Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

In the past, there was a disturbance in the open sea, and Mo Juren took the opportunity to completely bring Qiyuen Island under the control of Xinggong. Now, about a hundred years have passed, and earth-shaking changes have already taken place here.

The scale of Black Stone City has become increasingly larger. It is no longer the shabby little city with a radius of only twenty miles as it used to be. Instead, it has been continuously expanded on the original basis, and the overall area has more than doubled.

The buildings inside are no longer all low-rise bungalows, but have been replaced by various tall buildings, which are extremely spectacular at first glance.

The streets are wide and clean, with a constant stream of pedestrians, but more than 90% of them are monks. The scene in the past where there were handsome men and beautiful women from mortal worlds everywhere, and even openly accompanying and soliciting customers, is no longer there.

It’s not that the flesh trade has completely disappeared. On the contrary, there are still some businesses similar to brothels. After all, certain needs are part of human nature and will not disappear.

It would not be appropriate to ban it completely, but there are not many such businesses.

Today, Black Rock City only retains its former name, but in essence it can no longer be called Black Rock City. Its overall architecture no longer uses the iconic black boulders as the main construction body.

The geographical location here is superior. In addition, the environment has been stable for nearly a hundred years. With the deliberate support of the Star Palace, commercial activities here are extremely prosperous. There are all kinds of priceless spiritual beasts, rare materials, and so on.

Walking on the street, looking at the scene where everything has changed and people have changed, Mo Juren couldn't help but sigh.

A hundred years is a lifetime for mortals, but for monks, it is just a blink of an eye.

  This was the case with Chaos Star Sea, and so were Tiannan, Wulong Sea, and even Dajin? Especially Tiannan, as the place where he was born, he didn't know what it would be like if he went back again.

"Hey, Brother Mo!" Just as he was thinking, a familiar female voice suddenly sounded in his ears. He turned his head subconsciously and saw that it was Fairy Yunxia from Lingjian Valley.

There were several familiar figures following him, one of whom was the Fairy Bi Yue.

This woman once fell into the hands of the Six Paths and was completely transformed into a demon. Of course, this also included the cultivators of other sects, who were originally placed in Tianxing City.

Later, because time dragged on for a long time, and Bing Feng happened to be planning to go to Wulong Sea, she simply let her take these people with her. It was only after Yuan Sha personally took action that they were rescued.

It was precisely because the person who took action was Yuansha that these people did not suffer damage to their foundation. Otherwise, they would not have been able to make any progress in their cultivation for the rest of their lives.

For the master and disciple Yunxia and Biyue, they owed Mo Juren for saving their lives more than once. Seeing their benefactor again at this moment, they were naturally very excited.

"It's you. What's the matter that brought you to Qiyuan Island? And Miss Biyue, how are you recovering?" Mo Juren asked in a friendly tone with a smile on his face.

"Thanks to the help of fellow Taoist, the girl is no longer in danger. We came here this time to purchase some special materials, which can only be produced in the waters of Qiyuen Island..." Fairy Yunxia did not hide anything and explained the situation immediately.

"So that's how it is. Did you buy that thing?" Mo Juren nodded and asked again.

"Not yet. Some of them are extremely precious and cannot be bought on the market. I happened to hear that an ancient secret realm appeared in the waters of Qiyuen Island not long ago. Many cultivators went deep into it and gained a lot, which seemed to include what I need. The cultivators who entered the secret realm this time did not dare to keep the things for themselves because they were not strong enough. Most of the things will be sold at the big auction in three days, so I came here to try my luck..." When mentioning this, Fairy Yunxia immediately showed helplessness.

"Do you have a specific target? For example, which fellow Taoists specifically own this item?"

"This... the grand auction has its own rules, and matters involving privacy will not be disclosed to the outside..." Fairy Yunxia sighed again.

Although she is also a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, her strength and influence are too weak, and she has no qualifications to break the rules.

This auction was jointly organized by the four major business alliances. Facing such a behemoth, even she, as the leader of a sect, was insignificant.

"So that's how it is." Mo Juren nodded again, and released his spiritual sense. In an instant, he locked onto a figure, and then moved his lips slightly and transmitted a message.

In just a moment, a beam of light shot out from somewhere in the city.

"Brother Mo, it's really you." The man who came was also a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, but he was dressed in a white robe. He was the garrison elder left on this island by the Star Palace.

