Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 1129 Goodbye Hua Qingyao

Among the many spiritual places near Tianyuan City, Zihua Mountain is certainly a good one. It is definitely a rare holy place for cultivation in the outside world.

But it also depends on where you compare it with. At least it can't be ranked in Tianyuan at all. The locations where those powerful people in the Refining Void Realm and the members of the Elder Council are the real Feng Shui treasures.

It is for this reason that this place is designated as the residential area for cultivators in the God Transformation Stage.

Zihua Mountain is vast, stretching tens of millions of miles from east to west, and there are countless Qingming Guards scattered throughout it.

In the eastern part of the mountain range, there is a special valley called Ice and Fire Valley. Its area is not large, but it is quite famous among the many spiritual places in Zihua Mountain.

The reason is very simple. There is a 'Yin Yang Pond' here. For some cultivators, this is definitely a rare treasure in the world.

At the beginning, Xiao Yunqing resolutely gave up Tianhe Mountain, where the powerful people in the Refinement Realm lived, and chose this place as a second choice, precisely because of this consideration.

Mo Juren was present when we were selecting a spiritual site at Yuque Pavilion that day. I remember that he seemed to want to practice some special secret method that required the power of extreme heat and extreme cold.

As for what the secret method is, it is unknown.

After leaving Tianyuan City and flying for about half a day, we finally arrived at the outskirts of Ice and Fire Valley.

What surprised him was that all he could see in front of him were endless towering peaks. As for the Ice and Fire Valley described in the information, there was not even a shadow of it, as if it did not exist at all.

However, Mo Juren was very clear that everything he saw now was just an illusion created by some kind of formation.

Although he couldn't tell what kind of formation it was, its power was indeed extraordinary. With the strength of his spiritual sense, it would be easy to overlook it if he didn't deliberately investigate.

In addition, the shielding effect of this formation on spiritual consciousness is also extremely strong. He tried it a little bit, but was unable to penetrate it at all.

He put away his thoughts and was about to take out the token to contact Xiao Yunhuang, but at this moment, the void in front of him suddenly rippled, and then it was as if cut by a sharp blade, revealing a passage about ten feet high.

Mo Juren understood in his heart that it must have been aware of his arrival, so it took the initiative to open the passage.

He did not hesitate, and immediately his body flashed, turning into a ray of five-colored light and flying into it. The moment he entered, the passage quickly returned to normal.

Just as Mo Juren had thought, the inside of the formation was a completely different world. Looking up, he saw a huge valley appearing in his sight, with no end in sight.

The environment in the valley was extremely hot, as if it was constantly being roasted by flames, making the ground on both sides a little hot.

Such a harsh environment is naturally desolate, with almost no vegetation. Even if there is any, it is scattered and cannot be named. It should be some kind of species suitable for hot environments.

Going deeper and deeper into the valley for about a thousand miles, we suddenly came to a place with birds singing and flowers blooming, like an oasis in the desert, full of vitality.

However, the area of ​​this oasis is not large, only about ten miles in range. After crossing the oasis, at the other end of the valley, he can clearly see the extremely cold energy that permeates there, as if it were a world of ice and snow.

Mo Juren couldn't help but sigh, this was probably the so-called 'Ice and Fire Valley', and it really lived up to its name.

He withdrew his gaze and once again looked at the oasis in front of him. In the very center, there was a small pond of water.

It is only a hundred feet in diameter, but is divided into two in the middle, one side is fiery red, the other side is icy blue, containing two completely opposite energies, one cold and one hot.

This should be the so-called 'Yin Yang Poles Pond'. It is indeed quite magical, but I don't know how it was formed?

Mo Juren even secretly speculated that this 'Yin Yang Pond' might be hiding some unknown secrets. But even if there were, it would not be too important. After all, the top leaders would definitely weigh such matters.

Perhaps it is because the water in the pond is cold and hot, which offset each other, that the temperature within a radius of more than ten miles is relatively suitable. Coupled with the rich spiritual energy, this oasis is formed.

The oasis is blocked by two huge peaks in the north and south. There is a cave at the bottom of one of the peaks. If my guess is correct, it should be Xiao Yunqing's cave.

