Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 853: The Master of a Palace

"Forget about celebrating. Moreover, the fact that I became the master of Xiaoji Palace must be kept secret as much as possible. The fewer people who know about it, the better." Mo Juren did not agree with Bai Xun's proposal. Instead, he gave a very unexpected answer.

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned, even Han Li was no exception.

But he reacted quickly. Although he didn't know why it was like this, judging from his master's usual style of doing things, he was probably setting a trap for someone.

"Mo...Does the Palace Master have any plans?" Someone else came back to his senses and saw a dwarf old man with long white beard and only three feet tall.

The man wrapped in a blue robe was none other than the Grand Elder of Xiaoji Palace, Master Hanli.

"I do have some plans, but I won't mention the details for now. You will know in the future." Mo Juren nodded, but did not elaborate.

"In short, keep this matter as low-key as possible and don't let the news spread outside of Xiaoji Palace."

"I will obey."

Mo Juren is already the master of a palace, and he has come to the position by absolute strength, which represents a completely different meaning.

Having such a powerful palace master in charge will bring many benefits to Xiaoji Palace. Even though some benefits may be shared, everyone is still convinced from the bottom of their hearts.

Once the order is given, naturally no one will object.

Then again, the so-called low-key is relative. At least the core leaders of the sect should know about it, so it is necessary to hold a small gathering.

Mo Juren naturally had no objection to this. After all, he still planned to enter the Xu Ling Palace. According to the rules of Xiaoji Palace, he had to get the consent of most of the Yuanying stage elders.

He handed this matter over to Liu Yunruo, the former Palace Master Liu, to be fully responsible.

Although he lost the position of Palace Master, Mo Juren had no intention of letting him sit idle. He still let him serve as Deputy Palace Master, and he needed to continue to be responsible for many matters in Xiaoji Palace.

There was no way, he didn't want to waste time on such trivial matters.

There is also Han Li, who, as his disciple and a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, naturally became an inner sect elder of Xiaoji Palace.

Of course, no one would object, and they were even eager to welcome him. He was a powerful cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, and was a coveted treasure for any sect.

After communicating for a while, everyone said goodbye, except the great elder, Master Hanli, who did not move.

  After everyone had left and only Mo Juren and Han Li were left, he considered for a moment and said:

"Palace Master, Elder Han, there is something..."

"Grand Elder, please feel free to speak frankly if you have anything to say." Mo Juren's heart moved slightly, he guessed something vaguely, and then replied with a smile.

Seeing this, Master Hanli no longer hesitated and immediately stated his purpose.

“You two may not know that I have been stuck at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage for hundreds of years, but I have never been able to make any further progress.

By now, his life span is almost over, so after years of exploration, he finally found a way to survive from a desperate situation from many ancient materials.

I call it the Cold Flame Marrow Cleansing Method, which uses five different kinds of extremely cold flames to cleanse the marrow and meridians, and to find an opportunity to advance to the God Transformation stage between life and death."

"Cold flame cleansing marrow!" Without waiting for Mo Juren to speak, Han Li on the side showed a look of shock.

He knew very well the horror of the Qianlan Ice Flame. Even though the one in his hand was a seed flame, it still had great power after years of careful cultivation.

In addition, there is the Taiyin True Fire that was obtained not long ago.

In short, each kind of extremely cold flame has extremely terrifying power. It is incredible that the opponent actually intends to gather five kinds of extremely cold flames to cleanse the marrow and meridians at the same time.

  What's the difference between this and seeking death?

"This method is extremely dangerous, and it is only effective for cultivators who practice ice-attributed techniques and possess the flame of extreme cold. Otherwise it will not work." Master Hanli was obviously aware of the pros and cons of it, and couldn't help but sigh. However, at this point, he would never give up no matter how dangerous it was.

Success or failure depends on this one move, and he will not be willing to give it up without taking a chance.

"So, the Great Elder stayed here on purpose at this moment because he wanted us two to help?" Mo Juren did not hide it, but took the initiative to point it out.

"That's right." Master Hanli nodded solemnly.

"Master has refined the Dry Blue Ice Flame himself, so I am extremely sensitive to this flame. In the short time we've been together just now, I have already sensed the aura of this flame from the two of you.

