Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

Chapter 723

Lin Mo listened to her words, nodded in agreement at first, then shook his head, and then walked a few steps to the red wooden bed.

He grabbed the girl's arm, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a deep blue light.

Seeing this scene, the old woman and other people held their breath involuntarily, trying their best not to make any sound.

The middle-aged man and the young woman both looked expectant, as if they had high hopes for Lin Mo's treatment method.

After a cup of tea, Lin Mo's eyes lit up, and suddenly, a colorful cold light quickly bloomed on the palm of his hand that was tightly holding the girl's arm.

The cold light continued to flow like running water, and the green air on the girl's face gradually shrank until it gathered where Lin Mo's palm was.

In just a few seconds, they formed a green gas ball shaped like an egg, which appeared and disappeared on the girl's wrist.

A gleam of light suddenly flashed in Lin Mo's eyes, and then he quickly turned his other hand, and suddenly a thin needle shining with silver light appeared between his thumb and index finger.

Then it immediately shot towards the girl's wrist.

"oops!"

The young woman and the middle-aged man turned pale instantly. Although they tried hard to control themselves, they still couldn't help but move forward to stop Lin Mo.

However, a cold silver light flashed by, leaving a small wound on the girl's wrist. At this moment, Lin Mo released his tremendous magic power, and a drop of bright blood slowly emerged from the small hole.

Lin Mo moved his fingers gently again, and the silver needle flickered and disappeared into the air, replaced by a white jade plate as beautiful as the setting sun.

This jade plate is as smooth as a mirror and is exquisite!
Lin Mo gently placed the jade plate under the girl's wrist, and the blood dripped into the center of the jade plate.

With a "ding-ling" sound, at the moment the blood dripped, it actually solidified into ice, making a pleasant and crisp sound.

Seeing the scene before them, everyone, including the old woman, was so shocked that they were speechless.

Lin Mo's face showed an expected expression. He took back the drop of blood and the jade plate, and then his hands holding the girl's arms began to flash colorful cold light.

Under the cold light, the green gas quickly faded until it disappeared into smoke and finally disappeared completely.

At this critical moment, the girl moaned softly and opened her eyes vaguely.

The young woman and the middle-aged man were instantly ecstatic and expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Lin Mo again and again.

However, Lin Mo smiled and shook his head. The five-colored cold light in his hand gradually dissipated, and then he let go of the girl's arm.

But he stretched out a finger from his other hand and gently touched the girl's forehead, and then disappeared quietly with a white magic spell.

The girl who had just woken up couldn't help but tremble slightly, and then fell into sleep again.

This scene surprised everyone present!
"Don't worry. The cold poison in her body has just been cleared. She is still quite weak. It would be best for her to rest for a while. Okay, now that I have finished my consultation, let's go back to the front and discuss other matters."

Lin Mo briefly explained a few words, then left the scene without paying any attention to anyone else.

Although the old woman and others were full of doubts, they naturally did not dare to disobey Lin Mo's orders and followed him out of the room.

Therefore, after just a moment, Lin Mo sat back in his original seat in the hall.

As he savored the cup of rich spiritual tea in his hand, his eyes flickered, as if he was hesitating about an important decision.

Seeing Lin Mo's serious expression, the others naturally did not dare to disturb him easily. From the old woman to Young Master Hai, they all remained silent respectfully, patiently waiting for Lin Mo to speak.

After a long wait, Lin Mo finally raised his head and put the teacup in his hand on the table next to him, as if he had made some decision.

"Friend Bai, how much do you know about the cold poison in your daughter's body?"

Lin Mo turned to the middle-aged man and asked in a flat tone.

"I have consulted many experts for detailed diagnosis. According to them, the cold poison in Guo'er's body is caused by an extremely rare cold air in the lungs, which is very different from the ordinary cold poison."

"Apart from cultivators at or above the Fusion Stage using their powerful magic to forcibly expel it, only a few legendary yang elixirs can possibly neutralize this cold poison."

Bai Huaji was shocked and immediately told Lin Mo all the information he knew without reservation.

"Haha, no wonder they think so."

After listening to this, Lin Mo just smiled calmly and did not make any comments.

"Senior, is there any other problem with Guo'er's cold poison?"

