Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

Chapter 697

"He has no pass token, and his discarded Qingming Guard identity certificate has not been retrieved. For such a long time, this person has been stranded in the wilderness."

"He must have had an extraordinary opportunity, otherwise it would be impossible for him to advance from the Spiritualization Stage to the Late Void Refining Stage in just three hundred years."

"However, since he is of the human race, there shouldn't be any major problems, so why should I worry too much."

The skinny old man stared for a moment, then finally shook his head slightly.

Although such events of continuous advancement over hundreds of years are extremely rare, in this wild area, various opportunities emerge in an endless stream and are not unheard of.

If this person has never joined the Tianyuan Guard before, he might try to see if he can recruit him into the Tianwei.

However, now that the other party has left Tianyuan City once, he naturally would not go and cause trouble for himself again.

Therefore, the skinny Sky Guard quickly put the matter behind him and turned his attention to the four Confucian scholars who walked out of the same hall.

……

Lin Mo kept looking down in the escaping light.

After more than three hundred years of baptism, all the buildings in Tianyuan City have hardly changed.

Many black and white armored soldiers can still be seen patrolling at low altitudes in the city, and there are also many foreign practitioners hurrying between the buildings.

The entire city was prosperous, with no trace of previous foreign attacks.

In this way, Lin Mo didn't need to worry about this matter. The light flew straight towards the Tianyuan City Market.

He had no intention of staying in Tianyuan City for long this time.

After more than a hundred years of consolidating his magic power and tempering his mind through countless life-and-death tests, he now has all the strength to break through the bottleneck of the fusion stage.

Just take a short break and then you can start your bottleneck sprint.

With the many magical powers he possesses, even if he only advances to the initial stage of fusion, he should be able to compete with the strong ones in the late stage of fusion, and he can almost move between the human and demon races with ease.

Therefore, the next task he needed to complete was to find a hidden place around Tianyuan City, and after preparing for a period of time, he would start to break through the bottleneck.

During this period, all other matters must be put on hold and ignored.

However, due to the consumption over the past hundred years, he had to purchase a large amount of auxiliary materials in Tianyuan City.

Although he was able to obtain some of what he needed from the alien races over the years, the actual amount of replenishment was not sufficient because he only went to the marginal areas of the alien races.

If he had not prepared sufficient supplies before leaving Thunder Continent, some of his understanding and research work would have been forced to be suspended halfway.

Given the scale of Tianyuan City, I believe it should be able to meet his needs.

With these materials, he can refine some magical weapons and pills to help him break through the bottleneck.

Lin Mo is very familiar with the market town of Tianyuan City.

Therefore, half an hour later, he landed on the street in the building complex that was divided into two halves by a huge light curtain.

On the other side of the light curtain is the trading place of the demon clan stationed in Tianyuan City.

A hall located in the center of the light curtain has become the only platform for humans and demons to communicate and exchange precious items.

Lin Mo's eyes swept across the magnificent palace in the distance, and his heart couldn't help but move slightly. The vague figure of the demon woman flashed through his mind.

In the past, he had conducted many transactions with this unidentified demon woman in this hall in exchange for the rare elixir seeds in the hands of the demons.

If he had not used this method, it would have taken him a lot more effort to collect the information on his own.

However, this woman seemed to have a strong background. She was able to learn in advance that the alien race was about to invade Tianyuan City on a large scale, and thus evacuated early.

Lin Mo withdrew his gaze, looked around, and then calmly walked into a large material shop nearby.

"This shop specializes in all kinds of refining tools and materials needed for elixirs. We have a wide variety of products and everything you need. If you have any needs, please feel free to tell me."

There were five or six assistants busy in the shop. One of them, a handsome young man, immediately walked over here with a smile on his face.

"You leave first. I will personally receive this distinguished guest."

Before Lin Mo opened his mouth, the shopkeeper who was originally sitting on the bamboo chair suddenly noticed that something in his hand flashed several times. He was immediately shocked and jumped up from the chair and shouted loudly.

Then, the shopkeeper who looked like an old man in the Jindan stage ran to Lin Mo at an extremely fast speed and said respectfully:

"I didn't expect you to come. I was unable to go out to greet you. I hope you will forgive me."

