Mortal: I, Mo Juren

Chapter 104 Discovering the golden elixir that is about to die (6000 words)
ten days later.

At the intersection of the border between Vietnam and Cheqi, a group of green light slowly slowed down.

After a sound of bones colliding, a handsome and handsome man appeared.

It was Mo Fan who had been away for a year.

With a wave of his hand, Mo Fan put the Green Sword into his dantian, then patted his storage bag to summon the flying boat.

Take one step forward, step onto the flying boat, and continue flying towards the Yellow Maple Valley.

A few hours later, he stopped in front of a formation restriction.

He waved his hand and threw a communication talisman in. After a while, the formation emitted a stream of five-color glow, revealing a great avenue.

An ordinary-looking, slightly swarthy young man came out with a smile and saluted Mo Fan:

"The disciples meet the master!"

"A breakthrough?" Mo Fan glanced at Han Li in front of him and said slightly surprised.

He couldn't be surprised. In the original work, Han Li only broke through to the middle stage of foundation building when he was 28 years old.

Although because of his time travel, he guided Han Li to cultivate immortality in advance and saved several years of time.

But because of him, the Sky Palm Vase that was supposed to be exclusive to Han Li was now shared by both of them.

They even occasionally gave some elixirs to Zhang Tie and his wives. The amount of elixirs Han Li took was far less than in the original work.

"Yes, I was lucky enough to break through the bottleneck last month." Han Li smiled slightly.

"Yes, it's really rare that you can enter the middle stage of foundation building so early with your current spiritual roots." Mo Fan patted Han Li on the shoulder with emotion.

"But it's coming soon. I'll have a suitable spiritual root in a while."

"Thank you, Master!" Hearing this, Han Li's eyes lit up and he saluted Mo Fan again.

"Let's go in and tell our teacher if we have discovered anything this year."

Mo Fan put his hand on Han Li's shoulder, and the two of them walked into the cave.

……

A few dozen breaths later, the two sat cross-legged opposite each other in front of a small table.

"Disciple really has some news to tell master." Han Li smiled slightly while pouring tea for Mo Fan.

"Oh~, what's the news?" Mo Fan put the teacup in front of his nose and sniffed it, curiously asking.

"Last time, didn't the master ask the disciple to pay attention to whether there were any golden elixir monks who were about to be enthroned nearby?"

"Do you have any news about this?" Mo Fan looked overjoyed and looked at Han Li.

"Yes!" Han Li nodded.

"Where is it?" Mo Fan didn't care about drinking tea. He put the tea cup on the table and stared at Han Li.

"An ancestor of the Chen family in Fengdu Kingdom. However, this information is speculated by the disciple based on various sources and may not be accurate."

Han Li hesitated slightly.

"It doesn't matter. Let's talk about how you guessed it first." Mo Fan waved his hand and motioned for Han Li to continue.

"After receiving what you told me, master, the disciple asked people to start collecting information about the elderly golden elixir monks from several nearby countries. After getting all the information, the disciple conducted a screening and finally left the three oldest ones. , this Jindan monk surnamed Chen from Fengdu Kingdom is included in this list, he is 490 years old now, his cultivation level is only in the early stage of Jindan, and his lifespan should be around [-]."

"Isn't this still ten years away?"

"Originally, the disciple thought that we had to wait ten years, but through another piece of information, we came to a different conclusion. There is a family in Fengdu Kingdom that has always been unwilling to deal with the Chen family. This news came from this family. out.

It is said that the ancestor of the Chen family was accidentally injured while searching for life-extending elixirs. His life span was reduced instead of increased, and he was about to die.

Although the Chen family came forward to refute, the disciples recently discovered that the Chen family is secretly shrinking the industries in various cities and towns! "

"If that's the case, it's really very possible." After hearing Han Li's inference, Mo Fan pinched his chin and thought deeply.

……

Three days later.

Mo Fan finally left Rourou Township and went to Fengdu Country.

After flying for nearly ten days, he found the location of the Chen family based on the information.

At this time, he transformed into a monk in the early stage of the Golden Elixir through the secret technique of shape-changing.

He also made up the appearance out of thin air.

Anyway, he didn't plan to stay in Fengdu Kingdom for a long time, and he wasn't afraid of others getting into the matter of one-shot buying and selling.

It was similar to the time with the Wang family. As soon as he arrived in front of the formation, a member of the Chen family walked out of the formation.

