Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Yunhua City is adjacent to the Wan Yao Mountains, which are only a thousand miles apart. For a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, it is only a meal's journey away.

Mo Juren was unable to fly, so before leaving he specially bought a black-scaled horse. This was a species that was the result of a cross between an ordinary horse and a monster beast. Both its running speed and endurance were far beyond what ordinary horses could compare to.

In the circle of body cultivators, there is more than one type of beast to tame, but the Black Scaled Horse is loved by most people because it is docile and obedient, runs fast, and is very cheap. It is a very commonly used beast to tame.

More than a thousand miles was a journey that required no rest for the Black Scaled Horse. It arrived at the edge of the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range in less than half a day.

There is a special entrance here, which is also a smaller market town. The braver cultivators and high-level body cultivators in Yunhua City usually gather here and then go into the mountains to explore.

The risks are naturally great, and the casualties are countless, but compared to the huge benefits that can be obtained, there will still be countless people who continue to flock to it.

Of course, most people would only move around in the outer areas, and no one dared to go too deep.

In fact, there is not only one similar place. There are countless entrances along the edges of the mountains that are millions of miles long.

The reason for choosing this place is that it is the narrowest part of the Wan Yao Mountains from north to south, and because of the existence of the Mihun Valley, it can be passed directly through.

If it were to be somewhere else, the detour would increase by dozens or hundreds of times, and the risk would also be high.

When Mo Juren arrived, it was already evening and the sky was getting dark. This was obviously not the best time to enter the mountains. Everyone stayed outside the entrance temporarily, making the market town very lively.

He also did not act immediately. Instead, after entering the market, he found a very lively teahouse and sat down. He drank tea and listened to the discussions of the people around him.

"Have you heard that there has been some unrest in the Wan Yao Mountain Range recently! The number of monsters, especially high-level monsters, seems to have increased a lot compared to the past..."

"That's true. We have lost contact with several teams that entered the city. Something must have gone wrong..."

"It looks a bit like the signs before a large-scale beast tide. Could it be that it is about to start again..."

"It's a bit too early. It hasn't been long since the last large-scale beast tide ended. The monsters in the mountains also need to recuperate. It shouldn't be so fast..."

"If it's not a beast tide, then what is it?"

"According to the news sent back, those monsters seem to be very violent. Perhaps something unknown has happened deep in the mountains..."

"What should we do? Do we have to go in tomorrow..."

"After preparing for so long, we must enter. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time? But since the situation has changed, the plan should also be changed..."

"How to change?"

"That's easy. Why not find more people? Or directly join forces with other teams. This way, it will be much safer..."

"Brother Zhou is absolutely right. This is indeed a good idea..."

"..."

After finishing a pot of tea, Mo Juren also learned a lot of real-time information, which was extremely important for his next actions.

It was true that he was going to the Valley of Confusion, but that did not mean he could reach his destination directly by entering from the entrance. According to the map, the straight-line distance between the two was more than 5,000 miles.

This is just a straight line. Not only are there mountains and rivers blocking the way, but there are also many areas where monsters gather, which need to be avoided.

The obstacles of mountains and rivers are minor matters, but the monsters must be taken seriously. Most of the monsters in the outer areas are not of high level, but there are too many of them. Once entangled, even he will find it difficult to escape. The deeper you go, the higher the level of the monsters will be, and it is common to see some large monsters at the transformed level.

This was not the result he wanted, so a detour was inevitable. He naturally needed to choose the most suitable path so as to reach the vicinity of the Valley of Confusion as smoothly as possible.

Originally, he had already made a comprehensive plan for this matter and had also selected a route. However, when he heard that something strange had occurred in the Wan Yao Mountains, he had to take it seriously.

This means that the information he had collected would no longer be accurate, and once he entered the mountains, he would most likely run into a group of monsters.

This is a bit troublesome!
Mo Juren subconsciously turned the teacup, with countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

Giving up was of course impossible. As it was related to the recovery of his body, he had to move forward, so he could not care about the riot of the monsters.

One thing is certain, no matter if there are any changes in the depths of the mountains or it is a precursor to a large-scale beast tide, the sooner we set off the better. The longer we delay, the worse the situation may become.

Thinking of this, he no longer had the heart to drink tea. He immediately paid the spirit stones and left the teahouse, not caring that it was already dark, and headed straight ahead.

