Time flies, and twenty spring and autumn years pass in the blink of an eye.
The past twenty years have been busy for Mo Juren, with almost no day wasted.
The first is cultivation. From the beginning of seclusion, it only took less than five years to successfully enter the late stage of elixir formation. This was somewhat unexpected, several years earlier than he expected.
And then his realm improved again, and his strength also increased significantly.
When he had just entered the early stage of Dan Formation, he could already face Liu Chengfeng who was at the peak of the later stage of Dan Formation without falling behind. He was even called the number one person under Yuanying by the Tiannan cultivation world. Now he has entered the realm of Dan Formation. In the later period, the mana of Dantian increased several times, and the bloodline was strengthened many times, so the strength was naturally different.
Not only that, in the next fifteen years, he spent all his time practicing the third level of "Dayan Jue". Although he has not yet succeeded in practicing it, he has reached the final stage. It is estimated that he will be able to achieve success in a few years. become.
Even now, the intensity of his spiritual consciousness has increased a lot, and it is naturally assisted by that drop of 'Xuanyin Liquid'. However, it cannot be denied that this technique is powerful, especially in terms of fine control, which is far from what it was before. The second level is comparable.
In the past twenty years, not only his own strength has improved, but the spiritual beasts he brought with him have also made great progress.
Three years ago, with the help of a large amount of resources, especially several metallic demon pills, Xiao Jin finally formally condensed his own inner elixir and became a genuine fifth-level demon beast.
This speed is not unpleasant. The opponent's mother, Golden Feather Fairy Elder Gu's Golden Feather Wither is still only at level five at this moment, so the two are tied.
As the inner elixir condensed, Xiao Jin's strength also grew rapidly. One is the speed, which has nearly doubled, and the second is the level of several innate magic skills that have been increased accordingly, and the attack and defense power have naturally been greatly enhanced.
The Red Gold Ape has also undergone changes, rising from the original peak level six to level seven. This was naturally due to Mo Juren. In order to provide the resources needed by the other party, millions of spiritual stones were spent, all of which were used to purchase various metallic spiritual materials, including several seventh-level metallic demon pills.
It is precisely because of this that the other party can successfully advance to one level. However, even Mo Juren was a little stunned by such consumption. Level seven is fine, but what about level eight? He couldn't even imagine how many resources it would take to reach level nine or level ten, plus Xiao Jin who was already at level five.
This was also the main reason why he decided to let Xiao Jin take the transformation route. If he was to refine his bloodline and take the true spirit route, he might not be able to afford it even if he sold him.
Of course, he wasn't too worried. After all, Tianhua Tower's rate of earning spirit stones was also quite high. At present, supporting a few spirit beasts was nothing. If there comes a day when we can no longer afford it, just like other monsters, there is no harm in returning to the normal speed of cultivation.
In addition to the two, there are also two blood jade spiders brought together, because they may be used by the Xutian Temple team in the future. Therefore, he also did not neglect to cultivate it.
This is relatively simple. It can be solved by spending a sum of spirit stones to buy a large number of elixirs specifically for use by spirit beasts. And because the bloodline level of the blood jade spider is not high, it is much easier to cultivate. Twenty years later, it has been rapidly upgraded from the original third level monster to the peak level four.
Unfortunately, the opponent's improvement speed has dropped sharply now, especially the bottleneck of level five. Although the pills are still provided to them, the effect is still not good.
Mo Juren couldn't help but guess that the issue involving the potential of the Blood Jade Spider's bloodline might have reached its limit, making its evolution more difficult.
There are still more than twenty years before the Xutian Temple opens. According to his opinion, it is best to train both monsters to level five, so as to ensure that everything is foolproof.
However, now it seems that the traditional method is not very effective.
"Perhaps, that's all we can do." In the secret room, after some thought, Mo Juren made a decision. He wanted to fuse the blood of two monsters into the blood of level five monsters of the same attribute.
Of course, it cannot be as full as his, it can only be a part. There is no way, as the level increases, the size of the two spiders is also not small, and it is impossible to be satisfied. And even if only a part of it is fused, it still has a considerable effect.
While he was thinking about it, his expression suddenly changed, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
Just now, the puppet maid outside sent a message, and a special communication talisman flew from outside the cave. The person who communicated turned out to be Fan Jingmei from the Miaoyin Sect.
"Why is it her?" Mo Juren was a little surprised. He had been in seclusion for these years. Ling Yuling, Xu Qingcheng, and Wang Ying, the three people who could directly contact him, all knew about it, so they were very considerate. Have disturbed him.