He looked at Mo Fan who was flying over with a wary expression.

"I wonder why this senior came to my Chen home?"

"Of course I have something important to discuss with your ancestor when I come here, why don't you hurry up and report it!"

Mo Fan looked at the person in front of him calmly and said unceremoniously.

"Senior, wait a moment."

Although he felt unhappy, the Chen family member still took out a communication talisman from his storage bag, whispered a few times and threw it into the formation.

Mo Fan was filled with emotion when he saw that the person in front of him clearly looked unhappy with him but did not dare to show it at all.

The identity of a Golden Core monk is still useful!
If you were a monk in the foundation-building stage, you would have to make mistakes, but in the golden elixir stage it would be much simpler.

In less than a few dozen breaths, the Chen family's closed formation suddenly opened wide.

An old man with white hair and a red face came out, smiled slightly at Mo Fan and said:

"I wonder why my friend suddenly came to my Chen home?"

Glancing at the old man in front of him, Mo Fan secretly laughed inwardly.

Although the old man seemed to be in good condition on the surface, he, with his powerful spiritual consciousness, could not detect the traces of deathly energy emanating from the old man.

"This matter is related to the survival of your Chen family. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chen is interested in hearing about it?" Mo Fan opened his lips slightly and said through the voice.

"Fellow Taoist, you're just joking." The old man's eyes narrowed slightly and he said with a forced smile.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you can hide your deadly anger from others, but you can't hide it from Li."

Seeing that the ancestor of the Chen family still refused to admit it, Mo Fan raised the corner of his mouth and spoke again.

"I wonder why Fellow Daoist Li is looking for Chen?"

After being exposed by Mo Fan, the expression of the ancestor of the Chen family changed and he looked at Mo Fan solemnly.

"Li's appointment with Daoist Chen is of course a matter of mutual benefit." Mo Fan smiled confidently.

"Li Mou heard that the Fang family has always been at odds with the Chen family, so Li Mou is willing to be a middleman to settle the grievances between your two families. I wonder what Chen Daoyou would like?"

"Fellow Daoist Li, are you serious?" A trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the ancestor of the Chen family.

Isn't what he is most worried about now the revenge of his family after he was killed?

"Of course you are serious, otherwise why would Li be here with nothing to do?"

"Fellow Daoist Li, let's get straight to the point. Chen doesn't think the pie will fall in the world." The ancestor of the Chen family felt a little moved in his heart.

But he still had to listen to Mo Fan's conditions first.

If the Fang family's worries could really be solved, he could rest assured.

He is still willing to pay a certain price.

Before that, he actually found some friends.

But this group of people either didn't want to offend the Fang family for a dying man, or the lion opened its mouth.

"Okay! Li likes to deal with cheerful people like Chen Daoyou. Li's conditions are very simple.

Even for Fellow Daoist Chen, the cost is almost negligible. Li only needs Fellow Daoist Chen to cooperate with me in performing one technique. "

"What kind of technique?"

"Li needs to borrow Daoyou Chen's body to extract something..." Mo Fan later changed to sound transmission.

"Is that really the case?"

After listening to Mo Fan's message, the ancestor of the Chen family pondered for a few breaths, then raised his head and asked.

"Absolutely take it seriously. If Fellow Daoist Chen is not at ease, Li can use the Dao Dao and the inner demon to swear at the same time!"

After Mo Fan finished speaking, he swore in front of the ancestor of the Chen family.

Seeing this, the ancestor of the Chen family did not stop him. It was not until Mo Fan finished swearing that he spoke again:
"Okay! Since Fellow Daoist Li is so sincere, it would be unwise for Chen to refuse to agree."

"But I have two final requests. The first one is that Fellow Daoist Li and Chen cast a life-death curse on each other again!

The second one is that I have to go to Fang’s house in person with my Taoist friends. "

"Life and death curse? OK! No problem."

Mo Fan directly ignored the second request, briefly recalled the restrictions of the Life and Death Curse in his mind, and then agreed.

The life and death curse is very simple, it is to plant an oath prohibition in each other's mind.

As long as the vows agreed upon by both parties are not violated, there will be no impact at all.

Once the oath is violated, unless the strength gap between the two parties is too great, it will be difficult to make any progress in cultivation in the future.

Mo Fan, who has never thought of breaking his oath, is naturally not afraid of this type of oath contract.

After dozens of breaths, the two successfully signed the life and death spell.

The restriction with a trace of spiritual thoughts from both sides fell into the core of their minds.

