Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

"This... I really have something I want to ask you, senior." Mo Juren bowed slightly again and replied respectfully.

To be honest, he had never thought that he would have any interaction with the person in front of him. After all, he didn't know in advance that the little girl would have such a high talent in Confucianism and Taoism.

If not, the other party would not be alarmed at all, so how could they meet in person?

Moreover, meeting a strong man in the realm of virtual refining also involves great risks. Who knows what kind of personality he has? What if he is curious about my situation and wants to study me?
There are too many unreasonable things about me that cannot withstand scrutiny.

However, things finally happened. The little girl was very talented and was favored by the person in front of her. As a parent who followed her, she was also inevitably invited.

In this case, he couldn't refuse and had to come in.

Besides, since Xiao Ya was favored by the other party, the relationship between the two sides naturally became closer, and the danger was controllable.

Of course, risks are often accompanied by opportunities. He thought of the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range and the Soul-Locking Valley. The person in front of him is a strong man in the realm of refining emptiness. Perhaps he can help?
And looking at the current situation, the other party and Xiao Ya get along well, and they have even become master and disciple. He was relieved that he had been worried.

"Excuse me?" Upon hearing Mo Juren's words, the woman in black was immediately surprised. She thought he would make some other requests, such as asking for treasures, elixirs, etc., but she never thought he would just ask a question?
For a moment, she became more and more curious. What kind of thing could make the other party take it so seriously that he would even put aside the opportunity to ask for the treasure?

"What do you want to ask?"

"Senior, do you know the Soul-Losing Valley?"

"The Soul-confusing Valley?" The woman in black was stunned for a moment, then asked,
"The Soul-confusing Valley in the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range?"

"It is this valley. I wonder if you know anything about it, senior?" Mo Juren nodded.

"Of course I know about this special place like the Soul-Bending Valley." The woman in black smiled sweetly.
"Before I answer, can you first tell me your purpose and why you are interested in the Soul-Losing Valley? Are you planning to enter the valley to find out what's going on?"

"Your guess is correct. I do want to go into the valley." Mo Juren did not deny it. Upon hearing this, the smile on the black-clothed woman's face instantly disappeared, replaced by a look of confusion.

"Are you sure you're not kidding?"

"How could a junior say such a thing? I did have a reason to enter. As for what it was, I hope you will forgive me. I cannot explain it."

"But is it for the Fantasy Grass? If that's the case, then there's no need to do that. I happen to have one here, and it's ten thousand year old. I can give it to you directly. There's no need to take the risk of entering the Valley of Bewilderment." The woman in black clothes guessed and dissuaded.

"It's not this reason." Mo Juren shook his head slightly. Inquiring about the situation in the Valley of Bewilderment these days also made him know the existence of the Fantasy Grass. It is said to be a unique spiritual grass in the Valley of Bewilderment and is extremely valuable.

However, his fundamental purpose was to cross the Wan Yao Mountains and reach the Tiansha Valley behind, so he didn't care about the Huanling Grass at all.

"It's not for the Fantasy Spirit Grass!" The woman in black frowned and wanted to ask again, but when she thought of what the other party had said before, she immediately gave up the idea and changed the subject.
"Since you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask any more questions. However, the situation in the Soul-Bending Valley is too complicated. Not to mention that you are injured and have lost all your magic power, even if you still have the cultivation base of the Nascent Soul Stage, you will be in danger of death if you enter it."

"Please help me solve this doubt?" Mo Juren was not going to give up so easily and asked again.

“The reason is actually very simple. There lives a group of mature ancient soul-devouring butterflies inside the Soul-Losing Valley. These monster insects feed on the souls of living people and have the ability to reverse reality and illusion, and gather and disperse invisibly. They are extremely difficult to deal with.

Not to mention you, even a being at the level of God Transformation would be unable to stop it, unless your cultivation has reached the stage of Void Refinement, and your soul has undergone a qualitative change, coupled with specific protective measures, there will naturally be no problem.

However, even so, the strong ones in the Nascent Soul Stage are not afraid of the erosion, but they cannot destroy it.

The Soul-Eating Butterfly has another alias, called the Immortal Butterfly. As the name suggests, it is a kind of immortal demon insect. A strong man in the fusion realm once tried to do it, but was also powerless.

Fortunately, this evil insect has extremely demanding requirements for its living environment. It must be in a place with a lot of dead air, otherwise it will not be able to grow and reproduce.

No one knows why the Soul-Bending Valley has been filled with death energy since the earliest records. It is also because of this that the Soul-Eating Butterfly always stays in it and does not pose a threat to the outside world. "At this point, the woman in black suddenly paused and continued,
“Due to the harsh living conditions, the Soul-Eating Butterfly is extremely rare and was almost extinct in ancient times. At least as far as I know, there are only a few dozen left in the Soul-Losing Valley.

