Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

"Don't push your luck!" Before the Soul Puppet could say anything, its real body beside it suddenly became furious. How could she not hear that the other party was clearly trying to make a big request.

"Mo, I just asked casually, how can you say that you are asking for more?" Mo Juren narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression turned cold.

"Since Senior has this attitude, let's just not discuss it anymore. Let's just maintain the status quo."

"You want to die!" Luosha Guiji's face was cold, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent. However, facing this, Mo Juren remained extremely calm and said with a smile,

"Senior Luosha, are you planning to take action? Why not give it a try? Between me and your soul puppet, who will die faster?"

"You..." Luosha Guiji was shaking with anger. She was of such a high status that she was being held in such a control by a junior. It was such a shame and humiliation.

But his vital point was grasped by the other party, and he couldn't attack at all. For a moment, he felt extremely depressed.

"Okay, you two, we are here to negotiate, so we can talk it over nicely. Why are we being so tense?" Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Hun Kui quickly spoke up to persuade them.

"Of course we can discuss it. I have no objection. But Senior Luosha seems unwilling!" Mo Juren said with a smile, which immediately made Luosha Guiji's beautiful eyes spit fire again.

"You are such a sarcastic little guy, and she is so straightforward, it would be strange if she is not angry." Soul Puppet rolled his eyes at her coquettishly, and then said,

"Okay, I'll take charge of the negotiations. You don't need to bother with her. Now tell me, what's the price?"

"To be honest, this matter is very difficult for me." Mo Juren's eyes flickered, but a trace of helplessness appeared on his face.

"Difficult?" Soul Puppet was slightly surprised and continued,

"You can tell us what the price is. As long as it is within our ability, we will do our best to meet it."

"The issue of cost is only one of the issues. The more critical issue is how to ensure Mo's own safety?" Mo Juren sighed and continued,

"This matter was not my fault in the first place. It was you who insisted on catching up with me and even took action. If it weren't for Mo's other tricks, what would the result be now?

I think at that time, even if I paid a huge price, you would not be so kind, right? By then, there is a high probability that my life would be in danger, and there would be no chance for negotiation like now. "

"It is true that we were wrong in this matter, but you are wrong about one thing. As you mentioned before, there is no grudge between you and me, so I will not take your life."

"Really?" Mo Juren laughed.

"To a big shot like you, I am nothing more than an ant that can be crushed to death at will. Life and death are just a matter of a thought. It doesn't matter if we have no grudges. If I get a little angry in the future, how can you guarantee that you won't attack me? Especially with a character like Senior Luosha, I really don't believe it!"

"If you are an ant, then what am I? Am I not even as good as an ant?" Soul Puppet retorted directly.

"That's because I still have some means, so I have the ability to fight back, but what if I don't? You can't deny the rationality of what I just said, right?" Mo Juren asked again, and sure enough, when he heard this, the Soul Puppet sighed.

"What if we just swear?"

"Oaths are not omnipotent, especially since there is such a huge gap between you and me in terms of strength and knowledge. Even if you do something in secret, I won't know." Mo Juren shook his head again.

"Even swearing doesn't work, so what do you say we should do?" Hun Kui was speechless, thinking to himself, this guy is not very old, but he acts like an old monster. Isn't he too cautious?

"What can I do? You don't know, so how can I, a junior with weak strength, know?" Mo Juren shook his head slightly, looking as if he had given up completely.

As for asking the two women to share a part of their souls, this is naturally a solution, but as I said before, the gap between the two sides is too big. Even if it is 30% of the soul origin, he is still not at ease.

Besides, the other party is not the same enemy as before. Let alone asking him to give up 30% of his soul, I am afraid he will not agree to even give up 10%.

Therefore, Mo Juren simply didn't bother to mention it and just gave up. As for how to make him completely believe that he would not be retaliated against, sorry, he would not believe it anyway. Only the control of the auxiliary device was the safest.

This made the two girls very angry. You seem to be confident, so you are not in a hurry at all. But what about them? They don't have time to waste here.

Unfortunately, this guy is so cautious to the core that he doesn't even believe in oaths, so there's really nothing we can do.

After a pause, the Soul Puppet suddenly had an idea and said again:

"If my guess is correct, the technique you practice should have the attributes of the five elements at the same time, right?"

"That's true!" Mo Juren nodded without comment. It was impossible to hide this from the other party, so he naturally didn't care. He was just quite curious in his heart, why did the other party suddenly mention this?

