“Yes, he is Mo Wuji, and my bracelet was also given to me by him.” Qu Wan Er replied.
Hou Yuxian smiled and said, “Since that’s the case, then this Thunderstorm Grass will be given to Senior Sister Wan’er.”
Seeing that neither Mo Wuji nor Hou Yuxian would want this Thunderstorm Grass, Qu Wan’er had no choice but to put it away.
“Senior Brother Mo, why did you appear here?” Qu Wan’er asked after putting away the Thunder Striking Grass.
Her intention was to ask Mo Wuji why he had to come to this place when he only had a Pulse Expansion Realm cultivation. Since he had come, why did he have to run so far. It was reasonable to say that Mo Wuji’s footsteps, even if he didn’t stop resting, he wouldn’t have arrived here so quickly. She didn’t know that Mo Wuji had run for several days and nights.
Mo Wuji said helplessly, “I don’t know, I kept walking, and when I stopped, this is where I arrived.”
Qu Wan Er saw that Mo Wuji was unwilling to tell the truth, so she had no choice but to not ask any further, it was Hou Yuxian who took the initiative to say, “Brother Mo, there is an ice mountain here, I heard that there are Ice Attribute and Water Attribute True God’s Flowers on it, would you like to go and take a look together?”
Mo Wuji froze for a moment, Dong Lun had to fight to the death to kill Zheng Hefei just because he was afraid that the ice mountain would leak out, and now the whole street knew about it?
Qu Wan’er hurriedly said, “Senior Brother Hou, Master Dan Mo only has a Pulse Expansion Realm cultivation. The ones going to the Ice Mountain this time are all strong, it’s not quite appropriate for Master Dan Mo to go.”
Hou Yuxian, however, laughed, “I think that even though Brother Mo’s cultivation is slightly lower, he has enough stamina to go to the Ice Mountain.”
“Senior Sister Qu, how do you guys know that there are icebergs here?” This was what Mo Wuji was puzzled about.
Qu Wan’er replied, “Not only do we know, there are at least hundreds of people in here who know that there is an iceberg here, and that there is a True God’s Flower on top of the iceberg. Have you ever been to the auction at the Dao Only Pavilion? That map from the auction was leaked and the address was that one iceberg.”
Sure enough, during the auction, Mo Wuji felt that this map was not safe, and now it had really leaked.
The True God’s Flower or whatever, Mo Wuji had absolutely no interest in it. Since so many people knew about that ice mountain, he had already dispelled the idea of going to the ice mountain in his heart. His strength was too low, and going to the ice mountain with these powerful people to grab the True God’s Flower would be a joke.
“Right, Senior Sister Qu, I heard that in the Five Elements Desolate Domain, there are Infinite Soul Forging Crystals, is that true?” Mo Wuji thought of the fact that he didn’t have half a clue about the Infinite Soul Forging Crystals that he was looking for until now, so he simply enquired before Qu Wan’er left.
Hou Yuxian, who was on the side, interjected, “This is natural, the Infinite Soul Forging Crystal is a top tier treasure, valued even more precious than the True God’s Flower. I’ve heard that this kind of thing only grows underneath extreme ice, so it’s very likely that the place we’re going to has the Infinite Soul Forging Crystal.”
Mo Wuji’s spirit was lifted when he heard this, and he immediately said, “Senior Sister Qu, Brother Hou, I would like to rest for a while, and then follow the two of you over to check out the action, I don’t know if it’s feasible?”
Hou Yuxian laughed, “Naturally there is no problem, and I don’t care about this moment. Brother Mo should rest first, we’ve been travelling for two days and we’re also a bit tired.”
It had to be said that Hou Yuxian spoke with excellent manners, it was Mo Wuji who expressed enough respect for a mere Pulse Expansion Realm cultivator. Even waiting for Mo Wuji, he also spoke very politely.
If Hou Yuxian had said it, Qu Wan’er naturally couldn’t refute it, not to mention that she still owed Mo Wuji a favour.
