Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Mo Juren's gaze fell on a certain part of the trunk of the giant tea tree. If his perception was correct, there seemed to be a slight fluctuation of spiritual power there just now.

This instantly piqued his interest. It seems that there will be an unexpected gain today!

Without any hesitation, he immediately squatted down and inserted his right hand into the tree trunk like a sharp blade.

Unexpectedly, the hardness of the tree was beyond imagination, like steel and iron. If it were not for his special situation, he might not be able to insert his palm into it.

Soon, a fist-sized object flashing with a faint green light was grabbed out.

"The heart of the spiritual tree!" A hint of surprise flashed in Mo Juren's eyes. He didn't expect that this old tea tree could actually condense the heart of the tree, which is the essence of its entire body.

What made him even more excited was that as the spiritual power of the tree heart was transmitted into his body through his palms, it actually spread rapidly toward his sea of ​​consciousness. He could clearly feel that his spiritual consciousness was slowly growing.

"What a good stuff!" Mo Juren laughed. This thing was much more effective than tea. After thinking about it, he threw it directly into his mouth and swallowed it.

Such spiritual objects are best refined into pills and taken orally to maximize their effectiveness. If they are swallowed raw, it will be the same as taking spiritual herbs raw. The effect will be reduced and there may even be some side effects.

However, he couldn't care less about so many things at this moment. What he lacked most was time. Being a little slower might lead to unpredictable consequences. He really didn't want to take any risks.

Besides, he did not have a storage bag at the moment, and it was not safe to hold such spiritual objects in his hands. If Zhou Tong or other cultivators noticed them, they would definitely be snatched away.

Instead of doing that, it’s better to eat it directly.

The effect of the spirit tree heart entering his body was much better than he had expected. His spiritual consciousness recovered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a moment, it had reached the peak of the middle stage of the Jindan realm before it stopped.

Mo Juren was already very satisfied with this. His spiritual awareness at the peak of the middle stage of the Jindan realm had rapidly increased the number of means he could use.

His only shortcoming at the moment is in his cultivation. Without being able to practice, he would have no magic power in his body. In this way, his most powerful life-saving trump card, the seven great edicts in his sea of ​​consciousness, could not be used.

Only by solving this problem can we have more confidence.

Putting aside his chaotic thoughts, he did not delay any longer and began to pick the spiritual tea.

Although it is not as good as the heart of the spirit tree where the essence lies, it is still a good thing and Mo Juren naturally will not miss it.

The tea trees are very large, with densely packed magical tea leaves on them, and because they grow on the rock walls, it is very troublesome to pick them.

Fortunately, his spiritual awareness has recovered a lot now, so he doesn't need to pick them one by one. His spiritual awareness swept over directly, and immediately all the spiritual tea fell off the branches and turned into a huge tea ball with a diameter of about a foot, gathering in front of him.

Mo Juren smiled slightly, then took out a bag that he had prepared in advance and put all the spiritual tea into it.

I just swallowed the heart of the spirit tree and haven't digested it completely yet. It's not suitable to continue taking the tea now. It won't be too late after I return.

After looking around for a while, he suddenly thought of something, and then took off the best quality section of the old tea tree trunk, then jumped to the ground and quickly left the same way he came.

When I returned home again, it was still dark and the little girl was sleeping soundly.

Mo Juren did not disturb the other party, but went directly to another room, then sat cross-legged and began to try to practice his skills.

After a moment, he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. It was obviously still not working.

He really couldn't figure out the reason, and even called up the interface of the assistant. All the information on it was normal and there was no problem.

This is what puzzled him the most. Logically speaking, if the auxiliary device did not display any problems, then there should be nothing wrong. But why couldn't he practice?

Could it be a problem with the technique?
Thinking of this, he immediately tried other cultivation methods, but the results were the same, which showed that this was not the reason.

"It seems that I can only practice "Ming Wang Jue" temporarily!" Mo Juren couldn't help but sigh. He had tried it before after his body recovered a little, and there was no problem with this method.

The other is the stone clone hidden in the dantian. It's a pity that there is still no movement from this thing, otherwise it would be an extra trump card.

He sighed again, and without further delay, he began to practice immediately.

……

Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The mountain gate in Wufeng Mountain had been built long ago, but Zhou Tong never came back.

