Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

"This scroll of Blood Soul Secret Art was obtained by me by chance that year. It does contain several methods to save your life. If you, Fellow Daoist Lin, don't care about this at all."

"Then I am willing to repay your kindness with this precious book."

Xue Ling blinked her eyes slightly, flipped her palm, and a flawless white jade slip suddenly appeared in her palm, which she then gently placed on the table in front of Lin Mo.

The look in her eyes as she gazed at Lin Mo was full of teasing and mockery.

After hearing these words, Lin Mo's pupils instantly constricted and his eyes were fixed on the jade slip in front of him. He was silent for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed it.

With a "whoosh" sound, the jade slip flew into his hand by itself.

Lin Mo's gaze passed over calmly, and an invisible spiritual force penetrated the jade slip.

When Xue Ling saw this scene, there was no change in his expression, but a hint of barely perceptible surprise flashed in his eyes.

"I am very grateful to Daoist Fellow Xueling for gifting me this precious book, but the matters recorded in it are incompatible with the skills and techniques I am practicing now. Especially the secret methods mentioned in it, I am afraid that I cannot practice them easily."

As he spoke, Lin Mo had already glanced through the contents of the jade slip, then shook his head helplessly and returned the jade slip to the table.

"Could it be that the main technique you are practicing is the Confucian magic?" Upon hearing this, Xue Ling's face changed slightly, and a hint of doubt and curiosity flashed in his eyes.

As we all know, judging from the second Nascent Soul that Lin Mo revealed, he had obviously practiced extremely advanced magic techniques.

Of course, we cannot completely deny that there may be cultivators in the world who practice two completely different techniques at the same time, but among the human race, this situation is quite rare.

"Actually, that's not the case. It's just that Lin has studied a special divine mind secret technique in the past. If he really practices the blood soul technique, it will probably cause a great obstacle to his future cultivation path."

Lin Mo replied with a smile on his face and a calm voice.

"According to your description, your Second Nascent Soul has already been cultivated to the late stage of Refining Void. Based on this, I guess you must have hidden soul thoughts secrets that can rival the Blood Soul Technique."

"Because for those of us who have cultivated auxiliary Nascent Souls, if the power of our divine thoughts is insufficient, it is often difficult for us to surpass the original master in terms of cultivation."

"Just like me, with a body made of a blood soul, my magic power has only reached the initial stage of refining emptiness. In this case, I will take this thing back first."

After hearing Lin Mo's explanation, Xue Ling did not show any surprise. He just waved his hand lightly and put the jade slip into his bag.

"Compared to the Blood Soul Technique, the Second Yuanying also has its own unique features. At least if my Second Yuanying had been away from my main body for too long like you, I'm afraid it would have caused serious consequences long ago."

Lin Mo looked at the woman in palace dress in front of him and said with a smile.

"Indeed. The Blood Soul Technique uses the unique blood refining secret technique of the ancient times to sacrifice the soul, so there is no need to worry about the backlash of the incarnation. Otherwise, Master Xue Jing, who created this technique, would not have enjoyed such a great reputation back then."

The blood spirit smiled slightly and responded.

After hearing this, Lin Mo did not respond, but just smiled faintly.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Lin once said that he had questions that he needed to consult with me. Although the memory of the original body inherited by Blood Spirit is limited, as long as I know, I will do my best to answer them for you."

The woman said with a serious look.

"Since you have made such a promise, I will no longer be polite. I believe that you, Daoist Xueling, have already heard about my origins."

Lin Mo's gaze lingered on Xu Jiao beside him, then he pondered for a moment and asked.

"Blood Spirit did conduct an in-depth investigation into this matter. Not only do you come from the same human world as Blood Spirit, but you are also able to obtain the blue ice flame that Blood Spirit left behind in the lower world. Now you are helping the Xu family to awaken me. The various coincidences involved are truly amazing."

The woman in palace dress sighed softly, her expression looking quite complicated.

"Because of this, Lin still has many doubts about certain events in the human world back then. I hope you can clear up my doubts."

