The next morning, Ling Yuling, who had regained her true appearance and changed into men's clothes, came again early in the morning, accompanied by an acquaintance, her maid Xiaoyun.
However, the moment they entered the cave, the two of them could not help but look surprised on their fair cheeks.
Mo Juren was not seen. On the contrary, two strange women stood respectfully, both of them welcoming her visit with smiles on their faces.
These two women are not very old, but each of them has an elegant temperament and pretty face. They are definitely top beauties.
The two of them couldn't help but look at each other, especially Xiaoyun, who seemed a little unhappy. She leaned directly into her young lady's ear and whispered in a low voice:
"Senior Mo actually raised two little goblins in the cave. It seems he couldn't keep up the disguise. The fox's tail was finally exposed. They are no different from other lustful men."
"Keep your voice down!" Ling Yu was speechless for a moment. He only had two maids, what's the big deal. Furthermore, could you not say it so directly that you want to go home? Even if you want to say it, it can be transmitted through the voice. This is good, it will all fall into the uncle's ears.
"My maid is not talking nonsense. Besides, Miss, you are so..." Xiaoyun was obviously a little unconvinced and wanted to scold him again, but was immediately interrupted by the other party.
"You damn girl, why don't you shut up!"
At this time, Ling Yuling's cheeks were flushed, and even wearing men's clothing could not hide her charming look at that moment.
This scene was seen by Mo Juren who had just walked out. He couldn't help but be startled for a moment, then came back to his senses and joked with a smile: "This little girl is so courageous, she even said bad things about Mo in person!"
"I...I'm just telling the truth." Xiaoyun was still a little scared when she saw the real owner. Her voice suddenly became quieter, but her attitude did not change at all.
"As an upright man, Mo, can't he have two pretty maids by his side?" Mo Juren stood still and asked again with a smile.
After hearing this, Xiaoyun suddenly became speechless. She didn't know how to answer for a while. As a monk in the Danjie stage, it is normal to have more than two maids by your side. She just complained about her young lady and subconsciously ignored the facts.
"Uncle, don't blame me, Yun'er didn't mean any harm..." Ling Yuling quickly apologized, but Mo Juren smiled slightly and said,
"I'm not that stingy. Sit down quickly."
He invited the other party to sit down at the stone table, and then nodded to the maid next to him. In an instant, the two women began to work on their own, one cleaning the tea set, the other boiling water to make tea, doing it in a decent manner.
Ling Yuling glanced at it, but didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she took off a storage bag from her waist and placed it on the table.
"I just went to the Secret Pavilion. After careful questioning, I basically collected 70% of the resources on the jade slips, and they are all here."
"Seventy percent!" There was another 20%, and Mo Juren was naturally overjoyed. He then took the storage bag and began to examine it carefully. After some comparison, it was found that the materials for refining the seventh-level Xuanjing Centipede Demon Blood were basically collected, except for the last material called 'Dazzling Yang Earth'.
As for the soul-restoring pill, he did not write about the most important one, the 'Ten Thousand Years Soul-nurturing Wood', but collected all the rest. This really surprised him, and it also meant that Xiao Qi's problem was solved. After one line, you can start refining immediately.
In addition, most of the materials for refining the eighth-level demon blood were collected. Of course, there is no need to worry about this. Even if he finds them all, it will be useless. He still lacks an eighth-level demon soul.
The spirit of the great demon in the transformation stage is not that easy to obtain, at least it is difficult for him now. Or you can find a Nascent Soul monk who practices water-attribute skills to replace him, but this is also not an easy task.
In short, this matter requires long-term planning. There must be a road to the mountain, and it can always be solved.
"These things are all hard to find in the world. The price should not be low, right?" Withdrawing his consciousness, Mo Juren asked directly. As the level of blood refining increases, the resources required become more and more precious, and the price naturally rises. What's more important is that in many cases, even if there is no shortage of spiritual stones, you may not be able to buy them. You still need to be lucky enough and someone happens to have the goods.
"It's not that high. Let's give it a round number, one million spirit stones." Ling Yuling replied calmly.
"One million!" After hearing the price, Mo Juren thought for a moment. This amount is naturally not much, and it is much cheaper than the auction house. Even according to the normal store price, it is still about 30% lower.
