Mo Wuji had only climbed to the eighth step, ranking at the bottom of the list amongst the two hundred or so outer disciples. There was another guy who was at the bottom of the list just like him, this guy was called Chao Buheng, who was also a Pulse Expansion Realm cultivator. Chao Buheng was at the ninth perfect level of the Pulse Expansion Realm, just one step away from crossing over to Spirit Building.
Even though everyone was staying at the outer gate peak, because of the division into three, six, nine classes, Mo Wuji and Chao Buheng and the other nineteen cultivators who had not ascended to the tenth step were still looked down upon by the crowd. Even when it came to checking in to the sect, they were greyly lined up at the back.
Zhen Shaozhu had climbed the thirteenth step, but he was able to go and live in the B-character area. However, Zhen Shao Ru had thick nerves, where would he go to comfort Mo Wuji, he couldn’t wait to fool around in front of Mo Wuji a few times before he could do so. So as soon as the time for checking in to the sect arrived, he had already grabbed the front to do so.
……
The outer gate peak of the Questioning Heaven School Palace was near the outermost periphery of the Questioning Heaven School Palace, and it was the place with the weakest spiritual qi amongst all the peaks. It also had the advantage of being very close to Questioning Heaven City, so if one wanted to leave Questioning Heaven Academy Palace to go out and practice, it would be extremely convenient.
After Mo Wuji checked in for the outer gate disciples to the outer gate peak, he realised that there were far more than just them in the two hundred or so disciples here, there were at least thousands of people living in the outer gate peak.
The vast majority of the disciples resided in the A and B zones of the Outer Sect Peak, even the C zone had very few people residing in it, not to mention the D zone on the side of the Outer Sect Peak where the spiritual qi was thin.
The D-word area was already spacious, so even if Mo Wuji came last, he could still pick his residence at will.
The location Mo Wuji chose was a more secluded courtyard with a pond outside the courtyard. The spiritual qi in this location was even thinner, but the living environment could be said to be first rate in the entire Outer Sect Peak. The reason why he chose a pond was because Fei Bingzhu still had two lotus roots from the Precious Blood Lotus Root, so when the time came, he would throw them in here and try it out.
This place that others disliked, Mo Wuji liked it very much. Although the aura was not in the same class compared to other places, compared to the Lotus Root Sword Peak where he resided back then, the aura here was considered a heaven for cultivation.
From this, it could also be seen how powerful the Heavenly Enquiring Palace was, even if the spiritual qi was thin and no one lived in the location, it was still a Feng Shui treasure for an earth level sect like the Traceless Sword Sect.
All of the people in the Ding Character Area together would not exceed thirty, and perhaps there would be even fewer after a while. Also because of this, all the people living in the Ding Character Area were free to choose their land.
Mo Wuji chose his turf and also simply set up a trigger formation at the location where he lived. With his current ability, he could only set up a simple trigger formation, which had no defence effect or attack effect, and likewise no monitoring effect. The only effect was that it would alert Mo Wuji when someone came.
After setting up his residence, Mo Wuji didn’t rush to refine the Vein Opening Medicinal Solution. Even though he had all the medicinal ingredients on him ready, he still needed a few more Orange Flame Stones.
Whether it was the 100,000 year old Earth Pine Vein or the fourth grade spirit medicine grade Lingzhi and Qian Yuan Ginseng, they were both extremely rare existences to Mo Wuji. Before refining the medicine, he had to purify the medicinal liquid from these herbs. Other than these, there was an even more important type of spirit medicine, which was the purple lotus root silk.
For the other spirit medicine, Mo Wuji might be able to purify it with the Red Flame Stone, but for this Purple Lotus Root Silk, Mo Wuji was half sure.
Coupled with the fact that Mo Wuji was preparing to open a dan shop in Questioning Heaven City, he decided to go to Questioning Heaven City first.
……
Before travelling to Ask Heavenly City, the only cultivation city Mo Wuji had been to was Border City to be exact. There were also many cultivators present in Changluo, and that place was definitely not considered a cultivation city.
If the feeling that Border City gave Mo Wuji was a mottled vicissitude of history, then the feeling that Questioning Heaven City gave Mo Wuji was a kingly aura surrounded by immortal rhythms.
Mo Wuji thought to himself that perhaps this was due to the influence of the Heavenly Enquiring Palace. If it was said that in the Lost Continent, there was still a true Heavenly Clan, then that Heavenly Clan would definitely be the Heavenly Enquiring School Palace. Don’t look at the fact that he was an outer disciple of the Heavenly Questioning Academy Palace, and the place where he lived was the uninvited Outer Sect Peak Din District of the Heavenly Questioning Academy Palace. This identity of his still made the genius disciples of many sects envious and jealous.
Walking into Questioning Heaven City, Mo Wuji was even more shocked by the prosperity of the place. He was certain that there might not be even one disciple out of 10,000 who had truly come out of the Heavenly Enquiring Academy Palace in the Heavenly Enquiring City, as there were simply too many people here.
A wide street stretched out like a ray, straight and smooth. People were coming and going on the streets, and every shop had an overcrowded scene.
Mo Wuji knew that it was a little difficult for him to open a shop here after just looking at a few shops. Not to mention other factors, just by virtue of the fact that Ask Heavenly City was truly prosperous and lively, how much would the price of that shop be? Maybe Zhen Shaoke hadn’t asked about the prices of the shops in Heavenly City either.
Mo Wuji shook his head helplessly, if it was really not possible, it would be better to receive Fei Bingzhu and the others to live in his Ding District.
Luo Hai Merchant House, as soon as Mo Wuji saw the name, he walked in without hesitation. He hadn’t really thought that Luo Hai Commercial Building actually had the ability to open a branch in Questioning Heaven City. Moreover, this Luo Hai Commercial Building in Questioning Heaven City didn’t look too small, covering an area that wasn’t at all worse than the one in Chang Luo City.
