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

"Senior brother, I really can't drink anymore."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Tie, who seemed to be the one who could drink the most among the three, was the first to collapse.

As for Han Li...

The young man before me had completely shed his usual caution and silence; his cheeks were flushed with the light red of alcohol, and his eyes were much gentler than usual.

"Senior brother, if you find practicing the Elephant Armor Technique too strenuous, why don't I go and plead with Doctor Mo to let you switch to another technique?"

Han Li rubbed his stomach and said with a serious expression.

The two of them had been watching Zhang Tie cultivate almost recklessly lately.

Lin Mo showed little interest in the A-grade technique, which led Han Li to assume that his senior brother did not like it.

Lin Mo waved his hand gently, looked at the drunk Zhang Tie, then turned to Han Li, his tone tinged with emotion.

"That's not necessary. But then again, it's because you, Junior Brother, have such high comprehension that you were able to comprehend and cultivate that nameless incantation on your own."

Hearing Lin Mo's slightly envious tone, Han Li immediately scratched the back of his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Senior brother, to be honest, I don't know what happened either. I just felt that this technique wasn't as difficult as I had imagined. As long as I circulated my energy, I felt my body's energy flow smoothly. Following my will, I naturally mastered it."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo feigned anger and said, "Little Chestnut, are you showing off to your older brother?"

"In that case, I might as well become your disciple. When you have some free time, please share your cultivation insights with me."

Normally, Han Li would have thought that his words had upset his senior brother, but now, fueled by alcohol, he noticed that Lin Mo didn't show any displeasure, and he immediately felt like playing around.

"Since you are so sincere in accepting me as your master, senior brother..."

Han Li deliberately put on a stern face, adopting a mature demeanor.

"Then... I will reluctantly accept you as my disciple. When my mind is clear in the future, I may pass on a few insights to you."

After saying that, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

[Successfully became an apprentice]

[Unlock Card Pool: Han Li]

A single draw costs 100 taels of silver; a ten-draw costs 900 taels of silver.

[Draw cards?]

Lin Mo looked at the information flashing in his eyes and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

My guess was right. As long as the other party personally agreed to take me on as an apprentice, I could unlock the card pool.

In this way, he would no longer have any worries.

After thoroughly drinking the two men under the table, Lin Mo escorted Han Li and Zhang Tie back to their beds. Then, he rubbed his hands together and excitedly examined the scrolls.

One draw costs one hundred taels, which is ten times that of Doctor Mo.

This is because Han Li doesn't have anything valuable on him right now, and can only be considered a "cultivator" to a certain extent.

I wonder if the lottery price will change as his cultivation level improves.

Lin Mo was tempted to try his luck, but unfortunately he didn't have enough money, so he had to suppress his excitement and give up for the time being.

When he woke up, Han Li was already overjoyed and came over to him.

"Senior brother, good news! Doctor Mo has gone out of the valley to collect herbs and won't be back for about a month. We can finally relax for a while!"

"Going out of the valley to collect herbs?"

Lin Mo rubbed his eyes, fully awake.

It seems that Doctor Mo is more anxious than I thought. But thinking about it, it makes sense. The soul residing in his body is his mortal enemy. If it were him, he probably wouldn't even be able to wait a whole night.

"Also, senior brother. A guy who seemed to be looking for you came by earlier. I asked Brother Tie to keep an eye on him."

A pretentious guy?

A strange look appeared on Lin Mo's face as he followed Han Li out of the house.

Sure enough, I saw it... Li Feiyu.

Under the old tree in the courtyard, the boy stood tall and straight like a pine tree, with a simple cloth bundle slung over his shoulder, watching Zhang Tie throw a punch with a cold expression.

Although the moves were simple, the latter had practiced them with a steady and solid approach, executing each move meticulously.

"Look at his pretentious mature look, really..." Han Li muttered to himself.

"Loading the cargo."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but chuckle twice.

He never imagined that the two people who would later become so deeply intertwined would start with the phrase "loading cargo".

The word "fate" is truly wonderful.

Perhaps hearing Lin Mo's laughter, Li Feiyu coughed lightly, her face still expressionless, maintaining her aloof and unapproachable demeanor, only her posture became even straighter.

