Earthly Deity Chapter 165

“I’ve been looking for you for a long time.” Mo Wuji had just left the Scripture Pavilion when he was called out.

Cen Shuyin, there was no need to even look at the face, just by listening to this voice, Mo Wuji knew who the other party was.

Mo Wuji turned his head back, and sure enough, he saw Cen Shuyin walking over. Even though Mo Wuji didn’t have anything to exchange with Cen Shuyin, he still couldn’t deny that every time he saw this woman, it was a treat as far as that kind of pure natural beauty was concerned.

“Senior Sister Cen, I really don’t have the means to exchange the Thunder System Tempering Technique with you.” Mo Wuji said helplessly, he knew that Cen Shuyin was very eager for his sublime Thunder System Tempering Technique.

Cen Shuyin said calmly, “I really do need your lightning system quenching technique, I can exchange it with you. Just now, were you stopped from going to the hidden scripture pavilion to read a book? If you’re willing to do so, I can exchange my sect contribution points with you.”

If he could, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to exchange with Cen Shuyin. He really didn’t want to go on any bullsh*t quests, he wanted to grab all the time he could to cultivate and advance right now. But he really didn’t have a lightning system quenching technique.

Seeing that Mo Wuji didn’t say anything, Cen Shuyin continued, “I found the Outer Sect Peak from the Immortal Refinement Tower, and then found the Transmission Hall, and then came back to the Scripture Pavilion ……”

Speaking here Cen Shuyin shook her lips, perhaps it wasn’t her intention, but this action of hers was even more so that her beauty was revealed.

“Because this Thunder System Hardening is really important to me ……” Cen Shuyin changed her tone, she had never said so many words at once. Not to mention the fact that it was to a male cultivator that she basically didn’t know.

Mo Wuji was helpless, he hesitated for a while and suddenly said, “Since you know that I went to the class, I’ll ask you a question about what I heard today, if you can answer correctly, I’ll give you the Thunder System Tempering Technique.”

“Okay, go ahead and ask!” Hearing Mo Wuji’s words, Cen Shuyin’s face revealed extreme surprise, that expression made Mo Wuji seem to see a little girl who was leaping for candy.

He actually remembered Xia Ruoyin at this moment, back when Xia Ruoyin was still small, she wasn’t as icy and not very talkative as she was later on. In fact, Xia Ruoyin was very lively when she was very young, and the most common action she made was to leap for joy like Cen Shuyin did just now. Sometimes it was for sweets, sometimes it was simply to make Mo Wuji happy.

“Senior Brother Mo, go ahead and ask.” Without waiting for Mo Wuji’s question, Cen Shuyin reminded again.

Slightly lost in thought, Mo Wuji came back to his senses, because of the suddenly remembered Xia Ruoyin, Cen Shuyin’s perfect image seemed to have suddenly disappeared, and the Cen Shuyin in front of his eyes was nothing more than a female cultivator who was begging for a deal for the sake of profit.

“Usually, even the most talented cultivator can only open up ninety-nine spirit complexes at the Pulse Expansion Realm Spirit Opening. However, there are very few cultivators who can open up a hundred, or even a hundred and one spirit complexes. So let me ask you now, if you have already opened up ninety-nine spirit complexes, how would you go about opening up the hundredth?”

Mo Wuji tried his best to put his emotions aside and asked this question in a condensed voice that he most urgently needed to know the answer to.

He was certain that there was no way for Cen Shuyin to answer this question, no matter how powerful Cen Shuyin was, she was only powerful in terms of her cultivation qualifications. It couldn’t be that she was still more powerful than Dai Zhu, who specialised in spirit complexes, in terms of insight, could it?

