Chapter 187
It wouldn't be accurate to say this is purely alchemy; it merely encompasses that aspect.
In addition to refining external elixirs, it also includes methods for controlling them.
"A volume of Xuan Dan Jing, a volume of Shen Dan Jing."
"Could these two create some kind of synergy...?"
Li Mo recalled the divine skill he had just acquired today.
"The Heaven-Transforming, Earth-Turning Human Path Killing Hammer" consists of three forms.
The requirement for the first form is to have at least seven Xuan Dans within one's body, forming the Big Dipper, in order to harness the power of the stars to strike down from the heavens.
Counting the sword pill, he still needed four more Xuan Dans.
Practicing on his own, he had no idea how long it would take.
This was also a flaw of the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Xuan Dan Jing," which required a significant amount of time to accumulate.
"What if I refined external elixirs instead?"
Young Li's mind began to race.
He remembered that Elder Xue had made similar attempts, and although those attempts faced some setbacks, they ultimately succeeded with him and his senior brother Xiao Bao.
Was there a possibility?
Could the problem lie with the elixirs themselves?
If the elixirs refined using the "Tai Qing Jin Ye Shen Dan Jing" could share similarities with those of Xiao Bao, could he successfully replicate Elder Xue's theory?
Li Mo's thoughts spiraled, and he considered many possibilities.
However, in the end, he shook his head slightly.
"Too bad Elder Xue isn't in Yunzhou."
"Otherwise, I could just ask him..."
It was a frustrating feeling to possess divine skills that he couldn't utilize.
Li Mo still hoped to quickly turn them into his own, to make them a part of his arsenal.
After a bit of research, he realized that his martial arts insights had been completely drained.
This external elixir technique was also directly imprinted in his mind.
After pondering for a while, he felt his head grow heavy, the mental burden weighing down on him.
"It's almost midnight."
Li Mo glanced out the window at the moon hanging high in the sky.
He stepped out of his room and approached the door of Bing Tuozi.
As he looked at the closed door, he was about to knock.
*Bang—*
The door swung open.
Their eyes met.
...
P.S.: Typos will be corrected later.
I saw the audience's guest comments! I’ll arrange a few cameos later, but I can’t guarantee the characters will be serious...
Tomorrow, I have to move, so I need to get up early to write. Mwah!

**Chapter 200: Her Bright Moon Illuminates Him**
Moonlight streamed through the door, filling the room with a soft, radiant glow.
Their eyes met.
Both paused for a moment.
Li Mo looked at Bing Tuozi, who had her dark hair tied in a braid cascading over her shoulder, her sleeves rolled up as if she had just finished some housework.
In her cool demeanor, there was a perfect blend of serene charm.
It seemed... not so glaring anymore?
Bing Tuozi's new look—Homebody Empress?
Hmm... the room was surprisingly tidy, every corner spotless, even the walnuts on the table gleamed...
It was quite unexpected.
He stared, dumbfounded.
Bing Ying spoke softly, "I had some free time, so I tidied up a bit."
Li Mo pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned serious and exclaimed, "Palace Jade Liquid Wine!"
Bing Ying: "?"
What on earth?
Li Mo fell silent for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Prosperity and Democracy?"
Bing Ying: "..."
Li Mo felt increasingly strange.
If she didn't even know that, it seemed she was different from him, not having unraveled the mysteries of her past life or awakened any memories.
Then...
"It's almost midnight."
Bing Ying walked over to the bed and patted the mattress.
Li Mo stepped forward, deep in thought, and approached the bed.
It was a single bed, rather small.
They had shared a bed before, even soaked in hot springs together, but now, as Li Mo sat down, everything felt off.
"Are you ready?"
Seeing Li Mo's unusual discomfort was rare for Bing Ying, a hint of amusement flickered in her eyes as she tilted her chin.
It seemed the benefits of a clear mind weren't solely reflected in martial arts... but also in inner strength.
She wouldn't react like she did during the last punishment for the defeated, when they soaked in the hot springs together.
