Chapter 34: Makeshift Market by the Sea
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor:
When Mo Wuji woke up, Yuan Zhenyi and Aunt Eleven were no longer there. Only Ding Bu'Er was with him in the tent.
Despite drinking the whole night, Mo Wuji did not feel hungover. Instead, his whole body felt really relaxed. Ostensibly, Yuan Zhenyi brought out a jar of really good wine.
He seemed to have released all his long pent up pressure and grievances. Mo Wuji was very grateful to Yuan Zhenyi and Aunt Eleven. Those two were people he could befriend.
He opened his bag; the Channel Opening Solution was still there.
The completely relaxed Mo Wuji stood up, grabbed one of the glass bottles and finished it. After opening his first meridian, he did not dare open a second one due to his poor physical state. But now, his body was completely relaxed, and his current state was excellent. This was the best time to drink the Channel Opening Solution.
A line of fire appeared within his body. Mo Wuji could clearly feel a second meridian being opened.
Mo Wuji clenched his fist and completely relaxed himself. If his solution's effects could continue, wouldn't he be a cultivating genius?
Unfortunately, the efforts wore off after two hours. Like when he tried to open his first meridian, his second meridian was stuck at a point.
The experienced Mo Wuji remained calm. He was very clear that the channel opening solution alone was not enough to open a meridian. What he needed to do now, was to find a lightning lake and use the lightning to open his meridians.
This method might be a little cruel to himself, but at least it worked.
Mo Wuji did not intend to try being struck by lightning from the sky. This kind of lightning might directly strike him to death.
If only he had some cultivation manual or technique, then he would not need to put his body through such pain just to open a meridian.
”Wuji, you're awake. Hurry and go wash up. Let's visit the Makeshift Market,” Ding Bu'Er excitedly ran towards him and said.
”Makeshift market?” Mo Wuji asked puzzledly.
Ding Bu'Er laughed and said, ”Ha ha, you wouldn't know about this. I also only found out after Brother Zhenyi brought me there. The Makeshift Market is a market which was hastily put together, and it could disperse at any time. This time around, many people have gathered here to go to Chang Luo. Many of them want to buy things, while many of them also want to sell things, so they set up this temporary market - the Makeshift Market. When the boat to Chang Luo arrives, the market would naturally disperse.”
”I definitely need to see this. Where can I go and wash up?” Mo Wuji quickly said. This Makeshift Market would surely open his eyes to this world. The people heading to the royal capital were largely cultivators. Visiting this market would help him better understand cultivation.
Ding Bu'Er pointed to the sea, ”Isn't it right there?”
Mo Wuji glared at Ding Bu'Er, ”Seawater is salty, you want me to wash up there?”
Ding Bu'Er laughed, ”Who said that seawater must always be salty? This is a freshwater sea. Don't you see many people showering there?”
Freshwater sea? There was no freshwater sea back in Earth. At least Mo Wuji did not know of any. But the universe is vast and there were many planets. There were many things he did not know.
...
Half an hour later, Mo Wuji and Ding Bu'Er appeared in the Makeshift Market.
Looking around, there was an intense flow of people. Shouting and loud peddling could be heard. It was a really lively scene.
”Wuji, do you see that? Elixirs we would not usually see are actually in abundance here. Of course, the prices are outrageously high. The cheapest ones already cost hundreds of gold coins, and the mediocre ones cost at least ten thousand gold coins. I even saw a Clear Sight Fruit selling for 500 thousand gold coins... Right there, where everyone is gathering at. I think it still hasn't been sold.” Ding Bu'Er pointed at a crowd not far away.
”Let's go over and see,” Mo Wuji hurried over.
