The mysterious boy's gratitude? Is this something a menial disciple can possess?

Observing Lin Xiyue via projection would temporarily unify the flow of time between Blue Star and the Cangxuan Great Realm.

Therefore, to give Lin Xiyue ample time, Lin Mo did not intend to keep watching her.

"To be able to forcefully unify the time flow of two realms, Brother System, you've got some tricks up your sleeve."

"But it doesn't matter; the stronger you are, the more at ease I feel."

Lin Mo's mindset was quite good.

He was not one of those paranoid patients who constantly suspected the System was out to harm him.

What a joke.

He had undergone Transmigration eighteen years ago and was a complete newbie who couldn't even touch the threshold of the Qi Refining Realm. What could the System possibly want from him?

Did it want him because he was handsome? Or because he was so inept?

If it was the former, then the System had excellent taste.

With a glimmer of hope for resolving the crisis, Lin Mo's mood completely relaxed.

He chuckled, teasing himself, and prepared to go to bed.

Anyway, it was still late at night, and there was nothing else to do but sleep.

Ah, no, he could actually work hard and train himself rigorously.

But no matter how much he trained now, it wouldn't be of much use.

Under normal circumstances, seven days would at most allow him to stabilize his cultivation at the Body Tempering Ninth Level, which he had just achieved.

But to want to advance further was pure fantasy.

Since it was meaningless, why waste time? Better to just lie flat.

"Hiss, I can't fall asleep at all!"

"I'm so energetic I could go to a construction site and carry cement all night!"

"Forget it, I'm a cultivation model student in the Menial Labor Courtyard after all. Even with a cheat, I can't fall into depravity!"

The surging Qi and blood from his recent Breakthrough kept him wide awake and full of energy, making sleep difficult.

So Lin Mo simply got out of bed, assumed the Body Tempering Realm cultivation posture, and continued to Cultivate.

He Cultivated until dawn.

Just then, a faint knock suddenly came from outside the room.

"Hmm?"

"It's just dawn, who could be looking for me?"

Lin Mo looked out the window; the sky was just beginning to show the first hints of dawn. Full of confusion, he walked to the door.

"Who is it?"

"Brother Mo, it's me, Li Fan."

Lin Mo paused for a moment, then pulled open the door.

"Why are you coming to find me at this hour, you rascal?"

Lin Mo opened the door, and indeed, a delicate and silent young man stood outside.

This young man was one of the few friends he could talk to in this Sect.

"Brother Mo, let's talk inside."

Li Fan didn't waste words. He cautiously looked around, then quickly entered the room.

"What are you doing?"

"You're being so mysterious."

Lin Mo closed the door, looking at Li Fan with a bewildered expression.

"Brother Mo, yesterday afternoon, I saw that Zhang Han lingering near your door for a while."

"But he eventually left."

"I guess he was still angry about you scolding him before and wanted to get revenge."

"But because of the Sect rules, he ultimately didn't dare to act."

Li Fan looked at Lin Mo, his expression quite solemn.

"Hmph, that beast, does he really think he can lord over the Sect with one hand, huh?"

Lin Mo grew furious, wishing he could rush out right now and rub Zhang Han's head into the ground.

However, as soon as he remembered that he was only at the Body Tempering Ninth Level, he could only temporarily suppress his anger.

"Brother, you came just to tell me this?"

"Don't worry, that dog-like fellow bullies the weak and fears the strong. He wouldn't dare do anything to me in the Sect, no need to worry."

"But, still, thanks, brother."

Lin Mo patted Li Fan's shoulder, his gratitude evident.

"Brother Mo, it's nothing."

"If you hadn't stepped forward to help me back then, the last memento my parents left me would have been snatched by that beast."

"To me, this is a great kindness!"

Hearing Li Fan say this, Lin Mo subconsciously looked at the rusty iron sword he was holding.

This sword was the memento from Li Fan's parents he spoke of.

And even such a tattered iron sword, that beast Zhang Han hadn't intended to spare it back then, insisting on snatching it.

If Lin Mo hadn't been unable to stand it and intervened, this sword would probably have been sold as scrap metal by Zhang Han long ago.

"Hah, it was just a small effort."

Lin Mo waved his hand casually, looking completely unconcerned.

However, his demeanor made the expression on Li Fan's face even more resolute.

"Brother Mo, I didn't come here for anything else."

"In seven days, all Utility Disciples who haven't reached the Qi Refining Realm will be sent down the mountain by the Sect."

"By then, that beast Zhang Han will definitely come looking for trouble with you!"

"So..."

Li Fan paused here.

"Don't worry, brother. If that Zhang Han dares to come, I'll fight him to the death!"