Cen Shuyin nodded, her face turning serious and composed, ”In the Ancient Cultivation Realm, opening up the hundredth Spirit Complex is actually not an extremely rare occurrence. Not to mention the hundredth, even the one hundred and eleventh spirit complex has been opened by someone. The hundredth and one hundred and first spirit complexes were both called Reserve Yuan complexes, and there was only one means to open up the hundredth spirit complex, and that was that one had to advance to the tenth level of Pulse Expansion, and at the tenth level of Pulse Expansion, one had to build up the spirit with the help of the Heavenly Luo Flower. Because building the spirit with the Tianluo Flower could only be done at the tenth level of Pulse Expansion. At the instant the Heavenly Lox Flower builds its spirit, the hundredth spirit complex can be opened up ……”

Mo Wuji froze, originally, he wanted to ask a question to let Cen Shuyin know what to do. Did that mean that I won’t sell the gongfu to you, but that you can’t answer my question.

Before asking the question, Mo Wuji definitely did not expect that Cen Shuyin could even answer this kind of question. To know that the question that Cen Shuyin answered was exactly the answer that he was going to look for in the Hidden Scriptures Pavilion ah. Mo Wuji was even prepared for a situation where he wouldn’t be able to find the answer even in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, but he didn’t expect that he would get it so easily now.

The Tianluo Flower could build the spirit at the 10th level of Pulse Expansion, and at the instant of building the spirit at the 10th level of Pulse Expansion, one could then use the Tianluo Flower to open up the hundredth spirit complex.

The answer was that simple, Dai Zhu, a master who studied spirit complexes, didn’t know, but Cen Shuyin knew it on the contrary.

Seeing that Mo Wuji didn’t speak, Cen Shuyin’s heart tightened, she was worried that Mo Wuji wouldn’t count his words, so she added, “I also know that there is only one place where the Heavenly Lox Flower grows in the entire Lost Continent, and that is the Lost Heavenly Market.”

“Lost Heavenly Market? Where is that?” Mo Wuji subconsciously asked.

Cen Shuyin said, “Yes, the Lost Heavenly Ruins, in fact, the five empires that we are in, being called the Lost Continent by the people from the Outer Regions is not without a basis. That basis is the Lost Heavenly Ruins, the Lost Heavenly Ruins are rumoured to be the battlefield of the ancient gods, and there are very many treasures in this place. Also because of the revelations, there were Lost Heavenly Ruins in every sect’s mission trial. But after going in, even a True God powerhouse can’t guarantee a safe exit.”

Cen Shuyin finished in one breath, her hand clenching her fist. For the sake of this Thunder System Tempering Technique, the words she said in a year combined might not even be as much as what she said to Mo Wuji today.

Seeing that she had answered so many of Mo Wuji’s questions, and Mo Wuji still did not mention the matter of the merit law, Cen Shuyin frowned a little.

“Senior Sister Cen, I have a sword technique’s inheritance crystal ball, how about I give you this inheritance crystal ball?” Mo Wuji really couldn’t take out the Thunder System Tempering Technique, so he could only take out his Formless Sword.

This sword skill had never been opened after he obtained it.

Cen Shuyin’s face sank, but she didn’t say a word. She never held grudges against people, yet she was not willing to be teased like this.

Seeing that Cen Shuyin didn’t say anything, Mo Wuji knew that it wouldn’t work if he didn’t be truthful. But for him to reveal the matter of the Vein Opening Medicinal Fluid, it was absolutely impossible.

After just a moment of hesitation, Mo Wuji simply said, “Senior Sister Cen, it’s not that I’m not willing to give this technique to you. Rather, it’s because it’s merely a lightning technique, named Heavenly Thunder Seven Styles ……”

Mo Wuji had no choice but to prepare to talk about the Heavenly Thunder Seven Style.

Cen Shuyin calmly said, “Keeping one’s promise is the most basic virtue, since you promised, even if it’s a magic skill, you have to exchange it with me.”

Mo Wuji reached out and stopped Cen Shuyin’s words, “Senior Sister Cen, there’s another reason why I won’t exchange with you. That is that this Heavenly Thunder Seven Styles is life-threatening, back then, I was almost burnt to death because of cultivating the Heavenly Thunder Seven Styles.”

