Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

"Didn't Fellow Daoist Jin also improve his cultivation rapidly during his training?"

Lin Mo glanced at Jin Yue, smiling calmly, but answered immediately.

When Lin Mo rejected him without reservation, Jin Yue's expression couldn't help but turn gloomy.

After the sharp light in her eyes flickered, she asked in a low voice:
"Since Fellow Daoist Lin is unwilling to discuss the details, I will respect that."

“However, Fellow Daoist Lin has transformed into a giant roc and revealed himself outside the Holy City with astonishing momentum. I believe there must be a reason for this.”

"Could it be that you, Daoist friend, have achieved great magical powers and want to demonstrate your strength to our clan?"

When the woman spoke the last few words, her tone had become extremely cold.

The other elders present also looked at Lin Mo with gradually unfriendly eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, what do you think of the Sky Peng I just transformed into?"

Faced with this situation, Lin Mo was not panicked, but laughed instead.

"Humph, Daoist friend's transformation technique is indeed amazing. As a foreigner, he was able to refine Kunpeng's true blood to this level. This is enough to show that Daoist friend has great magical powers."

When Jin Yue heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across her face, but she still responded with a sneer.

"Is that really the case? Is this all that Fellow Daoist Jin is thinking about?"

Lin Mo sneered, with a weird expression on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, what do you mean by that? Just say whatever you want to say. Why bother pretending to be so profound?"

Jin Yue's expression changed slightly, but her eyes narrowed immediately and she said coldly.

When Old Man Xu and others heard this, they couldn't help but feel confused and had puzzled expressions on their faces.

The corners of Lin Mo's mouth rose slightly, revealing an expression that seemed like a smile. He did not respond to the woman's words, but directly raised his right hand.

With a slight flip, a bamboo slip as white as jade appeared in the palm of his hand in an instant. Then he shook his wrist and threw it out.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, what does this mean?"

The woman in white subconsciously reached out to take the bamboo slips, but her brows were furrowed and she asked in confusion.

"Don't worry, Great Elder. If you have any questions, it's not too late to make a decision after you read the contents of the brief."

Lin Mo answered calmly.

Jin Yue's expression was still ugly, but after glancing at the thing in his hand.

After a little thought, he finally placed the bamboo slip on his forehead and injected a sense of spiritual consciousness into it.

"Huh? This is..."

In just a moment, the woman was so surprised that she screamed out.

This scene caused everyone in the hall, except Lin Mo, to start whispering and talking.

After exclaiming, Jin Yue's face was filled with joy. It seemed that he had no time to care about other matters and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the study of the bamboo slips.

Lin Mo looked at the scene in front of him, smiled slightly, raised the spiritual tea on the table again, and savored it leisurely.

Thus, under the gazes of everyone in the hall with different expressions, time passed quietly for a meal.

At this time, Jin Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief and took off the bamboo slips that were stuck to his forehead.

Then he looked at Lin Mo again with a very complicated look, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said:
"Where did Fellow Daoist Lin obtain this technique?"

"Please forgive me for being blunt, but this technique definitely did not come from you."

"Although this technique is extremely mysterious, it is obviously tailor-made for our Tianpeng clan."

"Fellow Daoist Jin is indeed a man of great vision. He saw through the mystery of this technique at a glance."

"However, who created this technique is actually no longer that important."

"What makes me happy is that you understand the importance of this secret to your family."

Lin Mo answered with a smile, as if he had foreseen this question.

"Your Excellency gave us this half of the secret, perhaps not just for us to appreciate."

"Your Excellency, please state directly the purpose of your visit to our Tianpeng Family this time."

Jin Yue's eyes flashed with strange light, and his body suddenly released an extremely strong spiritual pressure, and he questioned Lin Mo coldly.

"Haha, since Fellow Daoist Jin has mentioned this, I will certainly obey."

"However, this matter is extremely important to me, so please discuss it with me in detail."

After Lin Mo laughed, he glanced at the other members of the Tianpeng family and said seriously.

"Okay, then let's do as you say! Elder Xu, Elder Qing, please step aside for a while."

"I will come to the scene after Fellow Daoist Lin and I have discussed this matter."

Jin Yue agreed without hesitation and gave orders to everyone.

