Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 860 Seven Years and Meeting

Not long after, Mo Juren said goodbye and left, taking with him the dry blue ice flame of Master Hanli.

A few days later, the other party personally led a young man to his residence, and several Yuanying stage elders from Xiaoji Palace also came with them.

With everyone's witness, this young man named Shi Li, who was only in the late foundation building stage, formally became his disciple.

Everyone was naturally aware of Master Hanli's actions and purpose. Why would a junior with a natural spiritual root of wood attribute need assistance from others? The master's own resources were enough to train him.

Becoming a disciple of Mo Juren only established a relationship, but it also provided more guarantees for Shi Li's growth. In this way, even if Master Hanli passed away a few years later, the influence of the Shi family would not decrease too much.

Everyone couldn't help but feel emotional. As the number one person in Xiaoji Palace and also the oldest person present, Master Hanli had already cultivated to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage three hundred years ago.

Its strength is obvious to all, and it was once glorious in the past. However, now everything is gone and it will soon disappear.

The limit of lifespan is a problem that every immortal cultivator has to face. Even if everyone present has not reached that point yet, this day will eventually come.

After the disciple-taking ceremony ended, everyone left one after another with various thoughts in their minds.

At this time, Mo Juren looked at Shi Li again and said with a smile:

"With your aptitude, it should be a natural progression for you to enter the Jindan stage without any bottlenecks. You will also have no shortage of cultivation techniques and other resources, so I will not add unnecessary details in these areas."

As he spoke, he waved his arm lightly, and with a flash of light, several items appeared in front of the other party.

"Here are a few ancient treasures of good quality. I'll give them to you as a gift. They will be useful when you reach the final stage of the formation of the elixir. There is also a 'Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng Pill' in the bottle. When you take it when you reach the final stage of the formation of the elixir, it will increase the success rate by more than 30%..."

After a brief explanation, Shi Li, who was originally a little reserved, suddenly changed his expression.

As a disciple of the master's family, he was naturally well-informed. He also happened to have some knowledge about the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng Pill, a famous elixir from ancient times.

That is definitely the top-level holy medicine that countless Jindan stage cultivators dream of.

Unfortunately, the main ingredient for refining this pill, the Nine-bend Ginseng, is hard to come by. Not to mention the high-year ones, even the seedlings are nowhere to be found as they have long been extinct.

However, he did not expect that the other party could actually produce this elixir, and even several ancient treasures of equally high value, all of which he gave to his new disciple.

You have to know that he is still only a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Even if he is already in the late stage and not far from the Core Formation Stage, he is still a little flattered to be given so many treasures at once.

  "You don't have to think too much. The reason why I gave you these treasures that you can't use yet is for a reason." Mo Juren could see the other party's thoughts and did not hide it. He explained immediately.

"Your Senior Brother Han and I are both from the southern part of the world. We came to Dajin to deal with some things and will not stay for too long. Once we leave, it may be a long time before we meet again.

Since you have already become my disciple, as my master, I naturally cannot ignore you. These things naturally need to be handed over to you in advance."

"Master, your generous gift will be forever in my memory." Hearing that the other party had considered him so thoroughly, Shi Li was even more moved and felt that he had made the right choice of master.

"Okay, we are all family, there is no need to be so polite. Put the things away quickly, remember to hide them well, don't show them to others, so as not to attract covetousness." Mo Juren reminded him with a smile. The latter was not stupid, and naturally understood the principle of not showing off wealth, let alone such a treasure.

At the same time, Han Li, as the eldest senior brother, also took out some good pills and gave them to the other party. Shi Li became even happier and thanked him again after receiving them.

Soon the other party said goodbye and left, and only then did Han Li stop smiling and asked:

"Junior brother has excellent talent and his future achievements are limitless. Master, don't you plan to keep him by your side and teach him? It won't be too late to return to Dajin after he grows up?"

"He is different from you." Mo Juren shook his head slightly. Shi Li's apprenticeship was essentially a transaction with Master Hanli. It was mixed with too many interests and was not pure.

The other party was born in a great immortal cultivation family like the Shi family, so naturally his heart was towards his own family, and he did not have much friendship with his cheap master.

The gift of magic weapons and elixirs before was just the duty of a master. He would not make any discounts in this regard. As for other things, he would not ask for them either.

