In this situation, Mo Wuji wouldn’t be half-soft, as the Tian Ji Stick directly blasted onto the neck of this guy with the giant scissors.
With a click, this cultivator’s neck and half of his shoulders were blown into pieces by Mo Wuji’s stick, and without even humming, he flopped to the ground.
Mo Wuji scooped up the lingzhi plant as fast as he could and stowed it in his storage bag. Fish Plant followed suit and yanked the guy’s storage bag down to collect it.
From Mo Wuji digging up the spirit ganoderma, to being assassinated by this cultivator with the giant scissors, to Mo Wuji and Fish Plant teaming up to blast the other party to death, it was only a few breaths of time before and after. It was as if the two had done this many times before, their co-ordination was pure.
“Dare to kill my senior brother, kneel down for me ……” A berserk aura crushed over, followed by a fist blast towards Mo Wuji and Fish Plant.
The two of them, Mo Wuji and Fish Plant, couldn’t block this berserk aura even when they joined forces, and their legs clicked as they were pressed. Mo Wuji clenched his teeth and was ready to deliver a lightning strike out of thin air to his opponent when he felt an equally thick force blast out from his side.
Mo Wuji was shocked in his heart, if this surge of thick Yuan Power had blasted at him from behind just now, he would have died soon if not sooner.
“Boom!” The two strands of Yuan Power blasted together, blowing out a huge deep pit in the ground. Mo Wuji also felt a lightening of the pressure all over his body, and he subconsciously gave up on stimulating the Thunderbolt from Out of Space.
Following that, Mo Wuji heard a flat voice say, “So what if I killed your senior brother which?”
“Hou Yuxian, do you want to intervene?” A big robust man landed not far in front of Mo Wuji, he was the one who had just made a sudden move against Mo Wuji and Fish Plant.
“Brother Hou, thank you for your assistance. Senior Sister Qu, I didn’t expect to see you again.” Mo Wuji turned around and saw Hou Yuxian and Qu Wan’er.
If it wasn’t for Hou Yuxian and Qu Wan’er, although he was able to borrow the Thunderbolt of the Air to defuse the strike just now, it would have been a little difficult to escape from the killer of this big robust man. This burly man’s cultivation was at least in the middle stage of Deafening Mortality, while he was only at the ninth level of Pulse Expansion, and Fish Plant was at most a Spirit Building Perfection.
Hou Yuxian smiled faintly at Mo Wuji, “We are teammates who are going to Ice Peak together.”
Only after saying these words, did Hou Yuxian look at the robust big man once again, “I’m in charge of this matter, if there’s anything that comes at me, Hou Yuxian.”
The big man glanced at Mo Wuji and Fish Plant with hatred, and without another word, he turned around and left. Hou Yuxian’s strength was higher than him, and he was from a big clan, so he couldn’t do anything about Hou Yuxian.
“Brother Mo, I knew that you’re fine, and it’s true.” Hou Yuxian said with extreme poise as he cupped his fists at Mo Wuji.
Qu Wan’er also said on the side, “Senior Brother Hou thought that something happened to you and has been holding a grudge, saying that you were the one he called over. Luckily, you are safe and sound.”
To Hou Yuxian, Mo Wuji felt that he couldn’t see clearly. However, this time, Hou Yuxian had stepped in to save his life, he was still very grateful.
The surrounding spirit herbs had been snatched up at the moment, and the three of them didn’t move away as they stood at the same spot and started to catch up. Mo Wuji learnt from Hou Yuxian that the two side canyons were indeed spirit veins, and a variety of spirit grasses naturally grew in the middle of these two spirit veins. Because of the long years, the poor spirit grasses had long been eliminated, and the ones that managed to survive were all top grade spirit grasses.
Mo Wuji also briefly mentioned that the reason why he was able to survive was because he was trapped in an ice cellar. It was only later that he escaped with his life after all the hardships.
