“There are five 100,000 year old Earth Pine Veins here, I’ll buy them later and give you three. Then I’ll give you three more Longyan Grasses that are over a thousand years old in exchange for this section of your Treasure Blood Lotus Root, what do you think?”
Although Mo Wuji knew that the value of the Treasure Blood Lotus Root was not low, but even if it wasn’t low, it was only a third grade spirit medicine. Whether it was the 100,000 year old Earth Pine Vein or the 1,000 year old Dragon Extension Grass, both of them existed as 4th grade spirit medicines, and to use it to exchange for this section of his Treasure Blood Lotus Root that had been extracted from the lotus root silk, he had taken advantage of a great deal of advantage, and there was definitely a favourable factor in this.
“Thank you Senior Sister Mu, I’m willing to exchange it.” Said Mo Wuji without any hesitation.
“Good, refreshing.” Mu Ying nodded with satisfaction, she quickly exchanged the Earth Pine Veins back with two Fourth Grade Spirit Grasses before taking out three more Earth Pine Veins and three more Dragon Extension Grasses to exchange with Mo Wuji.
Only after she finished exchanging with Mo Wuji did Mu Ying ask, “Master Mo Dan, I admire you for contributing Mo’s medicinal liquid without compensation. It’s just that you were originally an odd-job disciple, so how were you able to become a Second Grade Human Pill Master?”
Mo Wuji originally wanted to befriend Mu Ying, and at this moment when Mu Ying asked, he naturally didn’t hide it, “Senior Sister Mu, for me to become a Second Grade Human Pill Master, it was mainly due to Senior Sister Yin’s help. Senior Sister Yin taught me a lot of things, which gave me the opportunity to become a Dan Master.”
“So it was Senior Sister Yin who instructed me, Senior Sister Yin you actually didn’t tell me that you knew Dan Master Mo.” Mu Ying was obviously familiar with Yin Shanyin and immediately turned her head to speak to Yin Shanyin.
“That’s because Senior Sister Mo’s own understanding of the Dan Dao was already good, I only gave a little guidance.” Yin Shanyin smiled faintly, she knew that Mo Wuji becoming a Dan Master had nothing to do with her. However, she didn’t point it out either is that Mo Wuji didn’t seem to want others to know that he was too much of a genius at alchemy.
After saying that, Yin Shanyin then enquired Mo Wuji, “Senior Brother Mo, are you also here to participate in the Five Elements Desolate Domain Dan Competition?”
Mo Wuji smiled gratefully, “Yes, Senior Sister Yin, I’ve just broken through to Third Grade Human Dan Master, so I wanted to come and try it out.”
“Ah, you’re already a Third Grade Human Dan Master?” Yin Shanyin exclaimed in shock, she had calculated that Mo Wuji would only be able to stop at a Second Grade Human Pill Master in this life. But in this twinkling of an eye, he was a Third Grade Human Pill Master. Could it be that she had misread her eyes?
She suddenly remembered Lone Ran, the Patriarch of the Traceless Sword Sect, and wondered if Lone Ran would have some regrets when he learnt that Mo Wuji had become a Third Grade Human Pill Master.
Mo Wuji laughed, “It’s also just luck, a sudden inspiration came and then he became a Third Grade Human Dan Master.”
Mu Ying on one side said with a straight face, “Dan Master Mo, I don’t think there is such a thing as luck in alchemy. I believe that Master Mo Dan’s understanding of the Dao of Dan must be terrific, which is how he was able to step into the ranks of a Third Grade Human Dan Master, otherwise there wouldn’t have been a Mo’s Medicinal Liquid. Master Mo Dan, I’ll be waiting for you at the Dan Tower of the Heavenly Enquiring Academy Palace, I believe that with your talent, you can definitely step into the Heavenly Enquiring Academy Palace and enter the Dan Tower.”
Mo Wuji said in his heart, “Even if I were to enter the Heavenly Enquiring Academy Palace, I wouldn’t go to the Dan Tower. Alchemy was only his side business, what he wanted was not to become some Heavenly Dan Master, but to pursue the highest cultivation realm.
