Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

Chapter 711

"That's true. Lin originally owed someone a favor, so he agreed to run errands this time."

"However, according to Daoist Fellow Qianyu, the descendants of Fairy Bingpo are not limited to the Xu family. Therefore, Daoists are required to provide more evidence so that Lin can confirm the identity of the Xu family."

Lin Mo answered honestly.

"Confirm? How does Senior Lin plan to confirm it? Our Xu family has always followed the inheritance of our ancestors. This is a well-known fact among the surrounding families."

The old man named Xu Huo coughed lightly and said with some embarrassment.

"This shouldn't be difficult. For example, the magical skills that Fairy Bingpo practiced, or the famous magical treasures she left behind, can all be used as evidence to prove the Xu family's identity."

Lin Mo's eyes flickered and he spoke in a calm tone.

"The treasure you are talking about, before our ancestor mysteriously disappeared, he took all his personal collection with him and left nothing behind for us, his descendants."

"As for the so-called skills, although the Xu family has passed down some unique secrets that were enjoyed by many human warriors, due to the extremely harsh training conditions, only a few people are lucky enough to be able to practice them."

"Fortunately, my uncle Xu Yan is one of them. Dear senior, please allow me to ask you to watch his performance."

After thinking for a moment, Xu Jiao turned to an elderly man next to him and said respectfully.

"Since you are interested in watching, I will show you my ugliness."

The older man hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded slightly and agreed.

Then he raised his arm, and a shriveled palm stretched out from the wide cuffs. Then he slightly spread his five fingers and gently flipped it upwards.

At this moment, a ball of dazzling blue flame appeared in the palm of his hand, flashing with mysterious light, and gradually transformed into a crystal clear blue lotus.

This ice lotus is so exquisite that it seems to be naturally created.

"Dark blue ice flame!" Lin Mo's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.

"Your Excellency is truly a man of insight. This kind of cold flame is a magical power that our ancestors were famous for. When cultivated to the highest level, it is enough to freeze a thousand miles and freeze the void."

"However, I have not yet reached this level."

A smile appeared on Xu Yan's thin face. The blue ice lotus in his hand began to spin and suddenly turned into a blue cloud, sweeping towards the void in front.

When the blue clouds passed by, the space suddenly flashed with blue light and became blurred and distorted in an instant.

At the same time, another elder from the Xu family tacitly threw the teacup in his hand into the air, then flashed away and merged into the distorted void.

What happened next was jaw-dropping.

The teacup suddenly flashed blue light, turned into an ice sculpture, and remained motionless in the void.

Lin Mo's pupils suddenly contracted, his expression remained calm, but a hint of surprise appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The fact that this kind of blue ice flame could possess such powerful magical powers after being cultivated to the later stage was really beyond his expectations.

However, if you think about it carefully, this is reasonable.

The blue ice flame he obtained from the Xu Tian Ding that year was not obtained through self-cultivation, but was directly absorbed and refined from objects. Its power could never be increased on its own.

The cold flame of Xu Yan is a magical power he obtained through his own hard practice. With the subsequent mantras and exercises, his power can naturally be gradually enhanced.

Both methods have their pros and cons.

Directly absorbing the ready-made cold flame can save a lot of practice time and quickly master the supernatural power.

However, if one wishes to further enhance the power of this magical power, one must rely on external forces or fuse other extremely cold flames.

Although it takes a long time to produce the cold flame through self-cultivation like the old man and the Ice Soul Fairy, as long as you follow the correct mantras, you will eventually be able to cultivate the cold flame to the great stage.

The blue ice flame he absorbed was a product of his time in the human world.

The blue ice flame left behind by the Ice Soul Fairy at that time was, at best, a magical power of the Spirit Transformation Stage, and naturally could not be compared with the old man in the Void Refinement Stage today.

Lin Mo's thoughts raced through his mind, and he soon understood the mystery. A flash of surprise flashed across his lips.

