Chapter 28: Cherishing the Protective Bead

  "Thirteenth Sister!" Mo Fourteen shouted sternly.

  Then, the sound inside the house gradually subsided.

  "Miss." Yunzhi called out softly.

  "Yunzhi sister, don't say more, let's go quickly." Mo Qingchen said.

  Yun Chi led Mo Qingchen, and the two of them quickly walked through the garden, but this time they didn't dare take a shortcut, instead honestly heading towards Yang Yi Yuan.

  "Where have you guys gone?" As soon as he entered the door, Mo Danyan slipped out.

  "Yunzhi sister, you go rest first." Mo Qingchen instructed Yunzhi, then turned to Mo Danyan and said, "Grandfather, I'm going to Fourteenth Uncle's place now."

  "Go to fourteen, how is it?" Mo Danyan asked puzzledly.

  Mo Qingchen truthfully recounted the whole story, and on her way back, she had already thought it through. If she wanted to master the Orchid Finger technique, she must ask Grandfather for help in getting a human body model with marked meridian points; otherwise, even if she practiced diligently for several months, she would still be far from achieving any success - it was simply a pipe dream!

  "So that's it, no wonder you little girl drank wine and still wanted to run to fourteen, these two days grandpa will get the things you want." Mo Danyan said stroking his beard.

  Mo Qingchen felt a faint sense of emotion in his heart, he had only said that he needed a human model to practice a skill, and Grandfather had agreed without asking any questions.

  "Thank you, Grandfather." Mo Qingchen said sincerely.

  Mo Danyan patted Mo Qingchen's head with a big hand and said, "Alright, girl, you go rest early."

  Mo Qingchen bid farewell to Mo Danyan and then washed up before climbing into bed.

  "Finally got one thing settled." Mo Qingchen sighed as he gazed casually at the starry sky outside the window.

  That thirteen aunt looks like a woman with a lot of character, who is her father? The person she's going to marry is actually the cousin of Tiger Head?

  Hua Qianshu, what a beautiful name it is. And that Liu Jie, I wonder what happened to her in the end? Mo Qingchen was lost in thought when he suddenly remembered the crying woman in the woods. His heart skipped a beat as he wondered if she was the Liu Jie mentioned by his thirteenth aunt.

  Mo Qingchen found himself drinking during the day, and after a busy half-day, not only couldn't sleep, but his mind became even clearer. He reached out to take out the secret book of Orchid Finger Seal, and flipped through it under the bright moonlight.

  "Qi and blood are the source of human life, circulating throughout the body, never stopping. The path of their circulation also has a certain rule, and the sequence of their circulation also has a certain order, with no deviation at all, all having their own manifestations. In the human body, there are twelve meridians and 365 acupoints... To practice the Lan Hua point-hitting method, one must first recognize the location of each acupoint, then distinguish the starting and ending points of the meridian routes, and also understand the relationships between each acupoint and the internal organs, brain, qi and blood, five elements, yin and yang, including their interdependence, generation, control and restraint. Only then can one gradually practice and become familiar with them along their paths..."

  As she read on, Mo Qingchen's eyelids gradually drooped down, and the entire book emitting a faint ink fragrance covered her face.

  On the second day, Mo Qingchen woke up early as usual and went to Chaoyang Hall with Yun Zhi.

  "Good morning, Second Grandfather." Mo Qingchen greeted the elderly man in the small hall.

  The old man was originally named Mo Dahu, but due to his limited qualifications and lack of opportunities, he had been stuck in the initial stage of refining his energy for his entire life. As a result, the children of Chao Yang Tang, although young, did not show much respect towards him. Only Xiao Shi Liu would greet him every day with great politeness. His impression of Mo Qingchen was also quite good due to this. Seeing that she had yet to enter the first level of refining her energy, and sympathizing with her situation, he felt a pang of pity when he saw her still smiling and greeting him as usual.

  "Xiao Shi Liu, come here." Mo Da He said suddenly.

  Mo Qingchen was taken aback, and every day he came to the Chaoyang Hall, greeted this Second Master, and then had nothing else to say. Sometimes Second Master would respond with a sentence or two, sometimes just smile and nod his head. Why did he suddenly call out to him today?

  "Second Grandfather?" Mo Qingchen walked up to Mo Dahu's side and shouted upwards.

  Mo Dahe reached into the pocket at his waist, rummaged around for a long time, and pulled out a red bead chain: "Little Sixteen, Second Master has never given you a meeting gift before. Today I'll make it up to you."

  Mo Qingchen unexpectedly gazed at the string of red agate-like beads, then looked at Mo Dahu's expression, and finally accepted them saying: "Thank you, Second Grandfather."

  "Xiao Shi Liu, this red bead is called a protective bead. It was obtained by Second Grandfather when he went out in his early years. It's not a precious object, the only benefit is that even if it's an ordinary person without spiritual power, when encountering danger, the bead will self-destruct and neutralize some of the damage." Mo Da He said in a low voice.

  "Second Grandfather..." Mo Qingchen looked at the old man's face full of wrinkles, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

  "Take it, Little Sixteen, hurry up and go cultivate." Mo Dahu said, then closed his eyes as he did every day.

  Mo Qingchen silently bowed down in front of Mo Dahu, who had his eyes closed, before stepping into the flower gate.

  A day of cultivation passed in the blink of an eye. Unexpectedly, Mo Ran didn't come today, and as a result, Mo Qingchen's ears were much clearer.

  On the way back, Mo Qingchen and Hu Tou walked together as usual. Looking at Hu Tou's red face, Mo Qingchen smiled and said: "Hu Tou, you haven't sobered up from yesterday's drinking yet?"

  "Hu Tou Qi said: 'Who hasn't woken up from their wine yet? I'm fine.'"

  "What's with your red face?" Mo Qingchen pointed at Hu Tou's cheek.

  The tiger stretched out a finger and pointed at the sun: "It's too sunny!"

  "Alright, alright, the sun is shining." Mo Qingchen saw that the little guy was about to get annoyed and hastily agreed. He then remembered something else and asked in a low voice, "Hutou, don't you have an older cousin named Hua Qianshu?"

  "Huh? How did you know?"

  Then she clapped her hands and said: "Ah, I know! It must be because my brother is too handsome, so many girls know him!"

  Mo Qingchen rolled her eyes: "Tiger Head, I'm only six years old, okay?!"

  "Huh? How did you know?"

  "I happened to hear about it, you tell me, what kind of person is your cousin?" Mo Qingchen suddenly felt like the big bad wolf deceiving Little Red Riding Hood.

  "Honestly, I don't know either. My brother left very early and joined a very powerful immortal cultivation sect. But not long ago, my brother came back and was very good to me. I really like him, and Grandpa and the others all like him too."

  "Huh, are you referring to those days when you didn't go to Chaoyang Hall?" Mo Qingchen asked.

  "Huh, yeah. Grandpa was already over sixty years old, and Father said that for a cultivator, if they can't succeed in building their foundation by the time they're seventy, then they'll never have another chance. So our clan held a huge banquet to celebrate Grandpa entering the foundation-building period, and at that time, Qian Shu was always sitting beside Grandpa."

  That Huajian Tree, could it have anything to do with Grandpa Huto's sudden success in building his foundation at over sixty years old? Mo Qingchen thought subconsciously.
