Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

The monks nearby had heard that these four people had gone deep into the wilderness several years ago, encountered setbacks, and suffered damage to their vitality.

But such incidents are common in Tianyuan City. After lamenting the dangers of the wild world, people no longer pay much attention to them.

However, on this day, the four people who were practicing in the attic heard a cold voice at the same time:

"Four Taoist friends, may I visit you?"

These words actually penetrated through the numerous restrictions set up by the four people on the periphery and reached their ears with incredible clarity.

The four of them were horrified and immediately thought of someone. Their faces changed drastically and they all stood up and walked quickly towards the attic.

The man who was in the lead and looked like a Confucian scholar had his broken arm healed. As soon as he stepped out of the first floor, he immediately flashed and opened the attic door.

Standing outside the door was a young man in blue with a cold expression. It was Lin Mo.

"I, the junior, would like to pay my respects to Senior Lin. I did not expect you to visit me by chance. I beg you to forgive me for my intrusion!"

The elegant scholar's face was full of joy. He then eagerly bowed deeply to Lin Mo and invited him into the hall.

Lin Mo did not refuse. He nodded slightly and walked into the living room.

At this time, the warrior in red armor and two other women also appeared on the first floor of the hall. When they saw that it was Lin Mo, they also saluted respectfully.

"Everyone, please stop being so formal. You and I are old friends, so there's no need for such a grand ceremony!"

Lin Mo raised his hand and waved to express his meaning, then sat in the main seat calmly.

Although the four Confucian scholars thanked him repeatedly, they still maintained awe and stood aside in a proper manner.

Lin Mo glanced at the four cultivators at the scene and keenly realized that the true energy they consumed during their journey in the wilderness had not been fully recovered.

So he asked calmly:

"My fellow Taoists, your current situation seems to indicate that the loss of vitality you suffered during your journey in the wilderness has not yet been fully recovered."

"Thanks to the senior's insight, he saw through our current situation at a glance. Indeed, due to our low level of cultivation at that time and the damage to our true essence, we have only barely recovered about half of our strength so far."

The Confucian scholar answered frankly.

After thinking for a while, Lin Mo waved his right palm, and four soft-colored jade bottles appeared in his hand in an instant. He said in a calm tone:
"Given your current condition, I have a few bottles of elixirs that are suitable for you. You only need to refine the medicinal properties and calm your mind and regulate your breathing for about a month, and your vitality will be restored to its peak state."

Looking at the precious pills handed over by Lin Mo, the scholar and the other three were very surprised and expressed their sincere gratitude to Lin Mo again.

They stepped forward one by one, carefully took the jade bottle handed to them by Lin Mo, and opened the stopper. Suddenly, a rich fragrance filled the entire hall, making people feel relaxed and refreshed.

These four people were well aware of this and knew that the herbs in the bottle undoubtedly had extraordinary efficacy, and its actual effect might even exceed what Lin Mo had said before.

So the scholar said with a cold and insightful look: "Excuse me, Senior, why have you condescended to come here this time? Is there anything you need our assistance with?"

Lin Mo hesitated for a moment and replied:
"Indeed, I need your help with something. Although it seems simple, it will take a lot of time and must be completed by personnel stationed in Tianyuan City for a long time."

"I wonder if you are willing to take on this responsibility? Of course, I will not let your efforts go in vain and will certainly give you generous rewards."

After hearing this, the scholar felt relieved and agreed without hesitation:
"Please rest assured, senior. The four of us plan to stay in Tianyuan City for the next hundred years. No matter what mission you are on."

“No matter how difficult and complex the task is, as long as it is within our capabilities, we will never back down.”

Hearing the Confucian scholar's promise, Lin Mo smiled slightly and expressed his satisfaction:

"Since you have expressed your opinion, I will no longer be hypocritical. I have mentioned a female cultivator named Nangong Wan before. I hope you can find out her whereabouts in Tianyuan City."

"She is a monk who has just ascended to heaven, and she may have changed her name. But I will leave you a jade slip containing her portrait so that you can identify her."

