Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

Chapter 717

However, during this process, the mysterious figure named Qi Lingzi kept trying to persuade Lin Mo and Hai Dashao to join their Wuhai Temple.

It was as if he wanted to experience the majesty of the "Master" before looking for a new mentor.

This behavior naturally attracted the ridicule and sarcasm of Mr. Hai, and Lin Mo could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

So, Lin Mo led his two companions to fly for about a month, and finally arrived at the top of the mountain which was only one step away from the Xuanwu Realm. They prepared to take a short rest and then continue on their journey.

At this moment, Qi Lingzi began to chatter about the Wuhai Temple, and then repeated his request to invite the two to join countless times.

But Young Master Hai rejected them one by one without mercy.

Lin Mo kept smiling, but there was a hint of blue light flashing in the depths of his eyes. At the same time, he stared at Young Master Hai with an imperceptible look.

Soon, an unusual blush appeared on Young Master Hai's face, but it only lasted for a moment before disappearing without a trace.

Lin Mo's heart trembled, realizing that an opportunity might have come. He immediately released a sense of spiritual awareness into Young Master Hai's body to quickly investigate.

Young Master Hai proudly talked about his future, imagining what would happen to him after he succeeded in his cultivation.

However, he didn't know that the wind spirit root he was so proud of no longer existed.

If anyone were to conduct a spiritual root test on Young Master Hai at this time, they would find that he was just an ordinary person with no spiritual roots.

Lin Mo was greatly surprised, as if he was electrocuted.

Just like last time, Young Master Hai's thunder spirit root suddenly disappeared.

If nothing unexpected happens, his spiritual roots will reappear after a day and a night.

The same scene had happened before his eyes ten days ago. It was incredible that there were spiritual roots in the world that could disappear in a short period of time.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo's face turned pale and endless doubts arose in his heart.

"Brother Lin, why are you so absent-minded? You don't look very well. Would you like another cup of our Wuhai Temple's spiritual tea?"

"Or try the delicious fruit I made. I still have a few in stock. The last time I had this juice, the taste was unforgettable."

Qi Lingzi was very observant and noticed Lin Mo's abnormality, so he suggested with a smile.

"Qi Lingzi is right. The juice that Brother Lin brought last time is indeed delicious!"

When Young Master Hai heard Qi Lingzi's words, he immediately became energetic, stopped talking, and looked at Lin Mo with the same expectant eyes.

"I know you are still missing the fruits I brought last time."

"It's not that I'm stingy. It's just that although this fruit called 'Condensed Pearl Fruit' tastes great, the pure spiritual power it contains is also quite amazing. Excessive consumption may damage your meridians."

"So I only brought out six this time, and each person can share two."

Faced with the greedy gazes of the two men, Lin Mo could only cough awkwardly, then took out a jade-white plate from his sleeve, on which were placed six egg-sized, round, pearl-like emerald green fruits.

Amidst loud laughter, Qi Lingzi put two crystal clear spiritual fruits into his mouth.

Although there were only two, it was enough for him.

Not to mention the deliciousness and nutrition of these spiritual fruits, the spiritual energy they contain alone is enough to improve his cultivation.

He couldn't help but recall the three spiritual fruits Brother Lin had given him. That experience had significantly improved his cultivation, which had been stagnant, within just a few days.

If this situation really happens again, then he hopes to learn more from Brother Lin about purchasing this thing called "Condensed Pearl Fruit" so that he can purchase it in large quantities.

In this way, he no longer needed to rely on elixirs and long periods of meditation. He could easily improve his cultivation by consuming two spiritual fruits every three to five days.

However, just as he was excitedly imagining the bright prospects of the future, a black shadow suddenly flashed by, and the number of spiritual fruits in his hand instantly decreased by two.

Qi Lingzi was stunned, and when he looked carefully, he found that it was Young Master Hai who moved both hands at the same time, grabbed a spiritual fruit with one hand, and started chewing it without any hesitation.

“What a waste!”

Seeing this scene, Qi Lingzi couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

However, Young Master Hai turned a blind eye to all this and just enjoyed the delicious food in his mouth, letting out satisfied exclamations.

