Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

The runes flowed out from the blood pool like a trickle into the sea, quickly sank into the crystal coffin, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Then, a beam of pale light gathered in the coffin and turned into a blurry white figure.

Faced with this situation, Xu Jiao waved his arm without hesitation. In an instant, a small blood-red bottle flew out, and after spinning, it stopped steadily in front of the man.

Xu Jiao took a deep breath, stretched out his fingers, and danced them quickly. One after another, the magic spells floated into the bottle like meteors.

The surface of the bottle immediately flashed a bloody light, and after a slight tremor, the bottle cap opened automatically.

With a "puff" sound, a line of blood spurted out from the bottle mouth and under Xu Jiao's control, rushed straight to the crystal coffin above the blood pool.

The blood line flashed by and easily merged into the coffin.

A strange phenomenon occurred. The white figure in the blood-red crystal coffin was dyed blood-red the moment the blood line merged, and suddenly turned into a human-shaped blood cocoon.

The Xu family members around them seemed to know that something was wrong. They were shining brightly and chanting more and more excitedly. Especially the three Void Refining cultivators, who were driving the blood-colored banners in front of them like crazy.

The bright red runes above the magic circle were spinning around the blood-red crystal coffin, and the blood-red vortex in the pool also emitted a sharp hissing sound.

Countless blood threads shot out from the blood pool in waves, flashed into the blood coffin, and tightly wrapped around the human-shaped blood cocoon.

So many blood threads attacked at the same time that the human-shaped blood cocoon became indistinguishable from a real person in the blink of an eye, with eyes, ears, mouth and nose gradually appearing.

From a distance, it looks extremely weird.

However, if one observes more deeply with the divine consciousness, one can see that a steady stream of blood is flowing into the cocoon.

But the blood threads that were previously entangled on it had begun to turn white and fade from the inside out at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually turning into dust and disappearing.

As time went by, the Xu family members tried their best to activate the magic circle, but the blood spurting out of the blood pool still showed no increase. Not only did the blood cocoon stop expanding, but it began to shrink gradually.

Looking at the painful expression on the human-shaped blood cocoon's face, the Xu family members, including Xu Jiao, were suddenly shocked, and all the high-level beings desperately mobilized their magic power.

However, all they could do was to prevent the condition of the blood cocoon in the crystal coffin from getting worse.

After a while, the Xu family members had pale faces and obvious signs of magic power depletion.

Seeing this scene, Xu Jiao was extremely anxious and couldn't help but turn to Lin Mo in the corner of the hall for help.

At this time, Lin Mo was still sitting in the same place, holding his chin with one hand, watching everyone's actions, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Senior Lin..."

Xu Jiao called out in an earnest tone, as if he had more requests to say.

However, Lin Mo seemed to have anticipated the white-clothed man's intention and interrupted him first.

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. Since Lin has agreed to help, he must have a plan in mind."

After saying that, he stood up leisurely and waved his hand to pat himself on the head.

A black light flashed, and a half-foot-tall black man suddenly emerged.

This person was wearing black armor, had bare hands, and had no expression on his face. He was none other than Lin Mo's second Nascent Soul.

Then, Lin Mo waved his arms, a ball of golden light flashed, and he transformed into a leopard-scaled beast with extraordinary charm.

This beast exudes a strong aura, and its eyes are cold and piercing, making people afraid to approach it.

When everyone saw this Nascent Soul and the beast, their hearts trembled.

Before Xu Jiao and the others could even react, Lin Mo whispered, "Go."

The demon baby formed seals with his hands, and his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Then, Xu Huo felt something strange above his head, and a black Yuanying mysteriously appeared from the void. His face changed slightly, and the magic weapon in his body was ready to move, and he became alert.

However, the demon child ignored him and just stretched out his hand to the blood flag in front of him. Two "puff" sounds were heard, and two streams of black light were injected into the blood flag.

The originally dim flag suddenly shone brightly, with power far greater than before.

At this time, the leopard-scaled beast appeared beside Xu Yan, and the beam of light spit out from its mouth also hit another blood flag.

Lin Mo stepped forward alone, an arc of electricity flashed under his feet, and he instantly moved in front of Xu Yuan.

Before the other party could react, there was a slight sound coming from Lin Mo's sleeve, and a green lotus flew out and sank into the blood flag.

The blood flag vibrated violently, blood light surged, and runes surged out like a tide.

Lin Mo kept flicking his fingers, and blue lotuses flew out, transforming into pure spiritual power and injecting into the banner. Xu Yuan, who originally felt heavy pressure, now felt much more relaxed.

The blood-colored vortex in the blood pool stopped rotating after the magic circle was strengthened, its area increased by nearly one-fold, and the blood turned into blood mist and sprayed out.

