Chapter 109: 2nd Visit to the Lightning Tempering Room
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor:
Only after entering the Lightning tempering room that Mo Wuji recalled about Bi Luo sect. Back on the boat from Rao Zhou to Chang Luo, wasn’t Shao Feng, the guy who wanted to murder him, from Bi Luo sect too? Looks like everyone from the same sect had their eyes grown on their forehead.
Mo Wuji did not put such matters to heart. He had completely forgotten about this He Jianting fella very quickly.
After placing the package containing some spirit stones, pills and his clothing by the side, he went on to put some bottles of the Channel Opening Solutions around the epicentre of the lightning strikes. This was such that he could easily reach out for these solutions without leaving the epicentre. Mo Wuji then calmed himself down before walking over to the ‘Begin Training’ handle to pull it down.
A lightning bolt fell and Mo Wuji took the full impact directly without any hesitation.
Using the Spiritual Energy Circulation Technique found in the , Mo Wuji redirected the lightning bolt that fell on his body into his new meridian.
After seven to eight lightning bolts, Mo Wuji could feel the 37th meridian opening up gradually. At the peak of the Spiritual Energy Circulation Technique, the sluggish clogging of the meridian disappeared promptly. This made his whole body felt at ease and overwhelmed with delight.
Mo Wuji clenched his fist as he confirmed that the 37th meridian was indeed of a much higher quality. After opening only a single meridian, Mo Wuji could feel as those he could break into Channel Opening Stage Level 5 easily.
Mo Wuji would naturally not continue cultivating now as he drank yet another bottle of the Channel Opening Solution. Before the fiery line of flame burned open a new meridian, he started using the Spiritual Energy Circulation Technique concurrently to redirect the lightning bolts to bombard that same meridian.
“Pipi papa… Ka Ka…”
Inside the Lightning tempering room which Mo Wuji was in, all that could be heard was the pipa sound when lightning bolt struck him, the sound of his bone cracking as well as the sound of relief as the solution worked its way in his body. The smell of burnt clothes and charred skin was also very evident.
If there was someone here, he would have thought Mo Wuji had to be dead after all these.
At the moment, Mo Wuji’s skin was charred black and his whole body was filled with many lightning scars.
Even as more meridians were being opened up, Mo Wuji was already reaching his limits of physical exhaustion. Previously, Mo Wuji would find ways to take a short break. However, he had no thoughts of taking a break this time round. This was because he was constantly worried that the moment he stopped to rest, the solution might not work like the previous time again.
Even though the probability of this happening was very low, Mo Wuji was not willing to take such a risk.
Number 40,41,42...
Before he knew how many bottles of solutions he drank, Mo Wuji had already opened up 60 meridians. Previously, Mo Wuji had thoughts of opening up meridians and cultivate simultaneously. However, he only had eyes for opening meridians now. The most important thing to him presently was to open as many as he could as he could cultivate any other time.
“Ka!” As Mo Wuji’s 61st meridian was being opened, his whole body fell to the ground, paralysed. As he struggled to continue drinking the Channel Opening Solution, there was no more lightning bolts around.
10 hours just passed by like that? Mo Wuji rested in the epicentre of the lightning tempering room for 10 minutes before stumbling to his feet to swallow some pills he retrieved from his bag.
He had decided to go down to settle the payment first before coming up again to continue opening his meridians.
After getting changed and keeping the Channel Opening Solutions, Mo Wuji opened the door of the stone chamber. The fact that the first person Mo Wuji saw was He Jianting made Mo Wuji frown. This time round, he was alone.
He Jianting’s face was a little gloomy when he saw Mo Wuji. As Mo Wuji took his jade slip and made his leave, He Jianting immediately slotted his jade slip into the groove before entering the lightning tempering room swiftly.
Mo Wuji did not bother about him at all as he did not have a good impression about this Bi Luo sect. It seemed like there are not many decent people from the Bi Luo sect.
……
“You’ve exceeded by two hours, please hand over 22 more spirit stones,” After collecting Mo Wuji’s jade slip, a cold voice sounded out from the payment counter in the Immortal Training Tower.
12 hours passed by just like that without me realising at all. Mo Wuji secretly whispered to himself.
“Help me make up the 100 spirit stones, I will still be using the lightning tempering room later,” Mo Wuji said while he handed over the 122 spirit stones. 100 spirit stones would allow him to stay in the lightning tempering for 10 hours. Exceeding two hours will cost him another 22 spirit stones. His guess was that the extra two spirit stones was the price for overstaying. Mo Wuji believed that with the 19 bottles of Channel Opening Solution left, another 10 hours should suffice.
The 100 spirit stones were immediately returned through the window, “The lightning tempering room had been booked for the next 10 days. If you are still interested then come back in 10 days.” Mo Wuji knew even without asking that it was that He Jianting who booked it. That fella must be really wealthy. I had to work so hard to concoct these pills to exchange for some spirit stones yet he so casually booked the room for 10 days.
