Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 1124 Phoenix Key

"Withdraw the auction?" In a room on the top floor of Jiuxiao Pavilion, a man named Feng was staring at the person in front of him with a look of astonishment and asked.

"It's just taking down an item. It shouldn't have any impact, right?" The person who came was naturally Mo Juren. After arriving in the room, he directly told the other party his thoughts.

"This..." The man surnamed Feng opened his mouth and then explained helplessly.

“If it had been earlier, of course there would have been no problem. At that time, it was still in the preparation stage and no one knew the information of the items. It would have been fine if we had withdrawn all of them, let alone just one.

But now it is a bit inappropriate. Although the detailed information about the auction items was not announced in advance, a list was sent to some important people.

These people either come from extraordinary backgrounds and have powerful backing, or they have terrifying personal strength. In short, they are not easy to offend.

Many of them came here for the Red Swan Armor. If they find out that it is not there, they will definitely think they are being teased and will never let it go. "

"Is that so?" Mo Juren frowned. He had never thought of this. It was indeed a bit unexpected. It was obviously impossible for Jiuxiao Pavilion to agree to offend someone who should not be offended for an auction item.

Business has its own rules, and honesty is the foundation. Since the information has been disclosed, it is natural not to go back on one's word, otherwise the impact will be great.

"Mr. Feng, may I ask you one more question? Young man, you suddenly want to take off the Red Swan Armor, but do you have other plans?" The man surnamed Feng's eyes flashed slightly, and then he asked with a smile.

"A good friend of mine needed this item, so I thought of taking it down in advance and selling it to her." Mo Juren did not hide it and answered directly.

"It seems that this person has a close relationship with Mr. Mo!" The man surnamed Feng sighed, but then changed the subject.

"In fact, it's not that there is no solution. As long as we change the approach, everything will be fine."

"Change the way?" Mo Juren thought about it, but before he could ask, the other party had already given the answer.

"It's very simple. You can just participate in the auction normally later and bid for it at the highest price. The item is yours anyway, so no matter how many spirit stones you spend, it will be returned to you. As for the commission, Feng can decide. I won't charge you for this one."

"What you said is absolutely right, it is indeed more appropriate to do so. However, I was wrong in this matter, so how can I let you spend money? There is no need to reduce the commission, it should be what it is." Mo Juren did not hesitate any longer and directly agreed to the other party's suggestion. As for the commission, it was really nothing, and he did not want to owe the other party a favor because of it.

Experiencing two lives taught him a truth: if you lose spirit stones, you can earn them again, but if you owe a favor, it is not so easy to repay it. Therefore, if anything can be solved with spirit stones, you must not be stingy.

The man surnamed Feng wanted to persuade him again, but no matter what he said, Mo Juren still refused to agree. Such a result made him feel a little amused.

"You, why are you so polite?"

"One thing is one thing. It was Mo who broke the rules. How can I be greedy?"

"This... okay..."

Seeing that the other party insisted, the man surnamed Feng didn't say anything more. But at this moment, a light sound of footsteps suddenly sounded and quickly entered the room.

The person who came was none other than the beautiful middle-aged woman from before, who was also the daughter of Pavilion Master Feng.

"It turns out to be Brother Mo. I haven't seen you for many days. You look even more charming and elegant than before!" The beautiful middle-aged woman walked closer and complimented him with a smile.

"Miss Feng, you are too kind. Are you coming here now because the auction is about to start?" Mo Juren nodded slightly and asked the other party with a smile.

"Everything is ready, but the participants have not yet arrived, so we need to wait for a while." The middle-aged beautiful woman shook her head slightly and continued,

"Brother Mo, you have come here specially to look for my father at this time, but what is the matter?"

"It's nothing..." Mo Juren did not hide anything and immediately informed the other party of the situation. Of course, he also said that there was no need to withdraw the bid in advance and he would participate in the auction as normal.

"So that's it!" The beautiful middle-aged woman suddenly realized that this was indeed the most appropriate thing to do. Naturally, she would not object to anything. She then chuckled and said,

"I will pay attention to this matter and try to keep the price lower. This will also save Brother Mo some commission."

