Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

"I am Xiao Yunhuang, a descendant of the Xiao family, and I am here to meet Senior Tianli!" The moment Xiao Yunhuang saw the little white beast, his expression suddenly changed and he immediately saluted respectfully.

"Hmm!" The little white beast nodded slightly, and it turned out to be the voice of a middle-aged woman.

She didn't pay much attention to him. Instead, her eyes were focused on Mo Juren who was standing beside her. After looking at him carefully for a moment, she suddenly spoke in human language,
"Such a powerful Qi and blood, who are you?"

"My name is Mo Juren, nice to meet you, senior!" Mo Juren also bowed respectfully, but he was confused in his heart. He didn't understand why the other party was interested in him?

As for the title of senior, it is well deserved. Although he looks so "petite and delicate", his strength is unfathomable, at least I can't see it at all.

"You are very good!" The white little beast nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly asked again,
"Are you going to enter the Canggu Secret Realm?"

"That's right!" Xiao Yunhuang nodded and continued to ask,

"Senior, you suddenly appeared, but do you have any instructions?"

"There is indeed something..." The little white beast did not deny it. It suddenly opened its mouth slightly, and a black light shot out. It turned out to be a black round ball about the size of a fist. It spun around and fell directly into Mo Juren's arms.

The surface of the sphere is black and covered with fine unknown spiritual patterns. It looks like some kind of seal. Inside it, one can vaguely feel a faint, intermittent energy fluctuating, and it is extremely weak.

Mo Juren was full of doubts. Firstly, he couldn't figure out what this thing was. Secondly, he didn't understand why the other party would give this thing to him?

Turning to look at Xiao Yunhuang, he found that she was already shocked. After a long while, she asked in disbelief:
"Senior Tianli, this is not your..."

"You guessed it right. It was the daughter I gave birth to not long ago. Unfortunately..." The little white beast sighed and continued to explain after a long while.
"It's a pity that my daughter was born with a defect. No matter how much I spent, I still couldn't hatch her."

"Then you hand it over to us..."

"There is a 'Five-Colored Spring' inside the Canggu Secret Realm. The water flowing out of the spring contains a trace of the power of the five elements. If my daughter is immersed in it for a certain period of time, it may be able to make up for her innate deficiency.

In addition, it is not enough to just soak it in the spring water, it also needs to maintain a constant and suitable temperature, so it is best to hold it in your arms..."

After hearing this explanation, Mo Juren finally understood. It turned out that it was not a gift for him, but a request for his help in hatching it!
But the question is, shouldn't this kind of thing be more appropriately left to Xiao Yunhuang?

He's a grown man, good at fighting and killing, but hatching eggs is really out of place! Are you sure you're not mistaken?
"Senior, this..." Although she was a girl, Xiao Yunhuang was still unmarried, and she was somewhat resistant to hatching eggs, but she still took the initiative to ask.

"Why Brother Mo?"

"The power of Qi and blood is also the key to hatching. This young friend has a strong Qi and blood, so he is the perfect match." The white little beast gave an explanation and continued,
"Also, you don't have to worry, my friend. If you agree to this, no matter whether it succeeds or not, I will not ask you for help in vain..."

At this point, a ball of white light flew out of his mouth again. When the light faded, it turned out to be a white jade slip, which was sent directly to the front.
"Here is a list of treasures that I have collected over the years. You can take your time to look through them. When you come back, tell me what you need. I promise that you can choose three treasures from them."

"Ah, this..." Mo Juren suddenly didn't know what to say. Although he had not checked the contents of the jade slip, he was sure that it would definitely not be simple.

This also means that as long as you agree to help and succeed, the reward you get in the end will be extremely generous.

As for what the other party said, whether it succeeds or not, it will not affect the thank-you gift. Just listen to this. If you really take it seriously, then you have a complete mental problem.

Then again, it's just helping to hatch an egg. As long as you put aside your pride, it's actually not that difficult. It's a piece of cake, and you can get such a generous reward. Why not do it?

Apart from the issue of reward, he was also very interested in the 'Five-Color Spring'. The five colors represented the five elements, which just happened to fit his situation. Maybe there would be an unexpected surprise.

