Mortal: I can unlock the card pool by becoming an apprentice to him.

"Wow, both young masters are busy? You're so diligent even without Doctor Mo. I truly admire you."

Li Feiyu stood on the edge of the field with his arms crossed, watching Han Li and Zhang Tie sweating profusely, and couldn't help but sneer.

"I say, Young Master Li, if you have nothing better to do, it would be better to come and help loosen the soil than to stand there and make sarcastic remarks."

Han Li put down the hoe, wiped the sweat from his brow, and said irritably.

"Forget it, I'm not cut out for delicate work like dealing with mud and herbs."

Li Feiyu crossed his arms and took a half step back, glancing at the medicinal seedlings scattered on the ground. Just as he was about to make a few more jokes, someone gently patted his shoulder.

He turned around abruptly and saw Lin Mo standing behind him. The playful expression on his face immediately faded, and he awkwardly scratched his head, saying, "When did you get here...?"

In the world of martial arts, being approached silently is a major taboo.

"This guy is like a ghost, not making a sound at all. It's getting more and more incomprehensible to him."

Lin Mo's gaze fell on his face, and he calmly asked, "Have you mastered any techniques from the 'Fire-Igniting Technique' I gave you a few days ago?"

"The technique to ignite a fire?"

At this point, Li Feiyu's embarrassment deepened. He rubbed his hands together and moved closer to the edge of the field, saying dismissively, "I practiced with your thing, but I didn't feel anything. However..."

He abruptly changed the subject, a glint of light suddenly appearing in his eyes.

"Zhang Tie's 'Elephant Armor Kung Fu' is really good! Although it was a bit painful to practice, in just a few days, I feel that my strength has increased by 20% compared to before."

It seems that Li Feiyu indeed has no spiritual root.

Lin Mo thought to himself.

As for the elephant armor technique...

Strictly speaking, this technique is not a body-refining martial art, but a puppet-making secret technique that Yu Zitong gave to Doctor Mo in order to gain his trust. It is a standard unorthodox method.

However, now that Doctor Mo is no longer here, if this technique can change Li Feiyu's fate, then it won't be a complete waste.

"I almost forgot, I've come here today to announce something very important."

Suddenly remembering something, Li Feiyu cleared his throat and said smugly, "Because of my extraordinary physique, I am a martial arts prodigy, one in a million. I have now been formally accepted as a disciple by Protector Tian. Let's go, everyone, it's my treat today, let's go to..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the smugness on his face froze instantly, and he subconsciously turned his head to look to his side.

Lin Mo, who had just been standing there listening with a smile, had suddenly disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, a perfectly healthy person vanished into thin air, leaving Li Feiyu momentarily bewildered and uncertain.

He subconsciously raised his hand and touched the air.

"Where is he... Hey, Han Li, Zhang Tie, where's your Senior Brother Lin? He's nowhere to be found!"

"What? Senior Brother? Did he just arrive?"

Han Li blinked, his hands continuing their work, but his tone was filled with deep doubt.

"Holy crap, this is unbelievable!"

Upon hearing this, Li Feiyu's face turned pale, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

Seeing the goosebumps on his scalp, Zhang Tie in the field couldn't help but chuckle sheepishly. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he explained, "Senior Brother Li, you've been like this lately, appearing and disappearing like a ghost. You'll get used to it."

"Phew, I knew it! You scared me! You dare to lie to me, you surnamed Han? Take this!"

After saying that, he raised his fist and ran towards Han Li in the field.

"Brother Tie, help! Someone's trying to kill me to cover it up..."

Han Li cried out in surprise and dropped his hoe, quickly dodging Zhang Tie. The two chased and fled, making a ruckus on the ridges of the field.

Laughter and cheers filled the Valley of the Divine Hands...

"We can fuse the remaining two cards today."

The main room that originally belonged to Doctor Mo has now become Lin Mo's private quiet room.

He stared at the scroll in front of him, and with a thought, he activated the fusion function.

[Acquire Card: Silver Demon Hand]

[Quality: Blue]

[Evolved from the Demon Silver Hand's transformation into a mortal form, after learning its manifestation, one can harness internal spiritual power to condense a giant hand and strike through the air.]

[Is it manifest?]

Wait a minute, does this name have to be so perfunctory?

It's easy for people to overthink, isn't it?

Although no one shouts out the names of their moves during a duel, it's still incredibly embarrassing.

Lin Mo looked disgusted, and although he verbally resisted, he quickly chose to [Concrete].

The next moment, a cool and pure stream of information rushed into my mind.

A moment later, he continued to fuse the cards.

[Acquire Card: Vajra Exorcising Talisman]

[Quality: Purple]

[After use, it can conjure a Vajra Shield to protect oneself. The shield has a warding-off effect and will reflect a certain degree of damage when attacked by magic.]

[Is it manifest?]

It actually became a purple card!

Looking at the mesmerizing purple light that was pulsating out, Lin Mo suddenly felt his mouth go dry.

Although this talisman, after its advancement, is still a consumable item like other talisman treasures, its effects after fusion and upgrade far exceed the sum of the previous three, judging from its grade and description.

"Reveal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a yellowish-purple talisman appeared in Lin Mo's hand.

The talisman paper was gleaming with gold, covered with dark gold characters and patterns; its quality alone indicated it was extraordinary.

"I have everything I need now."

Lin Mo is not a greedy person.

He carefully put the talisman close to his body, suppressing his excitement, and sat cross-legged to concentrate on his cultivation.

As wisps of spiritual energy slowly gathered around him, the restlessness caused by his previous gains subsided completely.

Inside the room, only the calm, long breathing sounds remained.

In the following days, Lin Mo and the other two devoted almost all their time to cultivation, apart from planting herbs.

In addition, the book left by Doctor Mo clearly records several rare and precious medicinal herbs that are hard to find in the world.

"Huanglong Dan", "Qingling San", "Jinsui Wan", "Yangjing Dan".

These miraculous elixirs are something that even low-level cultivators can only dream of.

Therefore, several months later, Lin Mo secretly accelerated the ripening of a batch of herbs and started refining pills according to the methods in the Hundred Herbs Record.

To his surprise, even these basic pills were quite difficult to refine.

You should know that you have the added benefit of the pharmacological knowledge brought by the "Hundred Herbs Record".

Lin Mo remembered that Han Li in the original novel was already able to refine these kinds of pills on his own when he was in the Divine Hand Valley.

Could it be that he possesses an extraordinary talent for alchemy?

Oh well, I already have my own little green bottle, so I can just use my experience to build up the supply.

As long as there are enough spiritual herbs, even if his talent is poor, he can still refine pills.

One afternoon six months later.

After consuming countless herbs, Lin Mo finally succeeded in refining the first batch of Yellow Dragon Pills.

The three of them took the pills together. After experiencing the benefits of the external aid, Han Li couldn't help but ask Lin Mo for advice on alchemy.

Firstly, he didn't want his senior brother to sacrifice his cultivation time to work hard refining pills for them.

The path of cultivation is inherently a race against time. Although his senior brother's cultivation is progressing rapidly, Han Li would feel really bad if he were distracted by this matter and his cultivation was delayed.

Secondly, he wanted to secretly use the small green bottle to accelerate the growth of herbs and try to refine a batch of high-quality pills.

"Want to learn alchemy? That's not impossible."

Inside the room, Lin Mo wanted to see Han Li's alchemy skills, so he shared some of his insights with him.
