Volume 1 Starting Point Chapter 6 Preparations

  Mo Xin has been in this world for ten years, but he still feels a lot of unfamiliarity towards it. Perhaps due to the reason of his soul or maybe because he wants to leave this world and return to the heavenly realm as soon as possible, Mo Xin's heart has not fully integrated into this world. At least most of the time, Mo Xin views this world with an outsider's perspective, which makes him unable to let go of very few things in this world, or even say very little. At least in these ten years, perhaps only his loved ones here are the things that Mo Xin cannot bear to part with.

  Although Mo Xin had self-awareness when he came to this world, he also had to admit that the family and relatives in this world were his own, because the blood of the Mo family was still flowing in his veins.

  What made Mo's heart strange was that the unfamiliar familiarity had always been there, and this strange feeling had been buried in his heart, waiting for an opportunity to unravel the reason behind it.

  Mo Xin's understanding of this world was no longer shallow, at least in terms of his understanding of the world's history and culture. Mo Xin could be considered a master, otherwise all those books would have been read in vain. At home, Mo Tian had a younger brother, who was also Mo Xin's uncle, Mo Lei. He was an eighth-level swordmaster and a first-class earl of the empire. However, he spent very little time in the imperial capital, mainly staying in the family's territory, the Northwestern Tianhai Province, to take care of some matters. Originally, these things should have been handled by Mo Xin's father, but Mo Tian was simply not interested.

  Of course, there are still many branches of the Mo family, but they generally assist in managing the family's territory within their territory, and many uncles like Mo Tian do things in the army.

  Mo Xin's uncle Mo Lei has no sons, but two daughters who are 2 years younger than Mo Xin and a bit older than Mo Jia. They are twins named Mo Ling and Mo Jing.

  The two sisters, Mo Xin had only seen a few times, because the distance between the Imperial Capital and the Northwestern Province was still very far, so Uncle Mo Lei rarely brought them back to the Imperial Capital. Even if they returned to the Imperial Capital once, they would only stay for about half a month. The personalities of the two sisters were vastly different, just like their names. Mo Ling studied martial arts, while Mo Jing studied magic. When Mo Ling and Mo Jia were together, the house would basically be in chaos, and as the older brother, Mo Xin was often driven to distraction by these two little troublemakers.

  All these years, Mo Xin's gifts for the New Year and festivals were all divided up by his two siblings. Mo Xin didn't even unwrap them before putting them in his room, so they were taken away by his well-meaning younger brother and sister. Their excuse was that they were helping their older brother unpack, and if they saw something they liked, they would take it away with the reason that good things shouldn't be wasted like this. Mo Xin could only smile wryly at what they did, then took out some unopened gifts to give to shy Mo Jing, because as an older brother, he couldn't show favoritism, in case Mo Ling came later to ask for them on behalf of Mo Jing. It would be less trouble that way, and anyway, Mo Xin didn't care about these things, so it was better to just give them to his younger siblings.

  Mo Jing and Mo Ling's talents were still pretty good, and their cultivation was also very diligent. With Mo Xin's help in the future, becoming a top-notch powerhouse in this world shouldn't be a problem.

  Mom, White Fey, has also been promoted to a 9th-level Great Magic Master in these years. Because of being pregnant with Mo Xin, Mo Xin practiced in her mother's belly, and the heaven and earth spiritual energy brought great benefits to her mother. At least her body got better, and her perception of magical elements became stronger.

  Mo Xin didn't know if his cultivation would allow him to ascend to the Heavenly Realm at the fourth turn of the Nine Turns Golden Elixir. Mo Xin could clearly feel that the way of cultivation and energy in this world were vastly different from those in his original world, or rather, they were two completely different paths or methods. Moreover, the bodies and souls of humans in this world were also very different from Mo Xin's own.

  This is also why Mo Xin secretly modified his younger brother Mo Jia's body, guiding his martial arts training and making him work hard. Mo Xin also wanted to see where Mo Jia would ascend to if he reached the legendary divine level in this world.

  Although there is a little selfishness, of course, it cannot be ruled out that Mo Xin has more love for his younger brother Mo Jia.

  "After a period of time, it should be possible to further strengthen Moka's body. Moka is now eight years old, a 3rd-level swordsman, and should be able to withstand the next step of increased intensity strengthening, and this age's strengthening is beneficial for his growth."

  "Further refinement and tempering requires some auxiliary materials, including heavy objects and medicinal herbs that can stimulate the body's potential." Mo Xin muttered to himself, "Looks like I need to go out for a bit, take a walk around, and buy some things back home."