This was also what surprised Mo Juren. Logically speaking, the other party had obviously known of his arrival and should have come out to greet him. Even if not outside the valley, it should have been here.

After all, this is my first time visiting, and this is the most basic courtesy.

Not to mention Xiao Yunhuang, that woman was naturally willful and capricious, but with Xiao Yunqing's personality, it was impossible for her not to know about it.

For some reason, he instinctively felt something was wrong in his heart, and subconsciously wondered if there really was a problem.

But on second thought, he felt that it was unlikely. This is the heart of Tianyuan City. The two sisters of the Xiao family are not weaklings who can be bullied. They have a powerful background behind them. How could something go wrong so easily?

Of course, he thought so in his heart, but out of instinct, he still raised a little alert, slowly flew to a position not far from the cave entrance and stopped directly, then said loudly:

"I'm here to visit you, fellow Taoists, are you available?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the thing he was most worried about happened. He didn't get any response at all, which immediately made Mo Juren's face darken.

He shouted again with some uncertainty, but still no one responded, which made him even more certain that something might have really happened!

After struggling for a while, he finally did not choose to leave directly, but quickly flashed into the cave.

After passing through a long and narrow passage, he finally entered a spacious hall. The scene he saw next made his heart sink.

Sitting on the main seat on one side of the hall was a figure that couldn't be more familiar. It was a stunning woman in a purple palace dress with an unparalleled beautiful temperament. In her arms was an unknown azure blue civet cat, who was looking at him with a smile on her face.

Who else could this woman be if not Hua Qingyao? After not seeing her for many days, she was still as charming and beautiful as ever, with every frown and smile emitting a bewitching charm. As for the two sisters Xiao Yunhuang and Xiao Yunqing, nothing happened to them. They were standing side by side not far away, with indignation in their eyes, but also a bit of helplessness.

"It hasn't been long since we last met, and Fellow Daoist Mo doesn't recognize me anymore? You didn't even say hello when we met?" At this moment, Hua Qingyao suddenly spoke up and asked meaningfully.

"How could that be? I was just surprised to see you suddenly, so I forgot to say hello." Almost in an instant, Mo Juren adjusted his mentality and said with a smile.

"Are you sure it's surprise, not shock?" Hua Qingyao said with a half-smile.

"Senior, you are joking. I am so happy to see you, how can I be shocked?" Mo Juren said righteously, and continued with a grateful look on his face.

"In the accident that happened, I was able to escape alive thanks to you, senior. I will always remember your life-saving grace and think about when I can repay you."

"That sounds so nice, shouldn't I be deeply moved?" Hua Qingyao's smile remained on her face, but she didn't believe a single word of what the other party said.

“It is only natural to repay a favor. You don’t need to take it to heart, on the contrary, it is the younger generation who should be more moved. The scene on that day is still vivid in my mind, and I will never forget it in my life.” When he said this, Mo Juren’s black eyes turned slightly red.

Seeing this, the two sisters of the Xiao family were somewhat moved. They did not expect that there was such a dispute between the two parties. It was quite different from what they had thought before.

However, compared to the two women, Hua Qingyao was speechless:

"You're not done yet, are you? Don't you think it's a bit presumptuous to act in front of me?"

"How could it be acting? I am a serious junior. It is too hurtful for you to say that." Mo Juren had a helpless look on his face, but his heart was full of emotion. He was indeed an old witch. His tricks could not fool him at all.

Fortunately, the other party's tone changed, and things were not beyond redemption, so it was much easier to deal with.

"You are the only one who is sad?" Hua Qingyao sneered.

"Your heart is made of stone. No amount of kindness can warm it. I am also confused. I don't seem to have any ill will towards you. On the contrary, I have taken good care of you. Why do you try so hard to hide?"

"Hide?" Mo Juren looked confused.

"Why do you say that, senior? After we separated, I had nowhere to go. I thought that the ascenders would face the problem of two-color lightning tribulation, so I came directly to Tianyuan City. How can I hide?"

"Really?" Hua Qingyao narrowed her eyes and asked again.

"Then why did the Heavenly Fox Aura in you suddenly disappear, and why did you completely lose contact with me?"