Han Li was so smart that he immediately understood what his master meant and stopped asking any more questions.

After a pause, he mentioned another matter:

"Master mentioned before that he would stay in Xiaoji Palace for about ten years. Is it because of the monster invasion?"

"Have you thought of it?" Mo Juren looked slightly surprised.

  "I guessed this after understanding the current situation on Beiming Island." Han Li nodded and continued,

"It's not the first time that the Ice Sea Monsters have attacked Xiaoji Palace. Even without us, Xiaoji Palace can still handle it with its own strength. But you deliberately want to stay and deal with this matter. You must have other purposes, right?"

"It's okay. That was in the past. This time is different." Mo Juren shook his head slightly and did not continue to explain. Instead, he changed the subject and said,

"Why don't you guess what your purpose is?"

  "My ability is limited, so I can only guess these. I don't know more." Han Li smiled awkwardly, obviously he really didn't know, and Mo Juren didn't care, and continued,

"You guessed correctly. I do have a purpose. As for what it is, you will know when the time comes."

"..."

A trace of helplessness suddenly appeared on Han Li's face.

As expected, the master is still the same as always, always likes to be mysterious and will never reveal the result until the last moment.

Similar situations have happened countless times since he was a child, and he has long been accustomed to it.

Since the master was unwilling to say, he was tactful enough not to ask any more questions. He then changed the subject and chatted with the other party about other things.

This time when he entered the Xu Ling Palace, he gained a lot, especially his own Taiyin True Fire, which had devoured the strange cold air for more than three months and had obviously been greatly improved.

In addition, he also received some ten thousand year old black jade from Mo Juren, which was a great harvest.

……

Time flies, and seven years have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Mo Juren first spent a full year refining a total of 108 Ice Soul Black Crystal Swords.

It’s not that I don’t want to refine more, but there are not enough materials.

Of course, it is not the main material, the Ten Thousand Year Black Jade. This thing is enough. Even if all 365 swords are refined, they will not be used up.

What he lacked right now were some auxiliary materials, even though he had been accumulating them over the years, and had also found a lot in the secret vault of Xiaoji Palace, and even traded some of them with various factions on Beiming Island.

But even if all these are added together, we can still only complete 108 swords, there is no way to make more.

However, he was already very satisfied with such a harvest. The one hundred and eight Ice Soul Black Crystal Swords, combined with the Void Sky Star Map, were already a qualitative leap.

Only now could he truly understand what the Ice Soul Fairy had said about why he needed the Void Sky Star Map to freely control the Ice Soul Mysterious Crystal Sword. Insufficient spiritual awareness was only one of the reasons. After all, there were so many flying swords, and the consumption of spiritual awareness in a real battle was too terrifying. With the Void Sky Star Map as the core, everything became simple and easy in an instant.

The real key is that without the Xutian Star Map, no matter how many flying swords there are, they will be disorganized, just a pile of loose sand, and will not be able to exert their true power at all.

However, with the Xutian Star Map as the core, it is completely different. It can mobilize and combine the power of the stars in the sky, so that not only the power of the flying sword is enhanced, but the sword formation is also invincible.

In the following years, he practiced in seclusion, except for one time in the third year to attend the funeral of Master Hanli.

Unfortunately, the other party didn't make it in the end.

During these seven years, including the three years before, a total of ten years, Mo Juren's cultivation has made great progress thanks to the special environment of Xiaoji Palace which is conducive to cold-attributed exercises.

He could feel that he was not far from the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage.

He couldn't help but think about the problem of his own bloodline. The last fusion made the water attribute reach the ninth level of perfection, which just corresponded to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

In theory, if one wants to break through again, one naturally needs to continue to fuse higher-level bloodlines.

However, this is only in theory. After all, after experiencing so many blood fusions, his own cultivation aptitude has reached an extremely high level.

Even if the bloodline level has not been improved, it is still possible to practice and break through, it just takes longer.

This was verified when he was in seclusion for ten years at the Kong family in Guanning Prefecture and finally succeeded in breaking through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

Of course, even so, he will not give up on continuing to fuse his bloodlines. This will not only shorten the time of breakthrough, but also the improvement of his physical body and qualifications cannot be ignored.

