Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 1034 Xue Rou
"Ten thousand spirit stones, I want the thing!" A deep voice sounded, instantly making the entire venue silent, and then everyone started to talk.

“Someone actually made an offer!”

"Do you know what that stone ball is?"

"Ten thousand spirit stones are not something that everyone can afford. This person must be someone extraordinary. Perhaps he really has some background, so he knows this thing..."

"..."

The entire venue became lively again, and all eyes were directed towards a certain place, which was Mo Juren.

It didn't matter at first glance, but after seeing it, I was even more shocked.

He was not a cultivator, but just a body cultivator. Why did he buy the stone ball? Could it be that he knew the value of the item and wanted to get a bargain?

For a moment, everyone present, especially those high-level body cultivators and Jindan stage cultivators, all had strange thoughts.

"This fellow Daoist has offered 10,000 spirit stones. Is there anyone willing to continue bidding?" On the high platform, Lord Feng was naturally also very surprised. He even wanted to directly ask the other party why he did so. Could it be that he really knew this thing?

Fortunately, she also knew that now was not the time to ask questions, especially since the other party's identity as the Holy Son and his relationship with Wanfang Tower could not be exposed.

Ten thousand spirit stones is not a small amount after all, and it is just the reserve price. Who knows how much it will increase after the auction?

For those present, even if they heard someone make a bid, they guessed that the other party might recognize this item, but they were still a little hesitant.

In fact, many people have been tempted, but they are hesitant because they think there will be better things later. If they act impulsively at this time and spend a large amount of spirit stones, it is still unclear whether they can get a bargain. If the desired items appear later, they will be powerless.

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of Fenglouzhu. Her beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and then she spoke again at a very fast speed,

"Ten thousand spirit stones for one time, ten thousand spirit stones for two times, and ten thousand spirit stones for three times. Since no one has bid, this item belongs to this fellow Taoist. Congratulations."

"Uh……"

"..."

Almost everyone in the entire venue was stunned, especially those high-level body cultivators and Jindan stage cultivators who had just been hesitating and wondering whether to get involved. They were even more dumbfounded at this moment.

What's going on?

It is true that they were hesitant, but they didn't say they would really not take action?
As a result, the item was sold so quickly that they didn't even have time to react.

The transaction was completed at the reserve price of 10,000 spirit stones, an amount they could still afford.

The owner of Feng Tower must have done this on purpose. He had asked questions again and again about every item that was auctioned before, but now that it was this item's turn, he just ended it without asking any questions?

Could it be that the two of them had an affair?
This is really possible. After all, this is Wanfang Tower, a real brothel. As the owner of the tower, it is understandable that he has some special habits due to the influence of his surroundings.

Besides, the man is so handsome and is a physical practitioner, so he is naturally very strong. Maybe he is really the lover of Master Fenglou.

For a moment, everyone secretly complained in their hearts, and the eyes they looked at the two people became increasingly strange. However, even though there were too many doubts in their hearts, no one opened their mouths to question them from beginning to end.

The item has already been sold. There is no point in saying more. Unless you have the ability to ignore the established rules of the auction, it is simply meaningless.

"This item came from a good friend of Feng. She had specifically instructed that she needed to meet with the person who bought the item, so the transaction cannot be completed at the moment. I hope this Taoist fellow can understand." Master Feng said again. However, what she didn't know was that just because of a little selfishness, she had aroused endless speculation from everyone present.

Now that the transaction is to be completed in private, it makes people imagine even more!

Pairs of eyes swept back and forth between Feng Louzhu and Mo Juren, and their expressions became meaningful.

"Okay." Mo Juren just frowned slightly at the hundreds of strange looks cast at him, and then he was too lazy to pay attention to them. As for Master Feng's decision, he also had no objection and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Fenglou Master smiled and signaled the maid to take the stone ball down. Then he changed the subject and said loudly again:
"We have made sufficient preparations for this auction, and there will be even better treasures later. Fellow Taoists, there is no need to worry. Let's continue..."

In the following period of time, many more items were exhibited. The items were good, but they were still useless to Mo Juren.

He couldn't help but sigh. As expected, at an auction of this level, the probability of finding something suitable for him was too low.

There were some that were suitable for Xiao Ya, so he bought them directly. Except for two items with slightly higher prices which were paid for by Wanfanglou, he had to spend spirit stones himself for the others.

As the holy son of the Tianxiang Sect, he receives resource support almost every year, including a considerable number of spirit stones. Therefore, compared to three years ago, he is not too embarrassed now.

