Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

“It’s so lively! It’s much bigger than Yueyang City!” In Yunhua City, on the endless street, looking at the dense crowds of pedestrians coming and going, the little girl said excitedly.

"Yueyang City is only a few hundred miles in radius, but here is thousands of miles, so they are naturally incomparable." Mo Juren explained with a smile. He was about to continue speaking, but at this moment, a short old man in ordinary clothes suddenly came forward.

"I've met this senior."

"You are..." Mo Juren's mind moved, and he saw that people who had just walked into the city gate were also approached in other places. He probably understood what was going on, but still asked.

“This should be the first time for the senior to come to Yunhua City, right? It just so happens that I was born here and am familiar with the situation here, so…” The old man did not continue speaking, but his meaning was clear.

"Tell me the price?" Mo Juren nodded slightly and asked directly.

"Only five spirit stones are needed. Of course, if you are not satisfied, four will also be fine." The old man slowly quoted the price, but his expression was a little nervous, as if he was afraid that the other party would refuse.

Such behavior couldn't help but make the little girl a little surprised. Since she followed Mo Juren on the path of cultivation, although she was not rich, she had never lacked spirit stones.

However, in the eyes of this old man, he was so cautious in quoting the price of four spirit stones. It can be seen how difficult it is for ordinary people to earn spirit stones?

"Okay, lead the way..." It was just a few spirit stones, and Mo Juren was too lazy to bargain, so he agreed immediately. Upon hearing this, the old man was overjoyed and hurriedly said respectfully,
"Senior, please follow me."

Led by the old man, the three of them walked slowly along the street towards the city.

The other party is indeed a local born and raised person. He knows the entire Yunhua City and the surrounding areas very well and will answer any questions one by one.

Mo Juren was very satisfied with this and felt that the five spirit stones were well worth it.

In addition, he also learned an unexpected situation. The old man was actually a cultivator in the past, and a cultivator in the Jindan stage. However, due to an accident, his foundation was damaged and his magic power was lost. He thus became a mortal and lived by working as a guide in exchange for spirit stones.

No wonder he knows so many things, there is a reason.

He also asked about the situation of various forces in Yunhua City. The other party also knew a lot about this, even some secrets.

"Let's talk about 'Ziyun Pavilion'. I heard that the famous Zixiao Sword Sect is behind it. Is it true?" Mo Juren asked casually, suddenly thinking of something.

"Of course it is true. Besides, this matter is not a secret in Yunhua City. Everyone knows it." The old man nodded and continued,

"As one of the ten great sects of the human race in Xuanwu Realm, the Zixiao Sword Sect is powerful enough to rank in the top three, and the sect master, Master Zixiao, has the cultivation base of the late stage of fusion.

The founder of Ziyun Pavilion is extremely mysterious, and few people know his identity, but everyone has some guesses. It is very likely that he is the 'Fairy Mieqing', the beloved daughter of Master Zixiao.

It is for this reason that, although the Purple Cloud Pavilion is just a special sect composed of women on the surface and has been established for less than three thousand years, it has already made a great name for itself in the entire Xuanwu Realm, and even the big sects dare not provoke it. "

"Is Ziyun Pavilion still recruiting disciples?" Mo Juren asked again with a flicker in his eyes.

"Of course we recruit, and we recruit once every ten years. However, the requirements are extremely strict, and only women can be admitted. Unless you have top-level talent, it is impossible to pass."

"When does the next one start?"

"Ah..." The old man was stunned for a moment, and his eyes subconsciously looked at the little girl, and he suddenly understood something in his heart.

"Senior, you have come at the right time. The next time Ziyun Pavilion will recruit disciples is exactly seven days later. Moreover, although the Ziyun Pavilion in Yunhua City is only a branch, it is also qualified to recruit students."

"Seven days later?" Mo Juren was secretly happy. He didn't have to wait too long.
"What preparations will be needed?"

"Nothing is required, as long as the admission requirements are met." The old man shook his head slightly, and suddenly thought of something, his expression became serious.
"There is one thing I need to remind you, senior. Although joining the Purple Cloud Pavilion is a great choice, it comes at a great price. The disciples in the pavilion must swear with their Dao heart to completely sever their relationship with men and women. In addition, the cultivation method of this sect is quite special and seems to have a similar effect. Practitioners usually become indifferent and heartless, with only the Dao and immortality in their hearts."