The ancestor of the Chen family felt very good after confirming that it was correct.

The fact that the other party was able to sign a life-and-death curse with a dying man really showed his sincerity.

Even after he dies, the effect of this life-death curse will gradually weaken, but even if it cannot directly threaten the other person's life at that time, the other party still has to worry about the subsequent improvement of his cultivation level.

The further the monks practice, the more bottlenecks they face, and the higher the requirements for Taoism.

This is also the reason why Han Li was able to successfully break through to the middle stage of foundation building, but Zhang Tie, who had a fairly good spiritual root, was stuck by a bottleneck and could not advance to the middle stage of foundation building.

Speaking of the Taoist heart alone, there is no doubt that Han Li's Taoist heart is stronger than Zhang Tie's.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, it's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Let's take Li to Fang's house now."

Seeing the heartfelt smile on the Chen family ancestor's face, Mo Fan didn't want to delay.

"Okay, since Fellow Daoist Li is so sincere, how could I break my promise? Besides, I also want to resolve this matter as soon as possible."

Hearing Mo Fan's urging, the ancestor of the Chen family would not refuse. Mo Fan would urge him even if he didn't say anything. This matter is exactly what he wants.

"I'm going out for something. I'll go down and activate all the family's mountain-protecting formations. I won't see anyone during this period."

After answering Mo Fan, the ancestor of the Chen family turned to explain to a group of children of the foundation-building family.

"Yes, old man!"

Although he didn't know what the two of them said before, seeing his ancestor's happy look, the young man didn't think much about it, nodded seriously, and flew towards the formation.

Not long after this person entered, the entire formation flashed, and the shield outside became a little brighter.

"Fellow Daoist Li, please!"

Seeing that the young man followed his instructions, the ancestor of the Chen family withdrew his gaze with relief and turned to Mo Fan with a smile.

After speaking, the ancestor of the Chen family turned into a blue escaping light and flew rapidly towards the northwest.

Mo Fan, who wanted to finish the job as soon as possible and go home as soon as possible, naturally did not delay. He summoned the newly refined earth-type flying sword magic weapon and turned it into a yellow escaping light and quickly chased after him.

……

a day later.

The two arrived at the location of the Fang family.

The same mountain-protecting formation shrouded the surrounding mountains with a radius of hundreds of miles.The only difference from the Chen family is that there are far fewer disciples coming in and out of the Fang family, and there is no panic on their faces, but a faint look of joy.

These things fell into Mo Fan's eyes without any emotion.

But the ancestor of the Chen family on the side knew exactly what they were rejoicing about, and the smile on his face suddenly lost a bit, and he snorted coldly:

"Old ghost Fang! Why don't you come out to see this distinguished guest!~"

As he finished speaking, a voice with rich spiritual power exploded within a dozen miles around Fang's house.

It only took a few breaths after the voice fell.

The Fang family's mountain-protecting formation not far in front of Mo Fan finally showed some fluctuations.

A hole about ten feet wide was exposed, and a middle-aged man with a hooked nose walked out of it.

The hook-nosed middle-aged man first glanced at Mo Fan who was standing aside with some doubts in his eyes. Then he cast his gaze on the ancestor of the Chen family and asked slightly mockingly:

"Hey!~, Senior Chen! I don't know what kind of wind has brought you to our house?"

"Hmph! What qualifications do you, a junior from the Fang family, have to talk to me? Hurry up and call Old Ghost Fang out."

Glancing at the middle-aged man with a hooked nose, the ancestor of the Chen family looked disdainful.

"You..." Even though the hook-nosed middle-aged man had a lot to say in his mind, due to the fact that the two identities were really incomparable, he could only remain speechless with a livid face.

When the hook-nosed middle-aged man was furious, a red escaping light instantly penetrated the mountain guarding formation in front of several people and appeared in front of them.

"Xuan'er, please step aside for now."

The light dissipated, and an old man with half-white hair was revealed, nodding to the hook-nosed middle-aged man.

"Yes, Second Master!" The hook-nosed middle-aged man glanced at the ancestor of the Chen family angrily and retreated to the mountain-protecting formation.

"I'm sorry for my blindness, but I wonder who this fellow Taoist is?"

When the hook-nosed middle-aged man left, the old man with half a century of hair looked Mo Fan up and down, bowed his hands and asked doubtfully.

