Shared talent: traveling through the heavens and worlds at the same time

Chapter 220 Revealed
After hearing Han Li's words, Lin Bei said to himself, "As expected." He knew it was this as soon as he guessed it.

As far as Lin Bei knew, Mo Juren was originally a well-known figure in the mortal martial arts world of Lanzhou in the Yue Kingdom in the Tiannan Region. Later, he was severely injured by an immortal cultivator named Yu Zitong. He, who was originally a handsome middle-aged man, was directly transformed into a decrepit old man, and he would not live long.

The reason why Mo Juren accepted Han Li and others as his disciples was to train them and then take over their bodies.

Since possession of bodies in the mortal world is restricted by three iron rules, immortal cultivators cannot possess the bodies of mortals, so Mo Juren provided the Changchun Gong for Han Li and others to practice.

Now seeing that Han Li's cultivation speed was so fast, Mo Juren, who was unaware of the inside story, would naturally think that Han Li's talent was rare in the world.

To some extent, Mo Juren already regarded the bodies of Lin Bei and Han Li as his own property, so it is understandable that he could not control his emotions after knowing this.

Seeing that Han Li had discovered something wrong with Mo Juren as he had expected, Lin Bei was delighted, but on the surface he frowned slightly and said after a moment of hesitation:
"I don't think this is your illusion. To be honest, ever since Doctor Mo accepted us and taught us that unknown technique, I've noticed something.

How should I put it? It feels like the way Master Mo looks at us is not like looking at his disciples, but at some kind of precious item. What is revealed in that look is greed!"

After hearing Lin Bei's words, Han Li's face changed. If Han Li had only some doubts before, now that even Lin Bei said so, his suspicion of Mo Juren immediately reached its highest point.

Han Li frowned and said worriedly:

"Then what should we do? Doctor Mo is more than just a doctor. We can see from the time we've been together that his martial arts skills are not weak. We can't be his opponent.

More importantly, we don’t even know his real purpose now!
After he examined me just now, he just told me to continue practicing hard, strive to break through the fourth level of the technique as soon as possible, and then report to him as soon as possible.

We have no way of judging his thoughts from this alone, so what should we do?"

Seeing that Han Li was already planning how to deal with Mo Juren, Lin Bei sighed inwardly that he was worthy of being the protagonist, but he was too cautious.

But this is naturally a good thing for Lin Bei. He immediately patted his chest and said:

"Don't worry. I've been paying attention to Doctor Mo's purpose since I noticed that there was something wrong with the way he looked at us. Now I have some clues. I believe we'll be able to figure it out soon.

But no matter what, one thing I can be sure of is that the technique he gave us should indeed be a good thing, so we should practice it well.

However, we can no longer tell him our true progress in cultivation. If he asks you to cultivate to the fourth level, tell him, and we can cultivate to the seventh or eighth level in secret first!"

Han Li, who was originally worried, was overjoyed after hearing Lin Bei's words. He felt a lot more at ease and his admiration for Lin Bei deepened!
In Han Li's mind now, Lin Bei is like an omnipotent god. No matter what kind of problem he faces, he can always find a way to solve it in the first time.

"Okay, then I'll leave the rest to you, Lin Bei."

Han Li, who trusted Lin Bei immensely, handed this matter concerning his life to Lin Bei without a second thought, and did not even consider the possibility that Lin Bei and Mo Juren were deceiving him.

After that, Han Li pretended not to notice anything unusual and resumed his normal life. He studied medicine with Mo Juren and cultivated elixirs in the small green bottle.

However, there was one more thing to do every night, which was to take the Huanglong Pill and Jinsui Pill refined by Lin Bei.

With the help of these two precious elixirs, Han Li's strength improved by leaps and bounds after obtaining the subsequent exercises. In just three days, he had reached the second level of Qi training and was almost able to break through to the third level.

And Lin Bei made greater progress with the help of elixirs. In just three days, he had completely broken through to the ninth level of Qi training and was almost able to break through to the tenth level of Qi training to try to build the foundation.

In addition to the improvement in his cultivation, Lin Bei also did not forget what he promised Han Li. In the past two days, he has been trying hard to find clues about Mo Juren's purpose.