Not long after, he walked out of the market town, and the entrance to the mountain range came into view, but it was pitch black at the moment, like the bloody mouth of a ferocious beast, waiting for him to fall into its trap.

Mo Juren didn't care about this at all. He continued to stride forward and soon disappeared into the darkness.

The night was dark, but it did not have much impact on him who possessed spiritual awareness. Everything within a radius of more than a hundred miles could escape his perception, so as long as he was cautious, theoretically nothing should go wrong.

He was moving very fast, like an elf in the dark flying forward quickly. The monsters in the outer area were not numerous and their levels were not high either, so they naturally had no effect on him.

On the first day, the second day, and for two whole days, he was traveling at a rapid speed, crossing over many mountains, dangerous peaks and strange valleys, and gradually going deeper and deeper.

Apart from crossing mountains and rivers, there were no other difficulties during these two days. Even though we encountered some monsters, their number was small and their strength was average.

This also made him feel more at ease. At this rate, he should be able to reach the vicinity of the Valley of Confusion in a few days.

The depth of the Soul-Locking Valley is only a few hundred miles. With the Soul-Fixing Pearl given by the woman in black, they can pass through it smoothly in less than a day, and there will be no more obstacles on the road from now on.

After traveling tens of thousands of miles, you can directly reach Tiansha Valley.

Compared to the Wan Yao Mountains, Tiansha Valley is the truly terrifying place. As one of the ten forbidden areas in Xuanwu Domain, it is filled with evil energy and no living creature dares to approach it.

After two days and two nights of non-stop travel, Mo Juren was not tired at all and continued to move forward quickly. However, just when he climbed over a mountain, he suddenly stopped.

"That is..." His eyes suddenly noticed the location on the mountainside, where there was a natural cave, and at the entrance of the cave were several human corpses lying on their backs.

Mo Juren narrowed his eyes slightly, and then sent out a wisp of spiritual consciousness into the cave. He soon sensed something and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He immediately changed direction and quickly reached the entrance of the cave. His eyes swept over several corpses nearby and he could immediately conclude that these people had not been dead for long, just a few days.

What surprised him was that these people had no wounds on their bodies, but their faces and other exposed skin were all black, obviously they died of poisoning, but their expressions were a little hideous, as if they were extremely terrified. It was obvious that before they died, these people were running as hard as they could, but unfortunately they died in the end because of the poison.

Noticing that these people still had storage bags on them, Mo Juren didn't hesitate to step forward and take them off one by one. He released his spiritual sense to investigate and found that there were not many good things. It can be seen that these people did not gain much from entering the mountain.

He did not feel disgusted and tied all the storage bags around his waist, thinking that it would not be too late to deal with them later. Then he went straight into the cave.

The cave is not small, several hundred feet square, but it is extremely empty, except for the central area, which has a naturally formed pool of water with a tricolor exotic flower growing in it.

Through the hazy light, the three-colored petals emit a faint glow, and it is obvious at first glance that they are not ordinary items.

About ten feet away from the pool, there was a giant python that was over a hundred feet long and covered with dense purple scales. It had been awakened and was looking at him with its scarlet tongue.

"A level seven monster, interesting!" Mo Juren laughed and probably guessed that this giant python should be the guardian monster of the three-colored strange flower.

If I'm not mistaken, those people outside were killed by this giant python, and they died from the toxin attack, which also means that this evil python is highly poisonous.

He couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly at this.

Theoretically, he didn't care. Even without the refining of magic power, this body alone would be immune to most toxins.

However, he did not recognize this evil python, nor did he know the power of its poison, so he had to be careful later to avoid a disaster.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Countless thoughts flashed through my mind quickly, but in fact it only took a split second.

Without waiting for the purple python to launch an attack, he took the first step.

His body flashed rapidly, and after a few leaps he landed directly on the giant python's coiled body. Then he used the force to move forward and approached the opponent's vital point at the fastest speed.

Then, the silver dragon sword at his waist was unsheathed and stabbed directly into the python's body.

Although the Silver Dragon Sword was a gift from Zhou Tong, it is a genuine top-grade spiritual tool and one can imagine how sharp it is.

As the spirit stone on the hilt of the sword was activated, the spiritual power instantly spread to the entire sword body, and a three-foot sword light suddenly burst out. Coupled with Mo Juren's terrifying power, it directly penetrated into the giant python's body through the gap between the scales.

From the beginning of the attack to now, everything happened in a flash. The giant python was already a little clumsy due to its large size, and naturally had no time to dodge. By the time it reacted, the sword had already pierced into its body.

