Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

"Qin Wushuang, it's him!" Mo Juren narrowed his eyes as he looked at the familiar figure in front of him. He hadn't expected to meet him again so soon after their parting on Immortal Spirit Island.

However, compared to the last time, he was in a completely different state of mind at this moment.

Zi Dian has fully recovered and even reached a higher level of cultivation, reaching the peak of the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm. Moreover, with his powerful bloodline talent, he can easily contend with late-stage powerhouses.

Qin Wushuang was only at the peak of the late stage, so there was a gap, but not a big one. Besides, he had himself and Ancestor Chiyun assisting him. If they really fought, it was uncertain who would win.

Therefore, upon seeing the other party, he did not try to avoid it at all. Instead, he calmly observed the other party while pondering the purpose of their visit.

Could it be for the Blood Soul Child?
Suddenly, such a thought arose in his mind, and after thinking it over, this was the most likely possibility.

As for the purpose, the fact that they haven't given up even after three years suggests that it's not just about revenge; there are probably other reasons or things they value.

Could it be for the Evil Dragon Cauldron? Or perhaps for the inheritance of the Evil Dragon Clan?

Mo Juren narrowed his eyes. If it was really as he guessed, then it would be interesting. However, Xuehunzi had already died at his hands, and the Heavenly Fox Clan and the lineage of the Carefree Ancestor were destined to have their efforts come to nothing.

As he was pondering, Qin Wushuang in front of him inevitably noticed his presence as well. When their eyes met, surprise immediately appeared in Qin Wushuang's eyes.

However, he quickly regained his senses, his gaze suddenly becoming extremely sharp, and his boundless hatred was not concealed at all.

"Still want to make a move? Heh!" Mo Juren sneered. Now that he had many trump cards, he had nothing to fear. He suddenly raised a slightly mocking smile at the other party, and then rode away in his escape light.

"Damn it!" How could Qin Wushuang not see the obvious sarcasm? He wanted nothing more than to tear him to pieces, but he managed to restrain himself in an instant.

He could not possibly let go of the grudge for blocking his way, but although this place was located on the edge of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, it was still human territory, and there were many human forces in the surrounding area.

Sects like the Cangming Sect and the Zixiao Sword Sect all have experts at the Integration Realm level in charge.

There is a clear sense of caution in this regard. After all, the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range is quite powerful, but it happens to border the territory of the human race, so it is natural to be on guard at all times.

Therefore, it's best to keep a low profile.

Of course, there is an even more important point: many years ago, by chance, he obtained a heaven-defying opportunity and saw hope of breaking through to the Integration Realm again.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to focus on cultivation and improve strength as soon as possible, and not to be distracted by other things.

As for revenge, ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, it's never too late. Once I successfully break through to the Integration Realm, dealing with the other party will be a piece of cake.

"Let's see how long you can stay carefree?" Qin Wushuang sneered, but without further delay, he immediately broke through the air and rushed into the depths of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains.

……

"They didn't catch up!" In mid-air, Mo Juren stopped his escape and turned to look behind him, a look of surprise on his face.

He was already prepared for a major battle, but to his dismay, the other side simply entered the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range without any intention of pursuing him.

Mo Juren froze in mid-air, his mind filled with even more doubt.

It should be understood that the enmity between the two sides was not just about obstructing the path. Afterwards, the forced seizure of the Heavenly Blade Ancestor and the serious injury to Zidian, one thing after another, had already created a deep-seated hatred that could not be resolved at all.

He absolutely refused to believe that the other party would have a change of heart and give up on retaliating against him.

But the question is, why did the other party choose to give up when this was clearly the best opportunity?

There must be some unknown reason behind this, which Mo Juren couldn't figure out for the time being, but he didn't care. Since the other party didn't make a move, he naturally didn't bother to dwell on it anymore and simply left.

Now he is full of confidence. No matter what schemes or plots the other party may have, he is confident that he can deal with them calmly and effectively.

……

After several twists and turns, Mo Juren returned to Tianyuan City once again.

He immediately took out his communication token and contacted Xiao Yunhuang. After a brief exchange, he flew rapidly towards the market.

Upon returning to Tianhua Tower, Zeng Lu was immediately summoned.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Zeng Lu bowed respectfully, presenting a storage bag as he did so.

"Everything is inside. Besides the 'Mu Kui Sha' and 'Han Xin Shi' that you specifically mentioned, there are also some other types."

"Mu Kui Sha and Han Xin Shi!" Mo Juren's eyes lit up. These two were key materials for refining the Silver Moon Bloodline, and extremely rare, belonging to the kind of obscure materials that were hard to come by and difficult to find. "Several months ago, a four-sect auction was held in Yitian City, and these two materials happened to be available. I had one of the temple's retainers buy them on my behalf. The price was a bit high, but considering that they were urgently needed by the Lord, I agreed to the transaction."

"You did the right thing." Mo Juren nodded approvingly. With his current wealth, why would he care about the price? The key was to successfully buy what he needed.