The blood cocoon gradually returned to its original shape under the nourishment of the blood mist, and its appearance became more like a woman. Xu Jiao shouted excitedly:

"Begin to condense the blood body!"

Under his command, members of the Xu family changed their spells one after another.

The blood-colored runes rushed into the transparent crystal coffin frantically, instantly blending into the blood-colored cocoon, and then flashed and sank into it.

After absorbing the runes, spiritual light flowed on the surface of the blood-colored cocoon, gradually becoming crystal clear, and finally solidified into a bright red sculpture, floating motionlessly in the coffin.

Xu Jiao let out a long sigh and led everyone to pause the steps of performing the magic spell.

As the light of the magic circle faded, everything returned to calm. Many monks stood up and stared at the blood-red crystal coffin in the air.

The top leaders of the Xu family were concentrating on observing the contents of the coffin.

Lin Mo's mind moved, and he called back the demon baby and the leopard-scaled beast. The two returned quietly, with a flash of light, and disappeared into their sleeves. Lin Mo turned to the top of the blood pool with interest.

The surface of the blood-red sculpture flickered with crystal light, and then two "pop" sounds were heard, and cracks appeared where the eyes were, revealing two holes.

The bright red eyes below turned, emitting a fascinating light. Lin Mo's face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

The hall fell into silence. The monks of Xu family held their breath and watched the changes in the crystal coffin.

After the first two slight sounds, the blood-colored sculpture, like fragile porcelain, produced countless tiny cracks in the continuous crisp sounds.

With a soft moan, the solidified substance on the surface of the statue turned into fragments and floated down.

Just as everyone was waiting for Xu Jiao to take action, a woman dressed in a blood-red dress appeared elegantly among the palace clothes.

She opened her beautiful eyes gently, her pupils flashing with a cold light, cold and ruthless. After scanning all living beings, her eyes finally stopped on Lin Mo.

Lin Mo suddenly felt the exploration of a divine power. Although it was not strong enough to penetrate his body and mind, it gave him a mysterious feeling of being fully seen through.

Then, his heart tightened and he quickly activated the internal skills to block the prying power.

The woman in palace dress who could transform her spiritual power so easily seemed a little surprised, then she withdrew her gaze and stretched out her hands as soft as silk.

As he flipped over, the red crystal coffin on his body began to show flickering runes, and then its size gradually shrank until it became a pocket-sized crystal on his palm, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

In an instant, she was freed from the confinement of the treasure and faced the people below. "Are you all members of the Xu family? Although I have never seen this fellow Taoist, I wonder if he is from your family?"

The woman spoke, and everyone present was shocked. Lin Mo frowned slightly and asked:
"Are you the Ice Soul Fairy?"

Although this woman's body was made of blood essence, Lin Mo was unable to directly sense the depth of her cultivation, and was quite curious about this. However, even if it was only a fragment of her soul, he was not afraid.

"You can call me Ice Soul Fairy. May I ask if you are a cultivator in the Fusion Stage?"

The woman in palace dress responded to Lin Mo's question with a flash of blood in her eyes.

Lin Mo confessed: "I am Lin Mo, entrusted by Daoist Fellow Xu to come and awaken the Fairy Blood Soul."

Upon learning that Lin Mo was indeed a cultivator in the fusion stage and that his strength was comparable to hers, the woman in palace dress softened her attitude a little.

"I see. Thanks to all the efforts of the descendants, we were able to invite a powerful person in the Fusion Stage like Daoyou to help us."

As the conversation deepened, the coldness in the eyes of the woman in palace dress gradually disappeared, and she expressed her gratitude to Lin Mo.

Xu Jiao and others looked ashamed. Lin Mo was not invited by them, but he helped voluntarily.

If not, it would be difficult to awaken the ancestor's blood soul this time.

"This matter has a lot to do with me, so I should do my best to help. Besides, I have other connections with Fairy Bingpo."

Lin Mo smiled lightly.

"Is this really true?" The woman in palace dress was surprised and turned to look at the monk from Xu family below.

"Ancestor, what Senior Lin said is true. Not only was the Blood Soul sent back to the Xu family by Senior Lin, but Senior Lin and Ancestor Bingpo both came from the same human world and obtained the blue ice flame left by the ancestor."

Xu Jiao answered respectfully.

"I see! Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist! I will definitely reward you handsomely after I am out of this predicament."

The woman in palace dress had beautiful eyes and a firm tone.

"I have no intention of asking for anything in return. I just have a few questions that I hope to consult with the fairy. But now is not the time to discuss. We will discuss it after the fairy's Dharma body stabilizes."

Lin Mo looked at the woman and spoke slowly.

"Daoyou, you have a keen eye. Indeed, this blood body has just been condensed, and it will take some time for the blood soul to merge with it perfectly."

The woman in palace dress was a little surprised, but did not deny it.

