"Uncle promised before that no matter what I want, I will do it. And even if I don't have it now, I will try my best to find it in the future. Does this count?" Ling Yuling asked with a flash of bright eyes.
"Of course what you say counts." Mo Juren did not hesitate.
"Then I have to think about it seriously, otherwise I will suffer a big loss?" Ling Yuling smiled sweetly, but did not give an answer immediately. He seemed to have thought of something, and then changed the topic,
"By the way, uncle was interested in chromium crystals before, but is he planning to enhance his own magic weapon?"
"That's true, but we still have to find Wutongsha. This matter is not urgent. We'll talk about it when we meet later." Mo Juren nodded.
"It's a pity that there is no Wutong sand in the secret vault, otherwise I could just find it for the uncle." Ling Yuling sighed softly, and then said,
"Don't worry, uncle, I will let people pay attention to it, including other materials."
"The favor I owe you is getting bigger and bigger, and suddenly I feel like I'm just being fed up." Mo Juren joked with a smile, but he didn't know how to refuse. It is indeed difficult to repay a favor, and he cannot stop eating because of choking. He still needs to understand the priorities.
"Does uncle mind?" Although the other party was teasing, Ling Yuling's bright eyes flickered and she asked extremely seriously.
"I've already owed everything. Wouldn't it be too hypocritical to say you mind at this time?" Mo Juren shook his head slightly and smiled again,
"Besides, it's not easy to meet a silly 'little rich woman' like you. Of course, you have to hold on tightly, otherwise wouldn't you be in trouble?"
"I'm not stupid..." Ling Yuling rolled her eyes at the other party, but her heart was filled with joy. That's the other person. If it were someone else, no matter how many benefits he offered her, he wouldn't even look at her.
The two were chatting and laughing while moving forward slowly.
Night had already fallen by this time, but it was not too late.
Looking at the still bustling market, Ling Yuling offered to go shopping and take the opportunity to relax.
Naturally, Mo Juren had no objection. Even if he did, he could not refuse such a small request after being so helpful.
Therefore, in the following time, he transformed into a 'accompanying guest', accompanying the other party to have fun and relax in the city, and did not return until late at night.
Before parting, Ling Yuling thought of one more thing, which was the 'Thousand Fantasy Beast Skins' mentioned in Linglong Pavilion at noon. She would refine the human skin mask as soon as possible.
After saying that, he flew away without waiting for him to ask anything else.
"This girl!"
Mo Juren couldn't help but laugh. Was he still afraid that he would refuse?
Without saying another word, he immediately walked towards his cave.
Ling Yuling was extremely efficient. In just a few days, she came again and delivered the finished 'human skin mask' in person.
The thing was made by Master Zhou of the True Fire Palace. Although Mo Juren had been mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but look surprised when he saw the mask.
Both its appearance and quality are nearly perfect, without any flaws.
According to Ling Yuling, even Master Zhou himself is very satisfied with this refining, and it ranks among the top among the countless works made by the other party.
After wearing this mask, it not only has rich transformation functions, but is also extremely powerful in shielding spiritual consciousness. In theory, even the late Nascent Soul monks will have difficulty seeing through it.
This really surprised Mo Juren. With this item, it will be greatly convenient for him to do things in the future, and it will also indirectly improve his ability to save his life.
"We should give it a name." Looking at the transparent and thin mask in his hand, Mo Juren fell into thought and suddenly asked,
"Thousand Changes, Thousand Faces, Thousand Illusions, which one do you think is better?"
"Let me choose?" Ling Yu's pretty eyebrows tightened, and then she said,
"Qianhuan sounds better. Of course, I have to make my own decision. After all, it is your thing."
"I'll listen to you, I'll call you Qian Huan." Mo Juren made the decision immediately. Such an attitude made Ling Yuling think of something else, and her cheeks suddenly turned slightly red, which was fleeting.
Mo Juren didn't notice this, but fell into thinking.
The value of 'Qian Huan' is not low, but he doesn't know how to compensate for it? It is a material from a ninth-level monster, and it is an extinct species. It is self-evident in its preciousness. In addition, the master of the True Fire Palace personally refined it, so its value is even more difficult to calculate. I really don’t know what kind of value to give. number.
In addition to 'Qianhuan', there is also 'Shengyun Pill', as well as the resources advanced by the other party when exchanging with Master Linglong that day, etc.