"Li is a casual cultivator, so it's normal that fellow Taoist Fang doesn't recognize him." Mo Fan bowed and replied calmly.

"Loose cultivator?" The Fang family ancestor's pupils shrank slightly, and then he said again:

"I wonder why Daoist friend Li came to our house for important reasons?"

"There is indeed one thing. Mr. Li heard that there was a slight misunderstanding between Daoyou Fang and Daoyou Chen, and he was wondering if he could be qualified to be a middleman to reconcile the two of them?"

Mo Fan didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"Fellow Daoist Li is joking. There is some misunderstanding between Daoist Friend Chen and I."

Hearing this, displeasure flashed imperceptibly in the eyes of the Fang family ancestor, but his expression did not change at all.

"Oh~, no? That would be better." Seeing that the ancestor of the Fang family didn't want to admit it, Mo Fan didn't care.

Not caring about the increasingly gloomy expression of the ancestor of the Fang family, he said slowly:
"Let's see. In order to avoid trouble in the future, how about Daoist fellow Daoist Fang and Fellow Daoist Chen sign a life-and-death curse so that the two families will not offend each other for a hundred years?"

"Fang Mou thinks this joke by Fellow Daoist Li is not funny at all."

Although he was already prepared when he saw Mo Fan coming with the ancestor of the Chen family, after hearing Mo Fan's words, he still felt increasingly angry.

If he hadn't been worried about provoking a Jindan cultivator for his family, he would have yelled loudly.

How many people in Lanzhou don't know about the feud between the Fang family and the Chen family?

Yes, this is not an ordinary conflict between the two families, but a feud!

The hatred that has lasted for two to three hundred years cannot be solved by outsiders with just a few words.

Seeing that the ancestor of the Fang family revealed that he had no intention of turning around, Mo Fan was not discouraged and grinned:
"Let's see, monks like us never rely on words, everything is based on strength."

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Fang is interested in having a few fights with Mr. Li?"

"Since Fellow Daoist Li has invited me so kindly, then Fang is offended."

Although the ancestor of the Fang family was a little wary of Mo Fan, he was furious at being forced to come to their door like this and agreed immediately.

When the ancestor of the Fang family responded, Mo Fan raised his hand and pointed.

A ray of yellow light shot rapidly towards the Fang family ancestor in an instant.

It was the earth-based flying sword magic weapon that he refined and cultivated for more than a year without any effort in cultivation.

He didn't dare to use the Green Brilliance Sword when he was alone outside. Although this thing was much stronger, it could easily reveal his identity.

He saw that the power of the earth flying sword increased sharply under the control of his five elements.

The ancestor of the Fang family opposite saw the earth flying sword coming straight towards him, and his eyes froze.

He sensed a slight crisis from it.

At the same time, I was also secretly surprised that the quality of the spiritual power on this flying sword magic weapon was very strong, but the total amount of spiritual power was much less than that of a normal golden elixir monk.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and it had reached this point, even if he couldn't defeat him, he could only fight hard.

With a pinch, a fiery red knife struck against the earth flying sword.

The two were not far apart, and the flying sword and the knife collided almost instantly.

"boom--"

Even though it was just two magic weapons no more than a few inches in size colliding, the sound was deafening.

A powerful wave of spiritual energy spread around.

Sweep away the dust and sand on the nearby ground.

The first confrontation between the two soon came to an end.

The earth flying sword was even better, knocking back the fiery red knife by a few feet.

Seeing this situation, Mo Fan smiled slightly.

The ancestor of the Chen family on the side also breathed a sigh of relief.

Mo Fan was not too surprised by this result.

The magic power in his body is the fused power of the five elements, which is already stronger than the five elements' magic power alone.

In addition, his current spiritual consciousness is comparable to that of the late Jindan.

Even if he only exerts most of his strength now, it is still enough to deal with an ordinary early-stage Jindan cultivator.

This was also a major source of confidence for him to dare to come while using the secret technique of shape-changing.

Anyway, he doesn't need to force the ancestor of the Fang family too much. He can defeat him with just a few moves.

It seems that there is no need to use the backup plan he prepared.

After all, his purpose is not to kill the opponent.

Just let the ancestor of the Fang family be afraid of him and not dare to attack the Chen family.

What's more, in Fengdu Kingdom, he didn't dare to kill other Jindan monks at will.

Not to mention that the method of killing people and robbing corpses is easily addictive and leads him astray.

The innocent death of a normal Golden Elixir monk will definitely trigger an investigation by the local Nascent Soul Stage monks.

