Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 969 Refining Equipment and News

"That's right." Xu Qingcheng did not hide it and asked,

"There are also monks missing in the waters of Huangyan Island. This is no small matter. I naturally have to come and take a look. However, I just got the news and don't know much. What exactly is going on?"

"I do know something about this matter. The missing people are cultivators from the Red Moon Island in the Inner Sea. There are more than ten of them, and the leader is Fairy Shidie, the only daughter of Master Shi from Red Moon Island..."

Following the woman's narration, Mo Juren and Xu Qingcheng had a clearer understanding of the ins and outs of the matter. However, he was a little surprised when the other party mentioned Red Moon Island and the Stone Butterfly Fairy.

This woman was somewhat famous in the original novel, but unfortunately she died early in the "Xuan Bone Copy", which was a pity. It was because of his appearance that her fate was changed.

However, he never expected that he escaped on the first day, but not on the fifteenth. After so many years, the incident happened again, and it was even more serious than in the original book. More than ten people on Red Moon Island were all implicated.

  He still remembered that he had met Master Shi in Linglong Pavilion. Now that his beloved daughter was in danger, he wondered how anxious the other party must be at this moment?

"Has that Master Shi come to Huangyan Island?" Mo Juren suddenly asked, his mind moving.

"Probably not yet. After all, the time is too short. But someone has already passed the news back to the Inland Sea. I think they will arrive soon." The woman guessed.

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the third floor. As the woman said, there were quite a few rooms here, and except for one, the rest were all empty.

The woman explained again that that room belonged exclusively to Elder Mingyu, and the others were only allowed to be occupied by other elders of the sect when they came.

In addition, at the deepest part of the third floor is an independent secret room where Elder Mingyu is currently in seclusion, and it has been several years since then.

"So she doesn't know what just happened?" Xu Qingcheng's expression changed. Upon hearing this, the woman nodded.

"What the Sect Master said is correct. Elder Mingyu was indeed unaware of this matter. After the incident, I also thought about whether to forcefully open the formation outside the secret room to inform the other party. After all, we cannot decide whether to continue staying here or return to the inner sea."

"I understand you're worried. As for returning to the Inland Sea, there's no need. I'm here to resolve this matter. If it works, that would be great. If not, it won't be too late to move back to the Inland Sea."

"With the Sect Master's words, the disciples and others feel relieved."

While they were talking, the doors of two of the rooms opened one after another, and the two girls who had come up earlier walked out.

"Master, Uncle Yun, the room has been cleaned up." The two women bowed again and said respectfully.

"Everyone, go down." The woman nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Xu Qingcheng again and said,

"These are the two rooms. The situations inside are similar. You and this senior can choose whichever you like. I will withdraw first."

"Go ahead." Xu Qingcheng waved her hand and waited until the woman left before asking,

"Which one do you want, Brother Mo?"

"You choose, I can do either."

Xu Qingcheng nodded slightly and walked towards one of the rooms without being polite. Mo Juren walked directly to the other room and pushed the door open to enter.

The room is not small, and the interior layout, decoration, etc. are also very exquisite. The two girls are also very meticulous and have kept the room spotless, giving people a fresh and elegant feeling.

Mo Juren was very satisfied and immediately walked to the window and sat down.

Looking out through the window, you can see the most prosperous streets of Huangyan Island. It's a pity that it is a bit deserted now and there are not many pedestrians, otherwise it would be quite interesting.

At this moment, he had no intention of appreciating the scenery, but began to think about the next plan and how to find the enemy.

He had to admit that the existence he was facing this time was an extremely difficult character. He never showed up, and was elusive without any regularity, making it impossible for him to find a place to lay bait.

The only clue at the moment is the Saint Miaoru who had secretly communicated with them before. However, according to Xu Qingcheng, the other party had used the so-called forbidden technique, which obviously no longer worked.

  Suddenly, he suddenly thought of another point. It seemed that the four saints all disappeared that day. They should be together, right? Since Saint Miaoru knew this technique, what about the other three?

Thinking of this, he immediately wanted to go find Xu Qingcheng, but at this moment, a cool scent of tea suddenly lingered.

Mo Juren was slightly surprised and turned around to look, only to find that Xu Qingcheng had walked into the room first, and with her came the woman who had just left, holding a tray and tea set in her hands.

"This is the unique 'Qingyun Tea' of Huangyan Island. Although it is not as good as those top-notch famous teas, its taste is unique. Master and seniors may want to try it." The woman walked slowly to the table, put down the teapot and teacup, gave a brief introduction, and then turned around and left again very tactfully.