“Thanks to Senior Sister Mu’s kind words, in fact, I still have some personal matters that I want to talk to you alone. I wonder if senior sister can spare some time?” Mu Wuji took this opportunity to hurriedly say.
With a sweep of Mu Ying’s hand, everything in front of her disappeared without a trace before she smiled and said to Mo Wuji, “I was just about to leave, since Master Dan Mo is looking for me for something, then please do.”
Mo Wuji secretly envied these people with storage bags, and at the same time, he also praised this woman in his heart for doing things in a straightforward manner. He hurriedly greeted Yin Shanyin and told Zhen Shaoru to go back on his own before he followed Mu Ying to leave this Dan Master Exchange Meeting Hall.
The matter of going to see Granny Linglong was very crucial to him, and he couldn’t let Zhen Shaoru, this thick nerve, go and spoil things.
……
At Mu Ying’s place, Mo Wuji told him about his desire to meet Granny Linglong.
“You want to ask Granny Linglong to help you save someone?” Mu Ying asked with a frown after hearing Mo Wuji’s words.
“Yes, Smokey can be saved by no one other than Granny Linglong.” Mo Wuji looked at Mu Ying expectantly after he cupped his fists and saluted her.
Mu Ying sighed and said, “It’s not that I won’t help you, it’s really because my master and Granny Linglong have some conflicts. If I really take you to meet Granny Linglong, it’s probably counterproductive ……”
Mo Wuji’s heart was half cold when he heard this.
“Moreover, even if I help you meet Granny Linglong, she won’t come to your aid. Unless you find the Infinite Forging Soul Crystal, at that time, even if I don’t help introduce you, you can still meet Granny Linglong.” Mu Ying said helplessly.
Mo Wuji once again clasped his fists and said, “Since that’s the case, then I won’t disturb Senior Sister Mu, I’ll take my leave.”
Mu Ying said to Mo Wuji with some reluctance, “You are on good terms with the Nine Moons Dan Pavilion’s Young Pavilion Master, so when the time comes, you can ask him to give you a quota to enter the Five Elemental Desolate Domain. In the Five Elements Desolate Domain, it wasn’t impossible to find Infinite Forging Soul Crystals if you were lucky. All the places I obtained to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain after participating in the Dan Competition were from the Questioning Heaven School Palace, so I can’t promise you a place either.”
Obviously, Mu Ying was not optimistic that Mo Wuji would be able to gain a place in the Dan Competition.
“Okay, I know.” Mo Wuji smiled bitterly and answered Mu Ying before saying goodbye and leaving.
Asking the Nine Moons Dan Pavilion’s Young Pavilion Master for a quota to enter the Five Elements Wasteland? If Mu Ying knew that Zhen Shaoke and Zhen Shaoru were waiting for his quota to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain, he didn’t know what he would think.
Even though he hadn’t met Granny Linglong, Mo Wuji already had a rough understanding of Granny Linglong through several people’s descriptions. This should be an extremely withdrawn old woman, and was not one to talk about human interaction, and even more so to do things with direct benefits.
It looked like he had to meet Granny Linglong, and it was useless even if he got a ranking in the Dan Ratio. The only way was to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain and obtain the Infinite Soul Forging Crystal that Granny Linglong needed.
Mo Wuji clenched his fists, this time, he had to get a ranking in the Dan Ratio, and he had to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain.
There was still almost half a month to go before the Dan Competition in the Five Elemental Desolate Domain, after Mo Wuji returned to his residence at the Nine Moons Dan Pavilion, he immediately went into closed-door cultivation.
He continuously condensed his divine idea power while using spirit stones and spirit gathering pills to enhance his cultivation. To him, there was no need to use pills for cultivation at all. In order to be able to refine the Fourth Grade Earth Spirit Pill as soon as possible, he had to raise his cultivation and divine idea power.
Knowing that Mo Wuji was cultivating, Zhen Shaoke had never come to disturb him. Even Zhen Shao Ru was restricted by Zhen Shao Ke from disturbing Mo Wuji.