When the young woman heard Lin Mo's words, her face suddenly changed and her worry was evident in her words.

"Excuse me, when did you two know that this child was suffering from cold poison?"

Lin Mo did not directly answer the young woman's question, but instead asked another question.

"About when I was nine!"

"Guo'er was in the process of cultivation when she suddenly fell unconscious in the secret room. We then discovered that she had a cold poison in her body."

"At first it was just a slight chill, so we didn't take it too seriously and tried some common methods to get rid of the chill, but it backfired and made the condition worse."

"In just a few years, it has developed into such a serious condition. However, when Guo'er was just born, my mother-in-law and I conducted a comprehensive physical examination on her and found nothing abnormal."

"It must be some vicious enemy who took advantage of our carelessness and secretly murdered Guo'er."

"Unfortunately, we still cannot find out who did this despicable thing. Otherwise, even if I risk my life, I will..."

The middle-aged man first showed an expression of great pain, then he clenched his teeth, his eyes full of anger.

The young woman standing next to him also had a gloomy expression on her face, and it was obvious that she was holding a grudge against the so-called "enemy".

"Enemy? No, this cold poison does not come from the outside world, but from her body, and its origin is extraordinary."

Lin Mo glanced at the two of them and spoke calmly.

"Since that is what you said, there is no doubt about it. However, I wonder if you can explain it a little and answer the doubts of the juniors?"

The old woman who had been listening for a long time spoke respectfully.

"It's okay, fellow Taoist, there's no need to be so polite. Actually, this matter is not complicated. This girl actually carries a legendary spirit called the 'Bone of Marrow Transmission'."

"This constitution did not appear when she was born, and it only began to show when she was nine years old."

"However, when the cold poison first attacks, its power is jaw-dropping. It is said that most owners of this spirit will perish in the world when it first attacks."

"Therefore, even this kind of spirit is rarely recorded in ancient books. If I hadn't accidentally learned this news, I would probably have mistaken the cold poison in this girl's body for ordinary cold air in the lungs."

Lin Mo finally began to explain in detail.

"It's actually an ice marrow body!"

The young woman and the middle-aged man looked at each other, both with astonishment in their eyes. They had never heard of such a spirit, and naturally they were full of doubts, wondering if it was real. On the other hand, the old woman, upon hearing the name of the Ice Marrow Body, a deep shock suddenly appeared on her wrinkled face.

Naturally, Young Master Hai and the other two had never heard of the "Ice Marrow Body", so they could only stare at everyone present with their eyes wide open.

After Lin Mo finished speaking, he raised his teacup again and took a sip, seemingly not caring about the audience's reactions.

"Body of ice marrow, it turns out that Guo'er has such a physique. It seems that it is really hard to predict whether it will be a blessing or a disaster." The old woman whispered softly at this moment.

"Master, do you also know about this special spirit?"

The young woman was obviously surprised by this.

“In fact, I don’t know much about it myself, but I was fortunate enough to hear a friend mention this kind of spirit by chance in the early years, and the description he gave was exactly the same as what Master Lin Xiu said.”

"However, I never expected that Guo'er would possess this spiritual body. However, this unknown blessing or disaster is really hard to predict."

The old woman looked at Lin Mo before answering.

"It is said that this type of ice marrow body not only begins to show symptoms at the age of nine, but the coldness in the body also increases year by year. Under normal circumstances, by the age of fifteen or sixteen, the host of the spirit body will be beyond help."

"If you want to save your life, there are only two ways to do it."

The old woman sighed.

"Master, what are the two methods?" The young woman was immediately overjoyed when she heard this and asked anxiously.

"One is to find a strong person in the Fusion Stage, and use his powerful magic power to expel the cold poison from his body every year, and then spend his true energy to help cleanse his meridians."

"After a hundred years, the host spirit will gradually adapt to this kind of cold air and it will no longer cause any harm to the body."

“At the same time, after proper training, this strange cold energy can even be transformed into a magical power called Ice Marrow Cold Soul, and its power is astonishing.”

The old woman hesitated for a moment before answering.

"There is such a thing. Then isn't this Ice Marrow Spirit Body an extremely excellent talent? Why did the senior call it unpredictable?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then asked with the same surprise.

