Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Outside Lingyi City, in a dense forest somewhere, a dusty figure was standing still. It was none other than the gorgeous young man Qin Wushuang.

The opponent had a gloomy face at this moment, with a strange light ball the size of a head suspended in his hand, and densely packed golden runes were rotating on the surface.

He stared at the ball of light for a long time, as if he had finally confirmed something, and his originally gloomy expression became even colder.

"What a treacherous man you are. You actually hid back in Lingyi City. Do you think I can't find you?" Qin Wushuang smiled coldly. He directly put away the ball of light and planned to chase him into the city.

Unexpectedly, before he could take any action, a very familiar voice suddenly came to his ears. In an instant, his face changed suddenly, and his eyes revealed helplessness that he could not conceal.

Not daring to delay for even a second, he flew towards the city at high speed.

……

"Greetings, great-aunt!" Somewhere inside a restaurant, in a private room on the top floor, Qin Wushuang was standing in the middle of the hall, bowing and greeting the figure in the host seat with an extremely respectful look.

That figure was naturally Qin Liuyue. Just after hearing her voice transmission, Qin Wushuang immediately hurried over to pay his respects.

"Please sit down!" Qin Liuyue looked at the other person and then raised her hand to signal.

"I remember that you went out for traveling before, so why are you here?" Qin Wushuang asked hurriedly after sitting down.

"Just think of it as me just passing by!" Qin Liuyue narrowed her eyes slightly and suddenly asked with a smile.

"If my guess is correct, the opening of the secret realm of Hidden Dragon Lake should be related to you, right?"

"Great aunt, you have a keen eye. This matter does have something to do with me." Qin Wushuang seemed to have thought of something, and replied with an evasive look.

"Now that you know of the existence of the secret realm, and that it is located within the human race's sphere of influence, why didn't you inform your clan first? As a result, all the treasures in it fell into the hands of the human race. Our clan was clearly the discoverer of the secret realm, but we didn't get any benefit at all." Qin Liuyue questioned in a cold voice, immediately scaring the former so much that he turned pale.

“Grandma, please calm down. I was just… just…” Qin Wushuang wanted to explain, but didn’t know where to start, and was stuck for a moment.

"Why, you can't say it?" Qin Liuyue smiled coldly.

"I'll tell you the reason. It's because you are selfish and conceited. On the one hand, you don't want to share the opportunity with your clansmen. On the other hand, you think that your late-stage Refining Void realm strength is enough to control everything. As a result, you have created the current situation.

Selfishness is understandable, after all, it is human nature, but conceit just proves your stupidity.

This is the sphere of influence of the human race. Not to mention you are a Void Refining Realm, even if I come here, I can't do whatever I want. Why do you think you can take advantage of the situation here? And finally successfully get the opportunity in the secret realm?

Do you think that the strong men of the various human factions are all blind? They would allow a demon like you to run wild in their territory?"

"Grandma, I... I know I was wrong..." Although he had the cultivation level of the Void Refining Realm, Qin Wushuang did not dare to complain when faced with the rebuke from his elders.

Besides, what the other party said makes sense. In fact, when we first learned about the existence of the secret realm, we didn't need to inform the tribe. We could just tell our great-aunt and let her take us along. It would definitely be foolproof.

Ultimately, it was because I was too conceited. I thought I could easily get the opportunity in the secret realm and then retreat calmly. However, the result was completely different from my expectations.

But then again, his original approach should not have gone wrong under normal circumstances. Who could have thought that he would meet that human freak, who was only at the Spirit Transformation Stage, but had so many incredible methods, which completely disrupted his plan.

"It's good to know what's going on." Seeing the other party's correct attitude, Qin Liuyue nodded with satisfaction, and then said with some emotion,

"You and Wu Hui are about the same age. If it weren't for your physical condition, you would have already broken through to the fusion realm."

"There's nothing we can do about it." When Qin Wushuang mentioned his physical condition, he shook his head slightly, and his expression instantly became solemn.

"Grandma, you don't know that there is an ice-attributed dragon ball in that secret realm. Together with the inner elixir of the three-legged red crow that I have obtained, the legendary 'Mysterious Ice and Fire Pill' can be refined with these two as the main materials. By then, the chances of breaking through the fusion realm will be greatly increased."

"Ice attribute dragon ball, no wonder!" Qin Liuyue suddenly realized and continued,

"You are really a hidden talent! You actually found the recipe for the 'Mysterious Ice Fire Pill', which is a famous top-level holy medicine in ancient times! In addition, the three-legged red crow is also hard to come by, let alone a fusion realm cultivator. How could you encounter it?"

