Chapter 417: Mining Area of Death (2/2)

Lou Chuanhe’s woodified body began showing visible signs of recovery. Half an incense’s time later, Mo Wuji loosened his grip and threw a pill into Lou Chuanhe’s mouth. The efficacy of the pill was incredible. A minute later, Lou Chuanhe opened his eyes and sat up.

”Junior Mo…” Lou Chuanhe’s gaze fell on Mo Wuji, and immediately he knew what was going on. ”Junior Mo, you saved me?”

After realising that it was indeed Mo Wuji that saved his life, Lou Chuanhe was shocked. While he had not been in the domain for long, he at least knew that having spirit channels woodified was equivalent to death. Otherwise, why wouldn’t that Meng Tianyu have killed him?

To that Mo Wuji simply laughed it off, ”You’re a lucky man. It just so happens that I know a method of neutralising the acute wood energy.”

”Then I’m afraid that Meng Tianyu won’t let us go.” Lou Chuanhe got the full picture. Since Mo Wuji could neutralise the acute wood energy to save him, Meng Tianyu would not let either of them go. Even a fool knew what someone with the means to neutralise acute wood energy was worth in the Half Immortal Domain.

All this while he was not surprised at Mo Wuji’s ability to dissipate acute wood energy. Since Mo Wuji could emerge from the space canyon, it didn’t seem impossible for him to do this.

With a snicker, Mo Wuji replied, ”It’s not that he won’t let us go. Instead, I’ll be the one that won’t let him go. We’ll spend some time in the Mining Area of Death to do some mining, and once our cultivation levels have improved, we’ll return to the Half Immortal Domain.”

”Dao Friend Lou…” Jia Qi, who had just entered the cabin, saw Lou Chuanhe alive and well, and was stunned. A short while later, he regained his senses, and continued, ”Dao Friend Mo, you really saved Dao Friend Lou…”

It was pretty much guaranteed death as Lou Chuanhe had been wounded by Meng Tianyu’s woodification skill, but who knew that Mo Wuji could use barely an incense’s worth of time to restore Lou Chuanhe to his former state, this…

Master Pu Zi also rushed over, and even his jaw dropped. Lou Chuanhe’s spirit channels had been woodified, but now the Lou Chuanhe standing before him had completely recovered.

Previously, Master Pu Zi thought that it was rather naive for Mo Wuji to bring Lou Chuanhe away, but he just realised who the naive person was. If Mo Wuji could neutralise acute wood energy, then he would be the best candidate for controlling the battleship.

At this point, Master Pu Zi’s killing intent totally vanished, and he bowed respectfully at Mo Wuji after taking in a deep breath, ”Dao Friend Mo, from now on we are teammates. To be honest, when I first found out that you were in possession of this battleship, I wanted to kill you. Thankfully, I did not do so. If you really died, I believe that there would not be a second person in the Half Immortal Domain that can neutralise acute wood energy. Even Meng Tianyu can only manipulate it.”

”Ah…” Jia Qi stared at Master Pu Zi with a shocked expression on his face. She never knew that Master Pu Zi would ever have the thought of killing Mo Wuji. Was Mo Wuji a person you wanted to offend? Master Pu Zi must have been a little too ballsy.

Upon hearing that, Mo Wuji grinned. It was very respectable for Master Pu Zi to speak his mind.

”Dao Friend Mo, Master Pu Zi is a direct person. Since he spoke of these sentiments, it means that they are already in the past.” Jia Qi quickly explained. Now everyone were like grasshoppers on a string, and any internal strife would be asking to die.

Nodding his head, Mo Wuji responded, ”Master Pu Zi is right. Luckily he did not make any moves, otherwise I would have to find a new smithing master.”

These words hit Master Pu Zi like a truck, before he finally replied, ”So you knew of my killing intent all this while?”

Mo Wuji casually brushed it off, ”If I didn’t know, I wouldn’t have survived till this day.”

After this, Jia Qi did not open her mouth anymore. Inside, she was secretly celebrating the fact that Master Pu Zi did not make any move on Mo Wuji. Once Master Pu Zi did something like that and got killed by Mo Wuji, even if he did not kill her too, there would be a certain distance created between them.

As for why she did not think that Mo Wuji could get killed by Master Pu Zi, it was already an ordinary line of thought.

”Dao Friend Mo, we’re still two days away from the Mining Area of Death. I'd like to discuss about my compensation for completing this battleship.” Master Pu Zi never mentioned anything about being compensated firstly because it was not a good time, and secondly because he was also eyeing the battleship.

Now that Mo Wuji could even neutralise the acute wood energy, there would be no person more suitable to take control of the battleship than him.

”Sure, let’s go to the outer deck.” Mo Wuji agreed.

If Master Pu Zi was willing to work with him, he would naturally be agreeable. Not only was Master Pu Zi strong, but his smithing skills were top notch. This was just the companion Mo Wuji was looking for.
