Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

The huge silver-white ship was flying away rapidly. Mo Juren came to the deck alone, looking at the bright night sky, feeling filled with emotion.

This mission was full of twists and turns, with accidents happening again and again. Even though he was determined, he was still nervous.

It was really because the enemies he encountered were too powerful, and some were at the Void Refinement level. If he did not have strength and means far beyond those of his peers, he would have died long ago!

Fortunately, everything is over now. Not only was the mission completed successfully, but I also gained a lot. The final result was good.

This was his first contact with the wilderness, and it made him realize how terrifying it was. There were no rules at all, danger was everywhere, and any accident could happen at any time.

No wonder so many Tianyuan Guards usually prefer to take on ordinary patrol missions rather than venture deep into the wilderness. Although the rewards are great, the danger is even greater, and the slightest mistake will lead to eternal damnation.

You must know that when accepting the mission before, the white-haired old man deliberately made a safer choice. At least the Ten Thousand Poison Valley is not too far away and is still within the deterrent radiation range of the human and demon races.

If it were to be more important tasks that required going deep into the wilderness or even infiltrating into the sphere of influence of alien races, the degree of danger would be unimaginable.

At that time, the enemies encountered are not just those in the Refinement Realm, it is normal to also be in the Fusion Realm.

"After all, my strength is not enough!" Mo Juren sighed and made a decision in his heart. He would seriously go into seclusion for a while when he returned this time. If it was not necessary, he would not accept this special mission for the time being.

Of course, according to the regulations of Tianyuan City, after completing this mission, you will not need to accept any more tasks for a long time and can arrange your own schedule.

He collected his confused thoughts, then raised his arm and subconsciously touched the wolf tooth pendant on his chest.

According to Senior Zi, after such a long time, there should be very few people who can recognize the existence of this object, which is why he has been wearing it with confidence.

But I never thought that I would be recognized so quickly. Fortunately, he was my friend. If he was my enemy, I would be completely finished.

After careful consideration, I decided that I could no longer wear this item. When I returned to Tianyuan City and completed the mission, I could directly receive a Dust-Mieting Pill. After taking the pill, I would immediately put it away.

"Why did you come out alone?" Just as he was thinking, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears, which startled Mo Juren. He immediately turned around and saluted respectfully.

"Please forgive me, senior. I was a little upset just now, so I came out alone to relax."

"Do you think you are not strong enough?" The man in the Confucian robe couldn't help but laugh.

"It's a good idea to have such an idea, but you can't act too hastily. Besides, don't you know what's going on with you? If you still think it's not enough, how will those beings of the same level feel?"

"This..." Hearing such a sharp evaluation from the other party, Mo Juren could only smile awkwardly, not knowing how to respond. After all, there were some things he could not explain, so it was better to say less.

"No more to say!" The man in the Confucian robe smiled again and continued,

"In fact, it's not wrong for you to be so anxious. With your current strength, although you are much stronger than those of the same level, it is still not enough in the entire Fengyuan Continent. Especially when entering the wilderness and dealing with various alien races, the strength required is even higher. Even if you are in the realm of refining emptiness, you may die at any time."

"Senior, what you said is absolutely right." Mo Juren nodded in agreement.

"Speaking of alien races, I remembered one thing. It seems that the Shadow Clan came here with some important plans."

"You even know this, it seems you have already made up your mind." The man in the Confucian robe nodded slightly, and his expression became serious.

"Don't worry, I already knew about this matter. Besides, those Shadow Clan members are not dead, they were just captured by me. I will deal with them when I return."

"So that's how it is. I was worrying too much!" Mo Juren was just giving a reminder. Since the other party already knew what was going on, he naturally didn't bother to say anything more.

At this moment, the man in the Confucian robe suddenly flipped his hand and took out a token, which was about the size of a palm and light golden in color. One side was covered with fine runes, and the other side was engraved with two simple and simple characters, "Wenshan".

"This is the token of Wenshan Academy. Take it. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me with it."

"Wenshan Academy!" Mo Juren was shocked when he heard the name. This academy was so famous that almost everyone knew it.