This woman obviously attaches great importance to the secret recorded in the jade slip!

"Yes, then Xu will take his leave first!"

"Great Elder, I will wait outside the hall for a while."

……

Although the other members of the Tianpeng family felt extremely dissatisfied, they could not disobey Jin Yue's order and could only stand up and leave respectfully.

In just a short moment, Lin Mo and the woman in white were the only two people left in the hall.

"If you have any secrets, please feel free to speak up."

Jin Yue said with a slightly relieved expression.

Lin Mo did not respond immediately, but suddenly waved his sleeves, spraying out more than ten colorful flags in all directions.

These small flags instantly glowed with colorful colors, blending into the surrounding space and disappearing without a trace.

Immediately afterwards, a layer of five-colored light curtain slowly emerged, tightly wrapping Lin Mo and her.

"Could it be that with this servant present, Brother Lin is still worried that others might spy on him?"

Jin Yue suddenly became alert, but after careful observation, she found that the light curtain was just a simple soundproofing barrier.

So he relaxed his mind, but a hint of displeasure still appeared on his face.

"Please don't blame me, Fellow Daoist Jin. This matter is of great importance. I have to be more cautious."

Lin Mo responded in an extremely cautious manner.

"Then I'll leave it to you, fellow Daoist. But before we discuss in detail, I still need to confirm one thing."

"Is the other half of this technique also in your hands?"

Jin Yue frowned slightly and suddenly raised the jade slip in his hand to ask.

"Haha, the Great Elder can rest assured about this matter."

"If I didn't have the complete technique in my hands, how could I dare to discuss this deal with your family?"

Lin Mo answered without hesitation.

"Okay, as long as it's true."

"So what kind of agreement do you hope to reach with my Tianpeng family with the deal you proposed?"

Jin Yue let out a breath and asked in a relaxed tone.

"I plan to go deep into the abyss. I beg your family to help me complete this journey!"

"This unique refining technique for refining the blood of Sky Peng is the reward for my trip." This time, Lin Mo did not hesitate at all. He looked at the woman in white with firm eyes and stated his request solemnly.

"Heading to the depths of the abyss?"

Hearing Jin Yue's words, Lin Mo's heart suddenly tightened.

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Jin thinks this condition is too harsh?"

"The Earth Abyss has indeed been occupied by the Feiling Clan. Daoist friend, you only need to send me in. It should be an easy task."

Lin Mo asked calmly.

"If it was a hundred years ago, there would be nothing wrong with what you said, and it would not be difficult to lead others into the depths of the abyss."

“But today, the situation is quite tricky.”

Jin Yue subconsciously touched the jade slip in her hand lightly, then shook her head helplessly.

"Oh, what is the reason for this?" Lin Mo asked in surprise.

"The reason is actually very simple. A hundred years ago, someone accidentally discovered an extremely hidden and precious mineral vein in the deepest part of the abyss."

"This mineral vein is vital to all of our races, and the reserves are huge."

"In order to prevent a certain race from privately mining, the entire abyss is currently in a semi-closed state."

"Especially the layer where the mineral vein is located. Apart from the guards, even the elders of each tribe find it difficult to enter and exit at will."

After a brief hesitation, Jin Yue explained in detail.

"The deepest part? I never mentioned going that deep. I only need to reach the third layer of the abyss."

Hearing this, Lin Mo's expression instantly relaxed and he replied with a smile.

"If it doesn't involve deep issues, then there is room for negotiation."

"But, if you really want to complete this deal, please reveal part of your true purpose for entering the Abyss."

"After all, the Earth Abyss is the core area of ​​the Feiling Clan, and there may be unknown secrets hidden in it."

"Fellow Daoist, you don't think that I would bring a foreigner in here for no reason, do you?"

"Even if your spell is vital to the Tianpeng tribe, I cannot make such an unwise decision."

The woman stared at Lin Mo closely and spoke word by word.

After hearing what the other party said, Lin Mo showed a thoughtful look on his face, but soon after, he sighed softly and said:

"I understand your concerns, Fellow Daoist Jin. However, please rest assured, Great Elder. The reason why I want to go to the third floor of the Earth Abyss is because of this."