Not counting the favors involved, the sum alone is not a small sum. And spiritual stones alone are obviously not enough.
"You ran too fast that night and didn't give me an accurate answer. Have you thought about what you want?"
"Actually..." Ling Yuling suddenly frowned when she mentioned this matter and continued,
"Uncle should be able to tell that my family background is not bad. I have all the magic weapons, elixirs, exercises, spiritual stones, etc., but I really can't think of what I need, so I might as well forget it."
"That's not okay. If I take your things for nothing, wouldn't it be too 'greedy'?" Mo Juren refused directly.
"Then...this mask counts as one hundred thousand."
"One hundred thousand!" Mo Juren was speechless. This girl is too messy. The skin material of the ninth-level Thousand Fantasy Beast alone is far more than one hundred thousand. There are also other auxiliary materials and the cost of refining. Wait, you are so prodigal now, why don't you worry about having your legs broken by those two people on the Holy Mountain?
Of course, I may be reluctant to hit your precious daughter, but what about him? If he was regarded as a pretty boy who cheated him out of food and drink, he might be the one who had his leg broken.
In short, this is not only a matter of dignity and character, but also a matter of one's own safety, so no carelessness is allowed.
"I'll give you another chance. Don't mess around. And it's not just the 'Thousand Fantasy' masks. There are also resources advanced in the previous auction. Now we also estimate a price."
"I don't have..." Ling Yuling also knew that the price given was a bit ridiculous, but she did not lack anything. He still wanted to hold on, but saw that the other party looked extremely serious and stopped immediately.
After some thought, he said again,
"The ninth-level Thousand Illusion Beast Skin is certainly precious, but only a small portion has been used. One hundred thousand is about the same. As for the rest, I made a rough estimate before, and it will be enough to give it seven hundred thousand."
"Seven hundred thousand!" Mo Juren murmured. This number was not too much, but too little, far lower than he expected. Moreover, when he asked the other party to estimate the price, he was not referring purely to spiritual stones. Those things could not be bought with spiritual stones at all.
He didn't ask the other party anymore, but thought about it by himself.
After a moment, the palm of his hand suddenly pressed against his chest, and several streams of light flew out and landed on the table one after another. But it was a storage bag and two jade boxes.
"The spiritual stone is calculated as one million. In addition, there are two ten thousand-year elixirs in the box. I got them by chance. You can take them back together. In this way, I can explain to the superiors."
"Ten thousand years of elixir!" Ling Yu was suddenly shocked, this was not an ordinary thing. Today's cultivation environment is no better than in ancient times. There is a severe shortage of elixirs of high vintages, and those that can reach a thousand years are pitiful, let alone ten thousand years.
It is almost impossible to find such spiritual objects outside, and it is only possible to find them in the ruins of some ancient monks, and the probability is not high.
"No, this is too expensive! I don't..."
"Okay, no more 'bargaining', otherwise I'll be angry." Mo Juren looked solemn, and there was no doubt in his tone.
"But..." Ling Yuling originally wanted to say that there were many treasures in the secret vault, and there was no shortage of them at all. Besides, with her status, she didn't need to explain to anyone. It's just that this explanation is obviously not suitable to be spoken out, and seeing the other party's expression so serious, I feel frightened for no reason, and I don't know how to refuse for a while.
"Girl, what are you doing with me like this? Even if nothing happened today, given our relationship, it's only normal to give you two elixirs. Do you need to be so coy?
This is not what your law enforcement officer should be like. If that doesn't work, you can treat it as a pure gift and just accept it with peace of mind. "
Seeing that the other party was still struggling, Mo Juren couldn't help but laugh secretly.
As for giving away the Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Grass, he also had his own intention. He wouldn't need it at first, and he probably wouldn't be short of it when he needed it. Instead, he might as well give it to the other party as a return gift.
Of course, if his guess was correct, if these two ten thousand-year elixirs happened to work together, they would eventually fall into the hands of those two people. With the foundation of Xing Palace, there should be no shortage of some elixir recipes that have been passed down from ancient times, and there is a high probability that they can be used.
In this way, it can be regarded as repaying part of the favor, and it can also leave a good impression in the minds of those two people, at least they will not regard him as a liar.
Those two are not tolerant and generous characters. They must have known about his existence for a long time. What is their attitude?
The more I have interacted with Ling Yuling over the years, and the closer I have gotten along with him, I am a little worried. If there is any misunderstanding due to such a trivial matter, it will be more than worth the gain.