After taking everything out and checking each item, he immediately showed a satisfied expression, and then fell into deep thought again.

Now that Mu Kuisha and Hanxin Stone have been found, along with the resources collected in the past, the resources needed to refine the Silver Moon Bloodline are almost complete, with only the spiritual herbs remaining.

Compared to the former, spiritual herbs are actually the easiest to obtain. After all, the spiritual herbs he needs are not very old, mostly a little over a thousand years old. They might be troublesome in the human world, but they are not so rare in the spirit world, and most of them can be bought in the market.

Of course, there are also some less common ones that can't be bought on the market. In those cases, you should ask Min Xin'er for help. With the Min family's resources, it shouldn't be difficult to find some special spiritual herbs.

"Have you sought out the Min family for these two spiritual herbs: thirteen 'Spirit Nether Grass' plants aged 1,100 years, and thirteen 'Illusory Heaven Fruits' of the same age?" Mo Juren asked again, putting aside his thoughts.

"I inquired with Manager Min of Yuanminglou, and he mentioned that the Min family does indeed possess these two spiritual herbs. However, due to their extreme rarity and the high difficulty of cultivation, they are usually only used internally or offered as tribute to the Spirit Emperor, and are not sold to outsiders." Zeng Lu shook his head helplessly, and upon hearing this, Mo Juren's expression froze.
"Not for sale?"

"It's not absolutely not for sale. If the master personally seeks help from Fellow Daoist Min of the Pill Hall, as a direct descendant of the Min family, there shouldn't be any problem."

"In that case, I'll handle this matter personally." Mo Juren nodded slightly, then suddenly remembered something and immediately changed the subject.

"Do you know about the 'Qi of Heavenly Yang'?"

"The Qi of Heavenly Yang? I seem to have heard of it somewhere before..." Zeng Lu paused, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said.
“I remember now. There is an ancient book in the secret vault that records information about the Heavenly Yang Qi. It is a special spiritual energy that has extreme Yang attributes but contains endless vitality.”

"You haven't wasted your time these past few years. Not only has your cultivation improved a lot, but your mastery of a great deal of knowledge has also exceeded expectations."

"In the end, it's all thanks to Your Majesty's support; otherwise, how could I have had such an opportunity?" Zeng Lu smiled sheepishly, thinking to himself, "Your Majesty needs so many precious resources, so as your subordinate, I naturally have to learn more about them."

"My lord mentioned this 'Heavenly Yang Qi,' is there some mission involved?"

"You're quite clever; you understand immediately," Mo Juren chuckled and continued.
"In addition to continuing to collect resources, we will also inquire about information about 'Heavenly Yang Qi'."

"Rest assured, my lord, I will do my utmost..."

"It's alright, it's not something we urgently need, just do our best..."

"..."

As the two were talking, Xiao Yunhuang arrived as promised.

Upon seeing the other party, Zeng Lu first bowed respectfully, and then tactfully took his leave.

Xiao Yunhuang sat down opposite her with practiced ease, then with a light wave of her slender hand, a crimson jade bottle, half a foot tall, appeared amidst a flash of red light.

"The Blazing Essence Pill?" Before the other party could explain, Mo Juren made his own guess.

"This is indeed the pill." Xiao Yunhuang nodded, her fair face beaming with a smile.
"You don't know this, but Master Huo Rong refined more than a hundred 'Blazing Essence Pills' in total, and Sister Ye and I directly bid for nearly half of them, which caused quite a stir that day."

That's why we were targeted. On our way out, we were blocked by several Nascent Soul stage experts, but we were not to be trifled with, and ultimately emerged victorious.

"They directly snatched nearly half of the Blazing Essence Pills, which means they stole opportunities from others. It's no wonder they're being targeted." Mo Juren was speechless. These two women were truly crazy.

"Since it's an auction, the highest bidder wins. We didn't break the rules, and we even paid a considerable price. Why are those guys so dissatisfied? Why do they want to kill us and steal our treasure?"
The situation was urgent at the time, and to avoid attracting more covetous individuals, we left quickly after our victory. Otherwise, we risked incurring the consequences of offending both the Xiao and Ye families.

"If you two reveal your identities directly, they will probably just leave." Mo Juren chuckled. Offending two super families at the same time would have obvious consequences.

"Sister Ye is fine, but my Xiao family..." Xiao Yunhuang shook her head slightly. Although the Xiao family is one of the seven ancient clans and has great strength, it is also a hidden family and does not have much fame.

He paused, then abruptly changed the subject.

"Now that you've acquired the elixir, do you plan to go into seclusion next?"

"I do have such a plan, but before that, I need to go to the Pill Hall to find Min Xin'er and buy some spiritual herbs. It won't be too late for me to go into seclusion after that."

"A spiritual herb?" Xiao Yunhuang looked slightly surprised.

"It seems this medicinal herb is quite rare; otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths to find the Min family." (End of Chapter)
