Chapter 162: Where’s This Outer Disciple From

Lightning bolts landed once again in the lightning tempering room, and Mo Wuji could only guide them to attack the 101th meridian. Identical to what happened with the 100th meridian, guiding the lightning bolt to strike the blocked meridian only increased his suffering, yet not causing the blockage to budge a smudge.

At this point, he just downed all remaining bottles of channel opening solution, and just as expected, he opened up to the 108th meridian. However, Mo Wuji knew that these 108 meridians were really only 99 meridians. 9 of them were still blocked and could not be considered meridians. Blocked meridians could not be used for spiritual energy circulation, and did not allow spiritual energy to flow through. As long as they were not cleared, it was as though they were never opened in the first place.

Regarding this, Mo Wuji was not that concerned. While he did not manage to open the 100th meridian, he still advanced to Channel Opening Stage Level 10, which meant that he had the chance to progress to the Extreme Mortality Stage.

Two more hours passed by, and the lightning bolts eventually stopped. He cleaned himself up, then opened the doors to the lightning tempering room. His dishevelled appearance was a total misrepresentation of the happiness he hid. Being able to open 99 meridians and advance to Channel Opening Stage Level 10 had placed him ahead of 99% of the cultivators with spiritual roots.

Now what he needed most was to take some lessons in cultivation, and prepare for the Spirit Building Stage. After this, he had to make a trip to the Pill Pagoda too, to take a look at Yan’Er, and hopefully speak with her for awhile.

As Mo Wuji just left the Immortal Training Tower, Cen Shuyin opened the doors of her ice tempering room. When she arrived four hours ago, lightning tempering room C had a jade token inserted into the groove outside, but now the immortal training tower jade token had been taken away, meaning that Mo Wuji, who had cultivated here for over a day, had just left.

Hence, Cen Shuyin quickened her pace, wanting to catch up with Mo Wuji, but by the time she reached the first floor of the Immortal Training Tower, Mo Wuji was already far far away.

…

”Apprentice brother Mo, you’re finally back. Elder Dai is lecturing on spirit channels today, are you going to listen to him too?” Before Mo Wuji even reached his house, he met the approaching Chao Buheng. As for Mo Wuji’s constant dishevelled and wounded appearance, Chao Buheng was already used to seeing it.

”Of course, let’s go. I’ll go with you.” Without returning to his house, Mo Wuji decided to attend a lecture with Chao Buheng immediately.

Upon receiving Mo Wuji’s favourable reply, Chao Buheng responded excitedly, ”Apprentice brother Mo, let me tell you, Elder Dai Zhu is an expert of the Yuan Dan Stage, and his research into spiritual roots and spirit channels is the deepest in his field. Everytime he lectures on spirit channels, the location will be bursting with people, hence we better reach earlier. For us outer disciples, we have 10 opportunities to attend lectures for free. Once we exceed the 10, we will have to spend contribution points.”

”Thank you apprentice brother Chao.” Mo Wuji gave Chao Buheng’s shoulders a heavy pat. While Chao Buheng was cowardly, he possessed a thirst for knowledge. Since he had arrived at the Heaven Seeking Palace’s outer sect peak, Mo Wuji spent most of his time opening meridians. On the other hand, most of Chao Buheng’s time was spent on cultivating and attending lectures. He probably almost finished using his 10 free lectures by then.

…

The location where Heaven Seeking Pagoda’s disciples went for lectures was the Heaven Seeking Skill Technique Block, a half an hour journey away from the outer sect peak.

Indeed, Chao Buheng was early, and Mo Wuji followed him to register his identity jade token at the Technique Block. When they entered the Technique Block’s lecture hall, there were only two or three people around.

”Apprentice brother Mo, let’s sit here.” Chao Buheng chose a seat at the back corner and sat down. Puzzled by his actions, Mo Wuji pointed at the seats in the center of the hall and asked, ”Apprentice brother Chao, sitting there will naturally allow us to listen to the lecture more clearly, and we can ask any questions that we may have immediately, why should we sit at the back instead?”

Chao Buheng quickly explained, ”Even if we were to sit there now, we’ll have to give them up eventually. The people here are all experts, and once you don’t give up the seat, they will attack you. Only those who are at the peak of Channel Opening Stage dare to sit in front, and also some Channel Opening Stage geniuses from the inner sect…”

Slightly surprised, Mo Wuji questioned, ”Apprentice brother Chao, aren’t there any Spirit Building Stage disciples coming to listen to the lecture?”

It was not surprising for inner sect Channel Opening Stage disciples to come for the lecture. Mo Wuji could remember that most of the outer sect disciples that climbed the sky staircase were Spirit Building Stage cultivators, unless those people did not attend lectures?

Explaining the situation, Chao Buheng spoke, ”This is where Channel Opening Stage disciples go for lectures, but since it’s Elder Dai lecturing on spirit channels, perhaps there will be Spirit Building Stage disciples around . However, all of us only have 10 chances to go for lectures for free,so I guess many Spirit Building Stage apprentice brothers won’t likely waste that opportunity.”

Mo Wuji nodded in agreement, ”Apprentice brother Chao, let’s just sit in the center.”

Listening to a lecture as different from climbing the Sky Staircase. Mo Wuji could lie low while climbing the Sky Staircase, because he was afraid it would affect his safety and interests. However for something like listening to a lecture which also affected his own interests, he definitely would not keep quiet.

What if he sat at the back and missed or misunderstood what the technique lecturer was saying but did not have the chance to clarify? It would be such a waste.

Fighting for seats seemed rather ridiculous though, couldn’t it be based on first come first serve? Mo Wuji would be coming for lectures very frequently in the future, so once he sits at the back one time, he would be fated for the back forever. Moreover, this was the location of lectures for Channel Opening Stage disciples, and as a Channel Opening Stage Level 10 cultivator, none of the other Channel Opening Stage disciples scare him.

When he saw Mo Wuji sitting down at the best seat in front, cold sweat dripped down Chao Buheng’s forehead. However he wasn’t that close with Mo Wuji, so he couldn’t just pull Mo Wuji to the back.
