The Thunder Refining Room is on the ninth floor of the Border City Immortal Refining Tower, and the first cultivation room Mo Wuji saw when he arrived on the ninth floor was the Thunder Refining Room.
Outside the room, there was indeed a groove for placing a jade card, Mo Wuji casually inserted the jade card in his hand into the groove, and the thick stone door of the room automatically opened.
After Mo Wuji entered the stone door, the stone door once again automatically closed.
Mo Wuji roughly observed that this stone room was at least two hundred or so square feet, and the height was about ten metres. The stone chamber was empty, only at the entrance of the stone chamber were three handles, the first one saying start quenching, the second one saying stop quenching, and the last one saying open the door.
Other than that, there were no handles for lightning source levelling or anything like that.
Although he hadn’t been quenched by the Thunder Refining Chamber, it wasn’t the first time Mo Wuji had quenched his meridians through lightning strikes. After taking a bottle of vein opening medicinal liquid, Mo Wuji directly pulled down the first handle to start quenching.
A roar resounded around the room, and after about a dozen of breaths, an arc of thunder of varying thicknesses fell down. Although this Thunder Refining Room was large, Mo Wuji noticed that these lightning arcs only fell in a one zhang square in the middle of the room, no lightning arcs fell in the rest of the room.
The strength of the lightning arcs should not be any weaker than the ones he first encountered in the Thunder Zephyr, striking the one zhang square in the middle of the stone room with a snapping sound.
Mo Wuji didn’t hesitate and directly took a step into the middle of the Thunder Refining Room where the lightning arcs were attacking. To hesitate here would be a waste, every minute of hesitation was a spirit stone consumption ah.
“Snapping ……” The thunder arcs bombarded Mo Wuji’s body, and a hot breath was channelled by Mo Wuji into the veins of his body.
It wasn’t until this moment that Mo Wuji realised the difference between the thunder arcs in this kind of Thunder Refinement Chamber and the Lei Ze and Six Legged Thunder Crocodile. The intensity of the lightning arcs falling from each place here was fixed, and to him, it was more suitable for quenching the veins.
It was true that money was good, even in the cultivation world, it was the same thing.
After the Immortal Mortal Technique had run for just one large circumference, Mo Wuji’s 28th vein was opened.
It was a pity that there were no spirit stones, if there were spirit stones, Mo Wuji would definitely take this opportunity to cultivate. Cultivating while tempering the meridians, I wonder what kind of experience it would be.
The thunder arcs continued to fall as Mo Wuji continued to take the Vein Opening Medicinal Liquid. The only benefit of quenching the meridians within the Thunder Refinement Chamber was that one did not have to worry about their little life, as long as they could not resist any longer, they could avoid the centre of the lightning strikes and rest for a while at the side.
This kind of treatment was something that Mo Wuji did not have with the Thunder Crocodile and as well as quenching in the Thunder Zephyr, using the Thunder Crocodile to quench the meridians, one would have to have someone to help out together, and even if that was the case, one would be directly wiped out by the Thunder Crocodile if one was not careful. In the Thunder Zephyr that would be even more dangerous, no one knows when a strong thunder that is far superior to normal thunder arcs will suddenly fall. This kind of strong thunder, perhaps with just one, could easily wipe out a weak person like Mo Wuji who had just cultivated.
In the Thunder Cultivation Room, Mo Wuji was almost being bombarded by lightning strikes at the moment, and this was only because he had seen the opportunity to take off his shattered outerwear and throw it outside of the range of the lightning strikes when the lightning arc had just fallen. Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have any clothes to wear when he went out, whoever made him not think that he should have brought a set of clothes over.
The smell of his skin being scorched by the lightning strikes filled the Thunder Refining Room, and with almost every lightning strike that fell, Mo Wuji couldn’t help but spasm once.
Even so, Mo Wuji still didn’t choose to leave the range of the lightning strikes to rest for a moment. One of the reasons was naturally because he didn’t want to waste the lightning strikes that were falling for nothing while he was resting, these were all exchanged for spirit stones. A more important reason was because Mo Wuji was well aware that although the Thunder Refinement Room was safe and stable, it lacked a life and death compulsion.
Yin Shanyin wasn’t wrong in at least one of her words, and that was that those who didn’t experience between life and death would hardly become strong. Mo Wuji’s perseverance under this lightning strike was also to touch his limits. As long as he didn’t reach the edge of life and death, he wouldn’t easily leave to rest.
Perseverance was sometimes more important than talent, and the fact that he, Mo Wuji, was able to be where he was today might have something to do with his talent. But in Mo Wuji’s heart, his perseverance was the most crucial.
Thirty-three Veins, Thirty-four Veins ……
Mo Wuji’s thirteenth bottle of Vein Opening Pill Liquid was consumed, and successively guided the four lightning arcs that bombarded him into the thirty-sixth vein.
“Boom!” After these four thunder arcs completely rushed through his thirty-sixth vein, Mo Wuji felt a wave of relief throughout his body. Even though at this moment, he was already scorched black and his body was filled with cracks and wounds from the thunder arcs, after the thirty-sixth chakra was blasted open, he just had a feeling of sublimation.
This feeling was like the pleasant and soothing feeling he had when he advanced from the third layer of the Vein Expansion to the fourth layer of the Vein Expansion, no, it was even more pleasant and satisfying than advancing to the fourth layer of the Vein Expansion.
