”I’ve been searching for you for quite some time.” As Mo Wuji just left the Ancient Texts Depository, someone stopped him.
It was Cen Shuyin, without looking at her face, Mo Wuji could recognise her from her voice.
Turning around, he indeed spotted Cen Shuyin walking over. Even though Mo Wuji had nothing to exchange with her, but he couldn’t deny that it was rather enjoyable to feast his eyes on her beauty every time he met her.
”Senior apprentice sister Cen, I really cannot exchange my lightning affinity body tempering technique.” Mo Wuji impatiently said. He knew how much Cen Shuyin desired the body tempering technique that he possessed.
To that, she calmly replied, ”I desperately need your lightning body tempering technique, and can do a trade with you for it. Just now were you stopped from entering the Ancient Texts Depository to read books? If you’re willing, I can use the sect’s contribution points to exchange for it.”
If it was possible, Mo Wuji would trade with Cen Shuyin without any hesitation. He was totally unwilling to do any nonsense tasks, as he wanted to make good use of all the time on hand for cultivation and advancement. However, he really did not have any lightning body tempering technique.
As Mo Wuji did not respond, Cen Shuyin continued, ”I’ve searched from the Immortal Training Tower to the outer sect peak, then the Technique hall, and finally the Ancient Texts Depository…”
At that point, Cen Shuyin bit her lip, perhaps unintentionally, but this move made her overflowing beauty even more prominent.
”Because this lightning body tempering technique is really important to me…” Cen Shuyin changed her tone. This was the first time she had to speak this much. Moreover, it was towards a male cultivator that she basically was not acquainted to.
Still, Mo Wuji was very impatient, and after a good period of hesitation, he suddenly said, ”Since you know that I attended a lecture, I’ll ask you a question based on today’s lesson, if you’re able to answer it correctly, I’ll give you the body tempering technique.”
”Okay, ask away!” Hearing Mo Wuji’s words, Cen Shuyin’s face revealed an extremely ecstatic expression. She looked like a small girl who was excited about some candy.
At this moment, Mo Wuji suddenly thought of Xia Ruoyin, back when she was still young, and before she became cold and quiet. In reality, Xia Ruoyin was very boisterous at a young age, and was often very expressive, like how Cen Shuyin had just burst with happiness. Sometimes simply because of candy, sometimes just to make Mo Wuji happy.
”Junior apprentice brother Mo, ask away,” The question never left Mo Wuji’s mouth, hence Cen Shuyin reminded him again.
A distracted Mo Wuji regained his senses, as he abruptly recalled Xia Ruoyin, Cen Shuyin’s perfect image had suddenly vanished. The Cen Shuyin before him had become just another female cultivator seeking to trade for her own benefit.
”In normal circumstances, even the most talented cultivator would only be able to open 99 spirit channels when opening the spirit at the Channel Opening Stage. However, there are a few rare cultivators that can open 100 spirit channels, even 101 spirit channels. So let me ask you, if you had already opened the 99th spirit channel, how would you open the 100th one?”
Mo Wuji was trying his best to put his emotions away, and composed himself before asking the most crucial question that he needed the answer to.
He was very confident that Cen Shuyin would not be able to answer this. No matter how impressive she was, it was only in terms of cultivation. She couldn’t be be even better in knowledge than Dai Zhu, who specialised in spirit channel research.
With a few nods, Cen Shuyin became calm and serious, ”In the ancient world of cultivation, opening the 100th spirit channel was actually not a rarity. Not only the 100th spirit channel, some people had also opened the 101th one. Both the 100th and 101th spirit channels are called the Elemental Storage Channels. There’s only one way to open the 100th spirit channel, which is to advance to Channel Opening Stage Level 10, and once there, use the Sky Channel Flower to build the spirit, because you only can do so at Channel Opening Stage Level 10. At the instant that the Sky Channel Flower builds the spirit, the 100th spirit channel can be opened…”
Stunned, Mo Wuji stood there motionless. Originally, he wanted to ask a difficult question to make Cen Shuyin back off . That would mean that it wasn’t that he didn’t want to sell the technique to her, but it was because she couldn’t answer the question from him.
Before asking her, the thought that Cen Shuyin would be able to answer such a question never popped into Mo Wuji’s mind. This was exactly the answer he wanted to find at the Ancient Texts Depository. He had even made preparations for what to do in the event that he did not obtain the information that he required, but who knew that he would get the answer with such ease.
Spirit building at Channel Opening Stage Level 10 could be done with the Sky Channel Flower, and at the moment that the spirit was built, you could use it to open the 100th spirit channel too.
The answer was that simple, but even a master level spirit channel researcher like Dai Zhu did not know about it while Cen Shuyin did.
Yet Mo Wuji still remained silent, which worried Cen Shuyin. She was afraid that Mo Wuji would not keep his word, hence she added on, ”I know that the Sky Channel Flower only grows at one location on the whole Lost Continent, which is the Lost Sky Ruins.”
”Lost Sky Ruins? Where is that?” Mo Wuji asked subconsciously.
