Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

It turned out that the girl in the yellow robe was the Saint of the Qi Ling Clan who had appeared at the Wanbaoping auction that day.

The Lin family's supreme elder had participated in this auction before, so he was able to recognize the Spirit Race's Thousand-Year Saint at a glance.

At this time, the monks sitting in the hall had different expressions. Some looked astonished, some frowned, but only the monk named Hui had a normal expression without any ripples.

"Fellow Daoists, there is no need to panic. Saint Qianqiu has come to solve the major problem we are facing."

"Without her help, this matter would not have been possible."

The ancestor of the Long family replied in a calm tone.

However, the atmosphere in the hall did not ease as a result, and Lin Mo remained vigilant.

The smile of the girl in feathered robe disappeared in an instant, and the man with untied hair snorted coldly and looked at the girl in yellow robe with hostility in his eyes.

"My fellow Taoists, don't be too reserved with me, even though I am a member of the Qi Ling Clan."

"But tracing back to the origin, my true body was transformed from the treasure that Master Cantian of your family once carried with him."

"Many years after the death of Master Cantian, I was lucky enough to awaken my spiritual wisdom and become a member of the Qi Spirit Clan."

The girl in yellow robe bowed gracefully to everyone present and spoke in a dignified manner.

"Master Cantian? Could he be the Mahayana master who founded Abyss City in ancient times?"

The girl in feathered clothes was stunned when she heard this, and then said with a look of surprise on her face.

The yellow-robed girl smiled and nodded, adding, "It is this person. Otherwise, how could he become an envoy of the Eldar Alliance and be sent to your family?"

"When did the human race form an alliance with your tribe? How did this happen without our knowledge?"

The man with long hair was quite confused and bewildered by this.

The Saint Qianqiu patiently answered:

"In fact, the alliance was reached through negotiation and signing of an agreement with your family's Tianyuan Saint Emperor, Xuanwu Overlord Emperor, and several late Mahayana cultivators on your family's Holy Island."

"But for many other reasons, the specific announcement date will take several years."

"When the time comes, you will understand that what I said is true."

"Since Your Excellency is able to show up at the Wanbao Conference, then it is inevitable that you will form an alliance with the Eldar sooner or later."

"However, it seems a bit reckless for Brother Long to bring the Saint Girl into the Valley of Ten Thousand Spirits."

"This place was originally the venue for our major families to hold grand ceremonies!"

The feathered girl's expression was still gloomy, and there was a hint of blame in her tone.

The ancestor of the Long family responded calmly:
"Please rest assured, Fairy Ye. Daoist Fellow Qianqiu only set foot in the Valley of Ten Thousand Spirits after the grand ceremony."

"After discussing important matters with us tonight, he will leave immediately and will not cause any unexpected events."

Seeing the attitude of the Long family's ancestor, the girl in feathered clothes was obviously quite satisfied with this statement, so she sighed softly and said:

"Since Brother Long has given such a promise, I will believe it for the time being. Could you please tell me about the important matters that are about to be announced?"

Hearing this, the man with disheveled hair looked uncertain for a moment, then he sat back down with a slightly relaxed look, as if he had accepted the explanation.

After gaining the understanding of the man with untied hair, the ancestor of the Long family went on to introduce the next important plan.

"This matter is actually simple and clear! The reason why I invited all of you fellow Taoists to gather here is because I hope that after the demonic disaster breaks out."

"When the ancient demon world and the spirit world merge into one, we will be able to explore the demon world!"

"Crossing the border of the demon world! Old Monster Long, have you made a mistake in your soul?"

"Even if you really want to seek an end, why do you have to sacrifice our innocent lives!"

The man with long flying hair asked angrily.

However, when the feathered girl heard this question, she seemed to recall some past events, and her face became gloomy and uncertain.

Lin Mo gently stroked his chin, also revealing a hint of surprise and confusion.

"Brother Lin, there is no need to get too excited. I have made such a suggestion after careful consideration."

"There is at least a 70% to 80% chance that we can return safely. How could I joke about my own life?"

The old man from the Long family answered calmly.

“Even so! What a terrifying existence the Saint Ancestor of the Demon Realm is. If we encounter him, I’m afraid even survival will be a problem.”

"What's more, there are countless high-level ancient demons in the demon world."