As everyone knows, the largest Confucian and Taoist sect in Fengyuan Continent is Jiusheng Palace, and Wenshan Academy is one of the academies directly under Jiusheng Palace. Students in the academy go through layers of selection, and those who pass can directly enter the main sect.

It was beyond his expectation that the person in front of him was from Wenshan Academy.

The reason is very simple. The Nine Saints Palace is a purely human force, and the other party should undoubtedly belong to the demon race. How could they enter this sect?

A being at the fusion level naturally cannot be an ordinary person, he must be at least at the elder level, right?

In the spiritual world, it is true that humans and demons have a relationship of mutual advancement and retreat, but there are still boundaries between the two sides, and it is absolutely impossible for one to hold an important position in the other's forces.

At this moment, Mo Juren became even more curious about the identity of the person in front of him!

A trace of doubt suddenly arose in his heart. Could it be that his previous guess was wrong and the other party was not a demon? Then what about the golden scales on his forehead?

Besides, the other party is the friend of Senior Zi. If he is not a demon, their lifespans would not match!

In a split second, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but his expression remained unchanged and he did not ask anything.

"Thank you very much, senior!" Mo Juren did not hesitate to take the token and bowed respectfully again with a grateful look on his face.

The previous matter regarding the Wan Du Ling Wine was already a great favor, and now he was given such a precious token again and made a promise, which really made him flattered.

Before this, the two parties had no relationship at all. Even now, they didn't know each other's true identity or name.

The reason why he is so 'caring' is naturally not because of him, but most likely because of that Senior Zi. It can be seen that the relationship between the two parties is not ordinary deep!

……

Compared to the White Dragon Boat, the silver-white flying boat of the man in Confucian robe is naturally of a higher grade, especially its flying speed, which is more than twice as fast, and this is not the fastest situation.

Therefore, in less than five days, everyone had returned to Tianyuan City.

The man in the Confucian robe obviously had important things to do, so after giving a few instructions, he said goodbye and left, heading straight for somewhere in the city.

As for Mo Juren and his group, they went straight back to the team's base.

The harvest from this trip was not small. It was impossible to keep so many high-level poisonous beast materials in hand. They needed to be sold and eventually exchanged for spirit stones, so that it would be convenient for everyone to distribute the profits.

There are also tasks to be completed, which also need to be handed over to Dan Tang in exchange for sufficient merit points.

In short, there are still a lot of things to do, but they need to be discussed in advance.

"Let Brother Lu be in charge of the sale of the poisonous beast materials. He has a close relationship with the leader of the Tianyue Merchant Alliance, so he can naturally sell them for a good price..."

"As for the delivery task, no one else can do it. Only the captain is qualified, so you need to go there in person..." "..."

The white-haired old man was obviously often in charge of this matter and was very familiar with it. When the other team members around heard this, their expressions remained unchanged and they obviously agreed.

Mo Juren didn't care about this. If someone else worried about these things, it would save him the trouble. But he was concerned about another matter.

"Where can I redeem my merits?"

"It's in the 'Guanghua Palace' in the east of the city. Captain, do you want to directly exchange your merit points for something?" The white-haired old man asked with a change of expression.

"That's indeed my plan. What's the problem?" Mo Juren instantly heard the hidden meaning in the other party's words.

"That depends on what you need in exchange!" The white-haired old man nodded and began to explain.

"If you need to exchange for cultivation resources, such as materials, elixirs, etc., you can go directly to the market. It is the most suitable place. Not only is there a wide variety of things, but the prices are also relatively cheap.

However, the situation in 'Guanghua Hall' is completely different. Although there are also a lot of resources there, they are much more expensive and can only be exchanged for merit points, which is not worth it.

Unless there is a last resort, such as some rare items that cannot be found in the market or even anywhere else, and only Guanghua Palace has them, then people will use merit points..."

"Of course I understand all this, but what I need to exchange is the 'Dust-Extinguishing Pill'. I'm afraid this item is not available anywhere else?"

"Dust-killing Pill!" Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. That was something only the ascended monks needed. No one else needed it.

So the captain is actually an ascended monk?

Although we have known each other for quite some time, the captain has never given a detailed introduction to his background, and the little he occasionally reveals is ambiguous, so everyone only has a vague understanding of it.

