Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 1122: Nightmare Dragon Skin

"Thunder spiritual root?" Mo Juren's heart moved slightly. If he really didn't have it before, he really had it now. However, the other party was right about one thing. He really had no plan to change his cultivation method.

I have a body of five elements, which is most in line with "The Five Elements Proof of the Way". Why should I desire more?

Of course, it’s enough for you to know these situations yourself, there is no need to explain them deliberately.

Moreover, this so-called "Shenxiao Treasure Record" sounds very complicated. I can be considered to have made a big profit this time. After all, even if I don't practice the main technique, I can still comprehend the secret techniques contained in it.

"I don't have much time, let's start now. Give me two blank jade slips first..." The silver-haired old man naturally didn't know what Mo Juren was thinking, and of course he didn't care, so he just reminded him directly.

"Two?" Mo Juren's mind moved, and he immediately guessed the reason. Without hesitation, he took out the jade slip and handed it to the other party.

Things turned out just as he thought. After just a moment, the other party handed one of the jade slips back to him.

“What is recorded here is the original technique and many secret skills of the “Shenxiao Baolu”. Please accept it. If you can find a suitable disciple in the future, please pass it on on my behalf.” The silver-haired old man sighed, but did not say anything else. Instead, he flew directly to the side and began to modify the technique.

Although he said it very easily before, this matter is certainly not that easy.

Mo Juren naturally would not disturb the other party. Instead, he shifted his attention to the jade slip in his hand and immediately immersed his mind in it and began to browse through it.

As for Zi Dian, he was floating in the air without any movement, looking like he was lost in thought.

Mo Juren simply glanced through the contents of the jade slip. The level of its abstruseness was beyond his imagination, and the requirements for practitioners were also extremely harsh.

Thunder spiritual roots are just the foundation, and it is far from enough. One also needs to have a very high understanding of the thunder attribute laws, otherwise it is impossible to achieve much.

In short, this technique is only for geniuses, and will not work for those with even slightly lower aptitude and comprehension.

"Hey, this is..." But at this moment, he suddenly noticed something and exclaimed in surprise.

He actually saw a familiar name in the contents recorded in the jade slip, "The Five Thunders Sealing the Heavens", which was one of the last five treasures that had appeared in the auction before.

Only then did he understand that this so-called "Five Thunders Sealing Heaven Art" was actually one of several martial arts techniques recorded in the "Shenxiao Treasure Record", and it was also a relatively extreme and quick method.

Baolu also has a detailed evaluation of this method. For example, the speed of cultivation in the early stage is incredibly fast and the power is not bad, but this requires a price, which is to greatly overdraw the potential of the practitioner.

Therefore, once you reach the middle and late stages, the difficulty will increase exponentially, and it will be difficult to continue practicing.

Moreover, this technique only pursues attack power and ignores the comprehensive understanding of the laws of thunder and lightning. Therefore, no matter how strong it is, it has its limits and can be easily targeted.

After all, although the power of thunder is strong, it is not invincible and there is also the possibility of being restrained.

"What a scam!" Mo Juren sighed, and was even more confused in his heart. Could it be that the people above really couldn't see these flaws?

This kind of ancient martial arts is of such a high level and there is nothing to compare it to. It is indeed possible that it cannot be seen. But if it is seen but someone deliberately does not say anything, wouldn't that be trapping people to death?

I don't know what the fate of the fellow who spent a lot of money to buy this martial art will be. I guess he will be so angry that he will vomit blood.

But unfortunately, even if you really realize that something is wrong, it will be a long time later, and it will be too late to regret by then.

Shaking his head slightly, he did not continue browsing, but put it away directly.

At the same time, he suddenly took out the five-colored mask. Previously at the auction, the old man surnamed Tu had reminded him that this item had its drawbacks.

It seems to contain some strange demonic nature that can infect the user's soul. It's okay in a short period of time, but over time, one's own consciousness will be affected.

Naturally, he valued the treasure that could shield against detection by powerful people in the fusion realm very much, otherwise he would not have spent so many spirit stones to buy it.

