Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 1120: Inescapable in the 'Robbery'

"Could this be... the magical treasure of heaven?" The moment the scroll was unfolded, everyone present immediately made some guesses. After all, it was the last item to be auctioned, so it naturally could not be simple.

However, Tongtian Lingbao is still a bit too "out of the scope" after all. Will an auction of this level really appear?

Having said that, many people present were familiar with the names of many treasures on the Chaos Spirits List, and there were indeed quite a few scroll-type treasures on it.

As to whether the picture in front of us is one of them, it is unknown.

"It seems that you fellow Taoists have already guessed it. Yes, this 'Map of the Starry Universe' is indeed a magical treasure that can reach the sky, and it ranks quite high on the Chaos Myriad Spirits List."

The red-haired old man chuckled, and as expected, as soon as these words came out, exclamations of surprise rang out.

"It's actually the 70th ranked 'Starry Universe Map'! How is this possible!"

"I only knew the name of this treasure before, but never saw the real thing. I didn't expect it to look like this!"

"The stars are bright and the universe is boundless. It is indeed worthy of being a Tongtian Lingbao that ranks so high. It is indeed extraordinary!"

"The organizers of this auction are really bold. They are willing to take out such treasures. I really don't understand. Is there any hidden secret behind it?"

"..."

The crowd didn't care about anything else and started talking at once across the house.

In a room somewhere, a handsome young man also looked surprised at this moment.

There are countless treasures of all kinds in the world of cultivation, but the Tongtian Lingbao that can be listed on the Chaos Ten Thousand Spirits List is undoubtedly the best among them. It is no exaggeration to call it one in a million.

There are only a few spiritual treasures of this level in the entire spiritual world. Countless cultivators have spent their entire lives to improve their cultivation to the level of transformation of the spirit and refining the void, but they may not be able to see what a real spiritual treasure looks like.

With her status, she does have one item in her hand, but it is the only one, and it is ranked very low, far inferior to the 'Starry Universe Map' in front of her.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for such treasures to appear at an auction of this level, and only the Wanbao Conference at that time was qualified.

However, even in the last Wanbao Conference, only three Tongtian Lingbao appeared in the final stage, and their ranking was also not high.

An item of this level actually appeared at today's auction, and it was ranked 70th, the 'Map of the Starry Universe'. This is simply too incredible!

Are these human leaders crazy? Or is there something wrong with this treasure as some people say?

It has to be said that both the handsome young man and the others who raised doubts did guess correctly, and the red-haired old man's subsequent words also confirmed this.

"As expected, I cannot hide it from the discerning eyes of you fellow Taoists. This 'Map of the Starry Universe' does have some problems." The red-haired old man sighed, and there was a hint of regret in his words.

"I think everyone knows that under normal circumstances, a spiritual treasure of this level would never appear here. The reason why it was taken out is very simple, that is, this map is not complete, but only one-seventh of it."

"One seventh?" Everyone was stunned. One of them was the first to react and asked quickly,

"Brother Tu, what you mean is that this map of the starry universe is a set of treasures, with a total of seven maps, and the one in front of us is just one of them?"

"Brother Lu is right. It is indeed like this." The red-haired old man nodded and continued,

"Although it is only one of the seven pictures, and naturally cannot be compared with the complete picture, this picture can still be used alone. Moreover, the complete picture ranks so high in the Chaos Ten Thousand Spirits List, even if there is only one copy, its power is not weak at all.

The elders of Tianyuan City have all made inferences. As one of the original drawings, it is far from being comparable to the replica. Its power should be 20% of the complete one. What does this mean? You should know it clearly, right?"

"It's actually been able to reach 20%, that's really extraordinary!"

"Yes, the complete 'Starry Universe Map' ranks so high. Let alone 20%, even if it only has 10% of its power, it is enough to surpass most treasures of the same type!"

“If anyone has one of the other seven pictures and then buys this one, that would be a real profit!”

"That's true, but it's unlikely that anyone present here would do that. However, once the auction is over and the news of the 'Starry Universe Map' being released gets out, it's likely to cause some twists and turns..."

"..."

Obviously everyone was not stupid. They immediately thought of the possible situations and felt a little strange in their hearts.

"Ahem..." Hearing everyone's discussion, the red-haired old man's face suddenly changed slightly. If everyone really thought so, then the auction of this painting would be a failure. He quickly coughed a few times to interrupt,

"My fellow Taoists, please do not have any wild thoughts. The other six pieces of this Starry Universe Map have long been damaged and cannot possibly be in the hands of anyone else. I can guarantee this, so please do not have any concerns when auctioning them."

