Chapter 10: A Glimmer of Hope (2/2)
Lu Jiujun helplessly explained, ”I am also not very clear, but I know that he is very, very strong. Most of the cultivators in Cheng Yu State are merely in the Human Realm. The Human Realm has three stages: Meridian Expansion, Spirit Building, and Escaping Mortality. One will enter into the Earth Realm only after exceeding the Escaping Mortality stage. Meridian Expansion is first stage after opening the spirit. I heard that the strongest geniuses open 99 spirit channels during the Meridian Expansion stage.
To a person with spiritual roots, more spirit channels and tougher and wider ones would result in faster cultivation. Among others in the same stage, he will be stronger, and he will have greater potential. For people like us, with mortal roots, are generally unable to open any spirit channels.
Mo Wuji suddenly had a great idea, and got really excited. ”Brother Lu, is it only those with spiritual roots can open and expand the meridians?”
Lu Jiujun gave Mo Wuji a blank look, ”Its spirit channels, not meridians.”
”Oh, aren't spirit channels the same as meridians? Arteries and veins, aren't they also the same thing?” Mo Wuji laughed. He was also not very sure, but he guessed that it should be so.
Lu Jiujun got confused, and can only say, ”But it's for sure, people with mortal roots do not have meridians. Only those with spiritual roots and opened their spirits have them, and can open their meridians.”
Influenced by Mo Wuji, Lu Jiujun started saying meridians instead of spirit channels.
Mo Wuji secretly clenched his fist. In his previous life, his lover plotted against him because he developed a solution which can open and expand the meridians. If he could develop the same solution here, isn't it possible for him to cultivate like those with spiritual roots?
The moment this idea came out, it was like a burning flame which Mo Wuji could not contain. This rash hope became more and more exuberant.
”Brother Lu, I am sure I can have Dan Han Drug Refinery regain its past fame. However, I have two requests,” Mo Wuji no longer asked about cultivation. He could see that Lu Jiujun did not know much about it.
Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Lu Jiujun's spirits were lifted, immediately saying, ”As long as Master Mo is able to bring Dan Han Drug Refinery back to its past glory, not just two, I will even agree to ten requests.”
As Mo Wuji's words deeply excited him, Lu Jiujun started to call him Master Mo, instead of Brother Mo.
Mo Wuji nodded, ”First, this laboratory is my personal territory. No one is allowed to enter without my orders.”'
”No problem.” Even if Mo Wuji did not mention this request, Lu Jiujun would also not be able to hire another drug refiner.
”Secondly, I will need a variety of medicinal ingredients for my research; I may even need spiritual ingredients. I hope that Dan Han Drug Refinery will be able to meet these needs,” This was Mo Wuji's main focus.
Mo Wuji did not know whether the solution he developed on Earth can open spirit channels and allow essence to be absorbed, but he must try. If he succeeds, it means that he would be able to cultivate despite not having spiritual roots.
Lu Jiujun hesitated before saying, ”Master Mo, if Dan Han Drug Refinery is able to make profits, this will also not a problem.”
Mo Wuji stood up, smiled and offered his hand, ”Old Lu, I look forward to working with you. Choosing me to be your Chief Drug Refiner was a very wise decision.”
Lu Jiujun did not understand the meaning behind Mo Wuji's hands, but he bitterly smiled and shook Mo Wuji's hand. Whether this was a wise choice, he did not know.
