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

It was the second month after Lin Mo taught Han Li his insights.

"Senior brother, I've successfully refined the elixir too!"

Seeing Han Lixing rushing over to deliver the good news, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Am I really that bad at alchemy?"

Han Li was completely unaware that something was amiss. He mysteriously handed a pill to Zhang Tie.

"Try it, Brother Tie. I added a little... something else to it, and it might be more effective than your senior's."

The newly planted herbs in the medicinal field are not yet mature. Even the herbs that Lin Mo used to refine pills were purchased by Li Feiyu from outside the mountain gate, and they are only about ten years old.

The batch that Han Li refined himself had been aged to nearly several hundred years.

Seeing Han Li winking and making faces, Zhang Tie swallowed the pill in one gulp.

"The taste is indeed better."

Zhang Tie smacked his lips and said seriously.

"The effect, I mean the effect, Brother Tie, don't you feel anything else?"

Han Li was getting anxious.

Zhang Tie closed his eyes and meditated for a while before slowly opening them.

To be honest, the pills Han Li refined were noticeably less effective than those Lin Mo gave him, and their medicinal properties were also somewhat mixed and impure.

But not wanting to dampen the latter's enthusiasm, he still grinned憨厚ly and nodded emphatically, saying, "It works! The medicine is very potent, Little Chestnut, you're amazing!"

Another half hour passed.

Seeing that Zhang Tie did not experience any adverse effects such as diarrhea, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief and carefully swallowed the pill he had refined.

He was secretly thinking to himself: Tie Ge's physical condition is much better than his own. Even if he really gets sick from eating something bad, his senior brother can save him in time with his skills. It's good to let him help test it out first.

Lin Mo, who happened to be passing by, saw this scene and couldn't help but find it amusing.

As expected, Han Li was still the same Han Li from our memories.

This cautiousness remained unchanged even without the important factor of Dr. Mo.

"Strange, why is the effect not as good as the pills refined by my senior brother?"

After the effects of the medicine had fully dissipated, Han Li opened his eyes in confusion and muttered to himself in bewilderment.

The medicinal herbs here were ripened by my own hands, so their medicinal properties should be even more abundant.

As for why the difference was so great, he had no clue at all.

That evening, Han Li went to see Lin Mo again and asked him about his doubts.

To everyone's surprise, his senior brother simply stroked his chin, looking ambiguous, and said, "The effects of pills vary greatly. Whether it's the herbs themselves, the control of the heat, or even the timing of adding the herbs, a slight difference can lead to a huge difference. There's nothing strange about it."

"I see."

Han Li nodded as if he understood, concluding that this was due to his senior brother's superior talent in alchemy, and stopped worrying about it.

The days passed peacefully, one by one.

Four years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In four years, with the help of elixirs, Lin Mo raised his cultivation level to the sixth level of Qi Refining in one go.

Han Li and Zhang Tie both stepped into the threshold of the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Given Lin Mo's unique spiritual root aptitude, the gap between the three should have been much larger than it is now.

Unfortunately, "success and failure both stem from the unique spiritual root."

As a basic fire-attribute cultivation technique, the "Ignition Technique" was not a good fit for Lin Mo, who had a dark spiritual root. He could only operate it with difficulty and it was far less smooth and seamless than Han Li and Zhang Tie's techniques.

As far as Lin Mo knew, the compatible cultivation techniques were all in the hands of the demonic path.

Given his current level of cultivation, if he were to foolishly go to a demonic sect to become an apprentice, the consequences would be no less than if he were to wander into a real-life amusement park alone.

Therefore, even though his cultivation technique was holding him back, Lin Mo could only grit his teeth and continue cultivating.

According to the original plot, the Tainan Small Gathering will begin in a few years.

Lin Mo silently calculated on his fingers, hoping to raise his cultivation level by two more levels before the Tai Nan Small Gathering to ensure his safety.

Just then, a knock sounded on the door.

Han Li and Zhang Tie naturally wouldn't dare to disturb Lin Mo while he was cultivating.

As for Li Feiyu, ever since he mastered the Elephant Armor Technique, he has earned the reputation of "Fierce Tiger" in the martial arts world and is now considered a big shot. He is busy all day long and hasn't been to Shenshou Valley for almost half a year.

Thinking about it this way, the person outside the door was somewhat unexpected.

Upon opening the door, a man in his fifties came into view.

The old man was slightly overweight, with long, narrow, and bright eyes that conveyed a sense of authority and shrewdness from someone who had long held a high position.

"Greetings, Vice Sect Leader Ma."

Lin Mo recognized the person who had come and politely cupped his hands in greeting.

"There's no need for me to be so polite with Dr. Lin."

The deputy sect leader waved his hand dismissively, a friendly smile plastered on his face, as if the two were old friends who had known each other for many years.

"Still no news from Dr. Mo?"

After glancing around the room, he casually asked a question.

"Replying to the Vice Sect Leader, there is still no such thing. Master Mo descended the mountain alone back then, probably..."

Lin Mo stopped speaking abruptly; the other party should understand without him having to say the rest.

Doctor Mo went down the mountain alone to search for medicine, and there has been no news of him for so many years. He must have encountered some misfortune.

This is the "ending" that Lin Mo designed for Doctor Mo at the Seven Mysteries Sect.

In order to preserve the tranquility of Shenshou Valley, he has occasionally intervened in recent years to heal some of his disciples.

These were just some ordinary healing pills, nothing special to Lin Mo.

Upon hearing this, Vice Sect Master Ma's smile faded slightly, and he slowly said, "Please accept my condolences. However, the sect cannot be without a doctor for even a day. Of course, I am not referring to you, Young Divine Physician Lin, but I happened to meet a reclusive renowned physician last month. His surname is Liu, and he has now agreed to serve the Seven Mysteries Sect. In the future, he will take over the position of Doctor Mo, and Young Divine Physician Lin will need to provide him with much assistance."

He paused, then added unhurriedly, "Besides that, thanks to my efforts, the monthly stipends of you three brothers will increase by another 20% next month. What do you think?"

"In that case, we will follow the sect leader's instructions."

Lin Mo remained calm and bowed slightly in response.

"Excellent, excellent! Young Doctor Lin is indeed intelligent; his future is limitless..."

Lin Mo shook his head only after watching the Vice Sect Leader Ma leave.

It seems I can't stay in God's Hand Valley anymore.

He couldn't be bothered with the infighting among ordinary sects, but in any case, the sudden addition of another person to the valley meant that they could no longer cultivate in peace as they did now.

night.

Lin Mo then told Han Li and Zhang Tie the news.

"Leave the Seven Mysteries Sect?"

"Are we going to venture into the world of cultivation, Senior Brother?"

Han Li's eyes lit up. He had long been fascinated by the legendary world of cultivation. Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, he could not contain his excitement and immediately stood up.

Although Zhang Tie didn't say anything, judging from his expression, he thought the same as Han Li.

"It's not time yet. Next, we'll go to Lanzhou, Jiayuan City."

Lin Mo shook his head and said in a deep voice.

"Jiayuan City? What are you going there for?"

As soon as Zhang Tiegang finished asking his question, Han Li preemptively spoke up, "I remember Senior Brother saying that Doctor Mo's hometown is in Jiayuan City. Senior Brother, are we going to pay our respects to Doctor Mo's family?"

After he finished speaking, his face suddenly turned red.

correct!

For so long, we've been so focused on cultivating immortality that we've completely ignored Master Mo's family in the mortal realm.

This apprentice is really not doing his job properly!

It has to be my senior brother; he truly is a filial disciple!

The two exchanged a glance and then lowered their heads sheepishly.
