Mortal: I, Mo Juren

"Successfully extracted 'medium-grade lapis lazuli (100)' and obtained high-grade lapis lazuli (1)."

As the prompt sounded, the washbasin-sized piece of lapis lazuli in Mo Fan's hand collapsed instantly.

A large amount of ashes sprinkled down between his fingers, and finally only a piece of egg-sized, darker cyan stone remained.

After weighing it a few times, Mo Fan quickly figured out the weight.

Such a high-grade lapis lazuli stone, the size of an egg, weighs one hundred kilograms.

In other words, its density has increased nearly a hundred times.

I don’t know if its defense capability will be increased a hundred times? A ridiculous idea suddenly appeared in Mo Fan's mind.

"laugh--"

Then he soon became amused by his own thoughts.

After shaking his head, he retracted such absurd conjecture.

Yes or no, he only needs to experiment to know.

Not to mention increasing the defense ability by a hundred times, if it can be increased by ten times, it is very good.

Mid-grade lapis lazuli can block the attacks of early Nascent Soul monks based solely on the defensive ability of the material itself.

If the defense capability could be increased tenfold, it would be difficult for the great monks in the late Nascent Soul stage to break through.

And if it can be enhanced a hundred times, it may only be possible if a monk in the late stage of spiritual transformation comes.

After the thought fell, Mo Fan's eyes flashed.

"burn--"

A red beam of light suddenly shot out, instantly hitting the egg-sized piece of high-quality lapis lazuli that had been fixed on the ground by Mo Fan.

"boom--"

Under the powerful impact, the high-grade lapis lazuli stone immediately collapsed the medium-grade lapis lazuli stone on the ground.

A small hole about ten feet deep was formed.

Mo Fan, who was always paying attention, was very satisfied when he saw this situation.

Just now, he clearly felt that nearly [-]% of the spiritual power released by the divine light was directly absorbed by the high-grade lapis lazuli stone.

It didn't stop absorbing spiritual power until the spiritual power released by the divine light far exceeded the absorption limit of the lapis lazuli stone.

With a hint of joy flashing in his eyes, Mo Fan quickly waved to the piece of high-quality lapis lazuli sunk deep into the ground.

If he goes slower, he is afraid that these middle-grade lapis lazuli stones will recover, and it may not take him a day or two to dig out this high-grade lapis lazuli stone from the lapis lazuli stone that is about ten feet deep.

"Snapped--"

After taking the high-grade lapis lazuli into his hand, Mo Fan looked at it carefully.

With his powerful spiritual consciousness, he had already engraved the entire appearance of this lapis lazuli stone into his mind before attacking.

After a comparison, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was no damage at all.

Not even a trace.

You must know that with his current strength, even if the scolding divine light is not as good as the full blow of the great monks in the late Yuanying stage, it is far better than the average peak monk in the middle stage of Yuanying.

Such a powerful attack failed to leave even a trace on it.

Could it be that it is really enhanced a hundred times? With a happy expression on his face, Mo Fan made a bold guess.

If that were the case, he would make a fortune.

As long as he refines these high-quality lapis lazuli into magic weapons, he can completely walk sideways in the human world.

After all, in today's human world, those with the highest level of cultivation are only in the early stages of becoming gods, and they are still a group of people who dare not take action with all their strength.

Even if this high-grade lapis lazuli cannot increase the ratio of spiritual power absorbed after being refined into a magic weapon, if it still absorbs [-]%, he will have no problem blocking the remaining [-]% ​​of the spiritual power from a full-strength strike in the early stages of becoming a god.

I just don’t know if it’s been enhanced a hundred times.

After all, even if he attacks with all his strength now, he is only slightly better than the average late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

He is still a little far away from reaching the attack power of a monk in the transformation stage.

However, he is not in a hurry about this. He will first try to see if he can block this high-quality lapis lazuli stone when he uses all his strength.

Don't fantasize about it for a long time. In the end, you can't even stop yourself from taking action with all your strength.

Re-fixing the high-grade lapis lazuli in his hand, Mo Fan made a seal with his fingers, and all seventy-two wooden flying sword magic weapons flew out from his body.

As soon as the magic formula changed, the seventy-two flying swords instantly formed a single-series sword formation, surrounding the high-grade lapis lazuli stone.

After a breath, the sword formation was activated.

"Clang clang-"

Suddenly, the metallic sound of countless hard metal objects colliding filled the entire stone house.

At the same time as every sound was heard, the high-quality lapis lazuli stone would be knocked away and ejected.

After nearly ten breaths of effort, Mo Fan made a secret to cancel the sword formation.

He raised his hand and took the high-quality lapis lazuli stone that had been attacked thousands of times into his hand and looked at it carefully.

"Okay!" Mo Fan was very satisfied when he saw that the high-quality lapis lazuli in his hand still showed no trace of damage.

