Mo Wuji quickly went forward and greeted the man and woman respectfully, ”The two of us were just curious. We heard that it costs a lot of gold coins to open the spirit. We don't have even have rice to eat, nor do we even have one silver coin, where can we find the gold coins? The two of will leave now.”
The white bearded man had a terrifying gaze. Mo Wuji had an indescribable feeling that he should not continue to stay here.
The woman gave a cold snort, looking at the cloth bag in the hands of Mo Wuji, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. Obviously, she knew that there were gold coins in the cloth bag, and felt both disdain and disgust towards the lying Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji could also be considered to be experienced, and was able to tell the disgust in the woman's eyes. He even suspected that there was a hole in the cloth bag. Otherwise, how did this woman see through his bag?
”Don't be in a rush to leave. Since you're here, why don't you go in and test for your spiritual roots.” The white bearded man hoarsely continued.
Mo Wuji calmed down. He naturally felt that the white bearded man was not targeting him, but Yan'Er who was beside him.But when it comes to Yan'Er's spiritual roots, they have not been tested, unless he has a way to see the spiritual roots? If he wasn't here for Yan'Er, then what was his purpose? Mo Wuji pulled Yan'Er behind him, cautiously said, ”Sir and Ma'am, us siblings do not have gold coins, and do not intend to open the spirits. We will take our leave now.”
The white bearded man said with a smile, “I’m not asking you to open your spirits, and the test does not cost much money, just go in...”
The test does not cost much money? Mo Wuji had some doubts, doesn't the test to determine the spiritual roots cost at least a few hundred gold coins?
”Senior, I heard that just the test alone would cost 500 gold coins. Some people with mortal roots have to spend tens of thousands of gold coins to open the spirits, and that is using the worst elixirs.” If not for the two's extraordinary bearings, Mo Wuji would have suspected that they were human traffickers.
The white bearded man laughed, ”Normally, people only decide to whether to open the spirits when they are determined to have spiritual roots. But whenever people are determined to have mortal roots, they will say that the Spirit Opening Tower is unable to detect all kinds of spiritual roots, and confuse people to directly open the spirits. Either way, the people with mortal roots suffer.”
Mo Wuji completely understood. Opening the spirits will need tens of thousands to millions of gold coins? All this is a scheme by the Spirit Opening Tower. They say they are unable to determine all kinds of spiritual roots, and convince those tested to have mortal roots to truly determine it by opening their spirits.
And to open the spirit will require gold coins. Some people have the same thoughts as them, believing that the elixir they used the first time was not good enough to arouse their ”undetermined spiritual roots”, and they spend more money to open their spirits for a second time.
At this moment, Mo Wuji was a 100% sure that his poor father must have been cheated the first time around.
He did not have spiritual roots, and the schemers at the Spirit Opening Tower still wanted to earn the spirit opening fee. In addition, with Mo Guangyuan's desperate desire for Mo Wuji to cultivate, Mo Guangyuan spent a large sum of money to open the spirit. Of course, all those who got cheated like him were rich lords.
”Stop,” The guard of the Spirit Opening Tower did not know the man and the woman, and stopped them accordingly.
The white bearded man snorted, ”Who's in charge here, get out here right now.”
The white bearded man's snort did not sound loud, but Mo Wuji still felt as though his eardrums were about to be shattered, panic filled his heart.
In just a few seconds, an obese middle-aged man rushed out. He went to open the entrance to the tower, giving the man and the woman a puzzled look. Apparently, even he did not recognise them.
The white bearded man lifted a jade medallion and said, ”Take me to the best spiritual test room here.”
When the obese man saw the jade medallion, his hands trembled slightly, and quickly said respectfully, ”Yes, yes, I am Deacon Liu Chunshan. Please follow me.”
Mo Wuji felt a powerful force pulling him, causing him to involuntarily follow the man and the woman into the tower.
Mo Wuji's face turned black. He did want to test for his spiritual roots, but to be forced in without being able to resist, made him feel very uncomfortable.