Mo Wuji, who had originally planned to appear for a short nap after he had pierced through the thirty-sixth chakra, changed his attention after the thirty-sixth to chakra was truly pierced through. At this moment, he felt incomparably good, even stronger than before he entered the Thunder Refining Chamber, when he decided to use up all of his vein opening medicinal liquid before going out.
As the fourteenth bottle of Vein Opening Pill Liquid was swallowed, Mo Wuji’s heart suddenly felt more than a tinge of uneasiness because after he drank this bottle of Vein Opening Pill Liquid, there was no burning sensation like that of the fire line he had before. Other than a slight scorching of the throat, there was no other reaction.
Without any other reactions, he wouldn’t be able to go and invoke the lightning arc to quench his meridians and finally open his veins.
Several lightning arcs fell, and Mo Wuji could only allow the arcs to bombard his body, and apart from the trauma to his flesh, he did not gain anything.
A bad feeling surged up in his heart as Mo Wuji drank five bottles of Vein Opening Pill Liquid one after another. There was no difference from the previous bottle he drank, other than his throat being slightly hot, his meridians no longer reacted.
The lightning arcs continued to fall as Mo Wuji forcefully operated the Immortal Mortal Technique, guiding the lightning arcs to forcefully bombard where one of the possible veins was located.
“Pfft!” The thunder source had just been guided down, Mo Wuji opened his mouth and a blood arrow sprayed out followed by his entire body being bombarded and paralysed to the ground constantly convulsing.
The thunder arc was about to fall again, Mo Wuji struggled and crawled out of the middle of the room where the thunder arc was bombarding him.
The pain like needles piercing into the bone marrow struck again, and Mo Wuji spat out several mouthfuls of blood again. It was a good thing that at this point, he had already crawled out of the centre of the thunder arc bombardment, otherwise he would not have been able to crawl out in his entire life.
The pain and damage caused by forcibly guiding the lightning arc to bombard his body’s meridians caused Mo Wuji to be unable to stand up at all. He couldn’t move at all as he lay on the ground, and even though the thunder arcs were still falling and his spirit stones were still being consumed, he didn’t have the slightest ability to pull down the handle that stopped the quenching.
After lying on the ground for more than an hour, only then did Mo Wuji regain a little bit of strength, he crawled to the side and took out the healing pills from his parcel, swallowing several pills one after another.
After swallowing the healing pills and resting for another half an hour or so, Mo Wuji reluctantly stood up. He staggered over to the door and pulled down the handle that stopped the quenching before sitting down on the ground.
Wasting spirit stones was secondary, what he was thinking about now was why his Vein Opening Potion had lost its effect. Could it be that he could only open up thirty-six veins by nature?
He had known for a long time that a true Heaven could only open up ninety-nine spirit chakras, and even though Mo Wuji didn’t know what the difference between spirit chakras and veins was, he knew that there wasn’t much of a difference between opening up thirty-six chakras and opening up thirty-six spirit chakras presumably. And in the cultivation world, as long as one had a spiritual root to be able to cultivate, opening up thirty-six spirit complexes seemed to be considered an ordinary and no longer ordinary qualification.
Almost as long as one was a cultivator, one would be able to open up at least thirty-six spirit complexes or more.
Mo Wuji’s heart surged with an intense unwillingness, if he really only had the potential of thirty-six chakras, then he probably wouldn’t even be able to cultivate at the late stage of Pulse Expansion, not to mention pursuing a higher realm.
There was no telling how long it had been before the sound of an outgoing alarm rang out in the Thunder Refining Room. This meant that Mo Wuji hadn’t started cultivating in the Thunder Refining Room for a long time, and if he didn’t cultivate again, then he would have to leave the Thunder Refining Room.
Mo Wuji didn’t snap out of that extreme loss until this time, he shivered, and even felt more than a little fear in his heart. When he was unable to cultivate, he didn’t even have disappointment and sadness, but instead, he endeavoured to seek ways to cultivate.
Now that he was able to cultivate, and was even already a cultivator of the fourth level of Pulse Expansion, he would be struck by the fact that he had only opened up thirty-six to veins. This was not his character, he had once said, so what if it was a mortal root? He wouldn’t give up just the same, not to mention that now he was still a Mortal Root capable of cultivation.
It was necessary to go looking for new means of opening up chakras, and if that was not possible, he would follow the original plan and go choosing to cultivate martial arts, just like the original Zhenyi.
Thinking of this, Mo Wuji was instantly refreshed and his confidence returned to him once again.
How about mortal roots? So what if there are 36 chakras? I just won’t give up, I will never give up.
Even if in the end, he really did grow old in mediocrity, that would be nothing, to be able to survive here, he had earned it in the first place. Since this was the case, what else did he have to worry about, what else did he have to be concerned about?
Mo Wuji regained his composure, got up and put his broken outerwear back on, picked up his parcel, and pulled open the stone door of the Thunder Refining Room.
There were actually seven or eight people standing outside the Thunder Refining Room, with a man and a woman being embraced by the crowd in the centre. That man Mo Wuji recognised, it was the handsome young man who had previously given three spirit stones to that teenager. That pretty woman had also been following him around.
The people outside the Thunder Refining Room were stunned by Mo Wuji’s appearance, Mo Wuji was covered in scorched black, his hair looked like it was on fire, and there was even some smoke coming out of his body. The blood at the corners of his mouth and chest were together with the black grey from being struck by lightning, just like a dead man crawling out from inside a heap.
The only thing incongruous with his whole body was his eyes, which were calm and waveless, as if the whole world had blown up and he was just as calm.
