"But, but..."
"No more buts, Master. Hurry back and try it now. If you find it effective, you must stick to it daily, three tis a day without skipping, and eat three pounds each al... and your apprentice can handle the decoction. Make sure he reminds you to take your dicine on ti..."
"Ah? Oh, oh, okay, got it! I understand!" The young monk, suddenly called out, instinctively answered loudly, nodding repeatedly, indicating he would definitely take on the responsibility of ensuring Master Qinghai takes his dicine daily.
"That’s good, that’s good, go now! Take care on your way!"
And so——
Master Qinghai wore a bewildered expression as he looked at the prescription in his hand. With the support of the young monk beside him, the two slowly turned and walked in the opposite direction of the village.
Gu Mo stood in place, waving, watching the two figures fade into the distance. His smiling expression held for quite a while before he suddenly restrained it.
He softly clicked his tongue before turning to walk towards the village.
"Such a troubleso old bald donkey. Isn’t living well enough..."
As he walked, Gu Mo extended his long index finger to rub his brow. In just that short ti, his spiritual power depleted more than when charming a bunch of people, even though there were only two people... No, it should be said the main consumption was on Master Qinghai.
Because the young monk’s mana was so low it could almost be ignored, capturing him with the Demon Eye was effortless.
But Master Qinghai’s mana was impressive, and his mind was very firm. Even if he subconsciously underestimated Gu Mo, thinking he was just a half-demon, with unstable demon qi and low power, the type of fox demon that likely wouldn’t amount to much, and also not understanding the extraordinary power of the Demon Eye from an exotic world——
He fell into Gu Mo’s sight with no defense in this regard, unknowingly succumbing to the Technique’s influence... But even with all these favorable factors combined, Gu Mo found it quite difficult to successfully suggest sothing to him.
All he could do was use so gestures, vocal cues for inducent, gradually distracting and diverting the old monk’s attention, causing his mind to be unfocused, going along with the diverted rhythm and direction unconsciously, although only for a mont before a flaw appeared and he muddled into it.
And the consumption was quite significant...
But there was no helping it. This was rely a Bronze Quality skill, currently only at LV0. If not for Gu Mo’s spiritual attribute reaching a full 17 points in strength, he wouldn’t have slightly compensated for the artificial Demon Eye’s lack of strength.
"D-damn! You fox demon! I knew you had bad intentions!"
Gu Mo hadn’t walked much further when he heard urgent footsteps and panting behind him, followed by the old monk’s wrathful shout.
Master Qinghai, muddle-headed, had walked quite a distance with the young monk before suddenly realizing, angrily and anxiously throwing down the prescription, and turning back to demand an explanation! The young monk, however, seed to not quite get it, staying far behind, utterly confused.
"Such a detestable fox demon likes to confuse people’s hearts, only capable of such tricks!" Having been careless and overturned in the ditch, old monk Qinghai was, of course, both shocked and angry, but he still thought it was due to his own carelessness that he fell for the half-demon’s trick.
"Master, don’t say that. I don’t like to confuse people’s hearts. It’s just that with you being as old as you are, it’s hard to use other thods to solve the problem. We’re all civilized people; surely, we can talk things out?"
Gu Mo stopped in his tracks, turned back, and sighed, disagreeing with Master Qinghai’s accusations.
What does he an by only capable of such a trick? It’s just not proper to take other asures in such a public setting, like breaking the old monk’s legs and tossing him out of the village... Seriously, even after taking such gentle strategies to try and resolve the issue, how could they not understand his plight?
As for the old monk’s quick realization of what happened, Gu Mo didn’t feel disappointed. It was already quite an achievent for the Demon Eye’s power to take effect once. As it stood, it could only temporarily handle troubles brought by ordinary people or strongly control enemies with weaker spiritual wills. Targets of slightly higher levels weren’t suitable for confronting.
He could only wait for the skill level to improve, or see if there were ways to induce a qualitative change in the artificial Demon Eye’s quality rank...
Of course, there’s also a straightforward approach: relentlessly strengthen one’s spiritual power... What’s wrong with an artificial Demon Eye or being at LV0? If his spiritual attributes reached 50 points or 100 points, the Demon Eye’s fearso reputation would definitely surpass sothing like a "Direct Death Demon Eye" or "Twisted Demon Eye"!
"Ridiculous, bring out your tricks if you have any!" The old monk Qinghai, being skeptical, said angrily after just having been fooled.
"..."
"..."
"Master, ignorance is bliss. Wouldn’t it be better if you just walked away?" Gu Mo shook his head helplessly after a mont of silence, "Do you know how my grandpa lived to a hundred?"
"Your grandpa is also a demon, what’s so special about living to a hundred!"