Before we knew it, the auction came to an end and the sky outside gradually darkened.

At this time, another maid walked up to the platform, holding in her hand the last item of the auction, which was also the real finale.

Almost every time Wanfanglou holds an auction, the finale is carefully prepared and always brings surprises to people.

Master Feng Lou did not delay and immediately lifted the red cloth, revealing a purple animal egg about half a foot in diameter.

This is a real monster egg, completely different from the previous stone ball. Not only is there a glow on the surface, but through exploration with spiritual sense, one can also clearly sense the weak vitality inside the egg.

“I think everyone is familiar with the demon beast Purple Light Eagle. After reaching adulthood, it can reach the level of a sixth-level demon beast. Not only does it have powerful combat power, it also has an unparalleled flying speed.

I think everyone knows its value clearly, so there is no need for me to elaborate. The auction will start now. The reserve price is 10,000 spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 1,000. Let's start..."

Naturally, most of the people present knew the Purple Light Eagle, which was a truly rare spiritual bird. Although it could only grow to the peak of level six, its actual combat power was comparable to that of a level seven monster.

For cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, it is absolutely a rare item.

Having this eagle as a companion spirit beast not only provides a powerful helper, but also greatly facilitates long-distance flying.

And it's not just cultivators, high-level body cultivators can also make contracts, or use specific treasures, or perform blood contracts through some special means, and the effects are just as good.

Compared to cultivators, high-level body cultivators are more eager to contract with flying spirit birds. After all, their own maneuverability is too poor. With the assistance of spirit birds, their combat effectiveness will be greatly improved instantly.

As soon as Lord Feng finished speaking, many high-level body cultivators and Jindan stage cultivators below immediately began to bid. As for the others, they were not strong enough and their pockets were limited, so they could only watch with envy.

"Ten thousand spirit stones..."

"eleven thousand……"

"Twelve thousand..." "..."

Before anyone knew it, the price had doubled to 20,000 spirit stones, but the bidders showed no intention of stopping and continued to bid.

It was not until the price reached 30,000 that the number of bidders began to drop sharply, with only five or six people still bidding.

None of these people are independent cultivators; they all come from various forces. Whether in terms of strength or financial resources, they are far beyond the reach of independent cultivators.

Sitting somewhere below, Mo Juren watched the fierce competition among the crowd but never participated. It was not because he was afraid of spending spirit stones, but simply because he looked down on it.

A monster that can only grow to the peak of level six at most when it is an adult has too low potential and naturally cannot be in his eyes.

As for Xiao Ya, if he had the chance, he would be willing to find a spirit beast contract for her, but it definitely couldn't be an ordinary creature like this.

Not long after, the young egg of the Purple Eagle was finally bought by one of the middle-aged men. The price was ridiculously high, but this was an auction and naturally could not be compared with the prices in the shops outside.

At this point, the auction was completely over, and everyone present dispersed one after another, except Mo Juren and Xiao Ya, who went straight to the fifth floor under the guidance of the maid.

"Friend Mo, long time no see!" Walking into the familiar room, Mo Juren saw the beautiful figure of Fenglouzhu again, but his expression did not change at all, he just asked meaningfully,

"The so-called auction items need to be traded in person, I guess it's just a cover, right? What is your purpose in deliberately bringing me here to meet you, Fellow Daoist Feng?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Friend Mo, you are overthinking. What I said at the auction was absolutely true." The owner of Feng Tower smiled sweetly, then gently clapped her hands. The next moment, a graceful figure slowly walked out from the inner room.

The visitor was also a woman, wearing a purple palace skirt. Her appearance and temperament were no worse than Feng Louzhu's, and her strength was also at the same early stage of Jindan.

"Let me introduce you. This is my good friend Xue Rou, also a guardian of our sect. However, she is not from the Chongzhou branch, but from Lingzhou, which is farther away. She brought the mysterious stone ball." Feng Louzhu smiled and nodded to Mo Juren, then looked at the woman Xue Rou again and said,
"As for this fellow Daoist Mo, he is the candidate for the Holy Son chosen by Sister Zhou. I don't need to say more about the rest, right?"

"The Holy Son of our religion?" Upon hearing this, Xue Rou was immediately surprised. She looked at Mo Juren for a long time, then nodded and said,

"Sister Zhou is so lucky to have found such an excellent candidate for the Holy Son."

"Indeed, they are excellent. I went back to take a look a few years ago. Among the thirty Saint Sons selected by the Chongzhou branch this time, Fellow Daoist Mo's qualifications are definitely ranked first. When the second Saint Son Competition comes, I'm afraid your Lingzhou branch will also be outdone."