Lin Mo raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said solemnly.

"Fellow Daoist, what you want to ask are all matters related to the human world?" The woman was stunned for a moment, seeming a little surprised.

"Is there something wrong?" Lin Mo's eyes flashed, and he seemed a little confused.

"It's more than inappropriate! If you want to know about the human world, I'm afraid the Blood Spirit can't provide any information."

The woman in palace dress replied with a wry smile.

Lin Mo couldn't help but frowned slightly, but he didn't continue to ask. He knew that the other party would definitely give a reasonable explanation.

As expected, after the palace-dressed woman's expression became more serious, she spoke again:
"It's not that the Blood Spirit is being mysterious, but I really don't have any detailed records about the human world in my memory. My understanding of the human world is limited to a very vague outline."

"This actually happened. Did you lose your memory of the human world when you accepted the blood soul seal, or was it due to some other reason?"

Lin Mo asked this question as he had many doubts in his mind.

"The truth is not that simple. In fact, when I received your memory inheritance, I did not copy this part of the memory."

The woman replied in a firm tone.

"Then what is the reason for this?"

"Well...Blood Spirit knows nothing about this." The woman in palace dress seemed a little embarrassed.

The corners of Lin Mo's mouth twitched slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything more.

The woman in palace dress also felt quite embarrassed, but she came to visit Lin Mo this time.

In fact, there was another more important matter that needed to be dealt with, so after hesitating for a moment, her expression looked a little strange, and she spoke again:
"I also have a question in my mind, I wonder if I should ask it."

Lin Mo couldn't help but feel completely speechless.

His question had not yet been answered, but now it was the other party's turn to ask him for information. However, he remained calm on the surface and just smiled faintly:
"No matter what the matter is, you can raise it with confidence."

"Then I will dare to ask, Fellow Daoist Lin, have you ever possessed any magical instrument related to the Blood Spirit when you were in the human world?"

"When I saw you a few days ago, I sensed an unusually familiar aura from you."

"Although I can't recall the specifics, I somehow feel that this item has great significance to both the Blood Spirit and me?"

After taking a deep breath, the Blood Spirit asked in a very solemn tone.

When Lin Mo heard this, his expression changed slightly. He stared at the woman in palace dress for a long while before he nodded slowly: "Although Daoyou said very little, I think I understand what you are referring to."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo opened his mouth and a ball of green light spurted out.

The light spun in the air for a few times, then turned into a small green tripod and gently fell on Lin Mo's palm.

This is the Xutian Ding.

"Xu Ling Ding, oh, no, it should be Xu Tian Ding..."

When Xue Ling saw this treasure, she couldn't help but exclaimed, her face filled with joy, but then her eyes became a little dull and her expression became extremely complicated.

"Oh, fellow Daoist, you can actually identify this treasure!" Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

"That shouldn't be a mistake. Although I have almost no memory of the things in the human world, as soon as I saw this tripod, I blurted out its name for no apparent reason."

"And judging from the aura it exudes, it seems to be very similar to the Xu Ling Ding that I own. It should also be made by me personally."

"As for the reason, I don't know, but this treasure is undoubtedly very important to me."

The Blood Spirit stared at the small green tripod and whispered to himself.

"It's extremely important!" An intriguing expression appeared on Lin Mo's face.

"As for the reason, I am also unable to explain it. Perhaps it is due to the strong will in my blood soul. Fellow Daoist Lin, I will not beat around the bush."

"I am willing to pay any price to take back this Xutian Ding. As long as you are willing to accomplish this, Brother Lin can ask me for anything."

After thinking for a moment, Xue Ling spoke carefully.

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes, stroked his chin, and did not respond immediately for a while.

After a flash of white light quickly passed by, a huge jade box, two smaller jade boxes, and a blue leather bag were quietly placed on the table next to Lin Mo.

"There is a 30,000-year-old 'Magic Jade Flower' here that is extremely beneficial for practicing magic."

"A magical weapon called 'Eight Dragon Blades' that can control the power of eight dragons, and a bag of top-grade spirit stones worth up to 30 million. Xue Ling hopes to exchange these precious items for the Xutian Ding in Daoist's hand."

