"Master Wu, I have long admired your name..."
"A little name is nothing, it makes fellow Taoists laugh..."
After some introduction, the two parties got to know each other simply. Mr. Wu seemed to be a little impatient. After the pleasantries, he immediately went straight to the topic and said:
"I just heard the message from Shopkeeper Chen, saying that fellow Taoist has an ancient treasure that is not suitable for use, but do you have any plans to take action?"
"Indeed, it's just..." Mo Juren nodded, but glanced around and stopped continuing. The former immediately understood, but he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart. The ancient treasure was indeed precious, but there was no need to be so cautious. Could it be that he had other concerns?
He didn't ask any more questions, and then waved away the shopkeeper and the maids. But at this moment, Han Li, who was sitting beside him, also had his eyes flashing slightly, and he stood up immediately and said:
"Master, disciple, please go out for a while."
"Go! Remember not to disturb us." Mo Juren ordered with a double entendre. After Han Li left, he looked at Master Wu again with an expectant look on his face.
There was a flash of light in his hand, revealing a long-necked vase half a foot tall. The surface was densely covered with mysterious runes. It was obvious at a glance that it was quite old.
There was just one thing that made Mr. Wu a little confused. Didn't it say that the ancient treasure was a strange silver blade? How could it be replaced with such a bottle? Could it be that shopkeeper Chen made a mistake?
He couldn't help but feel a little vigilant. He was about to say something, but he saw that the other party had slowly opened the bottle cap. The next moment, a golden brilliance shot out instantly.
"Not good..." Mr. Wu was shocked in his heart. Unfortunately, he was too close, and the golden light was as fast as lightning. He could not avoid it at all. He only had time to release a spiritual light to protect his body.
However, he was facing Nascent Soul, and Barbarian Beard, who knew all about it, how could he possibly stop him? The golden light transformed by Nascent Soul instantly broke through the obstacle of the spiritual light, and then disappeared into the center of his eyebrows.
"Master, why is it you! Spare my life..."
In the sea of consciousness, Lord Wu finally understood everything. Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything.
The unspeakable pain caused him to lose his balance, and he fell directly to the ground. After that, he held his head in his hands and kept rolling around, screaming in agony.
It didn't last long. With a muffled groan, Lord Wu suddenly stopped, and then slowly opened his eyes.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for protecting the law. Man needs to be stabilized, and I hope fellow Taoist will wait for a while." Man Huzi explained, and then he closed his eyes and crossed his legs and began to practice.
Mo Juren was not in a hurry. He picked up the tea bowl and sipped the tea while waiting patiently.
At this time, outside the room, shopkeeper Chen had his hands behind his back, also waiting.
However, as time passed slowly, even the clerk who had gone out had returned, but there was still no movement, and there was an inexplicable feeling that something was wrong in his heart.
The room was restricted from spiritual exploration, so he wanted to enter the room to see the situation. However, before he could take action, a cold snort instantly entered his mind, frightening him to death.
"Senior, your master and my landlord..."
"Just wait patiently." Han Li, who was leaning against the door, gave the other party a cold look and interrupted directly.
"That's...okay." He is a monk in the alchemy stage, how can he afford to offend him? In desperation, Shopkeeper Chen could only choose to obey. However, the feeling that something was wrong in his heart became stronger and stronger, and there was a hint of worry.
Then I thought again, although this room is isolated from spiritual consciousness, it is not soundproof. The host is also a monk in the middle stage of pill formation, and that person is in the late stage of pill formation at most. Even if he wants to do something, there will be no movement at all.
What's more, the poster is not some casual cultivator with no background, the master behind him is a real giant of the devil. With that person's support, no one would dare to provoke him easily.
After thinking about it this way, my original worries dissipated a little, and I even speculated that maybe I was overthinking it. Maybe the senior and the poster had other things to discuss besides transactions.
Unfortunately, he would never have thought that the person who attacked Mr. Wu was exactly what he considered to be his biggest backer, Man Beard!
He didn't even notice that Han Li was standing still at the door, but there was a sound insulation note stuck on the door frame behind him.
An entire hour passed before a familiar voice finally came from the room, it was "Master Wu". At this point, shopkeeper Chen was relieved.
