This immortal was clearly ordinary, yet he was unusually confident.

Upon hearing this, the young man Lin Mo was immediately invigorated. He was familiar with the name, which would occasionally involuntarily surface in his mind.

Lin Bai and Lin Mo are half-brothers, born on the same day.

The difference is that Lin Bai was born to Lin Zixuan's legal wife, Wang Lingyue, while Lin Mo was born to his concubine, Zheng Wanru.

Several years ago, a mysterious person broke into the Yuanmo Sect and kidnapped Lin Bai and Lin Mo at the same time.

Lin Zixuan pursued the mysterious figure across thousands of miles, killing him in several states, but in the end only managed to rescue Lin Mo.

Lin Mo was so frightened that he fell seriously ill and lost his memory, unable to recall many things.

Previously, Lin Mokong had a good appearance and good physique, but he was dull and stupid. However, after that incident, he turned misfortune into blessing and became exceptionally intelligent.

As for Lin Bai, he was taken away by a mysterious man who was seriously injured, and his fate remains unknown.

Perhaps to save face, and also to avoid making Wang Lingyue too sad, Lin Zixuan ordered that no one in the sect be allowed to talk about the matter after returning to the sect.

Later, Lin Mo's birth mother, Zheng Wanru, died for some unknown reason, falling into a state of demonic possession, leaving behind the young Lin Mo.

Seeing his loneliness and the pain of losing his son, Wang Lingyue treated Lin Mo as her own son, doting on him and placing all her hopes on him.

Lin Mo did not disappoint everyone's expectations. He made great strides on his cultivation path and broke through to the Nirvana Realm at the young age of twenty, surpassing many of the sect's seniors in cultivation.

Even in the prosperous Central Plains, he could be considered a true "prodigy"!

At this moment, the old man's words made Lin Mo even more puzzled.

"What did you say? I'm Lin Mo. Didn't Lin Bai disappear a long time ago?"

Seeing that Lin Mo's expression did not seem fake, the old man temporarily withdrew the wine pot he was about to offer.

“I see. Lin Zixuan is really good to you, he actually sealed your memories.” The old man who raised the wine paused. “But now that you have entered the Nirvana Realm, the seal should have been lifted.”

“A seal?” Lin Mo pondered for a moment. “Since my Nirvana, I have indeed occasionally had a child’s memory appear in my sea of ​​consciousness, but it is very blurry. I always thought it was a fragment of memory from before that serious illness. Could there be another hidden story?”

The old man who was toasting found it both infuriating and laughable. Upon reflection, he realized that Lin Mo had indeed been involved in the matter and had reaped enormous benefits. However, he was just a child at the time, and perhaps he had no choice.

However, a moment later, the old man's expression turned cold. Afterwards, he carefully studied the forbidden technique and found that it would be impossible for Lin Mo to succeed if he was unwilling.

Such ruthlessness at such a young age, they really cannot be allowed to live!

"There's no point in saying more. If you continue your cultivation, you will know one day. However, you may not live to see that day. Of course, I can also tell you the truth when I destroy your soul."

The old man gently pulled the stopper off the wine gourd, and a strong aroma of wine wafted out. Instantly, the surroundings were enveloped in white mist.

Lin Mo formed a hand seal, and a ring-shaped magical artifact appeared in his hand. The artifact was entirely purple, with a sharp blade around the outside of the ring.

However, for some reason, a piece was missing from the ring, which helped to give the entire ritual implement a sense of imperfection.

"Purple Jade Ring! I haven't seen this magical artifact for many years. I didn't expect you to still have it."

The old man's voice, full of emotion, came from the mist, seemingly from all directions, seemingly very close, yet also very far away.

Lin Mo manipulated the purple jade rings to surround his body, protecting his vital points.

“These are my mother’s belongings, how can I throw them away? Besides, magical artifacts are just external objects. As long as one is strong enough, one can use any magical artifact.”

"Not bad, not bad. With such ambition, no wonder you can cultivate to such a level at such a young age! So you came to Cangzhou to find the lost piece of the Purple Jade Ring. I was wondering why you insisted on coming to this forbidden land for training. Activating a teleportation array is quite costly."

As soon as the toasting elder finished speaking, streaks of red light suddenly appeared in the mist, followed by a series of chilling roars. The ground shook as if something terrifying was approaching.

"Although your cultivation is higher than mine, we are both at the Nirvana Realm. Aren't you looking down on me too much? What can a few mere Mist Ghosts do to me?"

