Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

Chapter 698

Lin Mo was naturally amazed by this.

After all, the Leopard Scaled Beast already possesses a trace of Qilin's true spirit bloodline, and after swallowing the demon pill of the king-level dark beast, it seems reasonable that it can show such amazing changes in its underage stage.

Moreover, the potential of the leopard-scaled beast seems to have not been fully tapped.

Since then, over the past few decades, thanks to Lin Mo's careful cultivation with a large number of precious elixirs, this leopard-scaled beast successfully broke through the bottleneck a few years ago, entered the middle stage of the Refining Void realm, and derived many powerful magical powers.

According to Lin Mo's speculation, ordinary cultivators in the late stage of refining emptiness would find it difficult to compete with it. However, the appearance of the leopard scale beast only showed that it was in the stage of gradual maturity.

This makes Lin Mo full of expectations for the future development potential of the beast.

Now, he felt relieved to release the beast. Unless he encountered a fusion stage or even a saint-level monk, no one could approach this mountain.

Thinking this in his mind, Lin Mo slowly closed his eyes.

After several hours, several giant ape puppets finally completed the development of the cave and walked out of the gate one by one.

Lin Mo opened his eyes and waved his arm lightly. The puppets turned into several balls of green light and disappeared into his sleeves.

Then he straightened his body, turned his palm, and a stack of formation flags instantly appeared in his hand.

He raised his hand, and dozens of colorful spiritual lights rushed in all directions and disappeared into the void in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, countless milky white mist appeared out of nowhere and spread rapidly.

In just a short moment, the entire mountain and everything within a hundred miles around it were shrouded in thick fog, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Seeing this, Lin Mo pinched his fingers with one hand, grabbed the empty air, and with a flash of white light, a round magic disk the size of a palm appeared in his hand.

"ban"

Lin Mo stretched out a finger, tapped lightly on the magic plate, and uttered a low call.

In an instant, thousands of huge silver runes emerged from the mist. After spinning for a moment, they disappeared again.

Only then did Lin Mo retract the magic plate and walked towards the entrance on the stone wall.

As soon as his body entered the portal, he shook his sleeves, and a green stone door fell from the top, closing the portal tightly.

The surface of the stone gate was glowing with light and soon merged with the surrounding stone walls. Even at a close distance, nothing unusual could be detected.

Since the cave was originally opened by Lin Mo who controlled the puppet, he knew the entire cave very well. He went to the medicine garden without hesitation and planted some spiritual medicines.

Then, after setting up several small restrictions inside the cave, he went straight to the secret room.

However, when he saw the stone door of the secret room at a few turns, he suddenly reached out and patted his waist.

A faint white shadow flew out, and immediately a beautiful woman in white appeared in front of him. She was heroic and exuded a faint chill from her whole body.

This woman is the psychic puppet "Doll".

The "doll" at this moment has changed significantly compared to the past. Not only is there a thumb-sized blue bead between its eyebrows.

Almost half of it was embedded in it, and as his eyes moved, his gaze seemed more flexible than before.

This is undoubtedly the magical effect brought by the "glass water bead".

After nearly a hundred years of nourishment, the puppet body of the "doll" became extremely cold, and seemed to be gradually transforming into a real body of Lishui.

Although this transformation was not obvious and it took nearly a hundred years to see any trace, Lin Mo felt very satisfied.

More importantly, the spirituality of the "doll" seems to have been slightly improved in the process.

This was undoubtedly another pleasant surprise.

At that moment, Lin Mo's mind moved, and after giving some simple instructions to the woman, he flashed into the secret room.

He raised his hand and a light yellow cushion flew out.

He sat cross-legged on a cushion, his eyes tightly closed, motionless as if blending into the surroundings. Only a crystal blue light flashed on his face from time to time, flickering and changing.

Lin Mo's meditation this time lasted for three full days and three nights. During this period, he never opened his eyes, as if the whole world had stopped.

However, outside the small mountain range where he lived, there had already been a turbulent situation and constant noise.