This made the people of Sujia Village and even the entire Xuyang County anxious, fearing that something might have happened to the immortal, or that he had changed his mind and would not come again.

Mo Juren was very satisfied with this. The later the other party came back, the better, and his strength could be further improved.

During these few months, he not only completely absorbed the spiritual power contained in the heart of the spirit tree, but also swallowed all the tea leaves he picked into his body and digested them completely.

Now his spiritual awareness has recovered to the late stage of Jindan, which is enough to protect himself as long as he does not encounter too powerful enemies.

However, things often do not develop as expected. Just when Mo Juren was overjoyed, something strange happened suddenly.

On this day, Zhou Tong finally came back, and was followed by another cold and beautiful woman. The two of them did not go anywhere else, but went straight to the courtyard where Mo Juren was.

Mo Juren noticed something instantly, and when his eyes fell on the cold and beautiful woman, his heart was suddenly startled.

This woman turned out to be a powerful cultivator in the late Jindan stage. It was really difficult for him to deal with her since he was unable to use his magic power at that moment. Flying was his biggest weakness.

Of course, even so, he is not impossible to fight. He can be sure that in terms of physical strength, even if he has not fully recovered, he can still crush the opponent.

Therefore, as long as you can seize the opportunity to engage in close combat with the opponent, you will be confident enough to win.

"Are you Mo Juren?" Above the courtyard, the cold and beautiful woman looked at the figure in the yard. A strange look suddenly flashed in her cold eyes, and then she asked in a cold voice.

"Hello, senior." Mo Juren's attitude was extremely humble at this time. He bowed and greeted respectfully. However, before he finished speaking, the other party appeared not far in front of him in a flash.

Mo Juren was not afraid of this, but was overjoyed. Of course, his expression did not change.

Such performance actually caused a flash of surprise in the cold and beautiful woman's eyes. "Your concentration is quite good?" The cold and beautiful woman nodded with satisfaction, and then stretched out her slender white jade hand, about to grab Mo Juren's wrist.

However, at this moment, something strange happened suddenly.

When the other party was caught off guard, Mo Juren took immediate action. He grabbed the other party's smooth jade wrist with his backhand like lightning. At the same time, he raised his other hand quickly and directly strangled the other party's snow-white jade neck, and then pulled her into his arms.

"Damn it, what are you doing..." The sudden change made Zhou Tong's face change drastically. He roared in anger and at the same time summoned out a top-level magic weapon, ready to take action at any time.

However, what was strange was that the cold and beautiful woman who fell into Mo Juren's arms still looked very calm at this time, and there was even a bit of admiration in her eyes.

"He has a calm mind, decisive actions, and is quick in action. Not bad, very good." The cold and beautiful woman smiled sweetly, and it was like a hundred flowers blooming, captivating everyone. Zhou Tong, who was originally still angry on the opposite side, saw this scene, and a trace of trance instinctively appeared on his face.

"Aren't you afraid?" Mo Juren narrowed his eyes slightly. He had seen a lot of beautiful women, so he was naturally not affected by them. Instead, he felt more surprised at this moment.

This woman's behavior was really beyond his expectations. She showed neither fear nor anger at all. It was really illogical.

"Why should I be afraid?" The cold and beautiful woman smiled and continued,

"I have no ill intentions in coming here. It is you who are too vigilant."

"No ill intentions?" Mo Juren smiled, but the strength in his palm did not decrease at all, obviously he did not believe it.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"I can swear in my heart that I am here to discuss important matters with you, and I have absolutely no ill intentions..." As she spoke, the cold and beautiful woman did not hesitate at all and swore in her heart.

In this case, Mo Juren felt a little embarrassed. If he could swear with his heart of Tao, then it must be true, which also meant that he had indeed overreacted.

Of course, if it happened again, he would still do the same. After all, he had too many secrets, and he would never allow others to explore unless absolutely necessary.

Thinking of this, he immediately loosened his hand and apologized respectfully and sincerely:

"What I did just now was also a last resort. I hope you don't mind if it's abrupt."

"It's okay. Ignorance is not a crime." The cold and beautiful woman rubbed her still painful wrist and continued,
"You have such great strength. If my guess is correct, you should be a mortal body cultivator. I wonder what kind of martial arts you practice? Is it the Mysterious Armor Skill or the Vajra Skill?"

