"So, do you plan to recognize me as your master?" Mo Juren's expression remained unchanged and he asked calmly.
"Yes and no." Yinyue shook her head slightly and continued,
"I just agreed to be your subordinate, and I will be sent by you within the scope of my ability. But if you want me to really recognize you as your master, your current cultivation is not enough."
"Why, you still don't like me?" Mo Juren couldn't help but laugh. Is it because he came from an extraordinary background and has incomplete memory and still knows how to be picky?
"That's not what I meant!" Yinyue shook her head quickly and continued to explain.
"I have no choice but to say, in short, unless you can enter the Nascent Soul stage, I will not recognize the Lord."
After a pause, he suddenly said again,
"If my guess is correct, you should not be very old, and your cultivation has already reached the late stage of elixir formation. With such a top-notch talent, it should not be a problem to enter the Nascent Soul stage."
"Have I ever taken a calming pill?" Mo Juren replied with a half-smile.
"Ah..." Upon hearing this, Yinyue was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself, does this guy look young, but is he an old monster inside?
That's not possible. If someone lives for hundreds of years before reaching the late stage of elixir formation, the probability of condensing the Nascent Soul in the future is almost zero, let alone transforming into a spirit.
"For the convenience of asking, you...how old are you? And what are your spiritual root qualifications?"
At this time, not only Yinyue, but also Han Li, who was standing by, was also a little curious. Speaking of which, although he had followed his master since he was a child, he only knew that his master had extraordinary talents, but he really didn't know how many spiritual roots he had.
It should be the top Tianlinggen, right?
Han Li thought this, but subconsciously looked at his master with a little more expectation in his heart.
However, how could Mo Juren reveal his secret and replied directly:
"No comment."
"You..." Yinyue was extremely depressed. This was not an important matter. As for keeping it secret like this? After a pause, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and turned to look at Han Lidao, who was aside.
"I wonder how qualified this Taoist friend is this year?"
"Me!" Han Li was a little surprised, but he quickly realized that this guy was planning to choose him, right? Are you kidding me? You are intelligent and an old monster who has lived for countless thousands of years. Who is this?
Do you know where it comes from? How inconvenient would it be to have it with you? I have so many secrets, especially the little green bottle, that I must never reveal.
Thinking of this, he immediately showed a wry smile and said,
"I may have to disappoint my senior. Although I am still young, I only have four spiritual roots. The chance of breaking through the Nascent Soul stage in this life is very slim. My master, on the other hand, is definitely top-notch qualified. I will never go wrong if I follow him.
”
"Four Spiritual Roots!" Yinyue suddenly stopped thinking and turned to look at Mo Juren again. This guy is so hateful, he obviously has good qualifications but he still wants to tease her, and he was almost deceived.
Fortunately, this apprentice was more honest, and she slowly let go of her worries. If the other party's qualifications were really very poor, it would be troublesome, whether she was trading or not trading.
I was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by the other party raising his hand:
"Someone is coming!" Mo Juren frowned and quickly restrained his breath. Han Li on the side was also not slow, and even put on the 'Hidden God Robe' given by his master before.
"Leave here first." He waved to Yinyue, who naturally did not dare to hesitate, and immediately transformed into the body of Yu Ruyi in a flash of light. Mo Juren took it into his hand, and then headed somewhere with Han Li
It shot away in a certain direction and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
About a quarter of an hour later, two figures walked out of a certain passageway. They each looked around for a while in confusion. When they looked at the high platform in front of them, their expressions changed drastically at the same time.
"This...how is this possible!" The old man in white robe was full of disbelief.
"Go in and take a look!" The man in black robe next to him also had a shocked look on his face, and then he flashed forward, raised his hand and fired a black light blade, tearing open a wide hole in the Tiangang cover.
The two of them flew into it almost at the same time without any hesitation.
"It was really taken away! Who is it!" Inside, above the altar, looking at the empty deep cave below, the old man in white robe said solemnly.
"Ordinary monks don't have such ability!" The man in black robe frowned.
"We watched Wan Tianming and the others leave. Barbarian Beard only had one Nascent Soul left. Tian Wuzi was controlled by us, and only the old ghost Qing was left. Even so, he alone could not obtain the treasure tripod.
."
"Is it possible that there are other forces involved? But this is impossible. We are under our surveillance all the way through the pass. It is impossible for such a situation to happen? Furthermore, how can the Xutian Cauldron be so easy to collect? There is not enough
Strength and specific means are simply impossible."
"Other forces? Enough strength?" The old man in white robe murmured, but suddenly thought of something and said again,
"Could it be that boy?"
"You mean... Mo Juren!" The man in black robe was startled for a moment, and then replied with some uncertainty,
"It's really hard to say. That boy is a monster. He is incredibly strong. He is accompanied by Xu Qingcheng, who is in the Nascent Soul stage. If the two of them join forces..."
