Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

During this stage, Lin Mo also needs to find and collect a variety of auxiliary materials, the main raw material being the poisonous grass, in order to refine several kinds of fusion-level pills.

Although the value of the other materials is insignificant compared to the poisonous grass, they are all extremely rare items in the spiritual world.

Therefore, it does take considerable effort to gather all the materials needed for alchemy.

In addition, in order to deal with the great heavenly calamity that occurs every three thousand years, he also needs to refine the Taiyi Qingshan Mountain obtained in the Guanghan Realm into one of the extreme mountains.

Although its power cannot be compared with the real Yuanhe Five Pole Mountain, it still has a certain effectiveness in resisting heavenly calamity when combined with the Yuanci Pole Mountain.

At the same time, the corresponding usage of the obtained Xu Ling Dan also needs to be found.

Only in this way can he take it with peace of mind and understand when is the best time to take it.

In addition, due to the great enhancement of his spiritual consciousness after practicing the soul-refining technique and advancing to the fusion realm, although he could not immediately control tens of thousands of gold-eating insects,
But releasing more than a thousand gold-eating insects at one time is enough to sustain for a period of time.

Such a large number of mature gold-eating beetles are undoubtedly a terrifying and powerful weapon. Even ordinary combined beings would feel deeply afraid of it.

Based on the above reasons, he decided to use the inner elixir of the flying rainbow fish in his hand to prepare the legendary "Seven-Colored Pill".

With the synergistic effect of the ancient elixir and the leaves of the golden thunder bamboo, it may be possible to encourage the original mature gold-eating beetle to evolve or mutate again.

Recalling the past, he once used a peculiar stone material to cause a small number of gold-eating insects to mutate.

However, he deeply regretted that this mutation did not show any eye-catching special effects other than causing these gold-eating insects to become abnormally heavy.

As for the Gold-Eating Bug King mentioned by Qing Yuanzi, which even True Immortals would retreat away from, it was too far-fetched for him. Even if he wanted to cultivate it, he didn't know where to start, so he could only put it aside for the time being.

However, whether it is to control more gold-eating bugs or to prepare in advance for future bottleneck breakthroughs, practicing the second level of the soul-refining technique is essential.

According to the current situation, he has already met the requirements in terms of the strength of his spiritual power, but he is still lacking in physical strength. He must wait until the Brahma True Demon Art reaches its peak in the late stage of fusion before he may be able to barely meet the requirements.

Before that, he could try to use some external means to improve his physical fitness.

For example, Hong Luotian Wine has the magical effect of gradually improving physical fitness, and can be prepared and drunk first.

Of course, those talismans and mysterious star maps from the fairy world also require time to be studied in depth. Lin Mo silently calculated in his heart, and the whole person fell into deep thought...

In the following year, Lin Mo stayed in the cave of Xu Ri Peak, devoting himself to consolidating his magical powers and state of mind.

However, the outside world was thrown into chaos by the news that he had successfully advanced to the fusion realm.

Many forces in the surrounding areas are ready to take advantage of the opportunity to gain benefits.

Fortunately, these forces all know that a cultivator who has just broken through the bottleneck must practice in seclusion for the first year.
Therefore, they acted very wisely during this period and did not send anyone to disturb Lin Mo's practice.

However, when the one-year deadline was up, someone finally couldn't hold back their inner impulse and decided to take action.

On this day, a tall, thin old man stepped onto the edge of the sea of ​​fog.

He was wearing a green robe with a jade-green ruyi hanging around his waist. He stood firmly on a nearby mountain top, staring into the depths of the misty sea with a particularly cold expression on his face.

Suddenly, the old man turned his gaze to the sky behind him, and saw a dazzlingly bright light flashing at the end of the distant sky, followed by an astonishing silver rainbow that was more than ten feet long appearing.

The sound of breaking through the air was deafening, and the speed of the silver rainbow was jaw-dropping. In just a few blinks of an eye, it was already close in front of people, and was about to rush into the sea of ​​fog.

However, at this moment, a soft "eh" sound was heard in the air. Although the volume was not loud, it was clearly heard by the old man.

Hearing this exclamation, the old man's face changed.