Speaking of this, Mo Wuji simply handed that tattered remnant of the first stance of the Heavenly Thunder Seven Styles to Cen Shuyin, “Here you go, this is it. I was spared from death because I was in a place of extreme ice when I was cultivating, otherwise I would have died a long time ago.”

Mo Wuji said this because he was also worried that Cen Shuyin would casually cultivate and end up dying. Telling Cen Shuyin that it was only because she was in a place of extreme ice that she was spared from death was also because he hoped that Cen Shuyin would go to the place of extreme ice when she cultivated.

“Give me your disciple identity card.” Cen Shuyin took the remnants of the Seven Styles of Heavenly Thunder scroll that Mo Wuji gave her and scanned it, not knowing if she believed Mo Wuji’s words or not.

“No need, you can take this. I’m not that desperate for contribution points right now.” Mo Wuji knew that Cen Shuyin wanted to give him contribution points to exchange. He really didn’t want to take advantage of this, this first of the Seven Styles of Heavenly Thunder was really worthless to him.

Cen Shuyin didn’t reply and directly raised her hand to grab the disciple identity card that Mo Wuji had hung on his waist and took out her own identity card. The two identity tags touched together lifted their hands and scratched, then turned around and walked away.

Mo Wuji subconsciously looked at his own disciple identity card and realised that there was an additional 1,000 contribution points on it. Mo Wuji shook his head, since it was given, it couldn’t be refused.

……

With the contribution points, Mo Wuji lost interest in the Scripture Pavilion. Instead, what he wanted to know the most right now was the Tian Luo Flower, and if he wanted to know about the Tian Luo Flower, he still had to go to the Mission Hall.

The first thing Mo Wuji noticed when he walked into the Task Hall was not the various contribution points tasks, but a huge ranking list, the Ask Heavenly Ranking List.

Mo Wuji had climbed the Heaven Asking Steps, he had climbed to the eighth step, and the highest on this ranking list was surprisingly the ninety-first step.

The top ranked one was called Gou Zi Han, this name was a bit odd. Mo Wuji looked all the way down and surprisingly, he also found someone he recognised, Cen Shuyin who ranked 50th, with a rank of 54th step.

Mo Wuji was puzzled, although Cen Shuyin’s cultivation level was much higher than his, he was certain that Cen Shuyin had not crossed into the Yuan Dan Realm. A cultivator who hadn’t crossed over into the Yuan Dan Realm was able to obtain the fiftieth place in the Ranking of the Heaven Asking Order?

Mo Wuji hurriedly pulled a cultivator beside him and asked, “May I ask this senior brother, is it true that the higher the cultivation level of the Heaven Asking Steps, the higher one climbs?”

This cultivator sized up Mo Wuji, and at first glance, he knew that Mo Wuji was a newcomer. He then said in an educated tone, “You’re new here, right? The higher the cultivation level of the Heaven Asking Rank, the harder it is to climb up, and the older the bone age, the harder it is to climb up as well. My Questioning Heaven School Palace has proved over countless years that those who are over a hundred years old and want to climb the Questioning Heaven Steps again, it would be a thousand times more difficult.”

“Then again, may I ask senior brother, if two people climbed the same Heaven Asking Steps at the same time, how would one recognise the rankings?” Mo Wuji asked again.

This cultivator said indifferently, “I’ve already told you that the Heaven Asking Steps is also the place for the Bone Age Potential Test. For people of the same rank, naturally, whoever is younger will have a higher ranking. Look at Senior Uncle Hook, younger than me, already at the eighth level of the Yuan Dan realm, and climbed up to the ninety-first step, that’s the pride of the heavens.”

After saying this, this cultivator didn’t bother to pay attention to Mo Wuji, but there was an extra glow of admiration in his eyes.