  "Brother Zhao, long time no see." Mo Juren nodded slightly and asked again,

"Brother Zhao, how much do you know about the big auction in three days? Who is the person in charge?"

"So that's what it is. I do know that..." Elder Zhao laughed and recounted the situation immediately. The information he mentioned was similar to what Fairy Yunxia had just said.

Since the four major business alliances decided to jointly host the auction at the last minute, the standard of this auction was very high, and many Yuanying stage powerhouses also rushed from the inland sea to participate.

"As for the person in charge, it is Brother Tong from Fengle Merchant Alliance. I am familiar with him. Brother Mo specifically asked about this, but what is the matter?"

  "It's not a big deal..." Mo Juren laughed and told the other party about Fairy Yunxia's situation. After listening, Elder Zhao suddenly showed a look of enlightenment.

“So that’s how it is. If it were someone else, this would indeed be a bit difficult. After all, the four major business alliances have their own rules, and they can’t be changed at will.

But Brother Mo is different. I believe that as long as you show up, both Fellow Daoist Tong and the leaders of the other three business alliances will give you face."

"Then I'll trouble Brother Zhao to introduce me to one or two."

"It's a small matter, Brother Mo, why are you being so polite? Just follow me. I just got some top-grade spiritual tea not long ago. I heard that you are particularly fond of this tea, so I will help you taste it..."

Everyone followed Elder Zhao back to his residence. While drinking tea, they also sent their subordinates to invite representatives from the four major business alliances, including Elder Tong.

Upon hearing that a distinguished guest like Mo Juren was present, the four Nascent Soul cultivators all behaved extremely enthusiastically and arrived one after another not long after.

Naturally, some greetings were inevitable, and when the four heard the request mentioned by Mo Juren, they made a decision without even thinking about it. They immediately had those materials removed from the auction list and had them delivered as soon as possible.

The whole process was so smooth that Fairy Yunxia, ​​who was sitting next to her, was stunned. Not long ago, she was worried about whether she could buy all the materials in the fierce competition at the auction.

However, now that Mo Juren took action, the problem was solved so easily, and the cost was pitifully small, just a considerable amount of spirit stones.

This was far beyond her expectations. After all, according to common sense, precious materials of this level could not be purchased with spirit stones and could only be exchanged for other items.

She once again felt the other party's power, not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of unparalleled influence.

……

The matter of Fairy Yunxia was just a small episode. Mo Juren helped out and then did not stay any longer. He said goodbye and left.

With the speed of the Tianxuan Divine Ship, without any delay, it had reached the depths of the Ten Thousand Feet Sea in just a few months. On the way, they encountered more high-level monsters, and some of the violent ones couldn't help but want to show up to stop them. In response, Mo Juren had no intention of restraining himself, but stood directly on the deck, with a vast aura that was not concealed, causing those high-level monsters who originally had some ideas to retreat.

Not long after, he finally arrived above Yuanxing Island. Princess Li Shu, who had received the news in advance, had already led Princess Biluo, Xiaoqi and Zhuiyue to wait outside.

In addition to the four women, he also saw another figure that surprised him. It was Princess Ziyun, whom he had met once in the past. She unexpectedly appeared here as well.

"Friend Mo, long time no see." The moment she saw Mo Juren, Princess Li Shu smiled brightly, with a hint of implicit respect in her friendliness.

"It's been a long time since we last met. I would like to congratulate Your Highness for finally breaking through to the final stage of transformation. This is great news for the entire royal court." After looking at the other party for a while, Mo Juren laughed and said.

"Compared with Fellow Daoist Mo, my progress is really insignificant." Princess Li Shu shook her head slightly.

"This is not the place to talk. Fellow Daoist, you have come from afar, please come into the island and have a chat."

"Excuse me..."

  Mo Juren was not going to be polite, and flew directly to the island with the other girls. On the way to the central hall, Princess Biluo suddenly turned her head and snorted:

"It's been many years since we last met. Could it be that you have already forgotten me?"

"Why do you say that, Your Highness?" Mo Juren asked back with a smile, his expression unchanged.

"Just now you only greeted Sister Li Shu, but didn't even bother to pay attention to me, isn't that right?"

"Your Highness, you are joking. I just arrived and haven't had time yet." Mo Juren couldn't help but laugh. Sure enough, this girl was the most unreasonable one. She could blame him for all this.

