Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 453 Doubt and Departure
"So, are you planning to recognize me as master?" Mo Juren asked calmly, his expression unchanged.

"Yes and no." Yinyue shook her head slightly, and continued,
"I just agreed to be your subordinate, and you will be sent by you within the scope of my ability. But if you want me to really recognize the Lord, your current cultivation is not enough."

"Why, you still don't like me?" Mo Juren couldn't help laughing. Is it because he comes from an extraordinary background and knows how to pick and choose?
"That's not what it means!" Yinyue shook her head quickly and continued to explain,

"I have a last resort. In short, unless you can enter the Nascent Soul Stage, I will not recognize the Lord."

Paused, then suddenly said again,

"If my guess is correct, your age should not be very old, and your cultivation base has already reached the late stage of alchemy. With such a top talent, it should not be a problem to step into the Nascent Soul Stage."

"I have taken a Dingyan Pill?" Mo Juren replied with a half-smile.

"Ah..." Hearing this, Yinyue was stunned for a moment, thinking in her heart, this guy looks young, but he is an old monster inside, right?
That would not work, if one lived for hundreds of years before reaching the late stage of alchemy, the probability of condensing Nascent Soul in the future is almost zero, let alone transforming spirit.

"It's convenient to ask, you... how old are you? What about your spiritual root qualifications?"

At this time, not only Yinyue, but also Han Li who was on the side was also curious.Speaking of which, although I followed my master since I was a child, I only know that the other party's aptitude is against the sky, but I really don't know how many spiritual roots it is.

It should be the top Tianlinggen, right?

Han Li thought so, but subconsciously looked at Master, with a bit more expectation in his heart.

However, how could Mo Juren reveal his secret, and replied directly:

"No comment."

"You..." Yinyue was extremely depressed, this is not an important matter, so why keep it secret?After a pause, as if he suddenly thought of something, he turned to look at Han Lidao at the side,
"I don't know what kind of qualifications this fellow daoist is going to have this year?"

"Me!" Han Li was a little surprised, but he quickly realized that this guy was planning to choose him, right?Are you kidding me, you are intelligent, and you are an old monster who has lived for tens of thousands of years, who knows what the origin is?How inconvenient would it be to carry it with you?There are so many secrets about him, especially the little green bottle, which must never be revealed.

Thinking of this, he revealed a wry smile and said,

"Maybe I will disappoint the seniors. Although the juniors are not old, they are only four spiritual roots. The chances of breaking through the Nascent Soul stage in this life are very slim. My master is definitely top-notch aptitude. The seniors will never go wrong following him. "

"Four spiritual roots!" Yinyue suddenly stopped thinking, and turned to look at Mo Juren again.This guy is so hateful, he was very talented but he wanted to tease her, and he was almost cheated.

Fortunately, this apprentice was more honest, allowing her to let go of her originally suspended heart.If the other party's aptitude is really poor, then it will be troublesome. It doesn't matter whether she trades or not.

He was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by the other party raising his hand:

"Someone is coming!" Mo Juren frowned, and quickly restrained his breath. Han Li beside him was also not slow, and even put on the 'Hide God Robe' given by his master before.

"Leave here first." Beckoning to Yinyue, the latter naturally did not dare to hesitate, and the brilliance immediately transformed into Yu Ruyi's body.Mo Juren took it into his hand, and then shot towards a certain direction together with Han Li, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

About a quarter of an hour later, two figures walked out from a certain passageway.Each looked around suspiciously for a while, and when they were able to look at the high platform ahead, their expressions changed drastically almost at the same time.

"This... how is this possible!" The old man in white robe was full of disbelief.

"Go in and have a look!" The black-robed man next to him also showed a startled expression, and his figure flashed to the front. He raised his hand and shot a black light blade, tearing a wide opening in the sky cover.

Without the slightest hesitation, the two flew into it almost at the same time.

"It was actually taken away! Who is it!" Inside, above the altar, looking at the empty deep hole below, the old man in white robe said solemnly.

"Ordinary monks don't have such abilities!" The black-robed man frowned,
"Wan Tianming and the others were watched and left by us, Man Beard left only a Nascent Soul, Tian Wuzi was controlled by us, and the only one left was Qing Laogui, and even so, it is impossible for him alone to obtain Baoding .”

"Could it be that there are other forces intervening? But this is impossible. All the way through the barrier is under our surveillance. It is impossible for such a situation to happen? Besides, the Xutianding is so easy to collect, there is not enough Strength and specific methods are simply impossible."

"Other forces? Sufficient strength?" The old man in white robe murmured, but suddenly thought of something, and said again,
"Could it be that kid?"

"You mean... Mo Juren!" The black-robed man was startled for a moment, and then replied with some uncertainty,

"It's really hard to say, that kid is a monster, his own strength is outrageous, and he is accompanied by a Nascent Soul Stage Xu Qingcheng, if the two of them work together..."