"Just go ahead and compete. I don't care about these things." Xue Rou shook her head slightly.

"I forgot that with your hardworking nature, my sister, you are really not interested in anything except cultivation." Master Feng couldn't help but laugh.

After some greetings, the three of them sat down one after another. At this time, the owner of Fenglou just waved his jade hand, and suddenly an exquisite jade box appeared on the table. Inside was the mysterious stone ball.
"I'm very curious, why did Fellow Daoist Mo take a picture of this thing? Do you know its origin?"

When she asked this question, not only she, but Xue Rou beside her also had a face full of curiosity. This shows that even as the owner of the stone ball, she still didn't recognize it.

"I may disappoint you two fellow Taoists. I just think this thing is peculiar, so I want to take a gamble, maybe there's a chance of getting a bargain. As for its origin, I also know nothing about it." Mo Juren smiled.

He was not lying, he really didn't know what it was, but the reason he gave was half true and half false.

The reason why I chose to take a picture of this stone ball was because when this thing appeared before, the innate stone fetus clone in the Dantian fluctuated slightly.

Although it was extremely weak, he still caught it. However, there has been no abnormality since then. Even now, when he is so close to the stone ball, there is still no reaction.

However, even so, it is enough to confirm that this stone ball is not simple, and it may help the recovery of the stone fetus clone.

After hearing his answer, the two women looked at each other. They were disappointed, but at the same time, they felt a bit doubtful deep down.

Just for a gamble? This reason is a bit far-fetched. It is very likely that the other party knows the origin of the stone ball but is unwilling to tell it.

Although they are in the same power, there is not much trust between the two sides. It is understandable that the other party is unwilling to disclose it, but it is inevitable that they feel a little resentful in their hearts.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, do you really not recognize this thing?" Xue Rou was still a little unwilling to give up, so she asked again tentatively. However, this time, Mo Juren's face darkened.

"Since you two fellow Taoists don't believe in me, what's the point of saying all this?"

"Friend Mo, please don't be angry. Sister Xue has been practicing hard for many years, so she is a little ignorant of worldly affairs. That's why I asked a question directly. I didn't mean any other meaning. I hope you can forgive me if I offended you." Seeing that the situation was not right, Lord Feng immediately spoke up to smooth things over.

At this time, Xue Rou finally reacted and apologized sincerely.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have doubted you for no reason. I hope you won't mind my disrespect."

"It's just a small matter, nothing serious." Mo Juren nodded, then looked at the Fenglou Master and asked,
"According to Fellow Daoist Feng's previous promise, does this stone ball count as Mo's?"

"Of course it belongs to me." Master Feng glanced at Xue Rou beside him and said with a chuckle without any hesitation.

"Of course, we must keep our promises. Fellow Daoist, you can take the stone ball away directly."

"Thank you very much." Mo Juren did not hesitate to take the stone ball in his hand. At that moment, the innate stone fetus clone in his dantian fluctuated again.

Sensing this, he was immediately overjoyed, but his face remained expressionless. Instead, he held the stone ball and looked at it, looking completely unsure.

Seeing this scene, the two women couldn't help but feel doubtful again. Could it be that they were really overthinking?
Although he had obtained the stone ball, Mo Juren did not show any sign of being eager to leave. Instead, he put the thing down and continued chatting with the two women.

During the next period of time, he planned to gain some experience in several nearby cities and Tianmuling, and it was a good opportunity to ask the two of them about some precautions.

This was not a secret in the first place, so the two women naturally would not hide it and patiently answered all the questions in detail.

It was not until half an hour had passed and it was already dark outside that Mo Juren finally said goodbye and left with the little girl.

At this moment, the smiles on the two women's faces quickly disappeared.

"how do you feel?"

"Can't see through!"

"I thought I was the only one who felt this way, but I didn't expect you to feel the same way. It seems that this Daoist friend Mo is really not simple!" The Fenglou Master sighed, and then changed the subject.
"That mysterious stone ball is very likely to be something of great origin. Now that it has fallen into the hands of the other party, don't you feel bad?"

"Why should I feel sad?" Xue Rou shook her head slightly, and suddenly she waved her jade hand gently. In an instant, rays of light flashed, and dozens of stone balls fell on the ground, directly piling up into a small hill.

Compared with the previous one, these stone balls are no different from the previous one except that they are of different sizes and slightly irregular shapes.

"This..." Fenglouzhu was stunned, but he reacted instantly.
"Okay, you damn girl, you even deceived me!"
