Chapter 978: Leaving (2/2)
”Master Mo is leaving High Firmament City?” Qu Chendan hurriedly asked, ”May I ask where Teacher Mo is heading?”
Mo Wuji did not have intentions of hiding his tracks, he said, ”I intend to try my luck in Nirvana Dao City. Perhaps I have will have some luck with Nirvana Learning Academy. There's less than half a year to Learning Academy's assessment. I'm afraid that if I go too late, I wouldn't even find a place to stay.”
Qu Chendan's mouth went agape. He seemed to want to say something but he decided against it.
Di Jie also laughed but didn't say anything further. This left Mo Wuji rather disappointed. There was no need to ask, it would definitely be hard to find a place in Nirvana Dao City now. Qu Chendan and Di Jie were both of high family backings. If they wanted to help him find a place, they would definitely have offered.
From the looks of it, these two core disciples of High Firmament God Sect saw their Teacher Mo as a mere farmer.
”Teacher Mo, we siblings are willing to follow you to Nirvana Dao City,” A clear voice resounded, causing Mo Wuji's eyes to light up.
Dressed in greyish-purple robes, Chi Bing still looked fragile but she was no longer old. Moreover, her aura had already gone back to the World God Stage. Chi Bing could not be considered pretty but she gave people a sense of comfort.
”Sister, you're fine,” Chi Chuan said agitatedly.
Mo Wuji also said, ”Congratulations to Dao Friend Chi on your recovery.”
Chi Bing bowed towards Mo Wuji and said, ”If not for Teacher Mo's help, I, Chi Bing, wouldn't be able to stand here today. I might not even have a chance at reincarnation. Teacher Mo is my younger brother's Big Brother, so you can just call me Chi Bing.”
Mo Wuji waved his hand and said, ”Actually, I should thank the two of you. The two of you allowed me to have a breakthrough in my Dao. Also, the ingredients for your pill was provided by you.”
Mo Wuji was truly rather grateful to them. If he hadn't made this promise to Chi Chuan, he might not have gone to purchase large amounts of Tier 5 god herbs. When he was trading the Rootless God Steel, he wouldn't have added the condition of the Tier 5 god herbs.
It was exactly because he obtained large amounts of Tier 5 god herbs that he could practise on his Tier 5 god pills. And consequently, this allowed him to gain enlightenment on his Mortal Dao and the deficiencies with his Undying World.
”Little Chuan, sister was wrong.” After Chi Bing thanked Mo Wuji, she went on to hold Chi Chuan's hands tightly.
As for what her mistake was, she didn't mention it. Chi Chuan, however, knew what she was talking about. Previously, she told him that even if she died, he definitely couldn't reveal that they had the Purple Nirvana Dao Sand and the Clear Jade God Flower. Less needed to be said about the pill formula for the Solitary God Pill. If these matters were revealed, then they would have died much earlier.
When Chi Chuan had no other options left, he finally decided to reveal these things to Mo Wuji. Not only didn't Mo Wuji try anything malicious, he even did his best to save her.
Qu Chendan could not help but stand up and clasp his fists to Mo Wuji, ”Teacher Mo, my Qu Clan is really impressed with Teacher Mo's capabilities and we would like to invite Teacher Mo to be an Honorary Elder of the Clan. As long as Teacher Mo goes to the Qu Clan, you could choose to stay anywhere in the Qu Clan's land. Although I don't dare to talk about Tier 5 god herbs, there will definitely be Tier 4 god herbs for Teacher Mo to use.”
Mo Wuji said calmly, ”Many thanks but I'm used to freedom and independence. This time, I only came to High Firmament City because of Chi Kun's invitation and to repay a favour to Chi Kun.”
Even if Qu Chendan and Di Jie were any more obtuse, they would still be able to tell Mo Wuji's meaning. That was, Mo Wuji didn't teach them because he admired their talents, but because of a favour to Chi Kun.
Seeing this Mo Wuji seemed to have some words for the Chi siblings, the two could only bid their farewells.
The moment Qu Chendan and Di Jie left, Shuai Guo eagerly asked, ”My Lord, we're leaving High Firmament City? When?”
During this time, Shuai Guo had been living freely. Chi Chuan was a simple and honest person, so when Mo Wuji was in seclusion, Shuai Guo basically handed over the shop to Chi Chuan while it roamed around High Firmament City. Thus, when it heard that Mo Wuji wanted to leave, it felt rather reluctant.
”Now.” Mo Wuji did not hesitate to say.
…
At this moment, High Firmament God Sect's Sect Head Hall was filled with people.
Sect Head Xing Wen had a solemn expression on his face and his voice was also overcast, ”Everyone should know what happened not long ago. Thus, our High Firmament God Sect will now stop all attempts at the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand, as well as investigations of the person who sold it. Call our men back and focus our attention back to Nirvana Learning Academy's assessment.”
The Sect Head Hall was silent; everyone knew the meaning of the sect head's words. Half a year ago, a Gold Nirvana Dao Sand actually appeared in Dew Drop God City. This raised the level of the entire auction by multiple folds.
However, this was not the end of the issue. After this Gold Nirvana Dao Sand was traded in, it attracted the desire of many God Kings. God Kings from various places swarmed towards Dew Drop God City; they wanted to purchase the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand, and at the same time, investigate on who was the person who sold it.
High Firmament God Sect was one of them; at least three God Kings from High Firmament God Sect went over to Dew Drop God City.
However, Sect Head Xing Wen stopped these attempts today. This was because on the day before, Dew Drop Merchant Union was showered in blood. All the items in Dew Drop Merchant Union were stolen. Until now, no one knew who did this. Because High Firmament God Sect was afraid, they decided to hold this meeting.