"In the human world, we can still rely on the power of the magic circle to fight against it, but once we go deep into it, how can we guarantee our own safety?"

The long-haired man stared at the old man from the Long family, questioning him mercilessly.

"If I tell you, there is a way to temporarily transform our aura into being indistinguishable from that of an ordinary ancient demon."

"Even the ancient demon in the fusion stage can't detect it, so what do you think about this, Brother Lin?"

The old man from the Long family narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.

"There is such a thing! Brother Long, are you kidding me?"

"Those high-level ancient demons in the demon world possess all kinds of incredible magical powers. How can we deceive their eyes?"

The girl in feathered clothing frowned, but couldn't help but interrupt.

After hearing this, the old man from the Long family smiled slightly, then turned to Saint Qianqiu and said:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, can you perform this skill again?"

"of course can."

The yellow-robed girl smiled gracefully, flipped her palm lightly, and a thumb-sized black round bead appeared in her hand.

She opened her mouth and swallowed the bead into her stomach.

Immediately afterwards, Saint Qianqiu pinched her hands and a thick black mist immediately appeared on her body, instantly covering her figure completely.

The black mist continued to swirl, sometimes turning into tentacle-like forms and flying around.

Sometimes it spins very fast, as if it were a living thing.

"True devil energy!"

Lin Mo just took a glance, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he muttered to himself in a low voice.

Although his voice was almost inaudible, it was clearly audible to everyone in the hall who was familiar with the magic.

Hearing the reactions of the long-haired man and the feathered girl, the old man from the Long family looked at Lin Mo deeply, then said:

"Friend Lin was able to identify the true devil's aura at a glance, which shows that you must have practiced some top-level magic skills."

"In addition, the golden body you showed before is quite similar to the true body of a certain ancient demon in the demon world. This undoubtedly solved some mysteries in my heart." "Brother Long really has a keen eye."

Lin Mo did not admit or deny anything, but just smiled indifferently.

When the other people present heard the conversation between the two, their expressions naturally varied.

At this moment, a delicate cry from Saint Qianqiu was heard from the black evil energy.

The true devil energy then surged towards the center crazily, and in the blink of an eye it turned into drops of black liquid, all of which were forcefully sucked into her body.

When the fog gradually dissipated, the figure of the girl in yellow robe reappeared.

However, when Lin Mo and others observed carefully, they couldn't help but reveal a hint of curiosity.

However, under the surprised gazes of everyone present, the girl in yellow robe smiled gently.

Then her aura suddenly changed, and a shocking demonic energy that soared into the sky instantly burst out from her body.

At the same time, several inky black magic patterns appeared on the cheek that was originally as smooth as jade without any warning.

And between her eyebrows there was a light, and a dark round gem appeared.

Although this bead was only embedded in the girl's brow, its deep black luster was obviously the same bead that the yellow-robed girl had swallowed before.

Lin Mo's eyes flashed a few times, and then his mind covered the mysterious girl without hesitation.

After a short moment, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Both the girl's body and the magic power flowing in her body were filled with extremely pure demonic energy at this moment.

The aura she exuded was exactly the same as that of the ancient demons he encountered in the human world.

However, Lin Mo felt somewhat shocked. After the man with untied hair and the girl in feathered clothes observed carefully with their divine sense, they also showed shocked expressions on their faces.

"It is indeed very strange, and looks almost like an ancient demon."

"However, we are not demons. Perhaps there are some flaws that we cannot detect, but for real demons..."

The girl in feathered robe pondered for a moment and spoke while still maintaining a high level of vigilance.

“Please rest assured, Fairy Ye, the fake magic bead I am using is actually made from the magic core of a deceased ancient demon.”

“As long as you use the corresponding secret technique to integrate it into your body and expel the true demonic energy hidden within, even high-level ancient demons will find it difficult to detect.”

"In order to verify the actual effect of this bead, after taking it, I even imprisoned several ancient demons captured by our spirit race during the invasion of the demon world for several months."

"Those ancient demons who were imprisoned never discovered my true identity."

"Of course, when facing Saint Ancestor-level demons or certain demons with special magical powers, we still need to remain vigilant."

"However, in the vast demon world, the possibility of us encountering such beings is extremely small."

"According to legend, the ancient demon world is not even inferior to the size of our spiritual world."

