However, Lin Mo immediately cast aside the thoughts in his mind. Matters from ten thousand years ago and the secrets hidden on Earth, he didn't want to understand too much. What was most important now was to rest well and return directly to Huaxia.

"Having been away from Huaxia for such a long time, Meng Die and Father must be very worried." Lin Mo sat cross-legged on the bed, thinking to himself.

However, he needed to refine the Five Elements Soul Gathering Pill for his mother. Currently, he had only collected the Flame Spirit and Mu Ling, two attributes of extremely pure materials. The Earth, Water, and Gold attributes still needed to be found.

"I hope to acquire one or two types of other attribute pure materials at the advanced auction."

Currently, Lin Mo wasn't lacking in money at all. Having obtained two million top-grade spiritual stones from the Eastern Emperor Bell, it was more abundant than the total assets of some sects accumulated over millennia. As long as the auction had something, he was determined to buy it.

The most crucial issue was getting an entry ticket for such an advanced auction. Even the Four Great Martial Arts Schools and the Beiyao Sect couldn't manage to obtain one.

"There's not much time until the advanced auction. I should wait until I return to Huaxia to ask Ye Beichen or Mu Lihong about the entry ticket. Whether snatching or buying, I need to get one."

After organizing his thoughts, Lin Mo finally closed his eyes, calming his mind and focusing internally on his Dantian.

In the endless dark Dantian, besides the Flame Spirit and Mu Ling, a red and green energy mass hovered within the Dantian, alongside a group of Star Plates.

Six Star Powers were connected by dazzling silk threads, forming a strange design that faintly exuded an ancient and eternal aura.

The formation of these six Star Powers now was entirely different from before. If the previous formation was a flat diagram, the current one had become a three-dimensional shape.

"Amazing, who would have thought Star Power could be used like this." A smile rose at the corner of Lin Mo's mouth. Thinking of this, Lin Mo used his Divine Thought to control the Space Ring, placing one million Starlights into his Dantian, where they densely floated, drawn by the magical power of the Star Power, starting to form a vortex, constantly absorbing the floating

Star Power.

Without needing human manipulation or training, these Starlights could automatically condense into Star Power!

"Although I don't need to deliberately cultivate, saving much time, my luck has always been bad when it comes to condensing the seventh Star Power. I estimate at least ten million Starlights are needed."

Lin Mo thought, currently having ten billion Starlights in his Space Ring. Ten million Starlights were a small amount, but his body couldn't temporarily consume and accommodate ten million Starlights; he must strengthen his training.

Even after the Heavenly Secret Silver quenched his muscles and the Sky-reaching Giant Snake Essence Blood refined his skin, he could barely accommodate one million Starlights.

The strange energy emitted by the Star Power in the Dantian was constantly reinforcing and transforming cells. Even so, he felt that he could now endure the power of two million Starlights at most.

"Last time after slaying the Sky-reaching Giant Snake, I received eight portions of Sky-reaching Giant Snake Essence Blood, used three, and now I have five left. Now I should try it!"

Lin Mo opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing through his pupils. Five portions of Sky-reaching Giant Snake Essence Blood, the Essence Blood of a Moon Wheel Realm Fierce Beast; each portion could increase the capacity by 80,000 Starlights, using all five, it could only increase the capacity by 400,000 Starlights.

Lin Mo shook his head and sighed. Wealth, companions, methods, land; wealth is the first, and this is the reason.

"Five portions of Sky-reaching Giant Snake Essence Blood could sell for at least 3,000 top-grade spiritual stones but only increase the capacity by 400,000 Starlights."

"To condense the seventh Star Power, I still need eight million capacities, at least spending six thousand top-grade spiritual stones."

While thinking, Lin Mo didn't remain still, guiding the five portions of Sky-reaching Giant Snake Essence Blood to form strands of blood, wrapping around his body. Each crimson blood was like flames, burning with a scorching sensation upon his skin.

As he continuously absorbed the Fierce Beast Essence Blood, his skin emitted intense heat, undergoing transformation, but this change gradually diminished over time until it almost had no effect.

"What's happening?"

Lin Mo opened his eyes in surprise.

The Essence Blood on his body was entirely absorbed and refined by the skin, with some black impurities emerging on the skin surface. Such quenching naturally aimed to remove impurities, continually eliminating weaker skin cells and strengthening some powerful cells.

"By the fourth portion, the power essentially halved, and by the fifth, there was no feeling at all?"

Lin Mo frowned, then suddenly realized.

With his current strength, the Sky-reaching Giant Snake's Essence Blood was hardly effective for refining. Even after absorbing five portions of Fierce Beast Essence Blood, the capacity only increased by 300,000 Starlights.

With time, the requirements for Fierce Beast Essence Blood became increasingly higher.

"Do I need to slay Fierce Beasts of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox level to get effective Essence Blood?" Lin Mo shook his head.

At this time, a strand of splendid faint gold light had already appeared in the room.

Lin Mo had been sitting in the room for a whole night, and the sky outside had turned a pale white.