  Although Mo Xin couldn't use the Samadhi True Fire at this time, and many elixirs from his past life couldn't be refined yet, using fire magic to refine some extremely simple elixirs was still no problem. This world had alchemy, but compared to Mo Xin's pill refining techniques, it was far inferior. However, Mo Xin's understanding of the medicinal properties in this world and his experience with their usage were too limited, almost non-existent. To avoid drawing too much attention, Mo Xin hadn't started researching the medicinal properties of this world yet.

  Mo Xin returned to the courtyard, took out all his savings over the years. These gold coins were the birthday money Mo Xin received every year and the pocket money given by his family at ordinary times.

  Mo Xin receives 10,000 gold coins (a blue gold card) every year on his birthday. The gold coins sent by the family are calculated monthly, and Mo Xin is not very concerned about the specific amount, which is usually stored in his magic crystal card. From birth, all children of the large family, whether direct or collateral, have a certain amount of gold coins available each month, of course, the number of gold coins must be different.

  Mo Xin, as the direct grandson of the Mo family, naturally wouldn't receive a small amount of gold coins every year.

  However, Mo Xin rarely goes out and doesn't have many places to spend money, so the money is basically all saved and hasn't been touched.

  Mo Xin put 10 blue crystal cards and all his magic crystal cards, as well as some loose gold coins into the spatial pouch in his home. The spatial pouch was roughly a few cubic meters in size and could usually hold clothes and gold coins for daily use.

  In this world, space bags are still relatively precious and usually only used by some nobles and the wealthy. As for large space bags and even more precious space rings, they are extremely expensive. Those who own space rings are either high-ranking nobles or extremely powerful individuals, such as top-level mercenaries. In the powerful Mo family, there are only a few space rings, held by Grandfather Mo, Grandma Mo, Father Mo, Uncle Mo, and Mother Mo's space ring was likely given to her by her own family in the past.

  "After a while, when the Golden Elixir makes its first turn, I might be able to connect with the Qian Kun Ding, and the basic storage function should be usable. That space is huge!" Mo Xin thought excitedly, "Think back then, not even one percent of the space was used. There should still be many good things inside, a large amount of elixirs and rare books and immortal artifacts. I hope they haven't been lost, or else it would be too much of a loss. Those things inside were collected over many years with great effort."

  Actually, if there are materials available, Mo Xin can also refine storage bracelets and rings after the first transformation of Jindan. Although Mo Xin's achievements in refining equipment are far inferior to his own achievements in refining Dan, Mo Xin is still an expert in playing with fire, even if he can't compare to those masters of refining equipment, it's still very good. In the past, Mo Xin often helped those senior disciples who were much older than himself refine some top-grade immortal swords and armors, at least they are far from being comparable to the methods of refining weapons in this world. However, some materials are not that easy to find, and it's the same in this world.

  Mo Xin tidied up her own space bag and then walked out.

  "Brother, what a coincidence! Where are you going?" Mo Jia suddenly appeared from somewhere, asking Mo Xin in surprise.

  "Go out and buy something." Mo Xin replied. At this time, Mo Xin's weak consciousness could only observe everything within a hundred meters around him, and he had already discovered his hiding place, but Mo Xin didn't expose it. As for Mo Jia's little trick, Mo Xin was already used to it and ignored it.

  "What are you buying? Brother, I'll take you there. In the Imperial City, I'm more familiar than you. Let's go now, I'll lead the way." Mo Jiana's smile was a bit radiant, it was so easy to get out and stroll around, and going shopping with her brother seemed like the first time, should she let him bleed a little, Mo's heart was excited.

  Mo Xin didn't say much, but in fact, if Mo Jia hadn't come over, Mo Xin would have gone to find him. Anyway, the heavy armor and backplate still had to be made according to Mo Jia's body type. Moreover, Mo Jia was far more familiar with the Imperial City than Mo Xin, because Mo Jia could often wander around, and basically never stayed idle, every day after training ended he would run around everywhere.

  Mo Xin followed closely behind Mo Jia, always keeping a distance of only three steps. Mo Jia was like a bird out of its cage, looking around here and there with great excitement, as if he had never been outside before.

  Mo Xin had always been quietly watching from behind, with a look of satisfaction in her eyes. This life wasn't bad either, having a happy and beautiful home. In her previous life as a child, she followed her grandfather to cultivate, her parents passed away early, without any love from siblings or parents, while her grandfather was more strict in his teachings. When she grew up, her grandfather also passed away, and the rest of her days were spent alone, until she arrived at the immortal realm and met her master, things got a little better.

