Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Xiaoqing dived into the spiritual spring and returned after about a quarter of an hour, but there was a complexity in her eyes.

"What's the matter? Is there a problem?" Mo Juren looked slightly surprised.

"There is no problem. This place is pretty good. The only pity is that this is just the end of a top-grade spiritual vein. Although it is not bad, it is far from comparable to the source." Xiaoqing replied helplessly.

"The end is good, but I am not qualified to occupy the source right now." Mo Juren laughed and continued,

"Let's talk business. I have already bought the formation. It is a pure earth-attributed formation. I plan to set it up next. Do you have any suggestions?"

"I have just surveyed the geography of the surrounding area, and I can combine it with the layout of the formation to achieve the most perfect effect."

"In this case, we need to study it carefully first...", Mo Juren said as he took out the 'Earth-Intercepting Nine Palaces Formation' and began to study it carefully with Xiaoqing.

……

At the same time, somewhere in mid-air.

Xiao Yunhuang, who had just "fled", was now holding a communication token in his hand, waiting for something. Soon the token glowed faintly, and a message was transmitted to his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Zihua Mountain, Binghuo Valley, how did they go to where?" After reading the information, she couldn't help but frown slightly, but she didn't delay and flew quickly towards a certain direction.

About half an hour later, she had arrived above the Ice and Fire Valley. Before she could start shouting, another beautiful figure rose into the sky and appeared in front of her in a blink of an eye.

"Girl, haven't you been in seclusion in the family before? Why did you suddenly come here?" It was the woman named Xiao who came. Seeing Xiao Yunhuang at this moment, she couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"I just came out of seclusion not long ago, and I missed my seventh sister very much, so I planned to come and visit her. Besides, isn't the big auction about to start..." Xiao Yunhuang explained, but there was inevitably a hint of grievance in her tone.

This confused the woman surnamed Xiao. It didn't seem strange that he came to visit her and participated in the auction. Why was he feeling wronged?

With a thought in his mind, he asked tentatively:

"But what happened?"

"No...no..." Xiao Yunhuang shook her head quickly and continued,

"It's just that you, Seventh Sister, actually changed your cave without informing me in advance, causing me to make a wasted trip."

"Just because of such a small matter?" The woman surnamed Xiao was stunned, and then she tapped the other person's forehead.

"You are such a heartless girl. I just walked a few more steps, and you are feeling wronged?"

"No way..." Xiao Yunhuang felt extremely aggrieved. It was not as simple as just taking a few more steps. She had suffered a huge loss. Unfortunately, she could not express her pain and could not say anything.

She didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, so she changed the subject.

"After Seventh Sister left, that cave has a new owner. I saw him just now."

"Someone showed up so soon!" The woman surnamed Xiao was also a little surprised.

"But which Void Refining Realm senior? Did you offend him?"

"He is not at the Refining Void Realm, but at the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and he is only at the initial stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. However, this person is very strange. Although his cultivation is only at the initial stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, his strength is extremely terrifying. I am afraid that even you, Seventh Sister, are no match for him."

"Incarnation Realm, still in the early stage! But his strength is even stronger than mine, are you sure you are not kidding?"

"Of course not. I fought with him before, but I was defeated in one move!"

Thinking of the previous fight with Mo Juren, Xiao Yunhuang's heart instinctively shuddered, but when she heard this, the woman surnamed Xiao frowned instantly:

"You fought with him, why?"

"It's just a misunderstanding, it's nothing..." Xiao Yunhuang immediately realized that she had let the cat out of the bag in her excitement. As for other more sensitive things, she would never mention them.

"Is it really a misunderstanding?" The woman surnamed Xiao always felt something was wrong and asked again. The former shook his head repeatedly.

"It was really a misunderstanding. I thought the other party wanted to occupy your cave, Seventh Sister, so I fought with him. Fortunately, everything was explained clearly later."

"That's good." The woman surnamed Xiao nodded, and then said meaningfully,

"With the strength and status of our Xiao family, if anyone dares to bully us easily, we will never forgive them and will make them pay the price. Of course, we cannot bully others by taking advantage of our power..."

"Okay, Seventh Sister, I know all this, it's really a misunderstanding!" Xiao Yunhuang quickly interrupted her sister when she heard that she was about to start a "long speech".