"The other six paintings have been damaged. Is that true?"

"Brother Tu, are you trying to deceive us in order to get a high price?"

"Yes, Brother Tu, do you have any evidence to support your claim? Otherwise, we won't believe your empty words."

"..."

Many cultivators in the Void Refinement Realm spoke up one after another, and it was obvious that they had doubts about what the red-haired old man had just said.

"My fellow Taoists, you have wronged me. How could I make such a statement without thinking?" The red-haired old man smiled helplessly and continued,

"The true origin of this painting comes from His Majesty the Saint Emperor. He has personally confirmed that when he accidentally obtained this painting, the remains of the other six paintings were still there, but this one was the only one that survived unscathed."

"I see!"

"Since it was confirmed by His Majesty the Saint Emperor himself, it cannot be false!"

"At least I don't have to worry about being remembered by certain people in the future..."

"..."

Hearing the change in the tone of the crowd, the red-haired old man finally breathed a sigh of relief and said without further delay:

"Fellow Daoists, please be quiet. It's getting late. Let's start the bidding for this last item now. After it's over, everyone can get busy with other things. Since this picture is incomplete, the reserve price is set at 20 million spirit stones. Each bid must not be less than 1 million. Let's begin..."

"Twenty-one million..."

"Twenty-two million..."

"Twenty-three million..."

"..."

With the endorsement of Saint Emperor Tianyuan, everyone present put aside their worries and started bidding.

This is a magical treasure ranked in the top 100. People usually don’t have the chance to see it. Although it is incomplete, it can exert 20% of its power when it is complete.

This is already extremely incredible. Since there is no need to worry about being targeted by those who possess other treasure maps in the future, there is naturally no need to worry about anything.

In a short while, the price increased rapidly. In a room somewhere, Mo Juren had a calm expression and had no intention of speaking.

Naturally, he was also interested in Tongtian Lingbao. After all, when he passed through the space node before, it was equivalent to bankruptcy for him, and almost all the wealth he had accumulated before was gone.

But even so, he still has a lot of cards in his hand. Not to mention the seven great edicts, his physical body alone is definitely not inferior to the top-level spiritual treasure.

This is similar to monsters, the physical body is the best treasure.

As for the 'Starry Universe Map' in front of him, firstly, it was at an auction and the prices were inflated; secondly, the map was not complete, so its power was naturally greatly reduced, making it useless to him.

Of course, it didn't appeal to him, but it obviously didn't to others. As time went by, the price skyrocketed.

Seeing this scene, Mo Juren couldn't help but sigh that he really underestimated these people. Even at this time, they still retained a large amount of spirit stones. Their foundation was really extraordinary.

But for now I can only envy. Only by opening the shop can I have a steady flow of spirit stones, and then I won't have to worry about spirit stones anymore.

While the auction was going on outside, he took out the five-colored mask he had won before.

Even if this treasure has not been refined, it can still be used temporarily through special secret methods, as demonstrated by the red-haired old man before, but the time cannot be too long.

Seeing that the auction was about to end, he naturally wanted to be more cautious.

Without any hesitation, he put it on directly. With a flash of five-colored light, his figure and appearance changed completely, and he became a tall and burly man.

With a wave of his hand, a water mirror condensed, and after a careful examination, he nodded with satisfaction.

Not only did his body shape and appearance change, but his own aura also completely disappeared. With his strong spiritual sense, he couldn't sense anything at all. It can be seen that the effect of this mask is truly powerful.

"It's never too late to mend, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?" After dispersing the water mirror, Mo Juren suddenly felt a little uneasy for some reason.

But that's all we can do. I just hope nothing goes wrong.

Just as he was thinking, the last bidding outside finally ended. With the official announcement by the red-haired old man, the auction finally came to an end.

At this moment, Mo Juren only felt that an invisible force suddenly appeared from the stone house, quickly wrapped around his body, and disappeared the next moment.

……

"Strange, it's been so long, why hasn't that guy come out yet?" At the entrance of Taixuan Palace, the two sisters of the Xiao family were patiently waiting for someone. However, until almost all the cultivators had walked out, there was still no sign of the other person.

"Maybe something happened. Don't worry, wait a little longer." Xiao Yunqing smiled slightly and comforted softly.

