"You and I are familiar, so there's no need to thank you. Can you tell Mo what's going on? Of course, if it's inconvenient, forget it. Just pretend I didn't ask." Mo Juren shook his head slightly.
The sea area here is already on the edge of the inland sea and is extremely remote. How could the other party appear here? It even provoked difficult monster insects like the 'Black-winged Bee'.
"The grace of saving a life is unforgettable. Even if the seniors don't ask, the juniors should take the initiative to tell..." Zhuo Ruting did not hesitate and began to explain slowly.
The thing is actually very simple. A few months ago, Zhuo Ruting was ordered to go to an island on the edge of the inland sea to collect a unique mineral called 'Yunleisha'.
Everything was going smoothly, but I never thought that when I was about to return, I discovered a dilapidated ruins deep in the island. I was so happy that I planned to take the disciples into it to investigate.
Unfortunately, she overestimated herself. With her strength in the foundation building stage and a group of Qi training stage disciples, how could she succeed? As soon as she entered, she encountered an overwhelming number of 'black-winged bees'.
Fortunately, she reacted in time and escaped with her disciples. However, she was the least injured. All the disciples were bitten by the swarm and fell unconscious after barely boarding the spaceship.
After that, there was a frantic escape. After two days and two nights of flying, most of the swarm had been thrown away, but the remaining ones were chasing after them as if they had eaten weights. This was the scene before.
"Yun Lei Sha!" Mo Juren just asked casually, not really paying attention to his 'thrilling' encounter. He was even slightly interested in the dilapidated ruins mentioned by the other party, but was not tempted.
He has too many treasures, there are about ten ancient treasures of various types, and there is even an imitation spiritual treasure.
Those are the only things that may exist in the so-called ruins. He no longer wants to spend time looking for some unnecessary treasures. After the things here are dealt with, seize the time to practice.
However, when he heard the words 'Yun Lei Sha', he couldn't help but his expression moved slightly. This mineral is very special. It cannot be used to refine magic weapons. On the contrary, it is the best nutrient for cultivating some thunder-attribute spiritual plants.
Thunder attribute spiritual plants are inherently rare, and all of them are rare. Therefore, any monk who possesses this kind of spiritual plant and intends to cultivate it will be perfect, and 'Yun Lei Sha' is the most suitable choice.
Unfortunately, there are not many of these things, and they only form in some special areas. The Miaoyin Sect has gone through a long time, but it has only mastered one point.
For Mo Juren, when he heard the name of this thing, he instantly thought of something in his mind, and something strange flashed in his eyes.
After explaining everything, Zhuo Ruting didn't stop for much and immediately said goodbye.
Mo Juren naturally had no objection and watched the other party leave with a smile. However, before he left, he specifically warned him not to reveal his appearance here to too many people. It was best to pretend that what happened today had never happened.
Zhuo Ruting was a little surprised, and her heart was full of doubts. This doesn't involve any secrets, so why hide it?
She inadvertently looked at the island below, and her heart moved. She was so smart that she guessed something almost instantly.
She was very sensible and did not ask too much. She directly swore that she would never reveal a word about what happened today and would only treat it as a lucky escape.
Mo Juren couldn't help but nodded slightly, and then watched the other party leave. When he gradually disappeared at the end of the sky, he murmured in a low voice:
"Collecting Yun Lei Sand, could it be that Wang Ying has obtained the 'Tian Lei Bamboo'?"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ponder to himself, the 'Heavenly Thunder Bamboo' is not an ordinary thing. It can be ranked among the three sacred trees in the world of immortality. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a treasure.
He naturally wanted to get it. Wouldn't it be perfect to let Han Li cultivate it and eventually harvest some Golden Thunder Bamboo? In that case, a large amount of evil-fighting divine thunder can be stored in the thunder star ring within the Dantian.
He and Wang Ying have a good relationship, so it is not a problem to ask for a share.
Of course, this matter is not urgent and will be considered after returning home. Besides, since people collect Yunlei Sand, they naturally plan to cultivate it themselves, and maybe it can grow into a treasure of the town sect.
This is of course impossible. It is not so easy to successfully cultivate one of the three sacred trees in the world of immortality. When its cultivation fails, it is not too late to trade again when you know it is not feasible and choose to take action.