"It's good that you know what's going on." The woman surnamed Xiao did not continue, and immediately changed the subject.

"This is not the place to talk. Please follow me into the mansion and have a chat."

"Oh……"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two women flew straight into the valley.

After passing through a curtain of light, they quickly entered the Ice and Fire Valley. In an instant, two energies mixed with extreme cold and extreme heat swept over.

"The cave was so nice before. Why did Seventh Sister suddenly change her mind and choose a place with such a harsh environment?" Xiao Yunhuang asked as she followed her slowly forward.

"It's a long story. Not long ago, I got a chance to obtain an ancient secret technique, which has extremely special requirements for the practice environment..." The woman surnamed Xiao did not hide anything and explained the situation in detail.

"I see." Xiao Yunhuang nodded, and suddenly thought of something, and asked again,

"I remember that my sister sent me a message half a year ago, saying that she had discovered traces of a secret place in the wilderness. But is it related to this secret method?"

"You're not stupid. You thought of it so quickly." The woman surnamed Xiao nodded slightly, and her expression became solemn.

"That secret realm is not simple. There were three of us traveling with me at the time. We entered the secret realm together, but in the end, I was the only one who was not in trouble and even gained something. The others have all disappeared without a trace and are likely to have died in it. The reason why I was fine is because I only moved around in the outer area and didn't really go deep. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have met the same fate."

"So dangerous!" Xiao Yunhuang was shocked and said quickly,

"Have you informed the family, especially my aunt, about this?"

"Of course she did, and if nothing unexpected happened, she should have gone over to investigate long ago. I have no idea what the final result was." The woman surnamed Xiao shook her head slightly.

"Okay, let's not talk about these. Speaking of secret realms, it seems that the 'Canggu Secret Realm' is about to begin, right? This secret realm is jointly managed by the seven ancient clans like us. At that time, the juniors of each family who are qualified to enter can bring an external aid of the same realm. Are you ready?"

"There are still thirty years left, there's no rush." ​​Xiao Yunhuang's eyes flickered slightly, and then she said indifferently.

"For cultivators like us, thirty years is just a blink of an eye. How can we not be anxious? The last time the secret realm was opened, seven of us sisters had already entered it. It was because of this that we gained a huge benefit, but it also meant that we had lost the qualification to enter.

Now there are only you and Xiaojiu left. Both of you have just broken through to the early stage of the Spirit Transformation not long ago. The gap in strength is too big and you are no match for the other family disciples at all.

These are fine, the key is the 'Cangshen Tower', the opportunities inside are the most important, but you need to pass the test of the spirit of the tower. Given your actual situation, you can only rely on external help. It is said that Xiaojiu has already found a target, but why is there no news about you?"

"Okay, Seventh Sister, don't worry. I will handle this matter properly and promise not to let you down." Xiao Yunhuang giggled, not looking worried at all.

This made the former feel helpless, and in the end he could only sigh:

"I have said everything I should say. You can decide for yourself. Just don't regret it later."

"I don't regret it!"

"Ok?"

"Nothing, I mean we must find an absolutely strong foreign aid, and then we will open your eyes."

"hope so!"

……

Mo Juren spent the next two days setting up the formation, which of course also included the renovation of the entire cave.

Although he himself also didn't care much about external things, he would not be as frugal as the woman named Xiao. Besides, if nothing unexpected happened, he would probably live here for a long time, so he couldn't make do with anything too casual.

Of course, most of the time was spent on the arrangement of the formation, which also received help from Xiaoqing. Although the other party was not proficient in formations, he could rely on his own talent to sense whether the arrangement of the formation was combined with the earth veins, so as to achieve the most perfect level.

To be honest, this kind of formation arrangement was the first time Mo Juren had experienced it, and it really opened his eyes. Compared with ordinary methods, the power was significantly improved.

The entire formation is not only integrated with the earth veins, but also completely integrated with the surrounding environment, thus producing an effect where one plus one is greater than two.

"Don't be happy too soon. This method of setting up an array that combines with the earth veins has its drawbacks." Xiaoqing suddenly reminded someone somewhere in mid-air outside the cave.

"What do you mean?" Mo Juren frowned. The other party had never mentioned this before.

"It can't be considered a disadvantage." Xiao Qing paused and continued,

"The fusion between the formation and the ground veins can indeed greatly enhance the power, but it is also because the fusion is too deep that both sides will prosper and suffer together. If the formation is broken one day, the ground veins nearby will be completely destroyed."