Although it is still unclear at this moment how many times this high-grade lapis lazuli has increased defensive power compared to the mid-grade lapis lazuli.

But after this test, preliminary estimates indicate that it has increased by at least ten times.

Mo Fan put the lapis lazuli into his storage bag and stopped mining.

After all, at his current mining speed, it would probably take more than half a year to get enough mid-grade lapis lazuli to extract the best lapis lazuli.

Now he has other more urgent things to do.

Anyway, the lapis lazuli in this room can't escape, and it won't be too late to mine and extract it later.

He had to take back the roots of the spiritual eye tree in his hand and plant them first.

Otherwise, even if the roots of the spiritual eye tree are placed in a jade box that can maintain activity, it will not be delayed for more than half a year.

After making up his mind, Mo Fan took a step forward to another corner of the stone house and took a box into his hands.

Mana poured into his hand and he quickly opened it.

A spiritual talisman engraved with different spiritual characters was revealed inside.

Back then, Han Li was able to capture the corpse mandrill with his late Golden Core cultivation level, and this talisman was indispensable.

It's just that Mo Fan is too powerful now, and he doesn't want to kill the mandrill right away, so he didn't use this talisman.

After the last Qingyang Gate incident, Mo Fan also realized a problem.

The strength of everyone in the Mo Mansion is still too low, not to mention in front of Yuanying monks, even in front of some late-stage Jindan monks, they don't have much power to fight back.

However, he couldn't do it for him when it came to cultivation, he could only provide as many cultivation resources as possible.

Therefore, whenever he encounters a treasure that is suitable for everyone in the Mo Mansion, he will keep it.

Since this spiritual talisman can suppress the corpse mandrills in the early stage of Yuanying, its power is at least comparable to the attack power of monks in the middle stage of Yuanying.

This weak attack power is naturally useless to Mo Fan, but it is extremely useful to the people of Mo Mansion.

These differences between spiritual talismans and magic weapons mean that even if the user's cultivation level is low, they can still be used.

After checking to make sure there was nothing wrong, Mo Fan closed the box and put it into the storage bag.

Then he came to the stone platform where the mandrill was sitting cross-legged before and inspected it.

He clearly remembered that in the original work, Han Li got a piece of spiritual eye jade from Mandrill, but why was there no trace of it now?

This thing is not of much use to him, but it is still of great use to everyone in the Mo Mansion. At least it can save everyone some practice time.

"It's strange." After some sensing, Mo Fan still didn't notice anything.

Could it be that the piece of spiritual eye jade was not born in this stone house?

After dozens of breaths.

Unwilling to give up, Mo Fan searched the entire stone house twice with his spiritual consciousness, but still found nothing.

"That's not right." Sitting next to the stone platform, Mo Fan fell into deep thought.   Memories flashed through his mind quickly.

After a few dozen breaths, he opened his eyes, a trace of surprise and disgust flashing in his eyes.

He remembered that in the original work, when Mandrill gave Han Li the Spiritual Eye Jade, he took it out of his arms.

In other words, the Jade of Spiritual Eyes at this moment is very likely to be on the corpse.

This makes sense. At that time, Mo Fan thought the mandrill was disgusting, so he put it directly into the storage bag without even searching him.

After thinking of this, Mo Fan had an idea and poured out the corpse of the mandrill.

"Sure enough." Mo Fan discovered the spiritual eye jade with just a little exploration using his spiritual sense.

I saw a fist-sized jade box sitting quietly in the mandrill's stomach.

The jade box is square in shape, its appearance has long been pitch black, and inside it is wrapped a jade of spiritual eyes.

After figuring out the whereabouts of the Spiritual Eye Jade, Mo Fan had no intention of taking it out.

Since this thing is for everyone in the Mo Mansion, let's leave it to... Han Li or Zhang Tie.

Otherwise, it would be unjustifiable to leave it to the girls.

After nodding satisfied with his handling, Mo Fan waved his hand and put the mandrill back into the storage bag.

Then with a thought, he used the Earth Escape Technique of Perfection and disappeared into the stone house.

……

half a month later.

Mo Fan, who was traveling in a hurry, rushed back to Yellow Maple Valley.

Immediately, he went to the cave that Han Li had opened before.

"Disciple pays homage to master!"

Because Mo Fan had informed Han Li in advance with the communication bead, as soon as Mo Fan arrived, Han Li opened his formation to greet him.

"No need to be polite." He smiled and waved his hand casually, and Mo Fan stopped next to Han Li.

"The formations in this cave are not up to par with your cultivation level. Let's change it someday. Otherwise, a dignified middle-stage Golden Core monk would use such a crude formation, which would be detrimental to his identity."

After casually glancing at the formation outside Han Li's cave, Mo Fan joked after discovering that it was still the simplified version of the inverted Five Elements formation from before.

