Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 858 Mysterious Crystal

Ye Long continued to mine the black jade. At this time, he no longer thought about the chalcedony. He was only thinking about how to make the most of the Yin Ling water to get more harvests.

Mo Juren stared in a daze at the sky blue chalcedony floating in front of him.

There is no need to elaborate on the fact that the Ten Thousand Year Black Jade is the main material for refining his life-saving magic weapon, the Ice Soul Black Crystal Sword, but he does not know much about the marrow of the Black Jade.

He had Cold Marrow in his hand. There was only one word difference between the two, but they were obviously different things.

"Sister, do you know what this thing is used for?" Retracting his gaze, Mo Juren looked directly at Liu Yunruo who was standing beside him. As a cultivator from Xiaoji Palace, she must know more about cold-attributed spiritual materials.

  Sure enough, the latter heard the question and replied immediately without thinking,

"Jadeite is derived from black jade. You should be aware of the latter's function, especially the ten thousand year grade one. It is definitely one of the top cold attribute spiritual materials. As long as a small amount is added to any magic weapon, it will immediately have icy magical powers, and the amazing cold air it emits can hurt people invisibly.

As for the marrow of the black jade, it is no longer just a material for refining equipment. Of course, it can also be mixed into magic weapons, and its effect is stronger than that of the ten thousand year black jade.

But if it is used in this way, it would be a bit of a waste of talent.”

"Are there any other uses?" Mo Juren suddenly became interested.

"Junior brother, have you ever heard of the 'Ice Jade Body'?" Liu Yunruo asked with a smile.

"Ice Jade Body?" Mo Juren was stunned for a moment. Of course he knew about this top-level ice-attribute physique. His disciple Yan Wanxi happened to possess this physique. Combined with the "Ice Soul Profound Art", the other party's cultivation speed was unparalleled. He had already surpassed the few young disciples who had joined his sect earlier.

"As far as I know, the Ice Jade Body is born naturally. Why do you suddenly mention this? Could it be related to the Mysterious Jade Marrow?"

  "It is indeed related." Liu Yunruo nodded slightly and continued,

"This Mysterious Jade Marrow has the effect of sublimating ice-attributed physiques. More than ten thousand years ago, the ancestor of our sect who obtained this item happened to have this physique. Later, he took the Mysterious Jade Marrow, which made his physique evolve, and thus allowed him to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm in his lifetime."

"Sublimating ice attribute physique, so that's it!" Mo Juren suddenly realized and became interested. This thing didn't mean much to him, but if he took it back to his little disciple, it would be perfect.

"Did that senior leave any specific instructions for use?"

"Uh, yes." Liu Yunruo reacted immediately. It was obvious that the other party had a target.

She felt a little disappointed in her heart. After all, a young man in her family with excellent qualifications also possessed an ice-attributed physique. If he could be cultivated with the marrow of the black jade, his future would be limitless.

Unfortunately, she could only keep these words in her heart and dared not ask for anything from the other party.

Fortunately, the quantity of Xuanyu that can be obtained this time must be quite large, and the quality is far better than before. There is also another secret method that can use the Xuanyu to arrange a certain magic array, which also has the effect of cleansing the tendons and marrow. However, this method is a bit tricky after all, and is far from using the marrow of Xuanyu.

Retracting her thoughts, she said again,

"The specific method of use is actually very simple. Just swallow it and refine it directly. The amount to take depends on your individual situation and you can proceed step by step."

"That's simple." Mo Juren nodded, and then he put away the Mysterious Jade Marrow.

While the two were talking, suddenly, a figure appeared. It was Bai Xun who had left alone to collect the cold marrow. Seeing the happy look on his face, it seemed that he had gained a lot.

Sure enough, as soon as Fang entered the cave, Bai Xun said with a little excitement:

"We were lucky this time. The amount of cold marrow we obtained was more than 30% more than before. After the profit sharing, several families including me will be able to get a lot."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, revealing a black jade bottle about two inches high.

  "30% more is indeed a lot." Liu Yunruo nodded and continued,

"Let's divide it after we get out, and Junior Brother Mo should also get a share."

  "Of course Junior Brother Mo has one." Bai Xun had no intention of objecting. He nodded slightly and put the jade bottle away again. Suddenly, he remembered something and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's a pity that there was a traitor in the palace and stole all the cold marrow accumulated over the years. Otherwise, we wouldn't be in such a predicament."