Although Lin Bei knew all about Mo Juren's purpose and ideas, he couldn't just tell Han Li without any words. Even if Han Li didn't doubt him, it would be difficult to explain.

When Han Li asks him where he got the information, Lin Bei can't say that he just guessed it.

Therefore, before explaining Mo Juren's purpose to Han Li, Lin Bei must first find some evidence to support what he said.

It just so happens that this is not too difficult for Lin Bei. As far as Lin Bei knows, Mo Juren has a secret room in the Shenshou Valley, and many important things are inside. In the original plot, Mo Juren took over Han Li's body in that secret room.

Although Lin Bei doesn’t know where the secret room is now, it doesn’t matter. He will find it sooner or later as long as he follows Mo Juren.

Anyway, with Lin Bei's current strength, it is impossible for Mo Juren to discover that he is following him.

This was indeed the case. During these three days, Lin Bei would keep an eye on Mo Juren every day, and whenever he saw any signs of him leaving the house, he would follow him a little.

If you find that Mo Juren is walking out of Shenshou Valley, give up. If you find that Mo Juren's destination is somewhere inside the valley, continue to follow him.

However, Mo Juren never went to the secret room during these three days, which made Lin Bei, who had returned empty-handed several times, quite disappointed. Fortunately, three days later, Mo Juren finally went to the secret room, and Lin Bei also found the location of the secret room.

It was a small stone house built against the mountain. The house was not big, but most of it was embedded in the mountain. It was also camouflaged from the outside, so it looked really hidden.

Lin Bei waited outside the secret room for a long time, until Mo Juren came out of the secret room and left, then he quietly sneaked into the secret room.

The area inside the secret room looked much larger than the outside. There were quite a few bookshelves filled with some scrolls. Lin Bei took a quick look and found that they were all Mo Juren's notes on researching poisons and martial arts, as well as some poison formulas that Mo Juren had researched himself.

These things would be nice if they were left outside, but they were of no use to Lin Bei. No longer focusing on these things, Lin Bei used his spiritual sense, which had become much stronger, to search carefully in the secret room.

Soon, Lin Bei discovered a secret compartment on the bookshelf in the secret room. Although the hidden mechanism of the secret compartment was quite ingeniously designed, Lin Bei, with his spiritual sense in hand, still easily found a way to open it.

After opening the secret compartment, Lin Bei took out all the things inside. There were not many things, just a few things, a book, a scroll, and a few bottles of pills, poisons and the like.

Lin Bei directly skipped the bottles of elixirs. After all, it was obvious that the elixirs that Mo Juren had were not good stuff. Lin Bei directly picked up the book and scroll and started reading. After just a glance, Lin Bei knew that he had found the right thing.

That book contains the contents of Changchun Gong, but it only contains the first eight levels of Changchun Gong and some accompanying small spells.

The Changchun Gong technique is of no use to Lin Bei now, but the few small spells that come with it still surprise Lin Bei.

After all, Lin Bei now only has the magical power of the ninth level of Qi training, but he has no method of application suitable for this world. Lin Bei has been troubled by this for a long time.

There are five types of spells in total, namely fire bomb spell, calming talisman, wind control spell, object control spell, and heavenly eye spell.

Among them, Fireball is an attack spell, Calming Talisman is a control spell, and the remaining three are purely auxiliary spells.

Although they were all the most basic spells for cultivators, Lin Bei was still very surprised. He read them several times to make sure he had memorized them all before looking at the next item.

However, what was recorded in the remaining scroll was not the method of possessing another's body as Lin Bei had expected, but a spell of refining corpses. Judging from the records on the scroll, it seemed that Mo Juren figured it out on his own by referring to the corpse-controlling techniques in the immortal world.

This is the same technology that was used in the original plot to turn Zhang Tie into a soulless and mindless puppet.

This made Lin Bei a little disappointed. After all, although this technology was evil, it seemed to have little to do with Lin Bei and his team.

Unwilling to give up, Lin Bei searched the secret room carefully again, and found that he was overthinking it. Mo Juren actually didn't hide the clues about the possession of others' bodies at all, but kept them there together with Mo Juren's research notes.

It was a spell called Soul Devouring Magic, which required a formation to be used. Although the research notes did not directly say that it was used to possess another's body, Lin Bei naturally knew what this spell was used for.

