”Yes, he is Mo Wuji. He was the one who gave me this bracelet,” Qu Wan’Er answered.
Hou Yucheng laughed and said, ”Since that’s the case, junior Wan’Er can have this stalk of Lightning Splitting Grass then.”
Seeing that both Mo Wuji and Hou Yucheng did not want this Lightning Splitting Grass, Qu Wan’Er decided to keep it.
”Pill Master Mo, how did you end up here?” Qu Wan’Er asked after keeping the Lightning Splitting Grass.
She originally wanted to ask Mo Wuji why was he here with his low cultivation level. And since he entered, why would he come so far?
Given Mo Wuji’s pace by foot, even if he did not stop to rest, he should not have reached here so quickly. What she did not know was that Mo Wuji had actually ran for a few days and nights just to get so far.
Mo Wuji said helplessly, ”I don’t know. I just kept walking and when I finally stopped, I’ve arrived here.”
Qu Wan’Er noticed Mo Wuji’s reluctance to speak the truth so she did not question him any further. Instead, Hou Yucheng took the initiative to ask, ”Brother Mo, there is an icy mountain nearby and I’ve heard that it has two Flowers of the True Gods of the ice and water attribute. Do you want to follow us to check it out?”
Mo Wuji stared blankly for a moment. Dong Lun was out to kill Zheng Hefei because he was afraid that the secrets of the icy mountain might be revealed but everyone knows about it now?
Qu Wan’Er hurried to say, ”Senior Hou, Pill Master Mo is only in Channel Opening Stage while everyone who will be heading to the icy mountain are experts. I don’t think it is suitable for Pill Master Mo to go.”
Hou Yucheng laughed, ”I feel that despite being only at Channel Opening Stage, brother Mo has sufficient confidence to enter the icy mountain.”
”Senior Qu, how did you all find out about the icy mountain?” Mo Wuji was very curious about this.
Qu Wan’Er replied, ”It is not just us, at least a hundred others know about the icy mountain in this area too. They are also aware of the existence of the Flower of the True Gods on the icy mountain. Have you been to the One Dao House’s auction sale? The map that they were auctioning depicts this area.”
Back at the auction, he predicted that the secrets of the map would not be safe and he was right as the secrets were indeed revealed.
Mo Wuji was never interested in the Flower of the True Gods and since so many people found out about it, he dismissed the idea of heading towards the icy mountain. It would be a joke for someone like him to go and compete with these experts for the Flower of the True Gods.
”Oh yes, senior Qu, is it true that there is an Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal in the Five Elements Desolate Domain?” Mo Wuji casually asked Qu Wan’Er before she left as he remembered that he still had no clue on where to find the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal.
Hou Yucheng, who was standing by the side, said, ”It is natural for the Five Elements Desolate Domain to have it because the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal is a top grade treasure. It is worth even more than the Flower of the True Gods. I’ve heard that this item could only grow under icy conditions which is why there is a chance of an Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal appearing at the place we’re heading towards.”
After hearing this, Mo Wuji’s spirits were lifted and he said, ”Senior Qu, brother Hou, I would like to rest for a while first. Would it be possible for me to follow you two join the crowd afterwards?”
Hou Yucheng smiled and said, ”No problem at all. Please rest well brother Mo, we will leave two days later as we are a little tired too.”
One had to admit that Hou Yucheng spoke with wonderful demeanor as he showed ample respect even to a Channel Opening Stage cultivator like Mo Wuji.
Since Hou Yucheng had already said it, Qu Wan’Er naturally did not refute. Moreover, she still owed Mo Wuji a favour.
The moment Hou Yucheng and Qu Wan’Er left, Mo Wuji immediately took out a Spirit Depositing Pill, clenched some Earth grade spirit stones and started to circulate his spiritual energy.
This was the first time he used a pill to cultivate and that was only because he was hurt quite badly by the lightning bolt earlier.
Most of the spiritual energy in the surrounding was completely absorbed by Mo Wuji, who was originally at the pinnacle of Channel Opening Stage Level 8. He then managed to advance past Channel Opening Stage Level 8 into Channel Opening Stage Level 9.
As the elementary energy around Mo Wuji started to circulate, the speed of his recovery increased tremendously.
After more than two hours, Mo Wuji let out a loud cry before standing up.
Channel Opening Stage Level 9. Additionally, his wounds were recovering a lot quicker due to his advancement in level. Advancing from Level 8 to Level 9 was as easy as a canal forming when the water comes. [1]
He cleaned himself up before changing to a fresh set of clothes. Even though he still looked battered, he definitely looked much better compared to when he first crawled out of the lightning lake.
As Mo Wuji walked out, he saw Hou Yucheng and Qu Wan’Er conversing from afar.
Seeing Mo Wuji walked out, the duo walked over.
As Hou Yucheng’s eyes fell on Mo Wuji’s body, his eyes lit up as he cupped his fist and said, ”Congratulation Brother Mo on advancing once again.”
