**Chapter 142: A Brief Respite in the Flow of Life**
"Family, what can we do to break the situation of Da Lang drinking the medicine?"
"I'm waiting online, it's quite urgent."
---
As everyone knows, the soup made by Bing Tuozi is more than just poisoned broth.
Li Mo suspected he might find some soup within the poison.
"Can’t I just not drink it?"
"You’ve already been drinking it for two days."
Ying Bing looked at him with furrowed brows.
"...Two days?"
Li Mo opened his mouth in surprise.
"Elder Xue's prescription requires three bowls a day for three days."
"Today is the last day."
Ying Bing gently lifted a spoonful of soup and brought it to Li Mo's lips.
Shockingly, the renowned Bing Tuozi was actually taking care of someone.
Fortunately, there were no people from her past life around; otherwise, he might have gouged out his own eyes in disbelief.
Li Mo: "....."
Summoning his courage, he opened his mouth and drank. The taste was slightly bitter, but not unpleasant.
Finally, he understood how that thin inner breath in his meridians was being restored.
So, she had been feeding him every day recently?
The room suddenly fell silent.
Outside the window, the cicadas chirped intermittently, and he could hear his mother shaking the quilt vigorously, while his father was watering the flowers and plants with a splash.
Each sound was familiar; in the past, Li Mo had always found them annoying, making it hard for him to sleep after getting up to use the toilet.
But after being away from home for so long, the clinking of the spoon against the porcelain bowl brought him an inexplicable sense of peace.
The sunlight was warm.
In the hazy dust, every eyelash of the girl sparkled, her eyes bright and clear, radiating a captivating glow.
Li Mo was no stranger to grand scenes.
Yet at this moment, he couldn’t help but be entranced.
"Hand."
Ying Bing suddenly spoke.
"Oh, right."
Li Mo extended his hand.
After she grasped it, their inner breaths intertwined, as always, soothing the tangled meridians.
While channeling her energy, she asked, "How does it feel?"
"Soft."
Li Mo rubbed his hand and replied earnestly.
"?"
Ying Bing looked up, her gaze steady and calm.
Li Mo snapped back to reality, clearing his throat, "I can barely manage to use the Phoenix Crying in the Sky."
"Good."
And so, after many days, the two of them joyfully resumed their dual cultivation.
Outside, Li Da Long happened to pass by and saw the scene inside, quickly stopping in his tracks.
"Is my son awake?"
Just as he was about to greet his son, his wife, Wen Xueqin, covered his mouth.
She even used the family’s secret lightness skill.
"You fool, are you crazy? The kid has a thin skin."
"Right, right, my dear wife is right."
Li Da Long awkwardly shut his mouth, bending his knees to peek inside.
The two of them looked in, their faces adorned with kind, maternal smiles.
Unconsciously or unable to resist, they began to murmur.
"How wonderful, heh heh."
"You see, I always thought that Bing'er should marry into our Li family."
"Absolutely, I’ve watched her grow up."
"Mo'er is also becoming sensible; when he was little, he would pull her hair and wouldn’t listen even when beaten."
"Going out to train has made him more mature."
"Bing'er is so impressive now; she’s already at the Xuan Dan realm. As long as she doesn’t mind our son, that’s good."
"Fortunately, our son is as handsome as I am. Sigh, back in the day, I was also a well-known young man in the area..."
...
Li Mo: "....."
No way.
Dad, Mom, do you really not see me as a martial artist?
To him, even the mosquitoes buzzing outside were crystal clear; their whispers were deafening.
And she has a destiny while I have a burden; I’m not any worse than Bing Tuozi!
Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west! What’s the Xuan Dan? Just wait until I condense three hundred sixty-five of them!
By the way.
Since he could hear them, what about Bing Tuozi...
Li Mo glanced over and found the girl’s serene face, but her sparkling eyelashes were gently trembling...
Got it.
I’ll play along and pretend I didn’t hear anything~
Estimating it was about time, Li Mo cleared his throat loudly.
"Where are Dad and Mom? I haven’t greeted them since I came back."
"They..."
Ying Bing silently shifted her gaze to the window and withdrew her hand.
