Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

"Thank you again, senior!" Mo Juren thanked again.

"No need to thank me, besides, didn't I accept your gift before?" The purple-robed man laughed and handed the jade slip back to the other party, and suddenly said,

"Not only the Red Feather Sword, but I just ate one of your Life-killing Fruits. I am not willing to take advantage of you for nothing. It just so happens that I have been in charge of the Jade Palace for many years and have a small fortune. I can also gather some of the resources above for you, so let's count it as an exchange."

"The Red Feather Sword was originally given to you, how can it be exchanged? Although the Life-killing Fruit is good, it is nothing but just one. Senior, you don't need to care about it." Mo Juren shook his head slightly, but changed the subject.

"But we can consider the exchange of resources. It happens that I need a lot of things, not just the ones on the jade slip. There may be other things in the future. I will need your support then."

Mo Juren knew very well that the other party had been in charge of Yuque Pavilion for many years and it was not just a matter of having a small fortune.

On the contrary, this is definitely a rare and high-quality customer, and must be maintained well. Compared with this, what is a life-killing fruit?

He said it lightly, but the purple-robed man was stunned. Just what was listed on the jade slip was shocking enough, but the other party wanted more. His appetite was really huge.

What is this going to do?

Alchemy? Refining weapons? It seems like neither!

It seems that the secrets of this person are far beyond his expectations!

On second thought, he found it not strange. After all, the other party was recommended to Tianyuan City by that Rakshasa woman, and he was only in the initial stage of Spirit Transformation, but he controlled a great demon in the Void Refinement Realm.

No matter how you look at it, it couldn't be simple.

However, although he was curious, he was tactful enough not to ask any further questions. He just smiled and nodded.

Since it is a fair deal, beneficial to both parties and can further improve the relationship with the other party, he naturally has no objection.

With this in mind, he took out three jade boxes and handed them to the other party:

"Since we are planning to make a long-term deal, let's start with the Life-killing Fruit. I will exchange these three materials for you. If you still don't agree, then let's just leave it at that."

"This..." Mo Juren opened his mouth, but finally could only smile helplessly.

"Well, I'll listen to you, senior!"

Since the other party insisted so much, he couldn't refuse anymore, so he immediately collected all three jade boxes and jade slips. As for what was in the boxes, he didn't even check.

Then, under the other party's guidance, he used the green jade pendant to mark the map, and the matter of the cave was completely settled.

"I originally planned to take over Team A-17 within three days, but I was delayed in the Thunder Prison for four days. Now I can't delay any longer." Mo Juren bowed and was about to say goodbye, but was suddenly stopped by the other party, who asked in surprise,

"Are you saying you want to take over Team A-17?"

"That's true, Senior, this is..." Mo Juren was a little surprised, but he saw the other party laughing.

"What a coincidence! A little girl from Jiao's family happens to be in this team, and I was planning to give the Red Feather Sword to them. I've heard them mention that they're going to have a new leader before, but I didn't expect it to be you, my friend."

"Oh, what a coincidence." Mo Juren was also stunned.

“There are countless Tianyuan Guard teams, but they are also divided into different echelons. Team A is undoubtedly the real elite force. Without sufficient strength, it is impossible to enter it, or even serve as the captain.

However, with Young Friend Mo's ability, he is more than qualified for this position. No wonder Fellow Daoist Ling strongly recommended him. It turns out that he had it in mind a long time ago." The purple-robed man couldn't help but sigh.

"I'm four days late, will that be okay?" Mo Juren asked again.

"What's the problem?" The purple-robed man shook his head slightly.

"This is Tianyuan City. Just like the cultivation world, everything is based on strength. As long as you are strong enough and can complete more tasks, anything can be accommodated. What does being late for a few days mean? But if you are too weak, even if you follow the rules, it will still be useless. You can't even gain a foothold in the Tianyuan Guards."

"So that's it!" Mo Juren nodded secretly. He agreed with such rules from the bottom of his heart. Tianyuan City was originally the barrier for both humans and demons to defend against the wilderness. The burden they carried was more than ten thousand pounds. Here, strength was everything. As long as the bottom line was not affected, nothing else mattered.

"Since it's Team A-17, and Jiao also wants to go visit that junior, I'll go with you." At this moment, the purple-robed man proposed again.

"That couldn't be better!" Mo Juren would naturally not refuse such a good thing. On the one hand, he could be led the way for himself, and on the other hand, being accompanied by a powerful Void Refinement Realm expert would also help him quickly establish prestige.