The yellow-robed girl explained seriously.

After hearing the words of the yellow-robed girl, Lin Mo and others fell into deep thought.

"Well, even if this method is indeed feasible, it is still extremely dangerous for us to venture deep into the demon world."

"Would you three like to share the story behind this?"

"If, as Brother Long said, it can indeed provide us with an opportunity to advance to the Mahayana realm, even if this move is extremely outrageous, I am not incapable of considering it."

The girl in feathered robe sighed deeply and asked with a gleam in her eyes.

When the girl in feathered robe mentioned the Mahayana realm, the man with untied hair, who was originally filled with anger, was stunned at first, then his face turned gloomy and he fell silent again.

"If it weren't for the possibility of being promoted to a higher level, do you think I would join forces with the Saint and risk my life?"

"Regarding the two things of the Soul Cleansing Pond and the Soul Purifying Lotus, have you three Daoists heard of them?"

The ancestor of the Long family sneered and said two names.

"Spirit Cleansing Pond, Spirit Purifying Lotus?"

Both the man with untied hair and Lin Mo looked at each other with puzzled expressions after hearing these two names.

However, the expression of the girl in feathered clothes changed slightly. She stared at the ancestor of the Long family closely, with a strange light flashing in her eyes.

"Haha, it seems that Fairy Ye should have understood something."

"This is not surprising. Fairy was once Senior Mo's registered disciple, so it is only natural for her to know this matter."

The cultivator named Hui who was sitting next to the ancestor of the Long family suddenly smiled strangely and spoke.

"Hey, I don't have the guts to speculate."

"However, Senior Mo must have been deep into the Demon Realm many times, so he should be used to the existence of the Soul Cleansing Pool and the Soul Purifying Lotus in the Demon Realm."

Elder Hui's words were calm and peaceful, without any disrespect towards the only Mahayana realm being of the human race.

"The two items you mentioned have nothing to do with my master. They were learned by our ancestor of the Ye family from the residual soul of a high-level ancient demon who was defeated during a powerful demonic calamity."

"However, this information is quite vague. We only know that these two treasures are useless to the demons, but for our spiritual races, they have profound and mysterious power."

The girl in feathered robe continued to speak in a cold voice.

"So that's how it is. In that case, I am indeed being presumptuous." Elder Hui said with a smile, his tone inevitably filled with confusion and uneasiness.

After hearing the words of the girl in feathered clothes, the ancestor of the Long family showed a thoughtful look between his brows. However, at this moment, the Saint Maiden Qianqiu smiled slightly and said calmly:
"Although the three Taoist friends are not familiar with the Soul Cleansing Pond and the Soul Purifying Lotus, if I mention the names of the 'Immortal Transformation Pond' and the 'Seven Apertures One Qi Lotus', you should no longer feel unfamiliar with them, right?"

"It turns out to be like this, are they the same kind of items?"

"Absolutely impossible. The Immortal Transformation Pond can only be found in the True Immortal Realm. According to legend, only the newly ascended immortals have the honor of washing their mortal bodies here and reshaping their spiritual immortal bodies."

"As for the Seven Apertures One Qi Lotus, it is a companion to the Immortal Transformation Pond. It is a spiritual object of heaven and earth that has the effect of enhancing the wisdom of spiritual roots."

"It is said that even if a stupid person swallows this, his seven orifices will be opened instantly and he will become extremely smart."

The man with untied hair exclaimed, then shook his head repeatedly with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Lin Mo had naturally heard of these divine objects that only existed in legends, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

His eyes were as focused as torches, staring closely at the face of Saint Qianqiu, trying to discern the truth of what she said.

However, the girl in feathered clothes looked even colder and she said nothing.

"The Immortal Transformation Pond and the Seven-aperture One-qi Lotus are extremely rare even in the True Immortal Realm. The conditions for their formation are extremely harsh. It is not easy for them to appear after so many years."

"Therefore, it is impossible that it is the same thing as the one described by me."

"However, although the former is far less effective than the latter, it is enough to transform us and make us wiser."

"Because before the Immortal Transformation Pond and the Seven Apertures One Qi Lotus were formed, they were gradually advanced from the Spirit Cleansing Pond and the Spirit Purifying Lotus." (End of this chapter)