When Hou Yuxian and Qu Wan’er walked away, Mo Wuji directly took out a Spirit Embracing Pill before holding onto a few more Earth Grade Spirit Stones to start his Zhou Tian Xing Gong cultivation.
This was the first time he had used an elixir to cultivate, really because he was injured by that coarse thunderbolt earlier.
The rolling spiritual qi was absorbed by Mo Wuji in a trickle all the way through, and Mo Wuji, who was originally at the peak of the 8th layer of Pulse Expansion, directly broke through the 8th layer of Pulse Expansion and arrived at the 9th layer of Pulse Expansion.
The Yuan Power around Mo Wuji’s body rolled and tumbled, and those bones that were still under the repair of the healing elixir were also quickly restored to their original state, as his body emitted a burst of clicking sounds.
After just over an hour, Mo Wuji just let out a long whistle and stood up.
The Pulse Expansion 9th layer was up, and the injuries on his body were also rapidly recovering due to the breakthrough realm. Advancing from the eighth layer of Pulse Expansion to the ninth layer of Pulse Expansion was as simple as water to water.
He simply cleaned himself up and changed into a clean set of clothes. Even though it still looked lousy, it was much better than just now when he had risen up from the thunderbolt.
Mo Wuji walked out and saw Hou Yuxian and Qu Wan’er talking from afar.
Seeing Mo Wuji come out, both Hou Yuxian and Qu Wan’er walked over.
When Hou Yuxian’s gaze landed on Mo Wuji, he immediately lit up, then he cupped his fists and said, “Congratulations to Brother Mo for advancing further in his strength.”
Mo Wuji also cupped his fists and said, “Compared to Brother Hou, this amount of my cultivation is nothing at all.”
Just now, when Mo Wuji whistled long and loud, Qu Wan’er knew that Mo Wuji’s strength had definitely risen. She was surprised in her heart, Mo Wuji’s spirit root was very poor, it was reasonable to say that the most that could be done after an injury was to recover from the injury. Unexpectedly, in just one hour, not only did Mo Wuji’s injuries go away, his cultivation had also advanced a step further.
“Dan Master Mo, are you really a lower grade spirit root?” Qu Wan’er couldn’t help but ask.
Mo Wuji laughed, “I also wish that I wasn’t an inferior spirit root, but unfortunately I was an inferior spirit root for several tests. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been reduced to being a guest dan master in another clan. Luckily, my perception is not bad, although my qualifications are almost as good, I can still occasionally advance a level.”
Hou Yuxian, however, said with a straight face, “Brother Mo has great perseverance and great courage, his future achievements will not be inferior to mine.”
Qu Wan Er knew that this must be Hou Yuxian’s polite words, Hou Yuxian was the top genius of the Heavenly Demon Sect, an existence that was about to enter the Heavenly Enquiring Palace, it was simply not something that Mo Wuji could be compared to.
In order to prevent Qu Wan Er from continuing to ask on the spiritual root piece, Mo Wuji took the initiative to ask Hou Yuxian, “Brother Hou, I’ve heard that Heavenly Demon Sect’s Senior Sister Yang Yingping is very good, I wonder if that’s the case?”
“Haha, Brother Mo is indeed a man of nature. Senior Sister Yang Yingping is indeed a genius disciple of my Heavenly Demon Sect, not only is her appearance peerless, her cultivation is even better than mine. If brother Mo is interested in senior sister Ying Ping, I can introduce her.” Hou Yuxian said with a laugh, not feeling in the slightest that Mo Wuji was not worthy of Yang Yuping.
Mo Wuji hastily waved his hand, “With this amount of cultivation and qualification, how could I pursue Senior Sister Yang, Brother Hou is joking. I just heard someone else talking about it, so I casually asked.”
Hou Yuxian said unconcernedly, “Brother Mo doesn’t have to be presumptuous, with Brother Mo’s spiritual root qualification, being able to become a third grade Human Pill Master is originally a remarkable thing, it’s not something that just anyone can do, I believe that Brother Mo can enter the Heavenly Enquiring Palace of Learning after all. When we go out from the Five Elements Wilderness Domain this time, both Elder Sister Ying Ping and I will also enter the Heavenly Enquiring Academy, so there will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future.”