Then, the silver rainbow made a magnificent spin in the air and suddenly rushed towards the hill where the old man was.

With a flash of silver light, a slender figure appeared more than ten feet in front of the old man.

This person turned out to be a young woman with a fair and beautiful face, wearing a blue palace dress.

There was no unusual aura emanating from her, and she had a faint smile on her face, just like a beautiful girl that can be found everywhere in the secular world.

"Fairy Xiaofeng! I really didn't expect that you, as an important figure in the Gu family, would come here in person."

When the old man in green robe saw the woman, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes and he spoke slowly.

"So you are Elder Qi from Tianyuan City. Are you here for the senior from Xuri Peak?"

The woman's eyes moved around, she bowed slightly and asked politely.

"Haha, Tianyuan City is only a few months away from here. Everything that happened here has naturally spread throughout the city."

"The other members of the Elders' Council are either in seclusion or out on business, so I, an old man, have to go here in person. I guess Patriarch Gu came here with the same purpose as me, right?"

The old man in green robe raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and answered in a very respectful tone.

"Elder Qi has a keen eye! In fact, as early as a year ago, one of our Gu family's elders had already had contact with the seniors from Rising Sun Peak."

"However, who could have expected that in less than a year, that senior would actually break through to the Fusion Stage. Therefore, I naturally have to come here to visit him in person."

The woman explained with a smile.

"As far as I know, in a few years it will be your family's True Spirit Ceremony that takes place once every three thousand years. No wonder you are so eager to improve the Gu family's strength."

“But for the Taoist friend from Rising Sun Peak, if he really reaches the state of fusion, I am afraid I cannot give him up easily.”

"After all, we lost two elders the last time the aliens attacked Tianyuan City. With the addition of the other two elders, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the next great heavenly tribulation. We urgently need new Taoist friends in the Fusion Stage to join us."

The old man in green robe shook his head, indicating that he would not compromise easily.

"I see. However, this matter concerns the honor of our Gu family in the True Spirit Ceremony, so I cannot give up easily." The woman frowned and sighed helplessly.

"Haha, it's not easy to convince a cultivator in the Fusion Stage to join a certain faction. Perhaps our trip will end in failure. Let's wait until we meet that fellow Taoist before making any plans."

The old man smiled lightly and said nonchalantly, "Indeed. In that case, I and Elder Qi will go to pay a visit to that senior together." The woman nodded slightly to show her agreement.

The old man in green robe had no objection to this.

The two of them transformed into a beam of light and in an instant they were already in the air at the edge of the sea of ​​fog.

The old man in green robe took a deep breath, and suddenly a powerful and loud voice came out of his mouth:
"Qi Xubing of Tianyuan City and Fairy Xiaofeng of Gu Family have come to pay us a special visit!"

The old man's words turned into a mysterious spiritual power, which slowly drifted away above the sea of ​​fog, and echoed for a long time above the sea of ​​fog within a radius of hundreds of miles.

At this moment, Lin Mo, who was resting with his eyes closed in the cave, suddenly opened his eyes, and his face showed a solemn look.

However, he immediately stretched out his right hand and grasped the air, and a snow-white magic disk quietly emerged in his hand.

He quickly pointed his finger at the magic plate and opened his lips slightly. At the same time, Lin Mo's calm voice came from the edge of the fog sea where the two old men in green robes were:
"So you two Daoists have come to my humble abode. I am in retreat for cultivation and cannot greet you right away. I kindly ask you to move to my cave to rest for a while. I will come out to greet you in person later."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sea of ​​fog below suddenly churned, and a passage several meters wide suddenly appeared.

After the green-robed old man and Fairy Xiaofeng exchanged a glance, they stepped in one after the other without hesitation.

After just a moment, they reached the top of the mountain and lowered their light in front of the cave entrance on the mountainside.

The door of Lin Mo's cave had already been opened, and the old man and the young woman walked in. After a while, they sat down in a simple hall.

Then, an expressionless woman in white came with a tea tray and served them two cups of fragrant spiritual tea, then stood quietly by.

The old man in green robe and the young woman didn't take it seriously at first, but when their spiritual consciousness casually swept over the woman in white, they were both shocked.