Especially you, Palace Master, the aura of the dry blue ice flame you possess seems to be even more powerful than that of my master.

It just so happens that I have found four monks with the Extreme Cold Flame over the years. If the Palace Master or Elder Han can help, I will be grateful regardless of success or failure. "

"Since five different kinds of extremely cold flames are needed, and you already have the Qianlan Ice Flame, wouldn't it be duplication if you ask two of us to help?" Mo Juren paused and asked again.

"I have thought about this as well..." Master Hanli nodded slightly, then sighed softly.

"The Extreme Cold Flame is extremely rare, how can it be so easy to collect? Master has already spent too much time on this matter, and I really can't waste any more time.

Although the Qianlan Ice Flame is repeated, it is still a brand new cold flame after all, and it also contains powerful extreme cold energy, which is much stronger than just four types. "

  "Is that so?" After hearing the other party's answer, Mo Juren was silent for a moment, and then continued,

"I agree to this matter, but I plan to let my disciple help you. As for how to do it specifically, you two can discuss it."

"Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist." Master Hanli immediately showed an expression of ecstasy and hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

Of course, he could also understand the meaning behind the other party's words. Asking him to negotiate with Han Li was nothing more than bargaining.

After all, nothing in the world happens for no reason. If you ask others for your help, you will have to pay an equal price in the end.

He had been mentally prepared for this and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Han Li naturally understood what his master meant. Since the old man had already agreed, he would not object, but he also needed to strive for sufficient compensation.

So, the two of them started communicating directly.

The process went smoothly, and both of them soon finished the discussion to their satisfaction. They also agreed on the time for action, which would be approximately three years later.

During this period, Master Hanli still needs to make final preparations.

After discussing the matter, he did not stay any longer and immediately said goodbye and left. After he left the hall, Han Li fumbled with the two jade slips in his hand and asked uncertainly:

"Can Cold Flame Marrow Cleansing really succeed?"

  "No." Mo Juren laughed and gave the answer directly without hiding anything. Han Li was stunned. Looking at one of the jade slips in his hand, he immediately felt that it was not fragrant.

"If that's the case, why does Master still..."

"Although it may not succeed, this method still has some value, especially the method of condensing the extremely cold flame. Don't tell me you are not tempted." Mo Juren glanced at the other party and continued,

"These are of course just incidental benefits. My real goal is the Void Spirit Palace. There are too many good things in it, which will be of great benefit to both me and you.

Unfortunately, it is not easy to open this temple. It requires sufficient support.

This Hanli Master is the great elder of Xiaoji Palace, representing a large force, so he naturally needs to be won over. As for whether the cold flame marrow cleansing method can be successful, it is not important. "

There was one thing Mo Juren didn't mention. If Master Hanli wanted to cleanse his marrow with cold flames, he also needed to enter the Xu Ling Palace. In this case, he wouldn't need to take the lead in this matter.

Xiaoji Palace has a rule that unless a disaster occurs, the Void Spirit Hall cannot be opened. Of course, if two-thirds of the Yuanying stage elders agree, it can be opened by force.

But doing so is still somewhat breaking the rules.

  He had just arrived, and even though he had become the Palace Master, he still had to be cautious and could not act recklessly. Wouldn't it be more appropriate for him to let Master Hanli take the lead and agree reluctantly?

"Xuling Palace!" Han Li instantly thought of the three magnificent palaces outside, and then thought of the Xutian Palace in the Chaos Star Sea, and became more and more curious.

Especially since the master mentioned the benefits, which are things that even an old man would care about, it’s exciting just to think about them.

  Thinking of this, he immediately asked, and Mo Juren nodded slightly.

“Of course, the two are related, and they are both related to the founder of Xiaoji Palace, the mysterious Ice Soul Fairy. As for the specifics, I don’t know much.

As for the benefits, it's okay to tell you. First, there is a whole vein of black jade in the Void Spirit Hall, all of which have reached the level of tens of thousands of years. Secondly, there are some special things inside that can further enhance the Taiyin True Fire you just obtained."

"So that's how it is!" Han Li was overjoyed when he heard that he could increase the Taiyin True Fire.