"Vajra Sutra" Mo Juren did not deny it, and nodded slightly before asking again,
"You are a guest, please take a seat. Also, this Taoist friend just said that he has something important to discuss. I wonder what he meant by that?"

"It's a long story..."

After slowly sitting down, the cold and beautiful woman pondered for a moment and then began to tell the story in detail.

After a moment, Mo Juren finally understood the whole story.

First of all, the origins of the two people are actually from a special force called Tianxiang Sect. Although this sect is not well-known, its foundation is not weak at all.

The Tianxiang Sect has a strict organization, divided into different levels from bottom to top. The lowest level is the ordinary believers, and above them are deacons, protectors, helmsmen, elders, and so on.

The leader of each branch must be at least at the Nascent Soul stage, and under the leader there are four Dharma protectors whose cultivation must be above the Core Formation stage. As for the many deacons, most of them are cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage.

When one reaches the elder level, he is a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage. There are dozens of elders in the sect, and above them are four great messengers and the leader.

According to the cold and beautiful woman's vague suggestion, although the leader has never shown his face, he is very likely the legendary powerful person in the fusion realm.

Hearing this, Mo Juren couldn't help but take a breath.

It really has a huge foundation. Fortunately, there was no real conflict just now, otherwise even if we win now, it will be difficult to end it, and we will inevitably face endless troubles in the future.

With such a huge force, he would have no chance of winning even in his prime, let alone now. He might not even be able to succeed if he wanted to escape.

In addition, Mo Juren also confirmed one thing from the other party indirectly, that this was indeed the spiritual world, and it was the Xuanwu Realm among the three realms and seven lands of Fengyuan Continent.

After confirming this, Mo Juren's originally anxious heart was instantly put at ease.

It would be fine if it was the spiritual world that he was familiar with. If it really ran to some other unknown world, that would be really troublesome.

"So, Protector Cheng is planning to invite me to join your sect and become the so-called Holy Son? But you should also be clear about my situation. I'm just a mortal body cultivator. How can I take on such a big responsibility?" Putting away his thoughts, Mo Juren asked again.

During the communication just now, the other party had already introduced himself. His surname was Zhou, his name was Hong'e, and he was one of the four Dharma protectors of the Chongzhou branch of the Tianxiang Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, you don't need to worry about this. Our saint is different from the others. He doesn't have to be a cultivator. A strong body is the key." Zhou Hong'e smiled and said,

“And once you become the Holy Son of our religion, the benefits you will receive will be countless, especially the resources related to physical cultivation, which will be more than you can imagine.

And this is not the most critical point. The number of saints in our sect is not unique, but countless, and they will compete with each other. Once they are promoted to the top level, they can be personally received by the leader, and at that time they may even have the opportunity to generate acquired spiritual roots. "

"Generate spiritual roots!" Mo Juren narrowed his eyes slightly. Regardless of whether the other party's words were true or false, it was too great of an opportunity for a mortal to have spiritual roots.

He never believed that pie would fall from the sky. Anything gained without effort must mean an equal or even greater price.

"Can I refuse?" Mo Juren put away his thoughts and asked again.

"Reject?" Not only Zhou Hong'e, but also Zhou Tong beside her was surprised.

Being able to join a big sect and gain such great benefits, anyone would rush to accept such conditions. But the other party was not tempted and even refused. Is there something wrong with his brain?
"Fellow Daoist Mo, are you sure you didn't make a mistake? What's the reason? You are not still worried that we have any ill intentions, right?" Zhou Hong'e asked again. After all, she had sworn an oath with her Dao heart, so why should she refuse?

"No, the reason why I refused is simply because I am used to being free and don't like being constrained." Mo Juren smiled. Of course, he couldn't tell the truth.

"Just because of this?" Zhou Hong'e smiled slightly.
“You are worrying too much, my friend. Although our sect is a local one, the rules are not so rigid. Especially for the Saint Son, who has the most special status, he has the highest degree of freedom.

After joining, you don’t even need to go to a branch office. You can practice on your own anywhere. You just need to participate in the Holy Son Competition at a specific time.

Once you achieve good enough results in the competition, you will definitely receive many awards.

For example, the next competition is scheduled to be held thirty years from now. There is a "longevity pill" in it. After taking it, one can increase his lifespan by fifty years. I don't need to tell you how important this treasure is to you, right?" (End of this chapter)
