Chapter 542: Grand Alchemy Competition’s Slot (2/2)

Mo Wuji nodded, ”Say it, as long as it is within my means, I will go all out to help you.”

Wen Lianxi sat back down and even though she was slightly embarrassed to say it, for her father and for Water Ying Immortal City, she had no other choice, ”Big Brother Mo, are you aware of the upcoming Grand Alchemy Competition held by the Yong Ying Immortal Domain?”

”Yes I am aware,” Mo Wuji was definitely aware because this was also the reason why he was here and even if Wen Lianxi didn’t ask, he would ask her about it.

Wen Lianxi didn’t find it surprising because to her, Mo Wuji might have already become a Pill King now and his trip here would definitely be for the Yunxian Immortal Valley.

”Actually, other than the Yunxian Immortal Valley was another important reason for the Grand Alchemy Competition,” Wen Lianxi continued.

”What reason?” Mo Wuji asked.

Wen Lianxi regained her composure before saying in a gentle tone, ”Because after this competition, a few lower grade immortal cities of the Yong Ying Immortal Domain would turn into subsidiary cities of other cities and lose its sovereignty. If they performed well, the lower grade immortal cities could advance to become a intermediate or even top grade immortal cities.”

Mo Wuji inquire curiously, ”What does that mean? I know there are three grades of immortal cities but I have never heard of subsidiary cities.”

Mo Wuji wasn’t completely clueless as to the grades of immortal cities. In the Yong Ying Immortal Domain, the Yong Ying Immortal City was considered to be a first class immortal city, a Heavenly Emperor’s immortal city. Following which would be high grade immortal city, intermediate grade immortal city and low grade immortal city. The best high grade immortal city could even be as strong as a Heavenly Emperor’s immortal city. For example, young castellan Zuo Yixian came from the Sea Canopy Immortal City and it was of similar status as this Yong Ying Immortal City.

Wen Lianxi knew that Mo Wuji should have just arrived from the Corner of Yong Ying so he wouldn’t know too much about all these hence, she wasn’t too surprised. She simply explained, ”Subsidiary immortal cities are intermediate or high grade immortal cities’ vassals and the castellan of these subsidiary cities would listen to every order of the intermediate or high grade immortal cities. Normally, the castellan of the subsidiary cities would be killed and every output produced from the subsidiary cities would belong to someone else but themselves.

My father is the castellan of the Water Ying Immortal City and if my Water Ying Immortal City were to turn into a subsidiary city, my family would have no escape route. Even my mother and I would have to be attached to someone else and my father would most probably be killed. Therefore, I would like to request Big Brother Mo to represent my Water Ying Immortal City in the competition this time round and save my entire clan.”

Mo Wuji finally understood why Wen Lianxi was so anxious when she first saw him. Mo Wuji had originally intended to look for a powerhouse to represent so that he could participate in the Grand Alchemy Competition. This would be the perfect opportunity for him to help Wen Lianxi.

As he noticed how nervous Wen Lianxi was as she grabbed onto her dress tightly, Mo Wuji chuckled, ”I was still wondering what could it be. I was intending to participate in the competition and since this is the case, bring me to meet your father.”

Hearing Mo Wuji’s words, Wen Lianxi handed a jade token to Mo Wuji excitedly, ”There is no need to meet my father. My Water Ying Immortal City has two slots for the competition and my father gave me one which made me free to choose anyone.

Wen Lianxi had no other choice which was why she was at the Yong Ying Immortal City’s Celebrity Immortal Conference. The conference would gather a few more notable and reputable young cultivators which she hoped to find someone capable. Eventually, she heard news of Mo Wuji was why she hurried over.

Mo Wuji took over the jade token and comforted her, ”I have accepted your request so do not worry. Oh yes, are there any restrictions for the Yong Ying Immortal Domain Grand Alchemy Competition?”

”There are only the age and domains restriction. The first condition would be that one must come from the Yong Ying Immortal Domain and the second condition would be that one must not be older than 500 years old. In the competition this time round, one must aim for the top 50,” The rock in Wen Lianxi’s heart was finally removed as she saw Mo Wuji accepting the token. Mo Wuji was someone who Pill King Lian Tan admired so he mustn’t be too poor.

Mo Wuji pondered for a while before saying, ”Previously, I’ve done something in the Corner of Yong Ying so I wish to change my name to Mo Xinghe to represent the Water Ying Immortal City this time round.”

Wen Lianxi hurried to say, ”I’m aware of all those incidents but those aren’t important right now. After the incident regarding the Lifeless River, nobody bothered about the incident at the Corner of Yong Ying. Even though someone complained to the Heavenly Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor didn’t have any reaction too. Furthermore, the people you killed back then were some unimportant people so naturally, nobody paid too much attention to it.”

Mo Wuji knew that Wen Lianxi was a little too simplistic as he was friends with Zuo Yixian and Cang Heng, he knew that the incident involving the Corner of Yong Ying and the Yong Ying Prison was not that simple. Even if the Half Immortal Domain collapsed and the Corner of Yong Ying wasn’t given as much attention as the past, he would still invite a lot of unnecessary troubles the moment he was found out.

However, Mo Wuji wasn’t fearful of that because he came to participate in this Grand Alchemy Competition with something to depend on. Given his status as an Honoured Grade Elder at the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, nobody would dare to touch him even if they knew he came from the Half Immortal Domain. He wanted to change his name only because he really didn’t want too much troubles.

After finding a slot for himself to participate in the competition, Mo Wuji’s spirits was lifted as he stood up, ”Since this is the case, I will head back to rest first and when the competition starts, I will definitely not waste any time.”

Mo Wuji was desperate to find a place to refine his Book of Luo. There was still about half a year before the competition begins so it would be a waste if he didn’t make full use of this spare time.

Wen Lianxi stood up together with Mo Wuji and she was also feeling much better than when she first arrived. Before she had a chance to bid goodbye to Mo Wuji, her communication bracelet lit up. Just as Wen Lianxi’s spiritual will landed on the bracelet, her face turned pale instantly.
