Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

The next morning, Mo Juren did not delay any longer and took Xiao Ya away from Sujia Village.

It was still the same carriage as before. This time, while driving, he seemed to glance in a certain direction in the distance inadvertently, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Since you are here, just come out openly. It can be considered as a farewell, and he can't complain about it.

What happened instead is that they had to sneak behind and watch. This behavior is really despicable.

This further confirmed his previous suspicion that there was definitely something wrong with the so-called Son of God. So he had to leave and stay away. No matter how big the problem was, he would not be involved.

Not wanting to bother paying attention to the other party, he immediately drove his carriage straight towards Xinyuan City.

A few miles away, seeing the direction the carriage was heading, Zhou Tong immediately retracted his gaze, then took out another token and continued to send the message.

Yesterday, I told Mo Juren that he was leaving. Seventh Aunt did not stop him, but she did mention that we should take some precautions just in case.

As for what to do, he didn't need to worry about it. He just had to report Mo Juren's direction in time. Seventh Aunt would take care of the rest, so he didn't bother to care.

"Brother Mo, Brother Mo, I hope I didn't misjudge you." After delivering the message, Zhou Tong suddenly murmured something, and then returned to Baihua Temple.

……

According to Mo Juren's original plan, he was to pass through Xuyang and then head straight to Taiyue City, from where he would take the Chamber of Commerce's large flying boat to the north.

However, now that he had received the inner armor given by Zhou Tong, which had a tracking mark on it, he naturally needed to change his plan.

I won't leave for the time being. I will just train in several nearby cities and Tianmuling, which is a little further away, for a while. It won't be too late to set off again when the time is right.

With this tracking mark, the other party will most likely send someone to monitor him, but it shouldn't last too long. It will be fine as long as we make sure he has no intention of leaving.

Of course, if the other party is still tactful and insists on chasing him, then don't blame him for being ruthless. He doesn't have to do it himself, there are plenty of ways to solve the problem.

The direction he was heading to at this time was Xinyuan City. Compared with the last time, this time he was more familiar with the route and reached his destination in less than half a month.

"Senior Mo, nice to see you again!" Not long after settling down, someone suddenly came to the door. It was none other than the beautiful middle-aged woman whom I met the last time I entered Wanfang Tower.

"You are really sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. You already knew about my arrival not long ago!" Mo Juren sneered, deliberately revealing a hint of displeasure in his words.

"Don't be upset, senior. The reason I knew about your arrival was just a coincidence. There is no other reason." The beautiful middle-aged woman bowed respectfully and apologized sincerely.

"That's quite a coincidence." Mo Juren narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not continue to argue. He changed the subject and said,

"If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

"It's like this. Wanfang Tower will hold an auction in three days. There will be a lot of good things at that time. The owner of the tower invites you to participate in the auction." Fearing that Mo Juren would get angry again, the beautiful middle-aged woman hurriedly explained.

"Auction!" Hearing this, Mo Juren was stunned for a moment.
"I am very interested in the auction, but unfortunately I am short of money. Even if I participate, I won't be able to buy anything. It's better not to go and embarrass myself."

"Senior Mo, you can rest assured about this. Before I came out, the owner of the building had specifically instructed that you will be given three places in this auction. No matter what you like, you can bid as you like, and the spiritual stones you spend will be paid by this building."

"Is there such a good thing?" Mo Juren was slightly surprised. No matter what he liked, the owner of Feng Tower would help pay for it. He was really generous.

He was instantly attracted by the food. There was no reason not to eat the meat that was served to him for free!
Besides, he had changed his plans and was not in a hurry to leave. It would be nice to attend an auction. He was too poor now and naturally needed to replenish his money.

"Master Feng has given me such a cordial invitation that I would be honored to decline. I will be there in three days. And may I be able to bring one more person with me?" Mo Juren nodded slightly and asked again.