No wonder, the captain seemed to know very little about many common sense of the spiritual world. So this was the reason.

In addition, although he has only the cultivation level of the initial stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, he possesses such powerful strength, which is also quite consistent with the situation of an ascender. However, there is still a difference.

The captain's strength seems to be even stronger, even ridiculously strong. At least the other ascenders are far from comparable to him.

For a moment, everyone was extremely curious, but fortunately, everyone was not stupid and knew that these involved privacy, so it was better not to explore them.

The white-haired old man smiled and said:

“Captain, you don’t know that the Dust-Extinguishing Pill is too special. Apart from issuing one pill per year as per regulations, it is not allowed to be exchanged under normal circumstances, even for merit.

Of course, if we can receive some important tasks issued by the Elders Council, it may take a long time and we may not be able to receive them in time, so it is possible to distribute more Dust-Extinguishing Pills in advance."

"Is that so..." Mo Juren was slightly surprised. He had overlooked this matter before. It seemed that the idea of ​​spending his merits to exchange for some Dust-Murdering Pills in advance was not feasible. He could only collect them on time every year.

This is not a problem, it just requires a little more effort, or you can just take on an important task someday in the future.

“Although it cannot be exchanged for the Dust-Extinguishing Pill, the merits still play a significant role. For example, every once in a while, an elder in the Fusion Realm will give a lecture, covering the Dao of Alchemy, Talismans, and Formations.

By spending merit, one can obtain the qualification to listen to the teachings, and with the guidance of a strong person in the fusion realm, it will be of great benefit to one's own cultivation."

"How much is the price for each sermon? Are the merits earned from this mission sufficient?" Mo Juren asked again.

"Of course it is enough. After all, this time we completed a special mission, and the merits we can get are not a small number, far beyond those ordinary patrol missions.

In addition, it is not just for preaching, there are many other places where merits can be used, such as some special training places, etc., which are not eligible to be used no matter how much spirit stones are spent..."

The white-haired old man understood the other party's situation and then explained it in detail.

Mo Juren didn't know much about this information originally, but after listening to the explanation, he gained a lot.

After the discussion, everyone began to prepare. First, all the poisonous beast materials were handed over to Lushan to be dealt with by him. The most precious "Ten Thousand Poisons Spirit Wine" was naturally not included.

Everyone was very self-aware about this matter and knew that it was not something they could covet.

Moreover, the fact that this mission could be successfully completed and that so many gains were made was ultimately due to the captain. Whether it was the strong men of the Wood Clan encountered along the way, or the wanton hunting of high-level poisonous beasts in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, it would have been absolutely impossible for them to do it on their own, especially when facing the strong men of the Wood Clan. If it hadn't been for the captain to turn the tide, I'm afraid no one would have survived.

Therefore, everyone is only grateful to their captain, and naturally will not expect things that they should not have.

Mo Juren also did not mention this matter. After handing all the materials to Lu Shan, he left the residence directly with the white-haired old man and went straight to the Dan Hall.

……

At the same time, inside a magnificent palace somewhere in Tianyuan City, dozens of figures were sitting opposite each other around an oval long table. Among them were humans and monsters, but at this moment they all looked solemn.

Sitting on one of the seats was a man in a Confucian robe. He did not say anything at this moment, but waited patiently for something.

"Everyone knows about this. What do you think?" At this moment, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe sitting at the head seat finally spoke first and broke the silence.

"This matter cannot be rushed. We need to think about it carefully. We might as well send a spy to infiltrate and investigate. It won't be too late to take action after we get a definite answer..."

"That's true, but the Shadow Clan's situation is special. Who can take on the important task?"

"This……"

After hearing this, everyone fell silent!

As a foreign race, the Shadow Clan is indeed more different and not easy to disguise, let alone sneak into and ambush.

"I thought of someone who might be able to do it." Suddenly, one of the middle-aged women thought of something and spoke.

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Fellow Daoist Xun, why don't you speak frankly? Who are you referring to?" The man in brocade robes at the head asked hastily. The woman did not hesitate and said with a half-smile,

"Do you all still remember the eldest disciple of Fellow Daoist Lei Luo?"

"It's him..." (End of this chapter)