"I hope the guess is true. After all, this kid can be regarded as one of his own. It is better than falling into the two ways of righteousness and evil. Besides, if the other party and the young master can achieve good things in the future, wouldn't the Xutian Ding become the king of my star palace in disguise?" thing?"

"The matter between the boy and the young master is true?" the man in black robe asked curiously.

"Ninety-nine is not far from ten." The old man in white robe smiled, and then said,

"Okay, these are just speculations, and we can't be sure. However, if it really involves this kid, it's not for you and me to decide. We need to inform the two Holy Masters as soon as possible, and let them decide."

……

There is never a shortage of smart people in the world, especially the old monsters who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage. Which one is not mentally close to a demon?
It was Mo Juren himself, even though he thought he was careful enough in all aspects, he still didn't dare to be careless.After all, nothing can be perfect, there will always be flaws.

The one who appeared just now must be Elder Xinggong. Seeing that the Xutian Cauldron was taken away, it is inevitable that he would be suspicious of him.

He naturally considered this point. After all, the situation changed, and the corresponding things would change accordingly.For the sake of prudence, he has decided not to return to Skystar City until he is sure enough.

At this time, he is more concerned about the next thing, which is the 'Ten Thousand Years Soul Cultivation Wood', which is also the last goal of his visit to Xutian Temple this time.

It has been delayed for several days, and he can't help feeling a little worried.According to common sense, it is impossible for Yuan Yao to break through the restriction there in a short period of time based on Yuan Yao's own strength.

It's just that there are exceptions to everything, and he can't guarantee that nothing will go wrong.

Following the route indicated on the scroll, the two arrived at a high wall unimpeded all the way.Without the slightest hesitation, Mo Juren immediately called out the flying sword to slash several times, and a simple stone door emerged.

Inside is a small secret room, not more than two feet high, only five or six feet long and wide, and the floor is covered with thick dust.And in the center of the secret room, a simple teleportation array was impressively built.

The two entered the secret room one after another, and Mo Juren blocked the stone door again with extreme caution, and then cast a spell to restore the stone wall to its original state, and then called Han Li to step into the formation together.

Don't look at how crude the array is, it looks like it has been abandoned, but it can still be used.After the spirit stone was embedded, the formation was instantly activated, a flash of white light flashed, and the two disappeared.

……

"Boom boom boom..." The violent roar continued one after another, as if someone was attacking something with all their strength.

At the same time, in the dilapidated teleportation formation, Mo Juren and Han Li showed their figures, their eyes followed the sound, but they were a familiar figure, and they were driving the magic weapon to attack a restricted place with all their strength.

"Yuan Yao!" Han Li looked slightly surprised. He didn't expect to meet this woman again. It was really fate.

Mo Juren also heaved a sigh of relief, luckily his prediction was correct, everything is still under control.He also ignored the woman, but slowly walked out of the teleportation array, looking around carefully.

A top-level spiritual vein is sealed here, making the surrounding spiritual energy extremely strong. In a pool a few meters away in front, the water is rare milky white, and exudes bursts of strange fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

This is naturally the fountain of spiritual eyes, but Mo Juren is more concerned about a dragon head relief made of white jade on the distant stone wall. Unfortunately, there is nothing underneath.

"It seems that Wannian Lingrui has been put away by the other party." Mo Juren's heart moved slightly, but he didn't say anything immediately.

"Senior Mo, Brother Han, it turned out to be you!" The moment Yuan Yao sensed the approaching person, her heart skipped a beat and she immediately stopped attacking.

After waiting to see the appearance of the person coming, his expression softened a little.However, he still didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

Left and right are only a few faces, not so deep friendship.What's more, such things are so precious in the restriction, even true friends may turn their faces here.

Thinking of this, she became more and more anxious.

"So it's Miss Yuan! It's a pleasure to meet you!" Han Li immediately replied with cupped hands.

"Senior Mo, Brother Han, why did you come here?"

"Accidentally came across a teleportation array, I didn't expect..."

"..."

Han Li and Yuan Yao chatted speculatively, and Mo Juren didn't bother, but walked towards the north alone.That's where the restriction is, and the soul-cultivating wood he needs should be there.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Yao couldn't stand anymore, her pretty face turned pale in an instant, and subconsciously shouted anxiously: "Senior, wait a minute!"

"What's the matter?" Mo Juren frowned, stopped and said.

"Senior, I...I..." If it was Han Li, Yuan Yao might still be able to argue with reason. After all, she was the one who discovered things first, so there must always be a first-come, first-served principle.

But with Senior Mo in front of her, she was a little helpless.From the first meeting between the two parties to the goodbye just now, the other party's attitude was extremely indifferent from beginning to end, which made her instinctively terrified.

However, thinking of her purpose here, she could only bite the bullet and stammer,

"There is a soul-cultivating tree inside the restriction, no... I wonder if the senior...can you give it to the junior?"