"I hope the guess is true. After all, this kid can be considered one of our own. It's better than falling into the realm of good and evil. Besides, if the other party and the young master can achieve good things in the future, wouldn't Xu Tianding become the king of my star palace in disguise?
Object?"
"Is what happened between the boy and the young master true?" the man in black robe asked curiously.
"It's almost ten." The old man in white robe smiled and then said,
"Well, these are just speculations and cannot be determined yet. However, if it really involves this kid, it is not something you and I can decide. We need to inform the two Holy Masters as soon as possible and let them make the decision."
……
There is no shortage of smart people in the world, especially old monsters who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage. Which one is not a monster with a mind that is close to that of a monster?
Even Mo Juren himself, although he thought he was careful enough in all aspects, still did not dare to be careless. After all, nothing can be perfect and there will always be flaws.
The person who just appeared must be Elder Xinggong. Seeing that the Xutian Cauldron was taken away, it is inevitable that he would not be suspicious of him.
He has naturally considered this. After all, if the situation changes, corresponding things will also change. To be cautious, he has decided not to return to Tianxing City for the time being until he is not sure enough.
At this time, what he is more concerned about is the next thing, which is the 'Ten Thousand Years Soul-nurturing Wood', which is also his last goal in coming to Xutian Palace this time.
It had been delayed for several days, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. According to common sense, it was impossible for Yuan Yao to break through the restrictions there in a short time based on his own strength.
However, there are exceptions to everything, and he cannot guarantee that everything will be perfect.
Following the route indicated on the scroll, the two of them arrived at a high wall without any hindrance. Without any hesitation, Mo Juren immediately summoned his flying sword and slashed several times, and a simple stone gate appeared. Inside is a small secret room, only two feet high and only five or six feet long and wide. The ground is covered with thick dust. And in the center of the secret room, there is a simple teleportation array.<
/p>
The two entered the secret room one after another, and Mo Juren re-blocked the stone door with extreme caution, and then cast a spell to restore the stone wall to its original state, and then invited Han Li to step into the formation together.
Although this formation is extremely crude, it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, but it can still be used. As soon as the spirit stone is embedded, the formation is activated instantly, a white light flashes, and the two of them disappear.
……
"Boom, boom, boom..." Violent roars continued one after another, as if someone was attacking something with all their strength.
At the same time, Mo Juren and Han Li appeared in the dilapidated teleportation array. Their eyes followed the sound, but they saw a familiar figure. At this moment, they were using their magic weapons to attack a restricted area with all their strength.
"Yuan Yao!" Han Li looked slightly surprised. He didn't expect to meet this girl again. It was really fate.
Mo Juren also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his prediction was correct and everything was still under control. He ignored the woman and slowly walked out of the teleportation array, looking around carefully.
A top-notch spiritual vein has been sealed here, making the surrounding spiritual energy extremely rich. In a pool about a few feet ahead, the water is a rare milky white color and exudes a strange fragrance, which is refreshing and refreshing.
This is naturally the Spring of Spiritual Eyes, but what Mo Juren is more concerned about is a white jade dragon head relief on the stone wall in the distance. Unfortunately, there is nothing underneath.
"It seems that the Wannian Spiritual Milk has been collected by the other party." Mo Juren's heart moved slightly, but he didn't say anything immediately.
"Senior Mo, Brother Han, it's you!" The moment she noticed the coming person, Yuan Yao's heart skipped a beat and she immediately stopped attacking.
After seeing the appearance of the person clearly, his expression relaxed slightly. However, he still did not dare to relax at all.
We only meet each other a few times, and the friendship is not that deep. What's more, things like that in the ban are so precious, and even true friends may fall out with each other here.
When she thought of this, she became more and more anxious.
"It turns out to be Miss Yuan! Nice to meet you!" Han Li immediately replied, cupping his hands.
"Senior Mo, Brother Han, why are you here?"
"I accidentally encountered a teleportation array. I didn't expect..."
"..."
Han Li and Yuan Yao were chatting very enthusiastically, and Mo Juren did not interrupt him, but walked towards the north alone. That is where the restriction is, and the soul-nourishing wood he needs should be there.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Yao could no longer stand, her pretty face instantly turned pale, and she even subconsciously shouted anxiously: "Senior, wait a minute!"
"Is something wrong?" Mo Juren frowned and stopped.
"Senior, I...I..." If it were Han Li, Yuan Yao might be able to argue with reason. After all, she discovered things first, and there must be a first-come, first-served basis.
But when it was Senior Mo in front of her, she was a little helpless. From the first time they met to the last time they saw each other again, the other party's attitude was extremely indifferent from beginning to end, which made her instinctively feel terrified. p>
However, thinking about the purpose of her visit, she could only bite the bullet and stammered,
"There is a soul-nurturing tree in the ban. No... I wonder if the senior can... can it be given to the junior?"