“These are all future matters, Senior Sister Qu, Brother Hou, why don’t we go to the Ice Mountain now.” Mo Wuji snorted, he guessed that Hou Yuxian was a little sceptical of his words as he was injured in the Thunderbolt just now.
“Good ……” Qu Wan’er realised that Mo Wuji didn’t have a bracelet on his wrist after she finished speaking, “Dan Master Mo, did you lose your bracelet?”
Mo Wuji said awkwardly, “I guess I lost it in that Thunderbolt, never mind, I’ll follow behind Senior Sister Qu, I won’t be able to not recognise the way back.”
Mo Wuji’s bracelet was naturally not lost in the Thunder Ze Dang, but in that cliff rock cave. At that time, he was scared by the Transitional Demon Beast, not to mention the bracelet, he didn’t even take out a jacket.
Later on, he did see the bracelet on Zheng Hefei’s body, but he wouldn’t dare to take Zheng Hefei’s bracelet, who knew if Zheng Hefei’s bracelet had any markings made on it?
“The bracelet is just a bracelet, it has no effect. As Brother Mo said, could it be that you can’t get out without a bracelet.” Hou Yuxian also said with a smile.
The three of them switched directions and quickly left this piece of Thunderbolt.
Perhaps in order to take care of Mo Wuji’s speed, both Qu Wan’er and Hou Yuxian were not too fast. Not only was Hou Yuxian graceful, he explained various characters’ flavours and clan tales along the way. Even if he was rushing, Mo Wuji didn’t find it boring at all, and even learnt a lot of things from his words.
Half a day later, the trio gradually felt the cold, and Mo Wuji remembered the Ice Bursting Talisman again. The further they advanced, it was as if they were getting closer to the centre of the Exploding Ice Talisman.
Another half a pillar of incense passed, and a continuous ice peak appeared in Mo Wuji’s line of sight. This continuous ice peaks were like a field of hills, one after the other, boundless, one could not see the end at all.
Deeper into these ice peaks and hills, Mo Wuji saw a huge ice peak that was too high to see the top. This one ice seal stood in between all the ice peaks and hills, as if it was a crane.
Some sunlight reflected from the ice peak, making Mo Wuji’s eyes a little less comfortable.
This beautiful view of the ice peak had long made Mo Wuji forget about the freezing cold.
“It’s that highest ice peak, there are already many people going over, let’s hurry up too.” Qu Wan’er pointed at the huge ice peak in the distance and said.
She was right, there were indeed many people constantly passing by. As people travelled between such ice mausoleums, their shadows were reflected by the ice peaks, and it was simply impossible to avoid them.
The three of them also sped up and quickly rushed in between the ice mausoleums.
After his feet stepped into these ice mausoleums, Mo Wuji realised how difficult it was to run swiftly in this. Everywhere here was frozen, and the ice path underfoot was even harder and smoother, making it very easy to fall. If one was not careful, they would even get injured if they fell on the sharp ice on one side.
That huge ice peak looked close, but it was really far to walk, and it took the three of them nearly an hour to arrive at the foot of this ice peak.
At the foot of this huge ice peak, hundreds of people had already gathered, and there was a steady stream of people running over.
Mo Wuji saw several silhouettes already climbing the ice peak, only that this ice peak was extremely smooth, making it difficult to climb up. If they wanted to climb up, they would have to keep digging for a landing spot. The ice on this ice peak seemed to be extraordinarily hard, and even after one of them had dug for half a day, they had only dug out a small half of that landing spot.
“Let’s go up and take a look as well.” Qu Wan’er looked at the several cultivators who had already climbed up to the icy peak and turned back to Hou Yuxian.
As soon as Qu Wan’er’s words fell, a gust of wind hung overhead, and a cultivator who was climbing was directly swept away by the wind and disappeared. And the landing place he dug out just now was also smoothed out by the gale.