"Roar..." Severe pain instantly spread throughout the body, and the purple giant python let out a huge roar. Its body instinctively shook rapidly, trying to throw off Mo Juren, who was still hanging in the seven-inch position.

However, it had no idea what kind of enemy it was facing. With Mo Juren's strength, how could it possibly be shaken off?

He tightly grasped the hilt and scales of the sword, as if they were welded to the python's body. The sword body also kept stirring inside the python, causing more and more severe pain, which made the opponent even more crazy.

The bloody mouth opened wide and streams of black poisonous mist kept spewing out, but unfortunately, the seven-inch position was too clever to be attacked at all.

Apparently aware of this, the giant python simply smashed its huge head to the ground, trying to smash the hateful human to death.

Its body was so huge that the opponent was unable to move at all this time and could only stay away from it.

However, it thought too well. The moment it hit the ground, Mo Juren did not even try to dodge, but stood firmly with his hand gripping the hilt of the sword. Instead of being smashed to death, his entire body pierced into the giant python's flesh like a nail.

"Roar..." At this moment, the giant python became even more crazy. Its huge body kept smashing down the ground, but it had no effect at all.

However, Mo Juren, who had stabbed into the giant python's body, held the Silver Dragon Sword and destroyed it madly. In less than a moment, the entire python's body was completely cut off.

With a plop, the huge python head fell to the ground, and everything settled.

After wiping the blood off his face, Mo Juren walked straight towards the giant python's huge head. He then swung the Silver Dragon Sword and dug out a fist-sized purple demon pill in a flash.

At this moment, an illusory figure shot out. It was the soul of the giant python. It seemed to understand something and was about to shoot away.

However, at this moment, a cold shout sounded, as if an invisible sharp blade was slashing directly out. The giant python's soul trembled instinctively, and then became sluggish.

It is only a seventh-level monster. The resistance of its primordial spirit is far from comparable to that of a human-shaped monster, and its intelligence is not complete enough.

Mo Juren used the powerful consciousness of the Nascent Soul stage to perform the Shocking Soul Thorn, severely injuring it with just one attack. In this situation, even if nothing was done, it would automatically collapse in a short time.

It is precisely for this reason that he naturally doesn't bother to pay attention to the other party anymore. After all, he doesn't have many means at his disposal at the moment, and he can't put them away.

This seventh-level demon pill is the most valuable item on the giant python. In addition, it also has scales, snake gall, fangs, etc.

After a busy period, Mo Juren finally decomposed the huge python's body that was over a hundred feet long. He put all the valuable things into the Blue Star Bracelet and discarded the rest.

He walked slowly to the side of the pond, and a jade slip appeared in his hand.

This was a "Pharmacopoeia" that he had specially purchased when he was in Yunhua City. It recorded more than a thousand kinds of magical medicines, most of which he was unfamiliar with.

According to the shop owner, this "Pharmacopoeia" is only a simplified version. The real complete version records more than tens of thousands of elixirs, and each one comes with a detailed introduction, which is far beyond the reach of this simplified version.

Of course, the complete version of the "Pharmacopoeia" is not easy to buy. First, it is expensive, and second, it is rarely circulated outside. Perhaps only places like Xuanwu City have a chance to get it.

Mo Juren immersed his mind into the jade slip and soon found the corresponding information.

This tricolor flower has a strange name, called 'Triple Orchid', and is an extremely rare top-level spiritual medicine in the spiritual world. It blooms once every three thousand years on average, and after three times it will take another thousand years to reach its ultimate. After that, it will not continue to survive, but will directly wither and die.

This flower is also extremely useful. The famous 'Nirvana Pill' in the spiritual world uses it as the main ingredient. Moreover, the older the flower is, the higher the quality of the pill will be.

"Looking at the condition of the flower in front of us, it should be the first time it blooms. Although it is not as valuable as the one that is nine thousand years old, it is equally valuable." Mo Juren observed and compared it carefully, then said with a smile.

He had no complaints. Even three thousand years was still a good harvest. Moreover, he could pick the whole flower later and give the roots to Han Li. Was he still afraid of not getting the ten thousand year old triple orchid?
He also coveted the Nirvana Pill. It was said that if one took one of these pills, one could reverse life and death and be reborn into Nirvana when one was on the verge of death.

This is almost equivalent to having an extra life.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and started picking immediately.