Han Li's eyes also flickered, and the sound insulation behind him disappeared. He glanced at Shopkeeper Chen and walked straight in without saying anything.
…
On a remote island somewhere, two figures were sitting cross-legged, facing each other.
At this time, Mo Juren was groping for a white jade flying sword in his hand, frowning and thinking, what was he thinking?
"Master, are you worried about the mysterious jade? It's a pity that this object is too rare and you can't even see it if you don't have enough opportunities." Han Li naturally knew about his master's flying sword, and he was also asked to help collect the mysterious jade.
Unfortunately, this item is too rare, and it rarely appears even in the markets of Tianxing City.
"I do know a place where there is not only a large amount of mysterious jade, but the age is more than ten thousand years old. It's a pity..." Mo Juren seemed to have thought of something and suddenly sighed.
"Is there such a treasure land?" Han Li was suddenly surprised and asked again,
"Master, what are you feeling sorry for? Could it be that there is some kind of dragon pool and tiger's den there, extremely dangerous?"
"Almost!" Mo Juren nodded, but the conversation suddenly changed,
"Danger is only one of them. The more important thing is that even if I can get there, I still won't be able to get this jade unless I have the legendary "Yin Ling Shui". "
"Yin Ling Shui! What is that?"
"A strange liquid that gathers the Yin Qi of the earth spirit. I have never seen what it looks like." Mo Juren shook his head slightly, but a trace of strange color flashed in his eyes, which was fleeting.
She put away the flying sword and said,
"Not to mention these, by the way, the Jiuqu Lingshen Pill recipe given to you and the things needed for Xu Qingcheng's "Shenyuan Yingying Pill" are very important. If you have the opportunity to collect some. "
"Master, don't worry, this disciple knows." Han Li nodded. He didn't need the other party to tell him. He would also take this matter to heart, especially the Jiuqu Lingshen Pill, which is a treasure pill related to the formation of babies. It is not good for his qualifications. is particularly important for people.
There is also the "Shenyuan Yingying Pill". This pill comes from Xu Qingcheng. It is a top-notch pill that is effective for early Yuanying monks, and its value is even greater. It’s just that the main medicine needed is too terrifying, it turns out to be the three legendary spiritual ginsengs.
This was also one of the main reasons why the other party wanted Jiuqu Spiritual Ginseng before.
Even if there is a mysterious vial, it is still powerless if the other two spiritual ginsengs cannot be found.
After a pause, he suddenly remembered something else and asked again,
"Master really intends to let Barbarian Beard go? Not to mention the previous fatal sneak attack in Xutian Temple, his identity alone cannot make people feel at ease."
Of course, Han Li did not let things go without hesitation. Hatred and other things were secondary. The most important thing was that the matter of Xutian Cauldron must not be hidden. Star Palace may not take the initiative to reveal it, but there is no airtight wall in the world. What if it happens? Once word spreads, it's hard to guarantee that Barbarian Beard won't have some associations.
"There is indeed some trouble!" Mo Juren nodded, but a strange light suddenly lit up in his eyes.
"Unfortunately, I have sworn with my Taoist heart that we will part ways after this transaction is completed, and we will never retaliate against him for the previous sneak attack in the future. Even within the next hundred years, the two parties will not be able to attack each other. Even if a conflict occurs unintentionally, it should be resolved through discussion..."
"He is confident that he can return to the Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years!" Han Li sneered and was about to continue saying something when he suddenly noticed the strange look in his master's eyes.
At that moment, he suddenly understood, and then nodded solemnly and said, "The oath is extraordinary and needs to be abided by. Master must not take risks because of it. By the way, I don't know how Senior Xu is doing. Have you woken up yet?"
"I woke up more than ten days ago, and I'm still recuperating now." Mo Juren nodded with a smile, and then there was a flash of light in his hand, which was a jade slip, and he handed it directly to the other party and said,
"This is the second half
The "Tiantuo Mo Gong" will be handed over to you. "
"Master attaches so much importance to this skill, it seems that the disciple will have to study it carefully in the future..." Han Li took it with a smile, but was suddenly stopped by the other party, saying,
"Just take a look, don't rush to practice blindly, it's not too late to practice until you find the missing parts in the future."
"Incomplete!" Hearing his master's reminder, Han Li couldn't help but be shocked. This was the entire technique that Manbeard traded, so why was it still incomplete?