"Soul Cultivation Wood!" Hearing this, Han Li was surprised for the first time.

"Miss Yuan is talking about one of the three sacred trees. Wearing a strange tree that can nourish the soul and soul, and gradually strengthen the spiritual consciousness?"

"It's exactly this thing!" Yuan Yao nodded, as if thinking of something, she continued after her expression dimmed,
"This item is extremely important to this junior. If... if you can agree... this junior will definitely do my best to make it up."

"Compensation? Tell me?" Mo Juren asked with his expression unchanged.

Seeing that the other party didn't reject immediately, Yuan Yao couldn't help feeling hopeful in her heart. She flipped her white palm slightly, revealing a green long-necked jade bottle. She respectfully handed it over and said:

"It contains half a bottle of Wannian Spiritual Milk. Although it is far from comparable to the Soul Cultivation Wood, it is also the most valuable thing that juniors can get."

"Ten thousand years of spiritual milk is indeed a rare and rare thing." Mo Juren stretched out his hand to take it, and after a little inspection, he suddenly said,

"This thing should come from the fountain of spiritual eyes here?"

"Senior...Senior's eyes are like torches! I..." Yuan Yao's heart sank when she heard this, and wondered if the other party directly took it as her own because of this reason?
If she really did that, she didn't seem to have anything to do.Subconsciously, she couldn't help turning her eyes to Han Li, her eyes were full of pleading.

"Uh..." Han Li was a little overwhelmed by the other party's 'pretty and pitiful' gaze. What do you think he is doing?No matter what the master decides, it is beyond his control.

Besides, although your ten-thousand-year spiritual milk is precious, it cannot be compared with the soul-nourishing wood after all, and it is still a tree that has grown here for tens of thousands of years. You can't persuade Master to give it up, can you?
However, he thought of a way, as long as the roots of this tree are handed over to him to cultivate, wouldn't everything be solved?At that time, all three of them will be able to get this wood, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best of all three.

After thinking about it, he then voice-transmitted his thoughts to Master.After all, the other party knows some of his secrets, so he should think about it. As for whether it can be done, it has nothing to do with him.

"For Li'er's sake, I agree to the exchange, but there is one condition." Mo Juren fumbled for the jade bottle in his hand, and replied directly, not trying to whet the other's appetite.

"Senior...senior, you agreed!" Yuan Yao, who had been in despair at first, couldn't help shouting excitedly when she heard such good news, and at the same time, she once again cast a grateful gaze on Han Li who was beside her.

Han Li was also a little flattered. He was just giving a suggestion, but he didn't expect his master to agree.

Although the other party knew that he had special means and abilities in cultivating elixir, he didn't know the details. It was unknown whether a ten thousand-year-old soul-cultivating tree could be successfully cultivated, or even how long it would take.

"This tree has been nourished for countless years, so it will definitely not be small in size, and Miss Yuan can't use all of it, right? You can break through the formation later, and you can cut it as needed, and leave the rest, including the root, to Mo. That's right."

"Senior, Yuan Yao is very grateful." Hearing this, Yun Yao had no objection, and immediately saluted very solemnly.

"No problem." Mo Juren nodded, and then divided the Wannian Lingrui in the jade bottle into two, and handed one of them to Han Lidao.
"Take it with you, it can save your life at critical moments."

"Thank you, master." Han Li quickly realized that this thing is too rare, and he would not be polite to his master for the real life-saving medicine.

However, seeing this scene in Yuan Yao's eyes, the envy was beyond words.It's really a blessing to have a good master, but it's a pity that I don't have such a good life, let alone a master, it's all a fluke to be able to get to the present through the rough road.

……

Nearly two days later, on the surface of the sea tens of miles away from Xutian Temple, with a flash of white light, three figures of two men and one woman emerged out of thin air.

This is of course the three of Mo Juren, who broke through the restriction and successfully obtained the legendary soul-nourishing wood. After countless years of nourishment, the length of this wood is more than one foot long, enough for three people to share.

Mo Juren only cut off an inch to refine the Soul Resurrection Pill, leaving the rest to the two of them.After the assignment was completed, the three of them were teleported out by Xutian Temple.

"There is always a banquet in the world, Miss Yuan, let's leave it here." Han Li looked at Yuan Yao, who was as beautiful as a flower, and then cupped his hands.

"Alright, Senior Mo, Brother Han, we'll meet later." Yuan Yao didn't hesitate, and after a slight bow, she turned into a ray of light and flew away.Han Li was left alone, suspended in mid-air, staring at it for a long time, until a dry cough came to his ears, and then he suddenly regained his senses, and it was the master's faintly strange gaze that caught his eyes.

"Master...Master, what are your plans for the future?" Han Li changed the subject with an unnatural expression.

"Go and complete Manbeard's commission first, and then plan to return to Tiannan." Mo Juren thought for a while, then suddenly asked,

"By the way, do you plan to go back with Teacher Wei this time?"
