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

In the center of the field, Zhang Lingyu slowly stood up from the grass.

His white Taoist robe was stained with some grass clippings, and his face was somewhat pale because his true qi had been greatly depleted, but his eyes were clearer than before.

Zhang Lingyu took a deep breath to calm the surging Qi within her body.

He walked up to Lin Mo, his tone completely unpretentious.

"Mr. Lin, Lingyu has accepted it."

"I was just looking at the sky from the bottom of a well. Your movement techniques and cultivation are unfathomable, and your protective Qi is simply impeccable."

"After several exchanges, I have used all my strength, but I still can't even touch the hem of your clothes."

"Not only that, your control is incredibly subtle. Thank you for going easy on me!"

The disciples of the Celestial Master's Mansion on the sidelines all fell silent.

The shock of Junior Uncle admitting defeat was even greater than being blasted away earlier.

Rong Shan opened his mouth, stroked his chin, and muttered, "This kid is really something, he actually managed to make Ling Yu submit like this."

Lin Mo patted his sleeves, put on a professional smile again, and calmly waved his hand, saying, "Master Lingyu, you're too kind. This is a commercial service, and since we've taken the money, ensuring the customer's experience is my job."

"Your foundation is actually very good. You have a solid grasp of the Golden Light Mantra and are also skilled in Yin Five Thunders."

"It's because my habits of exerting force are too rigid, and I'm also under pressure mentally."

Zhang Lingyu's expression shifted, and she earnestly asked, "Mr. Lin, how should I revise it?"

Lin Mo raised his hand and held up three fingers.

"First, when you get close, don't rush to unleash your full power in one go. Leave some room for maneuver so you can change your moves."

"Second, don't be greedy when practicing the Golden Light Transformation. First, practice local strengthening, such as explosive power in small areas like the elbows, shoulders, and knees."

"Third, don't always think about suppressing people with Yin Five Thunder. The more you reject it, the more it will hold you back. No matter how strong the moves are, if your mindset can't keep up, the power will be halved."

Zhang Lingyu frowned upon hearing this, then nodded slowly as if he had found a treasure: "Mr. Lin's words are indeed to the point."

"I vaguely sensed these problems when I was practicing in the past, but I just couldn't find the right way to solve them."

Lin Mo chuckled and replied, "If you follow my targeted training method, your progress will definitely be a qualitative leap. However..."

He skillfully took out his phone and brought up the payment code interface. "The follow-up is for in-depth guidance and is not included in the basic service scope of this 10,000 yuan."

"If you find it effective, we not only offer one-time guidance sessions, but also support membership card applications."

"A single visit pass costs 10,000 yuan. If you buy a ten-visit pass, I'll give you a 10% discount."

"Ninety thousand yuan, enough for ten high-quality stress-relief training sessions. What do you say?"

The reverence and emotion that had just arisen in Zhang Lingyu suddenly caught in her throat.

Lu Linglong, sitting on the sidelines, rubbed her forehead, her ears burning for him. She couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "Lin Mo, could you please not start pushing your product right after someone's just finished being moved?"

Lin Mo turned to look at her with a serious expression: "Boss, this is called seizing the window of opportunity for customer demand."

"If we miss this emotional peak, the conversion rate will drop."

Lu Linglong's lips twitched violently: "You're quite professional."

"Thank you for your recognition." Lin Mo nodded slightly and looked at Zhang Lingyu again.

Zhang Lingyu looked down and touched the empty pockets of his Taoist robe, a hint of embarrassment appearing on his face.

He is indeed a high-ranking official of the Celestial Master's Mansion, but he is definitely not a rich second-generation.

The disciples of the Celestial Master's Mansion, who only have a small monthly allowance, could hardly afford a huge sum of 90,000 yuan.

He hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously turned his head, looking at his master with anticipation and longing in his eyes.

His gaze was restrained, but the meaning couldn't be clearer:

Master, I want to improve, but I have no money.