From what the other party just said, one can guess that this Team A must be extraordinary. They are the elite among the elites, far beyond the reach of ordinary teams.

The so-called Jianghu is about human relationships and the ways of the world, and the world of cultivating immortals is not just about fighting and killing, he is very clear about this.

There are so many members in Tianyuanwei, there must be many hidden talents. Maybe their individual strength is not strong, but they may have powerful backgrounds behind them.

Although there is no problem with his strength, he may not be able to subdue everyone. If he is accompanied by the big man in purple robe, the effect will be completely different.

While all kinds of thoughts were racing through their minds, the two had already left Yuque Pavilion and then flew through the air in a certain direction.

……

During the flight, the two had further exchanges.

Only then did Mo Juren know the other party's origins. His surname was Jiao and his given name was Kuo. He was from the Yundang Mountains in the north of Tianyuan Realm. Behind him was an old immortal cultivation family that had existed for tens of thousands of years.

According to the other party, the Jiao family once had a strong man in the fusion realm, but it declined later. Now, the strongest person in the entire family is only in the late stage of the refining realm.

Fortunately, his family has existed for tens of thousands of years and has some influence, otherwise he would not have been able to get a lucrative job at Yuque Pavilion.

It is a pity that such a lucrative job cannot last long. It is rotated every fifty years on average. If you want to get the job again, it depends on your own means.

When he heard that the deadline was only fifty years, Mo Juren was a little disappointed.

It seems that the previous evaluation of him as a high-quality customer has to be lowered a bit, but it is still nothing. A strong man in the realm of refining emptiness, who is from an old-fashioned immortal cultivation family, is of high value.

Not long after, the two of them flew to the front of a huge green tower.

This is not the same tower that we saw when we entered Tianyuan City before. On the contrary, the location of the giant tower in front of us is even closer to the core area, and even the many palaces around the giant tower are obviously different.

"That's the Tianjia Palace. Go get a set of 'Qingming Armor' first, and then go meet up with the team members..." Jiao Kuo reminded, pointing to a palace in front.

"Okay!" Mo Juren readily agreed.

The process of receiving the armor went smoothly. Mo Juren had been curious about the Qingming Armor for a long time. After personally inspecting it, he couldn't help but nod secretly. It was indeed not an ordinary item.

He did not put it away, but put it on directly. Then he followed the other party into a passage and went straight to the upper level.

After walking about ten floors, the two finally stopped in front of a palace door.

Mo Juren raised his eyes and saw the words "甲十七" above the palace door. The entire surface of the palace door was filled with a layer of white forbidden aura.

He immediately took out the green jade pendant that represented his identity and gently shook it towards the palace door. A burst of green mist emerged and the forbidden spiritual light on the door instantly dissipated. At this time, Mo Juren just pushed it gently, and the palace door slowly opened.

Walking into the interior, what comes into view is a large hall with a large number of tables, chairs and utensils. On both sides of the hall there is a passage, which obviously leads to other places.

The hall was not empty at this time. On the contrary, four monks wearing armor of different colors were sitting around a stone table in the center.

The two were blue in color, and like Mo Juren, they were obviously in the Spirit Transformation stage, but one of the old men was in the middle Spirit Transformation stage. The other two were black in color, and their cultivation was still in the Nascent Soul stage.

The four people looked old and young, but they were all men. The younger generation mentioned by Jiao Kuo before was a woman, and was obviously not here.

The sudden appearance of Mo Juren and Jiao Kuo naturally attracted the attention of the four men, but it was only for a moment before a look of respect appeared on their faces at the same time.

They didn't know one of them, but Jiao Kuo was very familiar with him. Two of the four people were helped by the other when they chose the spiritual land to open caves in the past.

Moreover, there is another member in the team, Jiao Wan'er, who is from the same family as this senior Jiao.

Faced with this senior in the Void Refinement Realm, the four of them naturally did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. After they realized what was happening, they all stood up and stepped forward to greet him.

"Excuse me, senior. Are you here to see Miss Jiao?" After a respectful salute, the oldest white-haired elder cupped his hands and asked proactively.

"I guess so." Jiao Kuo nodded, looked around, and then asked,

"Why, that girl isn't here?"

"Miss Jiao wants to refine a magic weapon and needs a relatively precious material, so she went to the market early in the morning. She hasn't returned yet, but it shouldn't be long." The old man nodded.

