Chapter 148: Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal

In this sort of situation, Mo Wuji could not be merciful at all, so he swung the Tian Ji Pole straight at the neck of the guy wielding the gigantic scissors.

With a crack, this cultivator’s neck and his shoulder on one side was smashed to a pulp by the swing of Mo Wuji’s pole, and he fell to the ground without making a sound.

Mo Wuji quickly dug up the Lingzhi and kept it in his storage bag. Yu Zhi also picked up the guy’s storage bag that fell to the ground.

From the time Mo Wuji dug up the Lingzhi, to this cultivator ambushing him with the giant scissors, then to Mo Wuji and Yu Zhi joining forces to kill that guy, barely a few breaths worth of time had passed. Both of them worked together as though as they had done so before, with impeccable teamwork.

”You dare kill my junior apprentice brother, kneel before me…” A wild aura came extended in their direction, and a punch towards Mo Wuji and Yu Zhi soon followed. Even with the both of them combined, they could not block this aura, and were pushed back to the point that both their legs gave out cracking sounds. Mo Wuji clenched his teeth, but just as he was prepare to release a burst of Lightning Flash, a wave of energy exploded forth from his side.

This came as a shock. If that strong wave of energy landed on his back, he would have been dead meat.

”Bang!” Two waves of spiritual energy slammed together, blowing up a gigantic crater in the ground. Mo Wuji could also feel the pressure surrounding his body lessen, hence he gave up using Lightning Flash.

Following which, he heard a calm voice say, ”So what if we killed your junior apprentice brother?”

”Hou Yucheng, are you going to intervene?” A muscular man landed not far away from Mo Wuji. It was him that ambushed Mo Wuji and Yu Zhi.

”Brother Hou, thanks for the assistance. Senior Qu, I didn’t think that we’d manage to meet again.” Mo Wuji turned around to see Hou Yucheng and Qu Wan’Er standing there.

If it were not for their appearance, while he could have used Lightning Flash to resolve the previous strike, it would have been difficult to escape from this muscular man with his life. This guy was probably at least at Transcending Mortality Intermediate Stage, and he was just at Channel Opening Stage Level 9. Yu Zhi was at most at the Great Circle of Spirit Building Stage.

Hou Yucheng grinned at Mo Wuji, ”After all we’re teammates that scaled the ice mountain together.”

After completing that sentence, he turned around towards the muscular man and said, ”I’m definitely intervening in this matter. If there’s any issue, come at me.” The man gave a death stare at Mo Wuji and Yu Zhi, and without saying another word, turned around to leave. Hou Yucheng was much stronger than him, and also belonged to a large sect. He could not stand up to Hou Yucheng at all.

”Brother Mo, I knew that you were all right. And indeed you are.” Hou Yucheng bowed respectfully to Mo Wuji.

Qu Wan’Er added on at the side, ”Senior Hou thought that something happened to you, and always felt guilty in his heart, saying that it was him that asked you to come along. Thankfully, you’re safe and sound.”

For Hou Yucheng, Mo Wuji still felt that he could not read him or see through his motives completely. However, this time Hou Yucheng acted to save his life, for this he was extremely grateful.

While all of the spiritual herbs in the vicinity had been snatched clean, the three of them did not leave, but stayed to exchange stories about the past. In the process, Mo Wuji found out from Hou Yucheng that the two sides of the gorge was indeed spiritual veins, hence many spiritual herbs naturally grew in the middle of the two spiritual veins. As time passed by, the poorer quality spiritual herbs were competed out of the ecosystem, leaving the top grade spiritual herbs behind.

After that, Mo Wuji briefly explained how he managed to survive, being trapped in a icy hall, then enduring all that hardship before escaping with his life. He did conveniently leave out his haul from the icy hall, and Hou Yucheng did not ask about it either. Naturally, Mo Wuji did not question Hou Yucheng and Qu Wan’Er about what they got from the ice mountain.

Seeing that Mo Wuji was acquainted with Hou Yucheng and Qu Wan’Er, Yu Zhi quietened down. Previously, he agreed to stay by Mo Wuji’s side because he was not afraid of Mo Wuji taking his spiritual herbs. Now that Mo Wuji knew people much stronger than Yu Zhi, if he wanted to take all the spiritual herbs for himself, Yu Zhi would not be able to do a thing. Luckily Yu Zhe had left a few stalks of spiritual herbs for himself.

Just when Yu Zhi was in a state of unease, Mo Wuji called him over, and said to Hou Yucheng and Qu Wan’Er, ”This is Yu Zhi, his wife is ill, so he asked me to help him concoct some pills, hence we came here to look for spiritual herbs.”

Hearing Mo Wuji introduce him allowed Yu Zhi to heave a sigh of relief, and quickly returned the greetings. A rogue cultivator like him felt extremely inferior and lowly in the presence of genius disciples like Hou Yucheng and Qu Wan’Er. At least Mo Wuji had the title of pill refiner.

”Oh, which spiritual herbs are brother Yu still lacking?” Hou Yucheng maintained his courteous attitude, which did not change a single bit despite Yu Zhi’s status as a rogue cultivator.

Mo Wuji quickly replied, ”We’re still lacking the Sky Spider Fruit and Extreme Orchid Flower. These two spiritual herbs are relatively common, so I believe we’ll be able to find some in the depths of this natural gorge…”

As he spoke these words, Mo Wuji felt quite ashamed of himself. His original reason for coming here was to help Yu Zhi harvest Sky Spider Fruits and Extreme Orchid Flowers, but the first thing he snatched up was a 100,000 Year Old Lingzhi. By the time the Lingzhi came into his possession, no other spiritual herbs was left.

Qu Wan’Er smiled, ”Then there’s no need to carry on searching, I have these two spiritual herbs with me.” While she spoke, many stalks of spiritual herbs appeared in her hands. They were exactly the Sky Spider Fruit and Extreme Orchid Flower that he was looking for.
