Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 979 A hundred years in a hurry

Lu Yu personally greeted and invited Mo Juren and Ling Yuling into the hall.

After a round of greetings, they each sat down. He asked the servants to bring them spiritual tea, and then asked about the purpose of their visit.

"I have come here for an extremely important matter, but before that, Brother Lu must swear with his Daoist heart that everything you heard today can only be known by you and must not be spread to anyone else." Mo Juren did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"This..." Lu Yu was stunned for a moment. It seemed that the matter was not simple. There was nothing wrong with swearing, after all, it was just to prevent it from being spread outside. However, he did not agree immediately, but turned to look at Ling Yulin.

In the eyes of all the direct families in Xinggong, Ling Yuling is the real young master and is absolutely trustworthy. Even though Mo Juren is powerful, he is still a little lacking in trustworthiness.

"Brother Lu, don't worry, it's a good thing." Ling Yuling smiled slightly and reminded him directly. Sure enough, after hearing this, Lu Yu no longer had any concerns and immediately made a vow.

Mo Juren did not care about this subtle difference in treatment. As the other party made the oath, he no longer hesitated and immediately told the purpose of his visit.

I heard that the two of them came here to select the next Master of the Star Palace, and I am one of the targets and will be the focus of training in the coming period of time.

At that moment, Lu Yu was stunned on the spot.

Happy?

That's inevitable. After all, when something good like this happens, how could you not be happy?

The Lu family was once prosperous in the past. One of their ancestors was the master of the Star Palace and his cultivation had reached the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Unfortunately, the Lu family has been in decline since then.

Restoring the family's glory and taking charge of the Star Palace again has always been the ancestral motto of the Lu family's descendants. Unfortunately, in order to achieve this, one's own strength is a prerequisite.

Not to mention breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Stage, one must at least be in the late Nascent Soul Stage, and with the support of many supreme elders and direct family members, only then will there be a possibility of inheriting the position of the Lord of the Star Palace.

Lu Yu has a very clear understanding of this.

It's not that he didn't have ideas about the Lord of the Star Palace, and I think the major families felt the same way. However, after the young master married Mo Juren, everyone's ideas quickly disappeared.

Although the young master's qualifications cannot be considered top-notch, they cannot be said to be bad either. Now that he has a strong supporter like Mo Juren, they have no chance at all.

Not to mention Mo Juren himself, there is also Fairy Leqing who is in the late Nascent Soul stage and is already the first elder of the Star Palace, Han Li who showed his strength in the turmoil in the outer sea not long ago, and Fairy Yunlan who is at the Spirit Transformation level.

These existences are like natural barriers, completely isolating the minds of all families.

Lu Yu was naturally no exception. He was much older than Ling Yuling. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to have that position in this lifetime.

However, he never expected that there would be a sudden turn of events today. The young master and his wife actually came together and announced a plan to support and train the next generation of Star Palace Masters, and he was one of the selected targets.

"Is this what the two Holy Lords meant? Why?" He was naturally happy, but besides being happy he also had endless doubts. If he didn't figure out the reason, he really didn't dare to accept it.

“The reason cannot be revealed for now. You only need to know one thing: this is a decision we made after careful consideration. There is no deception involved.

Of course, I won't force you to do this. If you are willing, that would be great. If not, then just pretend that my husband and I have not been here today."

Mo Juren did not reveal too much. After all, some things were difficult to explain, whether it was the current situation of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, or the fact that he would have to bring too many people into the space node in the future.

After hearing this, Lu Yu fell silent again. He looked at Ling Yulin and saw that she also nodded slightly. He knew in his heart that this was not a joke, but a foregone conclusion. It all depended on his choice.

In fact, he has no choice. If he gives up, he would be mentally ill.

Not to mention whether he can finally break through and become the next master of the Star Palace, just the series of things that follow, including secret techniques and various resources of support, are temptations that are absolutely irresistible.

"It is my blessing to be valued by the young master and Fellow Daoist Mo. How could I not agree? I am willing to give it a try." Without any hesitation, Lu Yu nodded slightly.

  "Very good, this matter is settled." Such an answer was expected by the two. As Mo Juren spoke, he took out a jade slip and handed it directly to the other party.

"It contains a special secret method specifically designed for fellow Taoists with wind-attributed spiritual roots. You can comprehend it first, and there will be many more resources that will be delivered to you later.