However, the blue in the void in front of the old man only lasted for a few breaths before shattering and dissipating like glass.

The teacup, which was originally stationary in the void, immediately began to fall downwards.

Another old man named Xu Huo was already prepared. With a wave of his hand, he immediately took the teacup covered with blue ice back into his hand.

At this moment, a blazing red light burst out from Xu Jiao's hands, instantly melting the layer of blue ice.

Then, the teacup returned to its original state and appeared intact in front of everyone.

The man in white asked Lin Mo with a smile on his face:

"Respected senior, are you satisfied with this? Can the magical power displayed by Uncle Yan prove that our Xu family is indeed the direct descendant of our ancestor?"

Lin Mo smiled slightly, nodded gently, and replied:
"Without a doubt, this is the Qianlan Ice Flame. And Fellow Daoist Xu Yan has already reached the pinnacle of his ability in this magical power."

"It is truly amazing to be able to control the power of extreme cold so exquisitely."

Hearing this, Xu Jiao suddenly became energetic and couldn't wait to ask:
"So, Senior, what you mean is..."

Lin Mo laughed softly, and suddenly stretched out his hand and waved his sleeves across the table next to him.

In an instant, a green light flashed by, and two objects immediately appeared on the table.

One of them was a light blue jade slip, and the other was a box as white as jade.

Both items were tightly sealed with a golden talisman, which fully proved that Lin Mo had never opened or checked them.

The man in white took a quick look and his expression became serious, but he did not pick up the two items immediately. Instead, he asked carefully again:

"Excuse me, senior, which master entrusted you to pass these things to us?"

Lin Mo frowned and explained slowly:
"It's not that I concealed it on purpose. It's just that if I tell you the identity of that senior, I'm afraid you fellow Taoists may not know it."

"I can only tell you that this senior is not from either our human race or the demon race. His strength and magical powers are so powerful that even I can't match him."

"He's actually a foreigner!"

"Even the seniors feel inferior to me, could it be..."

Several people from the Xu family were immediately surprised and started talking about it.

Obviously, this answer far exceeded their expectations.

Xu Qianyu and the two old men looked at each other, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

However, Lin Mo was not surprised by their reactions and seemed very calm.

Xu Jiao's eyes lit up, and he said thoughtfully: "According to my speculation, when the ancestor left, he had just broken through to the fusion stage. It is very likely that he had already stepped into the wild world and traveled the entire Fengyuan Continent."

"If this is true, it seems reasonable to get to know one or two elders from other races. Could it be that there are clues to the disappearance of our ancestors hidden in this?"

“It’s not entirely impossible.”

Xu Yan and the other two old men exchanged glances with delight on their faces, and almost expressed their agreement in unison.

Xu Qianyu and the giant looked at each other and couldn't help showing excitement.

"Although this is just a guess, it cannot be ruled out."

"Please wait for a moment, Senior. I will be back soon. Uncle Yan, please and Yu'er accompany you for a while."

The man in white took a deep breath, put the two items on the table in his pocket without hesitation, and then apologized to Lin Mo.

"Please feel free to do as you please, Brother Xu." Lin Mo responded nonchalantly.

So, Xu Jiao, holding the two items, led the other old man and the giant man and left first.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Mo, Xu Qianyu and Xu Yan were the only three people left in the hall.

"Senior Lin, I once heard Yu'er mention that when she was training in Tianyuan City, she received your careful guidance."

"Otherwise, she might not have been able to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm so quickly. As her great uncle, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you on behalf of Yu'er."

After the old man chatted with Lin Mo for a few words, he bowed respectfully.

Lin Mo responded calmly:

"It's just that Fellow Daoist Qianyu has an extraordinary talent. I only provided some insignificant help back then."

"When talking about this matter, I heard from Yu'er that you seem to have a deep connection with our ancestors. Is this news true?"

Xu Yan asked curiously.

"I really didn't have the chance to meet Senior Bingpo Fairy directly, but there is indeed some story about our origins."

