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

"As long as we avoid that person for now, everything will be easier once he's driven down the mountain in a few days."

Jin Dongbao darted through the woods, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

"Snapped!"

The sound of fallen leaves being crushed echoed behind him, startling him.

Before Jin Dongbao could stop, he clearly heard a "whoosh" sound.

A pebble struck him squarely on the knee.

"ah!"

Jin Dongbao screamed and fell forward, crashing heavily into a pile of fallen leaves.

At the same time, a figure quietly emerged from behind the tree.

"Where's my money?"

Lin Mo's expression was calm.

It wasn't feigned composure, nor was it a forced suppression of anger; it was as if he were asking about a trivial matter.

"Lin Mo, Senior Brother Lin. What...what are you doing here?"

Jin Dongbao swallowed hard, his eyes darting around.

"Zhang... Zhang Tie didn't give it to you? I already gave it to him last time... Ah!"

Before Jin Dongbao could finish speaking, his other good leg was also hit.

This time, however, the force was clearly stronger than before. Jin Dongbao grimaced in pain but dared not utter a sound.

"Wow, how come I didn't know the Seven Mysteries Sect had such a powerful figure?"

A sound came from the treetops.

Lin Mo paused slightly and looked up.

The boy who had been guarding the entrance to the Hundred Forging Hall suddenly appeared before them.

"Senior Brother Li, help! He's trying to kill me to cover it up! Please save me!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Jin Dongbao cried out as if grasping at a straw.

"You attacked your fellow disciple without cause; that's against the rules, isn't it?"

"My name is Li Feiyu, please enlighten me!"

The moment the last word fell, Li Feiyu, like a raptor that had been poised for a long time, suddenly sprang out.

He couldn't stand people who bullied others by taking advantage of their power, so after hearing Jin Dongbao say that someone was maliciously extorting money from him, he was determined to teach this guy a lesson.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud exploded through the forest.

Then, Li Feiyu, whom Jin Dongbao regarded as his lifeline, lay down with him in the pile of dead leaves with a blank expression.

If it weren't for the burning pain in her chest, Li Feiyu would almost think she was dreaming.

Lin Mo ignored Li Feiyu. Although the young man had not yet made a name for himself as "Li Hu," his martial arts skills were already among the best of the younger generation of disciples.

only......

I have now mastered Doctor Mo's signature martial arts technique.

Demon Silver Hand! Dragon-Trapping Technique!

These two techniques not only grant you three years of internal energy upon learning them, but also countless hours of experience honed through rigorous training.

Therefore, in just one exchange, Li Feiyu was punched in the chest, leaving him no room to react before being sent flying backward.

"Where's my money?"

Lin Mo walked forward step by step, looking down at the abacus, and asked, word by word.

......

Back in his room, Lin Mo carefully checked the bundle. It contained a total of ninety-four taels of silver, which gleamed on the table.

With so much money, it's no wonder that the shrewd schemer was greedy.

Lin Mo sighed slightly, his eyes slowly turning the pages of the book.

[Ten consecutive pulls!]

[Suicide Note (White)]

【The Hundred Herbal Formulas (White)】

【Silver Hand (Green)】

【Black Silk Armor (White)】

[Nameless Poison Mirror (Blue)]

【Huangli Wan(White)】

【Plum Blossom Needle (White)】

【Breast Protection Mirror (White)】

【Records of Wild Herbs (White)】

【Hidden Blade (White)】

Another blue item?

A glint flashed in Lin Mo's eyes. Based on his experience from the last card draw, the blue-quality card corresponded to the authentic immortal cultivation technique, "Eternal Spring Technique."

Could this nameless poison be...?

He chose to engage in tangible learning without hesitation.

In an instant, the familiar, excruciating pain returned to my mind.

Lin Mo gritted his teeth and let out a muffled groan.

After all the memories were integrated, a strange expression appeared on his face.

It turns out that this nameless poison mirror, though not the cultivation method one might imagine, does encompass many strange and unheard-of poisons in the world.

From the proportions and refining methods of poisons to the use of poison to fight poison and to the use of poison to subdue enemies, all sorts of incredible toxicological principles, poison arrays, and poison techniques are recorded in the book.

No wonder Doctor Mo became a regional overlord in his prime; it must be inextricably linked to this nameless poison.

