“Wuji, Shaoru ……” Mo Wuji had just stepped out of the gate of the Heavenly Enquiring Academy Palace when he heard the delighted voice of Zhen Shaoke calling him.
Zhen Shaoke with Fei Bingzhu, Tao Ao couple and Smokey were standing at the entrance of the Heavenly Enquiring Academy Palace, crowded together with the many cultivators.
“It looks like your friend has arrived, we’ll see you later.” Hou Yuxian was extremely courteous as he bid farewell to Mo Wuji and the others.
Although Mo Wuji wanted to invite Hou Yuxian to catch up sometime, he was not in that mood once he thought of Smokey’s situation. Smokey had already unconsciously walked to his side and naturally took Mo Wuji’s hand.
“Senior Brother Mo, I knew you would be fine.” Fei Bingzhu clenched his fist and came up to greet Mo Wuji.
Tao Ao and Xiong Xiuzhu also came up to greet Mo Wuji, they were just as worried about Mo Wuji entering the Five Elements Desolate Domain. Once something happened to Mo Wuji, then they too would have no future.
“Shao Ke, let me introduce to you, this is Fish Plant ……” Although Mo Wuji was in a bad mood as he didn’t get the Infinite Forging Soul Crystal, he still took the initiative to introduce Fish Plant.
After Zhen Shaoke and Fish Plant briefly greeted each other, he sensed Mo Wuji’s bad mood, he surmised that Mo Wuji should not have found the Infinite Forging Soul Crystal, so he took the initiative to say, “Let’s go, let’s go back and talk about it.”
……
After not seeing Mo Wuji for three months, Smokey almost followed Mo Wuji around without moving an inch. Luckily, Zhen Shaoke was very insightful and took the initiative to entertain Fish Plant, allowing Mo Wuji to accompany Smokey.
Mo Wuji stayed with Smokey for half a day and ate alone with Smokey before Smokey left with Xiong Xiuzhu.
During this period, Fish Shik had been waiting for Mo Wuji in the room arranged by Zhen Shaoke, and it was only at this point that he realised that although Mo Wuji was also a loose cultivator, Mo Wuji, the loose cultivator, obviously had a much wider range of friendships than him. Whether it was Hou Yuxian or Zhen Shaoke, neither of them were something that he, Yu Zhi, could touch.
At this moment, Yu Zhi could only hope that Mo Wuji would honour his promise and help him refine the Embracing House Pill.
“Brother Fish, you know that I asked Granny Linglong for one thing. Now, even though I didn’t get the Infinite Soul Forging Crystal, I must go and meet Granny Linglong. If this matter is not settled, there is really no way for me to feel at ease to come and help you refine pills. But don’t worry, after I’ve met Granny Linglong, no matter if it’s a success or a failure, I’ll keep my promise and help you refine the Inner Mansion Pill.” After Mo Wuji settled Smokey, he met Fish Plant again to tell the truth.
Without putting Smokey’s affairs in order, he indeed couldn’t feel at ease to refine the pills. This time when he went to the Five Elements Desolate Domain, he had neither obtained the Infinite Soul Forging Crystal nor the True God’s Flower. This had already reduced his hopes of begging Granny Linglong for help to the lowest point.
“Master Dan Mo go ahead and get busy, I’ve been waiting for so many years, would I care about these few days.” Fish Plant said respectfully.
After settling down Fish Plant, Mo Wuji returned to his room. He took out an ice flower and put it into the storage bag that Fish Plant gave him, and after hiding his own storage bag in his room, he then found Fei Bingzhu. Tell Fei Bingzhu that no one is allowed to enter his room until he returns.
After explaining all these, Mo Wuji brought Smokey with him to the Heavenly Enquiring School Palace with some apprehension.
……
In one of the largest rooms in the temporary Dan Tower building of the Heavenly Enquiring Academy Palace, a brown-clothed woman was sitting in front of a huge Dan furnace frowning in contemplation, with flames still burning underneath it. At the entrance of her room, there were also two teenage pill boys who looked almost identical.
“Hasn’t it been a day since the Five Elements Desolate Domain closed?” The woman in brown suddenly looked up and asked.
The two young girls at the door bowed almost simultaneously and said, “Yes granny.”
“Then has anyone come here to look for me?” The woman in brown inquired again.
“Not until now.” The two young girls once again answered in unison.
The brown-clothed woman looked slightly annoyed as she raised her hand and dropped a medicinal herb to dip into the dan furnace before falling back into contemplation. That one herb soon gave off a burnt odour, but the woman in brown seemed to be half aware of it.
After a while, this brown-clothed woman suddenly raised her head again and said, “If someone comes to find me, tell him to come in at the first opportunity.”
“Yes, granny.” The two young girls said in the same voice again.
The brown-clothed woman continued to fall into deep thought after dropping another herb to dip into the dan furnace.
……
Mo Wuji didn’t know what Granny Linglong’s mind was thinking, he brought Smokey with him and didn’t dare to go directly to look for Granny Linglong, instead, he went to look for Mu Ying.
To Mo Wuji’s disappointment, Mu Ying was not in the Heavenly Enquiring Academy.
Just as Mo Wuji was about to go hard to meet Granny Linglong, he finally met an acquaintance, Zuo Shaoyi. Beside Zuo Shaoyi, there was also a woman who looked somewhat like her, and was even a little bit prettier than Zuo Shaoyi. Mo Wuji guessed that this should be Zuo Shaoyi’s elder sister.
Zuo Shao Yi had also gone to visit him at the place where he lived with Mu Ying, it was just that he was in a sorry state at first and scared this woman away.
Because Mo Wuji’s current state was completely incomparable to how he looked back then as if he had crawled out of hell, Zuo Shaoyi did not recognise Mo Wuji for a while.