"If you cannot find her trace in Tianyuan City, then in the next hundred years or so, please continue to pay attention to this woman's movements."

"If you can really find this person, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

The scholar responded respectfully:

"Please rest assured, senior. We still have some friends in Tianyuan City. As long as this fairy really appears in Tianyuan City, we will do our best to help you find her."

Lin Mo nodded and continued:

"Besides that, there is another thing I need your help with. I am preparing to refine a batch of pills, but the raw materials required are numerous and complex, many of which are unusual. Even in Tianyuan City, it is difficult to collect them all in a short period of time."

"And I have to go out on an important mission soon, so I can only entrust you fellow Taoists to purchase some medicinal materials on my behalf."

"Here is a sum of spiritual stones, which I believe is enough to cover the cost of purchasing spiritual medicine. In addition, these treasures were obtained by me by chance in the past, and I will also give them to you fellow Taoists as a reward."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo flicked his right hand, and colorful lights suddenly flashed on the table. Four jade boxes of different sizes and a black leather bag appeared.

Hearing this, the four Confucian scholars present exchanged glances, their surprise evident in their expressions.

After some quiet discussion, they finally nodded respectfully in agreement.

Mr. Confucian first apologized to Lin Mo, then carefully took the leather bag and tried to use his spiritual sense to detect the items inside.

When he saw the situation inside the bag, his face changed drastically and he couldn't help but scream out in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

Seeing this situation, the three sturdy men in red armor couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. They looked at Lin Mo with some suspicion and confusion.

However, Lin Mo remained calm, as if he was unaware of it.

The scholar realized that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly explained:
"Respected senior, you are so generous that you actually took out so many high-quality spiritual stones."

"From the types of elixirs you described, they seem to be truly extraordinary. Given your deep trust in us, we will certainly serve you wholeheartedly."

After saying this, the scholar carefully put away the leather bag and thought for a moment. Then he chose one of the four jade boxes on the table and solemnly opened the lid.

In an instant, a soft and white light was released from it, and a white jade folding fan with a warm texture appeared in the box.

Its surface was covered with dense spiritual light and covered with complicated and intricate runes. The scholar took out the jade fan with respect and waved it gently. Fan-shaped images quietly emerged in front of him, accompanied by a strong spiritual pressure.

Seeing this scene, Lin Mo couldn't help but smile and said:

"This treasure, called 'Mountain and River Fan', contains two powerful magical skills of wind and land. It only takes a light wave to unleash the power of wind and land."

"It can produce an attack with a force comparable to ten thousand pounds from a distance of more than a hundred feet, injuring the enemy silently. This is undoubtedly a very outstanding magic weapon."

When the scholar heard this, he was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. The other three followed suit, each choosing a jade box and opening them one by one with great joy.

It turned out that the box contained a pair of silver bracelets, a colorful handkerchief and a freezing black ice flying knife.

For Lin Mo, these treasures may not be worth mentioning, but for Mr. Confucian and other practitioners in the God Transformation Stage.

They were the treasures they had always dreamed of, so they were equally excited and kept expressing their gratitude.

There is no doubt that the four people accepted the treasures given by Lin Mo, which means that they have formally agreed to the request made by Lin Mo.

As for whether they would change their minds later and escape with the spirit stones, Lin Mo was not worried at all.

Because he had already learned about the backgrounds of these four people in the city.

Although they are not well-known in the city, they are not just independent cultivators. No matter which family or sect they belong to, their traces can be easily found.

Under such circumstances, unless these four people are ignorant, they will never do such a stupid thing. Otherwise, they will bring unimaginable disasters to their families.

More importantly, before leaving the attic, in order to ensure that everything was safe, Lin Mo told the four people in a nonchalant tone that he had just entered the fusion period.

He also briefly demonstrated some techniques for controlling the vital energy of heaven and earth that only masters in the fusion stage can skillfully use.