"Brother Bai, are you worried about the monsters in the Ice Sea?" Liu Yunruo instantly understood what the other party meant. An idea suddenly came to his mind, and he glanced at Mo Juren almost instinctively.

  "That's true." Bai Xun nodded seriously.

"The millennium is not far away. Those monsters will surely come back, and the cold marrow is one of their targets. In the past, we could use the large amount of cold marrow we have accumulated as a trump card to negotiate with the other party, but now it doesn't work.

More importantly, we opened the Void Spirit Hall one step ahead of time, which is equivalent to completely cutting off our retreat. If the demon tribe really attacks in large numbers, it will be troublesome."

  "If an enemy comes, we will fight him with our own army; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. There is no need to worry too much." Liu Yunruo smiled slightly and continued,

"Although we no longer have the Void Spirit Palace as a fallback, we still have Junior Brother Mo here. Brother Bai should know his strength very well. Moreover, opening the Void Spirit Palace ahead of schedule is also a big gamble. If the Great Elder can break through to the Spiritualization Stage, and Junior Brother Mo is added to the mix, those monsters won't be a problem at all."

  "Uh... that's true." Bai Xun nodded, then looked at Mo Juren.

"Junior brother, you should know something about the Ice Sea Monster Clan, but you probably don't know much specific information. Since we have time, why not let Bai explain it to you."

Having said that, he began to tell the story briefly.

Mo Juren did not interrupt the other party, even though he already knew it clearly, and one of the purposes of coming to Xiaoji Palace this time was for this matter.

When the other party finished speaking, he nodded and said:

"You two can rest assured. With Mo here, I will make sure those monsters never return."

"Junior brother, don't underestimate the enemy. If it's just an ordinary attack, it's fine. But if it's a large-scale attack, even with the top masters dispatched, it will definitely be very troublesome.

And it's not just the Ice Sea Monsters. In history, there have been more than one case where the Ice Sea and the Ten Thousand Monster Valley have joined forces to attack together, which is even more serious."

"The Valley of Ten Thousand Demons?" Mo Juren murmured meaningfully, but there was no panic in his expression.

"In that case, let's have a fight then."

Bai Xun: "..."

Liu Yunruo: “…”

……

After a while, Ye Long finally finished the job. He used up all the Yin Ling water and mined a large amount of thousand-year-old black jade.

"So many!" Looking at the mountain-like pile of black jade on the ground, Bai Xun and Liu Yunruo were both excited and could not hide their excitement. Fortunately, they were still rational and did not do anything. They were just simply excited.

Ye Long was naturally happy as well. After all, it was the first time he had seen so many ten thousand year old black jades, of the highest quality. However, like Bai and Liu, he knew very well that although there were a lot of black jades, the final distribution was not something they could decide.

Mo Juren is the key. Without the Yin Ling water provided by him, let alone these high-quality thousand-year-old black jades, even the low-quality ones outside cannot be mined much.

Thinking this in their hearts, the three of them looked directly at Mo Juren, waiting for his decision.

"It's indeed a lot." Mo Juren smiled slightly, but he was not polite at all. He raised his hand and took away 70% of the black jade. Then he said,

"The rest will be handed over to the three senior brothers and sisters. It is up to you to decide how to deal with them."

"Thank you, Junior Brother." Even though only 30% was left, the three of them were already very happy. After all, the amount of black jade mined was enough, and only 30% was a considerable amount, not to mention it was of this top quality.

  This has far exceeded the original expectations. How could the three of them not be satisfied?

However, these mysterious jades were not shared by just the three of them, but also by the Shi family and several other families. But this did not prevent the four major families from taking the majority.

After this matter was dealt with, the four of them did not stay any longer and went straight to another passage in the cave.

Next was the Xuanyin Pond. However, Ye Long and Liu Yunruo, who had already met the Xuanming Fairy, now both looked thoughtful.

The mysterious woman had already gone there, but her purpose was unclear.

  It can't be just for those spiritual medicines and materials, right?

This is obviously unlikely. After all, those things are precious, but their value is ultimately limited. Such a mysterious existence as the other party should not value them.

The two of them looked at Mo Juren knowingly, wanting to ask a question, but chose to give up.

This may involve the other party's secrets. If the other party does not tell you actively, it is better not to ask.

Mo Juren naturally knew about the strangeness of the two people, and he really had no intention of explaining it, but he still admired their tactful behavior.

