One person: Lu family bodyguard, who shattered Longhu Mountain with a single palm strike.

Lin Mo's eyes widened instantly.

Before he could react, a massive, scorching aura exploded deep within his dantian.

It felt like a great sun rising out of nowhere inside my body.

The Nine Yang True Qi surged wildly along the eight extraordinary meridians, bringing warmth wherever it passed.

Lin Mo's original 109 years of pure internal energy was like a silent lake, vast and profound, but lacking a true core operating method.

But now, with the Nine Yang Divine Skill entering his body, it's like installing a complete circulatory system into this great lake.

The internal energy began to circulate, replenish, and purify itself on its own.

With each rotation, Lin Mo could feel his meridians getting warmer and his aura getting stronger.

What was originally just a vast amount of internal energy has now acquired the characteristics of being inexhaustible and extremely powerful.

If his previous method of beating people was like "opening the floodgates," where the quantity was plentiful and the losses were also significant.

Now, it's as if there's an extra sun inside him.

Not only can it fight, it can also maintain its battery life.

Not only can it extend battery life, but it can also heal wounds, resist poisons, and ward off evil spirits.

Lin Mo closed his eyes and felt it for a moment, then the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.

This amazing skill was exactly what he needed.

After confirming that the Nine Yang True Qi was mild and controllable, Lin Mo got up and walked to the table. He picked up the fruit knife next to the fruit plate and gently made a shallow cut on the back of his left finger.

The wound isn't serious, so it's a good opportunity to test the recovery speed without affecting my work tomorrow.

As soon as a single drop of blood oozed out, Lin Mo's mind stirred, and his pure Yang energy flowed along his meridians to his fingertips.

The wound felt slightly warm.

A few breaths later, the bleeding stopped, the skin closed up, and the scab fell off. In the end, not even a white mark was left.

Holy crap.

Lin Mo gasped, his smile completely gone.

His biggest weakness was that he had a century of cultivation but no proper top-level internal energy cultivation method.

The method of striking relies entirely on the external release of internal force, and while the combination with Iron Palm technique is powerful enough, it is somewhat crude.

It's different now.

The max-level Nine Yang Divine Skill directly made up for his last weakness.

It is endlessly regenerating, has extremely fast mana regeneration, heals wounds and resists poison, and is extremely masculine and powerful.

If we take on those kinds of dirty jobs involving abandoned basements, poisonous insects, corpses, and miasma in the future, combat losses will be reduced significantly.

Cleaning fees and equipment wear and tear will be reported.

However, the actual cost is reduced.

It's all profit.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo almost burst out laughing.

Just as he suppressed the restless true energy within him and his mind was filled with more and more joy, Lu Jin was leisurely leading his butler downstairs to the restaurant in the corridor outside the guest room.

As Lu Jin passed by Lin Mo's room, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

His graying eyebrows furrowed, his gaze fixed on the solid wood door, his expression filled with surprise and uncertainty.

As one of the Ten Elders, Lu Jin possessed exceptionally keen senses. He detected the heat wave even though it only lasted for a fleeting moment.

overbearing.

purely.

Extremely strong and masculine.

That aura was unlike the Qi of ordinary extraordinary people; it was more like a ball of Yang fire suppressed to the extreme.

Even though they were separated by just a door, Lu Jin could feel a scorching sharpness.

For a fleeting moment, he even thought of the Golden Light Mantra of the old Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain.

"strangeness……"

Lu Jin lowered her voice.

"Did a surge of pure Yang energy just emerge from that kid's room?"

The butler paused for a moment, then said, "Sir, you mean Mr. Lin?"

Inside the room, Lin Mo had already pressed himself against the back of the door.

A bead of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he quickly suppressed his Nine Yang aura to the extreme.

Then, he casually turned on his computer, randomly selected a TV series, and turned the volume to normal.

Soon, the noise of a TV drama could be heard outside the door.

Lu Jin frowned even more deeply.

He clenched his fists, but ultimately resisted the urge to knock on the door.

After all, it was already past five o'clock.

If this kid opens the door and says, "Mr. Lu, consultations after get off work hours are charged separately," where will he put his dignity as a member of the Ten Elders?

Lu Jin glanced deeply at the door, but finally left quietly.

Inside the house, Lin Mo listened to the footsteps fade away before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That was close."

He stroked his chin, silently making a mental note.

When it comes to integrating system rewards in the future, it's best to first activate soundproofing, and also to distance yourself from Lu Jin, one of the Ten Elders.

……

Half an hour later, at Lu Family Restaurant.

Lin Mo adhered to the principle that "free meals and accommodation are contractual benefits and are not subject to working hours restrictions," and showed up on time to freeload meals.

Lu Jin sat in the main seat, seemingly drinking tea, but her eyes were constantly on Lin Mo.

This kid just helped Lu Lin break through her cultivation barrier during the day, so he should have been quite exhausted. But now, he looks unusually clean, with a rosy complexion and full of energy, showing no signs of fatigue whatsoever.

It's even more stable than it was in the morning.

The more Lu Jin looked, the more uneasy she felt.