Many monks were forcibly expelled by him. Some chose to fly far away, while others took refuge with their close friends in the nearby mountains.

Other cultivators in the neighboring areas soon learned the news and realized that a high-level cultivator with extraordinary strength had suddenly appeared nearby. He had great magical powers and could easily imprison a Nascent Soul stage cultivator with the power of his spiritual consciousness alone. He seemed to be a top master in the Void Refinement stage.

Therefore, these monks were all very worried, fearing that this "senior" would come to them.

However, when they learned that the area where Lin Mo was located had been completely blocked by white fog, they suddenly felt relieved.

Knowing that this high-level being had no intention of invading other areas, it seemed that he really only needed to occupy such a small piece of land.

Although they were still filled with anxiety, at least they no longer had to consider moving from their current cave residence.

On the morning of the fourth day, Lin Mo's body trembled slightly, and the green light on his face suddenly condensed. Then, he slowly opened his eyes.

Two dazzling blue lights flashed and then quickly converged and dissipated.

Lin Mo took a deep breath, as if all his fatigue was swept away.

After three days of rest, he finally restored his mental state and magical powers to their peak, and the fatigue caused by the long journey was gone.

Now, we can finally get down to business.

He thought for a moment with a serious expression, then flipped his hand and an exquisite jade slip suddenly appeared in his hand.

This jade slip is unique. Not only does it emit a faint golden glow, but it also fluctuates in the palm of the hand as if it has life, as if it would break free and fly away if one is not careful.

However, Lin Mo didn't care about it at all. He gently clenched his five fingers, pressed the jade slip against his forehead, and then closed his eyes again.

Time passed by little by little, and before he knew it, several hours had passed. Lin Mo sighed softly and began to move the jade slip on his forehead. Then, he opened his eyes, his face full of thoughtful expression!

This jade slip contains the "Art of Refining the Spirit" which is covered with countless golden characters.

This divine art is divided into three levels. Even if one only gets a glimpse of the basics, it is enough to instantly increase one's spiritual awareness by more than two times.

Such an astonishing growth rate, coupled with Lin Mo's own powerful spiritual awareness that far surpasses that of those at the same level, if he can successfully practice and break through the bottleneck of the fusion stage, it will undoubtedly be able to immediately alleviate most of the troubles, and the effect will even surpass any panacea.

Therefore, when Lin Mo first obtained this scripture, he immediately devoted himself to studying it. Since being teleported to the Thunder Continent, he has started practicing this technique without hesitation.

During his journey back home, which lasted more than a hundred years, in addition to studying other secret techniques, he devoted most of his energy to this technique.

The first level of the art of refining the spirit is neither as difficult as ascending to heaven nor easily achieved.

The reason for this assertion is naturally based on the fact that those who have the conditions for cultivation are rare in this spiritual world. For those who do not meet the conditions, they can hardly practice this mysterious magic successfully. Some people even rashly try, but eventually die because they cannot withstand the powerful backlash and their bodies explode.

However, for Lin Mo, relying on his powerful spiritual power and tough body, it is more than enough to practice the first level of the soul refining technique.

Therefore, after more than a hundred years of practice, Lin Mo has fully comprehended the essence of the first level of the Soul Refining Technique, and has practiced it to the point where only the last step is left to reach perfection.

Since this technique is a secret art of the immortal world written in golden seal characters, according to the records in the scriptures, every time it is cultivated to a certain level and reaches its peak, it will trigger a grand-scale phenomenon of heaven and earth.

Therefore, when he is ready to take the final step, it is best to choose a secluded place to practice, and it is best not to have overly powerful beings around.

Although Lin Mo had almost perfected the first level of the Soul Refining Technique several years ago, he was in a wild land at that time. If he really attracted some powerful ancient beasts, his life safety would be seriously threatened.

Now that he is in the human society and in an extremely remote location, he can naturally practice the first level of the soul-refining technique to perfection without any worries.

As for the sigh he just uttered, it actually stemmed from his deep confusion and challenge about the second level of the soul refining technique. To truly understand and master it is undoubtedly an extremely arduous task, and it would probably be difficult to achieve without hundreds of years of dedicated research.

