186: Mo Yingying: Dad, come here, let me introduce to you—

Returning to Chixia Peak.

Mo Fan immediately took Little Black to the Spirit Spring.

As for Equality for All Beings?

Mo Fan didn't really dare to borrow it.

That item was for Little Black to save its life.

If he borrowed it, Little Black would probably be dead on the spot.

Of course, what Mo Fan didn't know was that even with only its innate abilities, Little Black could, to a certain extent, avoid Heavenly Dao's correction.

The drawback was that it wasn't very durable; it would easily be exposed after a long time.

Therefore, only Equality for All Beings, combined with its invincible stealth talent, could perfectly avoid Heavenly Dao's correction and happily enjoy life.

Soon, Mo Fan brought Little Black to the Spirit Spring.

The Spirit Spring was clear, reflecting green mountains and clear waters, exuding rich Spiritual Qi, a truly delightful sight.

Fish of various postures swam leisurely in the Spirit Spring, swaying left and right, carefree, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

"Meow? Are the fish you grilled for This Cat in the Military Camp caught from here?" Little Black's eyes lit up, staring at the Spirit Fish and drooling.

"It's right here. Do you want me to catch a couple for you to grill and eat?" Mo Fan asked, feeling a little guilty.

Although this place was called the Spirit Spring.

It wasn't actually small.

It covered an area of over five thousand mu, looking quite vast.

And the fish in the Spirit Spring were raised by the foodie Senior Martial Sister, Chen Sirou.

Mo Fan only occasionally came to catch a few, storing them in his system space as reserve ingredients.

"No need, no need. This Cat isn't hungry yet. When I'm hungry, I'll catch fish myself, and then I'll find you to grill them for me!

"I won't talk to you anymore, This Cat is going to start slacking off. Call me when it's time to eat—"

Little Black plopped into the Spirit Spring, swimming happily, meowing and chasing the Spirit Fish, having a grand time.

Watching this scene, Mo Fan couldn't help but cover his forehead.

A cat swimming, somehow, looked a bit odd.

Fortunately, the kasaya was hidden by Little Black, otherwise it would have looked even stranger.

After watching from the shore for a while.

Seeing Little Black playing with increasing enthusiasm, seemingly unable to stop for a while, Mo Fan thought for a moment and instructed through a mental message:

"I have things to do. You can play here slowly by yourself. Come find me when you're tired."

Pausing, Mo Fan seemed to think of something and added:

"In our era, humans, demons, and monsters are incompatible. Don't speak casually when you have nothing to do. Try to pretend to be an ordinary cat. Absolutely do not get into conflicts with people."

"Okay meow, I know. You go do your own thing. This Cat will be careful—"

Little Black didn't even turn its head, continuing to chase the Spirit Fish, doing breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, freestyle, whatever felt comfortable, completely at ease.

Seeing this, Mo Fan smiled and turned to leave.

He was quite relieved about Little Black.

Although this fellow was a cat, it was exceptionally reliable... "Eh, what's this?"

As soon as he returned to the Immortal Cave, Mo Fan was slightly surprised.

On the living room table, there was a delicate and small bracelet.

Under the bracelet, a hastily written note was pressed down.

Unfolding the note, Mo Fan read it carefully.

The content was brief, only one sentence:

"Old Mo, there's a surprise for you in the storage bracelet, open it and take a look~"

Mo Fan pondered for a moment and smiled slightly.

Before entering the Secret Realm, he had called his daughter.

At that time, his daughter had just returned and said she brought him some Origin Stones, wanting to give him a surprise.

Mo Fan didn't pay much attention to this.

He estimated that his daughter could bring back at most one or two hundred Origin Stones.

If it had been three or four months ago, one or two hundred Origin Stones would indeed have been quite good for him, worth tens of thousands of attribute points, enough to add points several times.

But now... after his cultivation reached Destiny, adding points once required a million attribute points.

Thus, one or two hundred Origin Stones could only be considered a drop in the bucket.

"The Secret Realm is full of dangers. This girl was followed by Little Black all the way in the Yuxu Academy Secret Realm without noticing anything.

"Other Secret Realms might also have living creatures, it's too dangerous.

"I need to properly warn this girl not to run around in the Secret Realm unless absolutely necessary. It's better to improve her cultivation slowly than to compromise her safety. Adventuring to find Origin Stones for me is even more unnecessary—"

Thinking this, Mo Fan took out his phone, preparing to call his daughter.

However, before that, he still planned to look at the storage bracelet first.