It seems that there are more unknown secrets behind this technique. I don’t know how the master knows these? When he thought of this, the curiosity in his heart became more intense.
Since the master didn't explain clearly, he certainly wouldn't delve too much into it. Instead, he put away the jade slip and changed the subject,
"It's been four days and Manbeard still hasn't come back? Could there be something wrong?"
"When it comes to the other party's secret cave, you must be more cautious." Mo Juren sneered, then glanced in a certain direction and said,
"Besides, who told you that he hasn't come back and is watching the scenery a hundred miles away."
"Uh..." Han Li was so smart that he instantly understood what his master meant. The guy in love deliberately delayed it, even in the wrong direction. It turned out to be to avoid the exact location of the secret cave being exposed.
He is worthy of being a giant of the demonic world in the past, and his caution is admirable. Unfortunately, he was facing a being like his master whose consciousness was comparable to the early stage of Nascent Soul, so all his calculations were in vain.
Time passed slowly, and it was not until more than three days had passed that Barbarian Beard finally arrived late. When Fang showed up, he said apologetically:
"The journey is a bit long, so I had to delay for a long time, making you two wait for a long time."
"Fellow Daoist Barbarian did not break his promise, which is already considered good. A little time is a small matter." Mo Juren laughed, as if he didn't care.
"Thank you for your understanding, fellow Taoist." Manbeard nodded with great gratitude, waving his arms, and in an instant, three jade boxes of different sizes emerged in bursts of light.
"These are the rewards that Man promised before. Fellow Taoist, you can check them out."
"Since Fellow Taoist Man has returned as promised, he will definitely not commit any fraud. How could Mo not trust you?" Mo Juren reached out to take it, but he opened it one by one and checked it out in an unusually natural manner.
This performance made Man Beard twitch in his heart. This guy is really thick-skinned. He talks about how to trust himself, but his words are completely perfunctory. In the end, he still doesn’t want to check?
"Everything is correct." Mo Juren nodded with satisfaction.
"That being the case, the deal between you and me is completely completed. I wonder if fellow Taoist Man has anything else to explain?"
"There is no need to explain. As long as the things are right, it can be regarded as settling a certain worry of Man." Manbeard chuckled, then clasped his fists and said again,
"Man has to go back to rectify Jin Ming Tower, so he won't stay any longer. We'll see you later."
"Walk slowly!"
A ray of golden light broke through the air, leaving Mo Juren and Han Li alone standing there. When they looked at Man Beard's back, there was a trace of cold murderous intent in their eyes.
After coming back to his senses, Mo Juren put the box away directly, and then patted his chest. The white light flashed away, revealing the familiar figure of Xu Qingcheng.
As soon as Fang showed up, he asked angrily:
"You haven't let me come out these days. Tell me, is there some conspiracy?"
"I didn't expect that Mo would be so unworthy in the eyes of Fellow Daoist Xu! In that case, let's forget about the matter of Xutian Palace." Mo Juren sighed softly, with a look full of disappointment.
This made Xu Qingcheng so anxious that she took a trip to Xutian Palace, only to be seriously injured and fell into a coma on the way. In the end, she didn't even catch a hair. How could she be reconciled?
In fact, after waking up half a month ago, she had already contacted the other party to inquire about this matter. After all, he has also made great achievements, so he must reap corresponding rewards.
Unexpectedly, Mo Juren slapped him back. No matter how much credit you have, when you were corrupted by the powerful demon and almost killed me, you still have the nerve to mention this?
In addition, if you hadn't turned the tide, your life would have been lost. Shouldn't you thank yourself for saving your life?
Xu Qingcheng was left speechless and immediately fell into depression. In the days that followed, she never mentioned the matter again.
What makes her even more strange is that she should be angry, but since she recovered this time, for some reason, she has become more inexplicably dependent on the person in front of her, making her unable to feel any resentment at all.
Therefore, she didn't dwell on anything anymore and even put it behind her. But today, when I heard the other party talking about Xutian Palace again, the thought that had been extinguished resurfaced again.
"Brother Mo, please forgive me. It's all the little girl's fault. I shouldn't make random assumptions about you."
"How old are you? Why are you pretending to be a little girl?" Mo Juren rolled his eyes at the other party quite speechlessly. This woman really gave up her face for the treasure.