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lin is satisfied with this? This matter can be regarded as a favor that I owe you. After I return to the human race, I will definitely give you a generous reward."

Xue Ling said with his eyes moving.

Lin Mo smiled slightly, and his spiritual sense instantly penetrated the three items on the table.

Just as the woman in palace dress described, the items inside were exactly as she said.

A black spiritual flower that is extremely useful for practicing magic, a strange blue blade engraved with eight dragon patterns, and a leather bag full of top-grade spiritual stones.

Lin Mo stretched out his hand, and the small jade box containing the black spiritual flower was immediately taken into his hand.

"What exactly does Brother Daoist Lin mean by this?" Xue Ling frowned slightly, looking a little confused.

"This black jade flower is indeed valuable to me, so I will not refuse. As for the spirit stone and this magic weapon, there is no need to exchange them. I am not short of such items."

"Although I am not an upright gentleman, I also understand the principle of remembering the source of water. The dry blue ice flame and this tripod I obtained in the lower world have helped me defeat powerful enemies many times."

"Based on this alone, I will not make excessive demands. Moreover, this black jade flower is a spiritual medicine unique to the True Demon Realm. Although its rarity is slightly inferior to that of a magic weapon, the gap is not too big."

Lin Mo explained with a smile.

Then, the small tripod in Lin Mo's hand suddenly flew into the air, and after a flash, it came in front of the woman and hovered there gently.

Lin Mo's behavior and words obviously surprised the woman in palace dress. She looked at the small tripod in front of her with a complicated expression on her face.

However, this woman was no ordinary person. After a brief silence, she said seriously:

"Thank you for this favor, Brother Lin. Xue Ling would like to express my sincere gratitude on behalf of the Xu family and myself."

"If you need any help in the future, you can go to the Xu family to find the Blood Spirit. Although the Blood Spirit's cultivation is still shallow, it is still able to provide substantial support to you in some aspects."

The woman in palace dress spoke briefly and with a solemn tone. Then she waved her sleeves, and a blood-red light appeared.

The small green tripod in front of her, along with the other two items left on the table, disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Then, the woman bowed slightly to Lin Mo and walked towards the attic door without hesitation.

"Then I will take my leave first."

Xu Jiao was quite surprised to see this situation. He quickly stood up and saluted Lin Mo, then followed closely behind.

Lin Mo stared at the direction of the attic door with flickering eyes. After a long time, he let out a deep sigh.

For some reason, although he did not get the answer he wanted from the Blood Spirit, and still knew nothing about the whereabouts of its real body, after he returned the Xu Tian Ding to the woman, he suddenly felt extremely relieved.

All the questions that might have troubled him on the path of cultivation seemed to become irrelevant in an instant. The impact of the oath he made to the young man surnamed Weng was also completely relieved at this moment.

Although the Xutian Ding is undoubtedly an extremely outstanding magic weapon, it is obvious that this treasure must have some mysterious uses that are not yet known. Otherwise, considering its power in battle alone, it cannot even be compared with the other magic weapons on Lin Mo.

Now that such a precious thing has been handed over so easily, I naturally feel a little regretful and sad, but it has not reached the level of being extremely nostalgic and difficult to give up.

From today onwards, not only will the confusion and obstacles hidden in one's heart be reduced, but one can also establish a beautiful and harmonious connection with the blood spirits in the Xu family, and even have the opportunity to get to know the Ice Soul Fairy better in the future.

Furthermore, he received as a reward a black jade magic flower whose value could be known to be immeasurable just by hearsay.

All in all, it was extremely worth it.

However, when the affairs here have been basically completed, it also means that it is time to leave the Xu family and leave this place.

Considering that the Wanbao Conference is about to be held and there are only a few years left, now is a good time to take a short trip within Tianyuan, and when the time is right, gradually move to the venue of the conference.

Lin Mo then stood up and walked slowly towards the stairs leading down, whispering thoughtfully. (End of this chapter)