As a result, the Confucian scholar and the other four were so shocked that they had no time to think about anything else.

After finishing the transaction with the four Confucian scholars, Lin Mo turned into a dazzling beam of light and rushed straight towards the huge stone tower where the Tianyuan Guards once lived.

Not long after, when Lin Mo appeared near one of the stone towers, looking at the various guards coming in and out of the entrance one after another, his face couldn't help but reveal a trance as if he was in another world.

This stone tower was the one where he lived during his time as a Qingming Guardian.

Time flies. Only a few hundred years have passed, and everything here seems to still remain the same as it was back then.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Mo buried the emotion deep in his heart, then controlled the escape light and followed the others into the stone tower.

At the entrance of the stone tower, there are more than ten Black Iron Guards and two Qingming Guards guarding it.

When they discovered that a cultivator who was obviously not from the Tianyuan Guard had come here, they immediately cast a suspicious look at him.

However, Lin Mo's expression remained calm the entire time until he gradually approached these guards, then he unreservedly released the powerful aura of a strong man in the fusion stage.

Even though he only released a tiny bit of power, in front of the gap between their realms, the two unsuspecting Qingming guards' faces suddenly changed drastically, and they took several steps back.

In comparison, the situation of the Black Iron Guards was even worse, and they all stepped back several steps.

One of the Qingming Guards, a burly man, couldn't help but gasp when he heard this and exclaimed, "He's actually a master in the Fusion Stage!"

The other old man from Qingming Guard, who had a sparse beard but looked quite wise, looked at Lin Mo carefully. His eyes suddenly widened and his words were filled with shock:

"Ah, it's Fellow Daoist Lin!"

Lin Mo was also quite surprised to hear this, so he turned around and looked at the old man carefully, as if searching for memories about him in his mind.

"You must be Daoist Yue!"

After a little thought, Lin Mo confirmed the other party's identity.

The old man heard this and looked horrified and confused, as if he had encountered a ghost. He kept muttering to himself:

“Senior Lin… no, Fellow Daoist Lin…”

The old man with short beard seemed to be still immersed in great shock at this moment. He wanted to say something but stopped himself and couldn't finish his words.

"Is the Qingming Guard named Xu Xianzi in the tower now?"

Lin Mo asked calmly.

"Ah, it is indeed Fairy Xu! She has led the team out to carry out a mission a few days ago and is expected to return in a few days."

Although the Qingming Guards man was puzzled by the old man's unusual behavior, he still answered politely and respectfully. Lin Mo said:

"In that case, we will not bother you any more. When Fairy Xu returns, please tell her that I am waiting for her at the Juxian Pavilion in the city and that she must come to see me."

"As for my identity and background, I'm sure that Fellow Daoist Yue should be very familiar with it, so there's no need to waste any more words on it."

Afterwards, he bowed slightly to the short-bearded old man, and his figure turned into a dazzling green light and instantly disappeared into the sky.

The burly man naturally led a group of Black Iron Guards and performed a solemn salute ceremony.

Seeing that the green light had disappeared, the sturdy man turned his head and looked at the old man who was still a little dazed, with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face:
"Brother Yue, who exactly is this Senior Lin? Why are you so out of control?"

The short-bearded old man calmed down and said in a complicated tone:
"Since he is here to look for Xu Xianzi, it can be confirmed without a doubt that he is the real person."

"Brother Ding, please don't be surprised. About three hundred years ago, Senior Lin was just an ordinary member of the Qingming Guard who served with us."

"I remember the last time I saw this 'Senior Lin', his cultivation was only at the middle stage of the Spiritualization Stage."

"Brother Ding has just joined Tianyuan City within the past two hundred years, so I was able to identify him. This 'Senior Lin' and I were both members of the Qingming Guard. Although we don't have a deep friendship, I have received his help in the past."

"In the past, this 'Senior Lin' was also very famous among us Qingming Guards. He was able to kill aliens at the level of Lianxu Stage with the power of the Spiritualization Stage." (End of this chapter)