"It has the attributes of the five elements at the same time. I think it is to prepare for the advancement to the Void Refining Stage in the future. But at the same time, the difficulty of practicing this kind of skills is also very high, and the time and energy required will increase exponentially." At this point, the soul puppet's eyes suddenly flashed, and he said again,

"Have you prepared for the breakthrough to the Void Refining Realm?"

"Ready?" Mo Juren looked slightly surprised, then shook his head slightly.

"I am still in the early stage of Spiritual Transformation. The Void Refining Realm is too far away. How can I prepare for it?"

"How can I not care about such a thing?" Soul Puppet shook his head slightly, and at the same time, he waved his jade hand lightly, and a half-foot square jade box appeared on the table.

When the lid of the box was opened, what came into view were five small jade bottles about an inch high, in five colors: black, white, green, red and yellow.

"This is..." The moment he saw the five-colored jade bottle, Mo Juren's expression was shocked. Although he didn't know what was inside, he could faintly feel the pure energy emanating from it, which possessed the attributes of the five elements.

“As we all know, if cultivators want to break through the realm of refining emptiness, they must achieve the unity of the five elements. That’s why so many cultivators change to practicing some multi-attribute exercises in the stage of transformation of spirit.

However, most people would choose to start in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation. You are only in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation now, which is a bit early. This may consume more time and energy.

But your situation is a little special. You are obviously only at the initial stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, but your magic power and spiritual awareness are as strong as those of the late-stage cultivators.

I don't want to explore why this is so, but it cannot be judged by common sense.

Let’s talk about breaking through the realm of refining emptiness and uniting the five elements. It is not enough to practice multi-attribute exercises to succeed. There are many examples of failure, and once you fail, it means that you cannot break through.

This bottle contains the famous 'Five Elements Spirit Source', which corresponds to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. If you take this at the critical moment of breakthrough, you can at least increase your chances by 20%. "

"It's actually such a treasure!" Upon hearing that it was a treasure that could increase the chance of breaking through the Void Refining Realm and the effect reached 20%, Mo Juren was instantly moved.

The value of such treasures is self-evident, especially for cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage.

However, it only took a moment for him to return to normal. He was confident enough that he could break through the realm of refining emptiness in the future. Even without the five elements spiritual source, it did not mean that he could not do it.

The other party's purpose of taking this thing out was also very simple, nothing more than wanting to use it as a bargaining chip to gain freedom, but unfortunately, it was far from enough, at least for him, such a deal was not worth it. It was unknown when he would break through the realm of refining emptiness? Wouldn't a subordinate in the late stage of refining emptiness be more practical?

What's more crucial is that as long as the other party is under his control and will not suddenly attack, they may become friends over time. At that time, these five elements spiritual sources may not even need to be traded.

He can still distinguish the pros and cons.

The two women were naturally not able to hide the change in his expression in an instant. The main body remained silent, but his expression became even colder. The soul puppet looked surprised:

"You are not interested in such treasures?"

"How could that be?" Mo Juren shook his head slightly and continued,

"As I said before, if you can't ensure your own safety, don't even think about letting the senior go free."

"You're looking for death..." Hearing his unyielding answer, the main body once again became furious, but was immediately held down by the soul puppet beside him.

"Okay, don't get involved in this matter."

"Can't you see it now? He has no intention of setting you free, so why are you still wasting time talking to him?" Luosha Ghost Queen's tone was cold, and the murderous intent in her eyes was difficult to suppress.

"So, do you have a better way to solve this problem? Or can you guarantee my safety without taking action?" Soul Puppet growled, his expression becoming serious.

"I..." Luosha Guiji opened her mouth, but finally compromised.

The conversation between the two naturally caught Mo Juren's attention, especially the attitudes between the two sides, which made him extremely curious.

To be honest, he only learned some information about his natal soul puppet from the disciple of Tianhun Sect, but it was not detailed. But now it seems that the mystery is far from as simple as he understood.

Generally speaking, the main body is the main one, and the soul puppet, as the name suggests, should be a puppet, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case.

These two women are clearly two independent individuals, each with independent consciousness, and they have an equal relationship with each other.

"According to you, there is really no room for negotiation?" After comforting the main body, the soul puppet looked at Mo Juren again and asked.

"At least now is not the right time." Mo Juren nodded, but then changed the subject.

"In fact, things are far from that complicated. You are overthinking. Although I control your life and death, that's all. I am doing it for self-protection and won't do anything. Besides, even if I really make some excessive demands, if you don't agree, just refuse directly. Can I force you?"