"Sit down first." Mo Juren raised his hand to invite him, but he understood in his heart why the other party came here in such a hurry. It was obvious that he couldn't wait to rescue his people.

  Sure enough, after sitting down, Xu Qingcheng had no intention of tasting tea at all, but asked anxiously:

"Brother Mo, do you have any plans?"

"Not yet. But there is one thing I'm curious about. Is Miaoru the only one who can use the so-called 'Blood Response Method'?" Mo Juren asked directly without beating around the bush.

"Xuan Jing also knows it, but Bi Han and Chi Yan have never practiced it." Xu Qingcheng shook his head slightly and continued,

"I understand what you mean, but this method cannot be performed casually. It requires a certain ritual and time. From the fact that Miao Ru only had time to send out five short words when she sent the message before, we can infer that their situation is extremely bad. It is still unknown whether Xuan Jing can find an opportunity to send a message again."

"Is that so..." Mo Juren frowned. It seemed that things were more complicated than he had expected. If he placed all his hopes on Xuan Jing alone, it would inevitably be a bit passive. He still had to find a way to take the initiative.

"In your situation, can you sense their aura as long as they are within a hundred miles?"

"One hundred miles is normal. I can refine a special induction device that can increase the distance by about ten times, but it takes time, and the materials required are relatively rare."

"Is there anything else?" Mo Juren immediately became interested. Ten times is one thousand miles, which means a lot. Without hesitation, he asked,

"What materials are needed and how long will it take?"

"As long as all the materials are available, it will only take three days. They are Qingxin Jade, Bloodstone, Xuanfeng Crystal..." Xu Qingcheng named seven kinds of materials one after another. They were indeed special and all were top-level spiritual materials.

Afterwards, she herself felt that it was a little unreliable, and said helplessly,

"These spiritual materials are all quite rare. I can only take out two of them. The remaining five are hard to find in a short period of time. In addition, there are some auxiliary materials that are relatively easy to find..."

"It is indeed a little difficult for others, but coincidentally, I happen to have all these seven materials." Mo Juren said, and waved his hand. Suddenly, balls of light flew out and all landed on the table.

"Check it out and see if there is anything wrong."

"This... you actually..." Xu Qingcheng knew that the other party was extremely wealthy, but she didn't expect that the other party would take out the seven top-level spiritual materials that she casually mentioned without even blinking an eye.

  It was obviously a bit biased to describe him as rich. This guy was simply a mobile treasure trove. With excitement, she immediately began to check them one by one. After a moment, she pushed two of them aside and said again:

"Everything is fine. I have the Mysterious Wind Crystal and the Light-Lending Sand. You can keep yours. Also, I hope Brother Mo can protect you for the next three days and don't let anyone disturb you."

"No problem." Mo Juren nodded. It was just a small matter and a piece of cake for him.

Xu Qingcheng did not delay and said goodbye and left immediately. When she reached the door, she called the shopkeeper over and gave him a few words, then went straight into her room.

In the following time, Mo Juren waited patiently in the room alone. At the same time, he also instructed the shopkeeper to send people to keep an eye on the information on Huangyan Island, and especially reminded him to pay attention to every detail and not to make any mistakes or omissions.

The shopkeeper naturally did not dare to be careless and directly sent all the employees out.

Fortunately, on the second night, the news brought back by one of the shop assistants instantly caught Mo Juren's attention.

Just a few days ago, a Jindan stage cultivator who was hunting monsters outside suddenly received a message from a good friend and learned what happened on Huangyan Island.

He was so frightened that he naturally didn't dare to stay outside any longer and immediately returned to Huangyan Island.

Unexpectedly, when he was halfway through the journey, his contracted spirit beast 'Sky Wind Marten' seemed to be suddenly frightened by something. It started to tremble and kept looking in a certain direction, and sent a message to its master to leave quickly.

This person was also quite smart. He thought of a possibility almost instantly. He didn't dare to hesitate and immediately increased his escape speed to the extreme, fleeing for his life.

Perhaps he was lucky enough, or for some other reason, but he did not encounter any danger along the way and returned to Huangyan Island safely.

At the same time, he also shared the situation with some familiar colleagues, asking them not to go deep into that sea area. This news happened to be heard by someone with ulterior motives and then spread.

"Where is this person now?" Mo Juren immediately asked after putting away his thoughts.

"I have already inquired about it. He is in Deyue Building, and his residence is Lingyunxuan on the fifth floor..." The young shop assistant was about to continue explaining, but was interrupted by Mo Juren.

