Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Time flies. Several months have passed since we set off from Tianyuan City.

Because of the presence of the Hidden Void Pattern, the flight was smooth. Occasionally, they encountered some ancient beasts, but most of them were not very strong and did not pose a threat even if they did not conceal themselves.

On this day, the situation finally changed. For some unknown reason, the white dragon boat, which was flying, suddenly stopped.

"What happened?" Several figures appeared on the deck outside the pavilion, asking Xue Rou, but she did not answer. Instead, she raised her hand slightly and pointed to a certain place ahead.

Looking in the direction the other party pointed, everyone's expression changed drastically. In a valley about ten miles ahead, there were seven enormous creatures, each over a hundred feet tall.

This is undoubtedly an ancient beast living in the wilderness. We have encountered many on the way here, but they were all of low level and far inferior to these ahead.

These seven ancient beasts were not ordinary low-level beings. Judging from the powerful aura they exuded, they were all at least at the Refinement stage.

These ancient beasts come in various shapes and sizes; some resemble lizards, others giant turtles, and still others are birds or giant pythons...

This is also a positive aspect; at least they are not of the same kind, and therefore each goes its own way.

"Look, what's that!" Jiao Wan'er suddenly exclaimed. Fortunately, the formation on the white dragon boat had the effect of shielding sound, otherwise, everyone would have been exposed immediately.

Clearly realizing her mistake, Jiao Wan'er's cheeks flushed red, and a look of guilt appeared on her face.

Instead of blaming her, everyone was quite curious. This girl wasn't usually the carefree type, so why did she suddenly lose her composure?

What exactly did he see?
Everyone looked ahead and noticed that in the center of the area surrounded by the seven ancient beasts, in a very hidden place, a strange little tree was growing.

The sapling was only three feet tall, its entire body was blood red, and its top was covered with dense branches. Among the blood-red leaves, three strange spiritual fruits hung.

The fruit was extremely peculiar, rhomboid in shape, about the size of an adult's fist, with a layer of blood-red light permeating its surface, and densely covered with strands of golden spiritual patterns.

"This...this couldn't be the legendary Golden Blood Tree!"

"It should be. Moreover, it is said that the Golden Blood Tree only bears fruit after more than 20,000 years, and the Golden Blood Fruit obtained is the main ingredient for refining the 'True Marrow Pill,' and its value is immeasurable..."

"The Golden Blood Fruit can also be swallowed directly. It can cleanse the marrow and refine the bloodline, making it especially valuable for the demon race, whose foundation is their bloodline. These ancient savage beasts are no exception, no wonder they're fighting over it..."

"If it were just one, it wouldn't be so difficult for us to deal with it if we joined forces. But seven ancient beasts at the Void Refinement level are far too powerful, far beyond the reach of cultivators like us at the Nascent Soul stage..."

"This... if we can't wait, isn't there still the captain? Maybe he has a solution..."

"That's true. The captain is indeed a prodigy, far beyond what we can compare to. I remember when we first entered the Wilderness, the captain was only in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and his strength was already so terrifying. Let alone now..."

"That's not necessarily true. It's true that the captain is powerful, but he's not truly invincible. Everyone knows about the situation with the ancient beasts. Their true combat strength can't be simply measured by their cultivation level, and there are a total of seven of them..."

"Brother Lu is right, we really can't be careless. But speaking of which, where is the captain? Why hasn't he come out?"

"..."

After some discussion, everyone realized that all the other team members were gathered on the deck, but their captain was nowhere to be seen.

"This..." Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The airship suddenly stopped. The captain couldn't possibly not have sensed it. Why hadn't he come out? Could something have happened?
There must be a reason for this, but what exactly happened is unclear.

However, everyone was very tacit and tactful, so they didn't disturb each other and waited patiently for a while. When it was time for them to come out, they would naturally come out.

In addition, the White Dragon Boat comes with a top-notch shielding array, and with the concealment of the hidden space pattern, there is no need to worry about being detected by those ancient savage beasts ahead in the short term.

Just as everyone expected, after a short while, accompanied by a five-colored spiritual light, Mo Juren's figure was revealed.

"What, in your eyes, am I some kind of monster?" At this moment, Mo Juren suddenly looked at a team member surnamed Liu and asked with a half-smile.

"Um, I was just using an analogy, I didn't mean anything by it." The team member smiled awkwardly and explained repeatedly, looking quite embarrassed.

"Alright, just kidding." Mo Juren was only teasing and wasn't really angry. He immediately waved his hand with a smile. At this moment, Zhou Yuan, who was standing to the side, also got back to the main topic:
"The captain should be aware of the situation ahead. What are your plans?"

"Since we've encountered such a rare and precious treasure as the Golden Blood Fruit, there's no reason for us to let it go." Mo Juren's expression suddenly turned playful.
"Moreover, there are seven ancient savage beasts at the Void Refinement level, which are all treasures!"

"What... Captain, you... you don't mean you're going to make a move on those seven ancient beasts, this..." Zhou Yuan was speechless, and the others around him were equally dumbfounded.

Originally, we thought that if everyone pooled their wisdom and efforts, we might be able to come up with a way to snatch the spiritual fruit, but we never expected that the captain would be so crazy!
I know you are powerful, far surpassing others of your level, but you can't be too outrageous. It's one thing to steal spirit fruits, but to hunt down seven ancient beasts at the Void Refinement level is another.