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate and took the jade slip immediately.
"In that case, I agree. However, this is my first time doing this kind of thing, and I really don't have much experience. Could you please tell me if there is anything else I should pay attention to?"

"Okay, very good!" Upon hearing Mo Juren's agreement, the white little beast's crystal eyes suddenly showed a light of joy.

"When you get to the Five-Colored Spring, all you need to do is hold her and immerse yourself in the water, then wait patiently. Don't worry about anything else."

“How long will it take?”

"Each time the Cang Gu Secret Realm is opened, it will last for about three years, but the incubation process does not need that long, three months is enough. If it fails within three months, it means failure, and we should just give up."

"Three months? I'll remember that." Mo Juren nodded again and didn't ask any more questions. However, Xiao Yunhuang on the side suddenly had an idea and asked about the location of the Five-Colored Spring.

The Canggu Secret Realm is vast and the situation inside is extremely complicated. Even though generations of clansmen from the seven ancient clans have entered and exited countless times, each time is only for three years, and they also have to hurry to the core area's 'Prisoner Sky Tower' to obtain the supreme inheritance, so there is no time to explore more areas.

Therefore, everyone's understanding of the secret realm is only partial and incomplete. In addition, the Xiao family is large and there is competition among them. Some important information will not be shared even within the family.

For example, the Five-Colored Spring. Xiao Yunhuang, a member of the Xiao family, had never even heard of it.

Hearing her question, the little white beast spit out another jade slip and said:

"This is a map that is more detailed than the ones you have. It covers some restricted areas and of course the exact location of the Five-Colored Spring. Remember, you can look at the map, but you must not approach those restricted areas. Otherwise, with your strength, you will almost certainly die."

"Don't worry, senior. We will never do anything rash." Xiao Yunhuang happily accepted the jade slip. This was something truly valuable. She immediately made a solemn promise.

"It's good that you know what's going on! I still have things to take care of, so I won't talk too much here. You two must take care on this trip." The white little beast nodded slightly, then turned into a white light and broke through the air, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"I didn't expect to meet Senior Tianli. It's really unexpected. It seems that the mission of this secret realm is very heavy! Of course, compared to me, Brother Mo is the real top priority." Xiao Yunhuang said while looking at Mo Juren with a smile, and there was a hint of amusement in her clear eyes.

"Who exactly is this Senior Tianli?" Mo Juren could hear the sarcasm in the other party's words, but he ignored it and changed the subject directly.

"Senior Tianli is one of the three guardian beasts of my Xiao family. He has the cultivation base of the late stage of the fusion realm and is also the guardian of the 'Holy Valley'.

As for the rest, I can't say much. Anyway, he has a very important position in my Xiao family. In addition, he has existed for a very long time. Even many ancestors in the fusion realm are just juniors in front of him. "

"Holy Valley?" Mo Juren's expression slightly changed. This name sounded complicated. As expected, Xiao Yunhuang shook her head.
"As the name suggests, the Holy Valley is a special valley in the ancestral land. There are important secrets of my Xiao family in it, which even I don't know. Oh, by the way, there is a 'Chaos Spirit List' in the Holy Valley. I know this, but I don't know the rest."

"Is that so?" Mo Juren nodded slightly, but his heart suddenly shook, and he thought of an extremely important thing that he had overlooked before, so he immediately asked,
"You mentioned the Chaos Ten Thousand Spirits List. I wonder if we can get detailed information about the list?"

"What was going on at that time? This is not a secret, so there is no problem." Xiao Yunhuang smiled, and then she flipped her jade hand lightly, and a jade slip emerged.

"What a coincidence! I happen to have a copy of the information on the top 500 on the list. In fact, it's not hard to get. Some large stores out there have backup copies, but the level of detail varies. I'll give this to you."

"Thank you!" Mo Juren took the jade slip immediately, and then he couldn't wait to check it out. After seeing the names of the top three treasures, he sighed.

Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword, he didn’t see this name.

But on second thought, it is normal. After all, there is not enough time, and the Xuantian Immortal Vine is likely not yet mature.

According to the original timeline, it should take about three hundred years for it to bear fruit, but that is in the lower world, and the situation in the spiritual world is different. Han Li's small green bottle will produce spiritual liquid faster, so the time required should be shortened a lot.