Well, he admitted that giving away these two spiritual grasses was more out of fear of death, and he regarded them as 'paying for life'.
Ling Yuling naturally didn't know the complicated thoughts of these "Nine Songs and Eighteen Chapters", but she was secretly happy because of the other party's words.
If it was just used to pay for those resources, she would indeed find it difficult to accept it. But if it is a gift for her, although the object has not changed, the nature is completely different.
Thinking of this, he chuckled softly and said, "I can accept the things, but uncle must also agree that if you need anything in the future, you can't see me outside."
"Of course, I'm still waiting for your help in collecting resources." Mo Juren smiled, but suddenly something moved in his heart, and he remembered something, maybe the other party can solve it. But it's not the right time now. It won't be too late to wait until the need arises.
Ling Yuling finally let go of her worries and chose to accept the gift, and then she couldn't wait to open the jade box and check it out.
Regarding Ten Thousand Years Spirit Grass, it would be false to say that you are not tempted. You must know that even in the secret vault of the Star Palace, there is no shortage of elixirs that are thousands of years old, but there are very few that can reach ten thousand years, and they are not used yet.
It's not that it's really impossible to use. Some of the top elixirs left over from ancient times use ten thousand years of spiritual herbs as medicine. It's just that there aren't many such elixirs, so you need to get them right.
She also hopes that the two plants in the jade box just meet the conditions, in which case their value will be great.
Unfortunately, after checking them one by one, I found that I didn't recognize them at all. On second thought, it was normal. These spiritual herbs that had been preserved from ancient times were probably extinct long ago. She could only identify them by the elders above.
Thinking of this, she didn't delay any more, put away her things and stood up to leave.
After watching the other party leave, Mo Juren immediately put away the smile on his face. While groping for the spiritual tea in his hand, he began to fall into deep thought.
By now, all the matters had been dealt with for the time being, and he was finally able to take some time off and start his retreat plan.
There are still nearly fifty years before the opening of Xutian Palace. According to his plan, he must at least upgrade his cultivation to the late stage of Dan Jie. Only then will he have enough confidence to face the early Yuanying monks.
At the same time, the improvement of spiritual consciousness cannot be left behind. In this regard, it is natural to continue practicing the "Dayan Jue". After all, this technique is not only able to strengthen the spiritual consciousness, but more importantly, it is the precise control of the spiritual consciousness. Even if there is a chance of getting more 'Xuanyin Liquid' in the Xutian Palace group, it still cannot replace its effectiveness.
Finally, there is the Xutian Palace. Entering it is inevitable, and it is also extremely dangerous. He must carefully plan how to gain the maximum gain with the minimum loss.
This was not a simple matter, he had to think about it carefully.
…
Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past two years, Mo Juren has been practicing in seclusion in the cave and has not gone out again.
Because the water attribute bloodline has reached the seventh level, its cultivation speed is extremely fast. Coupled with the excellent cultivation environment of the Holy Mountain, it is even more powerful.
He is almost certain that in less than ten years, he will definitely be able to enter the late stage of pill formation.
In the secret room, Mo Juren was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, immersed in cultivation. The aura around him shone, and it was mixed with extreme coldness, condensing a layer of frost two inches thick on the floor and walls.
Suddenly, as if he sensed something, his eyes suddenly opened.
As his mind moved, a stream of light shot out from the Ten Thousand Souls Gourd, floating not far in front of him. It was an ancient bronze mirror the size of a palm.
He muttered something in his mouth, and at the same time raised his hand to pour a burst of mana into it. In an instant, the originally rough mirror surface gradually lit up with white light, and an illusory image slowly emerged.
"Palace Master Xu, are you okay?" Looking at the illusory image, Mo Juren asked with a smile.
"I'm fine!" The other person seemed to have encountered some trouble, and was obviously not in a good mood, and continued,
"I have arrived outside Tianxing City, but I was stopped by a bad old man who suddenly popped up and insisted that I go with him. It is really unreasonable!"
"This is happening!" Mo Juren looked slightly surprised. He and Wang Ying and the three girls teleported to the outer sea, and then returned with the help of the teleportation array. And the other party is actually outside Tianxing City at this time. Doesn't he come directly from the Inner Sea?
There are only two possibilities for this situation. One is that it happened to be teleported to the inland sea randomly, and the other is that the other party has other ways to leave and does not need to go through the teleportation array.