After all, the other party still had some merit, whether it was taking care of Ji Yin Ancestor or taking many shots on the lava road. It would really be unreasonable to let him return empty-handed.
Anyway, he got a lot of treasures from this trip, so it doesn't matter if he separates a few pieces appropriately. It should be used to comfort the other person's injured heart. There is also the Miaoyin Sect, especially Wang Ying and her daughter, who will also need to take care of each other in the future.
While thinking about it, brilliance suddenly flashed in his hand, revealing two white jade boxes. The appearance is very exquisite, giving people a very high-grade feeling.
"Open it and take a look. It's all a reward for you."
"What is it!" Xu Qingcheng couldn't wait to reach out and take it. After opening it, what was revealed were two ancient treasures that exuded dazzling spiritual light.
A silver strange blade and a cyan token engraved with pictures of alien beasts. One look at it and you can tell that it is not an ordinary treasure.
As a Nascent Soul Stage monk and the former Master of Paradise Palace, she is naturally worth a lot, and she does not lack these two ancient treasures. However, whether there is a shortage or not is one thing, but whether it is given or not is another matter.
All in all, she felt inexplicably happy after receiving these two treasures from the other party.
Fortunately, she didn't know Mo Juren's real gain this time? It's unclear how many treasures Han Li got, and the quality was far superior to hers. Otherwise, he would probably be so angry that he would explode on the spot.
"Thank you!" Xu Qingcheng put away the box very happily, but suddenly thought of something and asked softly,
"By the way, that crystal coffin you hide in space..."
"What do you know?" Mo Juren's eyes flickered. Most of the contents in the red pendant were transferred to the Gourd of Ten Thousand Souls, except for the crystal coffin containing the mysterious white fox.
These naturally fell into Xu Qingcheng's eyes. Hearing him mention this matter and thinking of his identity, he couldn't help but look forward to it. Unfortunately, the latter just shook his head slightly and said,
"Sorry, I can only feel the extraordinary blood in his body, but I don't know anything else."
"It doesn't matter." Mo Juren shook his head slightly, not disappointed at all. He looked up at the sky, and his expression suddenly became serious.
"It's almost time, it's time for you and I to part ways."
"Goodbye!" Unlike Han Li's calmness, Xu Qingcheng was startled and said quickly,
"Is there something important? You don't plan to return to Tianxing City?"
"I need to travel alone for a while, and I won't be going back in a short time." Mo Juren nodded and continued,
"The war between the Counter Star Alliance and the Star Palace has begun. The inner sea is very unstable right now. Let Li'er go back with you so that you can have someone to look after you on the way. In addition, Ying'er and her daughter, during the time I left, I also hope you will take more care of me."
"When will you come back?" Based on the relationship between the two parties, it is necessary to take care of Wang Ying's mother and daughter. What's more, she is also the elder of the Miaoyin Sect, and it is her duty to protect the sect.
What she is more concerned about is the other party. Now that the war has begun, isn't it dangerous outside? The Counter Star Alliance has brought together the forces of good and evil, as well as many casual cultivators. This is no joke. Even if the opponent's strength is much higher than that of the same level, it is not enough.
"The date of return is uncertain." Mo Juren is not talking nonsense, but he really doesn't know when he will come back, or
It may take many years or decades. After all, we still need to collect resources. Anyway, there is a teleportation array, so it is very convenient to just go back and forth.
Thinking of this, he no longer delayed and said again,
"That's it, I'll take the first step, and Li'er, I'll leave everything here to you!"
"Master, you can leave with peace of mind, but my disciple will not let you down." Han Li nodded vaguely, then suddenly thought of something, and said again,
"Send hello to them for my disciple."
"Got it!" Mo Juren nodded, patted the spirit beast bag and the small gold appeared again. The next moment, the two turned into a golden light and flew away.
"Who are you saying hello to?" Looking back, Xu Qingcheng suddenly reacted.
"A few friends." Han Li said perfunctorily and immediately changed the topic,
"Senior Xu, there is something I may need your help with."
"Want me to help?" Xu Qingcheng couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"Tell me, as long as it's not something beyond my capabilities, I can help you."
"I want to kill Barbarian Beard!"
"ah……"
