession. Only when Ah-Shui felt that his body couldn't take it anymore did he stop.
Li Mo couldn't help but nod at how Ah Shui was able to resist the temptation of improving his cultivation.
Ah Shui thirsted for power, but he knew he couldn't let anything happen to him, or who would take care of his mother?
The worst thing about cultivation was instant success. Who knew when the time came that you'd end up harming yourself?
After seven mouthfuls, Ah Shui closed his eyes and meditated.
Ah Shui's aura rose and soon reached the 8th stage of the Body Tempering stage.
But how rich was the spiritual qi in seven mouthfuls?
It wasn't something that could be digested that quickly.
While Ah Shui was meditating and Li Mo was eating the fish.
A group of people came to Li Mo's hut. More than ten ragged youths surrounded a large man.
This man wore a blue robe. Not to mention his aura, just his clothes weren't something these ruffians could compare to.
"He-he, brother Yong.
If you go, that Chen Datong will be beaten to a pulp! "
One of the youths kept nodding and bowing to the green-robed youth in the middle.
This youth was the ruffian Li Mo beat on his first day in Eagle Mountain Stronghold.
That robust young man was obviously their leader, Huang Yong.
Huang Yong was once at the bottom of the stronghold, but he was the king of ruffians.
Every day he stole people's food, so he wasn't as skinny as the others.
Huang Yong's face was filled with pride at the compliments around him.
Huang Yong dealt with Ah Shui just to test Chen Datong.
If Chen Datong stood up for Ah Shui.
If he couldn't beat Chen Datong, he wouldn't have done anything to him.
Then he'd just apologize and the matter would be resolved.
As a ruffian, Huang Yong never thought apologizing was shameful.
But if Chen Datong didn't stand up, it meant Chen Datong was afraid of him and didn't have the ability to beat him.
So after a few days, Chen Datong still didn't show up.
Huang Yong dared to cause trouble for Chen Datong.
Huang Yong didn't know Li Mo's Chen Datong wasn't afraid of him at all. Chen Datong just didn't want to talk to him.
The crowd arrived at Li Mo's wooden hut just in time to see Li Mo and Ah Shui.
Huang Yong didn't say anything, but the ruffians around him started flaunting their strength.
They scolded Li Mo.
"Sickly old man!
How dare you beat your grandpa! Our brother Yong is here to stand up for me!
Kneel down and apologize! "
"Still eating?
Hurry up and give your fish to grandpa! "
"…"
Seeing the fish in Li Mo's bowl, the youths' eyes lit up and they started shouting.
But Li Mo only cared about eating the fish in front of these swaggering ruffians.
Li Mo even smacked his lips from time to time, as if he wanted to kill these ruffians.
"Stinking tuberculosis!
Beat him up! "
"Brothers, go!"
"…"
With Huang Yong behind them, these ruffians were emboldened.
Seeing Li Mo toying with them, the ten-odd youths rolled up their sleeves and charged Li Mo.
Li Mo's lips curled into a grin at the sight of them.
Then he patted the meditating Ah Shui.
"Don't sleep. Come on."
The moment his hand touched Ah Shui's shoulder, spiritual qi appeared in Li Mo's hand.
This spiritual qi entered Ah Shui's body and helped him move the spiritual qi inside.
In a flash, the spiritual qi in Ah Shui's body that hadn't been absorbed fused with his body.
Body Tempering Stage cultivators mainly cultivated their fleshly body.
Absorbing spiritual qi to strengthen the body would also improve their cultivation.
Aqua opened his eyes. Under the gazes of outsiders,
Ah Shui looked like he was sleeping when Li Mo's pat woke him up.
Ah Shui's eyes were bright, though his face was still pale.
However, that skinny little body seemed to be full of strength.
Ah Shui turned to Li Mo with a smile.
"Don't worry, master."
After saying this, Aqua suddenly stood up.
He threw a punch at the ruffians.
If they were facing Li Mo, they might be afraid.
But Ah Shui was the one they bullied every day.
They looked down on Ah Shui, so why would they be afraid of him?
So when he saw Dou Shui raise his fist to coax him, the ruffian's face immediately showed a hint of malevolence.
"Die!"
The ruffian's hand released spiritual qi. It was at the 8th stage of the Body Tempering Stage.
The ruffian wanted to injure Ah Shui.
"Bang!"
Kacha!
But when the two fists met, the sound of bones breaking was heard.
A ragged youth screamed like a pig being slaughtered as he was sent flying. Who else could it be but the ruffian from before?
The ruffian wanted to beat Ah Shui to the ground, but this time, he was the one on the ground.
"My hand!"
The ruffian fell on the ground, clutching his hand and rolling on the ground.
His head was full of screams, as if complaining about the pain he was in.