It was obvious that this girl was giving him special care again. If this behavior of poaching one's own family every time comes to the ears of the Star Palace Twin Saints, I wonder if they will be pissed to death?
"Uncle, don't worry too much about this. This thing is really nothing to the secret library. As long as you are not messing around, no one will care about it." Guessing what the other party was thinking, Ling Yuling comforted her again.
"You are clearly making me owe a favor!" Mo Juren couldn't help but shook his head slightly, but he also understood that even if he insisted on giving more, the other party would definitely not accept it. He didn't want to keep pushing back and forth with the other party because of this matter, which would make him seem alienated. When the right time came, he could make up for it in other ways.
"Will uncle refuse?" Ling Yuling smiled slyly.
"Refuse to do anything." Mo Juren put the things away directly, but also smiled,
"Besides, I have to recognize favors. It seems normal for a 'lecher' like me to occasionally do something 'ungrateful'."
"Uncle, don't blame Yun'er, she really didn't mean it." Ling Yuling naturally heard the ridicule in the other party's words, but apologized sincerely again. As he said that, he winked wildly at Xiaoyun beside him. The latter also knew that his young lady was a little angry, so she quickly whispered,
"Mo...Senior Mo, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't say bad things about you."
"It's okay to say it, just don't do it in person." Mo Juren laughed. Naturally, he would not really care about such a trivial matter with the other party. While speaking, he waved his arm lightly, and a storage bag appeared.
"There are probably tens of millions in it, and any extra should be regarded as your hard work."
"With the hard work of tens of thousands of spirit stones, wouldn't I make a lot of money? This kind of business is cost-effective. I hope that uncle will take care of me in the future?" Ling Yuling's eyes flashed slightly and she said with a smile. He put it away without counting, but his expression moved again and he asked about another thing:
"Yesterday, uncle said he wanted to give me a gift in return. Have you thought about it?"
"You might as well take a guess?" Mo Juren smiled but did not answer. At this time, the two pretty maids on the side had already brewed the spirit tea and brought it up elegantly.
"Try it and see how it tastes?"
"Let me guess?" Smelling the strong fragrance of tea, Ling Yuling fell into deep thought.
It is impossible for the other party to know his true identity, but he also knows that he has a very deep background in the Star Palace. Otherwise, how can he freely enter and exit the secret vault, and even buy and sell the things inside at will?
Obviously, he has no shortage of treasure materials and so on. This should not be unexpected given the other party's wisdom.
But besides these things, what else can be given as a gift? Could it be a special jewelry? This aspect is the most likely. After all, for women, the more clothes, jewelry, etc., the better.
"Is it an accessory?"
"Guess again." Mo Juren took a sip of tea and continued.
"Are they nice clothes?"
"Guess again."
"Still guessing!" Ling Yuling was a little confused now. If it wasn't this category, what could it be? You can't really give away some treasures, elixirs or the like, right? Although she would accept it happily, it was not a surprise.
"Uncle, please stop being so secretive and tell me quickly." Not only her, but Xiaoyun on the side also showed curiosity.
"Okay, okay." He started acting coquettishly, and Mo Juren didn't bother to whet his appetite any more. Slowly putting down the tea cup, she waved her palm gently. In an instant, the two maids who were originally smiling suddenly lit up with white light. In the next moment, they turned into two palm-sized white jade dolls.
Putting things on the table, he asked,
"See if you like it?"
"This... is actually a puppet!" Ling Yuling was stunned. As the young master of Xing Palace, what good thing has he not seen? Naturally, puppets are no stranger to him. However, she has seen many types of puppets, but none of them have such high spirituality and are no different from real people.
This is naturally the second of the ten 'desire puppets' that Mo Juren got from the demon.
After more than a year of research on "Magic Puppetry", he has basically figured out the key to refining this kind of puppet.
Especially these two, because they are to be given away, naturally they cannot remain in the same situation as before. All the deceptive restrictions have been removed by him, and even the original memories have been cleansed.
In the end, all that was left was her ability as an ordinary maid. But even so, such a high level of spirituality is almost non-existent in today's world of immortality.
"Things may be different from what you think. Just check and you will understand." Mo Juren knew why the other party was so shocked and immediately reminded him.
Ling Yuling didn't hesitate and immediately picked up one and started to explore it. After a moment, he withdrew his consciousness, and his originally calm expression suddenly became solemn.