But its disadvantages must be taken seriously, especially when it comes to the soul, we must not be careless.

However, the problem is that this mask has obviously been worn by a powerful person in the fusion realm, even a top-level fusion realm being like Tianyuan Saint Emperor.

But even they couldn't seem to find the cause of the problem. In this case, how could a junior like me in the Spiritualization Stage figure it out? This was obviously unrealistic!

Suddenly, he thought of something, and his eyes fell on the silver-haired old man not far away.

This person is the remnant soul of True Man Jiuxiao, a super powerful person who once stood at the top of the spiritual world and was only one step away from ascending to the fairyland.

The vision of such a being is naturally not comparable to that of a cultivator in the fusion realm, even the Tianyuan Saint Emperor who stands at the top of the fusion realm cannot compare to it.

I think the other party should be able to see something about the mask, right?

Thinking of this, he suddenly wanted to ask something, but when he saw that the other party had a frown on his face and was obviously immersed in a deep state of meditation, he temporarily gave up the idea.

Just wait a while. It won’t be too late to ask after the other party has modified his skills.

Putting the five-colored mask aside, Mo Juren looked at Zi Dian and asked with a smile:

"You heard everything, but you didn't ask me. What do you think?"

“When I returned to my ancestral form and turned into a dragon and my bloodline was sublimated, I obtained a part of the inheritance, which naturally included the cultivation method. Logically speaking, there is no need for other methods.

But you also know that compared to humans, the cultivation of the demon race is often much more difficult, especially in terms of time consumption, which is often dozens or hundreds of times that of humans.

Perhaps God is fair. The demon race has an innate advantage in lifespan. Not to mention the higher-level demon cultivators, even those low-level demons below the Spirit Transformation Stage have lifespans of tens of thousands.

It is precisely because of this that the demon race makes up for its shortcomings in cultivation and does not fall behind the human race.

My situation is no exception, so I have to face a very realistic problem. If I practice according to the demon clan's skills inherited in my blood, I may achieve something in the future, but it will definitely be tens of thousands of years later.

And if you change to this so-called "Shenxiao Baolu", as a human race's practice method, its practice speed must be not slow, so wouldn't it save a lot of time?" Zi Dian thought for a while and then analyzed. "It's not wrong to think so, but there must be a prerequisite, that is, whether your situation can perfectly match this "Shenxiao Baolu", so that you can go further.

Although the level of "Shenxiao Baolu" is extremely high, it is a method of the human race after all. If you practice it, what if something goes wrong in the later stages? And the bloodline of the ancient true spirit "Purple Sky Thunder Dragon" awakened in your body also means that your potential in the future is almost infinite. It may not be a good thing to modify it randomly, right?"

"This is also what I am worried about. However, since this senior has given such advice, I think he has already considered it carefully. There shouldn't be any problems, right?" Zi Dian shook his head slightly and continued.

“There is another more crucial point that you may not know. The inheritance of the demon race’s bloodline is not achieved overnight. It is often acquired little by little from the bottom up.

Just like in my case, I am currently practicing only a part of the demon clan's skills, and it is not 100% certain that I will not be able to inherit the subsequent parts.

This depends on many factors, such as whether the bloodline after evolution is perfect, how much it is, etc. "

"If that's the case, then we must pay attention to this "Divine Sky Treasure Record". If there are no problems, then we can just treat it as our main cultivation method in the future. Perhaps we will get unexpected surprises in the future."

"I thought so too, but I still have to wait until Senior wakes up and then ask him about the situation..."

……

Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, it was already late at night.

At this time, the silver-haired old man finally came back to his senses from his 'meditation', then raised a finger and quickly drew something on the blank jade slip, accompanied by flashes of spiritual light.

The old man would occasionally stop while moving his fingers, and would continue after thinking for a while. This process was intermittent and took him about half an hour to complete.

He slowly closed his eyes, and after checking again, a smile finally appeared on his face.

After spending most of the day refining his skills, the energy consumption was quite huge. Mo Juren could clearly feel that his opponent was becoming increasingly weak.

