Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 1119 Disadvantages and the Last Lot

"Senior Tu, please stop keeping us in suspense and tell us what is so special about this mask?"

"Yes, it can be put at the end of the auction as the final treasure. It can't be just a disguise mask. It must have other functions, right?"

"..."

Voices came from all the stone houses, and it was obvious that no one believed the red-haired old man's introduction. However, after hearing this, the latter shook his head slightly.

"My fellow Taoists, you are overthinking. What I just said is not a lie. This is indeed just a mask for disguise, but..."

"Is it really just a disguise mask?"

"That's impossible. What does "but" mean?"

"I say, Old Man Tu, when did you become so hateful? You have to beat around the bush. Can't you just finish your words in one breath?"

"..."

At this moment, those beings in the Void Refinement Realm were also somewhat "angered", and they all began to "denounce" in dissatisfaction.

In response, the red-haired old man just laughed and was not frightened at all.

An auction is meant to arouse everyone's curiosity. This is a necessary process. As for 'anger', that's not the case. No one will really get angry over such a small matter.

"Fellow Daoists, calm down. This is undoubtedly a disguise mask. The difference is that its grade is quite high. It is so high that even a strong person in the Fusion Realm would find it difficult to detect it after wearing it."

Having whetted people’s appetite, the red-haired old man stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the most important point.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, the entire venue fell silent in an instant.

A disguise mask that even a fusion-level expert couldn't decipher, was he really kidding? If that was true, then its value was enormous.

This thing may not be used normally, but once used, it can save lives.

The path of cultivation is very difficult, and you may encounter life-and-death crises at any time and place, such as encountering a strong enemy, etc. With this thing to change your appearance and breath, the danger will be greatly reduced.

Life and death are not trivial matters, and the value of such treasures is immeasurable.

Everyone present, whether they were in the Spirit Transformation Stage or the Void Refinement Stage, all felt their hearts burning with excitement again.

At the same time, in a certain stone house, Mo Juren was no exception. This thing was really very useful, especially for someone like him who liked to act cautiously.

He made the decision almost instantly. He must get the five-color mask later. As for the price, he thought it shouldn't be too outrageous as long as nothing unexpected happened.

“The origin of this five-color mask is very special. It did not come from the Ten Thousand Fire Abyss, but from another ancient secret realm. It was also one of the finale treasures originally prepared for the auction.

The materials used are extremely mysterious, and even several top weapon-refining masters in Tianyuan City are confused.

As for its effectiveness in changing appearance and aura, His Majesty the Holy Emperor personally tested it. Even for him, if he didn’t deliberately investigate, it would still be difficult to detect it..."

The red-haired old man continued to introduce the situation of the five-colored mask, but as soon as these words came out, the hearts of the people present became even more excited.

I thought the limit was the initial stage of fusion, but I didn't expect it to be far more than that. His Majesty the Saint Emperor is at such a high level, and he can be concealed. Then, shouldn't the value of this mask be even higher?

Of course, the red-haired old man also said that it would be difficult to detect if His Majesty the Holy Emperor did not deliberately investigate, which also means that it cannot be truly concealed from the other party, but even so, it is still incredible.

After hearing this, almost everyone was eager to try, except Mo Juren, who frowned slightly at this moment.

Naturally, the higher the level of this five-color mask, the better, but at the same time, the price will inevitably rise. It seems that this time we will have to spend a lot of money.

Different from the 'Mid-grade Realm Breakthrough Pill' just now, he was more interested in this item, so even if it cost a lot, he had to buy it.

"My fellow Taoists, don't be too happy too soon. This five-color mask is indeed powerful in changing one's appearance and aura, but it also has its drawbacks..."

At this point, the red-haired old man suddenly sighed, which made everyone present curse in their hearts. This old guy has really learned bad things and there is even a reversal!

"Brother Tu, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us what the disadvantages are." A deep voice sounded again, with a bit of silence in the tone.

