Doctor Mo: Han Li's first teacher — and the first man who tried to steal his body
Doctor Mo is the retained physician of the Seven Mysteries Sect: a healer on the surface, a cultivator with his lifespan running out underneath. He takes Han Li as a disciple and teaches him the Eternal Spring Art for one reason — to prepare the body he intends to seize. The lesson he teaches is the one that shapes Han Li's entire life: never trust a gift.
