Chapter Six: The Nameless Incantation

  "Wake up" "Wake up"

  A faint cry that seemed to come from outside the sky woke Han Li from his sleep, and when he opened his eyes, a huge face was tightly pressed in front of him. Han Li was startled, and he shrunk his body back, only then did he see clearly that the owner of this terrifying face was another child, Zhang Tie.

  "Hurry up and eat something, we have to go see Mo Lao after dinner." Zhang Tie handed two steaming buns to Han Xi.

  "Where did you find something to eat?" Han Li hesitated for a moment before taking the food.

  "There was a big kitchen near the mountain valley, I saw everyone eating there, so I also went to get a share. After finishing eating, I realized you hadn't eaten yet, and then helped you get two more mantou." Zhang Tie smiled at Han Xue with a thick face.

  "Thank you, Brother Zhang." Han Li felt a few points of emotion in his heart, seeing that Zhang Tiezhu was much more mature than himself, and the words "Brother Zhang" involuntarily escaped his lips.

  "It's...it's nothing, I'm used to doing it at home. If I don't do something for a while, I feel a bit...a bit uneasy in my heart. In the future if there's anything that needs help, just let me know, I have no other skills, but I still have some strength." Zhang Tie seemed a bit embarrassed, and his words were also somewhat stuttered.

  Han Li hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch, and was getting a bit hungry. In just three to five mouthfuls, one steamed bun went into his stomach. Just a short while later, two large steamed buns were completely destroyed.

  "It's getting late, let's go see Dr. Mo." Han Li let out a few loud yawns, looked at the setting sun outside the window, calculated the time in his mind, and felt that it was about time to go see Dr. Mo.

  Zhang Tie had no opinion and followed Han Li into the room where Mo Daifu was.

  Inside the doctor's house in Ink, rows of bookshelves stood along the walls, packed tightly with all sorts of books.

  "Mo Lao!"

  "Old Mo!"

  ......

  Dr. Mo sat with his back against the armchair, holding a book in his hand and reading it with great interest, seemingly completely unaware of the arrival of the two people, nor did he hear their greetings. Han Li and the other person were after all just children, seeing Dr. Mo ignoring them, they became at a loss, not knowing what to do, and could only stand aside waiting.

  Until Han Li's feet were numb from standing, Mo Dafu slowly put down the book in his hand on the nearby desk, calmly looked at the two of them, picked up a cup of tea and took a few sips before opening his mouth to say:

  "From today on, you two will be my registered disciples. I will teach you some knowledge about medicine collection and refining, and maybe even some medical skills to save people's lives, but I will never teach you martial arts." Dr. Mo put down the tea in his hand again, his face expressionless.

  "I have a set of physical and mental cultivation techniques to teach you two, although they can't help you defeat your enemies or win victories, but they can help you strengthen your bodies. If you really want to learn some martial arts skills, you can go to those instructors to learn, I won't oppose it, but six months later, I will only examine the cultivation of this set of techniques, if you don't qualify, you will also be expelled to become an outer disciple, did you two hear clearly?"

  "We heard it clearly." Han Li and the other person replied in unison.

  "You two go out, come back early tomorrow." Dr. Mo waved his hand at the two of them, indicating that they should leave, and then picked up the book again to read.

  Han Li couldn't help but take a glance at the book in Mo Daifu's hand before leaving, unfortunately he was illiterate and only knew that the title of the book consisted of three large black characters. Unfortunately, they recognized him, but he didn't recognize them.

  As soon as Han Li walked out of Mo Daifu's house, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh of relief. Just now in the house, for some reason, he didn't even dare to take a deep breath, his mind was tense and tight. Now that he had come out, he immediately felt relaxed, and he returned to normal.

  Han Li was excited for the next few days, as he had finally become a disciple of the Seven Mysteries Sect, even if it was just an honorary one. He thought to himself that even if he failed the assessment in six months and became an outer sect disciple like Third Uncle, he would still be someone with status and identity. In Han Li's mind, Third Uncle was already a person of great standing, so he didn't put much importance on the assessment six months later. In fact, deep down, he even secretly hoped that he wouldn't pass, so that he could leave the mountain sooner and see his parents and beloved little sister.

  In the following days, Dr. Mo taught them some medical knowledge in the morning and let them go to a study room with other children to learn basic martial arts knowledge such as recognizing characters, Twelve Meridians, Eight Extraordinary Vessels, and acupoint locations, and practice horse-riding stance and punching sandbags for basic skills training.

  A month later, Han Li and the other children finally parted ways, no longer having time to learn other things, as Mo Da took them under his wing to teach them a set of nameless incantations. Practicing these incantations took up most of their time, and Mo Da strictly ordered the two not to spread the incantations to others. If they leaked out, he would severely punish them and expel them from the sect.

  During this time, Han Li gained a more detailed understanding of the Seven Absolutes Sect and Mo Da through others. The Seven Absolutes Sect had a legitimate master named Wang Lu who was the direct descendant of the Seven Absolutes Upper Person, as well as three other vice masters. The sect was divided into two main parts: the outer gate and the inner gate. The outer gate consisted of four sub-temples: Fei Niao Tang, Ju Bao Tang, Si Hai Tang, and Wai Ren Tang. The inner gate had four sub-temples: Bai Duan Tang, Qi Jue Tang, Gong Feng Tang, and Xue Ren Tang. In addition, there was also an elder council that stood alongside the legitimate master and vice masters.

  Mo Dafu was not originally a disciple of the Seven Mysteries Gate, but several years ago, when Wang Lümen's master was ambushed by enemies while traveling outside and suffered serious injuries, Mo Dafu happened to be present and used his exceptional medical skills to save his life. Wang Lümen's master was naturally grateful to Mo Dafu, and later discovered that he not only had superb medical skills but also possessed impressive martial arts abilities. He then invited Mo Dafu to join the Seven Mysteries Gate and built a residence for him in a secluded valley, where Mo Dafu settled down and became one of the gate's guardians. During his time at the Seven Mysteries Gate, although the disciples had not seen Mo Dafu's martial arts skills and did not know their strength or weakness, he used his exceptional medical skills to save the lives of many disciples, earning him the respect of the gate's members despite his often expressionless face and sparse words.