Only the harvest from the ice cellar, Mo Wuji didn’t say and Hou Yuxian didn’t ask. Of course, Mo Wuji also didn’t ask Hou Yuxian and Qu Wan’er what they had gained underneath that ice peak.
When Fish Plant saw that Mo Wuji was familiar with Hou Yuxian and Qu Wan’er, he also fell silent. Before, he followed Mo Wuji’s side, it was because he was not afraid that Mo Wuji would swallow his medicinal herbs. Now that Mo Wuji knew someone much stronger than him, at this moment, even if Mo Wuji wanted to swallow his medicinal herbs, there was nothing he could do. It was good that he had left behind a few medicinal herbs.
Just as Yu Zhi was apprehensive, Mo Wuji called Yu Zhi over and said to Hou Yuxian and Qu Wan’er, “This is Yu Zhi, his wife is sick and wants to ask for my help in refining pills, so he came over to look for spiritual herbs.”
Hearing Mo Wuji openly introduce himself, Yu Zhi was finally relieved and hurriedly came up to greet him. A loose cultivator like him, in front of a genius disciple like Hou Yuxian and Qu Wan’er, would be extremely inferior and without status. The other Mo Wuji at least had a Dan Master status.
“Oh, I don’t know what spirit herbs Brother Fish is still lacking?” Hou Yuxian was consistently polite and courteous, and didn’t even half-ass it because Fish Plant was a loose cultivator.
Mo Wuji helpfully said, “Still missing the Heavenly Spider Fruit and Extreme Orchid, both of these spirit herbs are more common, I believe that deep within this natural canyon, there will still be ……”
When he said this, Mo Wuji was still a little ashamed, his reason for coming here was originally to help Fish Plant pick the Heavenly Spider Fruit and Extreme Orchid, and he had snatched the ten year old Lingzhi in the first place. By the time he had snatched the spirit ganoderma, all the spirit herbs here were gone.
Qu Wan’er laughed, “Then there’s no need to keep going in to look for them, I happen to have these two types of spirit herbs here.”
As she spoke, Qu Wan’er raised her hand and waved out several spirit herbs, which were none other than the Heavenly Spider Fruit and Extreme Orchid.
Seeing that Qu Wan’er had taken out the spirit herbs needed for the Impregnating Mansion Pill without asking anything, Fish Plant hurriedly went up to thank her.
Qu Wan’er waved her hand, “This bit of spirit grass is nothing, I owed Master Mo Dan more than just these spirit grasses back then.”
If it wasn’t for Mo Wuji giving her a bracelet, even if she was able to come in, it would have cost her more than these few spirit herbs. Therefore, she was still grateful to Mo Wuji at the bottom of her heart.
Mo Wuji didn’t care and after collecting the several spirit grasses, he asked suspiciously, “Senior Sister Qu, there must be more spirit grasses in the depths of this canyon? Why don’t you continue searching?”
Hou Yuxian explained, “If this canyon goes further in, it will take at least three days to get to the next spirit grass growing place. Coming and going is six days. If that happens, it will be too late to get out. Not to mention that in a few more days, the poisonous mist of the Five Elements Desolate Domain will cover the entire place and all kinds of demonic beasts will return. At that time, not to mention the Spirit Herb, even saving your little life won’t be easy.”
Mo Wuji indeed saw that apart from some of the cultivators who were still hesitating where they were, many of them had already turned around and disappeared out of the canyon.
“In that case, let’s go back as well.” The spirit herbs were good, to Mo Wuji, Smokey’s safety was the most important thing.
“That’s exactly what I want to do.” Hou Yuxian said immediately.
Qu Wan’er herself had made a fortune, so she naturally agreed to go back. Fish Plant’s purpose of coming here was for the Embracing Mansion Pill, and now his reliance was all on Mo Wuji. Whatever Mo Wuji said, that would be the case.
After Mo Wuji’s group of four turned to leave, the last few people who hesitated also finally turned to return. Precious spirit herbs were eye-catching, but if one’s little life was gone, everything was fake.