Only Bai Xun was full of doubts at this moment, and always felt that he had missed something.

As they went deeper, the temperature around them became colder and colder. Even Mo Juren felt a little uncomfortable with the biting cold. As for Ye Long and the other two, they had already taken out their own magic weapons to avoid the cold.

"The temperature there is lower than in Xuanyin Pond, and it can cause certain damage to spiritual consciousness. It would be safer for you to take some defensive measures, Junior Brother." Seeing that Mo Juren still hadn't used any methods, the three of them couldn't help but remind him while admiring him in their hearts.

  "Damage to spiritual consciousness?" Mo Juren looked slightly surprised and continued,

“It shouldn’t just be the temperature, right?”

"Junior brother is right. It's not just the temperature that's the problem." Ye Long nodded.

"The water in the Xuanyin Pond is extremely cold and yin, and it emits some unknown energy all the time. It is not harmful in nature, and even absorbing a small amount is beneficial to oneself. However, if one does not take good precautions and allows too much of that energy to invade the body in a short period of time, it will immediately cause extremely serious damage to the spiritual consciousness."

"There is such a thing?" Mo Juren was a little surprised. The world of cultivating immortals is really full of strange things!

He did not continue to be arrogant, but directly released the protective spiritual light, and at the same time he became more and more looking forward to the Xuanyin Pond.

After walking for several miles, they finally walked out of the passage again. What came into view was a huge cave, which was hundreds of feet in circumference and much larger than the first one.

There is a "small pool of water" in the central area of ​​the cave, with a diameter of only a few feet. It would be more appropriate to call it a small puddle.

The magical thing is that even in such a harsh environment, there are still a large number of spiritual medicines growing scattered around the pool. This alone is enough to prove the extraordinary nature of these spiritual medicines.

  Mo Juren's attention was not on these elixirs, but on quickly investigating Fairy Xuanming. At this time, the other party did not show up, and no one knew where she had gone.

Could it be inside the pool?

Come to think of it, this is the only possibility.

Unfortunately, the suppression of spiritual consciousness here is extremely severe, and it is impossible to explore too far.

Ye and Liu were also somewhat puzzled, but they did not ask any further questions. Instead, they called Bai Xun to join them and immediately started collecting spiritual herbs and materials.

Before long, all the spiritual medicines and materials were collected, but Fairy Xuanming still did not show up.

"Junior Brother Mo, the senior from before?" Finally unable to hold back, Ye Long cautiously probed.

"Maybe it's in the pond, I'm not sure." Mo Juren shook his head slightly. Hearing this, not only Ye Long, but also Liu Yunruo beside him looked stunned.

  In the lake water, this is too incredible!

Ye Liu and the other man looked at each other and did not ask any more questions. Instead, they changed the subject and said:

“The Great Elder’s Cold Flame Marrow Cleansing cannot be completed in a short period of time, and we cannot leave before that, so we will stay here and practice well for a while, so as not to waste such a good opportunity.

In addition, the environment here is extremely special, especially for cultivators like us who practice cold-attributed techniques. It is definitely a top-notch place for cultivation. Don’t miss it if you happen to come here this time.

Especially Junior Brother Mo, you are practicing the top-level technique "Ice Soul Mysterious Art" left by the Ice Soul Ancestor. Practicing in this environment can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"I really felt it." Mo Juren nodded. He had already noticed before that as he got closer to Xuanyin Pond, the magic power in his body became more active.

Following Ye Long's reminder, he directly absorbed a small amount of unknown energy that was evaporating in the air.

As the other party said, consuming a small amount of it not only has no harm, but also has a very obvious beneficial effect on cultivation.

In view of this, he was too lazy to care about Fairy Xuanming. After all, it was impossible for her to get into trouble.

He directly found an open area and began to practice seriously.

Seeing this scene, Ye Long and the other two did not hesitate. They immediately found a place to sit down and took the time to practice.

It didn't take too long to wait. Just a quarter of an hour later, a ray of five-colored light suddenly shot out from the Xuanyin Pond. It was the Xuanming Fairy.

"Senior, what is this?"

Mo Juren opened his eyes and immediately noticed the objects floating above the other person's palm. They turned out to be several fist-sized irregular crystals with blue spiritual patterns on the surface.

Not only him, but Ye Long and the other two who also opened their eyes were all attracted the moment they saw the blue crystal.
