Chapter 174 Seeing Through
"Fellow Daoist Duan, please follow me first!"
Fortunately, Mo Gen seemed to feel that the entrance to Jinlanfang was not a place to talk, so he took Duan Qing all the way out of the city to a secluded place.
"What does Fellow Daoist Mo mean?" Duan Qing frowned and looked at Mo Gen.
"Haha, I have always felt that I am quite destined to meet fellow Daoist Duan. No, it's just the right time!" Mo Gen looked at Duan Qing, his eyes shining.
Duan Qing was unmoved and looked at Mo Gen expressionlessly, waiting for the next sentence. With Mo Gen's profit-seeking temperament, he probably wouldn't come to him to reminisce about old times for no reason.
Sure enough, Mo Gen asked Duan Qing somewhat mysteriously: "Is Fellow Daoist Duan interested in earning a fortune in spiritual stones?"
When he thought about it, Duan Qing had only been in the Third Heaven for more than a month, and it happened to be during the violent period of monster beasts. Although there was a beast wave, he thought that he was not very familiar with the Third Heaven and there should be no gains. In addition, the cost of taking the spirit boat to the third heaven was exchanged with him in exchange for the Mortal Transformation Grass, so he must be in dire need of spirit stones now.
"Not interested!" Duan Qing refused decisively, turned around and left. Not to mention that he is not in short supply of spiritual stones now. Even if he is short of spiritual stones, he will not cooperate with Mo Gen. He still remembers the Mortal Transformation Grass that cheated him at a low price last time!
Mo Gen was stunned. He didn't expect Duan Qing to refuse so simply, which made him stunned on the spot.
"Wait!" Mo Gen came to his senses and quickly called Duan Qing.
Duan Qing turned a deaf ear and did not stop at all.
Mo Gen looked at Duan Qing's retreating back, and suddenly thought of something in his heart, and pointedly said: "Fellow Taoist is a disciple of Jinxuan Sect!"
Duan Qing's feet suddenly stopped, and he turned back to look at Mo Gen coldly, wondering in his heart, why did this person know that he was from Jin Xuanzong?
Seeing Duan Qing's appearance, Mo Gen became more sure of his guess. He walked up to Duan Qing and said with a half-smile, "Fellow Taoist, you are from the Jin Xuan Sect. Why do you have to cover up when you go to your Jinlanfang and dress like this?" Showing people, is there something hidden?"
Duan Qing's mind was racing, wondering where he had exposed his flaw. After listening to Mo Gen's words, he suddenly realized, "Pretend!" Yes, when I met this person in the extreme north of Xiaonanjie, the clothes he was wearing were Yanfeng Taoist robes. He should have been recognized by this person at that time!
"So what?" Duan Qing pretended to be indifferent and said. Since he had guessed it, he could no longer deny it just to arouse his suspicion. It would be better to admit it openly than to do so.
"I'm not interested in the origin of fellow Taoist, I just want to ask fellow daoist for a favor!" Mo Gen still had that half-smiling expression.
Duan Qing naturally understood what Mo Gen meant by this, didn't he clearly threaten him? But if he didn't agree to Mo Gen, he might actually go to someone from Jin Xuanzong to expose him!
But regardless of whether he agrees or not, if he gets caught by him, he will have endless troubles in the future. If Mo Gen threatens him once, he will threaten him a second time and a third time! At this moment, his murderous intention suddenly arose!
At this time, the two of them were not far from Fangshi, and they could still vaguely hear the noise coming from Fangshi.
No! Although Mo Gen is only in the early stage of transformation, he is not sure to take his life instantly without a sneak attack. If he escapes or even recruits his accomplices, he will have no place in the third heaven in the future!
"Fellow Taoist, just say it's okay!" Duan Qing's expression changed and he said warmly. After weighing the pros and cons, he still felt that he should stabilize Mo Gen first, and then look for opportunities to strike later!
"Fellow Daoist Duan is so happy!"
Seeing that Duan Qing had reached a consensus with him, Mo Gen showed a knowing smile. To be honest, he was still somewhat interested in the relationship between Duan Qing and Jin Xuanzong, but the most important thing at the moment was to gather the nine people to achieve the Mortal Realm together. That treasure.
The beast tide often occurs in the middle of the monster's violent period. The beast tide has ended for about ten days now, which means that the monster's one-month violent period is coming to an end, and the three-month winter break will soon come.
The only chance to get the treasure is when the monsters are inactive during the winter break. If we can't find all nine people to get the treasure on time this time, we will have to wait until the next winter break, and what will happen during this year? Variables, no one can say for sure!
Therefore, knowing that Duan Qing was not willing to help, he still had to take the risk. Who told him that he was short of money and was not given many spiritual stones, so it was difficult to invite others!
"It's like this. I accidentally discovered a treasure in the sea in the bottle. It is impossible to get it without gathering nine mortals. Now I have summoned my friends to find eight Taoist friends who have transformed from mortals. I am just missing the last one." In fact, now. Among the nine mortals, two have not yet reached the late stage of mortal transformation, and they are even two short of the ordinary mortal realm. But Mo Gen said without blushing that there was only one person left, and looked at Duan Qing with a burning look. , the meaning couldn’t be clearer.
"It's such a good thing! Fellow Daoist Mo must take it with me!" Duan Qing's ability to talk nonsense is also extraordinary, and he pretends to be extremely interested.
"Haha, then it's settled! Fellow Taoist Duan will wait for my news when we will set off." Mo Genpi smiled.
Then the two left their marks on their jade slips and left.
As soon as he returned to the cave, Duan Qing's face suddenly darkened. He was threatened for no reason. It would be strange for him to feel better!
Mo Gen, Mo Gen! You're seeking death yourself, but I can't blame you!
That Mo Gen was already a person he must kill in his heart, and he would never hold back if given the chance. Keeping this person alive would sooner or later be a disaster, and might even implicate Sheng'er, which he would never tolerate.
Five days later, Fangshikou.
"Boy Mo, if you're tricking me into making my trip with Daoist Ji go in vain, don't blame me for being ruthless!" A white-haired old man said rudely to Mo Gen. A middle-aged frail man stood beside him. He looked at Mo Gen with the same unkind expression.
"Don't worry, Senior Xia and Senior Ji, I saw it with my own eyes a year ago, it was definitely the Seven Dragon Pill!" Mo Gen said with great confidence. Although he was very respectful to the two on the surface, he cursed them in his heart. The two old assholes relied on their high cultivation to take 80% of the value of the Seven Dragon Pill. It was only after he begged them very hard that they were willing to help him!
After deducting the cost of asking the other six Transcendents to help, he could only get about 10% of the remaining 20%!
As time went by, people came to join the three people. In addition to the two Transcendents and Mo Gen, the remaining five people were a young man and woman, two men, one fat and one thin, and an ordinary-looking woman.
Duan Qing was the last person to arrive. When he arrived, many of the eight people present cast dissatisfied eyes at him.
"Daoyou Duan is here too. Let me introduce him to everyone!" Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit cold, Mo Gen quickly spoke to dispel the awkward atmosphere.
"These two are Senior Xia and Senior Ji from Jubao Pavilion. Both of them are in the late stage of Transcendental." Mo Gen first introduced the old man and the frail middle-aged man to everyone.
After that, he pointed to the young man and woman and introduced them: "This is Fellow Daoist Liu and Fellow Daoist Lu, the two are Daoists."
Then he pointed to two men, one fat and one thin. This is Fellow Daoist Lin and Fellow Daoist Yue. "
"This is Fellow Daoist Shui and Fellow Daoist Duan." Finally, he pointed to the ordinary-looking young woman and Duan Qingdao.