"Is there a living soul sealed in it?" No wonder she had such an expression. She refined the human soul into the puppet. Not to mention the difficulty involved, the key point was that it was a bit cruel to do so. This means that the refined person cannot even enter reincarnation, and can only be driven for eternity.
This kind of thing is probably only done by some demonic monks with extremely extreme personalities. It's no wonder that this puppet is so spiritual. It turns out to be this reason.
Naturally, she didn't think it was made by the other party. Firstly, she believed in the other party's character, and secondly, such a 'bloody thing' was obviously not suitable to be given as a gift.
After looking at it for a moment again, her guess was finally confirmed. This thing is full of ancient charm. It is obviously very old. I am afraid it was obtained from an ancient ruins.
"That's right." Mo Juren nodded. What was sealed inside was the living soul of the half-demon clan in the secret realm. It was also carefully selected by the demon spirits for countless years, and then refined through some special means. It can be said to be extremely precious, or it can be said to be extremely cruel, but no matter what, these living souls have been integrated with the puppets, and they are both prosperous and destructive.
Ling Yuling was naturally very knowledgeable. She understood something in an instant and could only sigh softly. That's fine. If two puppets follow you, you won't be treated harshly, so you can just be two maids with peace of mind.
Or give it to your father? No, my mother would definitely not agree with her personality.
"Thank you for the gift, uncle. I like it very much." Ling Yuling put away the puppet and smiled.
"As long as you like it, my thoughts are finally not in vain." Mo Juren also informed the other party of the refining method. Only after recognizing its owner can this thing drive Ruyi.
Ling Yuling had other things of her own to do. After finishing the business, she didn't stay any longer and said goodbye immediately. After he left the cave, Mo Juren took out a blue ball and immediately began to activate it.
…
On the 41st floor of the Holy Mountain, in the small courtyard, an ugly figure was sitting cross-legged and practicing with his eyes closed. But at this moment, his expression suddenly moved slightly, and his eyes opened.
There was a flash of brilliance in his hand, and a blue bead emerged. At this moment, it was constantly flashing a blue light.
"Master is here! Didn't you go back to Tiannan? Why did you return to Tianxing City so quickly?" The ugly man frowned, but without hesitation, he stood up and left immediately.
Suddenly, he suddenly thought of something, and then turned around and entered the inner room. When he walked out again not long after, there was a storage bag around his waist.
After walking out of the cave, the ugly man looked around carefully, then turned into a streak of blood and rose into the sky, reaching the forty-fifth floor in the blink of an eye.
"Master is indeed back." Looking at the changed formation in the cave in front of him, the ugly man nodded slightly. But at this moment, the light curtain formed by the formation began to surge, and a narrow passage emerged.
He didn't hesitate, and immediately stepped into it, and the passage slowly closed, returning to its original state again.
…
"Disciple pays homage to master!" After entering the small courtyard, when he saw the familiar face in front of him, the ugly man, who was also the incarnation of Han Li, immediately saluted respectfully.
"Get up quickly." A smile appeared on Mo Juren's face, and he immediately asked the other party to sit down. Just as he was about to pour him a cup of spiritual tea, he suddenly thought of the other party's identity and stopped immediately.

"I forgot that you are an incarnation. It's a pity that this is the best spiritual tea. I got it accidentally from a secret place somewhere. It is very precious."
"It's a pity. I will take some with me when I leave, so I can taste it later." Han Li chuckled, which made Mo Juren completely shocked.
"When did you become so shameless?"
"I don't dare to refuse the gift given by the elders. Master has his whole heart, how can I let my disciple down?" Han Li looked sincere, but those who didn't know it really thought it was for the sake of others.
They had not seen each other for many years, but the relationship between the master and the disciple was not cold at all, and their words showed closeness. Both Mo Juren and Han Li enjoyed this feeling, it was very warm.
"How is your cultivation?" Putting down the tea cup, Mo Juren asked again.
"We have reached the peak of foundation building, but my disciple's spiritual root qualifications are too poor. I plan to successfully cultivate the third level of "Dayan Jue" first, and then make a breakthrough later." Han Li did not hide anything and explained immediately.
"You have thought it through very carefully. You really can't rush this matter. Just take your time." Mo Juren nodded and continued,
"My teacher is waiting for the day when you succeed, and I will give you a big gift then."