"Soul-nurturing wood!" Upon hearing this, Han Li immediately shouted in surprise,
"Miss Yuan is talking about one of the three sacred trees. Wearing it with you can nourish the soul and soul and slowly strengthen your spiritual consciousness?"
"Exactly this thing!" Yuan Yao nodded, as if he had thought of something, and then continued with a dark expression,
"This thing is extremely important to this junior. If...if you can agree...this junior will definitely do his best to compensate."
"Compensation? Tell us about it?" Mo Juren's expression remained unchanged and he asked.
Seeing that the other party did not refuse immediately, Yuan Yao couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in her heart. She turned her white palm slightly, revealing a green jade bottle with a long neck, and respectfully handed it to him:
"It contains half a bottle of ten thousand years of spiritual milk. Although it is far from comparable to the soul-nurturing wood, it is still the most valuable thing that this junior can get."
"The Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Milk is indeed a rare and rare thing." Mo Juren reached out to take it, and after a brief inspection, he suddenly said,
"This thing should come from the spiritual eye spring here, right?"
"Senior...Senior has a keen eye! I..." Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao's heart suddenly sank, and she secretly thought that the other party would just take it as her own for this reason, right?
If she really did that, there seemed to be nothing she could do. Subconsciously, she couldn't help but cast her gaze to Han Li aside, her eyes full of pleading.
"Uh..." Han Li was a little overwhelmed by the 'pathetic' look in his eyes. What do you want to do? No matter what the master decides, it is not something he can control.
Besides, although your ten thousand-year spiritual milk is precious, it cannot be compared with the soul-nurturing tree. Moreover, it is a tree that has grown here for countless thousands of years. You can't persuade the master to give up, right?
However, he did think of a way. As long as the roots of the tree are given to him for cultivation, wouldn't everything be solved? By then, all three of them will be able to obtain the tree. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best of all three.
After thinking about it, he then transmitted his idea to his master. After all, the other party knew some of his secrets and should have considered it. As for whether it would work out or not, it had nothing to do with him.
"For Li'er's sake, I agree to the exchange, but there is one condition." Mo Juren fumbled for the jade bottle in his hand and answered directly without trying to seduce him.
"Senior...Senior, you agreed!" Upon hearing the good news, Yuan Yao, who was a little desperate, couldn't help but burst into excitement. At the same time, she once again cast a grateful look at Han Li who was standing aside.
Han Li was also a little flattered. He was just giving a suggestion, but he didn't expect his master to agree.
Although the other party knows that he has special means and abilities in cultivating elixirs, he does not know the details. It is unknown whether a ten-thousand-year-old soul-nurturing tree can be successfully cultivated, or even how long it will take.
"This tree has been nourished for countless years, so it is definitely not small, and Miss Yuan can't use all of it, right? After breaking the formation, you can intercept it as needed, and leave the rest with a section of the root to Mo
That’s it.”
"Senior, Yuan Yao is deeply grateful for your great kindness." After hearing this, Yun Yao had no objection at all and immediately bowed extremely solemnly.
"It doesn't matter." Mo Juren nodded, and then divided the Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Milk in the jade bottle into two, and handed one to Han Lidao,
"Take it with you. It can save your life at critical moments."
"Thank you, Master." Han Li quickly concluded that this thing is too rare and a real life-saving medicine, so naturally he would not be polite to Master.
However, seeing this scene in Yuan Yao's eyes, the feeling of envy is beyond words. It is so lucky to have a good master, but it is a pity that he does not have such a good life, let alone a master. It is full of luck to be able to go all the way up to now.<
/p>
……
Nearly two days later, on the sea somewhere dozens of miles away from Xutian Palace, with a flash of white light, three figures of two men and one woman emerged out of thin air.
Naturally, these were Mo Juren and the other three, who successfully obtained the legendary soul-nourishing tree after breaking through the restrictions. After countless years of nourishment, the tree was more than a foot long, enough for the three of them to share.
In order to refine the Soul Restoration Pill, Mo Juren only intercepted an inch and left the rest to the two of them. After the distribution was completed, the three of them were teleported out by the Xutian Palace.
"Every banquet in the world comes to an end, Miss Yuan, let's just say goodbye." Han Li looked at Yuan Yao, who was as pretty as a flower, and then bowed his hands.
"Alright, Senior Mo and Brother Han, see you later." Yuan Yao did not hesitate, and after a slight salute, he turned into a ray of light and flew away through the air. Han Li was left hanging in the air, watching for a long time, until he heard a dry cough.
As soon as I heard it, I suddenly came back to my senses. What caught my eyes was the slightly strange look of the master.
"Master...Master, what are your plans next?" Han Li changed the subject with a somewhat unnatural expression.
"I'm going to complete Manbeard's commission first, and then I plan to return to Tiannan." Mo Juren thought for a while and suddenly asked,
"By the way, are you planning to go back with me this time?"