"It seems that I should take some time to go to Han Country and hunt the Nine-tailed Demon Fox." Lin Mo clenched his fists, full of confidence, and seemingly possessed of a powerful trump card.

"Mr. Lin, where are we going now?" The Divine Thought of Zhen Yuanzi appeared in Lin Mo's mind.

"Let's return to Huaxia first. More information is needed to collect the pure materials; otherwise, searching aimlessly would be like a headless fly." Lin Mo stood up and spoke calmly.

"Alright, Mr. Lin, I need to go into seclusion for a while." Zhen Yuanzi said.

"Okay, you go into seclusion and cultivate. I won't call you unless it's something important." Lin Mo nodded and transmitted through Divine Thought.

Soon after.

Lin Mo left the hotel and walked onto the bustling street. It was winter, and the air carried snowflakes, bringing a slight chill.

Of course, Lin Mo's thin casual outfit quickly drew the attention of many passersby.

Lin Mo headed towards a small side alley and found a secluded spot to use the Invisibility Technique, intending to fly back to Huaxia directly.

As he turned the corner into the alley, a sudden scream rang out.

"Help, help!"

At the not-so-wide alley entrance, a girl with long black hair in a goose-yellow coat was rushing towards Lin Mo's direction. Behind her, a few bodyguards in black clothes and pants were swiftly approaching, almost catching the girl!

"Help!"

The girl saw the black-haired, black-eyed young man standing ahead, showing a panicked expression, and directly ran into Lin Mo.

Lin Mo stood like a pillar, completely unmoving.

The girl, on the other hand, felt like she had collided with a tree trunk, rubbing her slightly hurting forehead and arm.

"Miss Zhang, please don't make this difficult for us. Come back with us!"

Four bodyguards had run up close, slowed down, and were staring at the girl in a goose-yellow down jacket.

"I won't go back. Tell Huang Zhengpeng that if he keeps pushing me, I will die!"

The girl in the goose-yellow down jacket turned her head and said fiercely.

At this moment.

Lin Mo finally saw her clearly—over twenty, oval face, cheeks slightly rosy from the cold, quite pretty, with lively eyes carrying a hint of Spirit Energy.

"Miss Zhang, no matter what, you have to come back with us today, or we won't be able to explain to Mr. Huang!"

The lead bodyguard said with a stern face and a cold voice.

"I'm not going back with you. I don't want to see Huang Zhengpeng." The girl shook her head vigorously like a rattle.

Lin Mo's sword-like eyebrows furrowed. He had no intention to get involved in this matter and was ready to turn and leave.

"Hey kid, we're talking to you. Help us catch Miss Zhang!"

Suddenly, a bodyguard shouted at Lin Mo sharply.

Lin Mo stopped his steps, turned his head, and his eyes were as sharp as swords.

The four bodyguards instantly felt a chill from head to toe, as if they were being watched by a ferocious beast.

"What the hell are you looking at? We're talking to you." The bodyguard was momentarily stunned, then shook his head, thinking it was an illusion. After all, they were professionally trained elites, how could they be afraid of an ordinary young man?

"Noisy!"

Lin Mo extended his right palm, sending four transparent strands of sword energy shooting from his palm, striking the four bodyguards' shoulders, and instantly knocking them back, heavily crashing them to the ground and spitting blood.

The four bodyguards' faces turned pale, their eyes revealing a look of horror.

"He's a Grandmaster-level Martial Artist, run!"

The four bodyguards didn't even think of capturing Miss Zhang, clutching their chests as they crawled up, hurriedly stumbling and running back the way they came.

"You, you're a Martial Artist?" The girl in the goose-yellow down jacket looked up, her bright and vivid eyes gleaming as she looked at Lin Mo.

Nowadays, Martial Artists are no secret on Earth; almost everyone knows about them.

Lin Mo ignored her, preparing to turn and leave, when suddenly he heard another sharp sound, screeching.

A red sports car with streamlined contours stopped at the alley entrance. Immediately, a woman in a long black down jacket with a flawless make-up face quickly opened the car door, got out, and walked towards them with raised eyebrows.

"Xiao Ling, are you alright? Where are those people?" The woman walked up, directly ignoring Lin Mo, anxiously asking the girl in the goose-yellow coat.

"He drove them all away. He's a Martial Artist and really powerful." The girl's little face showed some excitement, pointing at Lin Mo.

"I'm Zhang Douling. What's your name, mister?" The girl in the goose-yellow down jacket asked curiously.

"Lin Mo."

Lin Mo responded indifferently.

After speaking, Lin Mo turned and continued walking forward.

The woman in the black down jacket faintly frowned as well, ignoring Lin Mo, and said to Chen Douling: "Did Huang Zhengpeng send people to harass you again? Tonight, when we visit the Shen Family, I'll ask Young Master Shen for help to see if we can break your engagement with Huang Zhengpeng." Lin Mo, three meters away, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Stay tuned for more excitement tomorrow, with more chapters to come.