Lin Mo was slightly surprised when he heard this.

Since entering the town, he has not used his secret technique to conceal his own cultivation level again, but there is no way a Jindan stage being could directly see through his strength.

However, when he caught a glimpse of a magical instrument similar to a magic disk in the old man's hand, Lin Mo suddenly realized and nodded slightly:
"So you have a magical instrument called the Spiritual Pressure Plate. No wonder you can detect my cultivation level. Well, there is no need to say anything more. I need a lot of materials, and I hope you can prepare them for me."

Lin Mo waved his hand casually, and a white jade slip appeared in his hand, which he threw to the old man.

The old man carefully took the jade slip and agreed repeatedly. However, when his spiritual consciousness probed into the jade slip, an expression of surprise and shock appeared on his face.

"The amount of materials you need is huge. Although our shop can provide most of them, we still need to borrow some from other shops. Please wait for a moment."

"Okay, I'll give you a quarter of an hour."

Lin Mo ordered calmly.

The old man was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly invited Lin Mo to sit on a chair beside him, and asked a waiter to serve spiritual tea. At the same time, he ordered the rest of the people to quickly go to the warehouse to retrieve the required materials.

He hurried out of the store and went to a familiar shop nearby to collect the remaining materials for Lin Mo.

Seeing their boss's behavior, the guys guessed that this "senior" Lin Mo must be a person of prominent status, so they all looked at him with awe.

Lin Mo leisurely tasted the spiritual tea in his hand, quietly closed his eyes and said nothing more.

Just a moment later, the old man returned with an excited look on his face, and a storage bracelet appeared in his hand.

At this time, other shop assistants also brought in a large pile of boxes, bottles and other items of various sizes.

For Lin Mo now, these materials may only be ordinary auxiliary materials, but for this shop, they are still extremely precious resources. Lin Mo's consciousness scanned the storage bracelet and these boxes and bottles several times, and then asked about the price lightly.

The old man, with a big smile on his face, reported a figure that was considered astronomical for an ordinary cultivator.

However, Lin Mo's expression remained calm. With a light flick of his hand, a small leather bag flew towards the old man.

The old man took the leather bag steadily, and with a check of his spiritual sense, he found that the treasures inside even exceeded the amount he asked for. He was immediately delighted and kept thanking the old man.

Lin Mo calmly put all the items into his pocket and then left.

With the escape light following him, Lin Mo left the market town without hesitation and flew straight in the opposite direction of Tianyuan City.

A few hours later, he had left Tianyuan City safely, turning into a bright green rainbow and galloping towards the vast and endless mountains in the distance.

After half a month, Lin Mo successfully walked out of the jurisdiction of Tianyuan City. However, he did not stop, but continued to fly forward.

Two months later, Qinghong finally landed steadily on a lush mountain.

The escaping light gradually dissipated, and Lin Mo's figure appeared. He stood on a huge rock on the top of the mountain. After looking around, he closed his eyes and released a powerful spiritual sense to explore.

After a moment, he nodded with satisfaction. This place has a very good spiritual vein. Although it is not large in scale, the spiritual energy is still abundant within a radius of hundreds of miles, which meets his needs.

However, such a spiritual vein was obviously not ownerless. Just now, through a spiritual sense scan, he found that there were more than ten monks' caves of various sizes around.

Among these caves, the largest number of people live together in a gathering of more than a dozen people, while the smallest number occupies a mountain alone.

However, those with the highest cultivation levels were only two practitioners in the Nascent Soul stage, and most of the others were in the Core Formation stage or the Foundation Establishment stage.

Lin Mo deeply understood this, because practitioners with higher levels of cultivation usually would not choose to build caves in such remote areas.

Strong men at the Spirit Transformation Stage and above often choose to monopolize vast areas of tens of thousands of miles.

Although the spiritual energy here is quite rich, it cannot accommodate higher-level practitioners.

However, Lin Mo had no plans to practice here for a long time, so he didn't care about these situations.