  At this moment, Mo Xin seemed to be one step closer to leaving the world. His state of mind had advanced another step forward. The silver true yuan force in his body suddenly went into a frenzied circulation, and he instantly broke through from the late stage of Qi Condensation to the early stage of Dan Condensation. His divine sense also grew by almost half, and everything within 150 meters around him was crystal clear.

  At this moment, Mo Xin blended with the heaven and earth even better, as if he had disappeared into the universe.

  "How strange." Mo Jia turned his head to look at Mo Xin again, shook his head and continued with his shopping trip.

  Mo Xin looked inward and muttered to himself, "This time's progress is huge, it's equivalent to half a year of cultivation. However, such opportunities are really hard to come by. Maybe I still need to travel around, but now isn't the right time."

  ——————————————————

  In this world, there were no pharmacies. When people fell ill, most of them would seek out either a shaman or an aquamancer to treat their ailments. Only a very small minority used alchemists' concoctions. Thus, Mo Xin and Mo Jia entered a store that specialized in alchemy texts, hoping to find some medicinal herbs from his past life or something with similar effects.

  Mo Xin only knew that in the legend, this world's ancient alchemy achievements were very high, but now it has declined and there are few powerful alchemists appearing.

  Advanced alchemy medicines are all very precious and generally priceless.

  "Hello there young masters, I'm Old Man York, the boss here. What can I get for you?" Old Man York ran up to them with a very friendly tone after seeing Mo Xin and the other enter.

  Mo Xin wore a white long robe, tied with a dark blue silk ribbon around his dark blue long hair. Mo Jia was similarly dressed in a magnificent blue long robe. Both of their robes had the Mo family crest printed on them - dragon head and long sword. With Mo Xin's pair of black eyes, people in the imperial capital could easily identify his identity.

  "I'd like to see if you have any medicinal herbs, poisonous plants and some flowers and seeds here. I want to buy some." Mo Xin replied.

  "Come along, gentlemen," said Mr. York, leading them into the back room with great enthusiasm.

  Before long, Mr. York ordered the servant to bring in a lot of flowers and seeds.

  "Hmm, I didn't expect the quality of the flowers and herbs in this world to be so good." Mo Xin thought as he looked at the medicinal materials brought before him, "It's no wonder, not many people use them, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is thick here, it would be strange if they weren't good."

  Mo Xin still discovered many herbs used in past lives and some poisonous weeds used to refine poison, such as ginseng, lingzhi, and some poisonous weeds like duan chang cao, mi xiang cao, yin ji cao, fu rou cao, etc. It looks like the harvest is pretty good, these are enough for me to use now, and I can also refine some poison to defend myself. After all, my current strength should not be easily exposed, otherwise it's hard to explain. In any case, the secret of coming from another world in this world for a long time cannot be known by anyone, who knows what kind of situation this world is, it's better to keep a low profile.

  "Boss, how many of these herbs do you have? I'll take them all. Please pack them for me." Mo Xin said to the boss York with a secretly excited tone, "Also, if you have snake gallbladders, snake saliva, and snake fangs, I'll take those too."

  "Alright, good. I'll have it sent over right away." Boss York was thrilled; this was a big deal.

  Normally, these flowers and grasses are basically unwanted by anyone except for some alchemists who would buy a little to do alchemy experiments, and they are also quite expensive, so not many people can afford them.

  Very soon, the boss sent over all the things Mo Xin wanted, a huge pile of stuff. If not for the space bags, at least two horse carts would be needed to carry them away.

  "It's a total of 30,000 gold coins." Boss York said respectfully.

  Mo Xin gave Boss York three blue gold cards, then told him that in the future if there were such things, let him send someone to notify him. Boss York happily agreed, as Mo Xin's big clients were very rare.

  Then, Mo Xin packed the items into his own spatial bag and left the store with Mo Jia.

  "Brother, why are you spending so much money on these flowers and grasses? Are you going to conduct alchemy experiments?" Mo Ge asked curiously. Although many magicians also practiced alchemy, few people had great achievements in this area.

  "Hmm. You'll understand later." Mo Xin replied casually, "Let's go, now we're going to the Dwarf Arms shop in the Imperial Capital."

  Mo Ga is really strange, you're a magician, what are you doing at a weapon shop? Brother is always so mysterious.