Lin Mo formed a hand seal, and the purple jade ring flew out with a "whoosh," leaving a fleeting afterimage as all the surrounding red light went out.

"Indeed, there are not many in the sect who can withstand the power of this attack alone. The Purple Jade Ring is not wasted in your hands. If it had not been damaged, I'm afraid I would have had to expend much more effort."

Although Lin Mo had succeeded in his attack, he dared not let his guard down for a moment, as his opponent's attack methods were far more than that.

The surrounding fog grew thicker and thicker, gradually condensing into water droplets. Then, countless droplets merged into one, instantly transforming into a water giant.

A red light flashed in the giant's eyes, and he clasped his hands together, forming a giant sword that then slashed at Lin Mo with unstoppable force.

Lin Mo quickly manipulated the Purple Jade Ring to block.

The moment the purple jade ring made contact with the giant sword, Lin Mo cried out in alarm. The giant sword completely ignored the protection of the purple jade ring and pierced straight through it.

Lin Mo had not expected that the old man's control over magic power had reached such a sophisticated level that he could pass through the gap in the purple jade ring in an instant, and then, as it rotated, slash out again from the gap.

This attack was completely unexpected by Lin Mo. It was too late to dodge, and if he took it head-on, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die, which would be bad.

On the other side, the kitten and Mu Chunhua were already terrified.

The kitten sensed something was wrong when it suddenly became shrouded in thick fog in the woods. Remembering Zheng Zhuang's instructions, it quickly revealed its true form, hoisted Mu Chunhua onto its back, and prepared to flee.

In this fog, it couldn't tell which way to go, and ran desperately for a long time but kept going around in circles.

When the fog finally dissipated, a giant sword was seen falling from the sky.

The immense pressure emanating from the giant sword was like a mountain, pressing down on it, making it hard to breathe and rendering it unable to move.

A peculiar aroma of alcohol permeated the air, intoxicating anyone who smelled it, making them unable to even muster the thought of resistance.

This grove is actually where Mu Dongmei is buried. Because of the nourishment from the fragments of the magical artifact, this grove is even more conducive to his cultivation, so he often comes to this area.

He had spotted Mu Chunhua and the white tiger from afar and was about to come over and say hello.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the fog rose, the white tiger scattered and fled. Fearing that Mu Chunhua was in danger, he chased after her.

Although the fog didn't affect him much due to his special nature, the white tiger was running too fast, and he couldn't catch up with it for a while.

As the fog dissipated, the giant sword slashed down.

At that very moment, the white tiger and Mu Chunhua stopped completely, as if waiting for the sword to strike.

Mu Dongmei gritted her teeth and frantically channeled her soul power, determined to fight to the death and use her escape technique to help them escape.

Just then, fragments of the magical artifact within his body surfaced.

As soon as the fragment of the magical artifact appeared, Mu Dongmei was immediately stunned. A strong force of attraction appeared, and the other fragments of the artifact were also here, no, the missing parts were all here.

He inexplicably felt a peculiar emotion, a desire to become one with it.

As the giant sword drew ever closer, he knew he had no hope of stopping it given his cultivation level.

A resolute glint flashed in his eyes: He would take the plunge!

He poured all his soul power into the fragments of the magical artifact, and the attraction grew stronger and stronger.

He immediately sensed the location of the Purple Jade Ring and, without hesitation, rushed over with the fragments of the magical artifact.

The purple jade ring in mid-air seemed to sense this as well, and began to tremble incessantly.

A soft sound rang out, seemingly insignificant compared to the imposing greatsword.

But the instant the fragments of the magical artifact merged with the purple jade ring, a blinding light burst forth from the purple jade ring, and it was restored to its original state, perfectly round!

In an instant, Mu Dongmei gained control of the Purple Jade Ring, as if it were his own body.

The purple jade ring spun wildly, slashing at the falling giant sword at an incredible speed.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the giant sword was shattered into countless droplets.

The sudden turn of events surprised both Lin Mo and the old man who was raising the cup.

Lin Mo's eyes widened. Although the purple jade ring, which had inexplicably returned to its original state, had helped him block the attack, he had lost control of it.

The old man offering the toast was even more surprised. The Purple Jade Ring originally came from his sect, so he was very familiar with this magical artifact.

Later, after they merged into the Yuanmo Sect, their master passed it on to his junior sister as a wedding gift for her.

Although the Purple Jade Ring was powerful, with his current Nirvana Peak cultivation, even if he could block this sword, it shouldn't have such great power.