He immediately cast a spell, golden light flashed on his body, and his lips moved slightly, but no sound came out, as if he was performing some kind of telepathic communication.

In the belly of another mountain about a hundred miles away from where Lin Mo was, an old man with silver hair and wearing a black robe was facing a secret room surrounded by layers of restrictions. He was making hand gestures and looked extremely nervous.

Inside the secret room, blue flames danced around the cauldron, emitting a rich medicinal aroma.

Suddenly, an incredibly powerful spiritual force, ignoring the numerous restrictions outside the secret room, entered the secret room like a demon descending.

The old man didn't even have time to put up any resistance before he was knocked to the ground by the enormous pressure brought by this spiritual consciousness. His body was as stiff as wood and he couldn't even move a finger.

"what!"

The old man couldn't help but scream, and was terrified.

However, before he could react, a cold male voice suddenly echoed above the secret room:
"I have something important to do and need to use this place. I don't want to be disturbed. Anyone who receives my message must evacuate this place as soon as possible. If anyone still stays here within a day, the consequences will be at their own risk."

As soon as the words fell, the powerful spiritual power quickly disappeared without a trace.

The old man felt his body relax and immediately regained the ability to move freely.

When he stood up again trembling, his eyes were filled with fear and anxiety. The old man pondered for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth, and rushed out of the secret room in an instant, ignoring the tripod furnace that he had cherished so much.

An hour later, a dazzling white light rose from the bottom of the mountain, spun for a moment, and then rushed towards the horizon.

Similar scenes were happening simultaneously in every corner within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Rays of light flew out from various places, fleeing from this spiritual vein in panic.

After most of the day, no human practitioners could be seen in this mountain range anymore. Only empty and silent caves were left.

Lin Mo used his powerful spiritual power to search the area within hundreds of miles around him. After confirming that there was no immortal cultivator hiding there, he immediately activated the Rainbow Escape Technique and rushed towards the mountainside.

After a moment, the green light disappeared, and Lin Mo stayed steadily in front of a green-gray cliff.

He closed his eyes slightly, with a faint blue light flashing in his eyes. He examined the stone wall in front of him for a while, then gently turned the storage bracelet on his wrist.

Several objects flashing green light flew out instantly, flashed in the air, and then turned into several tall and mighty ape puppets.

Without Lin Mo's further instructions, these puppets automatically raised their arms, and their ten fingers simultaneously emitted green light about a foot long, and they attacked the stone wall one after another.

Under the illumination of the green light, the originally rock-solid stone wall was easily cut open like tofu. In a flash, a huge door ten feet high suddenly appeared.

Several puppets flashed and rushed into the gate first.

At this moment, Lin Mo did not continue to pay attention to the actions of these puppets, but took out an item from his sleeve, and a ball of golden light shot out from it.

After spinning a few times in the air, a small animal only a foot long appeared on the ground.

This little animal is covered with golden fur and at first glance, it looks quite similar to a young leopard.

It is the leopard-scaled beast that once took the inner elixir of a king-level dark beast in the Guanghan Realm!
Under Lin Mo's command, the golden light on the leopard-scaled beast's body flickered, and its body expanded rapidly, becoming several orders of magnitude larger in the blink of an eye.

A mouth full of sharp fangs was exposed, and its body was covered with strange black patterns. A pair of several-inch-long silver horns grew out of nowhere on its head.

At this moment, the leopard-scaled beast exudes a terrifying aura that makes people tremble with fear.

"I order you to patrol this area. Do not allow any human to approach this mountain."

Lin Mo ordered in a serious tone.

The leopard-scaled beast roared, and thick black mist suddenly emanated from its limbs. Then it flashed into the ground and disappeared without a trace.

Lin Mo sat quietly, waiting for the cave to open completely. The change in the leopard scale beast's current form did surprise him.

However, all of this originated from the king-level dark beast inner core that it swallowed in the Guanghan Realm.

After the leopard-scaled beast swallowed the inner elixir, it fell into a dormant state for more than ten years and only woke up recently.

When it opened its eyes again, its strength had improved by leaps and bounds, and it easily broke through to the Void Refinement Realm. Its appearance also changed drastically.