"Besides, it's not just you. When I saw Xiao Qi, Zhui Yue, and even Princess Zi Yun, didn't they also not say hello?"

"I am so lucky that Fellow Daoist Mo still remembers me." When Princess Ziyun heard the other party mention her, she replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Mo Juren was speechless. They were indeed sisters, and this one was not much better.

  He was too lazy to continue teasing the other party, and directly changed the subject and asked:

"Hasn't His Highness Ziyun always lived alone in the outer sea? When did he come to the Ten Thousand Feet Sea?"

"I am a member of the royal family. What's so strange about returning to live in the Wanzhang Sea?" Princess Ziyun's bright eyes flashed and she replied with a chuckle.

  "Return to the Wanzhang Sea to live?" Mo Juren's heart moved, and he instantly understood the meaning of the other party's words.

"So, Your Highness has moved back here completely?"

"I guess so. But to be honest, the reason why I made this decision is also related to you." Princess Ziyun nodded slightly, but what she said made Mo Juren a little confused.

Soon everyone entered the central hall, and after they took their seats, the maids served them spiritual tea.

After another round of greetings, Princess Li Shu suddenly stopped smiling and her expression became unusually serious.

  The slender white jade hand waved gently, and a powerful array force suddenly emerged, completely covering the entire hall. At this time, she opened her mouth slightly and asked directly:

"A hundred years ago, Daoist friend asked Xiao Qi and Zhui Yue to tell him about that incident, but there was no further news after that. I wonder if it is true or not?"

"I will not speak nonsense about such things, but I wonder if Your Highness is interested?" Mo Juren did not deny it, and asked back with a smile.

Upon hearing this, not only Princess Li Shu, but also Ziyun and Biluo's eyes lit up instantly, and they were unable to suppress their excitement.

"Can you tell me in detail what happened? And you were able to bring others to ascend to the spirit world together. Isn't this too incredible?"

  "Of course there is a way. As for what exactly happened..." Mo Juren suddenly paused at this point, and obviously had no intention of continuing to explain.

"Your Highness only needs to decide whether you are willing to accompany Mo. There is no need to know anything else."

"There should be a price, right?" The other party did not explain in detail, but Princess Li Shu was not surprised. After all, this kind of thing was too beyond her understanding. Instead, she was more concerned about other issues.

Ascending to the spirit world, what a huge temptation! It was impossible for her not to be tempted. I believe that it would be the same for anyone.

However, she was also very clear that any gain must be accompanied by equal efforts. If the other party was willing to take others to the spiritual world, how could he not have any requirements?

"The conditions are very simple. Anyone who can follow me to the spiritual world must be someone I can completely trust. That's all." Mo Juren did not hide anything and expressed his attitude directly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the three princesses changed instantly, and they obviously understood the meaning.

They must be one's own people, which means completely submitting to the other party, and handing over life, death and fate to the other party, and losing freedom from then on.

Such conditions were indeed heavy. If the corresponding benefits were not so great, they would not only not agree to them, but would even turn against them immediately.

But again, the rewards are too great. Compared to ascending to the spiritual world, a vaster world, and having the opportunity to grow to a higher level, simply losing freedom does not seem so unacceptable.

Will you be free if you stay in the mortal world? You will still be bound by the laws of heaven. When your life span is up, life and death will disappear, and everything will be meaningless.

This is actually not a difficult choice. As long as you are not stupid, you will know how to decide.

The most critical thing here is the situation of the person who is following. Is it worth it?

First of all, it comes to character. If the other person is too bad, you will surely suffer in the future, or even live a life worse than death. It would be better for you to stay in the mortal world, at least you can live a more carefree life in your lifetime.

But if the person who follows you has a good character and has unlimited potential for future growth, then surrendering to him is not a bad thing. Instead, it is an opportunity that can be encountered but not sought after.

No matter from which perspective, Mo Juren in front of him is 200% suitable. Think about his terrifying strength and potential, and then think about the freedom that Xiaoqi and Zhuiyue will feel after following him.

If they don't seize this rare opportunity, they would be crazy.

Thinking of this, Princess Li Shu smiled slightly and suddenly asked:

"We can agree to Brother Mo's conditions, but I wonder how many places you can provide?" (End of this chapter)
