He opened his eyes to find a massive face pressed right before his own. Startled, he shrank back, and only then recognized the owner of that terrifying visage as another boy, Zhang Tie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eat something quickly. After dinner, we have to see Master Mo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where did you get this food?” Han Li blinked, then took the food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s a big kitchen near the valley. I saw everyone going there to get their meals, so I went and got some too. After eating, I realized you hadn’t eaten yet, so I got you two more steamed buns.” Zhang Tie smiled at Han Li with a simple, earnest expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Brother Zhang.” Han Li felt a pang of warmth. Seeing Zhang Tie looked far more mature than himself, the words “Brother Zhang” slipped out naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“N-no problem. I’m used to doing chores at home. If I don’t do something every now and then, I feel... kind of uneasy. If you ever need help with anything, just say so. I don’t have much else, but I’ve got plenty of strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Li hadn’t eaten breakfast or lunch and was quite hungry. He devoured each steamed bun in three or four bites, and in just a short while, both large buns were gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s getting late. Let’s go see Master Mo.” Han Li burped a few times, glanced out the window at the setting sun, calculated the time in his mind, and decided it was time to visit Master Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Tie had no objections and followed Han Li into the room where Master Mo resided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Master Mo’s room, rows of bookshelves lined the walls, densely packed with all kinds of books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Mo!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Mo!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Mo sat with his back pressed against a high-backed chair, engrossed in a book, completely unaware of their arrival or their greetings. Since both Han Li and Zhang Tie were children, and Master Mo ignored them, they grew flustered and unsure what to do, so they simply stood aside and waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until Han Li’s legs had gone numb from standing that Master Mo slowly set his book down on the nearby desk, coldly sized them up, then picked up a cup of tea, sipped a few small mouthfuls, and finally spoke in a slow, deliberate tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From today, you two are my registered disciples. I will teach you some basic knowledge of gathering and preparing herbs, and perhaps some medical skills to heal others. But I will not teach you martial arts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have a set of cultivation verses for cultivating your nature and body. Though they won’t help you defeat enemies, they will strengthen your physique. If you truly wish to learn martial arts, you may go to one of the instructors for training—I won’t oppose it. But in six months, I will only test your progress on these verses. If you fail, you will be expelled to the outer sect as outer disciples. Do you both understand clearly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We understand.” Han Li and Zhang Tie answered in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You may leave now. Come back early tomorrow.” Master Mo waved them off, then picked up his book again and resumed reading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, Han Li couldn’t help but glance at the book in Master Mo’s hands. Unfortunately, he couldn’t read. He only knew the title consisted of three large black characters—characters that recognized him, but he did not recognize them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping out of Master Mo’s room, Han Li let out a quiet sigh. Inside, for some reason, he hadn’t dared to breathe deeply, his mind taut and tense. Now that he was outside, he immediately relaxed and returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following days, Han Li was filled with excitement. He was finally a disciple of the Seven Mysteries Sect—even if only a registered one, it was far better than the other boys sent home. Even if he failed the six-month test, he could still become an outer disciple like his Third Uncle. In Han Li’s eyes, his Third Uncle was already a person of great status and prestige. So he didn’t take the upcoming test seriously. Deep down, he even secretly hoped he would fail, so he could leave the mountain sooner and see his parents and his beloved younger sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the days that followed, Master Mo taught them medical and herbal knowledge in the mornings. In the afternoons, they went to a study hall with the other boys to learn reading, writing, the twelve regular meridians, the eight extraordinary meridians, and the locations of acupoints—all basic martial knowledge—and practiced horse stance and striking straw dummies to build foundational skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a month, Han Li and Zhang Tie were separated from the other boys. They no longer had time to learn anything else, for Master Mo began teaching them a nameless set of cultivation verses. These verses consumed most of their time. Master Mo strictly forbade them from revealing the verses to anyone else. If they leaked them, they would be severely punished and expelled from the sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, Han Li learned more about the Seven Mysteries Sect and Master Mo from others. The sect’s official master was Wang Lu, a direct descendant of the Seven Perfections Elder, alongside three vice-masters. The sect was divided into two major branches: the outer sect and the inner sect. The outer sect consisted of four branches: Flying Bird Hall, Treasure Gathering Hall, Four Seas Hall, and Outer Blade Hall. The inner sect had four branches: Hundred Forges Hall, Seven Perfections Hall, Honored Masters Hall, and Blood Blade Hall. There was also an Elder Council, which stood directly below the official master and held equal status with the vice-masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Mo had not originally been a disciple of the Seven Mysteries Sect. Several years ago, Master Wang Lu had fallen into an enemy trap during an outing and was ambushed, sustaining grave injuries and nearing death. Everyone around him was helpless. Just then, Master Mo happened to appear. With his miraculous medical skill, he cured the master’s wounds and saved his life. Master Wang Lu, naturally, was immensely grateful. Later, he learned that Master Mo not only possessed extraordinary medical skill but also formidable martial prowess, so he invited him to join the sect. He carefully selected a small valley in the mountains and had a residence built there for Master Mo, allowing him to settle permanently in the Seven Mysteries Sect as a Honored Master. During his time in the sect, though the disciples had never seen Master Mo’s martial abilities and knew nothing of his strength, he had saved many of their lives with his superior medical skill. Thus, despite his often expressionless demeanor and sparse speech, he was deeply respected by all sect disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WWW.feiazw.COM website\u003C\u002Fp>",1148,"2026-06-20T21:12:45.940Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","7f4f8b57ffcb24f277978c4c4ca2092e224fdef7d792b2fdf3f72b6ab5c5471f","a-mortal-s-journey-to-immortality-chapter-7","a-mortal-s-journey-to-immortality-chapter-5",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-mortal-s-journey-to-immortality-cover.jpg"]