Different from the Qianlan Ice Flame, the Taiyin True Fire is the real treasure.

As one of the three famous true fires in the cultivation world, its fame and potential for future growth far exceed the former.

Especially his dry blue ice flame was just a seed flame. Although it had been carefully cultivated for many years and had grown a lot, it could not be compared with the Taiyin True Fire.

As they spoke, the two of them also stood up and walked out of the hall.

  When he reached the door, Mo Juren suddenly thought of something and said again:

"This Xiaoji Palace has a long history, and the remaining skills and secret techniques are countless, and their value is immeasurable. Now that you are one of the elders, you can enter the Sutra Library at will. Take advantage of this time to study it carefully, and at the same time, copy as many as possible to fill our own secret library with its foundation."

"Disciple understands." Han Li nodded. In fact, he had already thought of all this. He would do the same in the future without his master's reminder.

"How long do you plan to stay in Xiaoji Palace?" After collecting his thoughts, Han Li asked another question of concern. After all, Dajin was not a place to stay for long, and he would have to leave eventually.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it will take about ten years." Mo Juren suddenly looked into the distance and murmured.

  "Ten years!" Han Li pondered for a moment, looking at his master's back, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

"It seems that Master really has a plan. Is something going to happen ten years later?"

……

The appearance of Mo Juren, who instantly became the new Palace Master, caused quite a stir in the inner circle of Xiaoji Palace.

It was so sudden and so bizarre that everyone was caught off guard.

Almost everyone wanted to object at the first moment, but after understanding the situation, especially the other party's terrifying strength and the support of the four major families.

The thoughts that everyone had originally wanted to object to disappeared.

  It is really that Mo Juren is too outstanding. He is far inferior to Master Hanli, the strongest person in the sect. It is difficult to find such a palace master even with a lantern. How could he continue to oppose?

Therefore, not long after, these Yuanying stage elders changed their minds and completely acknowledged Mo Juren's identity as the new palace master.

Of course, this matter was only maintained within the core circle. The other disciples in Xiaoji Palace did not know the situation and still believed that Liu Yunruo was the palace master.

All the Yuanying stage leaders chose to agree, and no one tried to explain.

As a result, the matter passed in an extremely low-key manner and did not cause the slightest ripple in Xiaoji Palace.

……

Time passed slowly, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three years, apart from successfully refining the Peiying Pill, the master and disciple chose to practice hard in seclusion for the rest of the time, and their progress was extremely obvious.

Especially Mo Juren, because his main skill is "Ice Soul Mysterious Skill", which complements the extremely cold environment here and is simply perfect for it.

Han Li's strength also improved significantly. After all, although the attributes of his skills could not match, he had a lot of pills and could eat as much as he wanted, without being restricted by the environment at all.

In addition, Mo Juren met a familiar person again, who was Su Huo, who was rescued by him in the Futu Secret Realm and sent to Xiaoji Palace to lurk.

His original plan was to let the other party sneak into Xiaoji Palace first. If he failed to seize the position of Palace Master, the other party would be able to take him by surprise.

However, things went too smoothly and the other party was not of any use.

So, he simply let it continue to lurk. Maybe it would be useful in the future, or maybe it wouldn't be useful. Anyway, it would not be too late to contact it when he needed it.

One day three years later, Master Hanli, who had completed his preparations, came to Mo Juren's residence again, accompanied by four other people.

Two of them were not strangers, as they had known each other for the past three years. They were Bai Mengxin and Ouyang Yue.

The former was from the Bai family and was Bai Yaoyi's cousin, and her cultivation aptitude was no worse than hers. On the other hand, Ouyang Yue was from the Ouyang family, and despite his family background, his own aptitude was also very strong.

The two were "Cold Flame Monks" specially selected and fully trained within the Xiaoji Palace, and they controlled the "Wind-leaving Ice Flame" and the "Black Water Ice Flame" respectively.

The other two were much more unfamiliar, one was an old woman with white hair and beard, and the other was a monk in a gray robe with long eyebrows.

Through the introduction of Master Hanli, we learned that these two people are famous strong men in the Far North. They are Madam Long from the "Liucui Sect" and Master Mojiu, a Buddhist cultivator.