"It's just a coincidence." Qin Wushuang smiled awkwardly, and then took out an ancient jade slip with a yellowed surface and handed it forward.

"This is the recipe for the 'Mysterious Ice Fire Pill'. Can you please help me check it to see if it is true or false, or if there are any mistakes or omissions?"

"You!" Qin Liuyue understood the other party's thoughts and couldn't help but laugh. She was indeed very interested in the recipe and didn't hesitate to take it and started to browse through it.

After a moment, she withdrew her consciousness and her expression became extremely serious.

"It is indeed worthy of being a top-level elixir that has been famous all over the world since ancient times. It is indeed extraordinary. However, the materials needed to refine this elixir are too rare. First of all, there are two main ingredients. The ice-attributed dragon ball and the three-legged red crow you mentioned can only be regarded as substitutes. Are you sure there is no problem? In addition, the other auxiliary ingredients are also not simple. It is not easy to collect them all."

"We have to give it a try, but the provider of this recipe is a remnant soul that has survived from ancient times. According to him, the success rate should be more than 70%."

"Ancient remnant soul?" Qin Liuyue immediately became interested, but before she could continue asking, Qin Wushuang took the initiative to explain with an angry look on his face.

"You don't know that both the Dragon Ball and the remnant soul I subdued were taken away by that human!"

"..." Qin Liuyue's expression suddenly became meaningful, and she asked back with a smile,

"You are a strong man in the late stage of the Void Refining Realm, but you were defeated by a cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Realm. It seems that the other party is not simple?"

"It's really not simple." Qin Wushuang could not help but hear the teasing in the other party's words. His face couldn't help but get hot, but he still explained.

“My great-aunt doesn’t know that although the other party is only at the Spiritualization Stage, he also has a dragon spirit beast at the middle stage of the Void Refinement Stage by his side.

And this is just one of the reasons. The other party also possesses many incredible methods. For example, he once easily broke through a super formation, which is something I can never do.

In addition, regarding the ancient remnant soul, its strength was not low, but it was of no use at all when dealing with that person, and there was no news of it at all afterwards.

I once planted a slave contract in that remnant soul, but it had no effect. I couldn’t even sense its location. It was as if it had completely disappeared…”

"So that's how it is!" After listening to Qin Wushuang's story, Qin Liuyue's eyes flickered, and her already interested heart became even more excited.

But then he thought of something and sighed.

"I think you should have locked onto the opponent's position, but unfortunately, even so you can't do anything to him, at least not now."

"Why can't I do it?" Qin Wushuang was stunned. Not to mention his own strength, he also had the support of his great-aunt. Wouldn't it be easy to capture that kid? "Gu Yue intervened!" Qin Liuyue shook her head slightly and continued,

"That person is in the City Lord's Mansion right now. Based on my understanding of Gu Yue, not to mention that he is extremely talented, even if he is an ordinary human cultivator, he will not stand idly by."

"Gu Yue from Cangming Sect, isn't she in seclusion? How come she appears here?" Qin Wushuang was stunned.

"Your information is delayed. Half a month ago, the Hidden Dragon Lake Secret Realm was opened, and the other party arrived in Lingyi City almost at the same time as me. It was precisely because of the other party's restraint that I was unable to enter the secret realm to explore." Qin Liuyue shook her head slightly and continued,

"I saw it with my own eyes when you chased that human cultivator away that day. It was also because of Gu Yue's restraint that I was unable to directly help you."

"I didn't expect it to be like this!" Qin Wushuang suddenly realized, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

"Is there no other way?"

"At least not right now, but I don't think he can stay with Gu Yue forever. He will leave someday, and then there will be a chance. It depends on whether you have the patience to wait."

"It's good to have a chance. I've endured all these years and I don't mind continuing to endure it." Qin Wushuang snorted coldly, and his eyes became unusually firm.

"It's good that you have confidence. You don't need to worry too much. I will not stand idly by and will definitely give you an explanation." Qin Liuyue's eyes flashed and she said confidently.

Sure enough, Qin Wushuang was extremely moved after hearing this. With his great-aunt's help, the matter would definitely be foolproof.

"Thank you, great-aunt!"

"We are family, there is no need to be so polite..." Qin Liuyue wanted to say something, but a familiar voice suddenly came to his mind, making him look surprised.