What's more, the conditions required to practice the second level of the soul-refining technique are so harsh that they are truly jaw-dropping.

He just waved his right hand lightly, and the jade slip on his fingertips disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Then, he took out several jade bottles of different sizes, poured out some pills one by one and swallowed them into his mouth. Then, he flicked his sleeves, and nine round magic weapons shining with silver light began to revolve around his body, and then floated quietly around without moving.

Lin Mo's face was serious, and he was holding an ancient spell in each of his hands. Suddenly, a strong golden light emanated from his body.

A golden shadow with three heads and six arms flashed past behind him.

Although the Brahma Dharmakaya has not yet condensed into a physical golden body, its six arms are each holding a different Dharma seal, and its two faces are clearly visible with their lips slightly open, as if they are silently chanting some kind of mantra.

After a while, solemn Buddhist sounds were heard in the secret room.

At the same time, the golden light on Lin Mo's face continued to flow, and the skin on his body also moved, and pieces of golden scales gradually appeared.

This is clearly the result of the Brahma True Demonic Power being pushed to its limit.

The nine silver discs suspended in the surroundings began to become more and more dazzling with a slight tremor, and emitted a buzzing sound.

This sound echoed with the Sanskrit sounds resonating in the secret room, and they blended together skillfully without any conflict or harshness, as if they were products of the same root and origin.

With two "puff" sounds, a circle of golden halo suddenly appeared behind Lin Mo and Fan Sheng's Dharma image.

The halo behind the Dharma image is obviously larger than the one below, but in terms of solidity, it is far inferior to the halo below.

Lin Mo let out a low hum, and the spell in his hand changed accordingly.

The two golden halos began to spin rapidly, and countless golden runes burst out from the center of the halo, each of which was shining brightly with golden light.

If you look closely, you will find that these runes are all golden seal characters.

As if summoned by the golden seal characters, the nine silver discs also underwent unexpected changes.

Amid a series of intense resonances, runes as big as fists and emitting a silver luster flew out of the round vessel like meteors, and then flew off into the distance like arrows in the golden light.

These silver runes are obviously the legendary silver tadpole script.

In a flash, spiritual texts in gold and silver appeared in the halo at the same time, and their number continued to increase. After a short moment, they covered the entire halo area.

However, a large number of runes still emerged continuously and merged into the halo frantically.

Lin Mo's body did not move at all, but his expressionless face revealed extreme fatigue and exhaustion, and as the runes in the halo continued to increase, this situation became more and more obvious.

After just a short while, Lin Mo's eyes suddenly widened and he let out a deafening roar.

Then, nine silver discs made sharp sounds at the same time, exploded one after another, and turned into countless silver lights that disappeared without a trace in an instant.

At the same time, the golden halo behind Lin Mo began to spin wildly and gradually became blurred, and the gold and silver runes in it also shrank rapidly.

In just a few breaths, thousands of runes turned into the size of rice grains.

The golden halo itself turned into a mysterious fist-sized ball of light that was gleaming with golden light.

Another golden halo in the sky, driven by the Brahma Dharma Image, also transformed into a golden light ball and slowly descended.

Immediately afterwards, there was a flash of light, and the huge Dharma image disappeared in an instant.

At this point, there were only two light balls floating quietly around Lin Mo.

Lin Mo's face was extremely solemn. He stretched out a finger and gently pointed at the two light balls.

After two "whoosh" sounds, two golden light balls instantly disappeared between his eyebrows, leaving no trace.

The next moment, beads of sweat the size of soybeans began to appear on Lin Mo's forehead. His body suddenly swelled, the skin on his limbs began to tremble slightly, and thick muscles bounced out from under his scales.

It seemed that some kind of power was running rampant in Lin Mo's body, making his facial expression full of pain.

After a while, Lin Mo's entire head suddenly flashed with dazzling spiritual light, and was covered by a layer of purple-gold strange light, which sometimes became larger and sometimes smaller, fluctuating unsteadily.