It’s better not to dampen the other party’s enthusiasm now. The top priority is to resolve the matter of Old Ghost Xuan Gu first.
Not long after, Mo Juren had passed through the yellow sand area again, and met Xiao Jin who was waiting anxiously.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." He reassured the other person, then turned his head again and looked at the yellow fog in front of the mountain. If you want to enter it, you must first break the formation.
This is not an ordinary formation, and it is not that easy to break. Mo Juren didn't have a clue for the time being, so he could only refer to Han Li's method in the original work, rely on formations to fight, and break the outer illusion formation first.
This is also the most time-saving and labor-saving method, as it does not require him to expend his own mana.
A moment later, a set of 'Beidou Liangyi Formation' was suspended in the sky above the yellow fog. As Mo Juren injected mana, all the formation flags began to vibrate.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of light pillars spurted out from various array flags, converging into a thicker light pillar in mid-air, and shot straight into the mist below.
There was nothing at first, but as the number of attacks gradually increased, the originally lifeless yellow mist finally began to change, like boiling water boiling, and began to roll violently...
Mo Juren always looked calm and continued to control the formation above to bombard continuously. Finally, with the passage of time, the yellow mist below could no longer hold on. As a series of deafening explosions sounded, it dissipated in an instant, revealing a layer of faint yellow light covering the surrounding area. An area of more than ten feet.
The mask was thick and somewhat turbid, and seemed to have several layers inside, which was obviously extremely stable.
You can vaguely see a round pillar several feet high standing in the center, and the rest can no longer be seen clearly. It also has the function of isolating the detection of spiritual consciousness. Once the spiritual consciousness touches the light mask, it will be immediately bounced back and cannot penetrate at all.
What's even weirder is that there are countless slender seven-color light strips interspersed between the layers of the mask, constantly traveling along the interior, as if they are alive.
"It's not easy!" After some exploration, Mo Juren couldn't help but sigh softly. In the original line of fate, it took Han Li and another formation master more than three months to break the formation, which shows that it is not an easy task.
He was not depressed. Firstly, he had plenty of time, and secondly, he had a long time to understand the formations. Even if he could not be called a master, he was not far behind. In addition, he carried a lot of powerful power with him. The assistance of formation equipment is sufficient to achieve the purpose.
Thinking of this, he immediately found a place to sit cross-legged, then took out a jade slip and began to study it carefully.
…
"Boom boom..."
In the sky above the formation, a strange formation was operating at an extremely fast speed. Countless blue ice cones were like a violent storm, constantly bombarding the light barrier below.
At the same time, a giant ape with a height of more than ten feet suddenly stood aside, holding a huge golden stick and violently attacking somewhere in the light shield.
Facing such a strong and intensive offensive, the light shield has become precarious, shaking more and more violently. Soon, with the sound of shattering, it turned into dots of starlight and disappeared.
"Very good, another level has been breached!" Seeing this scene, Mo Juren, who was responsible for controlling the formation, couldn't help but smile.
More than two months have passed before I knew it. With Xin Ruyin's recorded experience of breaking the formation, I continued to detect and find the flaws in the formation in front of me, and the harvest was far beyond imagination.
Not only did he successfully break through several layers of light masks, but the key was that through this operation, his original theoretical knowledge on the formation was put into practical use, and his understanding of the formation was significantly improved.
The formation in front of him was really difficult, and it probably took a lot of effort from the old monster Ji Yin. It only took him more than two months to break through half of it, and the other half was not easy either.
He was not in a hurry. He had plenty of time anyway, so it would be good to treat it as an opportunity to learn and improve.
He raised his hand and waved at the red golden ape in the distance, signaling the other party to take a break and recover the depleted demonic power.
This period of time has exhausted him. He only controls the formation and does not suffer much loss. However, the red golden ape is the main force. Whenever the node position is discovered, the other party is responsible for attacking. Xiao Jin on the side wanted to help, but unfortunately, with only level 4, her attack power was not very good, so she was too lazy to do these useless efforts.
Withdrawing his thoughts, he looked at the formation ahead again.
At this time, between the light masks, the seven-color light bands that were originally wandering around have become more and more intense. Mo Juren, who is familiar with everything, naturally knows what it is, fire demon spirit wings, a rare thing specially used to deal with the soul of the monks.