As for how long it can be shortened, that is unknown. After all, with Han Li's character, he will definitely not expose the existence of the little green bottle, and who knows what actions he might take.

Of course, what he really cared about at this moment was not these, but another important issue.

That kid has no idea what kind of sensation the birth of the Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword will cause. It is very likely that he will activate it like the original destiny line, which will inevitably attract the covetousness of all forces in the entire spiritual world.

Once people are sent to hunt him down, even with the presence of Fairy Xuanming, it will be of no avail. And when that time really comes, the family members who are accompanying him will inevitably be implicated.

When he thought of this, his heart became heavier.

Of course, all of the above are just his speculations, and they are the worst possible outcomes. How things will actually develop is actually uncertain.
Maybe that guy had already found an excuse to separate from the main group for convenience?

This is not impossible. With that kid's personality, he can definitely do it. If that is true, then it would be a simple matter.

With so many thoughts in his mind, Mo Juren could only sigh in his heart again. No matter how much he thought about it now, he could not do anything!

"Brother Mo, is there anything on your mind?" Xiao Yunhuang suddenly asked, apparently noticing something.

"I just thought of some old things, so I was a little absent-minded, it's nothing." Retracting his thoughts, Mo Juren immediately shook his head, put away the jade slip and continued,

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's continue collecting spiritual herbs and minerals."

"All right……"

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Xiao Yunhuang didn't continue to ask. Then she drove the light of escape again and flew towards a certain direction at a high speed with the other party.

……

After about an hour, the two had "returned with a full load" and reappeared in the square.

Mo Juren couldn't help but sigh that this trip was really not in vain. Not only did he meet Senior Tianli, but he also collected seven or eight kinds of precious spiritual medicines and minerals. It was definitely a fruitful harvest.

He was looking forward to the upcoming trial more and more. After all, compared to the outside world, the ancient secret realm was the real treasure land. Who knew how many opportunities there were in it?

Compared to an hour ago, the number of people on the square has obviously increased a lot, reaching more than 40 people, not far from the total number of more than 50 people.

This time, the two of them did not come forward to communicate with others, but went straight to Xiao Yunling and Grandma Yinlong, sat cross-legged, and then waited patiently.

Time passed little by little, and during this time, some figures walked out of the palace or the mountains and gathered in various places in the square. In total, there were more than fifty people, which should be enough.

Just as everyone was waiting patiently or discussing, a golden light suddenly flew from the direction of the mountain at high speed and flew to a place above the square in the blink of an eye.
When the light faded, what appeared was a man with a dull look on his face and long hair, wearing a loose brocade robe.

Just like the little white beast that Mo Juren had seen before, this person's cultivation was also extremely restrained, and no trace of magical power could be sensed at all. If it hadn't been for him floating in mid-air, he would have been no different from an ordinary person.

Of course, the other party's temperament could not be concealed. He clearly did nothing and was just floating there, but the powerful sense of oppression emanating from him was so clear.

"Welcome to the Third Ancestor!" In an instant, all the descendants of the Xiao family present bowed and paid homage almost in unison, with extremely serious expressions on their faces.

As for the other half of the protectors, they also bowed respectfully, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

Mo Juren was naturally no exception, but he did not have any waves in his heart. He was just a powerful person in the fusion realm. He had seen such people before, so he was very calm.

Of course you can think this way in your heart, but you still have to maintain due respect on the surface. This is a matter of politeness.

"Everyone, get up!" In mid-air, the man with dishevelled hair nodded slightly, his eyes swept around and finally landed on one of them.

"Take a count and see if everyone has arrived."

"Yes, Third Ancestor!" The man naturally did not dare to neglect it. He immediately took out a list and began to check the people in the crowd. Of course, it was mainly the children of the Xiao family, and the protectors were not counted.

After a while, the inventory was finally completed. After making sure that nothing was missed, the man with untied hair immediately waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave the square.

He looked up at the sky, then quickly moved his hands, and a series of magic spells shot out and hit the forty-nine huge stone pillars around him.

Instantly, all the stone pillars were activated one after another, and spiritual light illuminated the world. (End of this chapter)