Mo Wuji was no stranger to Luo Hai Commercial Building. His Immortal Mortal Technique was purchased from the Luo Hai Merchant House, as well as the pill refining equipment that he was carrying, it was also from the Luo Hai Merchant House. It was right now, he still had an orange points plate of Luo Hai Merchant House on him.
“May I ask my friend what you need?” Mo Wuji had just stepped into Luo Hai Merchant House when a mate greeted him with a smile on his face.
Mo Wuji didn’t like this kind of greeting much, and he could understand it. Questioning Heaven City was indeed prosperous, and the competition here was just as fierce.
“I want to take a look at the introductory books on spirit herbs, and I also want to purchase some flame stones.” Mo Wuji said.
“Could it be that senior is a dan master?” The fellow stood in awe, his address was changed to senior, and his tone was even more respectful, “Senior, please follow me.”
Mo Wuji followed the fellow to the third floor, and when he saw the rows and rows of flame stones of various colours, he secretly said that this time, it was truly an eye-opener. It was the same Luo Hai Merchant House, but the Luo Hai Merchant House here had things that were more than a thousand times better than the Luo Hai Merchant House in Chang Luo City.
There were quite a few Red Flame Stones that Mo Wuji had on him, which he had no interest in looking at. He glanced at the price of the Orange Flame Stones, each one was worth a thousand Xuan Grade Spirit Stones. Mo Wuji sighed in relief, fortunately, this price did not put any pressure on him. He had nearly eight hundred thousand earth grade spirit stones on him right now.
Mo Wuji’s gaze was placed on the Yellow Flame Stones, each priced at one hundred thousand Xuan Grade Spirit Stones, one hundred times that of the Orange Flame Stones. Fortunately, he was still able to accept it.
Mo Wuji’s gaze then landed on the Green Flame Stones, each priced at 150,000 ……
Seeing 150,000, Mo Wuji’s heart sighed in relief. The price of 150,000 Xuanpin Spirit Stones was equally no pressure on him, it looked like he could purchase the Green Flame Stones ……
But then Mo Wuji was dumbfounded, he followed and saw that the 150,000 was not followed by Xuan Pin Spirit Stones, but Earth Pin Spirit Stones.
The little bit of spirit stones he had on him if he were to purchase green flame stones, he probably wouldn’t be able to purchase more than a few before he had nothing left. There was also a type of Green Flame Stone behind the Green Flame Stone, Mo Wuji shook his head and even the mood to look at the price disappeared.
“Senior, have you chosen a flame stone?” Seeing Mo Wuji’s gaze leave the flame stone, the mate who followed him to the side hurriedly asked.
Mo Wuji nodded, “Give me ten orange flame stones and three yellow flame stones. Then take me to see the spirit herb books.”
“Alright!” The mate replied extremely enthusiastically, in his opinion, only an alchemist would be as generous as Mo Wuji.
One must know that even Dan Masters did not purchase many flame stones, and even if they did, they would only purchase one or two.
The vast majority of dan masters would choose earth fire to refine pills, and a good earth fire was even more advanced than a green flame stone. But when the price was compared to the Green Flame Stone, it was simply the same as no money at all.
The mate once again brought Mo Wuji to the fourth floor, which was filled with all types of books. Including feats, magic techniques, travelogues, cultivation reviews ……
As long as you want it, it seems that it can be purchased here.
“Take a book that you have the most complete introduction to spirit medicine here.” Mo Wuji swept through the rows of densely packed books and gave up on the idea of searching for it himself.
The mate patted his chest, “Don’t worry senior, I’m very familiar with all the dan books here, I’ll help you find the Land Spirit Herbs authored by Senior Mo Xue ……”
How come he has the same surname as himself? Mo Wuji casually asked, “Who is this Senior Mo Xue? How come I haven’t heard of it?”
This time it was the mate’s turn to stare blankly, he didn’t expect Mo Wuji to have never heard of Mo Xue. It took him a while before he realised that he was being impolite and hurriedly said, “Senior Mo Xue is our Lost Continent’s greatest loose dan master, she has pioneered countless dan dao precedents. And is also a Heavenly Dan Master, but she became famous a thousand years ago. After she became a Heavenly Dan Master, she left everyone’s sight in order to pursue a higher Dan Dao, leaving behind a book of terrestrial spirit herbs.
There were once countless dan masters in the Lost Continent, and there were some Heavenly Dan Masters as well, but the only one who could leave a name in history was Senior Mo Xue. Later on, the Land Spirit Herb was listed as a mandatory study of the Dan Dao by many clans, and was also one of the most basic Dan books for many alchemists to get started.”
At this moment, the mate was already doubting whether Mo Wuji was a dan master or not, he had previously thought that Mo Wuji was going to purchase some books commenting on dan masters’ insights on spirit herbs, but he didn’t expect that Mo Wuji was going to purchase the most complete dan book on spirit herbs. This was even if it was okay, what was outrageous was that Mo Wuji actually didn’t know about Senior Mo Xue.
“I’ll take the Land Spirit Herb by Mo Xue, how many spirit stones in total plus the previous ones?” Mo Wuji immediately made up his mind. The writings of a Heavenly Dan Master must be very impressive.
No matter how much one doubted whether Mo Wuji was a dan master or not, he was still very happy with a customer mate like Mo Wuji, “Senior, a total of 31,100 terrestrial spirit stones.”
Mo Wuji took out his spirit stone card to pay for the spirit stones, and without even having the intention to continue strolling around the bustling Questioning Heaven City, he returned to his residence at Outer Sect Peak as fast as he could.