"Haha, Fang's blood soul has just awakened, and I'm sure you have a lot to say to your compatriots. I will not bother you any more, please ask Fairy Qianyu to take me to my residence."

Lin Mo suddenly turned to Xu Qianyu beside him.

"Ah...I'll follow your instructions!"

"Please take your leave first. When the blood soul of our ancestor recovers, I will thank you in person."

Xu Qianyu paused slightly and looked at Xu Jiao, while the latter was ecstatic about Lin Mo's words and thanked him repeatedly.

Seeing this, the woman in palace dress did not try to stop him, but just nodded to Lin Mo.

So, Lin Mo and Xu Qianyu turned around and left the hall.

After Lin Mo's figure disappeared at the exit, Xu Jiao led the Xu family monks to salute the woman in the air again.

"Everyone, please stand up. It is not easy to awaken my blood soul. Are you the current patriarch of the Xu family?" The woman in palace dress asked Xu Jiao.

"The 173rd generation descendant Xu Jiao pays homage to Ancestor Bingpo!"

Xu Jiao answered respectfully.

"The 173rd generation? Time flies. Although your cultivation is low, it is already quite outstanding. Everyone, please stand up. Although this blood soul carries some of my memories, it is not my real self."

"Because it was sealed so long ago, its memory is already broken and important things are becoming increasingly rare. There is no need to show too much respect to the ancestor, just call him Blood Spirit."

The woman in palace dress shook her head helplessly.

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Jiao and others became worried.

"May I ask Lord Xue Ling, can you recall the true whereabouts of Ancestor Bingpo and his safety?" Xu Yuan was eager to know the answer and asked directly.

Hearing this question, the woman in palace dress looked solemn and shook her head after a moment.

Everyone felt sad.

"However, although I cannot identify the exact location of the original body, based on the blood connection, I know that it still exists in the spirit world, and I still have a vague impression of some related clues."

The woman in palace dress changed the subject, sparking hope in everyone's hearts.

"Even if the clues are vague, as long as there are traces to follow, we will do our best to find our ancestors and bring them back." Xu Jiao took a deep breath and promised solemnly.

"This is not an easy matter. Although it is difficult to recall the specific details, I speculate that the deity may be trapped somewhere in Lu."

"Before that, please inform everyone about the current situation of the human race and the incident with the powerful person in the Fusion Stage just now."

"I sense a familiar and intimate aura from that person's body. In addition to the known blue ice flame, it seems that this person has also obtained something else. However, I cannot immediately find out what it is." The Blood Spirit looked confused.

When Xu Jiao heard that the Blood Spirit wanted to know about the history of ten thousand years, he looked at each other in surprise. After a pause, he replied piously:

"If Senior Xue Ling is willing to listen, I will tell you about it. Since the disappearance of our ancestor Bing Po, our human race has experienced a huge disaster - the Demonic Disaster, which led to the death of the Three Emperors and the Seven Demon Kings, causing the human and demon races to fall into chaos in the next ten thousand years..."

The head of the Xu family began to narrate in detail the major events that happened tens of thousands of years ago, as well as the various misfortunes that the Xu family had encountered, even including several experiences that nearly wiped out the family.

When all the stories were told, he told the blood soul incarnation in front of him all the information about Lin Mo that he had learned from Xu Qianyu.

The blood spirit was always suspended above the blood pool, her face as calm as water. Only the occasional flash of blood in her eyes suggested that her heart was not without fluctuations.

At this time, Lin Mo had already sent Xu Qianyu away from the attic where he lived before. Then he climbed to the top floor, leaned on the window and stared at the Xu family temple, deep in thought.

However, in just a moment, he left the window and returned to the center of the top floor.

He waved his hand and a yellow cushion appeared in front of him. Then he sat down cross-legged, clasped his hands together, and closed his eyes, as if he had entered a state of meditation.

Three days later, the palace-dressed woman who called herself Xue Ling came to the door of the attic with Xu Jiao. Lin Mo, who had already sensed the movement, calmly invited them into the hall on the first floor.

"Congratulations to you for successfully refining your bloody body!"

As soon as the woman in palace dress sat down, Lin Mo congratulated her with a smile on his face.

“The fusion of the Dharmakaya and the Blood Soul was completed quickly, all thanks to the help of Fellow Daoist Lin’s pure magic power. Otherwise, the Blood Spirit would probably need a longer time to consolidate the Dharmakaya to its current level.”

The Blood Spirit also smiled in response. Her originally bright red pupils had now turned into a translucent black color like that of an ordinary person.

"Lin, it's just a small effort. But your Blood Soul Secret Technique is extremely mysterious. It can easily reshape your incarnation. It is really a great ability to save your life."

When Lin Mo heard the blood spirit call itself a blood spirit, he was slightly stunned, but he quickly returned to normal and waved his hand. (End of this chapter)