"It's just because I have an agreement with a senior. I need to use this coordinate to be led into another space where this senior lives in seclusion."

"It has absolutely nothing to do with the Feiling tribe, let alone causing any harm to them."

"As for the more specific situation, I'm sorry I can't elaborate."

“Another space! Fellow Daoist Lin, you are already a cultivator in the middle stage of the Saint Rank. The person whom you respectfully address as a senior could be…” Jin Yue’s expression suddenly changed drastically.

"It's good for the Great Elder to know. This senior has a close relationship with our human race."

“I was able to escape from the four demon kings thanks to the help of this senior.”

"This return to this place is also the request of this senior."

"If we really encounter obstacles and cannot meet, I am afraid that this senior will be dissatisfied and may even resent your family."

Lin Mo's eyes flickered as he spoke meaningfully.

"You are threatening me!" Jin Yue's expression became increasingly ugly.

"I don't deserve the threat. It's just that this senior has been in seclusion for many years, and my visit is indeed very important to him."

"I'm sure Fellow Daoist Jin doesn't want the Feiling Clan to create such a powerful enemy for no reason!"

Lin Mo raised the corner of his mouth slightly and responded with a smile.

"Hmph, even so, how can I know if what you say is true?"

Jin Yue's expression changed constantly, and finally he sneered.

"It is not difficult to solve this problem. My respected fellow Taoist only needs to go to the third floor of the Earth Abyss and witness the entire process of my departure, and there will be no doubts."

"If you still have doubts at that time, you can decisively capture Lin."

"With your profound cultivation at the late stage, it should be easy for you to stop a mere mid-stage cultivator like me."

"However, if you still feel uneasy, you can bring more companions with you. I have no objection to this."

Lin Mo answered without hesitation.

"This method is indeed feasible. However, I still have concerns in my mind."

"Your magical powers were already extraordinary in the past, and now you have been promoted to the middle stage of the Saint Rank. If there is something wrong, I may not be able to stop it completely."

There was a strange light in Jin Yue's eyes, but she remained alert.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, what you said is really unbelievable. I am willing to teach the noble the magic formula you need."

"Combined with the nobles' transformation technique, it is enough to increase the power of Tianpeng's transformation by nearly half."

"Once the nobles obtain this magic formula, it is expected that within a thousand years, the Tianpeng clan will be able to become a powerful race among the Feiling clans."

"Brother Jin expects to obtain it with zero risk. Isn't that too much of a joke?"

Lin Mo said with a hint of sarcasm.

Hearing Lin Mo's remarks, Jin Yue's expression changed slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, you'd better give up other thoughts. You should understand that since I came here alone, I will naturally not be afraid of the nobles taking other actions."

“As for the second half of the spell, I did not copy it into a jade slip, but memorized it in my spiritual consciousness.”

"If you try to obtain it through other means, I can completely destroy this spell with just a thought."

"Besides, whether the nobles are really capable of keeping Lin still needs to be considered."

Lin Mo suddenly sneered.

"You are overly worried. You have been very kind to our clan. How could I have such thoughts?"

"Well, since you only need to escort me to the third level of the Earth Abyss, I will definitely try to accomplish it."

"However, if this matter is to be properly handled, you will need to wait patiently for a while. You may wish to stay in the Holy City temporarily."

Jin Yue pondered for a long time, and finally took a deep breath and agreed.

"Very good, Great Elder, this is a wise move. However, I plan to use this free time to practice a secret technique, so it is inconvenient for me to stay in the Holy City."

"I will come to visit you again in half a month. I believe that by then, you will have arranged everything properly."

Seeing that the other party had finally made a decision, Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh, then stood up and said goodbye.

Although he knew that the other party did not trust him, Jin Yue could only sigh helplessly and said with a wry smile:
"Since you insist, I will not try to persuade you to stay. But please stay for a while!"

"Someone, quickly bring me the spiritual tea I want!"

She suddenly used her magical power to send a message outside the hall.

Not long after, a maid hurried into the hall, holding a light yellow leather bag in both hands and respectfully handed it to Lin Mo.

"In that case, Lin will no longer be polite!"

Lin Mo did not refuse. With a wave of his sleeves, a golden glow passed by and the leather bag disappeared without a trace. (End of this chapter)