"Interesting, Gu Yue actually wants to talk to me alone!"

"What is she going to do when we talk alone?"

"Who knows? Let's talk about it. I also want to know what the other party is up to." Qin Liuyue smiled with interest.

"You go down first. Also, don't act rashly during this period. If anything happens, I will inform you in time."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" After saying that, Qin Wushuang did not hesitate. He bowed slightly and then turned around and left.

At the same time, Qin Liuyue also stood up, then turned into a beam of light and flew out of the window, disappearing in the blink of an eye...

……

Time flies, and before I knew it, half a month has passed.

During this period, Mo Juren and Xiao Ya had been waiting patiently and never stepped out of the City Lord's Mansion.

He knew nothing about the content of the negotiations between Fairy Gu Yue and Qin Liuyue, but the result was unexpectedly smooth. He didn't even need to ask Senior Qinghua to step in. He just mentioned it, and the other party took the initiative to express that they would not pursue the matter any further.

The opponent of Longzhu also "gave up", or did not mention it at all. Instead, he emphasized the matter of the remnant soul. However, Mo Juren insisted that he had killed it, so the opponent did not insist and also chose to give up.

All in all, the matter was resolved so smoothly, so smoothly that even Mo Juren felt it was a little unreal.

Faced with such a result, Fairy Gu Yue also had a solemn expression on her face, and specifically warned that things were far from over.

Although the other party had some concerns, it was obvious that he had no intention of giving up. He was just waiting, waiting for Mo Juren and Xiao Ya to be alone before taking action.

Mo Juren did not find this result unexpected. After all, he had long learned from the remnant soul how important the Dragon Ball was to Qin Wushuang. How could he give it up easily?

"Does the senior have any suggestions?" In the living room, after listening to Fairy Gu Yue's explanation, Mo Juren asked again.

"There is no better way at the moment. We can only avoid the sharp edge for the time being." Fairy Gu Yue shook her head slightly.

"I remember you mentioned that you are also a Qingming Guardian of Tianyuan City, right? If that's the case, then you'd better stop hanging around outside and return to Tianyuan City immediately. At least there, the other party won't have a chance to attack you."

I have to say that these suggestions are indeed very pertinent. Returning to Tianyuan City is the best option at this moment.

In addition, this time I entered the Xuanwu Realm, firstly to accompany Xiao Ya back to her hometown, secondly to trade about the Qi Ling Stone, and thirdly to go to that secret realm.

The matter of the Awakening Spirit Stone has been resolved, and there are only two goals left. If I leave now, it will be fine for me, but Xiao Ya will definitely be sad.

However, what he didn't expect was that at this moment, Xiaoya actually took the initiative to speak:

"Uncle, you should return to Tianyuan City. As for your hometown, since the death of your father and mother, you have no home anymore. It doesn't make any difference whether you go back or not.

On the contrary, uncle is my only relative. Where you are is Xiaoya’s real home. I don’t want anything to happen to you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she threw herself into Mo Juren's arms, holding him tightly with her arms, as if she was afraid that she would lose him if she let go.

"You!" Mo Juren couldn't help but sigh, and patted the other person's back lightly with his palm.

"Don't worry, I'm not that likely to get into trouble, but your suggestion is right. Returning to Tianyuan City is the safest option right now."

"Uncle, have you decided to go back?" The little girl broke free from his arms and asked happily.

"A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. If you know there is danger, it is better to take shelter for a while." Mo Juren nodded, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly looked at Fairy Gu Yue and said,

"I have already planned to return to Tianyuan City, but Xiaoya needs to return to Lingyue Sect. I wonder if you can ask me to escort her to prevent her from getting into danger."

"It's just a piece of cake. Of course it's no problem. Besides, I haven't met Daoist Fellow Lingyue for a long time. I'd like to take this opportunity to visit you." Fairy Gu Yue nodded slightly.

"In that case, thank you very much, senior!" Hearing the other party's agreement, Mo Juren felt relieved at once. In the following time, he continued to explain some things to Xiao Ya, including secretly telling her the address of the secret place, so that if she had the chance, she could ask other elders to accompany her to explore.

After finishing all this, he did not delay and immediately headed towards the teleportation point under the escort of Fairy Gu Yue.

At the same time, inside a restaurant somewhere in the city, Qin Liuyue suddenly put down the teacup in her hand and looked towards the direction of the teleportation point, with a meaningful look in her eyes. (End of this chapter)
