"Although the time was short and we were unable to obtain too much information, we also collected some basic information. Among them was a character named 'Lin Mo'. He served as the Qingming Guard of Tianyuan City hundreds of years ago. I wonder if it is convenient. Is it you?"
Fairy Xiaofeng said softly.
The old man in green robe was shocked when he heard this.
Whether it is the fact that Lin Mo was a member of Tianyuan City in his early years, or the miracle that a Qingming Guard was promoted to a combined monk in just a few hundred years, this man from Tianyuan City was shocked. The elder was extremely shocked.
"Haha, the reputation of the Zhenling Family is indeed worthy of its name. It only took a few years to find out Lin's origin. Indeed, I was once the Tianyuan Guard of Tianyuan City, but I was just completing a mission. After completing this mission, he regained his freedom and left Tianyuan City." Lin Mo's expression changed slightly, but then he replied as before.
"Then the person being pursued by both the Long family and the Ye family is you, Senior Lin." The young woman said doubtfully.
"Ye family, Long family? What do they want from me?" Lin Mo's eyes were sharp and his face was stern.
"The Ye family has been searching for you for more than a hundred years, and finally gave up. The Long family, as the first true spirit family, has still not withdrawn the search order for you. In recent years, the relationship between the Ye family and the Long family has been tense. , although there was no large-scale conflict, there was constant friction. It was from then on that the two families began to look for you," the young woman explained meaningfully.
Lin Mo frowned and thought, but did not respond.
"Your Excellency was once the Qingming Guard of Tianyuan City? This matter is quite unexpected. However, because of this, Qi told me directly. This time Qi came here to actually invite you to return to Tianyuan City. "The old man in green robe coughed and said frankly.
"Is what Brother Qi said an invitation to join Tianyuan City again?" Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and answered calmly.
"Exactly. Qi was entrusted by the Presbyterian Council and sincerely invites you to join this city. With your cultivation in the integration period, you can immediately become a member of the Presbyterian Council. In terms of treatment, you should have already received it when you were in Tianyuan City. Understood. No need for Qi to elaborate," Qi Xubing said seriously.
"This matter..."
Lin Mo fell into thinking and did not express his position immediately.
Seeing this, the young woman rolled her eyes and said softly:
"Senior Qi has spoken respectfully. As the head of the Gu family, I have the same wish. I am willing to invite senior to join the Gu family and serve as the Supreme Guest Elder. In addition to generous treatment, the Gu family will never interfere with senior's daily behavior."
Fairy Xiaofeng’s words were astonishing, and the conditions were even more tempting.
The expression of the old man in green robe changed slightly, but it was inconvenient to accuse him.
After all, although the young woman only cultivates in the Void Realm, as the head of the Zhongzhenling family, she has a high status that no one dares to despise.
The old man hesitated for a moment, but still sincerely advised Lin Mo:
"Combined-stage monks of the human and demon races are extremely rare. Except for this city, it is difficult for many fused-stage monks to live together in the Three Sovereigns and Seven Lands. Members of the Presbyterian Council in this city often exchange their cultivation experiences with each other. If you join, you will definitely benefit. More. Furthermore, the Presbyterian Church often The opportunity to jointly go to the wild world to hunt ancient beasts is unparalleled. Please consider it carefully. Qi really hopes that you will join us."
Lin Mo's face showed a slight shock, and there was actually a few. Distracted.
“Although there is only one Supreme Elder of the Integration Stage guarding our Gu family, as one of the True Spirit families, we have a unique method of applying and driving True Spirit blood. It is reported that Senior Lin is making a breakthrough The transformation of the mountain giant ape was revealed at the bottleneck of the integration. It is known that there is no true human family that has inherited the mountain giant ape's transformation. Bloodline. Therefore, it is speculated that the senior obtained the bloodline of the true spirit from the non-human world. If the senior is willing to join the Gu family, I can teach the technique of refining and driving the true spirit bloodline, and promises that after ten thousand years, if the senior wants to establish another true spirit. The Ling family and the Gu family have no objections and will give their full support. “The young woman’s sincere words are also her biggest bargaining chip for this action.
When the old man in green robe learned that Lin Mo had True Spirit bloodline, he was quite shocked; when he heard the conditions proposed by the young woman, his expression suddenly changed.
“The new True Spirit Family!” Lin Mo’s eyes flashed, and he was equally surprised in his heart.
"Exactly. With your senior's magical powers and inherited true spirit bloodline, how dare the Gu family allow you to serve as the supreme elder of the Gu family only in vain. You only need to serve as the supreme elder of the Gu family within ten thousand years. After ten thousand years, the Gu family will help your senior to establish another Zhenling Family. Otherwise, even though the seniors are extremely powerful, it is not difficult to establish a family on their own, but the major families will have to divide their interests, and the addition of a new family will inevitably affect the distribution of interests. "Young woman. Explain with a smile.