"Refine a magic weapon?" Jiao Kuo was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"No hurry, just wait a little longer. However, I am not here just for Wan'er, there is another more important matter..."

As he spoke, he pointed at Mo Juren beside him and continued,

"Let me introduce you. This young friend Mo is the new captain of Team A-17. Let's get to know each other."

"What, Captain?" Hearing Jiao Kuo's words, the four people present were stunned, especially the white-haired old man.

The strength of Team A is far beyond that of ordinary teams. Although the cultivation of all members varies, they are all true elites.

In the past, those who were able to serve as captain had cultivation levels at the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. That was why, after the previous captain left, he, who had cultivation levels at the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and the other two were not qualified to succeed.

But the strange man in front of him was only in the initial stage of transformation. How could he be the captain?

This is no joke!

The Tianyuan Guards have to enter the wilderness to complete a mission. The danger is self-evident. If the captain is not strong enough, it will be an absolute disaster for everyone.

The four of them all looked at Mo Juren, with suspicion and scrutiny expressed in no uncertain terms.

In this regard, Mo Juren remained calm and was not affected at all.

"I am fully aware of the doubts in your hearts. I would like to warn you all not to be misled by appearances. Young Master Mo's true strength is far from what it seems on the surface. Otherwise, why would the higher-ups let him take on such an important position as captain?" Jiao Kuo snorted coldly, but still gave an explanation.

As expected, as soon as these words were spoken, the four people in front suddenly showed a look of enlightenment. Indeed, the position of captain is so important, and the elders in the council are not confused, so how could they do something wrong?

There is only one possibility, that Fellow Daoist Mo's strength is indeed extraordinary, but his realm is too low. Even though the four of them have believed Jiao Kuo's words, they still feel a little uneasy.

Mo Juren naturally saw something and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If he really wanted to establish his prestige, he still had to show some real stuff. Just a few words from Jiao Kuo were obviously not enough.

Thinking of this, his eyes slightly narrowed, and then an extremely powerful aura swept out, instantly enveloping the four people.

The power of that aura was no less than that of a late-stage Spirit Transformation warrior, and it made the four of them change color on the spot and feel extremely depressed. Fortunately, the terrifying oppressive force came quickly and went away even faster, but the mentality of the four of them had completely changed at this time.

Although he hadn't taken action and couldn't be 100% sure of the opponent's true strength, the terrifying aura he displayed was enough to explain the problem.

"Greetings, Captain Mo!" The old man was the first to speak, followed by the other three, who all stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"We will be working together in the future, and we are all family. There is no need to be so polite." A smile instantly appeared on Mo Juren's face, and his words were extremely kind, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.

As a result, the four people's favorability towards the new captain has greatly increased.

At the invitation of the four people, Mo Juren and Jiao Kuojin came to the stone table and sat down, and then began to chat.

The first thing was naturally a self-introduction, and everyone reported their names and other information. Then the white-haired old man began to talk about the situation of the team.

As an elite team, Team A has ten members, not including the captain Mo Juren.

Among the ten people, most are in the Spirit Transformation stage, three of them are in the middle Spirit Transformation stage, and the remaining three are in the Nascent Soul stage. They are also outstanding among the same level cultivators and have extremely high growth potential.

"A team of ten people is so strong. I think the difficulty of accepting tasks will increase accordingly, right?" Suddenly, Mo Juren had an idea and asked.

"Captain is right, this is indeed the case." The white-haired old man nodded and continued,

"The difficulty of the mission will indeed increase, but at the same time, the rewards after completing the mission will also be greatly increased. The pros and cons of this will depend on your personal opinion."

"That's true!" This made sense, and Mo Juren agreed. In fact, with his strength, he didn't need to worry about this difficulty at all. He just thought of it suddenly and asked casually.

The white-haired old man then mentioned the other members. Due to the absence of the captain, the team has not accepted any missions in recent times.

Four of the other team members were in seclusion in their respective caves, and two went to the market. One of them was Jiao Kuo's younger generation Jiao Wan'er.

He even immediately said that he wanted to call the four people who were in seclusion over immediately, but was stopped by Mo Juren.

"Mo still has some things to deal with, so I can't accept the task right away. Please wait a few more days. Once everything is done, it won't be too late for us to meet again." Mo Juren said with a smile.

"This... is also good..." Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man nodded immediately.

Just as he was about to say something else, his expression suddenly changed and he looked towards the door.

The others were no exception. They saw the door slowly open and two beautiful women walked in hand in hand. (End of this chapter)