Zhang Zhiwei froze in his beard-stroking motion as his apprentice stared at him, and his lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

He was just pleased that his apprentice had made progress, but in the blink of an eye, the progress now required payment.

In the ensuing silence, Zhang Zhiwei glanced at Lin Mo's payment code held up in mid-air and sighed, "Young friend Lin Mo, we're practically acquaintances. Can't you offer a discount? Only 10%?"

Lin Mo looked very serious, showing no mercy, and put on a troubled expression: "Old Master, this is already the best discount I can offer out of respect for Elder Lu."

"Under normal circumstances, for high-quality clients like Master Lingyu, I would have to charge a special diagnosis fee and a surgical technique adaptation fee."

"Even during our sparring session just now, didn't I point out Master Lingyu's psychological resistance and help him relax?"

"I've included the psychological counseling fee in the 10% discount. It's a fixed price, no bargaining, no credit, and I'm fair to everyone, young and old."

Zhang Lingyu's face stiffened, and she silently lowered her head.

Rongshan almost burst out laughing from behind.

Zhang Zhiwei rubbed his forehead, then turned to look at Lu Jin, who was grinning from ear to ear.

"Old Lu, Old Lu. Did you bring him to Longhu Mountain to support me, or were you just here to make money off me?"

"One hundred thousand yuan! That's more than half a year's worth of my secret savings!"

Lu Jin snorted coldly, crossed her arms, and stepped forward defiantly to confront him: "Old Zhang, I don't like hearing that! How can this guy be so stingy?"

"Who was it that just now gave me that stingy look and insisted that I pay for that meager vegetarian meal at your Celestial Master's Mansion canteen?"

"What's wrong with letting you bleed a little now?"

"Besides, it's an honor for your disciple to receive one-on-one guidance from an expert of Lin Mo's caliber, isn't it?"

"Look at Lingyu's eyes now, she's sober now after the beating."

"Ninety thousand yuan saved your apprentice a year of hard work, you've hit the jackpot! If you don't pay, what will you do when your apprentice gets beaten up at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?"

Zhang Zhiwei was so angry he laughed: "So, I should thank you?"

"You're welcome, we're like brothers." Lu Jin smiled smugly.

Zhang Zhiwei was rendered speechless by the rebuttal.

He glanced at Zhang Lingyu, knowing that the opportunity for such a genius to be awakened from his self-imposed constraints was priceless. He took a deep breath, slowly pulled out a smartphone he had only recently bought from his wide sleeves, and opened WeChat.

"Alright, alright, I give up. Scan the code."

"Beep!" Lin Mo's phone immediately rang with a crisp notification sound.

"Received 90,000 yuan via WeChat!"

Upon hearing the sound of the money arriving in his account, Lin Mo's face instantly lit up with a smile, his attitude comparable to that of a five-star hotel lobby manager, and his entire demeanor changed.

"The old Celestial Master is truly magnanimous!"

Lin Mo quickly put away his phone and turned to instruct, "Master Lingyu, the ten-session card has been added to your account. I will create a personalized training file for you."

"You can contact me anytime you want to spar with me later."

"Of course, if you want to upgrade to the premium version, you can pay the difference at any time. If it's a door-to-door service, we'll calculate the transportation and travel expenses separately."

Zhang Lingyu nodded emphatically as if he had found a treasure, but then felt somewhat overwhelmed by the rapid-fire attacks. He could only turn to Zhang Zhiwei and bow respectfully: "Thank you for your guidance, Master. This disciple will certainly cultivate diligently!"

"Alright, alright."

Zhang Zhiwei painfully put his phone down, waved his hand, and said, "As long as you gain something, the money has already been spent, so it wasn't wasted."

He then turned to look at Lu Jin, his tone carrying a hint of annoyance, as if he wanted to shoo him away: "Old Lu, the show's over, the fight's over, and you've made your money."

"I won't keep you here on the mountain for a free meal. Hurry up and leave."

Lu Jin laughed heartily, not minding the ungrateful attitude at all: "Alright, this trip down the mountain was quite pleasant!"

