Mo Wuji clenched his fist as his heavily wounded body fell to the ground. The opening of this meridian brought about a greater change to his body than the 72nd meridian did. However, Mo Wuji was very clear that without opening his 72nd meridian, he would definitely not be able to open his 73rd.
After resting for about an hour, Mo Wuji drank yet another bottle of channel opening solution as he set the duration to one hour for the lightning quenching.
If not for his inability to withstand the powerful lightning bolts, Mo Wuji would wish to try the high grade Lightning Tempering Room. Even in the intermediate grade Lightning Tempering Room, Mo Wuji took about an hour to open up a meridian. If he had chosen the low grade Lightning Tempering Room, it would have been highly unlikely for him to even open one meridian.
Even though Mo Wuji was more prepared the second time, he still ended up charred black at the end of the hour. As these lightning bolts fell on Mo Wuji’s body, other than his front chest and back which were protected by the Heaven Crow Natural Silk Armour, the other parts of his body was horrifically wounded.
If Mo Wuji was not a pill refiner, he would not have lasted an incense worth of time.
Other cultivators purchased pills to increase their cultivation level while Mo Wuji concocted pills for recovery. Ever since he started cultivating, he had suffered countless of wounds, with each wound being more severe than the previous one. It was through these severe wounds that he could sublimate himself time after time.
Mo Wuji had no power to resist against the lightning bolts hence, he could only forcefully direct the lightning bolts to open his meridians. He lost his ability to block or avoid the incoming lightning bolts.
”Plop!” After an hour, Mo Wuji could no longer hold on anymore as he fell to the ground desperately trying to catch his breath.
Meridian number 74 had finally been successfully opened. After suffering inhumane torture in this Lighting Tempering Room for two hours, he managed to successfully open two meridians.
Despite wishing to continue, Mo Wuji knew very clearly that his body could not take it anymore. If he were to force himself to continue, he might not be able to keep this small life of his.
More importantly, he had finished all his healing pills. He needed to purchase a new furnace or make use of the sect’s pill refinement lab to concoct a new batch of healing pills.
After resting for yet another hour. Mo Wuji cleaned himself up very quickly and changed into a fresh set of clothes before opening the door of the Lightning Tempering Room.
As compared to Mo Wuji’s messy hair and face filled with scars, the woman from next door only looked a little pale.
”Are you okay?” The woman stared surprisingly at Mo Wuji after scanning his entire body with her eyes. She did not think that Mo Wuji was sleeping inside for four hours. From his shabby appearance, she could tell that Mo Wuji had been tempering himself with the lightning bolts.
As long as one had been to an intermediate Lightning Tempering Room to cultivate before, they would usually stay for minimally half an incense worth of time. The fact that Mo Wuji could come out after half an incense worth of time without sustaining any major injury made her extremely astonished. From what she could recall, there was definitely no Channel Opening Stage cultivator who could survive half an incense worth of time in an intermediate Lightning Tempering Room.
One must know that she was at Transcending Mortality Stage Level 7 with an ice attribute spiritual root and she could barely hold on for four hours in the Ice Tempering Room. During the four hours, she even had to rest for a full hour.
Mo Wuji laughed as he nodded to express his gratitude for the senior’s reminder before preparing to leave level 12. He was too worn out to even say anything. All he wanted to do now was to rush back to rest and then head out to purchase a new pill furnace or visit the sect’s pill refinement lab.
How could Mo Wuji looked so shabby if he had any lightning affinity body tempering techniques? However, he dare not admit that he had nothing at all because it would not have been possible for him to stay so long in the Lightning Tempering Room without any body tempering techniques.
”Yes,” Mo Wuji gave a simple answer before speeding up his steps.
”My name is Cen Shuyin, a legacy disciple of the Sword Lake Sect,” The woman suddenly reported her name.
Mo Wuji looked cautiously at this woman as he wondered why a legacy disciple would be so interested to befriend him. All he did was to stay slightly longer in the Lightning Tempering Room. Unless she saw something special on him? He did heard of Sword Lake Sect before because Zuo Shaoyi was from that sect.
”Uh, my name is Mo Wuji, an outer disciple of the outer mountain,” Mo Wuji laughed as he answered. When someone took the initiative to introduce herself first, it meant that she was interested to know more about him hence, Mo Wuji would definitely not ignore her as a form of respect.
Cen Shuyin was shocked before sizing Mo Wuji up as she simply did not expect Mo Wuji to be an outer disciple. However, she was not surprised to not feel any spiritual aura from Mo Wuji. For a person with poor spiritual roots, it was already very incredible that Mo Wuji could enter the Heaven Seeking Palace.
She did not continue questioning about Mo Wuji’s background as she said with a little awkwardness, ”That, can you sell me your lightning affinity body tempering technique? Don’t worry, I will offer a good price for you.”
For a cultivator of poor spiritual roots to be able to stay for such long duration in the intermediate grade Lightning Tempering Room, Mo Wuji must have had a very incredible lightning affinity body tempering technique. Cen Shuyin had always longed for a lightning affinity body tempering technique but the pity was that even though there were many of them in the market, the grade of these techniques were too low.
”I am really sorry but my technique is not for sale. I will not sell my technique for any amount of money,” Mo Wuji said apologetically.
It was not that his technique was truly not for sale but Mo Wuji did not have any lightning affinity body tempering techniques to begin with so how could he sell it? If he actually had something like that, he would not mind selling it because once he learnt the technique, why would he not sell it for money?
Cen Shuying revealed a face of disappointment because honestly, she had never pleaded anyone for anything. Therefore, this was actually her first time being rejected without any shred of hesitation.