Of course, whether it is secret techniques or resources, these are just external forces that can play an auxiliary role. Whether you can truly break through to the late Nascent Soul stage and meet the conditions to succeed the Lord of the Star Palace ultimately depends on you. "

"Lu will definitely go all out and will never let the two Saints down..."

……

Not long after, with Lu Yu's warm farewell, Mo Juren and Ling Yuling said goodbye and left.

The two did not immediately look for the next target, but went straight back to the cave. Seeing this, Lu Yu could only shake his head helplessly, then turned around and went back.

Mo Juren did this naturally because he didn't want Lu Yu to know the news of other competitors. On the one hand, it could prevent them from playing dirty tricks on each other, and on the other hand, the less clear they were, the more motivating it would be.

It was not until a few days later that Mo Juren and Ling Yuling appeared silently in Chen Tianhan's cave again and told him the same plan.

Unlike Lu Yu, the latter did not ask too many questions. Moreover, with the young master present, he did not have any doubts and immediately chose to agree.

The last one is Murong Qing, who is the least noticeable one among the three. Of course, that doesn’t mean he is not good, but compared to the previous two, he is inferior in both qualifications and family background.

But this person also has his own advantages, that is, he has strong willpower and is extremely determined to practice Taoism. He is a true ascetic.

This kind of personality is obviously not suitable to be the master of the Star Palace, but it doesn’t matter. As long as he can break through to the later stage, he will also be the pillar of the Star Palace.

After learning about the training plan and knowing that he was one of the reserve candidates, Murong Qing was naturally ecstatic. Whether he could become the master of the Star Palace was not important, and he did not dare to have any extravagant hopes. The key was the subsequent allocation of resources.

This is no small matter. With this round of support, the time to break through the late Nascent Soul stage will be greatly shortened, which also means that the chance of advancing to the God Transformation stage in the future will be greatly increased.

How could he not be excited? He agreed without hesitation.

At this point, the training plan was officially launched. He would not be involved in subsequent matters and would let Ling Yulin take charge.

As for himself, he went into seclusion to practice after returning to the cave.

Han Li was also in seclusion with him. Knowing that he would have to enter a space node to sneak into the spirit world in the future, he developed a strong sense of urgency.

Naturally, he wanted to break through the Spirit Transformation Realm as soon as possible. After all, only in this way could he be of help after entering the space node. Otherwise, he could only hide in the Tianxiang Pendant.

He did not have good aptitude, but fortunately, he had obtained too many ancient recipes for elixirs from his master, and with the help of a large number of top-level elixirs, it might be possible for him to break through before setting off.

More importantly, the master had revealed in advance that he also had his share of the Magic Yuan Pill, Tianxuan Pill, and Red Dragon Pill specially prepared for the breakthrough of the Spiritual Transformation. Since he had done so much, he naturally had to work harder.

The other thing is the cultivation of spiritual medicine, which is also of utmost importance. Fortunately, such tedious work does not need to be done by oneself, and can be left to the puppets.

Speaking of which, he had obtained so many good things from his master over the years, including all kinds of nearly extinct species, that he was overwhelmed.

Especially the Xuantian Immortal Vine, which finally came back to life after being watered with the spiritual liquid in the bottle and the Huiyang Water. Who knows to what extent this heaven-defying thing will grow in the future?

Even he himself was looking forward to it.

……

Time passed quickly during the two people's retreat, and nearly a hundred years had passed without them noticing.

This was the longest time that Mo Juren had been in seclusion, and his own cultivation had also been greatly improved, directly reaching the peak realm of the late Nascent Soul stage, and he was only one step away from the Spirit Transformation stage.

During the past hundred years, he had already gathered all the resources needed to refine his bloodline, and directly upgraded his water-attributed bloodline to level eleven, which was equivalent to the early stage of human incarnation.

It is precisely because of this that his cultivation speed has not slowed down at all. However, if this is the case, it is still far from enough to successfully break through the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Perhaps it is still possible to break through, but it is very likely to take hundreds of years, which is too long.

Fortunately, not long ago, Xiaoqi and Zhuiyue had sent back news that the seeds that had been left in the Jiaolong clan were ripe and could be harvested at any time.

For the refining of the Red Dragon Pill, all kinds of auxiliary materials have been prepared long ago, only the main medicine is missing, and now it has finally arrived. The Tianxuan Pill has also been successfully refined long ago, and the Moyuan Pill has been prepared for a long time.

