Chapter 531: I Didn’t Move (2/2)

If he needed six Xuan Crossing Pills just to cross into the Xuan Immortal Stage, how many Grand Yi True Pill would he need to advance into the Grand Yi Stage? 10 or maybe 100? What about advancing into the Grand Zhi Stage or the Grand Luo Heavenly Celestial Stage?

Mo Wuji didn’t dare to continue pondering about it because so what if he managed to advance at the expense of a full basket of immortal pills? As a pill refiner, Mo Wuji was clearer than anyone else of the side effects of the immortal pill.

Pills could turn into poison and it was never a good thing to consume too many pills as overconsuming could cause converged spirit channels and weakened spiritual roots.

Whatever the cause of this current bottleneck was, Mo Wuji was not willing to try again. Mo Wuji failed to become a Tier 6 Pill King even after exhausting almost over a 1000 Tier 6 herbs; no other pill refiners would be this extravagant except for a few incredibly wealthy pill refiners.

He only needed about 300 immortal herbs to become a Tier 5 Pill King while he used 1000 Tier 6 immortal herbs and still failed to become a Tier 6 Pill King. So how many Tier 7 immortal herbs would he need to advance to become a Tier 7 Pill Emperor? Forget about thousands of Tier 7 immortal herbs because even 1000 Tier 7 immortal herbs were enough to make a sect go bankrupt.

Additionally, the difference in the gap between a Tier 5 and 6 Pill King was simply not comparable to the difference between a Tier 6 Pill King and a Tier 7 Pill Emperor.

Mo Wuji sighed as he realised that he was simply too idealistic previously. The reason why there were so little pill emperors around was that the difficulties in advancing to become a pill emperor were something he could never imagine.

After tidying up a little, Mo Wuji walked out of his concealment array.

Mo Wuji was astonished as he walked out. He knew for sure that there were over 200 people in this hall but he could only see over 20 people left here.

Where did everyone else go? Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to scan and he could sense that the fog was still there.

”Senior Brother Mo, you are finally out,” An average built, ordinary looking young cultivator greeted Mo Wuji the moment he noticed him.

Mo Wuji asked, ”Immortal Friend Zuo, why are there so little people left? What happened to everyone else?”

Mo Wuji recognised Zuo Yixian as a cultivator from the Yong Ying Immortal Domain and felt that he was a decent person. The reason why he was able to receive over 50 Tier 7 immortal herbs was mainly because Zuo Yixian stood out to speak for him.

”The fog here will disappear after a while and when the people saw that the fog disappeared, most of them left,” Zuo Yixian hurried to explain.

”So why are the rest of you still here?” Mo Wuji was even more curious. He understood why Murong Xiangyu didn’t leave but didn’t understand why the rest of them were still here. Murong Xiangyu still had seven pages of the Book of Luo so it would make sense if she wouldn’t dare to leave alone.

Zuo Yixian waved his hand and the remaining cultivators all gathered around before he spoke, ”These are the cultivators from the Yong Ying Immortal Domain and while a portion of them left with Gui Yi from the Supreme Dao Sect, the rest of them were willing to stay back with me. I was hoping to greet you after you come out but we didn’t expect the fog to come back so soon after disappearing. The fog was still on and off and so we were glad we didn’t leave because otherwise, we might not be able to return even if we wanted to.

Mo Wuji understood his intentions instantly. Murong Xiangyu didn’t leave because she didn’t dare to leave but Zuo Yixian didn’t leave was simply because he was worried Mo Wuji would not understand why no one else was around after he came out from his closed doors.

Mo Wuji patted on Zuo Yixian’s shoulder and said, ”Thank you and I will definitely befriend a person like Brother Zuo. I am pretty reputable at the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins and even opened a small pill house called the Tian Ji Pill Court. Whenever Brother Zuo needs help in the future, feel free to visit my Tian Ji Pill Court.”

Hearing Mo Wuji’s words, Zuo Yixian said yes excitedly. No matter what Mo Wuji’s origins was, Zuo Yixian could tell from Mo Wuji’s performance earlier that even if his father, castellan of the Sea Canopy Immortal City, Zuo Qianwei were to visit the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, he might not be as reputable as Mo Wuji. Befriending a strong figure like Mo Wuji would only benefit him and not do him any harm.

”Everyone do not worry because if others could leave this place, I would be able to bring everyone out. Staying here is not a plan for the long term so wait for me to check this out,” Mo Wuji clasped his fists towards everyone around him.

After saying this, Mo Wuji walked to the position of the array entrance and before he opened up the defensive array, the fog retreated.

A few corpses were seen on the floor and from their clothing, Mo Wuji was able to tell that these corpses belonged to those cultivators who were with him split the immortal essence crystals.

The only abnormality was that the storage rings of these cultivators were all missing.

”Big Brother Mo, the fog had been like this and it will come back soon,” Zuo Yixian explained to Mo Wuji as he saw Mo Wuji staring out.

Because Mo Wuji had already befriended him, he immediately changed the way he addressed Mo Wuji to Big Brother Mo. It was truly an honour to be able to call a person who could oppress a Nine Star Genius his Big Brother.

”I didn’t move… I didn’t move…” A staggering silhouette was coming over from afar and it was the same fella Mo Wuji saw.

Mo Wuji was prepared this time around and before that fella’s primordial spirit disappeared completely, Mo Wuji charged over and used his spiritual will from his spirit storage channel to protect the depleted primordial spirit. Concurrently, Mo Wuji sent some vitality using his vitality channel to stabilise this fella’s small life.
