Chapter 122: Chapter 114: Spiritual Power Materialization

Tang Mo moved all these books back to her room. She had a feeling that these things were somehow related to the paintings on the walls.

Although she didn’t know the exact meaning of the paintings, she knew the ancestors of Wuxi Village wouldn’t have left behind something meaningless.

She had already asked Xiao Tao. Although the houses were built with wooden planks after the apocalypse, the paintings had been passed down by their ancestors.

Even though the people of Wuxi Village hadn’t inherited the knowledge of the Zhou Yi and the Eight Diagrams, they still held the paintings in reverence, replicating all of them on their own houses.

They hoped that in this cruel world, their ancestors would bless them and keep them safe.

Just by reading the books, there was still a lot she couldn’t understand, and now there was no one she could ask.

So, Tang Mo went online to research various materials, teaching herself bit by bit until she could barely grasp the basics.

That entire night, Tang Mo did almost nothing else. She just sat under the lamp, flipping through the pages, book after book, over and over again.

The next day, Tang Mo slept in until she woke up naturally. Ever since leaving school, she rarely had the chance to do so.

As soon as she stepped out of her room in the morning, she heard a fit of coughing from another room.

As usual, Xiao Tao was the only other person home, lying in bed and coughing violently into a piece of paper she held over her mouth.

Xiao Tao was a very smart girl—polite and aware of her boundaries. Honestly, Tang Mo really liked her.

"Are you okay?"

Tang Mo walked in. Since it was just the two of them at home, she felt she should show some concern, even if the question was pointless.

"Not really. I don’t have much time left."

Xiao Tao said this with a smile.

The thing Tang Mo admired most about her was that even when facing hardship, she never burdened others with her negative emotions. Instead, she always showed them her most optimistic side.

That wasn’t easy to do when truly facing life and death.

Tang Mo noticed a shriveled fruit on the table by Xiao Tao’s hand.

Tang Mo had received one from Xiao Hu this morning as well.

Xiao Hu’s haul from yesterday had been poor; these few shriveled fruits were his family’s only food for the day.

Tang Mo had seen too much death, but when it came to a girl like Xiao Tao facing it, she still felt a knot in her stomach.

Tang Mo knew why. It was because Xiao Tao was the only lucid person in Wuxi Village. If Xiao Tao died, then all these kind people in Wuxi Village would be trapped in darkness forever.

"Wait a moment."

Tang Mo went back to her room, took out a bowl of congee from her Space, and also grabbed two boiled eggs before carrying them into Xiao Tao’s room.

"Eat it while it’s hot."

Without Xiao Tao, she might never have learned the secret of using spiritual power to heal others, nor would she have obtained those books passed down in Wuxi Village.

She probably couldn’t do anything about Xiao Tao’s illness, but she could at least treat her to a meal.

"Miss, this..."

Seeing the steaming hot food, Xiao Tao naturally knew that Tang Mo was a superpower user with a Space ability.

"Hurry up and eat. You need to be full to have the strength to think about other things."

Only after Tang Mo turned and left did Xiao Tao cautiously touch the warm bowl of congee.

She picked up the spoon Tang Mo had prepared, took a small spoonful, and put it in her mouth. In that instant, the scalding, soft, sweet warmth made tears stream down her face uncontrollably.

’Rice is so delicious.’

’I really want to live.’

With Xiao Tao’s situation now weighing on her mind, Tang Mo felt she had to change her previous plan.

Everything had to be moved up.

The weather had been quite good for the past few days, so on the fifth day of her stay in Wuxi Village, Tang Mo set out with a six-person team from the village.

In all her days in Wuxi Village, Tang Mo had never seen the Sect Leader leave the village gates. She had worried that if he didn’t go this time, her plan would be difficult to execute.

But clearly, she had overthought it. The Sect Leader had been constantly thinking about the abnormal treasure Tang Mo had told him about.

If he let Tang Mo go out alone this time, what would he do if she went back on her word and just left with the abnormal treasure?

So, the Sect Leader dragged his fat body along and set out with the group.

Whether it was due to laziness or because all his spiritual power was used for healing, his combat ability was particularly poor.

The members of the group had to fight mutant beasts and protect the Sect Leader the entire way, leaving them half-dead from exhaustion.

In reality, Tang Mo didn’t know of any place to catch insects. She just wanted to go somewhere far away for convenience, so she led the group for a full day before stopping.

"I saw the insects’ burrows here last time. Let’s spread out and look carefully!"

As soon as Tang Mo spoke, the excited group members all lowered their heads and started searching for insects.

Tang Mo walked over to the Sect Leader, who had sat down the moment they dispersed, and whispered in his ear, "Sect Leader, come with me. The abnormal treasure is right nearby."

Tang Mo had intentionally concealed her strength along the way and hadn’t made a move at all.

The Sect Leader thought she was just an ordinary young woman and didn’t take her seriously in the slightest.

Hearing that Tang Mo was going to lead him to the abnormal treasure, he got up and followed without much hesitation.

The forest Tang Mo had led them to was one she had passed on her way to B City. Its environment and terrain were extremely complex.

The trees inside were thick and tall—the perfect place for an ambush.

"Where is it?"

They had already walked for a long time, and now he still hadn’t seen the abnormal treasure Tang Mo mentioned. The Sect Leader’s patience was gradually wearing thin.

"It was right here before. How could this be? Did I remember wrong?"

Tang Mo’s expression was no longer feigning sincerity. Since she had brought the Sect Leader here today, she had no intention of letting him go back.

Just as the Sect Leader was still bent over, searching through the grass with his fat arms, Tang Mo pulled out her Poisoned Dagger and plunged it into his shoulder.

"ARGH!"

He cried out in pain and collapsed to the ground.

"You tricked me?"

An angry roar was directed at Tang Mo.

If he still didn’t understand what was happening by now, then his years as a village leader would have been for nothing.

"Talk. What’s the real story behind the spiritual power healing?" Tang Mo got straight to the point. Time was short, and she didn’t like to play games.

"How could you know?!"

The Sect Leader shrieked, his urgent voice cracking.

Compared to her attack, Tang Mo’s last sentence clearly shocked him more.

"But, do you really think you can hurt me with just a sneak attack?"

The Sect Leader’s confidence came from the fact that he was a Spiritual Ability User with a high Spirit Attribute Value.

Although his other attribute values were a bit low, it was more than enough to deal with a little girl.

The moment he finished speaking, Tang Mo felt several blades formed from condensed spiritual power hurtling toward her through the air.

’He can actually materialize spiritual power for a physical attack!’

Tang Mo barely dodged the Sect Leader’s attack.

’Looks like this trip to Wuxi Village will be more fruitful than I thought.’
