”Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal! ” Zhen Shaoke replied, ”This is a type of crystal that grows below the icy terrane. Strictly speaking, it is not considered an ice crystal as it is in fact something that can only grow with ice crystals surrounding it.”
”Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal? What is it used for?” This was the first time Mo Wuji heard of such a thing.
Zhen Shaoke said with some admiration, ”Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal is actually worth way more than the Flower of True Gods and it is very rare to collect. The many uses for it include being able to wake the sleeping soul as well restoring the broken soul. Even though it is not considered to be able to revive the dead, there isn’t much difference from it. Even experts who have lost their mind and way in the cultivation world can recover immediately with this crystal. Therefore, as soon as such an item appear even in small amount, it will result in many experts fighting over it.”
Mo Wuji felt a little heavy-hearted as such an item must be really tough to get his hands on. Even if he entered the Five Elements Desolate Domain, it would still not be easy for him to find the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal.
”Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal does not exist within the areas owned by the five big empires. It only appears in the Five Elements Desolate Domain. Rumours were that when the Five Elements Desolate Domain opened up three years ago, someone found a piece of it. Nobody knew where the piece or the person who found it went. I’ve heard that the person who found it disappeared without a trace,” Mo Wuji knew the meaning behind Zhen Shaoke’s words. He was trying to imply how dangerous it would be to even possess a Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal.
Just as Mo Wuji was about to inquire further, the ship’s body trembled.
Zhen Shaoke smiled as he stood up, ”We have arrived at the periphery of the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill competition venue. Wuji, please bring your people and follow me.”
Mo Wuji descended the flying ship and the spacious venue caught his eye. There were many people all around the square and numerous tall buildings by the side. These buildings should only be built recently because it seemed very new.
There were all sorts of sects, commercial buildings and row upon rows of restaurants. Mo Wuji would have thought that he entered a brand new cultivation city if he had no idea this was built from a wilderness.
Nine Moons Pill House were neither regarded very highly not too lowly.
Nine Moons Pill House continued business as usual here and there were still quite a few customers.There was a huge door beside the building which held Nine Moons Pill House.
Mo Wuji brought the rest to follow behind Zhen Shaoke into the huge door. They entered a pretty big courtyard which held over 10 houses.
A middle-aged man hurried over to welcome Zhen Shaoke as he approached, ”Lord Shaoke…”
Zhen Shaoke nodded as head and pointed to Mo Wuji and his friends, ”Steward Bu, these are my good friends. Please prepare three houses…”
”Shaoke, you should not be doing this in the future anymore. The houses here are already so cramped up yet you casually brought a group of people here and asked for three houses. You should not be messing around even if you are the Young House Master of the Nine Moons Pill House,” a cold voice interrupted Zhen Shaoke’s words.
Mo Wuji noticed a woman with red phoenix eyes walking over mightily.
Zhen Shaoke gave a slight smile as he bowed and said, ”Greetings Second House Master.”
The red phoenix eyed woman looked friendlier when she felt Zhen Shaoke’s politeness, ”Shaoke, you are no longer a kid. You do know the importance of the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition yet you only arrived today. Normally I couldn’t be bothered when you make friends with dubious people however, you actually brought these people back to Nine Moons Pill House to occupy the houses? Don’t you think this is a little too ridiculous?”
Mo Wuji sighed in his heart and as it did not seem like this master Shaoke would always have the final say in matters here at Nine Moons Pill House. There were still the Old and Second House Master above him. Who knows if there is a third master too? Old master should most likely be Zhen Shaoke’s father. Seeing how mighty this Second House Master was acting, Mo Wuji doubted that his stay here would be peaceful.
Zhen Shaoke’s expression changed as he added seriousness in his tone, ”Second House Master, whoever I befriend with is my own problem. Even my family members should not intervene so please mind your hurtful words.”
Second House Master grunted and was about to continue speaking when they heard an impatient voice, ”Big brother, why have you only arrived today? How was it? Did you find the person you were looking for?”
A muscular black-faced man carrying a hammer on his back appeared.
Seeing this muscular man, Zhen Shaoke revealed yet another smile and then turning to Mo Wuji and said, ”Wuji, this is my younger brother Zhen Shaoru. Shaoru, this is Pill Master Mo and I invited him to represent us in the Five Elements Desolate Domain,” Mo Wuji thought to himself : These two brothers are way too different in terms of their looks and mettle.
Second House Master said bluntly, ”The people representing Nine Moons Pill House at the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition were already decided long ago and we are not planning to include anymore. Shaoke, now is the crucial period for the competition therefore, I do hope that you can bring your friends to stay at some other hotel so as to not affect our pill refiners’ final preparations for the competition.”