No one knows which sect these golden elixir monks are secretly the pawns of.

Basically, all of these expatriate Golden Core monks have life cards left in the hands of those Nascent Soul monks.

Once something goes wrong, I'm afraid it will attract the attention of these Nascent Soul Stage monks immediately.

At this time, he has not changed his vitality.

And with his current spiritual consciousness and physical concealment ability, he still doesn't know whether he can hide it from the Nascent Soul Stage monks.

What worries him most is that Fengdu Kingdom, as one of the two big countries in Tiannan, is not comparable to a medium-sized country like Yue Kingdom.

As the headquarters of the Righteous Sect, there are many great monks in the late Nascent Soul period.

There are also many monks in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

Provoking these people is definitely not something he can resist now.

Of course, if he followed the rules, these Nascent Soul Stage monks wouldn't have too much time to worry about these things.

In their eyes, although the Golden Core Stage monks have a certain status, as long as no one dies, they don't bother to care.

As for the feud between these Golden Core monks, they regard it as nothing more than children's playing house.

If you want to mediate, it's just a matter of words.

Many thoughts flashed through Mo Fan's mind, and he then controlled the earth flying sword to attack the Fang family ancestor.

Infused with the power of the five elements, the earth flying sword kept pushing back the fiery red knife of the ancestor of the Fang family.

Seeing that his magic weapon had no advantage at all, the ancestor of the Fang family did not show much panic on his face.

At present, both of them are just in the exploratory stage.

Since the advantage cannot be obtained by relying on the magic weapon alone, the ancestor of the Fang family stopped delaying. He made a seal with his fingers, pointed at Mo Fan, and shouted:
"Destruction Slash!"

As the words fell, the fiery red knife that had been suppressed by the earth-type flying sword flashed, and a bright red light suddenly burst out.

The size of the knife increased dramatically, and at the same time, hundreds of knife shadows appeared all around.

A large sword nearly twenty feet in size slashed towards the earth-type flying sword with the shadow of the sword all over the sky.

The earth flying sword that was originally able to gain some advantage was instantly dimmed by the fiery red sword.

Looking at the huge disparity between the knives and swords, Mo Fan could not see any worry in his eyes, and he pointed at the earth flying sword again with an indifferent expression.

A stronger power of the five elements was instantly injected into the earth flying sword.

The release of the power of the five elements did not attract the attention of the ancestors of the Fang family and the Chen family.

First, they have never seen the power of the Five Elements.

Second, the fused power of the five elements can reveal the fluctuations of the five elements of spiritual power at will.

At this time, in the eyes of the ancestors of the Fang family and the Chen family, the power of the five elements released by Mo Fan was almost indistinguishable from the power of the earth element.

Unless these five element powers are detained and carefully examined, there will be almost no abnormalities.

After the earth flying sword was injected with a large amount of power of the five elements, a phantom of a blue lotus about seven to eight feet in size appeared from the sword.

At the same time, the earth flying sword flashed, disappeared, and merged into the shadow of the lotus.

And with the integration of the earth flying sword, the entire lotus gradually turned into reality.

When the lotus flower completely condensed into an entity, the lotus flower suddenly started spinning at high speed.

At the same time, streaks of sword energy flew out along the tips of the lotus leaves selected at high speed, making the sound of sword clanging.

This technique is exactly the secret flying sword technique that Mo Fan once extracted from a corpse in the foundation-building stage, the Green Lotus Sword Technique.

At that time, Mo Fan felt that the name Qinglian Sword Technique was good, and it happened to be the secret technique of flying sword, so he chose to fuse it.

Although this secret technique is not powerful, it is barely enough for his current use.

After all, it is a secret technique that a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage has practiced for decades.

Even if he practices at the current Golden Core stage, he may not be able to reach this level within a few years.

After the Qinglian Sword Technique was displayed, the yellow broadsword, which was pressed against the Earth Element Flying Sword, was blocked again.

The two were in a stalemate again.

It can be seen that in terms of the power of secret techniques alone, the ancestor of the Fang family is even better.

This result is also normal, after all, they are half buried in the soil.

It would be strange if the secret technique was not as good as what Mo Fan extracted from the foundation-building monks.

In this regard, Mo Fan still looked confident of winning.

Without him, he is just limited by the secret technique of shape-changing. He can only mobilize most of his mana in each shot, which does not mean that his total mana has been reduced.
