A moment later, somewhere in an independent courtyard.
This is the temporary stronghold of the Yuling Sect in Tiantian City. Except for the monks in the Nascent Soul stage who have other residences, most of the monks from the sect who came to support live here.
But it was different at this time. All the monks from our sect, including several Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses, were gathered here. It was obvious that they had important matters to discuss.
Stepping into the hall, Mo Juren glanced around, but his eyes suddenly stopped somewhere.
He actually saw his 'old acquaintance' Liu Chengfeng, and Gu Yushan was also there. What was even more speechless was that the two of them nodded to him with smiles on their faces, looking very happy.
Mo Juren was complaining in his heart, but he also responded with a smile on his face, showing no displeasure at all.
Turning his eyes to another place, he saw the beautiful figure of Gu Yingjiao. Sitting next to her was another handsome male cultivator in gorgeous clothes. At this moment, he kept whispering something in a low voice with a very attentive expression.
Seeing this scene, Mo Juren suddenly laughed secretly.
He recognized this person. He was the young master of the An family of the Yuling Sect, An Yuntian, a person with excellent qualifications and family background. What's even more interesting is that this person is also a big lover. He was completely obsessed with Gu Ying the first time he met her in the Lingfeng Kingdom camp a few years ago, and he pestered her more than once in the following time.
Gu Ying was also helpless. She was devoted to the Tao and had no such intention at all. She was just worried about the other person's family background, otherwise she would have taken action directly.
This kind of situation is not unheard of. She was the most beautiful woman in Spirit Beast Mountain back then. Naturally, she had no shortage of suitors, but without exception, they all failed.
At this moment, although An Yuntian was extremely attentive, Gu Ying looked extremely calm and basically didn't reply.
Naturally, she was very bored, but it was just not easy to get angry. Suddenly noticing a familiar figure, his bright eyes suddenly lit up, with a faint hint of 'crying for help'.
It's a pity that she has completely overthought it. It is obviously impossible for him to let Mo Juren be a 'shield' without any benefit.
He nodded slightly, but walked straight to another place and sat down with Bai Yuan who also came.
The other party actually refused to save her, which made Gu Ying feel angry for no reason. She even made a vague decision that she would definitely find an opportunity to "retaliate" in the future.
"Junior Brother Mo did this, but he offended Junior Sister Gu." Bai Yuan had been paying attention to Mo Juren, and naturally noticed the situation just now, and couldn't help but smile and said.
"It's something that she can solve by herself. Why drag me over? It's not worthwhile to have a grudge against the An family for no reason." Mo Juren shook his head slightly.
"Junior brother, your character..." Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan couldn't help but laugh. However, although this statement is a bit straightforward, it is also very reasonable.
After a pause, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and his expression became serious,
"Junior brother, your reputation has been unparalleled in recent times. Almost no one in the entire Nine Nations Alliance is unaware of your existence. However, the people of Mulan are having a headache due to your magic talisman. I am afraid they will have other thoughts in the future."
Mo Juren knew that the other party was reminding him, but he was not too worried. As long as you don't go to Mulan Grassland alone, there's basically no big problem.
What he needs to be wary of is Gu Shuangpu. After what happened last time, the other party's desire to kill him is probably even stronger.
There is no need to worry too much about this. He has been lurking in the Yuling Sect for so many years. He obviously has a larger purpose and cannot be wasted on him. Even the last time, it just happened to happen.
Unless there is a better opportunity, the other party will never take the risk of exposure and take action easily.
What is more intriguing is that Gu Shuangpu did not come to support this time. It can be seen that the Mulan people have higher expectations for it and do not intend to use this secret too early.
"By the way, there is one more thing." But at this moment, Bai Yuan said again, "I'm afraid the time for the decisive battle is not far away. Bai will also participate in the battle by then. I wonder if junior brother has any extra talismans in his hands?"
"There are some more. I wonder how many senior brothers need?" Mo Juren nodded slightly and asked.
"Just have more than ten..." Bai Yuan naturally hoped that the more the better, but he was too embarrassed to say it. The other party refines spiritual talismans in the Ten Thousand Talisman Hall every day. It seems that most of them have been taken away by the Nine Nations Alliance. Even if there is any left, there will not be much.
Mo Juren didn't say anything else. With a flash of light in his hand, nearly twenty or thirty spiritual talismans emerged and he handed them directly to the other party. When the latter saw this, he suddenly looked happy and quickly put it away.
The spiritual talisman could not be taken for free, and the equivalent spiritual stone was paid according to the market price.
Although the scene of the transaction between the two was brief, it instantly attracted the attention of others around them. Especially when they saw the magic talisman that Mo Juren took out, they couldn't sit still and asked if there were any more. They were willing to pay a high price to buy it.
