Earthly Deity Chapter 168

Mo Wuji walked out of the stage station where he bought the tickets and easily saw the Ask Luo airship in the square.

The three big words ‘Ask Luo Ship’ were extremely conspicuous, and this airship was also the biggest one here.

With the ticket Mo Wuji directly boarded the airship, and when he reached the ship he realised that he had to go to his room with the number on the ticket. This was because the two times Mo Wuji had travelled on the airship before, he didn’t need a room number. The first time was with Zhen Shaoke which amounted to a specialised boat, the second time he travelled to the Heavenly Enquiring Academy, that airship was even bigger than this one, there weren’t a lot of people, and the room was naturally no-nonsense.

Right now, his room number was 121 on the bottom floor, 121 wasn’t considered the worst room, it wasn’t considered a good room either, it could only be described as a medium to low room. What made Mo Wuji relieved was that the room was occupied by a single person. It was evident that when that fellow quoted the price, he casually quoted a cheap room and didn’t think that he would be staying.

Mo Wuji closed the door as soon as he entered the room, and at the same time put up a closed door do not disturb sign. In any case, in the short term, not only could he not return to the Heavenly Enquiring Academy, he could not even be seen by his acquaintances.

The Questioning Luo airship was extremely punctual, after Mo Wuji waited for half an hour, the Questioning Luo airship shook slightly and rushed up into the clouds.

As the airship left Questioning Heaven City, Mo Wuji was finally relieved. At least he didn’t have to be chased to Border City by Xu Fei Bo, the Second Elder of the Traceless Sword Sect, before he could even get on the teleportation array like last time.

He decided to use this month’s time to cultivate to the 10th level of Pulse Expansion before saying anything else, a pile of spirit stones were taken out by Mo Wuji and piled up around him.

After opening up the ninety-nine veins, Mo Wuji’s absorption of spiritual qi was like a giant whale sucking in water, swift and rough.

He was a Vein Expansion Realm cultivator, taking out a bunch of Earth Grade Spirit Stones to cultivate, and absorbing them at such a fast rate, he couldn’t even think of cultivating faster.

In just a few days, Mo Wuji broke through the late stage of the 10th Pulse Expansion Layer, and on the 10th day of stepping onto this boat, he cultivated to the consummation of the 10th Pulse Expansion Layer without any hindrance.

Mo Wuji let out a sigh of relief, the consummation of the 10th layer of Pulse Expansion, before Spirit Building, he should not have to cultivate anymore.

Just as Mo Wuji was about to put away the extra spirit stones, his cultivation at the 10th level of Pulse Expansion once again loosened up, which caused Mo Wuji to almost stand up in shock.

There was no way for him not to be scared, it wasn’t Spirit Building that he wanted, even if he wanted Spirit Building, he didn’t want to do it now. He hadn’t found the Heavenly Locus Flower yet, how could he build his spirit? If he were to build his spirit now, it would mean that he would lose the chance to open up his hundredth chakra.

However, both his cultivation to break through and his cultivation not being able to break through were not something Mo Wuji could control, after his cultivation reached the 10th level of Vein Expansion, his thick and powerful Yuan Power directly tore open a new realm. As this new realm was rushed open, Mo Wuji simply threw away some of his thoughts and started absorbing aura with all his might.

Since the heavens had destined him to be unable to open the hundredth spirit chakra, then let’s build the spirit.

The moment the realm broke through, the even thicker Yuan Power caused Mo Wuji to rejoice, and then he once again felt that something wasn’t right. This was still not the Spirit Building Realm, but the eleventh level of the Vein Expansion Realm.

Mo Wuji was instantly dumbfounded, he had heard of the 10th layer of the Pulse Expansion Realm and knew that the Pulse Expansion Realm was cultivated to the 10th layer, the Spirit Building Realm was cultivated to the 10th layer, and then the Dematerialisation Realm and then to the 10th layer would be able to impact the Human Extreme Realm.

However, he really hadn’t heard of the eleventh layer of the Pulse Expansion Realm, what was going on?

The Immortal Mortal Technique was still absorbing spiritual qi like crazy, and his cultivation level was still still climbing. Mo Wuji simply clenched his teeth and swung out a bunch of spirit stones once again, continuing to absorb spirit qi to cultivate. Since he didn’t know, he would continue to cultivate.

Once again, half a month passed, and when Mo Wuji felt his realm reach its peak again, he broke through the realm once again without any surprises.

Pulse Expansion Realm 12th Layer ……

As his strength continued to rise wildly, Mo Wuji didn’t have the excitement from the first time, he was already numb. If you want to advance, go ahead and advance, can you still keep advancing at the Pulse Expansion Realm?

If it wasn’t for the fact that the spirit stones on his body had already been consumed, Mo Wuji would have planned to continue cultivating. He just wanted to see just how many layers he could cultivate to in the Pulse Expansion Realm.

Ever since entering the airship, Mo Wuji had not gone out. Mo Wuji estimated that there should still be a few more days before he reached the Lost Heavenly Market.