"Otherwise, that senior wouldn't have entrusted me to hand over the relevant items."

"If you have any doubts about this, just look at this and you will understand."

Lin Mo glanced at the old man, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and suddenly stretched out a finger and waved it gently in front of him.

Then, with a "puff" sound, a blue flame suddenly bloomed at the fingertips. After spinning for a while, it turned into a crystal clear blue ice flower.

"Blue Ice Flame!"

The old man exclaimed, his eyes fixed on the blue ice flowers, his face full of surprise.

"Are you also..."

Xu Qianyu, who was standing by, was also shocked when she saw this scene and whispered to herself.

"It's not what you think. I just collected some cold flames left by my ancestors in the mortal world many years ago." Lin Mo explained with a smile.

"I see!"

Xu Yan suddenly understood, but there was still a hint of doubt in his eyes, but he didn't dare to ask further questions.

After all, Lin Mo is a master in the fusion stage. How can a junior like him who is in the void refining stage question him casually?

Almost at the same time, in a secret room behind the palace that was tightly protected by numerous restrictions.

The patriarch of the Xu family, the giant man, and another old man were seriously examining the two objects placed on the stone table in the secret room.

"This talisman is too powerful. With our cultivation level, we are unable to use our magic power to forcibly open it. It seems that just as Senior Lin said, these items were passed on to our ancestors by the Mahayana beings of the alien race."

The old man named Xu Huo seemed to have tried to remove the talisman. He looked at the two items and said helplessly.

"If it is really the work of a Mahayana being, then it is not surprising that these two talismans are so magical."

"However, if we use the power of magic weapons to forcibly destroy these two talismans, I am afraid that the items will be damaged. Therefore, there must be other clever methods available."

Xu Jiao touched his smooth chin and seemed to have some ideas.

"If the clan leader has a solution, you might as well try it first. If it doesn't work, consider other strategies."

Xu Huo was obviously a little anxious and suggested without hesitation.

"Uncle is right, let me give it a try."

Xu Jiao pondered for a long time, and finally nodded solemnly.

Then he suddenly raised his arms, opened his mouth, and a white light shot out of his mouth.

I saw a white cold light quickly rotating around the wrist, then flashing, and then being sucked into Xu Jiao's mouth again.

However, in the next moment, a bright red color appeared on the wrist, and a few drops of blood slowly slid down, just falling on the talisman that sealed the jade slip.

As the blood light flickered slightly, the essence and blood easily merged into it and disappeared without a trace.

The talisman, which was originally motionless, suddenly released a dazzling golden light, and golden words of various sizes appeared on it one after another.

However, these golden characters only flashed for a moment before disappearing completely. At the same time, the amazing spiritual energy on the talisman gradually restrained, and all the spiritual light disappeared in an instant.

Xu Jiao was overjoyed when he saw this scene, realizing that he might have guessed right. Sure enough, only by inheriting the blood of the Ice Soul Fairy could he successfully remove this talisman.

He took a deep breath and then blew gently at the jade slip.

The golden talisman trembled slightly and fell silently from the jade slip.

At this moment, after seeing this scene, the old man and the giant also showed joy from the bottom of their hearts on their faces.

Xu Jiao suppressed his inner excitement and imitated his previous actions, taking off the talisman on the jade box in the same careful manner.

The man in the white robe looked back and forth between the two objects for a moment. After a slight hesitation, he stretched out his hands and held the blue jade slip tightly in his hands.

Then, he gently placed the jade slip on his forehead and closed his eyes.

As time went by, the expression of the man in white changed from calmness to confusion, and finally to shock.

After observing this situation, the old man Xu Huo and the giant man standing nearby looked at each other and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

After about an incense stick of time had passed, the man in white finally exhaled a deep breath, and with a dazed look on his face, he took the jade slip away from his forehead.

"My dear nephew, what exactly is recorded in this jade slip?"