"There is such a thing!" Mo Juren was filled with astonishment. The Master of Ziyun Pavilion was really weird. He actually set such inhumane rules. Could it be that he had been stimulated by something?

The Fairy of Mieqing, just the name alone gives people too much imagination.

In his original plan, he wanted Xiao Ya to join Ziyun Pavilion. Firstly, they were all girls, so it would be more convenient for Xiao Ya to enter. Secondly, she had a strong background and there was no need to worry about any danger.

However, what he did not expect was that there were such bizarre conditions for joining Ziyun Pavilion.

In this case, my original plan needs to be changed. It's not that it must involve any love between men and women, but it can't be cut off so forcibly.

This extreme approach may not necessarily be a good thing for the pursuit of longevity.

"It is precisely because of this special sect rule, coupled with the extremely high requirements for the qualifications of disciples, that over the years, very few people have been able to join the Purple Cloud Pavilion." The old man glanced at the little girl again, and then changed the subject.

"In fact, there are quite a few forces in Yunhua City that are related to the Immortal Cultivation Sect. They are not much worse than the Purple Cloud Pavilion. Senior, you can consider other options."

“What do you recommend?”

“You can join the Lingyue Academy, which is backed by the Lingyue Sect, a great Confucian and Taoist sect. Although it is not as good as the top ten sects, the sect master, Lingyue Zhenren, is also a powerful person in the early stage of fusion.

Moreover, Lingyue Sect has always been on good terms with the 'Nine Saints Palace', which is the largest Confucian and Taoist sect in Fengyuan Continent and has a strong background.

Lingyue Academy also has very high requirements for the qualifications of its disciples. In addition, they must possess a certain Confucian talent, but there are no strange requirements. "

"Lingyue Academy, Lingyue Sect!" Mo Juren was slightly surprised. It turned out that he still had to conduct an actual investigation. There was no relevant record in the information he had collected in Yueyang City before.

If Lingyue Academy is really backed by Lingyue Sect, then it is indeed worth considering. It is even possible to let Xiao Ya stay in Lingyue Academy forever, so that she doesn't have to follow him around.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Xiao Ya possesses top-level Confucian and Taoist talents and will be given key training, otherwise he will not change his mind.

“Are there any other options?”

"Of course there are, but compared to Ziyun Pavilion and Lingyue Academy, they are much worse. Besides, I didn't achieve much in the past, and now I have fallen into mortal status. Maybe there are some things I don't know..." The old man shook his head slightly and continued,
"Purple Cloud Pavilion recruits disciples every ten years, and Lingyue Academy is similar. What's more, coincidentally, the next recruitment time is even earlier than the previous one, just three days later." "Three days?" Mo Juren nodded slightly, but he didn't care too much. After all, it was only a difference of a few days, and it didn't have much impact.
"I will consider this matter. In addition, in view of your service today, I will double the spiritual stones on the original basis as a reward."

"Thank you, senior!" The old man was overjoyed when he heard that he could get twice as many spirit stones, and he worked even harder in the following process.

Not long after, on the recommendation of the old man, Mo Juren and Xiao Ya temporarily settled down in a restaurant called "Huayang Tower", and then the former left happily with the spirit stone.

At this time, Mo Juren's expression became serious and he began to communicate seriously with Xiao Ya.

"You have heard about the situation of Ziyun Pavilion and Lingyue Academy. How is it? Do you have any thoughts?"

"I want to go to Lingyue Academy, but I don't know if I can get in." Xiao Ya made the decision without even thinking about it, but at the same time she felt a little uneasy.

She was not worried about her spiritual roots. After all, her uncle had said that wind-type spiritual roots were top-level qualifications and there shouldn't be any big problems.

On the contrary, she had no idea about the so-called Confucian and Taoist talents, and she was not sure whether she had them.

"It's good that you have made the decision. As for whether it can be passed, just let nature take its course. At worst, we can choose other forces. Besides, when things are settled, you can leave with me as long as you are willing, so it doesn't matter which sect you join." Mo Juren smiled and comforted the other party without any worries.