"Thank you very much, Miss Feng, for your concern!" This time Mo Juren did not refuse and expressed his gratitude immediately.

"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning, Brother Mo, don't take it to heart." The middle-aged beautiful woman shook her fair jade hand and continued,

"One more thing. When I came up, the VIP room on the seventh floor was almost full. Did Brother Mo select a room in advance?"

"Number 13!"

"Number 13, I'll take note of it!"

"..."

……

Mo Juren did not stay on the top floor for too long. After finishing his business, he said goodbye and left.

The moment he walked out of the room, his figure and appearance changed instantly. At the same time, he put on the mask provided by the auction and then walked towards the venue on the sixth and seventh floors.

Soon they returned to the hall on the sixth floor. Compared with before, the participants who arrived at this time had almost occupied all the seats below.

As for the VIP rooms upstairs, some had their doors closed while others were open, and in the circular corridors in front of the doors, there were exquisite tables and chairs.

Those Jindan stage cultivators who did not want to stay in the room sat directly outside. And not every seat was occupied by only one Jindan stage cultivator. On the contrary, many of them came in groups of three or five. At this moment, they were sipping tea and chatting while patiently waiting for the conference to begin.

Mo Juren and Xue Rou were no exception, they both chose the same VIP room.

When he reached the door of Room 13, he pushed it open and walked in. However, to his surprise, Xue Rou was not the only one in the room. Opposite her was a stunning woman in a white snow-white dress with shoulder-length black hair and skin as white as jade. Her appearance was even more beautiful than the previous one.

"Captain!" Seeing Mo Juren returning, Xue Rou immediately stood up. Such a scene made the strange woman opposite her look surprised.

"Who is this?" Mo Juren looked at the strange woman and asked.

"My junior sister, and also my good friend for many years." Xue Rou smiled sweetly.

"I didn't know that he was also attending the auction. It was just a coincidence that we just ran into each other, so we started chatting."

"My name is Feng Yao, nice to meet you, Fellow Daoist Mo." Just as Xue Rou finished speaking, the strange woman next to her stood up and introduced herself.

"Since you are Miss Xue's junior sister, you are not an outsider. There is no need to be so polite. Please sit down." Mo Juren waved his hand and chose a seat to sit down.

"How's it going?" Xue Rou asked in a low voice with an expectant look on her face. She also poured a cup of hot tea for the other party and slowly pushed it forward. "No problem, but the method has changed. You still have to participate in the auction later, otherwise it will break the rules. As for the final transaction price, it will be determined according to the negotiation." Mo Juren did not say too much in detail, but Xue Rou was so smart that she naturally understood what he meant instantly.

"Will this be too much for you?"

"Don't worry, it's okay." Mo Juren waved his hand. The moment he drank the spiritual tea, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"This Jiuxiao Pavilion is really generous. The quality of this spiritual tea is not bad at all."

"Fellow Daoist Mo likes to drink tea?" Feng Yao looked slightly surprised.

"It's just a little hobby. How about it, Miss Feng, do you also like this?" Mo Juren nodded and asked with a smile.

"It's more than a hobby, it's a straightforward obsession. It even delayed his cultivation." Without waiting for Feng Yao to answer, Xue Rou next to him suddenly revealed in an unpleasant tone.

"Sister, you are wrong. It is true that I am obsessed with the tea ceremony, but I will never let it interfere with my work." Feng Yao explained hastily, but there was some evasion in her words, which clearly was insincere.

"Master has reprimanded me so many times for this matter. How can you say this is not delaying the important work?" Xue Rou rolled her eyes at him and said angrily,

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Master should be coming out of seclusion soon. When he sees that you have not made any progress in your cultivation, he will definitely not let you off easily."

"Didn't you say you would be in seclusion for a hundred years? It's only been less than halfway, how come it went so fast?" As expected, after hearing this, Feng Yao could no longer remain calm and asked with a look of horror on her face.