This...this is absolutely suicidal! "Captain, are you...are you sure you're not joking? This is no joke..." Zhou Yuan thought he had misheard and asked again tentatively. However, upon hearing this, Mo Juren shook his head slightly, his expression unchanged.
"Don't worry, I have the confidence to say this. However, you are too weak to be of much help, so please take your flying boat and leave first. We will meet up with you again after we have dealt with these ancient beasts."

"Let us go first, this..."

"Alright, no need to worry, you can set off now..."

Mo Juren urged again, his attitude unusually firm. So no one said anything more, and Xue Rou immediately took control of the flying boat, bypassing the area where the seven demonic beasts were located and flying away.

Mo Juren naturally stayed behind alone, but he remained hidden and did not reveal any trace of his presence, so the ancient beasts in front of him were still unaware of his presence.

After observing carefully for a while, he suddenly had a thought and summoned both Ancestor Chi Yun and Zi Dian.

This is the source of his confidence. Although Ancestor Chi Yun only has a remnant soul left, his divine sense is still powerful, and he can still suppress the ancient beasts of the Void Refinement level for the time being.

Zi Dian had already reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm, and as a descendant of a True Spirit, he was capable of fighting against someone at the late-stage of the Void Refinement realm without being at a disadvantage.

With the cooperation of both, plus their own assistance, dealing with these ancient beasts is a piece of cake.

In short, taking down these seven ancient beasts at the Void Refinement level seemed unbelievable to others, but it was no challenge for him at all.

As for letting the other team members leave first, there were other considerations. First, the target was too strong and they couldn't help much. Second, they didn't want to expose the existence of Ancestor Chi Yun.

"What a life of toil!" The moment he appeared, Patriarch Chi Yun understood everything after just a brief glance and immediately complained in an annoyed tone.

As for Zidian, he also saw something, but he didn't complain at all. Instead, his eyes flashed with electricity, and he looked eager to try and couldn't wait to take action.

“It seems there’s no need for me to explain. We’ll join forces later and try to take down these seven ancient beasts... But before that, I need to sneak in and steal the Golden Blood Tree. It won’t be too late to make a move then…” Mo Juren didn’t hesitate and immediately explained his plan.

"It's actually a Golden Blood Tree, and it even bore fruit. You're incredibly lucky, kid. It's just a pity..." Ancestor Chi Yun's eyes flashed with envy, then he shook his head slightly and sighed softly.

"What's a pity?" Mo Juren immediately grasped the key point in the other party's words and quickly asked.

"How much do you know about this Golden Blood Tree?" Ancestor Chi Yun had obviously anticipated this question, and his expression remained unchanged. Instead, he smiled and asked in return.

“The Golden Blood Tree!” Mo Juren thought for a moment, then replied.
"There are not many records about the Golden Blood Tree in the ancient books. It is only known that it is a special spiritual plant that can absorb spiritual objects with metal attributes to grow. At first, it is extremely ordinary and looks like a weed. It will only show some differences after more than 10,000 years, but it is still inconspicuous. It is not until it flowers and bears fruit after another 10,000 years that it truly shows its divine side. The Golden Blood Fruit it bears is the main ingredient for refining the 'True Marrow Pill'..."

"It seems there aren't many records about the Golden Blood Fruit in the cultivation world these days. Of course, it's also possible that the books you obtained are too rudimentary. The Golden Blood Fruit can be used to refine more than just the 'True Marrow Pill'," Ancestor Chi Yun said, shaking his head slightly.

"At least in my memory, there are three kinds of pills that can be refined from the Golden Blood Fruit, and each of them can be called a sacred product. In particular, the 'Ancestral Blood Spirit Pill' has the miraculous effect of greatly evolving bloodlines, and it is a treasure that all cultivators who rely on bloodlines as their foundation seek out."

The only pity is that it's not very useful to humans, but all demon races and other races, those whose foundation is bloodline, will still go crazy for it even if they reach the Integration Realm.

"I see." Mo Juren nodded slightly, thinking to himself that although he was human, the path of cultivation he followed was a mixture of human and demon, and was based on bloodline.

In this way, he could actually use the 'Ancestral Blood Elixir'.

However, on the other hand, with the aid device, evolving his bloodline is not a problem, but if there are other shortcuts, he will not refuse them.

Refining bloodlines with auxiliary tools is too difficult, requiring a lot of time, effort, and resources to collect various rare resources. If this pill can play a similar role, it will save a lot of time.

Of course, such pills can usually only be taken once and cannot be effective indefinitely, so auxiliary devices are still the mainstay. But even if it's only once, he's happy to accept it.

Compared to the difficulty of refining bloodlines with auxiliary tools, it is only a matter of refining a single pill. Presumably, the amount of main and auxiliary ingredients needed is ultimately limited.

"Does Senior know the formula and method for refining this medicine? What are the other two types of medicine that can be refined?" Putting aside his thoughts, Mo Juren asked again.

"You're really greedy, kid!" Ancestor Chi Yun chuckled, and without hesitation, immediately explained.

"I naturally know the method of refining the Ancestral Blood Spirit Pill, and I will write it down for you later. However, the more than ten kinds of auxiliary medicines required are also extremely rare and not so easy to find."

Besides, you're a human, so there's no use in you making this!
The other two types of pills would be more suitable, as their effects are more focused on improving physical constitution. Perhaps you could refine them...

No, that's not right either. Your physique is just as incredibly strong, so it doesn't seem to be of any use either..."

At this point, Patriarch Chi Yun suddenly fell silent. This guy was just too abnormal. What was a top-tier sacred medicine for others had no effect on him.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say! (End of Chapter)
