Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

"Miss Min, what are you doing..." Mo Juren walked closer and asked without changing his expression.

"I'm here to apologize to you, senior. Just yesterday, a strange person suddenly visited Yuanming Tower and bought a large number of spiritual medicines at one time, including the ones you need..." Min Xiner sighed helplessly.

"How could such a thing happen?" Mo Juren was stunned. It was such a coincidence that someone got there first just when he was about to buy the elixir.

"How much more can you gather?"

"About half, but please rest assured, Senior, we are at fault for this matter, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation. As for the remaining half, including the 'Millennium Floating Element Grass', I promise to collect it all within three months."

"Miss Min has said so, so naturally I have no objection. Besides, there is no need to be so anxious. It won't make a difference if it's a few days earlier or later."

"Thank you for your understanding, senior. Please follow me into the building to have a chat. The half of the elixir has been gathered and can be traded directly." Hearing Mo Juren's answer, Min Xiner breathed a sigh of relief and took the initiative to invite him.

"Okay!" Mo Juren naturally had no objection. After nodding slightly, he followed the other party into the building.

The transaction went smoothly, and because of the previous mistake, Min Xiner made a big enough concession on the price of the elixir and guaranteed that the remaining half would definitely be the most favorable.

This is naturally the best thing that could happen. Although he has made a lot of money now and has no shortage of spirit stones for the time being, he would not refuse to spend less.

I had originally thought of going to other stores to ask, but now there is no need to do that. After all, other stores would never be able to offer such a suitable price.

After the transaction was completed, he immediately said goodbye.

In the following time, he first went to Jiuxiao Pavilion to confirm the matters about the auction again, and then went to Tianyi Tower to visit the owner Cheng.

His purpose was naturally to purchase the shop. He was relieved to know that things had not changed, and asked the other party to help keep an eye on it.

After finishing all this, he left the market town and headed straight to the east of the city.

Not long after, he arrived in front of another special palace. Although it was only four stories high, it was extremely large in scale. In the middle hung a huge plaque with three large golden characters "Guanghua Palace" inscribed on it.

This is one of the most important places in Tianyuan City. Except for the special situation of Dan Hall, almost all other tasks are received and delivered, as well as the payment of benefits, the exchange of subsequent merits, etc. are all done here.

Mo Juren had wanted to come over and take a look for a long time. Firstly, he wanted to get familiar with the place since they would have to deal with each other in the future. Secondly, he wanted to receive a Dust-Murdering Pill.

This is the rule set by above. All ascended monks can receive one for free every year.

Walking into the first floor of the Guanghua Palace, what comes into view is an extremely large hall, which is densely packed with people, all of whom are high-level body cultivators wearing yellow and white armor.

These people were also Tianyuan Guards, but they were at the lowest level. The Black Iron Guards who followed him in, wearing black armor, went straight to the stairs.

"Hello, senior. How can I help you?" At this moment, a handsome young man in a green short-sleeved shirt and with a clever look in his eyes suddenly came forward and asked.

"I'm here to take care of some things, but do I need to go upstairs?" Mo Juren probably saw what was going on here, and immediately asked the other party back.

"It is just as you said, as a Qingming Guard, you need to go directly to the third floor, which is where you will be received. Please follow me."

"Good work!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Juren followed the other party up the stairs until they reached the third floor and entered a hall again.

Compared to the first floor, the space here is much smaller, but there are quite a lot of people, more than thirty in total, and they are all Qingming Guards without a doubt.

At this time, everyone was sitting in different places. From time to time, someone would stand up and walk to a place in the front, where there was a stone table. Opposite to it sat a beautiful woman in a black dress, whose cultivation had surprisingly reached the late stage of the Spirit Transformation.

At the beginning of each communication, the beautiful woman would gently wave her jade hand, and suddenly a layer of light curtain would emerge, completely covering up the situation inside. No matter what was said or done, the outside world would know nothing.

Mo Juren's arrival naturally attracted everyone's attention, but they just glanced at him and paid no more attention to him. Instead, they continued to drink tea and wait patiently.