"Lin Mo, Linglong, let's go! Old Zhang, let's have some more fun when the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony starts later."

"You'd better not bring too much of a commotion," Zhang Zhiwei said, his lips twitching.

The three turned and left. Lu Linglong walked up to Zhang Lingyu and waved, "Good luck, Master Lingyu!"

Lin Mo then politely offered a final piece of after-sales advice: "Master Lingyu, remember not to practice on your own, it's easy to go astray. If you have any problems, send a message first."

"Remember, text consultations are free for the first ten minutes; consultations exceeding ten minutes will be charged at the online consultant rate."

Zhang Lingyu's initial gratitude was quickly suppressed, and she could only manage to utter a single word: "...Okay."

Lu Linglong grabbed Lin Mo's sleeve and quickly dragged him outside: "Let's go, let's go. If you keep talking, the Old Master will really block you."

Lin Mo was dragged away with a straight face: "No, good customers usually don't block service providers."

Watching the three figures walk away, the pain on Zhang Zhiwei's face gradually subsided, and his gaze, stroking his long beard, became incredibly profound.

Zhang Lingyu stood to the side, bowing her head apologetically: "Master, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Zhang Zhiwei shook his head, his tone calm yet protective: "Why are you saying that? Your master is, after all, a Celestial Master, and I still have some retirement money."

"The important question is, was today's beating worth it?"

"Worth it! And quite a lot."

Zhang Lingyu nodded solemnly, "Every word Mr. Lin just said hit the nail on the head regarding my shortcomings."

"I used to think that Yin Wu Lei was a stain, and the more I practiced it, the more suppressed I became. Only today do I realize that the more I suppressed it, the more sluggish my attacks became. His true Qi is truly terrifying."

"If there's any gain, then it's not a loss." Zhang Zhiwei smiled with satisfaction.

At this moment, Rong Shan slowly pushed Tian Jinzhong, who was sitting in a wheelchair, over.

Looking towards the mountain path, Tian Jinzhong couldn't help but exclaim, "Where did Old Lu find such a prodigy in this kid?"

"Such extraordinary talent is simply unheard of! Even you, senior brother, at this age, would probably not have been inferior, right?"

Rong Shan, listening from the side, stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief: "Uncle Tian, ​​what did you say? He's almost as good as Master was in his youth?"

"Lin Mo is too amazing! If I have the chance next time, even if I have to save up the money myself, I have to try and get him to help me!"

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at him and said irritably, "Do you even have money? Before you save up enough, work on your studies first!"

"That child's foundation is frighteningly strong, and the pure and domineering pure Yang Qi in his body is far beyond your reach."

"You guys go have fun by yourselves."

Rong Shan's expression froze, and he scratched his head awkwardly.

He then took his leave along with Zhang Lingyu and the other disciples of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

Zhang Zhiwei walked behind the wheelchair and pushed Tian Jinzhong slowly along the path towards the main hall.

A mountain breeze blew, and Tian Jinzhong lowered his voice: "Senior brother, yesterday you talked to the Ten Elders about the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony. Those old guys didn't actually cause you any trouble. You could say it went smoothly?"

Zhang Zhiwei walked steadily, a meaningful smile curving his lips.

"This is also thanks to the unusual thundercloud phenomenon that suddenly appeared on the back mountain yesterday afternoon."

"If everyone didn't believe that Longhu Mountain had a peerless senior who could ascend to immortality at any moment to keep things in check, how could those old foxes like Lü Ci and Wang Ai have so easily given in to the rules?"

Tian Jinzhong asked doubtfully, "But our Celestial Master's Mansion actually has a master who can ascend to immortality? Senior brother, do you really think that senior is still on the mountain?"

Zhang Zhiwei sighed softly: "Who knows? Maybe it's some reclusive master who has long since retreated from the world."

"Whether the master is on the mountain or not is not important. What is important is that everyone felt that he revealed his aura at the crucial moment."