"You have a nice idea. What? Are you really planning to keep me by your side as your follower?" Soul Puppet raised his eyebrows, obviously a little angry.

"Senior, please don't misunderstand me. I don't have the courage to keep you by my side as a follower. You can come and go freely. If you really think that I am an eyesore, it doesn't matter if we never meet again in the future." Mo Juren laughed, but his words stunned the other party for a moment. After a long time, he asked uncertainly,

"Are you serious?"

"I have never broken my promise. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try. This cannot be faked." Mo Juren said in a firm tone.

At this moment, the Soul Puppet suddenly began to believe it, and even its original body, which had been stern and hostile, was slightly moved.

Since complete freedom is impossible, such a solution is not unacceptable. It is nothing more than an extra restriction in the body, but I will not be forced to do anything, and it doesn't matter if we never see each other again in the future.

This has almost no impact. Of course, it doesn't mean we will never see each other again. With this restriction in place, I am considered his subordinate and it doesn't hurt to help to the best of my ability.

With this mode of interaction, the resistance in her heart suddenly dissipated. At least at the moment, she couldn't think of a better way to deal with it.

Thinking of this, she suddenly pushed the jade box in front of her forward, smiled and said:

"I will believe you for once. Besides, we were indeed wrong in the previous incident. This thing can be regarded as an apology."

"Ah, this... this is too valuable!" Mo Juren was a little overwhelmed by the other party's sudden action. After all, he had originally thought of getting the thing through other means in the future, but in the end, the other party just gave it to him directly.

"This item is indeed rare, but it is of no use to us, so you can take it. We just hope you can keep your word, and we will be very grateful."

"Don't worry, senior. Everything I said just now is true. There is absolutely no deception." Mo Juren solemnly promised again, and upon hearing this, the other party nodded with satisfaction.

After the serious business was finished, the atmosphere became harmonious. Of course, it was only between Mo Juren and the Soul Puppet. As for the original Rakshasa, although it eased a little, it still did not look very good.

After all, he was a powerful man in the late stage of the Refining Void realm. Now he has become a nominal subordinate of a junior, which is still a little hard to accept.

Mo Juren didn't care about this. This kind of thing should never be forced. Playing the emotional card is the wisest and will yield the greatest rewards, just like when he got along with Fairy Xuanming.

After some casual chatting, the two sides became more familiar with each other, and Mo Juren even knew the other party's name.

Ling Xueyi, a very gentle and dignified name, but it sounds like it doesn’t seem to match the person herself!

"If my inference is correct, you are planning to go to Tianyuan City, right?" After some casual chatting, Hun Kui suddenly asked.

"That's true." Mo Juren naturally did not hide it and continued,

"It has not been long since I ascended to the spirit world, and I need to take the Dust-Extinguishing Pill, so I have to go."

"He is actually a first generation ascended monk!" Soul Puppet looked slightly surprised and continued,

"So you want to join the Tianyuan Guard. The first generation of ascended monks will indeed receive some attention, but it is limited after all. You don't have any background. If you just go there directly, you will suffer in all aspects."

"I don't know anyone, so it's inevitable that I'll suffer. Besides, my goal is the Dust-Extinguishing Pill, so the rest is not important."

"You are completely wrong." Soul Puppet shook his head slightly and continued,

"There are countless guards in Tianyuan City, and there are even more factions. If you only have strength but no background, you will be restricted everywhere. Becoming a Tianyuan Guard is only the first step. After that, you have to go out and complete missions. This is not only related to your own safety, but also affects how much rewards you can get. How can it not be important?"

"Since you said that, do you have any suggestions?" Mo Juren was moved and asked sincerely.

"I used to be a member of the Tianyuan Guards, and I have served for many years. I have achieved a lot, and I have also accumulated some connections. Since you want to go there, I will accompany you. I dare not say anything else, but I can arrange a relatively suitable position for you."

When Soul Puppet said this, the real body Ling Xueyi next to him frowned immediately, but did not say anything to stop him.

Mo Juren was also very surprised, but he was very happy in his heart. After all, he knew nothing about Tianyuan City, and it was a good thing to have an acquaintance to lead him.

"We still have a lot of things to deal with, so we can't stay in Tianyuan City forever. We will leave after we settle you down. You won't object to this, right?" Soul Puppet asked again.

"Why do you have to test me like this, senior? Since I have promised, I will not go back on my word." Mo Juren laughed in silence. Sure enough, after hearing this, Hun Kui nodded with satisfaction.