This is also the main reason why ordinary cultivators outside rarely understand it. Even some powerful cultivators in the realm of refining emptiness and fusion may not know all of it. "

"I see!"

After listening to the explanation of the woman in black, Mo Juren suddenly looked enlightened.

He had no idea about the Soul-Eating Butterfly, and it was not mentioned in the information about spiritual insects in the lower world, but it was not easy for it to possess such terrifying power.

Any cultivator below the Spirit Transformation Stage would surely die if facing this butterfly. Even cultivators at the Void Refinement Stage and the Fusion Stage would be unable to kill it, which was even more shocking.

"Is there really no way to deal with this butterfly? Even if we can block it for a certain period of time, it will be fine." Putting aside his thoughts, Mo Juren asked again somewhat unwillingly.

"Forget about trying to destroy the Soul Devouring Butterfly. It's simply impossible. But if we just want to block it for a certain period of time, there is a way."

"Senior, take this seriously!"

Unexpectedly, there would be a sudden turn of events, and Mo Juren exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course it's true. How could I lie to you?" The woman in black smiled, then flipped her slender hand, and a fist-sized purple round bead emerged.

As his mind moved slightly, a faint purple glow suddenly burst out from the surface of the bead.

Seeing this, she immediately raised her other hand, and her five slender white jade fingers kept tapping the empty space on the surface of the bead, as if she was carving something.

It was not until a moment later, when he withdrew his hand, that he explained with a smile,
“This treasure is called the ‘Soul-Fixing Pearl’, and it is a replica of the ‘Nine Nether Gods Pearl’ on the Primal Chaos Spirits List. Although its power is not even one tenth of the former, it has an incredible effect in protecting the soul.

It is a pity that due to the crude imitation, this treasure can only be regarded as a consumable item. It has three uses and will then be automatically destroyed.

This throne has only used it once in the past, and there are two chances left. I have just placed a special guiding restriction on its surface. It does not require any mana to activate, and only requires a drop of blood to control it with the mind.

Now you can use it. There is another point you must remember. Although there are two more opportunities to use it, each time it is opened it can only last about half a month.

Therefore, even if you want to enter the Soul-Losing Valley, you must come out within a month at most, otherwise your life or death will be in danger..."

After giving an earnest reminder, the woman in black handed the Soul-Fixing Orb to Mo Juren, who was pleasantly surprised and thanked him repeatedly.

With this soul-fixing bead, the problem that had been giving him a headache was finally solved. Two chances, each lasting half a month, were enough.

"Tomorrow I plan to take Xiaoya back to Lingyue Sect. Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"In that case, I will leave my care to you in the future." Mo Juren bowed solemnly, then looked at the little girl and said,
"When uncle is not around, you have to learn to take care of yourself and listen to your seniors, okay?"

"Little girl is very good. I will practice well in Lingyue Sect. Uncle, take care of yourself and don't take risks..." When they parted, Little girl was very reluctant to leave, and her clear eyes were red. However, she knew very well that her uncle had important things to do and she couldn't let him worry, so she kept holding back her tears.

"Silly girl, don't be sad. When your uncle finishes his own business, he will go to Lingyue Sect to see you." Mo Juren raised his hand and touched the other's little head, comforting her with a smile.

How could he bear to let her go? After being together for so long, he already regarded her as his own daughter.

However, from the moment the other party's Confucian and Taoist talent was tested, it was destined that the only correct choice was to follow the woman in black to Lingyue Sect. If he stayed by her side, his talent might be wasted.

Since it concerns his future, he naturally cannot act on his emotions.

"Uncle, you must keep your word. You must remember to come and see Xiaoya, otherwise I will be angry..." Xiaoya felt much better after hearing Mo Juren's promise, but she reminded him again with a serious face.

"Don't worry, I will definitely go..."

……

Without accepting the black-clothed woman's attempt to keep him, Mo Juren gave some instructions to the little girl and then left.

Although the other party had not conducted any investigation on him from beginning to end, he did not dare to be careless as he had a "guilty" in his heart.

There is no point in staying one more night, so it is better to leave early than to suffer a long pain.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

When they arrived outside the academy, the matter of recruiting disciples was still not over. However, compared to before, the children who came for the test this time were almost all mortals without spiritual roots.

Mo Juren didn't care about this. He nodded slightly to the old man in Confucian robes and then turned and left.

After returning to his residence, he immediately took out the Soul-Fixing Orb, and then impatiently dripped a drop of blood into it. With a flash of purple light, he instantly established a connection with it.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that it was indeed a great effect from a powerful person in the Void Refinement Stage who took action.