"Looking at your expression, has the task been accomplished?" Mo Juren sighed and asked tentatively.

"I guess so." The silver-haired old man laughed and threw the jade slip to the other party without caring about his physical condition.

"You can take this thing as well. After all, the little dragon is your spirit beast. You can discuss whether to modify it among yourselves. But you must also agree to find a suitable successor for me."

"Don't worry, senior. Leave this matter to me. I guarantee that you will be satisfied." Mo Juren said as he swore a vow immediately.

Such an attitude immediately satisfied the silver-haired old man, who smiled and nodded:

"I can hold on for a while, but if you have any questions, please tell me. I may not be able to help you much, but I can still help you solve some of your doubts."

"Thank you, senior. I do have some questions for you. The first is about this technique. After all, it is a method of cultivation for the human race. Even if it is modified, it will not be completely compatible with the demon race, right? If Zidian is modified, will it affect future growth? The second question is about this five-color mask that I got. Can you see something strange about it?"

Mo Juren had been waiting for this for a long time. When he heard the other party mention it, he immediately expressed Zi Dian's doubts and handed the five-colored mask to him.

"You two are cautious, but that's understandable." The silver-haired old man chuckled and continued.

"As for the technique, there is absolutely no problem. I can guarantee this. Especially in the case of the little dragon, practicing this technique can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

While speaking, the old man simply raised his hand, took the five-colored mask into his palm, and then began to investigate.

At first he didn't take it seriously, but after a moment he seemed to have discovered something and suddenly exclaimed:

"It turned out to be the skin of a 'Nightmare Dragon', and it's the legendary 'Five-Colored Nightmare Dragon'. Interesting, very interesting!"

"The skin of the Nightmare Dragon? The five-colored Nightmare Dragon? What is that?" Upon hearing this, Mo Juren also looked surprised and asked curiously.

“The so-called Nightmare Dragon is also a type of dragon spirit, and similar to the legendary Mirage Dragon, it has incredible talents in hiding and changing.

The five-colored nightmare dragon is a type of nightmare dragon, which is even rarer. Even in the era when I was active, it still only existed in some records.

As for this mask, it is made from the skin of a five-colored nightmare dragon. Of course, some other materials are also added, so it naturally has the ability to hide and change.

The only pity is that this skin should be the skin shed by the Five-Colored Nightmare Dragon when it advanced. The true spirit origin contained in it is extremely rare, so the effect is greatly reduced.

Fortunately, the person who refined this mask has superb skills and added some rare materials, which maximizes its effectiveness.

If we kill the Five-Color Nightmare Dragon directly and use its skin to refine the mask, the effect of hiding the changes will be incredible. I am afraid that even in my prime, I would hardly be able to see through it. "

"So that's it!" Mo Juren suddenly understood, but asked again,

"This mask was bought by me not long ago. According to the auction organizer, it seems to contain some strange magic that can infect the wearer's soul. Over time, the wearer's consciousness will be affected. Why is this?"

"Of course it will be affected, but it has nothing to do with the devil or the demons. It's because of the Nightmare Dragon itself." The silver-haired old man laughed and continued,

"The Nightmare Dragon is an evil beast. It is not an ordinary true spirit, but an 'evil spirit' that inherently possesses evil will. The mask made from its shed skin will naturally carry this will.

However, there are two sides to everything. Wearing this mask will indeed be affected by the evil will, but isn't it also a kind of tempering of your own state of mind? Over time, as long as you can always stick to it, it will be beneficial to the future. "

"Is that so?" Mo Juren suddenly realized again, and felt a little emotional in his heart. He originally thought that it had something to do with the demons, so perhaps his own evil-breaking divine light could play a role.

Now it seems that it is not what he thought. He paused and then asked,

"Can't this evil will be erased?"

"If it were during my prime, this should not be a problem, but now I am powerless. Moreover, this will originates from the main material itself, and the two are inseparable. If it is really erased, then this mask will most likely be unusable." The silver-haired old man shook his head slightly. Once these words came out, Mo Juren completely gave up.