She absolutely wouldn't.
Just as she thought this, the light around her dimmed suddenly.
"This bed is a bit small."
Li Mo shook his head.
As he sat down, he blocked the moonlight streaming in from outside.
The second layer of "Phoenix Ming Tian Ze" required both parties to be in a state of observation for the best effect.
"Then I’ll sit on the floor," Bing Ying said softly.
"Sit on the floor..."
Li Mo glanced at the ground, then suddenly had a thought.
He sank into the system space.
When he categorized the rewards earlier, it seemed he had received quite a few miscellaneous items.
For example, an adjustable massage chair.
*Bang—*
Two massage chairs appeared in the room.
He lay back on one, feeling surprisingly comfortable, and his mood lifted.
Seeing this, Bing Ying walked over without hesitation and lay down on the chair beside him, just like Li Mo.
A soft sensation enveloped her back.
She gazed up at the sky, where a bright moon hung high.
The tranquil and leisurely atmosphere deepened, making it the perfect moment for observation.
"Hand."
"Okay."
A cool, smooth sensation flowed from his palm.
Completely different from the daytime, Li Mo now felt much more from Bing Ying's consciousness, experiencing her strength on a deeper level.
"Mm..."
Bing Ying fixed her gaze on the moon.
At the same time, the moonlight that Li Mo observed within her consciousness became increasingly clear.
"I currently have two apertures in observation, while you only have one."
"I'll release a bit of my consciousness."
"Alright."
This was actually quite similar to the first layer of "Phoenix Ming Tian Ze."
After all, it was the same martial art.
Li Mo became serious.
He was now standing at the threshold of the second aperture.
In the next moment.
He felt a cool sensation in his mind.
He had been unable to observe the external moon, yet now, thanks to Bing Ying, the moonlight from outside illuminated his consciousness.
He felt no discomfort, but it was somewhat strange.
The sliver of moonlight brought by Bing Ying seemed fundamentally different from what he was observing.
"Indeed..."
Bing Ying had noticed this during the day.
Though there were three suns in the heavens and earth, the moon was always singular.
The more they practiced together, the more she discovered that the moon Li Mo observed had many different details.
Yet, despite being unfamiliar, it also gave her a strange sense of familiarity.
Half an hour later.
As their consciousnesses flowed together.
Li Mo let out a gentle sigh, "I can still strengthen my consciousness further."
Bing Ying's eyelashes fluttered slightly: "That's already everything."
Currently, Li Mo's second aperture remained unopened.
Yet, despite having one less than her, the strength of their consciousness was nearly indistinguishable.
Moreover...
Why was his second aperture so solid?
It made her feel as if she were breaking through her own five or even six apertures in observation.
She was a dual divine form, though neither was a complete manifestation of the Great Dao.
"What should we do...?"
Li Mo was at a loss.
"Empty your mind and focus solely on operating 'Phoenix Ming Tian Ze,'" Bing Ying suddenly said.
"Mm?"
Li Mo was puzzled for a moment, but then he followed her advice.
In the next instant.
The connection between their consciousnesses grew even tighter.
He seemed to feel Bing Ying's emotions at that very moment.
She was very serious.
Emmmm...
Li Mo felt as if he were playing ADC in a duo lane, suddenly having his phone snatched away, with a support who thought he was terrible, trying to play two accounts at once...
Not just serious.
He seemed to sense the tranquility within Bing Ying's heart, that powerful and unshakeable spirit...
---
This deeper level of spiritual exchange was brought about by their connection.
In the next second.
In Bing Ying's serene eyes, two distinct yet harmonious moons appeared.
She controlled the power of their two consciousnesses, beginning to help Li Mo break through the second aperture of observation!
That aperture, originally flawless as jade, was indestructible.
But Bing Ying's technique left Li Mo in awe!
She simultaneously controlled their consciousnesses, alternating and relentlessly striking the same point of the aperture.
That point was small.
But Bing Ying's control was meticulous!
Creating a flaw where there was none?