"So, the nameless poison that Dr. Mo used to bring down Yu Zitong came from here."

Even cultivators can fall victim to this if they're not careful, let alone ordinary people.

It's not bad; at least it's more effective than Changchun Gong.

Lin Mo then turned his attention to the other cards.

Compared to the Unnamed Poison Mirror, the "Records of Wild Herbs" is merely ordinary.

After learning about the manifestation of the medicinal properties, he only gained an understanding of many methods for identifying herbs and their medicinal properties and pharmacology.

At the same time, I gained a deeper understanding of some of the contents of the "Hundred Herbs Prescriptions".

Lin Mo did not choose to materialize the rest, but saved them for future upgrades.

Just as he closed his eyes to digest the newly learned memories, Zhang Tie's deep voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Senior brother, Doctor Mo is looking for you."

The boy at this age is going through puberty, and his voice sounds a bit hoarse and rough, but it has a really solid and powerful quality.

"understood."

Why is Dr. Mo looking for me now? Is it because of Jin Dongbao?

Along the way, Lin Mo quickly thought of what to say, and then gently knocked on the door of the main room.

"Come in."

The aged voice inside the house was devoid of joy or sorrow.

"Master. You wanted to see me?"

Lin Mo bowed respectfully, standing before the old man with his head bowed and eyes lowered.

He could feel a gaze falling on him, as if trying to scrutinize him thoroughly from the inside out.

"How's your Elephant Armor Technique practice going?"

Dr. Mo's voice slowly rang out.

"In reply to Master, I am dull-witted and only barely managed to touch the threshold of the first level yesterday."

It turns out it wasn't because of Jin Dongbao.

Lin Mo's thoughts raced. Logically speaking, shouldn't Doctor Mo be focusing all his attention on Han Li at this stage?

"snort!"

Doctor Mo scoffed coldly, saying with displeasure, "I've noticed that you haven't been focusing on your training lately at all. You spend all day messing around in my herb garden, digging up herbs haphazardly. Do you really think I'm blind?"

"Of the three of you, I originally had the highest hopes for you. If you weren't lacking in that destiny, what harm would it have done for me to pass on all my cultivation and memories to you?"

This statement carries a hint of sincerity, and even a touch of disappointment.

But to Lin Mo, it sounded awkward no matter how he listened.

"A lifetime of cultivation and memories? I'm afraid there are some side effects you didn't mention."

Lin Mo was speechless for a moment, and a look of shame appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Doctor Mo felt that he had achieved his goal, and took out a black pill from the wooden box on the table.

"This is called the Essence Nourishing Pill. It is most suitable for young people with shallow foundations to nourish their essence and cultivate their strength. Consider it a special treat that your master has prepared for you; no one else has received this. As the eldest disciple, you must set a good example in the future and never act recklessly, lest you fail to live up to your master's painstaking efforts."

These heartfelt and sincere words of advice almost moved Lin Mo to tears.

He thought to himself: If I didn't know that the ultimate fate of cultivating the Elephant Armor Technique was to be refined into a puppet, I would kowtow to you right now.

"Thank you, Master. I understand."

Lin Mo respectfully accepted the pill with both hands, and was about to carefully put it into his robes when Doctor Mo's indifferent voice rang out again, leaving no room for negotiation: "No need to take it. Just swallow it here, in front of me."

"Yes, Master."

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Mo put the pill into his mouth.

He chewed it carefully for a few moments before swallowing it in one gulp. Finally, he frowned and muttered under his breath, "It's really bitter."

I guess I was overthinking it.

Doctor Mo nodded in satisfaction, his tone softening slightly: "Go ahead, but remember not to tell anyone else about this. Not even Zhang Tie and Han Li can divulge a single word, or they will accuse me of favoritism."

"Yes, Master."

Lin Mo patted his chest with feigned maturity, but as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something, and a look of curiosity and longing appeared on his face.

"By the way, Master, you said last time that after mastering the Elephant Armor Technique, one could easily capture a hungry wolf alive and tear a tiger or leopard apart. Is that true?"

He deliberately acted like a young man who longed for powerful force, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"Of course it's true."

Doctor Mo smiled slightly, about to say something, when he heard Lin Mo mutter softly, "Wouldn't that be the same as cultivators?"
