Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

"It's very simple, I need your help to find some materials." Upon hearing the other party's question, the white-haired old woman did not hide anything and answered directly.

"Materials?" Mo Juren's expression shifted, his gaze sweeping over the beams of spiritual light before him once more, and he immediately formed a guess.

"What you need, senior, must be something extraordinary, right?"

"You should know how precious these things are. They are not ordinary items to be exchanged for." The white-haired old woman chuckled, and with a flick of her wrist, a dark gray jade slip appeared.

"Everything I need is in here. There are quite a lot of them. Just collect them as you see fit, and you only need to find any three of them."

"Any three?" Mo Juren was slightly surprised. After taking the jade slip, he immediately immersed himself in it. After reading the information, he was shocked.

"Yama Stone, Reincarnation Jade, Heaven-Reaching Divine Wood... These are all items that have long been extinct in the cultivation world. Let alone the three of them, it is extremely difficult to even encounter one of them. Are you sure you are not joking, senior?"

"These rare treasures I offer are equally rare, and there are six of them in total. There seems to be nothing wrong with using them for trade, is there?" The white-haired old woman asked with a half-smile, her eyes slightly narrowed.

“Theoretically, it’s certainly not a problem, but the item you need is too rare, and I really have no confidence.” Mo Juren’s mind stirred slightly, and he vaguely guessed what was going on, so he didn’t budge an inch.

Seeing his appearance, the white-haired old woman was not angry at all. Instead, she looked at the old ancestor Chi Yun beside her and burst into laughter:

"It seems that what you said earlier was true. This kid is really cunning. He probably guessed what I was thinking a long time ago."

"Those materials in the jade slip are so difficult to find, let alone a junior in the Nascent Soul stage. Even a powerhouse above the Integration stage might not be able to find them. Why make things difficult for him, fellow Daoist?" Ancestor Chi Yun shook his head slightly.

"Alright then." The white-haired old woman's smile faded, and she looked at Mo Juren again.
"I won't make things difficult for you. Please help me find these materials as much as possible, the more the better, and there is no time limit. But if you really can't find three of them, one is fine too."

"One kind?" Mo Juren thought for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

“In that case, I agree.”

"Very good." The white-haired old woman was very satisfied. Without saying anything more, she waved her hand, and all six beams of light floating in front of her flew into the other party's arms.

"By the way, there are quite a few valuable things in that secret realm, such as various special minerals, etc. I naturally don't care for them, but they should still be of some value to you." As she spoke, she took out another blank jade slip, made some inscriptions, and then threw it to the other party.

"This is a detailed map of the secret realm. There are more than ten marked locations, all of which contain good mineral veins. In particular, one of them, if my senses are not mistaken, should be the extremely rare 'Xunfeng Stone'. If you are willing, go and dig for it."

"Wind Stone? That's a pity, it's a top-grade wind-attribute spiritual material." Mo Juren's face lit up with joy, but then he suddenly remembered something and quickly asked again.

"Thank you for the reminder, senior. However, the entrance to this secret realm is quite troublesome, and it is very inconvenient to enter and exit."

"Ah, this matter! It was my oversight." The white-haired old woman suddenly looked enlightened, turned to look at the entrance, examined it carefully, and then asked,

"The methods you used were quite good. Was it your doing?"

“He is one of my teammates.” Mo Juren said, waving to Xue Rou in the distance. The latter was taken aback, but quickly came to her senses and flew over.

"Junior Xue Rou from the Star God Sect greets the two seniors." Xue Rou bowed respectfully, her demeanor exuding elegance and grace.

"Star God Sect?" The white-haired old woman's eyes flickered slightly, then she nodded gently.

"Your skill in formations is quite impressive!"

"It's just some trickery, nothing to brag about, senior," Xue Rou quickly denied.

"You're being modest. That 'Sumeru Extermination Formation' is not simple. Even for a Nascent Soul Realm expert, if they don't know the proper method and just rely on brute force, it won't be easy to break through."

"For a mere Nascent Soul stage girl like you to be able to temporarily open the entrance with the help of a special treasure is already quite remarkable." The white-haired old woman praised her without reservation, and even though Xue Rou's mental cultivation was quite good, she couldn't help but blush.

Seeing this, she stopped teasing and got down to business, "I have already investigated and mastered the method to open the entrance, so I will teach it to you two. Once you have mastered it, you can enter and exit freely..."

As she spoke, she began to transmit her thoughts in detail.

Mo Juren and Xue Rou were overjoyed. If they could freely enter and exit an unknown secret realm located deep in the wilderness, its value would far exceed that of some spiritual mineral veins.

After listening, the two expressed their gratitude repeatedly.

"It's nothing, no need to be so polite." The white-haired old woman waved her hand, then looked at Yue Li and softly comforted her for a few moments before changing the subject.

"Now that this matter is settled, I will not stay any longer. Also, the wilderness is dangerous, so you must be careful."

After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it lightly, which directly tore through the void, and then beckoned the ancestor Chi Yun to enter it one after another.

The void rift closed rapidly in the next instant, and the two disappeared completely.

Only then did Mo Juren finally understand why the other party had arrived so quickly; it was only natural that they possessed such abilities.

"Captain, shall we go in?" Just then, his teammates flew over from a short distance away and asked with expectant looks on their faces.

When the white-haired old woman talked about the situation in the secret realm, she didn't hide anything except for the final transmission of the secret technique. Everyone naturally heard it all and was very excited to learn that there were many rare mineral veins inside.

Even though they couldn't get any meat, everyone was quite satisfied with the soup.

"How is everyone recovering? Especially you two?" Mo Juren didn't answer immediately, but asked with concern, his gaze falling directly on Jiao Wan'er and Su Li.

These two were only at the Nascent Soul stage and had previously fallen into a coma. Fortunately, they are now awake and it seems there is no major problem, but the aura within them is still somewhat frivolous.

"I'm fine for now, but it's still early. It will take some more time for me to fully recover," Jiao Wan'er replied softly, a hint of guilt in her expression, probably because she felt she had held me back.

"It's good that you're alright. There's no rush; you can recover slowly." Mo Juren nodded slightly, then looked at the others again, noticing their expressions, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"It seems everyone is quite eager! Very well, let's go in then. Also, once inside, Fellow Daoist Xue and I have prepared a surprise for everyone." Mo Juren said, then looked at Xue Rou, who understood immediately and flew to the entrance.

"Surprise!" Everyone looked at each other, their anticipation growing stronger.

Xue Rou was very fast. After flying close, she first retrieved all of her 'Qiankun Ruyi Needles', and the entrance to the passage that had been opened quickly disappeared.

Seeing this, his expression remained unchanged. He immediately moved his hands rapidly, inserting all the mysterious runes into the various node positions.

This was naturally the secret method taught by the white-haired old woman. It was quite miraculous that when the runes came into contact with the nodes, they did not encounter any resistance at all, but instead merged directly into them.

Just moments later, all the nodes of the fusion runes were lit up, and the entrance to the previously closed passage reappeared.

It is clear that, compared to the last time it was opened, this time the entrance to the passage is extremely stable, without the slightest fluctuation.

Mo Juren understood that this was probably the correct way to open the passage; forcibly opening it before would naturally result in instability.

Of course, this entrance passage is temporary and will close again after a short while, but that's okay, you can easily open it again when you come out.

This is so much more convenient.

With his thoughts back to the present, he did not hesitate and immediately led everyone to fly back into the passage.

Sure enough, just moments later, the entrance also vanished. (End of Chapter)