"The breath disappeared?" Mo Juren was even more confused.

"You should be very clear about the strength of this junior. Do you think I have the ability to make it disappear?"

"This..." Hua Qingyao was speechless for a moment. Indeed, it was a pipe dream for the other party to want to eliminate the Sky Fox Aura with that little strength, especially since there was another one planted by her herself. Even an existence of the same level as her could not do it.

Of course, special pills like the Dust-Mieting Pill are an exception, but that’s all. Apart from this pill, she really can’t think of any other way.

For a moment, she couldn't help but feel a little shaken. What the other party said was reasonable and well-founded, and there was really nothing to criticize. Could it be that she was really overthinking it?

She searched the other person's body for a while and found that the Heavenly Fox Aura had indeed disappeared, but it was obviously because of the Dust-Murdering Pill. The reason why she suddenly couldn't sense it before was what really puzzled her.

If it were anyone else, there would be no need to go through so much trouble. A simple soul search would reveal everything. But this boy couldn't do that. Since this concerned Empress Tu Li, she naturally couldn't act recklessly.

After some thought, she finally sighed and said:

"Well, let's just forget about this matter. I won't ask any more questions. But what are you going to do now?"

"Senior, you should also know that as a first-generation ascender, I must take Dust-Extinguishing Pills for a long time. It will take at least three hundred years to completely eliminate the aura of the alien world. I..." Mo Juren did not continue speaking, but the meaning was very clear. Upon hearing this, Hua Qingyao also showed helplessness on her face.

"Your situation is special and you really can't leave Tianyuan City. When we first met, I mentioned that I would send you here and wait until the aura of the other world is cleared before you leave with me. Now that you are here by yourself, you can stay for a while."

As she spoke, she flipped her slender hands, and a small jade bottle about an inch high emerged.

The moment they saw the jade bottle, not only Mo Juren, but also the two sisters of the Xiao family beside them all showed expressions of surprise. This thing was really too familiar. Wasn't it the 'Mid-grade Realm Breakthrough Pill' that had appeared in the auction before?

Mo Juren remembered clearly that the person who competed fiercely with him that day and finally snatched the pill away should be a man, but he never thought it was Hua Qingyao.

"So, it was actually you, senior, that day..." Mo Juren smiled helplessly.

"It was indeed me. I wanted to trip you up and make you suffer a little, but you gave up so quickly!" Hua Qingyao smiled slightly, then raised her slender hand, and the jade bottle flew out and fell directly into Mo Juren's hands.

"Senior, this is..." Looking at the jade bottle in his hand, Mo Juren was stunned.

"This thing is useless to me, so it's naturally prepared for you." Hua Qingyao explained with a chuckle, but Mo Juren was suddenly at a loss when he heard this.

It wasn't just him, the two sisters of the Xiao family were even more 'dumbfounded'. They originally thought that this powerful person in the fusion realm who suddenly appeared had some grudge with Fellow Daoist Mo.

But now it seems that it is not the case at all?

Not only are there no conflicts between these two people, but they seem to be very close. The middle-grade realm-breaking elixir was given to them as a gift right away. No one would believe it if they said they didn't have a deep relationship.

"This is too expensive, junior..." Mo Juren was about to refuse, but was interrupted by the other party.

"Just take it if it's given to you. Why are you being so shy?"

"This... why are you doing this, senior?" Mo Juren sighed. Since he was planning to give it to him, why did he compete on that day? In the end, he even spent tens of millions more spirit stones. Isn't this nonsense?

"I have so many spirit stones that I don't know where to spend them. Can't I just find some fun for myself? Why should I worry about you?" Hua Qingyao glared at someone.

"The spirit stones are yours, you can spend them however you like. It is naturally none of my business. But since you have so many spirit stones, instead of wasting them on others, why not lend some to me?" Mo Juren joked with a smile.

"Lend it to you?" Hua Qingyao laughed.

"That's a good idea, but what's your relationship with me? Why should I lend it to you?"

"I was just saying this casually. If you don't want to lend it to me, forget it." Mo Juren could naturally understand the meaning of the other party's words, but he simply didn't respond.