"In any case, this senior has done me a great favor, and I must remember this kindness."

Zhang Zhiwei's face was solemn. He never imagined that the "ascended senior" he was so eager to thank was the one he was so grateful to.

He was happily walking down the mountain along the back path, holding the 90,000 yuan he had just paid by scanning a QR code.

……

On the other side, on the way down the mountain.

Lu Jin was in a great mood, with his hands behind his back, walking with a swagger.

"That felt great! Today was so much fun!"

"Lin Mo, you really made me look good today. Getting that stingy old man Zhang Zhiwei to pull out 90,000 yuan in public—I can brag about that for a year!"

Lin Mo followed behind, also beaming as he swiped his phone to check his balance: "Of course, you should know who's providing the service."

"It's mainly because the client led the way well."

Making 90,000 yuan on a business trip – where else can you find such an amazing life?

As Lin Mo walked up the stone steps, he couldn't help but compare his current life with his previous life.

In his past life, he worked overtime in an office building until late at night every day, earning a little over five thousand yuan a month.

After deducting the high rent and utilities, and then disregarding commuting and takeout expenses, you'd be lucky to have eight or nine hundred yuan left at the end of the month.

Buying a house is just a dream. Even if I have a cold or fever, I don't dare to take time off to go to the hospital for fear of losing my perfect attendance record and having my performance bonus deducted.

Now look at this world of supernatural beings. An ordinary college graduate can't even earn three thousand yuan a month for an internship, and after deducting rent and food expenses, they still have to pay out of pocket.

Just thinking about those miserable days made Lin Mo feel suffocated.

And now?

Base salary of 100,000, meals and accommodation included.

I work from 9 to 5 and never work overtime.

Most importantly, the employer has an extremely strong family tradition; they are wealthy, protective of their own, upright, and a good person.

The person being protected is a cheerful and easy-going young woman.

You can easily get big orders from companies like NaDuTong and earn extra money just by going out.

If you check in on time every day, the system will give you all kinds of top-level divine skills for free.

This isn't just work, it's the beginning of a blissful life!

Lin Mo put his phone back in his pocket, his eyes bright and determined.

The Luotian Grand Ceremony is about to officially begin, and extraordinary people from all over the world will gather at Longhu Mountain.

Those high-risk ATMs from Quanxing will definitely join in the fun; it's like there are walking banknotes everywhere.

He had a clear plan in mind: "If I manage things properly, I'm determined to earn enough for a down payment on a river-view penthouse in Longhu Mountain during this Luotian Grand Ceremony."

"If more members of the Quanxing faction come, we might just storm the detached villa!"

Just as the three of them reached the parking lot at the foot of the mountain and were about to open the car door...

"Buzzing—"

Lin Mo's new cell phone suddenly vibrated violently, the urgent ringing breaking the tranquility at the foot of the mountain.

He took out his phone and saw an unfamiliar number flashing on the screen.

Lin Mo's brows twitched slightly. His professional habit as an outsourced employee kicked in, and he quietly turned on the call recording button before answering.

"Hello, who is this?"

Immediately, a man's anxious, heavy-breathed voice came from the other end of the phone, and in the background, you could even hear the piercing "beep beep" of the equipment in the hospital's emergency room.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Lin Mo? I'm Xu Si from the North China region of Nadutong!"

Xu Si's voice sounded quite grave: "Mr. Lin, my father, Xu Xiang, has suffered a complete flare-up of his old injuries and has suddenly fallen into a coma and been admitted to the emergency room!"

"Before he passed out, he told me he wanted to call you!"

Lin Mo's hand, which was gripping the car door, suddenly stopped, and he looked surprised.

Is Xu Xiang in critical condition?

The old man coughed up blood when we caught the mole a few days ago, but it wasn't to this extent.

On the phone, Xu Si took a deep breath: "Mr. Lin, my father said you previously massaged his meridians. I'd like to ask you, could you come and save the old man!"

"I'll pay any price to save him!"