However, he did not expect that Fan Jingmei would take the initiative to contact her. Could something have happened? This woman is not such a cold-blooded woman. Since she risked disturbing him and summoned him suddenly, it would definitely not be simple.
"After being in seclusion for so long, it's time to take a rest." As his mind moved, he immediately got up and walked out of the secret room without hesitation.
…
"Meet the master!"
"Meet the master!"
Back in the courtyard, the two maids immediately saluted respectfully, and one of them even raised his hands in the air and handed the messenger talisman to him.
"It's really her!" Mo Juren reached out and took it, and a piece of information was transmitted into the sea of consciousness. It was indeed Fan Jingmei. The other party wanted to see him, but he also knew that he was in retreat, so he had no choice but to interrupt. It was obviously because he had something important to do.
"What could it be?" Mo Juren couldn't help but ponder. After a moment, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he remembered something, and his expression suddenly became solemn,
"Calculating, it's almost time. However, I had indirectly mentioned something to the other party at the beginning of the retreat. Could it be that it didn't have any effect? Or was it too vague and the other party didn't understand it? She shouldn't be that stupid, right? "
There was no answer for a while, and he simply didn't want to think too much. He also took out a communication talisman and whispered a few words before using it. The spiritual talisman immediately turned into a streak of fire and flew out of the formation, and then left through the air.
Although Fan Jingmei had something to do, she didn't dare to rush her. The time and place of the meeting were naturally decided by him.
"I'll be out for a while. I'll call you if anything happens..." After giving a few instructions to the two maids, Mo Juren also walked out of the cave.
…
Fangshi, Yixin Pavilion
As a teahouse, although it is small in size, only three floors high, it is quite famous. Anyone who has a certain understanding of Tianxing Chengfang City has basically heard of the existence of this building.
Mo Juren is no exception. After living here for so many years, he has already mastered some basic common sense.
At this time, at the door of the tea house, a beautiful figure was standing still. A familiar customer couldn't help but be surprised when he passed by. Isn't this Fairy Fan, the left ambassador of Miaoyin Sect? Why is she standing here alone?
The Miaoyin Sect is well-known in Luan Xinghai, especially the sect leader Wang Ying and the two envoys on the left and right. Their stunning appearance and outstanding temperament have fascinated countless people.
Naturally, someone took the initiative to say hello. Fan Jingmei only responded with a smile, but she was obviously a little absent-minded. While speaking, her charming eyes glanced over the holy mountain from time to time.
After about a moment, a familiar figure came into view. Fan Jingmei suddenly looked overjoyed. After apologizing to the person next to her, she immediately took the initiative to greet him.
"I've met Senior Mo! I apologize for disturbing you so rashly."
"It's okay." Mo Juren nodded slightly, and then said after seeing curious looks from nearby,
"This is not the place to talk. Let's go in first."
Fan Jingmei naturally did not dare to have any objections, and immediately followed the other party towards the teahouse. The two did not stop in the lobby on the first floor, but went straight to the third floor with the waiter.
In a certain elegant room, after the waiter put down the spiritual tea and respectfully left, Mo Juren said with a smile: "You are not an outsider, sit down and talk slowly if you have anything to do."
"Thank you, senior." Fan Jingmei was flattered when the other party was so kind and said she was not an outsider. However, she did not sit down, but took the initiative to step forward with great discernment, holding the pot in her hand and pouring tea for him.
When we went to the ruins together to hunt for treasures, she served him tea and water, but now that she was doing the same thing again, she seemed particularly comfortable with it.
"Since we parted ways that day, we haven't seen each other for more than 20 years. It seems that your cultivation has not made much progress, but you have encountered a bottleneck?" Mo Juren's eyes showed approval, and he did not stop the other person, but warmly Yan asked.
"It's the junior's poor qualifications that made the senior laugh." Fan Jingmei couldn't help but smile bitterly when she mentioned her own training. Her qualifications are indeed her weakness. Decades have passed since she entered the middle stage of foundation building, but there has been no significant improvement, which really gives her a headache.
As the left envoy of the Miaoyin Sect, although he dare not say that he is rich, he still has some savings, and he often buys pills and swallows them. Unfortunately, perhaps due to the influence of qualifications or the poor quality of the elixir, the effect is not obvious.
"Stretch out your hand and let me see." Mo Juren looked at the other person seriously for a while, then put down the tea cup and said.