"Of course I am willing. Uncle, don't forget to come back to pick me up when the time comes." The little girl answered immediately, saying with some anticipation.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Don't worry, I won't forget you." Mo Juren smiled and rubbed the other person's head.

"You have been traveling for the past few months, and I think you must be tired. Take a good rest tonight. We will go to Linghua Academy tomorrow to check the situation."

"Okay, I understand!" The little girl nodded obediently. She was indeed a little tired. Then she trotted straight to the bed and fell into a deep sleep not long after closing her eyes.

In contrast, Mo Juren didn't feel sleepy at all.

Xiao Ya has made all the arrangements, and now it’s her own business.

If you want to go to Tiansha Valley, you must pass through the Wan Yao Mountains, where there are countless monsters living, some of which are in transformed form, and some are even higher level.

Now that he has just recovered his physical body, theoretically he is comparable to a strong man in the Spirit Transformation Realm, but there are many big monsters of the same level in the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain Range, who are able to fly and use magic. Once entangled by them, or even besieged, it would be extremely dangerous.

In fact, he does have other trump cards, such as the Qianlan Ice Flame in his body, the Vermillion Bird Fire Spirit, the Thunder and Lightning Star Ring in his Dantian, etc. These are extremely powerful means.

However, just like his own physical condition, these trump cards were also affected after entering the space storm.

The spiritual power of the Qianlan Ice Flame and the Suzaku Fire Spirit were both severely damaged. They have been dormant since he woke up. They can be forced to act, but it will definitely affect their recovery. It is difficult to predict what the consequences will be.

Therefore, he would never do that unless it was absolutely necessary.

The lightning star ring was not spiritual and was not damaged, but for some reason, the large amount of lightning that had been stored in the lower world had almost disappeared, leaving only a thin layer.

This is even more useless, and that is why he has been so passive all along.

As for the several major edicts in the sea of ​​consciousness, using this thing requires the consumption of both mana and spiritual consciousness at the same time, and the consumption is extremely high. It is simply not feasible for him now.

To sum up, this trip to the Wan Yao Mountains is bound to be accompanied by huge risks.

Tiansha Valley is a forbidden area, so naturally there is no flying boat to it. You can only rely on yourself for everything. How to minimize the risk is the most important thing to consider right now.

Thinking of this, he immediately took out the Xuanwu Realm map he had bought in the past.

It covers a full 30% of the entire Xuanwu Realm, naturally including the Wan Yao Mountains, and is also extremely detailed. I think it was the work of some powerful person.

It can be clearly seen from the map that the Wan Yao Mountains are extremely vast, stretching millions of miles from east to west. If the magic power still existed, it would be possible to bypass it, but that is impossible now.

Therefore, going directly through the mountain is the only option. The Wan Yao Mountains run east-west, so it is not too far from south to north. The shortest one is only a few thousand miles.

With his speed, as long as there are no accidents, he might be able to reach the other side in less than half a month.

However, things are not that simple. The shortest spot happens to pass through an area called the 'Valley of Confusion'. As the name suggests, anyone who enters the valley will immediately lose their mind, and no one has ever come out alive.

As for why this was the case, he had no idea. After all, the information was collected from Yueyang City and was not very detailed.

Now that he has arrived in Yunhua City, he naturally needs to continue to explore. Only then can he decide whether to take this road. If not, he will have to choose another place.

However, in this way, the distance would certainly be greatly increased, and there were countless monsters in the Wan Yao Mountains, so it was unpredictable what one might encounter, and the risk might not be reduced much.

In short, no matter what choice you make, risks are inevitable.

It is related to the recovery of his body, so he must go to Tiansha Valley. Even if he encounters great danger on the way, it will not change his will.

Therefore, you can only make the best preparations possible before setting off.

There is another point that needs to be noted. When he was rushing here from Yueyang City, he once felt inexplicably panicked, and he has not forgotten this.

He originally thought that he would encounter some trouble on the way, but in the end he didn't. Instead of reassuring him, this made him feel a little anxious.

Maybe nothing will happen, or maybe something will happen, but no matter what, he must act as soon as possible. Only when his strength is restored will he at least have the capital to fight if something really happens.

Therefore, he does not have much time left. (End of this chapter)
