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

"Senior brother, senior brother!"

Hearing the shouts, Lin Mo and Zhang Tie opened their eyes almost simultaneously.

The temperature of the medicinal bath was not low, and with the warm sun shining overhead, both of them were feeling drowsy. The shout instantly woke them up.

"What happened?"

Zhang Tie instinctively tried to stand up, but the moment he came out of the water, he suddenly felt a chill and immediately squatted down again.

"Senior brother, please save me! I'm afraid I'm not going to make it!"

Seeing Han Li limping in, Lin Mo immediately sat up straight from the medicine tub, his expression instantly becoming serious.

"What exactly happened, Chestnut?"

"It's all this damn bottle's fault! It made my feet swell up."

Han Li looked aggrieved and annoyed as he reached into his robes and pulled out a small, light green bottle.

The bottle is small, small enough to be held in one hand, and has several dark green patterns printed on its surface, making it look extremely beautiful.

"The Heavenly Bottle!"

Lin Mu stared intently at the small green bottle, his breath suddenly tightening.

Finally, this item has arrived!

"Chestnut, where did you steal this from? Be careful you don't get caught." Zhang Tie grinned and winked.

Because Li Feiyu had been coming over to chat with them frequently these past few days, they finally couldn't help but reveal their true nature.

Nowadays, the boy's original cold facade has long since disappeared, and he is now always arguing and bickering with Han Li.

The two immediately clashed upon meeting, neither willing to give an inch.

Zhang Tie, who was standing next to him, gradually learned a bit of humor from being influenced by what he saw and heard.

Lin Mo remained silent, and Han Li was both angry and annoyed. No one responded to his question, making the situation somewhat awkward.

"There's some medicine powder under my pillow. Go and apply it first."

Upon hearing Lin Mo speak, Han Li responded and turned to walk into the house.

"What a strange bottle!"

Several hours later, even with all his might, Zhang Tie still couldn't open the bottle cap, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"What? Brother Tie, you can't open it either?"

Han Li's face showed disappointment. This small bottle looked very unusual; it was probably something that some wealthy young master on the mountain had accidentally left behind.

The bottle itself looks so elegant; I really want to know what's inside!

"Senior brother, do you have a way to open the bottle?"

"no."

Lin Mo forced himself not to look at the small bottle.

Although given his current status, Han Li would certainly not refuse him if he asked for it.

However, Lin Mo had already unlocked Han Li's card pool, and he firmly believed that sooner or later he would be able to draw the Palm Heaven Bottle.

Secondly, Lin Mo still wanted to ensure that the plot did not deviate too much from the original work.

Only in this way can we ensure that the key opportunities and treasures in Han Li's card pool will not completely disappear due to changes in the world line.

However, in order to protect himself, he had already revealed the details of Master Jin Guang to Doctor Mo a few days ago, and he didn't know what the consequences would be.

Fine, at worst I'll just work behind the scenes to gradually bring things back on track.

......

Summer mornings seem to come earlier.

As dawn broke, a faint golden-red hue spread across the sky.

Zhang Tie yawned and prepared to boil water as usual. He turned around and saw Lin Mo and Han Li still lying in bed. He then remembered that his senior brother seemed to have said yesterday that they no longer needed to soak in that sticky medicinal juice starting today.

"but......"

"Senior brother's medicine is really effective. A few days ago, I was very tired after practicing my skills, and even walking was quite stiff. But after taking a few medicinal baths, I feel much more relaxed now."

Zhang Tie stretched his body and, seeing that neither of the two people on the kang (a heated brick bed) showed any sign of getting up, decided to go to the main kitchen to bring back some food.

"Clang."

Hearing a soft sound coming from the courtyard gate, Zhang Tie subconsciously thought that Li Feiyu had come again. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the person coming seemed to be a little different from Li Feiyu.

"Old Mo!"

Half an hour later.

The three of them stood obediently in the main room, waiting for Doctor Mo to examine them.

I didn't expect Dr. Mo to be back so soon.

Lin Mo secretly thought he was lucky.

Could it be that Doctor Mo didn't go to Jin Guang Temple this time, but really went to collect herbs?

"What happened? Han Li, have you been slacking off while I was away, and haven't been practicing properly at all?"

Doctor Mo placed his hand on the latter's arm, examined him for a while, and then his expression turned grim.