"Is that so?" Mo Juren suddenly realized, and then smiled slightly.

"If that time really comes, the formation will be broken and the situation will be critical. In that case, will we still care whether the ground veins will be destroyed?"

"That's true!" Xiao Qing nodded slightly and stopped talking. However, Mo Juren suddenly became serious.

"The formation has been set up, and it's time for me to leave. You will stay in the cave. There are many powerful people in the Void Refining Realm in Tianhe Mountain, so you must not be careless."

"Don't worry, it's okay." Xiao Qing smiled and gave an explanation.

"As the spirit of the earth veins, I can completely merge with the earth veins. Unless I deliberately reveal my aura, it will be extremely difficult for even a strong person in the fusion realm to detect me."

"You have such ability? Then how did you get caught in the past?" Mo Juren looked slightly surprised.

"Of course I was exposed accidentally!" Xiao Qing was filled with depression when talking about the past. At that time, he had just cultivated a spiritual body and in the excitement he forgot to hide. As a result, he was directly discovered by the great elder of the Qihuang Sect.

Not only did he work hard for the Qihuang Sect for tens of thousands of years afterwards, but in the end he was sacrificed as cannon fodder. Such a fate was simply horrible.

"Let the past go. I can promise that I will never abandon you in the future." Mo Juren noticed the other party's loss and then whispered a word of comfort. Unexpectedly, Xiaoqing rolled her eyes when she heard this.

"At the beginning, the old man from Qihuang Sect said better things than you, but when it came to the critical moment, he still abandoned me without hesitation. Would you be an exception? Anyway, I don't believe that if you really encounter a life-and-death crisis, you will make the opposite choice."

After saying this, without waiting for Mo Juren to answer, he turned into a green rainbow light and sank into the ground, disappearing instantly.

"Uh..." Mo Juren didn't expect that his kind words of comfort would not be rewarded with a touch of emotion, but instead he was directly scolded. It seemed that the past experience had caused a huge psychological trauma to the other party, which was not so easy to eliminate.

He didn't have a good solution for this kind of thing, he could only take a long-term view. Perhaps as time went by, and as he got along with himself more slowly, he would recover one day.

Looking up at the sky, he did not delay any longer and immediately flew out of the formation and then headed straight towards Tianyuan City.

What he didn't know was that after he left, Xiao Qing had reappeared, looking in the direction of Tianyuan City and muttering to herself, "Let's just believe it this time, but then again, what can I do even if I don't believe it? Do I have any choice?"

……

An hour later, Mo Juren had returned to Tianyuan City again, and then came to the giant tower and met up with the team members.

Compared to last time, everyone was present today. After some greetings, the other four people also introduced themselves.

"Now that we are all here, the next step is to accept missions. There are two choices: either complete the fixed rotation mission, or accept the special mission issued by the Elders' Council. What do you think?"

"Rotational missions are safer, but the rewards are too little, and the rewards given to each person are dispensable, especially for Team A like us. It's not worth the trip at all."

"That's true. There are also differences in special missions. You don't necessarily have to choose the most difficult one. You can decide based on the circumstances."

"Most ordinary teams choose the latter for rotation missions, while elite teams like us usually choose the latter. Sometimes, our superiors will even force us to do it."

"..."

Everyone was talking about it, but they were surprisingly unanimous in their opinions and all planned to give it a try.

Of course, Jiao Wan'er and another cultivator named Hu Yan, both of whom were only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, were naturally not qualified to express their opinions.

"Since everyone thinks this way, then this matter has been settled. However, the grand auction will be held in more than two months, so you need to take this into consideration when choosing tasks, so as not to miss it." Mo Juren made the decision immediately, and everyone smiled at once.

As the captain, he is naturally the backbone of the team. If he is too timid, let alone eating meat, he can't even drink soup. Fortunately, our captain is not like that.

"Don't worry, Captain. We don't want to miss this grand event either. It happens that I have already copied down the task information issued by the Elder Council recently, and one of them is very suitable." The white-haired old man said as he handed over a milky white jade slip.

"Really? Then I'll have to take a closer look at what the mission is." Mo Juren laughed and took the jade slip and started to read it. (End of this chapter)