"Besides, aren't there still seven days?"

"It's not certain who will win."

"It's you, though..."

Lin Mo scrutinized Li Fan, noticing that he seemed to still be at the Sixth Layer of Body Tempering... even more Trash than himself.

Of course, if he wasn't more Trash than him, it wouldn't have been his turn to help him out back then.

"Brother Mo, don't worry about me."

"I had already decided to leave the Sect."

"This time, it's just a good opportunity to go down the mountain."

Li Fan's words greatly surprised Lin Mo.

"Already decided to leave?"

"That's right."

"The reasons are not convenient to elaborate on."

"Brother Mo, I have no way to repay your kindness, please take this Medicinal Pill!"

Saying this, Li Fan carefully took out an exquisite small porcelain bottle from his in my arms and offered it to Lin Mo.

"Brother, what is this?"

Lin Mo was completely stunned and did not reach out to take it.

"The Medicinal Pill here is called a green wood qi nurturing pill."

"It's a third-grade elixir."

"Its effect is to allow a Mortal with no cultivation to directly Break through to the Qi Refining Realm without any side effects."

"Brother Mo, I'm giving you this Medicinal Pill, hoping it can help you stay in the Sect."

Li Fan's expression was very serious.

However, when the words "third-grade elixir" entered Lin Mo's ears, he was completely dumbfounded.

What the heck?

A third-grade elixir?

Is there something wrong with my ears?

Is this something that Utility Disciples like them could possess?

One must know that the Medicinal Pill that helped that grandson Zhang Han Break through was only first-grade.

And the body tempering powder (crude form) most familiar to these Utility Disciples was even worse, a junk item that didn't even qualify for a grade!

What was the concept of a third-grade elixir?

It was something even most Outer Sect Disciples could only dream of!

How could Li Fan, a poor Disciple even more Trash than him, have such an unparalleled Spirit Pill, which could be called a peerless divine item in the Menial Labor Courtyard?

"Brother Mo, I know this is hard to believe."

"But please believe me."

"The Medicinal Pill is real!"

Seeing Lin Mo's dazed expression, Li Fan also felt that this matter was indeed incredible.

So he gently pulled out the stopper.

Instantly, an indescribable, peculiar Medicinal Pill fragrance wafted into Lin Mo's nose and mouth.

"Hiss!"

"What potent medicinal power, this Medicinal Pill is real!"

He might not have eaten pork, but he had heard how pigs ran!

Lin Mo was almost certain that this Medicinal Pill was absolutely genuine!

"No... brother, you...?"

"Forget it, everyone has their own opportunities, I won't ask where you got the Medicinal Pill from."

"But you take this back, it's too precious, I can't accept it!"

"You should take it yourself!"

He didn't ask Li Fan about the origin of the Medicinal Pill.

Combined with his tragic background, this kid was probably not simple!

Could he be a protagonist archetype?

However, he did not accept this Medicinal Pill.

Firstly, because this item was too precious, and secondly, for him now, it didn't seem that important anymore.

"Hmm?"

Seeing Lin Mo push back the Medicinal Pill in his hand, Li Fan also froze.

How could he not know what this Medicinal Pill meant to a Utility Disciple?

If Zhang Han were here instead, he would have pounced like a mad dog long ago.

But Lin Mo was only surprised for a moment before decisively rejecting him.

There wasn't even a trace of greed on his face!

As expected of Brother Mo, this breadth of mind, this straightforwardness, truly commanded admiration!

To be fair, even when he himself first obtained this Medicinal Pill, he couldn't help but feel his heart race and his eyes filled with longing.

Yet, in the face of such immense temptation, Lin Mo could remain calm.

How could this not make him admire him?

It was a pity that Brother Mo possessed such gentlemanly conduct, yet heaven only gave him a very ordinary talent.

It was truly regrettable... Lin Mo had no idea that Li Fan's inner monologue at this moment was already enough to fill an 800,000-word novel.

"Alright, don't just stand there."

"With such a good Medicinal Pill, hurry back and take it."

"Wouldn't it be wonderful to directly advance to an Outer Sect Disciple then?"

Seeing Li Fan somewhat distracted, Lin Mo smiled and reminded him.

"..."

"Brother Mo, say no more."

"I must give you this Medicinal Pill no matter what!"

"Also, my mind is made up; I am leaving the Sect today."

"If there's ever a chance in the future, I will return to visit Brother Mo!"

"I hope Brother Mo, please take care!"

Li Fan bowed deeply to Lin Mo, then, without waiting for Lin Mo to speak again, he placed the Medicinal Pill on the table, turned, pushed open the door, and left directly.

Only Lin Mo remained standing inside the room, staring blankly at his departing back.