"Yesterday I misjudged people and acted rashly. I hope you won't take offense."

Li Feiyu took the bundle off his shoulder and tossed it to Lin Mo, saying curtly.

"Brother Li, I certainly don't mean to blame you. Now that you're here, have some cool water to calm down."

Lin Mo smiled as he took the bundle, saying nonchalantly.

The medicinal bath for dissolving black bone pills contains several herbs that are not even found in the medicinal fields of Shenshou Valley, so he went back yesterday to ask Li Feiyu to go down the mountain to buy them.

After the boy was reprimanded by him, Jin Dongbao finally confessed everything.

Li Feiyu never expected that Xiao Suanpan, who usually seemed honest, would have such audacity.

Facing Lin Mo at this moment, given his personality, he naturally maintained a cold and hard demeanor on the surface, but in his heart he had already admitted his mistake.

Sure enough, the thing I asked you to do yesterday has already been completed today.

Before long, Zhang Tie returned from the main kitchen with some food. The four of them then sat down under the old tree in the courtyard and ate a simple meal.

"I wonder what kind of martial art this gentleman practices?"

Halfway through the meal, Li Feiyu put down his chopsticks and, unable to contain his curiosity, looked at Zhang Tie and asked.

He could vaguely tell that the other party seemed to be practicing a rare external cultivation technique, but in his memory, the Seven Mysteries Sect did not seem to have this type of technique, which aroused his curiosity.

"Cough cough."

Han Li tapped his chopsticks together and said seriously, "Senior brother, we in Divine Hand Valley have a rule that we cannot talk while eating."

"understood."

Li Feiyu's face darkened, and he picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and bit down fiercely.

Lin Mo found it amusing and did not stop it.

After the meal, he found two large wooden buckets, and while instructing Han Li to boil water, he prepared the medicinal herbs.

"Senior brother, are you sure we want to make this?"

Looking at the dark-colored, pungent medicinal liquid in the bucket, Zhang Tie swallowed hard and asked hesitantly.

"Soak! According to the book, doing this will greatly benefit the cultivation of the Elephant Armor Technique. But remember, don't let Elder Mo know, otherwise he'll blame us for taking shortcuts again."

Without hesitation, Lin Mo took off his clothes and jumped in.

Although the effects of the Black Bone Pill had not yet fully taken hold, he already felt that his body was heavier than usual.

"Han Li, you stay here and keep watch, adding water and keeping the temperature up as needed."

"Yes, Senior Brother!"

Han Li and Zhang Tie always followed Lin Mo's instructions.

After all, for the six months since they entered the valley, Doctor Mo had completely ignored them. But the senior brother in front of them had genuinely taken good care of them.

Li Feiyu watched in amazement.

"So this guy's skill was all developed from soaking in medicinal baths. No wonder someone could be so much stronger than me."

Having found the answer, Li Feiyu felt as if a burden had been lifted from her heart. She finally stopped wearing that cold expression, and her smile relaxed considerably.

Even at the very end, he took the initiative to fetch water for Han Li.

"Tch, all he does is flatter."

Han Li shook his head, inwardly grumbling to himself.

three days later.

"Xiao Lizi, the water temperature is right now. You don't need to worry about us anymore. Go out for a stroll by yourself."

Lin Mo and Zhang Tie slowly immersed their bodies into the tub, leaving only their heads above water.

"Understood, Senior Brother."

The few days that Doctor Mo was away were arguably the happiest time for Han Li since he entered the Seven Mysteries Sect.

After meals each day, Han Li only needed to help his senior brother and Tie Ge prepare the medicinal bath, and then he could legitimately go out for a stroll.

The scenery of Caixia Mountain goes without saying; its peaks are verdant and its vegetation lush.

Han Li slowly walked out of Shenshou Valley and headed towards Chishui Peak.

This is a "good place" that he recently discovered.

At the foot of the waterfall at Chishui Peak, many disciples often practice and spar, their fists flying and their moves fierce.

This made Han Li, who only knew how to silently cultivate the nameless incantation, feel both envious and disappointed.