After finding what he needed, Lin Bei did not waste any more time. He took the Changchun Gong, the scroll and Mo Juren's research notes, left Mo Juren's secret room and returned to Shenshou Valley.

Afterwards, Lin Bei pulled Han Li and Zhang Tie out together and handed the three things to them to look at.

After seeing Lin Bei's serious expression, Han Li realized that the investigation that Lin Bei had mentioned before might have produced some results. He couldn't wait to take the three books that Lin Bei handed over and began to read them.

Zhang Tie was completely unaware of Mo Juren's problem, and Lin Bei and Han Li had not discussed the matter with him, so he was confused after seeing Lin Bei's actions.

He took the scroll that Lin Bei handed over, but did not open it to take a look. Instead, he asked with some doubt:
"Lin Bei, what is this? Why do we have to come here in secret to see this thing?"

Lin Bei explained with a serious expression:

"Zhang Tie, you are a bit slow in this regard and may not have noticed. Some time ago, Han Li and I both found that there seemed to be something wrong with Mo Lao's attitude towards us, so I have been trying to find a way to investigate him these past two days.

Just today, I discovered that Mr. Mo had a secret room in a hidden place in Shenshou Valley. I found a way to sneak in and take a look when Mr. Mo was not around, and then I discovered these things.

The scroll in your hand records a secret technique called Human Puppetry, which can use the body of a martial artist to create an unconscious human puppet for control.

The best material for refining human puppets is a living person who has practiced horizontal martial arts, such as the elephant armor skill."

After hearing Lin Bei's last three words, Zhang Tie's face showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost. He threw the scroll in his hand away in panic, as if it was something extremely scary, with fear on his face.

The reason why Zhang Tie had such a big reaction was that two days ago, Han Li told Mo Juren that he had practiced the first level of Changchun Gong. Mo Juren then passed on another martial art to Zhang Tie on the grounds that Zhang Tie was not suitable for practicing Changchun Gong - that is, the Elephant Armor Gong that Lin Bei just mentioned!
Originally, Zhang Tie had no doubts about this. After all, he was the only one among the three who had made no progress in practicing Changchun Gong. It was understandable that Mo Juren asked him to change to other techniques.

But now Lin Bei had explained it so clearly, no matter how slow and honest Zhang Tie was, he had already realized that something was wrong and had vaguely guessed something.

Zhang Tie, who originally thought that it was a good thing for Master Mo to let him practice other martial arts, suddenly learned this cruel truth and was completely unable to accept it for a while.

Lin Bei did not disturb him at this time, but let Zhang Tie digest it slowly by himself.

At this time, Han Li had roughly finished reading the two books in his hand. However, after reading them, Han Li was as confused as Zhang Tie just now:

"Lin Bei, is this the follow-up to Changchun Gong? There is also a spell called Soul Devouring Technique? What is it used for?"

Facing Han Li's question, Lin Bei also patiently answered:

"I found both of these things in that secret room. According to the information in the secret room, the Changchun Gong we practice is not a martial arts technique, but a method of cultivating immortals!

This kind of skill can only be practiced by people with spiritual roots, and these people are called immortal cultivators.

These immortal cultivators possess all kinds of incredible methods, such as various spells, and one of them is called possession of another's body!

Possession means using the immortal cultivator's own soul to occupy the body of another person, so as to gain rebirth!
According to my deduction, the reason why Doctor Mo accepted us as his disciples and trained us was probably to possess one of us, and the Soul Devouring Technique was a spell used to possess one of us."

After hearing Lin Bei's words, Han Li's face also turned pale. He tightly grasped the book in his hands with both hands, and his eyes were full of fear.

Even though Han Li no longer had the common sense of cultivating immortals at this time, after listening to Lin Bei's introduction, he immediately realized that the fate of the person whose body was possessed would probably not be much better than that of the human puppet created by the human puppet technique!
It's the same as death.

It would be even more miserable to be possessed by another person. Han Li couldn't help but tremble with fear at the thought that there would be another person living in this world with his body and face.

After a while, Han Li seemed to have made up his mind and said to Lin Bei with a fierce look:

"Lin Bei, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We must find a way to take the initiative and get rid of Doctor Mo!"