Thinking this, Mo Fan injected his Mental Energy into the storage bracelet, resonating with the mysterious Magic Array inside and connecting to the storage space.

However, very quickly, the originally nonchalant Mo Fan immediately gasped.

"What's going on?"

Mo Fan rubbed his eyes, somewhat disbelieving what he saw.

He never expected that the Origin Stones in the storage space had piled up into a small mountain!

"So many Origin Stones? Where did this girl get them from?" Mo Fan felt it was somewhat outrageous, utterly astonished.

Taking a slight breath, Mo Fan composed himself and cast an Appraisal Technique towards the pile of Origin Stones.

AZhanblue virtual panel lit up, and a prompt box popped out.

"[Discovered Low Grade Origin Stone * 10125, can be absorbed and converted into attribute points. Absorb?]

"Over ten thousand Origin Stones..." Mo Fan looked up at the sky in speechless disbelief, feeling somewhat unreal.

After a while, he slowly exhaled, separated 125 Origin Stones as backup, and absorbed the remaining ten thousand Origin Stones.

The virtual panel flashed, and Mo Fan's attribute information automatically popped up.

"[Name: Mo Fan (+)]"

"[Cultivation: Destiny Seventh Layer (+)]"

"[...] (Click to expand/collapse)"

"[Available attribute points: 2 million]"

The available attribute points had increased from the original 1 million to the current 2 million.

"This is truly a timely help—" Mo Fan sighed.

With these attribute points, his cultivation would be able to Breakthrough to the Destiny Ninth Layer in at most twenty days.

By then, he would also be almost ready to prepare for impacting Returning to Origin.

While thinking, Mo Fan picked up his phone, found his daughter's phone number in the contacts, and pressed the dial button.

However, very quickly, an unfeeling prompt sound rang out.

"[Hello, the number you have dialed is not in the service area. Please try again later—]"

Mo Fan frowned.

"Not in the service area? What is this girl doing again?"

Shaking his head helplessly, Mo Fan put away his phone.

After a short rest and tidying up his Immortal Cave, Mo Fan pushed open the door and stepped out.

Having just returned, there were some matters that needed to be handled.

He first went to the Outer Sect Scripture Hall to withdraw the Spirit Stones accumulated over the past few months.

Because it was already saturated.

After several months, Mo Fan's Innate Art and Vajra Fist only earned him 6,000 Spirit Stones.

When exchanging Spirit Stones, Mo Fan once again offered to share some with Grandpa Qin, so that his cultivation could advance another layer, and informed the other party that he hardly had any use for these Spirit Stones.

To this, Grandpa Qin once again sternly refused, stating that he was already seventy or eighty years old and would be hard-pressed to achieve anything no matter how much resources were wasted.

"Don't worry about it, old man. I'm doing fine as I am.

"The work is leisurely, I often get to nap, carefree and without worries about food or drink. It's quite good to live out my years like this."

Hearing these words, Mo Fan smiled, left the Outer Sect, and flew on his sword towards Hidden Sword Peak.

In fact, he had also accumulated several months of Spirit Stone subsidies at the Logistics Department.

Mo Fan didn't waste time collecting them.

A few hundred Spirit Stones were as good as nothing to him now.

It's better to save them for now and deal with them whenever he remembers... A few minutes later.

Mo Fan arrived at Hidden Sword Peak on his sword.

Landing on the Sword Drying Plaza, he didn't see a single person. Mo Fan had no choice but to expand his Mental Energy, trying to sense everyone's aura.

However, very quickly, he was stunned, slightly taken aback.

After a while, Mo Fan composed himself and strode towards the backyard.

"Why is Yingying here too?

"Hidden Sword Mountain has no signal year-round, no wonder it prompted 'not in service area' just now.

"But... why did she come to the Sword Pavilion?"

With doubts, Mo Fan walked to the backyard of the Sword Pavilion, and then he gasped, so startled that his eyeballs almost fell to the ground.

He saw his daughter, Mo Yingying, and Xu Jing holding hands, chatting and laughing, looking incredibly intimate and engaged in a lively conversation.

"When did they get so close?" Mo Fan suspected he was hallucinating.

Soon, Mo Yingying sensed Mo Fan's aura, quickly stood up, and said with a joyful expression:

"Dad, come here quickly, let me introduce you—"

(ps: Sorry, I was delayed today by some matters, and then got stuck on a transitional chapter, causing this chapter to be a bit short. Please bear with it for now, I'll write more on the weekend—)