"There are more people today, please wait for a moment, senior." The young man explained while diligently leading Mo Juren to one of the empty seats.

He also explained in detail some things that needed attention. At this time, a maid brought spiritual tea. Mo Juren was not in a hurry. He sipped the tea while waiting patiently.

After all, it is the third floor, a place specially used to receive the Qingming Guards. The spiritual tea provided there is absolutely of top grade quality. It is refreshing when you drink it and leaves a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth. It also contains a trace of pure spiritual power, which has a slight nourishing effect on the soul.

This was exactly what he wanted. While sipping the tea, a look of satisfaction unconsciously appeared on his face.

"This is the top-grade 'Yuqing Tea', which is only produced in the Tianlang Valley at the northern end of the Tianling Realm. Although it is not among the top ten famous teas, it is still very famous."

"Tianlang Valley?" Mo Juren's heart moved. If he remembered correctly, it seemed to be the border between the Tianling Realm and the Silver Moon Wolf Clan's sphere of influence.

Although it is a border, there are countless other wolf tribes living inside this valley, so in fact this place is controlled by the Silver Moon Wolf Tribe.

"What is the production volume of this tea? Can it be bought on the market? Also, what are the top ten famous teas you mentioned?" Mo Juren had nothing to do, so he simply started chatting with the other party.

“The output of Yuqing tea is quite high. It should be available in some large stores, but the price is not cheap. As for the top ten famous teas, these juniors happen to have done some research on them…” Obviously, this had touched the boy's sore spot. He became quite excited and began to explain everything in detail.

I have to say that this young man was not bragging, he really knew a lot about the knowledge related to spiritual tea. He knew not only the names, but also the origins, characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of various spiritual teas.

Mo Juren couldn't help but sigh, it's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance! The other party is so young, and his cultivation is only at the Qi Refining Stage, but he can calm down and focus on a certain aspect of research, which is very rare.

Even he benefited a lot at this moment. When he looked at the other party again, there was a bit more appreciation in his eyes.

"If my guess is correct, you should also be a tea master, right? However, these ten famous teas are too rare. The chances of them appearing on the market are very small, and they are almost impossible to buy.

Fortunately, the auction is about to begin. It only happens once every ten years. The forces of the human and demon races have already made sufficient preparations. Maybe there will be a chance. " "Then I'll borrow your good words!" Mo Juren laughed and looked at the other person for a while. Suddenly, he had an idea and raised his hand to cast a ban to seal off the nearby area.

"Can you tell me about yourself? Identity and background, etc. If it's inconvenient, I'll just ignore it."

"Ah..." Upon hearing this, the young man couldn't help but be stunned. Why did he suddenly want to know his information? Could he have some purpose?

Of course, he was only slightly surprised, and then he introduced himself without hiding anything.

"My family name is Zeng, and my given name is Lu. I don't have any special origins. I was born in a small town not far from here, and my parents are just casual cultivators..."

The young man described his own situation in detail, including his poor cultivation aptitude, and his many experiences of leaving his hometown to venture into Tianyuan City, etc.

After listening to this, Mo Juren looked at the other party with more and more satisfaction.

"Have you ever thought about changing places?" Mo Juren smiled and directly stated his purpose. After hearing this, the young Zeng Lu was even more confused.

"Change...change place? What do you mean by that, Senior?"

"It's like this. I plan to buy a store in the market soon. I just happen to be in need of a shopkeeper to take charge of all matters in the store. I wonder if you are interested? Of course, the status cannot be compared with Guanghua Palace, but the treatment will definitely not be worse."

"Shopkeeper!" Zeng Lu was stunned again and asked uncertainly.

"I am just a young cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage. Why do I deserve your attention? Why do you want me to be entrusted with such an important task? To manage a store all by myself?"

"What does business have to do with cultivation? I like you. Besides, it is not easy to work in Guanghua Palace, which shows that your ability is not bad.