"Young Lin, you must have expended a lot of energy today?" Lu Jin suddenly asked tentatively.

Lin Mo swallowed the meat in his mouth and smiled, saying, "It's alright, Mr. Lu. Young Master Lu cooperated very well, and I didn't have to put in much effort."

"Are you really not tired?"

Lin Mo instantly became alert, his face suddenly turned pale, and sweat beaded on his forehead.

"Oh, now that you mention it, I suddenly feel a bit tired, so exhausted..."

Lu Jin's hand holding the teacup froze in mid-air, and the corner of her mouth twitched violently.

This acting is so fake!

"I was just asking."

Lin Mo wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."

Lu Linglong almost choked on the soup.

Lu Jin took a deep breath and forced herself to drink the tea.

After dinner, Lin Mo put down his chopsticks and stood up.

"Mr. Lu, Ms. Lu, Miss Lu, I'm going for a walk in the backyard."

Lin Mo strolled to the secluded grove in the backyard. After confirming that no one was around, he began to test the practical effects of the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

He casually picked up a fallen leaf, flicked his fingertips, and released the Nine Yang True Qi.

The fallen leaves didn't break; they just twirled in my palm before turning into dust and disappearing, leaving a faint smell of burning.

"Its Yang attribute is indeed obvious."

Lin Mo took out another sealed bag. Inside was a trace sample of poison powder that he had casually left behind after the last mission in the abandoned basement. The dose was very weak, but even if an ordinary person came into contact with it, they would still have a fever for at least three days.

He picked up a little with a silver needle and applied it to the back of his finger.

As soon as the Nine Yang True Qi flowed through, the toxicity was directly dispersed by the heat.

The skin didn't even turn red; instead, it felt warm.

Lin Mo became increasingly satisfied with the tests.

This amazing skill is practically tailor-made to save money.

He recalled taking a side job in an abandoned parking garage a few days ago, and how the new pair of shoes he had bought for 129 yuan had been tainted by the stench of corpses, which had made him feel heartbroken for days.

In the past, when we encountered those filthy things, we could only use our century-old internal energy to force them out.

Not only does it waste vital energy, it also easily ruins clothes.

Now, with the protection of the Nine Yangs, the supreme Yang energy can overcome all Yin, evil, and poisonous miasma.

From now on, when we take on those dirty jobs anywhere, the cleaning fees will still be reimbursed, and the losses will be reduced.

What you save is pure profit.

Lin Mo stood under the tree, patted his clothes, and couldn't help but grin.

On the second-floor balcony of the villa, Lu Linglong had only come out to get some fresh air.

When he looked down, he saw Lin Mo standing by the woods, smiling as if he had just robbed a bank.

She stared at it for a few seconds, becoming increasingly uneasy.

This guy made 200,000 this morning, could he be so happy that he's having a mental breakdown?

A few minutes later, faint footsteps could be heard outside the woods.

Lu Linglong walked over unsteadily, holding a flashlight in one hand and a glass of juice in the other.

"Hey, Lin Mo, what are you doing laughing like an idiot in the woods so late at night instead of sleeping?"

She took a few steps closer and raised her hand to pat Lin Mo's shoulder.

Before my hand even touched the clothes, a warm, cozy feeling washed over me.

The breath wasn't hot, but it felt very comfortable.

It's like having a hot water bottle in your pocket in winter, or like suddenly finding a lamp on a dark road.

Lu Linglong froze, her hand hanging in mid-air.

She looked Lin Mo up and down with some surprise.

The feeling about this person seems to have changed.

Lin Mo used to be like an iron knife hidden in its sheath. Even though he usually looked like a money-grubbing office worker, once he drew his sword, he could send chills down your spine.

But now, that dangerous sharpness seems to have been hidden even deeper.

He became peaceful and warm, standing there silently, yet giving people a sense of inexplicable peace.

Lu Linglong originally came to catch him slacking off, but when that warmth came over her, her anger suddenly dissipated by more than half.

Her heart skipped a beat for no reason.

"Lin Mo".

Lu Linglong withdrew her hand, bit her lip, and asked directly, "Do you... still have a lot of hidden strength?"

Lin Mo instantly withdrew his true energy, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all.

"Ms. Lu, questions about my personal abilities are a matter of employee privacy."

Lu Linglong rolled her eyes, and was about to kick him, but she held back.

She stared at Lin Mo for a few seconds, then lowered her voice, "Don't always act recklessly on your own. If something really happens, who will know?"

The smile on Lin Mo's face faded slightly.

He glanced at Lu Linglong, then quickly resumed his professional tone, though his voice was much more serious than usual.

"Don't worry, Miss Lu."

"At least during the contract period, with me around, no one can get past me and hurt you."

The grove was quiet for a moment.

Lu Linglong's cheeks flushed instantly, and she immediately turned her head away, stammering, "Who...who told you to say that..."

Lin Mo adjusted his non-existent glasses and said seriously, "This is the bodyguard's job description. Without this sentence, it's easy to get complaints about inadequate service."

Lu Linglong remained silent for two seconds, her ears turning even redder.

Then, gritting her teeth, she forced out, "Lin Mo, you're a real bastard!"