“Mo Wuji has met Senior Sister Zuo ……,” Mo Wuji hurriedly went forward and cupped his fists in greeting.
“You are?” Zuo Shaoyi stared at Mo Wuji for a while before she suddenly realised, “I remember you, you’re that Third Grade Human Pill Master Mo Wuji who lives in Nine Moons Dan Pavilion.”
Mo Wuji smiled and said, “Exactly me.”
Zuo Shaoyi frowned, “Why are you here?”
Mo Wuji hurriedly said, “Last time, I almost went off the deep end because of my cultivation, and I slowed down Senior Sister Mu and Senior Sister Zuo, so this time, I’ve come here specifically to make amends.”
Zuo Shaoyi waved her hand, “There’s no need to make amends, Senior Sister Mu isn’t here and I’m going out.”
After saying that, Zuo Shaoyi pulled the woman beside her and was about to leave.
Mo Wuji hurriedly called out to Zuo Shao Yi, “Senior Sister Zuo, I would like to ask you to do me a favour ……”
Zuo Shaoyi’s face turned cold, “Mo Wuji, I’m not related to you, there’s no favour to be done, besides I have something to leave now.”
After saying these words, Zuo Shaoyi no longer bothered to pay attention to Mo Wuji, pulling the woman beside her to quickly walk away.
Mo Wuji should not say that he would ask Zuo Shaoyi to help bring him to Granny Linglong, even asking her to show him the way was unavailable.
……
“Shao Yi, is he the young and promising dan master that Senior Sister Mu was talking about? The person you want to introduce to me?” Zuo Shao Ying asked only after the two of them had walked out for a long distance.
Zuo Shao Yi said somewhat breathlessly, “It is indeed him, a lower grade spirit root, I didn’t expect him to be much of a stunner, but he actually cultivated to the point of going off the rails in his own residence. You didn’t see the situation at that time, he was simply almost as good as a dead man. I don’t know how he managed to meet a dead rat with a blind cat and advance to a Third Grade Human Pill Master. Sister, it’s my fault this time, I almost caused you harm. Look I didn t even say a word to him before, and as soon as we met today, he asked for my help, this kind of person ……”
Zuo Shao Ying was silent for a while before saying, “Shao Yi, actually I think he is not bad. My own qualifications are also very poor ……”
Her tone was a little despondent, compared to Zuo Shao Yi, she felt that she was closer to a talent with poor qualifications like Mo Wuji. She could understand the lowly tone and that helpless greeting Mo Wuji had just now when he met his sister. Even she didn’t have much say in front of her strong and talented sister.
In fact, she really couldn’t understand Mo Wuji’s low voice and helpless greeting, if it was for his own sake, not to mention an inner disciple Zuo Shaoyi, even if the dean of the Inquiring Heavens Academy came here, he, Mo Wuji, wouldn’t have lowered his voice to greet her.
“Sister, this time, I guarantee that I can get you to join the outer sect of the Heavenly Enquiring Academy Palace because I got something good. As long as you join the Heaven Inquiring Academy Palace, what handsome person can’t you see? Let’s go.” Zuo Shaoyi said on the side.
……
“This senior brother, may I ask where Granny Linglong’s residence is?” After Zuo Shaoyi left, Mo Wuji waited for a while before he grabbed the opportunity to ask a male cultivator.
The male cultivator didn’t care and casually pointed a direction to Mo Wuji, turned around and hurriedly walked out.
Mo Wuji thanked him and hurriedly brought Smokey over. He was worried that Granny Linglong was going to leave this place because Granny Linglong came here to look for spiritual medicines. A day had passed since the closure of the Five Elements Wilderness, if someone had obtained the Infinite Forging Soul Crystals, they might have already come looking for them. Once Granny Linglong left this place, it would be almost impossible for him to see Granny Linglong again.
Mo Wuji’s mood became extraordinarily tense when the words “Heavenly Enquiring Dantian Pagoda” appeared in front of Mo Wuji’s eyes. This time, he had found it, this was definitely where Granny Linglong lived.
Underneath this sign of the Heaven Asking Dan Pagoda, there stood a girl in red, Mo Wuji pulled Smokey and hurriedly walked over.
“May I ask Granny Linglong ……”
Before Mo Wuji could finish a sentence, he was interrupted by this red-clothed maiden, “Are you here to look for Granny?”
Mo Wuji hurriedly said, “Yes, I’m here to look for Granny Linglong because I ……”
“Alright, just follow me.” This red clothed girl did not listen to Mo Wuji’s explanation at all and interrupted Mo Wuji once again.
This easy? Mo Wuji was a little stunned. In his opinion, it was only difficult to meet Granny Linglong. This was because neither Yin Shanyin nor Zhen Shaoke, nor Hou Yuxian had any hope for him to seek Granny Linglong’s help.
Now that he hadn’t said anything and hadn’t taken anything out, someone was leading the way? This made Mo Wuji feel a little unreal. Perhaps Granny Linglong’s temperament had changed and Yin Shanyin and the others didn’t know it.
Mo Wuji had really wronged Yin Shanyin and the others, the reason why he was able to meet Granny Linglong so easily today was because the people who had entered the Five Elements Desolate Domain had just come out today.
“Sister Qi, Sister Xiang, these two people are looking for Granny ……” The red-robed woman brought Mo Wuji and Smokey to the door of a room and said respectfully to the two young girls at the door of the room.
This was a pair of twins, Mo Wuji said in his heart as he took a look at the two teenage girls who looked almost identical.
“But someone is here to see me? Let them come in.” Without waiting for these two young girls to speak, a slightly hoarse female voice had already come from inside the room.