……
Half a month rushed by, Mo Wuji’s divine idea power had once again progressed a lot after half a month of cultivation. Just when Mo Wuji thought that he was soon going to cross over the 7th level of Pulse Expansion and advance to the 8th level of Pulse Expansion, Zhen Shaoque knocked on his room door.
Mo Wuji was a little disappointed as he looked at the crumbs of spirit stones all over the ground, still a little bit short ah. As long as he was given a few more days, maybe he would have advanced to the eighth layer of Pulse Expansion.
Zhen Shaoke knocking on the door at this time was obviously because the Dan Competition of the Five Elements Wilderness Region was about to start, and he had to come out of seclusion.
Sure enough, after Mo Wuji opened the door to his room, Zhen Shaoke said apologetically, “Wuji, the Dan Competition is about to start, I had to disturb your seclusion.”
“It’s fine, I’ll clean up first.” Mo Wuji said as he waved his hand.
……
Half an hour later, the cleaned up Mo Wuji and Zhen Shaoke arrived at the centre of the square.
The square had already been crowded with people, in the centre of the square was a huge round altar, in front of the altar there were nearly a thousand empty seats, in front of each seat there was a dan furnace.
The most eye-catching words on the huge round altar was the Heavenly Enquiring Palace, and only around the Heavenly Enquiring Palace were the major sects. Mo Wuji saw the Heavenly Extremity Hall and sects such as the Bilomon and Leaving Fire Sect on it, but he did not see forces such as the Traceless Sword Sect and the Nine Moons Dan Pavilion.
It looked like only quasi heaven level sects could ascend to the round altar.
Even though there were a lot of people in the square, it wasn’t chaotic, most people were standing quietly or whispering.
A bearded man wearing a sauce-coloured dao robe suddenly walked down from the void and landed in the middle of the square’s round altar.
“This man is so powerful.” Mo Wuji was secretly horrified in his heart, this was the first time he saw someone walking down in the void.
Zhen Shaoke, who was standing beside Mo Wuji, introduced in a low voice, “This is the True God Realm powerhouse of the Heavenly Enquiring Academy Palace, the Second Dean, Senior Feng Zhenqiu.”
Standing on the round altar, Feng Zhenqiu clasped his fists to the surroundings and said, “Fellow Daoists, fellow dan masters. The Five Elements Dan Competition has become the first event in my five empires, not only because it is the topmost dan master competition within my five empires. It is also because this event is related to the number of places that can enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain. It’s not unfounded that my five empires are called the Lost Continent by the outer continents, that’s because although there are many cultivators and many geniuses in my five empires, very few of them are able to cross over into the Heavenly Realm Triple Heavens ……”
Speaking here, Feng Zhenqiu deliberately paused for a moment. The following was already quiet because of Feng Zhenqiu’s arrival, and now there was even more silence as no one spoke.
Only after a pause did Feng Zhenqiu continue, “Our five empires have vast territories and countless geniuses, so why is it so difficult to produce a Heaven realm powerhouse? Is it because our geniuses are all pseudo-geniuses? I can now tell you with certainty, no. It’s because the Lost Continent lacks a rule of heaven and earth, and this missing rule not only makes it impossible for spiritual plants above the seventh grade to grow up, it even prevents us from sensing the mysteries of the Heavenly Realm’s Triple Heavens.”
The square finally let out a look a burst of murmurs, but the murmurs weren’t very loud, it was clear that it wasn’t the first time they had heard this kind of speech.
“Now that the Five Elements Desolate Domain has been opened, a large number of seventh grade and above spirit herbs have appeared within it, and there are even a large number of True God’s Flowers. In order to avoid everyone killing each other and going in there and then destroying all kinds of precious spirit grasses in a big way, that’s why we’ve decided to conduct the Five Elemental Desolate Domain Dan Competition every few years as a way of determining the number of places that can enter the Five Elemental Desolate Domain. This Dan Bi is also the third Five Elements Dan Bi that we have organised. Now I announce that the Dan Ratio will now begin, and I hope that all the Dan Masters will represent their side with good results ……”
After Feng Zhenqiu finished speaking, he didn’t say half a word more and directly retreated.