"Master, it's not that I'm not trying hard enough, it's just that this cultivation technique is far too difficult..."

Han Li has now developed the good habit of lying without blinking.

Upon hearing this, Doctor Mo's brows furrowed into a knot. Then, with a hint of reluctance and heartache, he took a small medicine box from the drawer and handed it to Han Li.

"The pills inside should be taken three times a day."

"And you two, how's your cultivation going these past few days?"

Doctor Mo forcibly shifted his gaze to Lin Mo and Zhang Tie.

"Reporting to Master, I have completely stabilized the first level of the Elephant Armor Technique," Lin Mo said, feigning delight.

"Um."

Doctor Mo seemed indifferent to this, and after asking a few more questions about Zhang Tie's cultivation progress, he instructed them to hurry up and practice their skills.

After Lin Mo and the other two left, Doctor Mo paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, a rare look of helplessness and confusion on his face.

After repeating this for a while, he finally tentatively spoke:

"Brother Yu, there is something I don't understand. I hope you can enlighten me."

"Why would a dignified cultivator value gold and silver so much? This is too much..."

However, this time, the young man's voice did not appear again.

Inside the room, it seemed that only Doctor Mo was talking to himself.

A few days earlier, after making inquiries from various sources, Doctor Mo finally located the Jin Guang Temple.

The thought of meeting a true cultivator soon filled this once powerful leader of Jiayuan City, who commanded tens of thousands of followers, with a heart full of trepidation.

If it weren't for the schemes orchestrated by that Yu guy, I wouldn't have ended up in this state!

When I meet the immortal master later, I will beg him to lift the blood curse. If I can become his disciple and learn the art of immortality, what do worldly riches and honors matter?

For a moment, Doctor Mo seemed to return to his youth, to the glorious days when he founded the Jingjiao Society and swept through Jiayuan City.

An overwhelming surge of heroic emotion welled up within him, and even his breathing became much more rapid.

Then... he was stopped outside the temple by two Taoist boys.

"Where did this old fool come from? The Master is extremely busy; you can't just see him whenever you want!"

Seeing Doctor Mo's lack of manners, the young apprentice frowned and reminded him, "Did you bring enough money for the incense offerings?"

"Incense money?"

Doctor Mo hesitated for a moment, then took out a few taels of silver from his pocket and handed it over.

As the saying goes, it's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings; I just need to be patient.

Dr. Mo comforted himself in this way.

To his surprise, the young Taoist priest suddenly let out a few cold laughs after he handed over the silver.

"You think you can see the master with just a few taels of silver? Do you think Jin Guang Temple is some roadside shrine? Old man, I advise you to go back to where you came from."

What does that mean?

Not enough?

Upon hearing this, Doctor Mo felt a lump in his throat and a surge of anger rushed to his head.

This isn't some kind of Taoist temple; it's clearly a den of robbers!

I was truly fooled by that brat's nonsense, actually believing that there were cultivators here. When I get back, I will definitely...

Just as he was suppressing his anger and preparing to return to Caixia Mountain, he suddenly heard a whooshing sound.

In their line of sight, a hazy gray light streaked across the sky like a flash of lightning.

The gray light was extremely fast. Just as it was about to hit the tree, it turned around like a living thing, nimbly bypassing the tree trunk and falling straight into the Golden Light Temple.

Immediately, cheers erupted from inside the temple.

"What is this?"

Doctor Mo stared blankly as the gray light disappeared, his anger, which had just subsided, was instantly replaced by a strong sense of shock.

Such a powerful weapon is clearly not something that people in the martial arts world can master.

Could it be that there are really cultivators in this temple?

The two young Taoist disciples outside the temple hadn't gone far when they heard this. They exchanged a smile and said with deep disdain and contempt, "This flying sword is one of the master's supernatural powers. Only a mortal like you would make such a fuss."

Another person spoke with equal sarcasm: "Young Master Liu has loved swords since childhood. Every time he goes up the mountain to pay respects to the master, he starts with a hundred taels of gold. Unlike you, who thinks you can make us report by throwing down a few taels of silver? How laughable!"

Doctor Mo seemed oblivious to their mockery; at that moment, he had only one thought in his mind.

"It was true after all; there really are cultivators here!"

"My illness can be cured!"