Naturally, Mo Juren would not refuse such a favor without any expense. However, you can't take out too much. Firstly, it will easily reveal your secrets. Secondly, too much will look cheap.
Therefore, he could only express in embarrassment that there was not much left in stock, and each person could get about three.
Even so, everyone was very satisfied. All of Mo's spiritual talismans are high-quality products that can save lives at critical moments. Any one of them is a treasure. Being able to buy three of them now is an unexpected surprise.
The transaction went smoothly, and everyone paid for the spirit stones happily, and the prices were determined according to the market price.
What Mo Juren wants is favor, and he doesn't like Lingshi, so naturally he won't take advantage of it. The only thing that made him a little unhappy was that Gu Yushan and Liu Chengfeng also got three cards each.
This is equivalent to siding with the enemy in disguise. The two of them are also going to the battlefield. What if they are unlucky and die? You might be able to escape the disaster with these talismans.
However, he took advantage of the opportunity of contact and drove another 'Wraith Mark' into Liu Chengfeng's body. Regardless of whether you can use it or not, it’s always good to be prepared.
While trading, Mo Juren was also constantly observing the changes in Gu Yushan's expression. Unexpectedly, the other party did not show anything strange from beginning to end.
This made him certain that Gu Shuangpu's affairs should not have been disclosed to him.
It's normal to think about it. Some things are secret only known by one person. Once revealed to the second person, the possibility of exposure will increase exponentially. Even if Gu Yushan is the other party's biological son, it is no exception.
Soon after, with the arrival of some remaining Yuling Sect monks, the meeting was finally about to begin.
"Everyone be quiet!" A silver-haired old man in a white robe suddenly said in a deep voice from the main seat in the middle. This person is none other than An Yuntian's ancestor, the leader of the An family.
Ancestor of the An family has always kept a low profile, spending most of his time practicing hard and barely paying attention to worldly affairs. Even Mo Juren saw the other party's true appearance for the first time.
Although he acts in a low-key manner, his influence is not weak. Being able to become the person in charge of all the monks of the Yuling Sect is enough to prove his importance. At least the other Nascent Soul monks around him respect him very much.
He glanced at the hall with deep eyes, and then said unhurriedly:
"The purpose of bringing everyone here is very simple, mainly to prepare for the upcoming decisive battle."
After hearing this, everyone's expressions changed slightly. Regarding the upcoming decisive battle, everyone basically has some speculations, but they are not sure. Now the dust has really settled.
Thinking of the strength and ferocity of the Mulan people, everyone could not help but feel sad.
"It seems that you all know this, so there is no need for me to remind you too much." Elder An looked solemn and continued,
"According to information compiled from the front line, the number of Yuanying-stage monks among the three major tribes of the Mulan people alone is close to one hundred, and there are also a lot of middle-stage Yuanying monks. Coupled with countless magicians, With the help of alien beasts and so on, his strength is terrifying.
Facing such an enemy, not to mention you, even us old guys can't guarantee that everything will be foolproof, and it's not uncommon to die accidentally.
Therefore, in the following decisive battle, everyone must obey orders, so that they can save their lives to the greatest extent. "Having said this, his eyes swept across the people in the hall again, and suddenly he raised his hand and spoke one by one,
"You, you, and the rest of you, come with me."
The dozens of monks in the Danjie stage who were called out all showed doubts, but they did not dare to ask. They immediately stood up and followed each other outside the hall.
This included Bai Yuan, Gu Ying and An Yuntian, but Mo Juren was not singled out.
He couldn't help but guess that it was because of his status as a talisman master. The Nine Nations Alliance was still waiting for him to refine a large number of talismans, so naturally they were unwilling to let him go on the battlefield.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Hanzhuo cast a look at him.
Mo Juren's heart moved slightly, then he stood up and walked out of the hall together with the other party.
Passing through a corridor, I happened to see Elder An in the garden not far away, waving dozens of huge Dharma flags and giving instructions carefully.
"They want to practice the magic circle. When they fight together, they can better display their strength and ensure their own safety." Hanzhuo noticed his hesitation and took the initiative to explain.
"What about the rest?"
"They do not meet the conditions and can only participate in the battle as a small team. The danger will be greater." As he said that, Hanzhuo suddenly looked at him and said,
"You're lucky, you're the only exception. Fellow Taoist leader Luo of the Nine Nations Alliance specially sent a message to let you stay in the Ten Thousand Talisman Hall, so you don't have to go to the battlefield to fight."
"Do you think you are lucky?" Mo Juren disagreed with the other party's statement and asked.