"Bring one more person..." The middle-aged beautiful woman turned her head and looked at the little girl not far away. Suddenly, she realized something. Then she flipped her jade hand and two white jade cards appeared.
"As a senior, this is of course no problem. Also, this is your ID card for the auction. Please keep it. I will take my leave now."

After saying this, the beautiful middle-aged woman did not stay any longer. She bowed respectfully and turned to leave.

"Number 12! Number 13!" Looking at the numbers marked on the two white jade plates, Mo Juren suddenly understood something. These should be the seat numbers.

"Uncle, are you going to take me with you too?" The little girl suddenly came closer and asked excitedly.

"After all, your current strength is still too weak. I am really worried about leaving you alone!" Mo Juren nodded slightly, but suddenly sighed.

Now I can keep him with me all the time, but I won’t be able to enter Tiansha Valley in the future, so I can only leave him in Yunhua City.

Therefore, in the days to come, I must urge the other party to practice hard, so that he can be stronger by the time he reaches Yunhua City.

Fortunately, this girl has excellent aptitude, and with his guidance, her cultivation level is increasing at a fairly fast rate.

……

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was three days later.

Early in the morning, Mo Juren took Xiao Ya out of the inn and slowly walked towards Wanfang Tower.

Regarding this auction, there is no distinction between body cultivators and immortal cultivators. Both will participate together and each can choose the items they like and bid.

As for the auction items, there are many overlaps between body cultivators and monks, such as monster materials, spiritual medicine ores, etc., which can be used by both sides.

There are no mandatory requirements for the cultivation level of the monks participating in this auction, but their financial resources must be verified in advance. Without sufficient spirit stones, they will not be able to obtain an identity card.

Not long after, the two arrived at the door of Wanfang Building, and at this time, many guests who wanted to participate in the auction had already arrived.

Mo Juren scanned them carefully and found that most of them were mortal body cultivators, but cultivators were rarely seen.

This is understandable. After all, it is a town where mortals live, and the main population is the body cultivators. As for the immortal cultivators, especially those with a sect behind them, they usually don't stay in such a place for a long time. Most of the immortal cultivators in the city are independent cultivators, and their cultivation is not too high. Most of them are in the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages. There are not many people like Feng Louzhu who are in the Core Forming stage.

After walking to the door and showing their identity tokens, the two people went directly into the first floor hall.

Compared to the past, the hall was now empty, obviously it had temporarily stopped business, and everyone who entered went straight to the stairs and went straight to the fourth floor.

This is the venue of the auction. Mo Juren walked in with Xiao Ya and found that nearly half of the seats in the venue were already occupied.

"You're here really early!" Mo Juren sighed in his heart. Without any delay, he carried the little girl and walked straight to the front row, not stopping until he reached his seat.

The two of them sat down slowly, and only then did he take a closer look at the entire venue.

After all, it is an ordinary small town, and this so-called venue is really shabby. Whether it is the size of the space or the decoration and layout, it is at best similar to those medium-sized auctions in the human world.

There were no more than 300 seats in the entire venue, divided into three connected areas in a fan shape, surrounding a semicircular platform in the north direction.

There was no one on the platform at this time, but there was a long table in the central area with three seats at the back, which should be prepared for important people.

"Have you heard that Liyue City was attacked by a group of monsters not long ago. Among them was a big monster in the transformation stage and several level 6 or 7 monsters. Although they won in the end, the body cultivators there suffered heavy losses..."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"How could I not know about this? I heard that the Lord of Liyue City, Senior Wang, was seriously injured. He was a strong man who had cultivated the Vajra Sutra to the sixth level. But it's also strange. Whether it's Liyue City or here, we are both in the heartland of the human race. How could a monster in the transformation stage appear?"

"What's so strange about this? Xuanwu Realm borders the seven lands of the demon race, and it's very chaotic. Although our location is further back, it's only relatively safe, but it doesn't mean that there won't be any great demons in the transformation stage."

"Brother Chen is right. In fact, similar things have happened more than once in the past. It is not surprising. After all, we are in the heartland of the human race. There are countless strong men from various major sects. Even if those high-level monsters rush in, they will not get any benefits."

