Chapter 52: The Higher You Go, The Harder You Fall (2/2)

The middle aged woman furrowed her eyebrows, and was not very satisfied with the results, pushing for Mo Wuji to take the test again for the third time. It was still the same. A few bits of blue light sparkled for a moment before disappearing.

“Low quality mortal roots, there’s no possibility for you to open your spirit channels. You may leave now.” The middle aged woman finally confirmed the results of the test. The blinding brilliance of blue light from the first try must have been a glitch with the crystal pillar.

The crystal pillar rarely had any issues, but it wasn’t that there were none. It almost caused her to think that some kind of genius was in her presence, wasting the time spent on three tests.

Mo Wuji was devastated, walking out of the room with his head held low. It seemed like the meridians that he opened belonged to the meridian network, not the spirit channel network. If they were spirit channels, he would already have spirit roots.

But what exactly happened with the blue light for the first test? Something must be wrong. His test at Cheng Yu Spirit Opening Tower only yielded a few grey sparkles. However it was blue light flashing this time. Perhaps this had something to do with the lightning source within him?

Now that he had a cultivation technique, no matter what the result, he would go back to start cultivating first. If he really could not cultivate, then he would find a way to learn martial arts.

There was another person that Mo Wuji could not forget: Yan’Er.

Besides his parents, this was the only person he had met that would rather remain hungry and thirsty so that he may have a better life.

Every time he thought of Yan’Er, Mo Wuji would become furious at the woman that took her away.

…

At Tian Luo Hotel, Mo Wuji stepped into a room, closing the door, and taking outimmediately.

“It is a fallacy that spiritual energy appeared after heaven and earth was created. Spiritual energy was created together with the universe. Those born without it, are called mortals. Mortals of my generation, compressed and trained spiritual energy, and achieved longevity…”

The introduction was already so grand, which made Mo Wuji look forward to what lay ahead.

When he saw the terms “compress and train spiritual energy” and “first through the Earth Vein”, he was stunned. He had no idea how to do it. If he could not even do this, how would he carry on cultivating. Cultivation really required the guidance of a master, Mo Wuji sighed in his heart before quickly taking out . Finally, he found what Earth Vein referred to. The first step was to let spiritual energy flow through a spirit channel called the Earth Vein, then circulate it through the whole spirit channel network.

Mo Wuji had already opened three spirit channels, but unfortunately no matter how hard he tried, he could not absorb any natural spiritual energy and pass it through any of his meridians.

Could it be that this was the end? No. Mo Wuji was not satisfied and wanted to try the spiritual energy circulation again.

Continuously working at it for three to four hours, Mo Wuji’s legs became numb from the prolonged sitting.

“Bang, bang!” Just as he was about to lose all hope, two loud knocks on the door were heard.

Mo Wuji angrily threw theto one side, and yanked the door open. At the door, was a rather familiar woman clothed in black. The woman had a perfect figure and she was stunningly beautiful. Mo Wuji did not care how pretty this woman was, immediately shouting, “Do you know that it is bad manners to knock on a guest’s door as you wish? If I were sleeping with a woman inside, would you want to come in to take a look?”

The woman in black was taken aback for a moment by Mo Wuji’s boundless rage. Coincidentally her gaze landed on thethat Mo Wuji threw to one side. Even though that was actually the , but the wordswere larger.

“I’m really sorry for disrupting your training. I was the previous guest who stayed in this suite…”

Once the woman in black finished speaking, Mo Wuji suddenly recalled that he brushed shoulders with a woman while entering the suite. Wasn’t this that woman?

If it were not for her checking out of the room last minute, he would not have a place to stay at. Mo Wuji suppressed his anger, and forcibly apologised, “I’m terribly sorry. I was just on a short fuse because something went wrong with my training. Didn’t you check out already? Why are you still here?”

Mo Wuji’s words were simply boastful lies. In reality he did not even manage to start his cultivation, so how could he have faced any problem during it?