By then, as long as he can refine the Red Dragon Pill, and add the Tianxuan Pill and the Moyuan Pill, with the triple assistance, he will have great confidence in breaking through the last step.

With irrepressible joy, Mo Juren finally came out of seclusion.

Over the past hundred years, he has not been in seclusion, but would often come out to get together with everyone. In particular, he has practiced the secret method of dual cultivation given by the two saints, which has greatly improved the cultivation of Ling Yulin and Leqing.

The other ladies who had no spiritual roots were naturally envious. It was not that they had not tried it before, on the contrary, they had actively participated in it. It was a pity that the secret method was only for cultivators and had no effect on mortals.

But even so, the girls still did not give up and still enjoyed it.

This also meant that even after nearly a hundred years, the women did not feel any longing for him. At this moment, when he walked out of the secret room, there was not even one to greet him.

With a quick sweep of his spiritual sense, he found that all the women were practicing in seclusion. Of course, they were not cultivating immortality and refining qi, but the "Ming Wang Jue".

Over the past hundred years, he has improved the bloodlines of the women many times, and in addition, Han Li sent a large number of dragon scale fruits.

With the dual assistance, the women's cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. Despite their seemingly weak appearance, they possessed extremely strong bodies.

As the woman by his side, Mo Juren knew this very well. After all, if not for this, it would be impossible for the ladies to practice dual cultivation with him for a long time.

At this moment, there was only one figure in the back garden, and it was none other than Mo Fengwu.

Compared to others, this girl is the least motivated one. She doesn't care much about cultivation and spends most of her time cultivating spiritual medicines.

With the help of a wealth of information and books, as well as his own interest in research, he has already reached a very high level in the cultivation of spiritual medicines.

In this regard, even Han Li felt inferior to him. The back garden was now filled with exotic flowers and plants, including many species that were almost extinct in the cultivation world. These were all the masterpieces of this girl.

Mo Juren walked slowly forward, his eyes scanning the various spiritual medicines on both sides of the path one by one, and a look of approval suddenly appeared on his face.

With his enthusiasm for research, his own talent, and his support, he might be able to find a unique path of practice in time.

"Daddy..." As the sound of footsteps came, Mo Fengwu finally noticed it. She took a step forward with joy on her face and bowed slightly.

"You, I've told you many times, we are all family, there's no need to be so restrained." Mo Juren shook his head helplessly. Because she was not his biological daughter, this girl could never be as close to him as Yuzhu and Caihuan.

In fact, ever since he was brought into the Mo Mansion, he has always lived cautiously and was extremely sensitive. Apart from Li, who brought him up personally, he was not very close to anyone.

Of course, there is no gap between them, it's just her nature. This girl is just like that, calm and peaceful. Apart from her own little hobbies, she is not interested in anything.

In the beginning, everyone would give some advice, but as time went on and people gradually understood it, they would get used to it.

"Daddy is out of retreat now. Should we inform mom and the others?" Mo Fengwu didn't care at all about the other party's words which seemed like replies but were actually full of concern. She asked with a smile.

  "Let them practice well, no need to disturb them." Mo Juren shook his head slightly and continued,

"Father has something to do and needs to be away for a while. It shouldn't be too long. I'll leave the mansion to you. If you have anything, go find Qing and Yuling."

"Daughter has made a note of this. Daddy should also be careful when he goes out." Mo Fengwu nodded very seriously. Seeing this, Mo Juren no longer hesitated and turned around and left immediately.

When he reached the exit of the back garden, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the other party and said,

"The spiritual medicine is growing really well. Keep up the good work."

After saying this, the person disappeared, leaving Mo Fengwu standing there alone. Her jade-like face blossomed instantly, and for a moment all the flowers around her lost their color.

……

At the top of the holy mountain, inside the central hall, all the elders of the Star Palace are gathered here, seemingly discussing something important.

Liao Qing and Ling Yuling were also there. The two women did not speak, but just listened patiently. At this moment, suddenly a voice came into their ears.

The two women were delighted and looked at each other almost instinctively. They were thinking about whether to adjourn the meeting and leave when the voice came again. After hearing the content, they gave up their original plan.

In the Starry Sky Hall on the fiftieth floor of the Holy Mountain, Mo Juren, who had retracted his spiritual consciousness, had already stepped onto the teleportation array leading to Qiyuen Island. With the two deacons and elders bidding them farewell with apologetic smiles on their faces, the array was instantly activated.

With a flash of white light, the person disappeared.