"That's because the extreme coldness brought by the Ice Marrow Spirit Body is not easily suppressed. It can still be dealt with in the first few decades. As long as a certain amount of time is invested, a cultivator in the Fusion Stage can still easily suppress it."

"However, as time goes by, we must ensure that the magic power does not harm the spiritual host itself, and forcibly dispel the cold poison. During each suppression process, the fusion stage cultivator will consume a large amount of true energy."

"Especially in the last ten years or so, this level of loss has far exceeded the range that can be restored through meditation and practice."

"What's more, during this period, the fusion-stage monk will need to expend more mana to cleanse the meridians of the spiritual host."

"According to this calculation, it is enough to delay the fusion-stage cultivator who came to help for hundreds of years of hard training. Which senior is willing to bear such a price?"

The old woman said with a wry smile.

After hearing the old man's words, the joy on Fairy Yue Hua and Bai Hua's faces disappeared instantly.

After hundreds of years of practice, giving up one's loved ones to save others is something almost no one can do, let alone a stranger.

"So what about the second method?" the man asked expectantly.

"The second solution is to find the legendary elixir, refine the Yang Pill, and use the water and fire synergy technique to change the icy marrow physique."

"However, this is not much easier than the first option. Miraculous medicines are rare and only seen once in a thousand years. It is difficult for us to collect them."

"Even if we obtain it and refine it into a pill, there are still many hidden dangers after taking it."

"Although the Ice Marrow Constitution can be broken, it will also damage the spiritual roots. In severe cases, the person will become a mortal. In mild cases, the spiritual roots will be damaged, and the path of cultivation will be full of difficulties."

The old man explained seriously.

The middle-aged man looked pale and speechless.

On the other hand, the young woman pondered for a moment and resolutely asked Lin Mo:
"Senior Lin, you have great magical powers. Can you help Guo'er? I will do my best to repay you in the future."

Hearing this, everyone turned to Lin Mo, as if they saw a glimmer of hope.

Lin Mo's previous behavior clearly showed that he came for the girl, so it was not completely impossible for him to help.

The middle-aged man bowed to Lin Mo and thanked him without hesitation!

After hearing this, Lin Mo raised his lips slightly and spoke slowly:
"You are quite sensible. Yes, I do intend to save the child."

"Thank you for your kindness, senior!"

The woman was overjoyed and was about to kneel down, but Lin Mo waved his hand to stop her.

"Don't be so anxious to thank me. Whether I will help you depends on whether you accept my conditions. Although I admire this child, I will not easily waste hundreds of years of practice."

Lin Mo said calmly.

"Please tell me, senior. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."

Fairy Yue Hua agreed without hesitation.

Although the middle-aged man had doubts, he did not raise any objections.

After all, Lin Mo is his daughter's last hope for survival.

"The conditions are very simple. I can help this child cultivate the Ice Marrow and Cold Soul Great Divine Power and accept him as my registered disciple. When his magical power is fully developed, he must find an item for me."

"This object may be between humans and monsters, or in the depths of the wilderness. Only those who practice Ice Marrow and Cold Soul can sense and obtain it."

"Of course, this journey is extremely dangerous. Do you two still want to make a promise for this child?"

Lin Mo looked at the two of them and asked sharply.

"Go deep into the wilderness?" Baihuaji's face suddenly changed after hearing this, and he seemed hesitant.

However, although Fairy Yue Hua looked nervous, she thought for a moment and then asked carefully:

"May I ask, Senior, when Guo'er's magical powers are fully developed, how high will her cultivation level reach? If her cultivation level is still low, she will have no chance of survival if she enters the wilderness."

"Everyone, rest assured. Since I have accepted her as a registered disciple and devoted all my efforts to helping her cultivate Ice Marrow and Cold Soul, how can I let her fall into danger?"

"The things she needs require at least a spiritual cultivation level of Transformation to sense. In addition, Lin will also give her a treasure to ensure her safety."

"If we can find it near the human and demon tribes, there is no need to risk going to the wilderness. If we still can't find it, we can wait until Guo'er's cultivation level is improved before going deeper into the wilderness."

Lin Mo replied calmly.