"Senior Qi, am I seeing things? This woman seems to be a puppet."

The young woman asked in a low voice with a hint of doubt.

"Indeed, it is indeed a puppet, and judging from its aura, it should be at the Refining Void level. However, what is quite strange is that it does not seem to be controlled by anyone, but moves on its own."

The old man in green robe had sharp eyes and discovered details that the young woman had not noticed. When the young woman heard this, her inner shock was imaginable.

However, just as she was about to take another closer look at the woman in white, light footsteps were heard outside the hall, and a young man in his twenties walked in with steady steps.

The young woman's eyes quickly turned to the young man, then she immediately stood up and bowed slightly to him.

"Senior has successfully advanced to the fusion stage. On behalf of the Gu family, I congratulate you on your accomplishments."

The old man in green robe on the other side also stood up with a smile on his face, clasped his fists and said:

"My name is Qi Xubing, and I am currently serving as an elder in Tianyuan City. I am honored to meet you, fellow Taoist."

"You two Daoists are too polite! I have just advanced to the fusion stage and need to consolidate my cultivation, so I was unable to go out to greet you in person. I hope you will forgive me."

Lin Mo smiled slightly and returned the greeting.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Lin is currently consolidating his cultivation. How could I not know that?"

The old man stroked his beard and responded with a smile. Then, the three of them exchanged a few more pleasantries and sat down in order of status.

"Forgive me for being so rude, but when I learned that you had advanced to the fusion stage, my initial reaction was almost one of disbelief."

"Not long ago, Elder Gu Yun from our family just returned and told us clearly that your cultivation is still at the Void Refining Stage. However, in just one short year, your cultivation level has reached such an astonishing level."

The young woman from the Gu family narrated the story with much emotion.

"Haha, actually, at that moment, Lin had already started to break through the bottleneck. However, both Daoists knew that the chance of advancing to the fusion stage was extremely slim. It was like sailing against the current, and Lin had never expected that he would be able to break through successfully this time. I did not intentionally hide anything from Daoist Fellow Gu Yun."

A trace of guilt appeared on Lin Mo's face.

"How dare the junior have any complaints about this. Senior, breaking through the bottleneck of fusion is a matter of life and death, so it is natural for you to be cautious." The young woman replied with a smile.

“When I broke through the bottleneck of fusion, I also chose an extremely remote place. My idea is quite similar to that of Fellow Daoist Lin.” The old man in green robe also interjected with a smile.

After hearing this, Lin Mo naturally responded with a smile.

Afterwards, the three of them stopped talking about this topic and started chatting about other topics casually.

Lin Mo's rich experience of traveling alone between the two continents in his early years and his extensive knowledge naturally need no elaboration.

As for the old man and the young woman, one is the head of the True Spirit Family, and the other is a cultivator who has been in the advanced fusion stage for many years. Naturally, their knowledge is extraordinary.

After a long conversation, the three of them actually got along very well and the distance between them seemed to have been shortened a lot in an instant.

Both the old man and the young woman felt suddenly enlightened.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, from what you just said, it seems that you have a very thorough understanding of the affairs of alien races. Many of the contents are not even recorded in the human classics, and there are also various events involving other continents. Could it be that you have traveled to other continents?"

The old man finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked.

"That's true. Fellow Daoist Qi has a unique vision! In fact, I just returned from the wilderness recently, and as for the foreign continent, I also traveled there in a daze." Lin Mo had no intention of hiding anything and answered honestly.

However, the old man in green robe and the young woman couldn't help but gasp when they heard this.

Fairy Xiaofeng was silent for a moment, then said hesitantly:

"No wonder I have never heard of your name before, considering your cultivation and magical powers. It turns out that you have been cultivating outside and have only recently returned to our clan. But according to Elder Yun, you mentioned the Ye Family and the Long Family, which are as famous as our True Spirit Family. This reminds me of something, and I wonder if I should report it to you."

"Oh? What exactly is it? Please speak frankly!" Lin Mo said calmly.

"Since the senior has ordered me to do so, I will speak out boldly. Forgive me for my offence. After Elder Gu Yun told me about your affairs, I became very interested in it and used some manpower and material resources to conduct relevant investigations." (End of this chapter)