He slowly raised his arm, and suddenly a simple round bracelet with a completely azure blue body and mysterious patterns on the surface appeared on his wrist.

This was the storage bracelet that the woman in black had given him specially when they had just parted. According to her, this 'Blue Star Bracelet' was of top quality among similar items, and the space inside it was far beyond the reach of ordinary storage equipment.

There are quite a few spirit stones and several top-grade spiritual tools in the bracelet. One of them is even of top-level quality, and in some aspects is not inferior to the magic weapons of some cultivators.

As for the problem of usage, it is also easy to solve.

Just like the previous Soul-Fixing Orb, the other party once again set up a special restriction on it and stored some mana, so that he could use it temporarily even now.

This is so much more convenient. He has always kept all his things in Xiaoya's storage bag and let her help him.

Now that they are about to part, he had originally thought that even if he encountered any good stuff on the way into the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains, he would not be able to carry it with him. But now there is no problem.

Putting his thoughts away, Mo Juren once again thought about his next course of action.

With the help of the woman in black, crossing the Wan Yao Mountains is naturally no longer a problem, so they can set off at any time.

As for preparing anything, there was no need for any of that. After all, the woman in black had given him a lot of good things, which were enough for his current use.

Moreover, all his strength at the moment lies in his powerful physical body. Even that top-level spiritual tool is far inferior to it, so there is naturally no need to waste any more effort.

"So, there is no need to delay any longer, why not set off immediately..." Looking at the sky outside the window, it was still afternoon, and Mo Juren made a decision immediately.

He has never forgotten the inexplicable panic in his heart when he was rushing here. Although he no longer has such a feeling now, he has never forgotten it for a moment.

Xiao Ya has been settled in and I have nothing to worry about anymore. Why should I delay any longer? What if something unexpected happens?
Thinking of this, he got up and left the inn without any further delay. Not long after, he walked straight out of Yunhua City and headed straight for the Wan Yao Mountains in the north.

In a room somewhere in Lingyue Academy, a woman in black clothes who was explaining something to an old man in Confucian robes was suddenly startled, and then she let out a surprised exclamation.

"Are you in such a hurry?" The black-clothed woman murmured, becoming more and more curious. The Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range is such a dangerous place, which is absolutely dangerous for ordinary low-level beings.

If it is not necessary, everyone will avoid it. Even some adventurers will only move around in the edge areas of the mountains.

This Mo Juren is different. From the previous communication, it can be confirmed that the other party is clearly heading for the Valley of Mihun. Now he is so impatient. What is the reason?
"I hope you are lucky enough this time and nothing happens." The woman in black sighed. Of course, she couldn't care about the life or death of Mo Juren, an outsider. The key point was that she was worried that her beloved disciple would be sad.

However, life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in the hands of God, and everything is the other party's choice. You have done everything you can, and you can't control too much. Just let it go.

"I plan to leave tomorrow, and Xiaoya will leave with me. I will leave the things here to you. Also, your master just came out of retreat not long ago before I came out this time. Does he have any instructions?"

"Master has come out of seclusion! Then he..." The old man in Confucian robes was immediately surprised. Many years ago, Master had been in seclusion to practice a top-level secret technique, and now he has finally come out, so he must have succeeded.

"Don't worry, he's fine, and he has already successfully practiced the Haoyang Jue."

"That's great. In that case, please wait for a moment. I will prepare a gift and you can take it back to him." After saying that, the old man in Confucian robes hurriedly left the room.

……

At the same time, somewhere in the air tens of thousands of miles away from Yunhua City.

A beautiful figure suddenly stopped escaping, and her snow-white jade hand touched the three-eyed civet cat in her arms, and then asked:

"You mean, the target has moved again, and is moving rapidly away to the north?"

"Meow..." The three-eyed civet cat nodded its furry little head and responded from time to time. Hearing this, the beautiful woman suddenly became thoughtful.

According to previous inferences, the target should have stayed in Yunhua City for a period of time. Now that I am almost there, the other party suddenly left. What happened?

It couldn't be that he noticed that he was being followed. It must be some other reason.

Besides, isn't the Wan Yao Mountain Range, which stretches over a million miles from east to west, located to the north of Yunhua City? The other party's target is obviously there.

The Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range is full of dangers. Even a strong person in the Spirit Transformation Stage cannot ensure safety when entering there. What is a mortal body cultivator like him doing there? Is he crazy?

"Damn it!" The beautiful woman's face suddenly changed as she thought of a possibility. If the target lost his life due to his confusion, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?
This is absolutely not okay!
When she thought of this, she no longer dared to delay and immediately rode on the light of escape, rushing forward at a faster speed. (End of this chapter)