He keenly sensed that the purple jade ring was different from before, that it had become more spiritual, so there was only one possibility.

As if to confirm his idea, the Purple Jade Ring gradually transformed into human form.

Mu Dongmei had completely taken control of the Purple Jade Ring and instantly understood the current situation. At this moment, he directly conjured it up, hoping to stop the battle.

This place is not far from Qingmu Village. Given the cultivation levels of these two, not only might Mu Chunhua be injured, but the village could also be affected.

"This is... a spirit of a weapon?" The old man asked, somewhat surprised and uncertain.

Lin Mo was filled with excitement. The Purple Jade Ring had not only been fully restored, but it had also inexplicably given birth to a spirit. Judging from its compatibility with the Purple Jade Ring, it was obviously extremely high.

If one can completely control it and refine it into a natal magic weapon, it will not only rapidly increase combat power, but also greatly benefit future cultivation.

Most importantly, with the help of the Purple Jade Ring, even if one is no match for the Toasting Old Man, one can still protect oneself.

"Who are you?" Mu Dongmei sized up the two of them.

"Haha, you're just beginning to develop intelligence, it's not your fault. Can you sense the connection between us? I'm your master, come to my side quickly!" Lin Mo said hurriedly.

Mu Dongmei looked at him as if he were a fool, and pondered for a moment:

"That might have been true before, but it's not anymore!"

"you……"

"Hahaha!" The old man who was raising his cup couldn't help but laugh. "Your spirit is quite interesting! You were originally my junior sister's magic weapon. They conspired to harm her. How about we join forces to avenge her?"

"What did you say! Didn't my mother die from a qi deviation?" Lin Mo exclaimed in shock.

The old man who was raising his cup had no interest in making a move for the time being. He could sense that Lin Mo had lost control of the Purple Jade Ring. If he could join forces with the Purple Jade Ring, taking down Lin Mo would be a piece of cake.

"Of course not! Why don't you think about why the fragments of the Purple Jade Ring would be here?"

"Father said that Mother was ambushed in Cangzhou and went mad after returning home. Is there anything wrong with that?"

The toasting old man sneered:

"What's wrong? Everything is wrong. Their plan seems flawless, but there's one flaw that can't be covered up: you!"

--Hehe, actually I really didn't expect that in order to cover up their actions, they would even keep you in the dark.

--What a brilliant plan! Once you're strong enough to break the seal on your own, even if you're discovered, no one will dare to say anything!

--But I am different. My junior sister and I have been close since childhood. I know Lin Mo very well. What do you mean by turning a bad luck into a good one after a serious illness?

--You're kidding me! Lin Mo's soul was congenitally damaged, and I've never heard of any way to cure it. Although you've lost your previous memories, you can't change your behavior and habits.

"Even if you possess Lin Mo's body, you can't truly become Lin Mo, right, Lin Bai!"

Lin Mo wore an expression of disbelief:

"Impossible! You're talking nonsense! I am clearly Lin Mo, how could I be Lin Bai? Lin Bai has clearly disappeared!"

The toasting old man sneered, "Is that woman surnamed Wang good to you?"

Lin Mo was taken aback for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Of course my mother is good to me, everyone in the entire sect knows that?"

"Hehe, you may not know, but Wang Shi used to be a notorious jealous woman. Your own mother suffered a lot from her harassment over the years. I even suspect that Lin Mo's stupidity might be due to her doing, but I have no evidence!"

"Think about it, if a woman's own son dies while you're alive and well, do you really think she'll let you grow up and eventually turn against the Wang family?"

The toasting elder continued:

Everyone thought she was raising you with all her heart because she had lost her own child. Some even thought she was trying to befriend you in advance because she was afraid you would retaliate in the future!

"But no one considered the possibility that you yourself might be her son, that you are Lin Bai!"

Lin Mo shook his head repeatedly:

"Impossible, impossible. Even if I really am Lin Bai, how could I become Lin Mo?"

The old man who was toasting sighed softly:

"Actually, I didn't believe it before either, because in the cultivation world, possession is not uncommon, but since neither of you had ever cultivated before, your souls could not leave your bodies, so you could not complete possession."

--So for a long time, even I never doubted you.

--Hehe, after my junior sister passed away, I drowned my sorrows in alcohol every day, and ended up like this.

--In search of the recipe for the wine, I traveled far and wide and occasionally came across an ancient book that recorded all sorts of strange and magical powers, including a forbidden technique.

--Soul transfer!