Lin Mo looked at their behavior and laughed secretly.

He did not know the true value of these spiritual fruits - each one was worth more than a thousand spiritual stones.

Perhaps, the two of them did not care about this luxurious waste and were just satisfied with the brief enjoyment of their taste buds.

However, this seemingly ordinary spirit being actually has something extraordinary.

Lin Mo turned his gaze to Qi Lingzi, his eyes slightly narrowed, with a gleam in his eyes.

After careful observation for a period of time, he discovered that there was a mysterious bean-like bean hidden in Qi Lingzi's dantian, surrounded by a layer of spiritual light.

Even he, with his powerful spiritual power, was able to see through this hidden secret.

When he tried to explore the mysterious bead with his divine sense, he encountered a powerful sealing force.

"Inherited magical weapon?"

Lin Mo was shocked and immediately realized that this might be some kind of special inherited secret treasure.

In order to ensure that their inheritance is not interrupted, some immortal cultivators choose to seal all their knowledge and skills in a certain inheritance instrument through special secret techniques.

It is then implanted inside the body of the offspring or disciple.

This type of magical weapon usually has specific conditions for unsealing. If the conditions are not met, it will be hidden forever in the body of the inheritor and will not be noticed by the outside world.

Generally speaking, as long as the inheritor's cultivation reaches a certain level, he or she can obtain the various secret techniques and skills contained in the inherited magic weapon on his or her own.

Of course, if the inheritor is in danger of life, he can also use special secret techniques to remove the magic weapon and then implant it into the body of another disciple.

However, if an outsider attempts to forcibly take out the magic weapon, it will often cause the inheritor to explode and die at the same time.

The refining method of this inherited magical weapon is extremely rare, and the refining process is also extremely difficult. It can be said to be an extremely precious inherited secret technique.

Lin Mo didn't expect that this kind of secret technique would appear on Qi Lingzi, which aroused his great curiosity.

The founder of the sect known as "Wu Hai Guan" does not seem to be an ordinary person. His true identity is probably far beyond the scope of a cultivator in the Ascension Period.

However, judging from the many great magical powers that Lin Mo had mastered, he had long lost interest in other people's cultivation methods. Although he was surprised by this, he quickly shifted his attention to the handsome young man, Young Master Hai.

What kind of strange spiritual root is it that can dissipate at will?

This aroused the little-known curiosity in his heart.

After Qi Lingzi took out a set of exquisite tea sets and carefully brewed a few cups of fragrant spiritual tea for everyone to taste, and after they finished eating all the remaining spiritual fruits, the three of them did not stay here any longer.

Lin Mo once again demonstrated his amazing ability to fly with a sword. He broke through the clouds and mist, and with his two companions, he turned into a dazzling white light and rushed silently towards the Xuanwu Realm.

Compared with the Tianyuan Realm and the Tianling Realm, the Xuanwu Realm has significant differences.

Although the total number of its practitioners is slightly insufficient, far less than the former, the number of its body cultivators is so large that it is unmatched by the other two.

The people here are quite fierce and tough. Even the elderly, girls or children dare to hold weapons and fight fiercely with various beasts in the wild.

However, large human towns are extremely rare in Xuanwu, and most areas exist in the form of small villages and mountain strongholds, scattered across the vast land.

In addition, because this realm is located at the junction of the three realms and the seven demon lands, both the scale of the beast tide and the frequency of the appearance of low-level demon beasts are much higher than those in the other two realms.

From time to time, some high-level transformed monsters would sneak into the Xuanwu Realm and engage in some illegal activities.

Therefore, the Xuanwu Realm can be said to be the most turbulent area among the three realms. The closer to the demon territory bordering the Xuanwu Realm, the more chaotic the situation becomes.

However, Jiuxian Mountain is a unique existence in this chaotic land.

This majestic sacred mountain is located directly on the border between the Demon Fox Land and the Xuanwu Realm, and its peak is nine stories high.

Not only does it possess rare and top-grade spiritual veins, but it also grows many special spiritual medicines that are of great benefit to both humans and demons.

In addition, Jiuxian Mountain has steep terrain and an extremely special location, so it is jointly controlled by elite forces from both the human and demon races.