Obviously, this is also the method of the extremely sinister old monster, and its purpose is nothing more than to trap the old ghost Xuan Gu.
Mo Juren is naturally not afraid of this thing, but the situation in front of him is enough to show that it is not far away from truly breaking the formation.
While he was thinking about it, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at his waist. The double edged pendant tied there was flickering with light at this moment.
"What's going on with this girl? Why are you looking for me at this time?" Mo Juren was a little confused, and then he punched a magic spell into the jade pendant. The next moment, a familiar voice came into his ears, with a hint of urgency,
"Uncle, are you still in retreat in the cave?"
"I have some personal matters to deal with and I left Tianxing City half a year ago..." Mo Juren explained briefly and then said,
"Listen to your voice, but what's going on?"
"Uncle, your identity may have been exposed..." Ling Yuling did not hesitate and immediately began to patiently explain that it turned out to be a dispute between him and Wu Chou, and the other party might have known about his existence.
Hearing that this was the case, Mo Juren couldn't help but frown. He is not afraid of the opponent, not even the Jiyin Island behind him. With his current strength, as long as he does not commit suicide and actively jumps into the opponent's trap, he will be fine. Even so, it may not be possible to do anything to him.
The only thing that puzzled him was that he had been hiding it for so many years, and with Ling Yuling helping to cover it up, how could the other party suddenly find out about him?
"Maybe it's because of the last meeting..." Ling Yuling gave a guess and continued,
"Although Wu Chou has an extreme and ruthless personality, he acts cautiously, is suspicious and jealous, and is extremely vindictive. Although the last time we met, it was only a short moment, but he probably held a grudge because of the two concubines. Afterwards, he let It is not impossible for people to investigate deliberately. I happened to be away at that time and ignored the matter for a while. "
"That's okay!" Mo Juren was speechless. How small-minded this guy is. Wouldn't it be worth sending someone to investigate if those two concubines just looked at me for a while?
Of course, it is impossible for the other party to know too much. At most, it is found out that it was him who competed with him at the original auction, which caused him heavy losses.
"How did he find out? And, are you sure he really knew what happened at the auction, and didn't just let people investigate it out of jealousy?"
"I don't know the specific reason. In short, people from Jiyin Island have appeared in front of my uncle's cave many times not long ago, and they have secretly asked many people about uncle's information. This is why I think of it." Ling Yuling He was also a little confused, but then he said,
"Of course, I can't be 100% sure. These are just guesses and cannot be accurate, or I may be overthinking. However, after all, it is impossible for everything to be without traces. Uncle, it is best to be mentally prepared to avoid suffering losses due to negligence. .”
"I see."
The little girl also reminded her in advance out of concern, and her tone was even more urgent.
Whether it was accurate or not, this friendship touched his heart.
"Uncle has been away for so long, but has encountered any difficulties? Do you need my help? Also, when will he return to Tianxing City? The previously mentioned reclusive senior has received news that he will hold a private auction soon. , there will be a large number of rare treasures appearing, uncle, you'd better not miss it..." After talking about the business, Ling Yuling turned to other things, especially the mention of the auction, which made Mo Juren's expression move slightly.
The hermit actually plans to hold an auction, and many treasures will be released, so naturally you can't miss it. I originally planned to visit again after I had some free time in a few years, but unexpectedly this happened.
"About what time?"
"After half a year."
"That's okay." Mo Juren breathed a sigh of relief. Half a year was enough for him to resolve the matter before him and then return to Tianxing City.
"I will rush back in time, but what preparations are needed?"
"A special invitation letter is required, and the participants will be mainly Nascent Soul monks. But uncle, don't worry, just leave this matter to me."
"That's fine..."
"..."
After a while, the two ended the contact, and Mo Juren couldn't help but sigh, it was so worry-free to have the girl to help.
However, it is still important to break the big formation at the moment, try to deal with the old ghost Xuan Gu, and rush back as soon as possible. Without any further hesitation, he immediately looked at the light shield in front of him again and began to comprehend it carefully.
Perhaps it was because of the rapid improvement of his formation level that the subsequent formation was much easier to break than expected. Together with the Red Gold Ape, it only took him two months to basically break it.