"Ah, okay." Fan Jingmei was very smart. She was instantly happy when she heard this. She then rolled up her sleeves and handed her white jade wrist forward.
Mo Juren reached out and touched it gently, and a touch of smoothness instantly spread to his fingertips. He didn't think much about it, just input a spiritual power and check it carefully.
Different from his calmness, Fan Jingmei was in a different state of mind at this time. As the left envoy of Miaoyin Sect, he has practiced the art of charm for many years. He is very familiar with the affairs between men and women, and he has long been numb to it on weekdays.
However, when facing the person in front of me, especially at the moment of skin-to-skin contact, I felt a trace of inexplicable shame in my heart for no reason. Fortunately, she had some talent and resisted showing it.
Naturally, Mo Juren was not aware of the changes in the other person's mind. At this time, he was exploring the situation inside the other person's body while carefully thinking and analyzing it.
The first is the spiritual root. As the other party said, it can only be regarded as above average. With such qualifications, the chance of successfully forming a pill in the future is really low, and it is very likely that he will stay in the foundation building stage for the rest of his life.
Secondly, there is the situation in the other party's Dantian. I don't know what kind of skills he practices. The accumulated magic power is mixed and impure, and the quality is really poor.
Under such a premise, let alone the other party, even if you change to someone with better qualifications, you will never be able to successfully enter the elixir formation stage in the future.
"Senior, how are you?" After the investigation, Fan Jingmei took back her palm with some reluctance, and then asked expectantly.
"Not very optimistic." Mo Juren did not hide anything, and immediately stated his analysis in detail. After listening, the other party did not appear too disappointed, but smiled helplessly and said,
"These juniors you mentioned also know a thing or two about it. Unfortunately, the work is done and it is too late to change it..."
Fan Jingmei did not hide anything, and immediately told some of her own situation. The reason why the magic power in her body is mixed is not because of the problem of the technique, but because of herself.
In fact, it is very simple. The other party is not interested in practicing. Instead, he is blindly addicted to various charm skills and secret techniques, without thinking that it will affect his own magic power. Not only that, he is usually more interested in power struggles and is tied up in various complicated affairs, which also takes up most of his time.
"So, are you planning to give up the path?" Mo Juren asked rhetorically without changing his expression.
"This junior doesn't want to, but I don't see any hope of being able to form a pill in this life." Fan Jingmei sighed, feeling helpless. However, he tentatively asked again,
"Senior is very knowledgeable. Do you have any solutions?"
"It's very troublesome." Mo Juren shook his head slightly, without hiding it, and continued,
"Forget about the skills. It is unrealistic to modify them at this time. On the contrary, the magic power in your Dantian can be refined and become pure. In this way, as long as you can practice seriously in the future, it is not impossible to make further progress. possible."
"It's really possible!" Fan Jingmei had already given up on herself. She never thought that she could refine her magic power. It was really unexpected.
"This matter is not easy, and it involves the most important Dantian. There is no room for error. Therefore, I need to think about it carefully. I will help you solve it when I figure it out."
"Senior, Jingmei is deeply grateful for your great kindness." Fan Jingmei immediately straightened her expression and bowed extremely respectfully.
"I'm just doing what I can. There's no need to be so outspoken." Mo Juren waved his hand, then changed the topic and asked,
"Let's talk about business. What happened when you called me here today?"
"There is indeed a difficult matter, and the junior doesn't know how to deal with it, so I have to disturb the senior's retreat." Fan Jingmei saluted respectfully again, stood up, and then continued,
"The story begins more than twenty years ago. At that time, the sect master got a 'Heavenly Thunder Bamboo' from a small sect by chance..."
"Is it true?" When he heard the words Tianleizhu, Mo Juren couldn't help but feel something in his heart. It was just as he had guessed before. However, he did not interrupt, but continued to listen to the other party's story.
The Miaoyin Sect was naturally overjoyed to receive the 'Heavenly Thunder Bamboo', which was revered as one of the three sacred trees in the cultivation world. It was no exaggeration to say that it was a treasure. Moreover, this bamboo is not a dead thing, but a plant with its roots intact and can still be cultivated.
Wang Ying will naturally not let go of such an opportunity. If it can be cultivated successfully, it may not be used now, but it can be used as the inheritance treasure of the sect and will continue to exist, and one day it can be used.
Later, the right envoy Zhuo Ruting went to the depths of the eastern sea to collect the 'Yunleisha', but suffered heavy losses and almost killed all his confidants.