Lin Mo touched his beard and fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Elder Qi looked helpless.
Lin Mo has not responded yet, but it is obvious that he will not choose to join Tianyuan City.
The young woman from the Gu family looked calm on the outside, but she was full of worries in her heart. She wondered whether Lin Mo could accept her generous conditions.
Many high-ranking monks are not keen on building families or influence.
Some ascetics focus on cultivation and do not want to be bound by anything.
Otherwise, after Tianyuan City lost the monks in the integration stage, it would not be so difficult to recruit new people in the land of Three Sovereigns and Seven Realms.
"I heard that the Tianmiao Spirit Emperor among the Three Emperors has recently passed away, and the new Spirit Emperor will be selected in the Holy Cultivation Competition a hundred years later. Is this true?" Lin Mo thought for a long time and suddenly asked, so Qi Xubing and Fairy Xiaofeng were both surprised.
"That's true. The new Spiritual Emperor will select a fellow Taoist in the integration stage in the Great Holy Cultivation Competition a hundred years later. Is Fellow Taoist Lin interested in this matter?" The green-robed old man responded after a long while, Looks weird.
"Don't you have the right to participate in the selection of the Spirit Emperor?" Lin Mo smiled lightly and answered easily.
“All human monks above the integration stage have the right to compete for the position of Spiritual Emperor, but the previous positions of Spiritual Emperor are basically obtained by those who have achieved perfection in the later stages of integration. Occasionally, mid-stage monks obtain it, and they must possess extraordinary supernatural powers. . However, the early examples of monks assuming the position of Holy Emperor have not appeared since the human race established itself in the spiritual world." The old man's expression returned to normal and he smiled helplessly.
"Senior Lin possesses the blood of the true spirit, and his magical powers are naturally extremely powerful. However, if you want to seek the position of Spirit Emperor, you may be a little too eager. More than a hundred years will only allow you to adapt to the new realm and magical powers, and it may be difficult for you to do so. Compete with the strong ones in the middle and late stages." After taking a deep breath, the young woman persuaded in a gentle tone.
"How dare Lin be arrogant and think that he can seize the position of Spirit Emperor after joining the body for the first time. The Spirit Emperor Competition will definitely bring together many monks of the same level. Lin participated in it with the aim of making friends and learning from each other. It was difficult for Lin to accept the kind invitation from the two fellow Taoists. I didn't like to stay in one place for a long time, and I didn't want to be too involved in cause and effect, so I declined. However, Lin was very interested in the Zhenling family's techniques of refining and driving the Zhenling blood. If Fairy Xiaofeng was willing, she was willing to offer her treasures or gifts. Exchanging skills. I wonder what the fairy wants?" Lin Mo's eyes flashed and he spoke in surprise.
Hearing Lin Mo's request, Gu Xiaofeng seemed quite stunned. She stared at Lin Mo, doubts and hesitation flashing in her eyes. After a while, she shook her head slightly and replied firmly: "Senior Lin, the Gu family's true spirit blood refining technique is a family secret, so I can't teach you. Even if you come up with a more attractive offer, I will Unable to agree. Unless..." Lin Mo smiled lightly and interrupted her: "In that case, there is no need to mention the matter of the Gu family. As for other forces, Lin has no intention of joining this time. And returned.”
Gu Xiaofeng sighed helplessly and said no more. Qi Xubing frowned and did not mention the invitation again. In the following time, the three of them focused on discussing the way to practice, and the awkward atmosphere gradually dissipated.
After a few hours, the two said goodbye. Although Lin Mo tried his best to retain them, the two of them had already made up their mind, so he had to send them outside the mansion in person.
Soon after, two rays of light cut through the sea of fog, and the figures of the old man in green robes and Gu Xiaofeng appeared. Gu Xiaofeng smiled and greeted the old man and asked: "Senior Qi, should we return?"
The old man thought for a moment and replied: "Fellow Taoist Xiaofeng, please do it. I have other things to do, so I won't leave for now. Return to Tianyuan City. It is said that there is a monk in Xuanwu who has just entered the integration stage. Although he has been invited by the Overlord, I still want to visit him."
Gu Xiaofeng nodded slightly, saluted the old man, and then turned into a silver rainbow and flew away. The old man watched him go away, then took out a green flying boat and drove away.
In a moment, tranquility returned to this place. However, only half an hour later, a silver rainbow appeared on the horizon again, and Gu Xiaofeng turned back again. She looked calm and whispered a few words, and the sea of fog immediately opened a passage. Gu Xiaofeng entered it without hesitation, and the sea of fog closed again.