……
“Brother Mo is really a pity this time, three months in the Five Elements Desolate Domain is simply not enough time, Brother Mo was actually trapped under the ice peak for almost two months.” The four of them walked all the way back, Hou Yuxian said with slight regret.
Qu Wan’er smiled, “It’s hard to say, just like me, if it wasn’t for senior brother Hou’s rescue, I might have fallen here long ago. It’s just like before, when Dan Master Mo met danger, it was also Senior Brother Hou who came to his rescue.”
Mo Wuji knew what Qu Wan’er meant, which was that his strength was very low, and if he wasn’t trapped under the ice peak for two months, he might have been killed off a long time ago.
As a matter of fact, Qu Wan’er wasn’t making things up, with Mo Wuji’s cultivation level, he could indeed be killed at any time during that intense scramble just now.
Perhaps out of all the people who had entered the Five Elements Desolate Domain, he had spent the least amount of time searching for treasures. This was because he had spent the vast majority of his time on cultivation.
“Perhaps even if I don’t make a move, Brother Mo is equally unafraid of that guy’s sneak attack. In two months’ time, Brother Mo might even be able to find a True God’s Flower.” Hou Yuxian said quite naturally.
Mo Wuji even suspected that Hou Yuxian knew that he had a backhand, which was why he said this.
“Brother Hou, have you seen the Infinite Soul Forging Crystal?” Mo Wuji was unwilling to talk too much in terms of his strength, plus he was curious to know if what he had obtained was the Infinite Soul Forging Crystal, so he voiced out his enquiry.
Hou Yuxian laughed, “The Infinite Soul Forging Crystal is in some ways something even more precious than the True God’s Flower, so where could I have seen such a thing. I do know that Infinite Forging Soul Crystals are all quadrangular crystals in shape, slightly yellow in crystal ……”
When Mo Wuji heard this, his heart had long since sunk, he finally realised what his mistake was. The thing he got was not Infinite Forging Soul Crystal at all, not only was it not but the difference in appearance with Infinite Forging Soul Crystal was still very far.
The Infinite Forging Soul Crystals that Hou Yuxian had said were indeed there down there, because not far from where he had obtained the two Ice Flowers, there was a row of the quadrangular crystals that Hou Yuxian had said were all slightly yellow in colour in the crystals. However, that row was still being cast aside like rubbish, Mo Wuji’s preconceived notions naturally led him to believe that the things that were being pampered on the ice altar were the most precious, how could he have known that the row of things that were being cast aside were the Infinite Soul Forging Crystals?
No wonder that pair of men and women said that they saw the Infinite Soul Forging Crystals, what they saw was something that they thought was a pile of rubbish.
“There’s still one more day to go before we leave the Five Elements Desolate Domain, let’s speed up a little bit.” Seeing the dialogue between Mo Wuji and Hou Yuxian go cold, Qu Wan’er interjected.
Mo Wuji sighed, it was too late. If it was too late, he would definitely go back for another trip, even if there was a possibility of freezing to death, he would still bring back the Infinite Forging Soul Crystal.
Damn it, he went to Ice Peak with Hou Yuxian and only knew to ask Hou Yuxian if Ice Peak had the Infinite Forging Soul Crystal, but he didn’t know to ask Hou Yuxian what the Infinite Forging Soul Crystal looked like. Even though Mo Wuji was sure that he wouldn’t make this mistake again, he couldn’t afford to make this mistake once.
“I won’t give it to you, what can you do to me?” An extremely loud voice woke up Mo Wuji’s regret, followed by the bursting sound of Yuan Power crashing together.
Zhen Shao Ru? Mo Wuji saw that Zhen Shao Ru was fighting with a skinny bearded man, and without hesitation, he took a step over and landed on the side to watch the battle. If Zhen Shao Ru was unable to defeat the other party, even if his cultivation was not enough, he would still have to step in to help.