In this place, no matter how bold and reckless the members of the human and demon tribes are, it is difficult for them to do anything wrong near Jiuxian Mountain.

In recent years, in order to clean up the environment around Jiuxian Mountain and ensure peace, both the human and demon races have dispatched large numbers of troops to launch cleanup operations and expel those notorious small and medium-sized forces.

In just five or six years, Jiuxian Mountain has become a thriving place, as if it had become a paradise in the Xuanwu Realm.

Now, the millennium grand ceremony of both the human and demon races - the Wanbao Conference is about to be held grandly on Jiuxian Mountain.

Although it is still several months away from its official opening, Jiuxian Mountain has already gathered countless cultivators and demon cultivators from the three realms and the seven demon lands.

Although they could not set foot inside Jiuxian Mountain for the time being, more than ten spontaneously formed markets of various sizes had already formed around the mountain.

In these markets, middle and high-level monks frequently appear, some rare materials and elixirs also continue to emerge, and the trading atmosphere is extremely lively.

In these markets, the boundary between humans and demons seems to become blurred, although the number of demons is still small compared to that of humans.

But almost all the demon clan members who dared to show up were high-level monsters that were able to transform most of their bodies into human form.

Therefore, judging from actual strength, the demons in these markets are not much inferior to the human race. The two races can coexist peacefully, and it is rare for one race to bully the other.

However, these markets are not official venues for the Wanbao Conference, but are merely temporary markets, and naturally lack strict order management.

Even if Jiuxianshan would send some guards to patrol the market town, they could only maintain superficial calm.

In the dark, illegal acts such as armed robbery and forced purchases and sales are still common.

On this day, a similar incident was taking place on a desolate hilltop far away from Jiuxian Mountain.

A thin middle-aged monk and a girl who was not even twelve years old were surrounded on three sides by three murderous men in black.

The middle-aged cultivator has not yet broken through to the middle stage of foundation building, and his daughter is only at the third to fourth level of Qi Refining.

However, the people surrounding them were all powerful warriors in the late stage of foundation building, and each of them had a ferocious look and murderous intent.

"Bai Huaji, you'd better hand over the thousand-year-old blood ginseng. If you know what's good for you, the three of us brothers will not only let you and your daughter go, but we will also pay you some spirit stones in exchange."

"Otherwise, Shi will turn hostile and ruthless."

Among the three men in black, the oldest one, Shi Lun, put forward his request in a cold tone.

"Shi Lun, Bai has made a mistake in choosing you. I can only consider myself unlucky to have been deceived by you. However, if I want to get the blood ginseng, I must first let my daughter leave here safely."

"Otherwise, I would rather destroy the blood ginseng than give it to you."

Although the haggard middle-aged man looked tired, he did not show any signs of panic.

As he spoke, he took out a brocade box from his sleeve, and with his other hand, a spiritual light flashed, he held the box tightly and spoke with an angry expression.

Seeing this scene, the three men in black couldn't help but change their expressions slightly.

"No, no one can leave until you hand over the blood ginseng."

The other sturdy man in black rejected the proposal without hesitation.

"Humph, how can I be sure that after you three get the blood ginseng, you will kill me and my daughter? Don't talk to me about oaths and curses. I will never believe in your promises."

The middle-aged monk responded in a cold tone, his eyes determined.

"Then don't let your imagination run wild..."

"Okay, Shi promises you!"

The black-robed monk who had originally opposed was about to threaten again, but was interrupted by Shi Lun, who immediately agreed to his request.

"Brother Shi, you..."

"Aren't you willing to obey Shi's orders?"

Shi Lun glanced at the other two people, his eyes full of coldness.

"No, how dare we disobey Brother Shi's order? Let this little girl leave first!"

The other two black-robed monks looked at each other, obviously quite afraid of Shi Lun, and had no choice but to agree to his request.

When the middle-aged monk saw this situation, he couldn't help but feel extremely happy.

"You have heard the decision of the three of us. You can let this little girl leave now. However, if you regret it later or play tricks, you must know the consequences!"

Shi Lun warned the middle-aged monk in a sinister tone.