"That's true. Speaking of which, the auction at Wanfang Tower is also related to the monster attack. The Qingyao Merchant Alliance made a great contribution in the battle, so it got a lot of monster materials..."

"It's not just monster materials. I also heard that there will be several high-quality spiritual tools at this auction. They are said to be made by Master Wu..."

"Master Wu of Chenfeng Pavilion, how could his things end up in a small place like ours? Even if they are to be auctioned, they should be put in Liyue City or Yueyang City!"

"That's not clear, but the news I got said this..."

"Even so, it is meaningless to us. But those high-level body cultivators will probably go crazy to grab it this time..."

"It's because we are not strong enough that we can only watch the fun. As for the last treasure, I am also very curious about what it is."

"According to Wanfang Tower's custom, the finale items are prepared for the monks, and have nothing to do with us..."

"..."

The discussions around were endless, and naturally every word was heard by Mo Juren, allowing him to take this opportunity to learn about many things that had happened in the nearby area during this period.

He naturally knew about Liyue City, which was one of the larger cities in the area, and its strength was needless to say.

In his plan, he also planned to make a trip there. The reason was very simple. It was right next to Tianmuling. Since he had told Zhou Tong that he wanted to train there, he naturally had to pretend to do so.

Tianmuling is a must-visit place, where a large number of monsters live, making it the best place for training.

As time passed, more and more people entered the venue. Unexpectedly, the number of monks increased rapidly, and eventually reached nearly a hundred people.

This is slightly different from the situation in the past where most of the practitioners were body cultivators, and among the many cultivators, there are also quite a few in the Jindan stage, more than twenty in total.

Such a scene naturally made the many body cultivators present look surprised.

Not only has the number of monks increased a lot, but many of them are unfamiliar faces. They are obviously not local monks from Xinyuan City, but most likely came from other places.

Moreover, compared to the local monks, these people are obviously very arrogant and have almost no desire to communicate with the nearby body cultivators.

In contrast, the local cultivators are not like this. Instead, they chat happily with some body cultivators around them. After all, in terms of strength alone, there is not much difference between Jindan stage cultivators and high-level body cultivators.

Besides, most of the local cultivators are independent cultivators with no support behind them, so naturally they would not put on airs. These people are obviously not like that, and they are most likely from certain forces.

Everyone couldn't help but wonder why these people came to participate in this auction. Could it be that some valuable treasure would really appear in the later auction?
The discussion became more and more intense, until a moment later, the entire venue suddenly became quiet, and then four figures walked onto the platform in front one after another.

The person in the lead was none other than the owner of Feng Tower. At this moment, she was wearing an exceptionally delicate silver palace skirt. Coupled with her already stunning appearance and outstanding temperament, she instantly gave people a sense of amazement.

Behind him followed three white-haired old men, two men and one woman, all of whom had the cultivation level of the early Jindan stage, and their every move was dignified.

"It turns out that they are the three masters of the Qingyao Merchant Alliance. They are here too! This shows that the specifications of this auction are much more grand than expected..."

"That's true. Otherwise, these three wouldn't have shown up so easily, and there are so many monks from the sects here..."

"It seems like this will be an eye-opener..."

Amid the discussion among the crowd, the three old men walked directly to the back of the long table and sat down, while the Fenglou Master walked to the front with a calm look and said:
"My fellow Taoists, it's been a long time! This auction will be hosted by Feng himself. I think everyone should have no objection, right?"

"Master Feng, you are joking. It is our honor to trouble you to personally preside over the auction. We have no objection..." someone immediately echoed from below.

Hearing this, Fenglou Master smiled brightly and continued:
"In that case, let's not waste any more time talking and start the auction right away. As for the process, it is the same as in previous years, so I won't go into details here..."

As he was speaking, a pretty girl slowly walked up to the platform carrying a tray covered with a red cloth, which immediately attracted the attention of almost everyone present. (End of this chapter)