"Why, do you think it's because of your own strength?" Hanzhuo couldn't help but laugh. This kid has been a bit wandering recently, and he is really not humble at all.
"Is there any hidden secret in it?" Mo Juren was so keen that he immediately noticed that there was something in the other party's words.
"The Nine Nations Alliance does need your magic talisman, but your own strength is also outstanding, so it is not a bad idea to participate in the decisive battle."
"I'm here to help. Just do my best. You can't just send out tasks unscrupulously because you are stronger, right?" Mo Juren was speechless. Not to mention the 'hard work' of refining the magic talisman, he was asked to risk participating in the battle. , what did you think of him?
"You don't have to be angry. It's just that someone mentioned it but was dismissed." Hanzhuo smiled and continued,
"Fellow Daoist Luo personally sent a message. In view of your hard work during this period, and at this moment, you are likely to be on the blacklist of the Mulan people because of the magic talisman. Therefore, it is better not to participate in the decisive battle, and you can continue to refine it at the rear. Spirit Talisman. In addition, there is the Blood Lady Palace Master. This woman has great influence in the Nine Nations Alliance and also supports this. As a result, other high-level officials of the Nine Nations Alliance will have nothing to say."
"Wei Yurou?" Mo Juren looked slightly surprised. He didn't expect this woman to speak for him? Given the other party’s identity and qualifications, what he said is indeed very weighty.
"It's her." When he mentioned this woman, Hanzhuo suddenly frowned and said,
"It's strange to say that the Blood Lady Palace is weird and unpredictable. Wei Yurou's behavior is even more moody. She is an extremely difficult existence to deal with. She actually fights for your interests..."
"Maybe it's because of the transaction. After all, if something happens to me, she won't be able to get the high-level demon blood." Mo Juren guessed in his heart that the other party just needed the metallic high-level demon blood, and the amount was so large that Tiannan couldn't get it. The situation is not easy to find.
"It is possible, but you must not take it lightly. Except for transactions, do not have too much contact with them to avoid unpredictable things happening."
"Don't worry, this junior knows what's going on."
While talking, the two of them had walked out of the yard and appeared on the street.
Mo Juren was a little surprised. Wasn't it a meeting? Why did he come out with him?
"I'm just calling you here today to make some simple arrangements. There is no other purpose. Your situation is even more special, and participating in the meeting is just a formality." Hanzhuo understood what he was thinking and explained with a smile. While walking, he continued to say,
"The reason why I called you here today is because I have another matter. This is not the place to talk. Follow me to my residence first."
Nascent Soul stage monks are naturally different and do not need to live in an inn or the like. In order to show respect, the Nine-Nation Alliance built a large number of VIP buildings in an empty corner.
After passing through several streets, the two of them had arrived in front of a huge white light curtain. Behind the light curtain, they could vaguely see independent attics, with different styles, but all of them were exquisitely built.
There were other monks passing by nearby. When they looked at the attic group inside the light curtain, they all showed awe and envy. That's all. No one dared to stay too long and left quickly.
This was not Mo Juren's first time here, and he was very familiar with this place. As Hanzhuo pointed out his finger, the light curtain slowly parted, and the two of them walked in one after another.
A moment later, in a loft somewhere, the two of them had already sat down one after another. At this moment, Hanzhuo suddenly waved his arm, and immediately, several black lights flew out, and five jet-black jade bottles with ink-like bodies appeared on the table. above.
"This is..." Mo Juren was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized it and said in surprise,
"Is that thing finished?"
"That's right!" Hanzhuo smiled and nodded, then said,
"I asked a friend who is good at refining pills, and finally succeeded in refining a batch of 'Three Yuan Heart-Protecting Pills' not long ago, with a total of nine pills. I kept four pills as spares, and the remaining five pills You put it away. In addition, this elixir is originally from an ancient elixir. Its effect is extraordinary, especially for monks' heart repair. According to the description of the elixir, even if the heart is severely injured, just one pill will heal the heart. It can be restored as before.”
"Are four enough?" Mo Juren picked up one of the jade bottles and asked.
"Theoretically, one is enough, but just in case, I kept four." Hearing the concern in the other party's words, Hanzhuo immediately smiled with relief, and then explained,
"Although the Taiyin Marrow Cleansing Technique is against the heavens, the most important thing about it is not the elixir, nor the Taiyin Divine Refining Formation. The two are only auxiliary.
If you want to use this method to cleanse your marrow and cut your veins, you must be the most important person in the main formation. Only those who are strong at the Nascent Soul stage and above, whether it is the strength of their spiritual consciousness or the control of their magic power, are the prerequisites for true success. "