Two hours later, a passage appeared again in the sea of fog, and a silver rainbow flew out of it and disappeared into the distance.
At the same moment, Lin Mo was sitting quietly in the cave hall, holding a silver-white jade medal in his hand, stroking the delicate surface of the jade medal attentively, frowning.
The jade plaque is crystal clear, with the word "Valley" engraved on one side, and a lifelike red image of three monsters on the other side, which resembles the legendary true spirit - Li Hou.
It is said that although Li Hou has a medium status among the true spirits, his three heads can control three completely different powers, and each power contains amazing magical powers.
These magical powers are not only extremely powerful in battle, but also have many wonderful uses in life and practice.
This jade plaque was given to Lin Mo by Fairy Xiaofeng after she visited again.
The Gu family inherits the bloodline of the true spirit Lihou.
Lin Mo was quite surprised by Fairy Xiaofeng's visit again, and her words kept replaying in his mind.
As soon as the fairy met, he handed the jade plaque to Lin Mo and proposed a tempting deal.
As long as Lin Mo temporarily joins the Gu family at the True Spirit Ceremony more than ten years later and plays a battle, he can be taught some of the Gu family's bloodline secrets.
As long as Lin Mo earns enough benefits for the Gu family, the fairy can promise to teach him these secret skills.
However, the fairy also made it clear that these secret techniques were not the core secrets of the Gu family, but were rare in the outside world, so they were willing to exchange them for Lin Mo's action.
Lin Mo couldn't help but be moved when he learned that he only needed to join the Gu family for a short period of time and only needed one shot.
Although he has mastered the art of refining blood in the Jingzhe Jue, this art was specially designed for the Feiling Tribe and is still insufficient for humans.
Before he was promoted to merge, he didn't notice anything strange. However, during nearly a year of steady cultivation, he unexpectedly discovered that the true spirit blood, which he originally thought had been completely refined, still had many mysterious traces left, quietly hidden in his body.
This discovery shocked him and he immediately launched in-depth research.
The results show that with his current strength, he can still suppress these true blood remnants, but if he continues to absorb the blood of other true spirits, it may cause an unknown crisis.
Either the remnants of the true blood come back to bite the body, or the transformation technique of the Jingzhe Jue can no longer be used.
Therefore, in the near future, he was looking for a solution while consolidating his cultivation during the integration period.
Because of this, Lin Mo was extremely interested when Fairy Xiaofeng mentioned the Gu family's true spirit blood refining operation.
Although the refining techniques of the major families cannot directly help him completely refine the remnants of true blood, they undoubtedly have extremely high reference value.
If he had not learned the Jingzhe Art, simply relying on simple refining techniques would obviously not help. However, with the Jingzhe Jue as a reference, he only needed to find out the difference between the human refining technique and the Jingzhe Jue refining to resolve this hidden danger.
Even so, as mentioned before, he will not forcibly tie himself to the Gu family and accept the bondage for ten thousand years. And even if he cannot obtain the Gu family's refining technique, he will still find other ways to obtain similar refining techniques. However, doing so will inevitably cause certain troubles and may even cause conflicts with some True Spirit families.
When he heard the young woman's explanation about the True Spirit Ceremony, he only needed to compete with other monks from the True Spirit family in the ceremony to gain benefits for the Gu family, he readily agreed. Fairy Xiaofeng left happily.
The jade plaque in his hand is a symbol of his temporary status as an elder in the valley. After careful consideration and confirmation that there was nothing inappropriate, he put the matter behind him, returned to the secret room, and continued to stabilize his combined state.
During this period, several major forces came to visit one after another, including even the envoys of the Tianyuan Holy Emperor. Lin Mo knew it well, so he politely refused one by one. Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye.
One day three years later, Lin Mo walked out of the secret room and turned into a blue rainbow and disappeared into the cave. After a short period of retreat, he was confident that he had completely controlled the physical power, so he began to deal with the matters in his heart. Tianyuan City, which is closest to him, has naturally become his first choice destination.
The journey was uneventful. Two months later, Lin Mo's figure appeared on the wall of Tianyuan City. After thinking for a moment, he galloped away in a certain direction. The numerous pavilion buildings located between the two giant stone towers deep in Tianyuan City are well-known places that provide temporary accommodation for foreign monks.
The cultivators with low cultivation level and limited financial resources usually have to live in an attic with others; while the powerful monks in the Void Refining Stage can occupy an attic by themselves. One of the attics was occupied by four monks who had come together.
These four people are said to have extraordinary strength. They have lived here for more than a hundred years, and have been in and out of wild areas many times without any harm, so they are quite famous in Tianyuan City. However, in recent years, they rarely go out and spend most of their time practicing in the attic. (End of this chapter)