"I haven't seen you for many years, Brother Xue is still so impatient." The red-haired old man shook his head slightly, his expression suddenly became unusually serious, and continued,

"As for the disadvantages of this five-color mask, it is a bit strange to say that this treasure contains some strange demonic nature, which can infect the user's soul. It is okay to use it for a short period of time, but once it is used for a long time, one's consciousness is likely to be affected.

As for what the impact is, it is not clear. After all, even the organizer has only had the mask for a short time, and even His Majesty the Holy Emperor cannot see the truth. But it is certain that it will not be a good direction.

But then again, these treasures are usually used in emergencies, and no one wears them all the time, so the so-called disadvantages can actually be ignored. "

After hearing this, everyone present had their own thoughts.

In theory, it is true. After all, who would wear a mask every day unless it is a critical moment? As long as it can save lives at critical moments, it is fine.

But nothing is absolute, especially when it comes to things that even His Majesty the Holy Emperor cannot figure out, who can guarantee that it is foolproof?

The value of this five-colored mask is self-evident. It is definitely a good thing, but when it comes to one's own soul and consciousness, no one dares to be careless.

In a stone house somewhere, Mo Juren also had a look of astonishment on his face.

I had thought that I might have a heavy bleeding, but I never expected that the situation would change so quickly.

This thing actually has drawbacks and contains some strange magic. Long-term use may have a bad impact on one's own consciousness. It is really unexpected.

This matter has been endorsed by Saint Emperor Tianyuan, so it should be true.

The value of this five-color mask is not a problem, especially at certain critical moments, it is a good thing that can definitely save lives, but because of this drawback, the price will probably be greatly discounted later.

This is naturally the best thing for him. As for the so-called evil nature, with the evil-breaking divine light, it should have no effect.

Of course, these are just guesses. We will know the exact results only after trying them. But if he gives up just because of this flaw, that is also impossible.

"Okay, I have said everything I need to say without reservation. As for whether or not to participate in the auction, fellow Taoists, please consider it carefully. There is no need to force it.

The starting price is also set at 10 million spirit stones, and each bid increase must not be less than 1 million. Fellow Taoists who are interested can start bidding..."

"I'll offer 11 million..."

"Twelve million..."

"Thirteen million..." "..."

The moment the auction started, bidding sounds rang out again.

However, compared to the excitement of the previous auction of the 'Mid-grade Breakthrough Pill', there were obviously fewer people this time, with only a small number of people participating, and the price increase rate was far less than the previous one.

From this, it can be seen that the disadvantages that the red-haired old man just revealed do have a great impact, and some monks who originally planned to bid are inevitably still hesitant.

The red-haired old man and even the organizers had already anticipated this situation.

But there is no way. Business has its own rules, and integrity is the foundation of doing business. You can't just hide the problem when you know it exists, right?

If that were the case, once it was discovered later, his reputation would be completely ruined, and the losses he would suffer would be even greater.

As time passed, the price of the five-color mask continued to rise. Although the speed was not as fast as before, it was still increasing. It reached 50 million without anyone noticing.

This price is not low, it has already caught up with the first item. It can be seen that even if there are drawbacks, there are still people willing to pay for it.

If you think about it carefully, the reason is actually not complicated. After all, it is something that can save your life at a critical moment, so no matter how big the disadvantages are, they are acceptable.

After all, compared with life, some disadvantages are not that important.

However, when it reached 50 million, the price increased even more slowly, and finally stopped completely when it reached 55 million.

"This fellow Taoist has offered 55 million. Is there anyone else interested?" On the high platform, the red-haired old man was not very satisfied with the price, but he was not too depressed and continued to ask.

"Fifty-five million at a time..."

"Fifty-five million twice, no one has made a bid yet..." After looking around again, the red-haired old man couldn't help but sigh and was about to announce the result.

However, at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded, interrupting it in time.

"Fifty-six million..."

"what……"

In an instant, not only the red-haired old man, but almost everyone present showed surprise.

Everyone is familiar with this voice. The only thing they are curious about is that this person actually made a move again, which immediately aroused everyone's interest. They wonder if there will be anyone who will compete with him next?

