“I got it. Keep a close watch on the Lin auction house to see if Lin Mo has really left…”
While the crowd in ancient flame city was surging, Lin Mo was using his Kun Peng wings to bring Yan Rong and Lin Die along.
Lin Mo stopped in a ravine about ten thousand miles away from Ancient Flame City.
“This is the place. I’ll set up the formation first and begin my seclusion.”
Lin Mo said as he took out a rank 9 defensive formation. This was obtained from the auction, and it was just the right time to put it to use.
With the protection of the formation, there was no need to worry about their safety.
The three of them went into seclusion, digging three caves in the ravine and entering each of them.
As streams of spiritual energy appeared, the place returned to its usual calm.
In front of Lin Mo, runes flickered, and the shadow of a True Phoenix slowly appeared behind him.
He was using the True Phoenix Nirvana technique to cultivate, and every time he used this technique, it was equivalent to getting a new life.
In front of Lin Mo, there was an inner core that was emitting raging flames that surrounded him and burned everything.
This was the inner core of the Fire Cloud Sparrow, and its bloodline was purer. After consuming it, one’s strength would greatly increase.
However, Lin Mo’s constitution was different from others, and it was destined that he would not be able to greatly increase his strength.
This was because more than half of the spiritual energy in the Fire Cloud Sparrow’s inner core had been devoured by the God Devouring Body.
Only a small portion was left for him.
Moreover, his breakthrough required even more spiritual energy than ordinary people, and the further he progressed, the more cultivation resources he would consume.
With the addition of the Soul Devouring Art, the true Phoenix Nirvana art refined the spiritual energy over and over again, and the amount that was truly absorbed by Lin Mo was extremely small.
The True Phoenix Phantom revolved around Lin Mo, following the symbols of the Soul Devouring Art.
This was not his first time using the true Phoenix Nirvana technique. Every time he used it, he would receive a different comprehension.
In addition, Lin Mo had also swallowed the undamaged spirit fusing pill, and his soul power had also increased.
In just a few short days, the spiritual energy in the fire cloud sparrow’s inner core was continuously decreasing.
The flames on Lin Mo’s body were also getting denser and denser, and the true phoenix seemed to be wrapping around him, as if it was beginning to enter Nirvana.
After a few more days, Lin Mo’s body was completely enveloped by the flames, forming a cocoon.
This was formed from pure fire energy, and it allowed Lin Mo to comprehend the Dao of fire from within.
Another three days passed. A powerful undulation shook the cave, and cracks appeared on the cocoon formed by the flames.
“Crack.”
With a soft sound, Lin Mo emerged from the cocoon. His eyes were burning with intense flames.
Under his feet, lava flowed out from the cocoon. It was the purest fire energy imaginable.
A black halo appeared, and the God Devouring Body swallowed all the scattered energy into its body.
At the same time, the flames around Lin Mo started to change slowly with his steps.
They turned into lava that flowed in the air like water.
In the next moment, they turned into fireballs that were as bright as the sun.
Soon, the Flames in Lin Mo’s hands turned into a sharp sword that was completely red. This was formed from the condensation of flames.
His understanding of flames had already reached a very deep level.
If it were not for the fact that he had not kept up with his cultivation, he might have broken through to the Nirvana stage right after he entered closed door cultivation…
His control over the flames had already reached the peak.
At this moment, Lin Mo could feel that he might be able to kill a tier 30 Dragon Transformation Realm practitioner just by using the power of the flames…
“My current cultivation has also received a qualitative increase…”
As his aura bloomed, Lin Mo’s entire body was enveloped in flames. At this moment, his level had already reached tier 24 of the Dragon Transformation Realm.
“I’ve been in closed-door cultivation for half a month. I Hope Mu Ming hasn’t broken through to the Nirvana stage yet…”
Lin Mo was helpless. Time was of the essence. What he needed to do now was to return to Ancient Flame City and find an opportunity to kill Mu Ming…
Lin Die and Yan Rong had not come out of their closed-door cultivation yet. Lin Mo had given them a lot of heavenly and earthly treasures, so the two of them were still in closed-door cultivation.
After leaving them a message, Lin Mo left this place.
In the mountain range, a fiery red figure flashed by quickly. The golden wings on his back flapped slightly, and in an instant, he was over 1,000 meters away.
This speed was too fast. Even the demonic beasts in the mountain did not react in time.
This person was Lin Mo. He left the place where he was in closed-door cultivation and rushed to Ancient Flame City.
Luo Haoyu had told him that the fourth prince’s henchmen had been mobilized from the imperial city and were going to send the accumulation pill over.
Their goal was naturally to allow Mu Ming to break through to the Nirvana stage so that he could contend with the Su family.
According to their estimates, it would take about half a month for it to arrive.
There was not much time left for Lin Mo.
He was more than 10,000 miles away from Ancient Flame City. However, with this terrifying speed, in less than two hours, the outline of Ancient Flame City appeared at the end of his line of sight.
At this point, Lin Mo restrained all of his aura. He wore a black robe and a bamboo hat.
He was close to Ancient Flame City, and demonic beasts were no longer common. Occasionally, he could feel the aura of some humans.
Lin Mo did not dare to be negligent and hid himself.
Although Ancient Flame City was in good order, it was very chaotic outside the city, especially in the mountain range.
Raiders, clack bandits, and mercenary groups could be seen almost everywhere.
Especially when the ban of the Yanhuang dynasty was lifted, all kinds of vicious criminals also came out.
As they approached Ancient Flame City, Lin Mo was just about to enter when he was blocked by a group of people.
“Hehe, take off your bamboo hat and hand over the treasures on you. I’ll spare your life.”
The leader was a demon beast with the head of a tiger and the body of a human. It was a demon beast in the form of a human, but it had not yet left its beast form.
“Roar…”
A blood-curdling scream was heard, followed by the roar of a tiger that resounded through the sky.
A few minutes later, Lin Mo was fiddling with the spatial bags in his hands as he pursed his lips.
“You have the nerve to come out and rob me with such little ability…”
He took out an inner core from the tiger’s body under his feet.
After throwing out a few balls of flames, Lin Mo walked towards Ancient Flame City.
Soon, a huge fire was lit, burning a mountain into ashes. At the same time, Lin Mo also entered Ancient Flame City.
What surprised Lin Mo was that today was the Lin auction house’s once-a-month auction…
It seemed that after Lin Mo left, Duanmu Jia and Miao Qing changed the rules. The auction would be held once every half a month. Some of Jiang Xiyue’s business groups were also called over by Qianqian. They would go through the auction once every half a month and provide a large number of treasures for auction…
“An auction? It’s just right. It’ll attract everyone’s attention.”
Lin Mo smiled and walked to the place where the Lin auction house was located.
“Hello, May I know what treasure you wish to auction?” A waiter came out to welcome him.
Lin Mo handed over the tier eight demonic beast inner core that he had just obtained.
“This is a tier eight demonic beast inner core?”
This waiter was quite perceptive. He recognized the details of this inner core at a glance.
In the past, a tier 8 inner core could be used as the final auction item.
However, now, it could only be used as an opener.
“Yes, sir. The auction will be held tonight. Please register here and leave your soul imprint.”
The attendant handed over a piece of paper and asked Lin Mo to fill in the information and leave his soul imprint.
At this moment, the door was pushed open and Duanmu Jia and Miao Qing walked in.
“Greetings, owner Duanmu Jia and manager Miao Qing.”The waiter quickly bowed.
“You may leave…” Duanmu Jia sent the waiter away and Miao Qing locked them up.
Seeing this, Lin Mo took off his bamboo hat and smiled. “You came so quickly…”