"Are you scared now?" Xue Rou snorted coldly.

"I also just received the news not long ago. Master successfully broke through to the late stage of refining emptiness half a year ago. Since then, he has been consolidating his realm. It is estimated that it has been in the past few days."

"It looks like we're going to suffer again this time!" After hearing that there were only a few days left, Feng Yao realized that it would be impossible to remedy the situation even if she wanted to, so she quickly looked at Xue Rou.

"If Master really scolds me then, Senior Sister, you must save me!"

"I can't control this kind of thing. Just wish you the best." Xue Rou shook her head slightly and suddenly said,

"But if you really want to, you can take advantage of this auction to carefully choose a gift. If Master is happy, she might not scold you."

"Yes, why didn't I think of this?" Feng Yao suddenly realized and continued,

"If I remember correctly, Master is extremely obsessed with alchemy. If I could buy some rare alchemy books, she would definitely like it."

"That's right in theory, but who is Master? She has read countless books on this subject. It's probably not easy to find a book of a high quality that she has never read before."

"The auction has just begun, and there will be many more auction activities to come. It should be fine, right?" Feng Yao analyzed with some uncertainty.

"Who knows? It depends on your luck." Xue Rou shook her head slightly. At this time, Mo Juren next to her suddenly spoke up.

"As far as I know, there is an ancient alchemy book in today's auction. Miss Feng can buy it then."

"Are you serious?" Hearing this, Feng Yao was immediately surprised. However, according to her understanding, this auction did not seem to disclose any information about the items. How did the other party know about it?

"Whether it's true or not, we'll have to wait and see later." Mo Juren smiled slightly but didn't explain anything. But even so, Feng Yao still gained more confidence.

Seeing that it was getting late, she did not stay any longer and said goodbye and left.

At this moment, Mo Juren suddenly took out the storage bag that Xue Rou had given him, and then handed it to the other party and said:

"I have already negotiated with the Pavilion Master here. I will sell you the 'Red Swan Armor' for eight million. The remaining three million is in the storage bag."

"Only eight million!" Xue Rou's eyes widened. This price was too low, far below her expectations.

"Captain, what price did you pay?"

"Then what price do you think I will pay?" Mo Juren looked at the other party with a smile.

"How would I know if you don't tell me?" Xue Rou snorted, thought for a while, and said again.

"How about this, didn't I lend you some spiritual stones before? How about I deduct some from you as a compensation?"

"You!" Mo Juren laughed dumbly.

"Okay, let's leave it at that. Don't think too much. I didn't pay any price, so there's no need to offset any spirit stones."

"But……"

Xue Rou was about to continue speaking, but was suddenly interrupted by the sound of a melodious bell. The auction finally began.

In this case, she didn't know what to say next. She could only think to herself that it would not be too late to discuss the matter with the other party after it was over.

……

Because of Mo Juren's participation, the scale of Jiuxiao Pavilion's auction has become unprecedented, and the items prepared and the participants are incomparable to the past.

Therefore, as soon as the meeting started, the atmosphere immediately became lively.

This is a grand event for everyone except Mo Juren. You know, the main selling point of this conference is the appearance of a large number of ancient treasures, and many of them are fine products.

But for Mo Juren, this was originally something he sent for auction, so naturally it had no meaning at all.

The only thing that concerned him were a few of the precious materials, so he hardly participated in the entire auction process.

Xue Rou, on the other hand, had some wealth immediately after getting back three million spirit stones. She made several purchases at subsequent auctions and bought a lot of things she needed.

As time passed, the items were sold out one by one, and Mo Juren got the rare materials he needed as he wished.

At this time, the entire auction has once again come to the final stage, which is also the most important moment, involving the auction of the last few finale treasures.

Among them, the red swan armor ranked first.

The appearance of this precious armor naturally attracted the attention of almost everyone in an instant. Those cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage were not too bad, as these things had nothing to do with them.

However, the competition among the cultivators in the God Transformation Stage is extremely fierce.

As for the strong ones in the Void Refinement Realm, they probably looked down on him, so they never took any action.