Before long, footsteps approached.
"Son, did we interrupt you?"
Li Da Long and his wife entered through the door.
Li Mo feigned surprise, "What a coincidence, Mr. Li and the beautiful Ms. Gu, just as I was talking about you!"
"I was just strolling nearby with your mother, yes, just strolling," Li Da Long replied nonchalantly, his tone firm.
"Isn’t it a coincidence, I say."
"Who says it isn’t, indeed."
Old Li and young Li, now equally skilled in banter, could easily chat for hours without missing a beat.
"Are you feeling better? Elder Xue came by today to check on you personally."
Wen Xueqin sat beside him, giving her son a thorough look.
"Resting for two days should be enough."
Next came the family’s warm inquiries.
Li Mo took out the Earth Vein Spirit Milk and healing pills he had prepared long ago, giving several reminders.
His father had lingering old injuries, still stuck at the inner breath realm.
His mother had suffered during childbirth and hadn’t practiced martial arts since.
The couple, moved, repeatedly reminded him not to engage in any illegal activities, like sneaking into the Qingyuan Sect’s storeroom to steal.
Young Li was left speechless.
Their concerns were not unfounded; he had once stolen money from home to buy ice pops and had received a good beating for it.
Ying Bing quietly watched from the side, a serene and relaxed feeling rising in her heart.
As Li Mo would say, this was...
Stealing a brief respite in the flow of life?

**Ding Dong—**
At that moment, the system's daily notification chimed in.
**Countdown to the next ranking comparison: Seven days.**
This time, he didn’t have to worry about facing any penalties for being a loser.
Everything was back on track.
Now, she possessed the Blood Phoenix Essence, the Xiahua Soul, and the True Phoenix Feather.
As the heir of the Yan Tian Sect and a prince of the Da Yu Dynasty, no one at the inner breath realm could possess such treasures.
Even if he condensed a Xuan Dan, it wouldn’t affect her ranking.
The reward for first place would surely be better than that for second.
Thinking of this, Ying Bing found it hard to feel entitled.
Because his contributions were part of it...
---
Two more days passed.
After Li Mo woke up, he took the spirit pills from the system space, recovering at an astonishing speed.
As he had expected.
Breaking through and then establishing himself indeed brought him the opportunity to break through.
He began to focus on condensing the Xuan Dan.
Meanwhile, Ying Bing continued her routine at home, solidifying her realm every night.
Now, her dual Xuan Dan was perfectly balanced, and the Blood Phoenix Essence had truly become her foundation.
One day, after finishing her training, the overwhelming power of the Blood Phoenix Essence gradually faded.
When she opened her eyes, several elders from the Qingyuan Sect, led by Shangguan Wencang, were smiling at her.
"Dual Xuan Dan, and with tremendous opportunities ahead."
"After returning to the sect, choose an auspicious day, and you can enter the main peak's shrine."
Shangguan Wencang spoke with satisfaction.
Ying Bing nodded slightly, knowing that these elders had other matters to discuss.
Qian Bufan spoke up, "We need to understand the situation regarding the secret realm from you first."
Ying Bing and Li Mo hadn’t been together the entire time.
Since Li Mo hadn’t fully recovered, they naturally needed to inquire about Ying Bing’s experiences.
...
P.S.: Actually, there’s nothing special to say, just wanted to say thank you to the audience, muah, heh heh.
I’ll fix any typos later; if you find any, please let me know!

**Chapter 143: Condensing the Xuan Dan Under the Scorching Sun**
In the room.
After taking another Five Elements Purple Spirit Pill, Li Mo quietly assessed his current physical condition.
The tangled meridians had been completely smoothed out, and the nine-petal lotus in his dantian glowed brightly, enveloping the Xuan Dan that had yet to fully condense.
"I'm in better shape now than before."
Li Mo felt it was time to condense the Xuan Dan.
He lined up various pills, ready for any unexpected situations.
He also checked his balance of martial insights and couldn’t help but stretch his back.
Eight hundred sixty years.
That’s equivalent to several lifetimes for an ordinary person.
The wealthy young Li took out that golden page.