"They all just walked out of the hall, what could happen?" Xiao Yunhuang frowned slightly and was about to continue speaking, but at this moment, her expression suddenly moved, and then she flipped her slender hand lightly, and a milky white jade pendant emerged.

This item was specially used to communicate with Mo Juren. They were originally a pair, and the other one had been given to the other party before.

But he is clearly nearby, why doesn’t he come out to meet me, but instead summon me?

"What the hell is this guy doing?" Xiao Yunhuang muttered to herself, but without hesitation, she immersed her mind in it, and suddenly a message came.

However, after reading the content, she was immediately furious.

"Damn it, he left on his own!"

"Gone?" Xiao Yunqing was stunned for a moment.

"Did you tell me the reason?"

"He said he had something urgent to deal with and had to leave right away, and he didn't say anything else." Xiao Yunhuang shook her head slightly, muttering to herself,

"You were so polite when I borrowed the spirit stones, but now you are being so perfunctory when I haven't received the spirit stones yet. How despicable!"

"Borrow spirit stones?" Xiao Yunqing looked surprised, and at this time, Xiao Yunhuang also reacted and knew that he could not hide it, so he could only briefly describe the situation.

"So that's how it is!" Xiao Yunqing suddenly realized something and then exclaimed,

"He actually plans to buy a business in this market. He is quite courageous. However, the shops here are not cheap. I guess he wants to borrow a lot of money, right?"

"It's...it's okay, it's just over 1 billion..." Xiao Yunhuang replied in a mosquito-like voice, obviously she also knew that it was a bit too much.

As expected, Xiao Yunqing, who had been calm and composed, froze up after hearing this. It took her a long time to come back to her senses. She asked back with some uncertainty,

"You...how much did you say just now?"

"Ten...more than one billion..."

"you……"

If Xiao Yunqing had not been in the market town at this moment, she would have lost control and exploded.

Wow, one is so bold to ask, and the other one is so brave to agree. If you don’t know, you would think that the two parties have some kind of life-and-death friendship.

More than 1 billion! When she thought of this number, and her younger sister agreed to it, she felt crazy.

"Are you crazy, girl? Can you come up with more than 1 billion? I'm afraid even if I sell you, I still can't get the money. When you were bidding for that 'Middle-grade Realm Breakthrough Pill', you didn't seem to be very wealthy. Why do you become a spendthrift when it comes to borrowing spirit stones from Mo?"

"Sister, have you forgotten that he promised to be my protector, and this loan of more than 1 billion spirit stones is the condition of the exchange." Xiao Yunhuang explained hurriedly.

After hearing the reason, Xiao Yunqing was stunned again, and then she sighed.

"I thought too much. You didn't tell me when I asked you before. So this is the reason. Since you agreed to be the protector in exchange, it's not too outrageous. But more than 1 billion spirit stones is not a small amount!"

"I've thought about it, and I'll go back to the clan to find all the sisters today. The money doesn't need to be too much, one or two hundred million per person will be more than enough." Xiao Yunhuang grinned.

"What are you laughing at!" Xiao Yunqing glared at the other person unhappily.

"I was wondering why you are so confident. So this is what you are planning? Are you planning to drain all of our sisters' wealth?"

"It's just a loan, not a free gift. I'll have to pay it back sooner or later, so don't worry, sister." Xiao Yunhuang reminded her again. Sure enough, after hearing this, the former didn't say anything more, and then changed the subject.

"I just attended the auction, and my spiritual stones are almost exhausted, but I still have some stored at home. I will go back with you today."

"That's great. With Seventh Sister's testimony, Big Sister and Second Sister won't think I'm lying..."

"You..." Xiao Yunqing smiled helplessly.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go straight away!"

After saying that, the two women were about to leave, but at this moment, their bodies suddenly stiffened, as if they were locked by some invisible force.

Seeing this, the two women's faces changed drastically. Unfortunately, they could not move or speak. They could only turn their eyes in horror, constantly wondering what had happened.

At this moment, a figure suddenly walked out slowly from behind. It was a strange young man wearing a brocade robe and holding a white jade folding fan in his hand. His appearance was so handsome that it was a little weird.

"Don't be afraid, I mean no harm! This is not the place to talk, let's go somewhere else to continue chatting." The young man smiled slightly, and then he waved his arm. A burst of light spread out, and it directly rolled up the two women and flew out of the market.