Mo Juren was actually a little nervous at this time. After all, a competitor suddenly showed up last time, causing his plan to bid for the "Mid-grade Breakthrough Pill" to fail completely.

And for some reason, he always felt that the other party was targeting him. If he continued to make trouble, not to mention the five-color mask, he would not be able to get the next two items.

Fortunately, after he shouted out 56 million spirit stones, the voice did not sound again, which immediately made him feel relieved.

From this, it can be concluded that what happened before was just a coincidence and the other party was not targeting him specifically.

In another stone house, the handsome young man smiled slightly, drank tea slowly, and muttered to himself:

"This guy is really cautious. He wants to take a picture of this five-color mask. Is it to guard against me in the future? If it was earlier, he would have succeeded. But unfortunately, it's useless to do this now."

At the same time, the red-haired old man on the platform outside asked again, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no response, which showed that no one was willing to continue competing.

Seeing this scene, he could only announce the final result.

The transaction went smoothly. The maid quickly got the spirit stone and returned to the auction table. The red-haired old man also began to display the fourth item again.

Surprisingly, the fourth item was another elixir named Wanshou Pill, which was a top-level longevity elixir that could directly increase one’s lifespan by nearly a thousand years.

For some beings whose life span is about to end, the value of this medicine is above all else. Even if they still have a long time to live, they can still buy this medicine as a backup.

A lifespan of nearly a thousand years means too many possibilities.

For a moment, a fierce competition broke out again in the venue.

In contrast, Mo Juren had no interest in this at all. Instead, he focused all his attention on the five-color mask he had just obtained.

What surprised him was that after a simple investigation, he didn't feel anything unusual.

"Does it require sacrifice and refining?" Mo Juren guessed in his heart, but it was obviously not the right time now. He could only wait until the auction was over and return to the cave to try again.

Thinking of this, he immediately put away the five-colored mask, and then sipped tea while watching the situation outside.

It has to be said that lifespan is extremely important for any cultivator. Even if it is not urgently needed, it does not prevent one from participating in the competition.

Especially since the Longevity Pill could actually increase one’s lifespan by nearly a thousand years, one could imagine its value. It didn’t take long for the price to climb to an extremely high number again.

Looking at the crazy situation outside, Mo Juren's heart suddenly sank, and he subconsciously thought of his several mortal wives and daughters.

I wonder how they are doing now? Although they have merged their bloodlines many times in the lower world, their life spans have been greatly increased, but they are not infinite.

Yuzhu and Caihuan are fine, as the two women have already obtained spiritual roots, but the same cannot be said for the others. Although there is no problem for the time being, over time, their lifespans will eventually run out.

If he could always be by his side, this wouldn't be a problem, but right now there's no news from him. How can he not be anxious?

Tianhua Tower must be opened as soon as possible and its reputation must be made known. If they were still in Fengyuan Continent, they would definitely know about it.

But if he doesn't come to reunite for a long time, then there is only one possibility, that is, he is not in Fengyuan Continent at all. Then I can only try my luck in other continents.

It wasn't a big deal. After all, it was the same no matter where you practiced. Besides, there were more opportunities in other continents. The only thing that worried him was how to get there.

This kind of ultra-long-distance teleportation array certainly exists, but it is extremely difficult to use. At least in his current situation, it is almost impossible.

"We can only take it one step at a time!" Mo Juren withdrew his thoughts and couldn't help but sigh. After all, he was still too weak at the moment and could not do anything. He could only lie dormant for the time being.

Just as he was thinking about this, the auction of the 'Wanshou Pill' outside finally ended.

After the transaction was completed, the red-haired old man didn't waste any time and directly took out the fifth treasure, which was also the last item of the auction.

Being placed last shows that this treasure is definitely the most valuable of all the items auctioned today.

There was an ancient scroll placed on the tray in front of the maid, and as the red-haired old man slowly opened it, a mysterious starry sky pattern was revealed.