As for my shop, it is just opening, so it may be smaller in scale, but my biggest advantage is that I like to delegate power, so you can do whatever you want, and the bigger the scale of development, the more rewards you will get. "Mo Juren smiled slightly and continued to "look forward to the future" for the other party.

This method was indeed very effective and the other party was completely attracted.

Working in Guanghua Palace, apart from being 'glamorous' on the surface, does not bring any additional benefits. Although the treatment you can get is not bad, it is far from enough.

Especially since he is a monk and his aptitude is only average. If he wants to achieve something in the future, he must consume more resources.

In this case, it is far from enough to just be a deacon at the lowest level in Guanghua Hall.

As for joining a certain force, that was even less of a consideration. After all, if his aptitude was not good, he would not be taken seriously no matter where he went. This was also the main reason why he came to Tianyuan City.

According to his original plan, after enduring for a few years and improving his skills, he would directly join the Tianyuan Guard and start from the lowest level of the Huangjia Guard. His income would be much higher than it is now.

But now he suddenly has the opportunity to run a store on his own. How could he not be tempted?

There is no danger in the market town, and the income is definitely not comparable to the current situation. Even the lower-level Tianyuan Guards cannot compare to it.

If he missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and nodded heavily:

"Thank you for your high regard, I will not let you down."

"Not bad!" Mo Juren nodded with satisfaction again.

Being able to take on and let go, and acting decisively without any procrastination, with such excellent qualities, it would be strange if one could not take advantage of the opportunity in the future.

"It will take some time for the store to be ready, maybe a few months. During this time, you can slowly prepare, so you don't have to rush around when the time comes." While speaking, he directly took out a communication token and handed it to the other party.

"Take this and I will contact you when the time comes."

"Then I will wait for your good news!" Zeng Lu took the token carefully and replied excitedly.

After the discussion was over, Mo Juren removed the ban. At this moment, strange looks suddenly came from all over the hall, all filled with unconcealed curiosity.

This is Guanghua Palace. It seems that no one has ever acted like this. It is really outrageous to cover it up and block everyone's perception.

This kind of thing cannot be said to be wrong, after all, there are no relevant regulations, but it is still a bit strange to do so.

Not only the people around, but also the beautiful woman in black dress in front, also had a look of surprise on their faces at this moment, and looked at Mo Juren with a strange look.

Zeng Lu was too young after all, and faced with this situation, he felt a little uneasy.

As for Mo Juren, he remained calm and composed, as if those gazes did not exist at all. He drank his tea leisurely, and was not affected at all from beginning to end.

The other monks around also felt bored and began to look away one after another. Instead, the beautiful woman in the black dress suddenly became playful with her watery eyes.

As time passed, other monks around came forward one after another, and left one after another after the matter was dealt with.

Soon it was Mo Juren's turn. He did not hesitate and stood up and strode forward. The moment he walked to the stone table and slowly sat down, the beautiful woman in black skirt waved her jade hand lightly, and the light curtain appeared again.

"This fellow Taoist looks unfamiliar, but you have just arrived in Tianyuan City? May I know your name?" The middle-aged beauty carefully looked at the other party's extremely cold face for a moment, and then took the initiative to ask.

"My name is Mo Juren, nice to meet you, fellow Taoist. I indeed just arrived here..." Mo Juren looked indifferent, and did not deliberately hide anything. He then gave a brief introduction.

He also revealed that he was the first generation ascender. As expected, the beautiful woman in the black skirt was startled at first, and then smiled and said:

"So you are a first generation ascender. Forgive my poor eyesight. So you are here to receive the Dust-Extinguishing Pill?"

"Is there any problem?" Mo Juren nodded slightly and asked again.

"Of course no problem." The beautiful woman in the black dress smiled charmingly, then flipped her jade hand and took out an exquisite jade box the size of a fist and an ordinary storage bag.

"Inside the box is the Dust-Extinguishing Pill, and inside the bag is the Spirit Stone, which is also the fixed annual reward for becoming a Tianyuan Guardian. Fellow Daoist, you can check it out." (End of this chapter)