During these seven years, the situation on Beiming Island has become increasingly tense, and countless exploration teams sent out by Xiaoji Palace have discovered large numbers of low-level monsters.

Not only that, the Wan Yao Valley far away in the heart of Dajin also began to stir.

It is foreseeable that this time the monster attack is likely to be a combination of the two monster forces.

All of a sudden, the entire Xiaoji Palace began to prepare.

……

On this day, Mo Juren finally ended his retreat and went straight to the meeting hall.

As soon as I entered, I immediately saw dozens of figures, all of whom were high-level officials in Xiaoji Palace. Except for some who could not attend due to special reasons, the rest were all here.

The Xu Ling Palace has been closed. It will take at least a hundred years to reopen it, and the great elder, Master Hanli, has passed away early, which is not a good thing for Xiaoji Palace.

There is even Liu Yunruo, whose strength was greatly reduced by the death of the Yellow Spring Ghost Mother.

Therefore, everyone took the monster's attack very seriously and naturally did not dare to be careless at all.

"Junior Brother Mo..."

"Palace Master..."

"Master..."

"..."

Greetings came one after another, and Mo Juren smiled and nodded in response to each one. Then he went straight to the podium and slowly sat down in the main seat.

Looking to both sides, Liu Yunruo, Bai Xun and Ye Long were all there, and the seat originally occupied by Master Hanli was now occupied by Han Li.

In this regard, no one present showed any reluctance at all. Instead, they all acted as if it was a matter of course.

This is certainly not because Han Li is his disciple, but because the other party relied on his own strength to win.

Just over a month ago, Han Li and the head of the Ouyang family, who was at the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage, went to the depths of the ice sea to gather intelligence, and happened to encounter several ice sea monsters in the transformation stage.

A fierce battle was inevitably engaged in between the two sides. Compared to the difficult response of the Ouyang family head, Han Li was unusually relaxed. He killed two transformation-stage monsters in just a few breaths.

Such a record immediately stunned the head of the Ouyang family.

When they returned to Xiaoji Palace again, the news of this matter gradually spread. Only then did everyone finally realize that Elder Han was so powerful.

Then I thought of the other party's master, the current Lord Mo Palace. It is true that like master, like disciple. Both the master and the disciple are monsters.

"Senior Sister Liu, tell me about the current situation." Retracting his gaze, Mo Juren turned to look at Liu Yunruo not far away, and asked with a smile.

As the deputy palace master appointed by him personally, Liu Yunruo actually took on most of the sect's affairs. He was also responsible for monitoring the Ice Sea Monster Clan and the Ten Thousand Monster Valley.

I also received a message from the other party today, so I came out and rushed over.

"Through the many pieces of information we have received recently, we have basically confirmed that the Ice Sea Monster Clan has joined forces with the Ten Thousand Monster Valley. This has happened more than once in history, and everyone knows what it means...

In addition, among the disciples recruited recently, some have been found to be possessed by high-level monsters. I think it won’t be long before the other party will start to take action... "Liu Yunruo looked solemn and did not hesitate. He immediately recounted the situation in detail.

"Senior sister, how did you deal with those possessed people?" Mo Juren suddenly asked without changing his expression.

"I will not alert the enemy, so I will have people monitor all those possessed. Do you have any ideas on how to deal with them later, Junior Brother?"

"There's no need to monitor him. Once you're sure, just kill him and be done with it." Mo Juren laughed.

He knew very well that the purpose of the Ice Sea Demon Clan and the Ten Thousand Demon Valley this time was different from all the previous times. It was not for the cold marrow, but to locate the spatial node inside the Void Spirit Palace. They would never retreat until they achieved their goal.

As for that space node, when they were in the Xu Ling Palace before, Fairy Xuan Ming had taken the initiative to help him check it, and it did exist and was quite stable.

But unfortunately, it cannot be used.

According to Fairy Xuanming, that node only looked stable from the outside, but the space storm contained inside was extremely violent. Even if he was very powerful, he would be in danger of death if he went in.

With the other party's understanding of space, the judgment he made will definitely not be wrong.

This couldn't help but make Mo Juren a little disappointed, but he was not discouraged. After all, he still had the Wulong Sea, and there was definitely no problem with the nodes there.

But in this case, we can only wait for news from Xiang Zhili.