"I know, you go down first."

"Disciple obeys your command." The girl bowed again and then turned and left. Mo Juren looked at the night scene outside the window and disappeared in a flash.

The so-called Deyue Tower is a restaurant that also provides accommodation for monks. Its owner is actually the Fengle Business Alliance. It is one of the largest restaurants in Huangyan Island.

Although the situation in Huangyan Island is somewhat unstable now, with a large number of shops closed, many monks are eager to return to the inland sea.

But there are exceptions. Nearly half of the shops and another part of the monks are still waiting and watching. After all, time is still short and maybe the problem can be solved.

Deyue Building is one of these many shops. With the support of Fengle Business Alliance, its confidence is naturally different. Even its business is booming as usual, with a constant stream of customers coming in and out.

The hall on the first floor is a public area where many monks gather. However, the topics discussed by everyone while drinking and chatting are basically similar, all related to the missing monks.

At the door of the shop, Mo Juren did not go in, but released his spiritual sense to scan the entire restaurant. He soon locked onto Lingyunxuan on the fifth floor and happened to see a figure through the open window.

Seeing this scene, he immediately revealed a smile, and then disappeared again in a flash.

On the fifth floor, in Lingyunxuan, a middle-aged man in blue was staring at the night outside the window alone, as if he was struggling with something.

"What are you thinking about?" At this moment, a strange voice suddenly came from behind him, which scared him instantly. He turned his head quickly and saw a white-haired old man.

"You... who are you?" The man in green was obviously frightened, and his voice was a little stuttering. This person appeared so suddenly, there was only one possibility, that is, his strength was far above his own. If he had any malicious intentions just now, he would have died long ago.

"It doesn't matter who I am. I came here to inquire about some information, which is what you mentioned before to your friends. Something unusual happened in the northern sea area..." Mo Juren was too lazy to waste time with the other party and went straight to the point. As he spoke, a powerful aura emanated from him.

The man in green felt it instantly, and his expression changed drastically again. How could he not understand what was going on? Naturally, he did not dare to neglect it in the slightest:

"So that's what happened. Please rest assured, I will tell you everything I know..."

The man in green bowed respectfully, without hiding anything, and immediately recounted the whole story in detail. He also summoned his spirit beast, the Sky Wind Marten, and continued to explain.

“I think you should know that the Skywind Marten is a very special monster. Although it has no combat power, it has an extraordinary ability to sense danger, and its sensing range can reach tens of thousands of miles.

This junior's is even more special. It once took a 'Blood Shedding Fruit', which caused its blood to mutate slightly, making it even more capable of sensing danger."

"Bloodline mutation?" Mo Juren looked slightly surprised. He looked at the purple mink that was shivering in the other's arms, and couldn't help showing surprise.

"Maybe the exact location can be determined?"

  "At that time, I was only concerned with escaping and did not go to investigate, but based on the distance that Diao'er sensed, I can infer a rough area." The man in green took out another jade slip, made a simple inscription on it, and then respectfully handed it forward and said,

"I have already marked the location. Even if it is not 100% accurate, it will not be too far off. However, according to the sea chart, it is just an ordinary sea area. There are no islands within a few hundred miles. Why Diao'er is so scared is really hard to understand."

"Maybe I'm overthinking it." Mo Juren smiled and put the jade slip away.

"I will take the sea chart with me. Also, remember not to disclose what happened today to anyone else."

"Don't worry, elder. I swear on my heart that I will keep my mouth shut..." The man in green hurriedly made a promise and even swore an oath.

Mo Juren couldn't help but look at him with new eyes after seeing him act so decisively. After nodding slightly, he turned into a ray of light and disappeared.

"Finally they left!" The man in green just relaxed and thought secretly in his heart.

The reason why he swore was naturally because he was afraid. Although the other party had a kind-hearted appearance from beginning to end, his every move and every word gave him a strong sense of oppression.

What's more crucial is that after Diao'er was summoned, her body never stopped shaking, and she didn't even dare to look at the other party. This kind of behavior only appears when facing a strong man in the Nascent Soul stage.

"Who is it? Why is he asking about this? Could it be a Nascent Soul Elder from Xing Palace?"

"Could it be that the other party is planning to go to that sea area to investigate personally? If the situation is really similar to that of Qiyuan Island, then even a Yuanying stage expert would be extremely dangerous."

"Forget it. These matters will be handled by the powerful ones. It is better for me not to get involved. It will be safer to return to the inner sea as soon as possible..."