"The disciple thought that the demonic path had receded, and his attainments in the formation path were not enough, so he never did it."

Han Li rubbed his nose awkwardly.

"Hasn't Miss Xin moved to Yellow Maple Valley? You can ask her to come over and give you some advice. It would be a pity to leave such a formation master unused. And you can always ask her for advice if you have nothing to do. Her formation talent is The strongest person I have ever seen as a teacher."

"Master, can you not compare with me?" Han Li was slightly surprised when he heard Mo Fan praising Xin Ruyin's array talent.

What surprised Han Li was not how talented Xin Ruyin was in formations, but that his own master seemed to think he was inferior.

Ever since he started following Mo Fan when he was ten years old, he has never found any shortcomings in his master over the years.

Alchemy, weapon refining, formations, beast control, spells, cultivation, spiritual consciousness...

It seems that in any field, there are achievements that are not weak.

Even in the whole world, there is nothing that my master does not know.

Therefore, after many years of subtle influence, he almost regarded Mo Fan as an omniscient god.

How could he not be surprised when he heard Mo Fan exaggerate Xin Ruyin.

"Ahem... In terms of talent alone, I am still not as good as Miss Xin as a teacher. As for the formation, we have to wait and see in the future."

After noticing Han Li's reaction, Mo Fan coughed dryly and spoke truthfully.

He also didn't expect that he would have such a high image in Han Li's eyes.

But it's normal to think about it. After all, Han Li doesn't know the function of his golden finger from his perspective.

At most, there are some speculations that he has some treasure that is even more heaven-defying than the Sky Palm Vase.

This is also the limitation of being an Aboriginal.

After all, there aren’t that many time travel novels in this world.

"Yes, I will remember my master's teachings." Han Li nodded solemnly after receiving Mo Fan's personal recognition.

"Let's not talk about this for now. I came to you for this trip because I have other reasons."

Without further talking on this topic, Mo Fan put his arm around Han Li's shoulders and walked into the cave.

……

One day later, Mo Fan left Han Li's cave, leaving behind the roots of the Spiritual Eye Tree and the corpse of the Mandrill.

He was not in a hurry to go to Dajin, but returned to Mo Mansion in Yellow Maple Valley.

During this period of time on the road, he had actually been studying the content of the fifth level of the Dayan Jue with one focus.

Recently, he felt faint signs of a breakthrough.

Therefore, he planned to break through the fifth level of Dayan Art in Huang Maple Valley first, and then try to see if the degree of solidification of Yuanying was enough for him to break through to the later stage of Yuanying.

After all, there is a big difference between going to the Great Jin with the peak cultivation level of the middle Nascent Soul and the late Nascent Soul cultivation level.

As long as he does not break through to the late Yuanying stage for a day, he will not be able to kill the late Yuanying monks.

Even if you encounter some mid-stage Nascent Soul monks who are strong in escaping, you may not be able to win them.

Compared with Han Li back then, the only thing he lacked was the means to deal with Nascent Soul's teleportation.

Back then, Han Li had not only the Destruction Dharma Eyes, but also the heaven-reaching spiritual treasures such as the Eight Spiritual Rulers and the Xutian Palace.

Now all I have at my disposal are the one hundred and forty-four flying swords that were just refined.

Han Li also had this, and added more rare treasures.

Not to mention Gengjin, his own flying sword has not even been joined by other refined crystals.

In the final analysis, the time he has practiced so far is still too short.

If I'm not practicing, I'm on the road.

After this time, he must collect some materials before entering Xutian Temple.

Such a powerful golden finger cannot be buried.

After returning to Mo Mansion, Mo Fan only stayed with Yan Xun for one night, and then hurriedly entered the secret room to retreat.

……

Three days later.

A dragon roar that echoed through the sky suddenly exploded in Mo Mansion.

It was Mo Fan who successfully broke through the fourth level of Dayan Jue and entered the fifth level.

At the moment of breakthrough, Mo Fan felt the sea of ​​consciousness in his mind suddenly expand.

His spiritual consciousness also skyrocketed.

However, these are not what Mo Fan is most concerned about at the moment.

What he paid most attention to was the little Yuanying figure in his Dantian who looked exactly like him.

Under his inner vision, he saw only wisps of invisible things passing down from the sea of ​​consciousness along the eight extraordinary meridians, and finally integrated into the Nascent Soul.

At the moment when the invisible thing merged into the Nascent Soul, the Nascent Soul villain suddenly opened his small eyes, which were originally closed.

There was a hint of joy in his little eyes.

He clearly felt that the degree of solidification of Nascent Soul was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After half a cup of tea, the sea of ​​consciousness stopped transmitting invisible objects.

But after this period of transmission, Mo Fan also clearly felt that the degree of solidification of his Nascent Soul had been greatly improved.

Perhaps, he can really try to advance to the late Nascent Soul stage directly! (End of chapter)