Although the spirit stone card could be exchanged for spirit stones on the airship, Mo Wuji didn’t want to do that, he didn’t plan to show his face at all. There were still more than twenty days to go, and Mo Wuji decided that he would still study Storage Star Zi’s Formation Dao. He had already seen the appearance of the Heavenly Lore Flower in the Land Spirit Grass. As for the book Land Spirit Grass, he didn’t intend to spend time reading it right now.

Ever since he had copied down the things from the Storage Starzi under the Ice Peak, he had never bothered to study it.

Mo Wuji was a person who could easily delve in, no matter it was anything, as long as he was serious about it, he could quickly sink his teeth into it. Whether it was on Earth, or in this place.

Five days passed by, and Mo Wuji almost felt nothing. It wasn’t until the bell in his room rang and the rooms opened automatically that he realised that the Lost Heavenly Market had arrived.

Mo Wuji walked out of the room and saw groups of people walking down from the airship, and secretly marvelled in his heart at how many spirit stones this airship had to earn in one trip?

Following the crowd out of the airship, it was only then that Mo Wuji saw that this place had almost formed a not-so-small open-air city. Or rather, an open-air venue.

This was because there were both tall multi-storey merchant buildings and some ground stalls and shops. Mo Wuji even saw someone with a furnace, casually setting up a stall, and putting up a sign that they were refining weapons for people.

Mo Wuji walked into this open-air marketplace and realised that it was simply a grocery market. There was only what you couldn’t think of, there was nothing you couldn’t buy here.

Mo Wuji chose a shop that wasn’t very big and walked in, the bigger the merchant building, the more conspicuous it was, what he wanted now was to be inconspicuous.

“This gentleman, may I ask what you need? The things we have here are cheap and genuine.” The shop mate looked young and spoke politely and eloquently. In Mo Wuji’s opinion, this fellow was only in the late Pulse Expansion stage at most.

Mo Wuji directly ignored the mate’s later words and asked, “I need the existing map of the Lost Heavenly Ruins, and I also need the general directions of where some of the spirit items in the Lost Heavenly Ruins are produced.”

The mate hurriedly said, “So Master is going to the Lost Heavenly Ruins, I don’t know if Master wants to purchase the good ones or the general ones.”

Mo Wuji said doubtfully, “Of course I want to purchase the good ones.”

The mate said in a low voice, “Disgruntled master said that all the maps sold by all the shops in this place, including the merchant buildings, are all roadkill. If you want to purchase the best maps, as well as the general location maps of some of the rare spiritual objects in the Lost Heavenly Market, the only way is to go to the Heavenly Market Underground Trading Market!”

“Underground Trading Market?” Mo Wuji really didn’t know.

The mate even lowered his voice and said, “The Underground Trading Market is Master Mang’s territory, and the workshop up here is the territory of the Heavenly Market Alliance. Everyone does their own business without interfering with each other. Because the underground trading market has less foot traffic, Master Mang takes the fine goods route. Poor things were not allowed to enter the underground trading market, and only the best things were allowed to enter the underground trading market. Of course, things in the underground trading market are much more expensive than outside.”

Mo Wuji sighed in his heart, it was true that where there were people, there was a jianghu. With a lift of his hand, he took out a jade bottle and handed it to this fellow, “Inside here are six Earthly Yuan Dan, it’s considered to be your hard-earned fee, you take me to the underground trading market.”

When the mate saw that Mo Wuji was actually offering six Earth Origin Dan, he almost dropped the jade bottle on the ground with a shaking hand. He was only leading the way, even half an Earth Origin Dan was too much, and this seemingly insignificant customer actually took out six of them in one shot, this was a fourth grade spirit dan.

This can’t be a fake, right? The mate thought of this and hurriedly opened the jade bottle with a trembling hand. With that, he knew that the pills inside this jade bottle were real. As a shop mate, how could he not recognise a real or fake elixir?

“This, this ……” six real Earth Origin Dan, the mate was also a bit confused. Because he felt that he couldn’t earn many spirit stones from selling a pair of maps, that’s why he wanted to earn some spirit stones by leading the way, which from his experience, earned more than selling maps. But this reward, however, made him almost unable to believe it, it was a little too much.

Mo Wuji himself was a Fourth Grade Earthly Pill Master, six pills were really nothing to him. He wasn’t pretending to be generous either, after entering the Lost Heavenly Ruins, it was a place where one could die at any time. Giving this fellow six Fourth Grade Earthly Pills that were nothing in his eyes, the fellow definitely wouldn’t screw him over. As long as this fellow took him to purchase the real map, he might be able to save a small life because of this.

Sure enough, this fellow slapped his chest, “Don’t worry, master, I will definitely take you to the best shops and purchase the most valuable things.”

The mate was old enough to know the world, and he naturally understood what Mo Wuji meant when he offered six pills.

……

The underground trading market, Mo Wuji naturally understood. It wasn’t really underground, but rather the transactions that few people knew about and weren’t in the open were called underground transactions.

It was only when Mo Wuji was actually brought to the underground trading market by this fellow that he realised that he had really misunderstood. The underground trading market here was still really underground.

Under the guidance of this fellow, Mo Wuji entered the underground trading market from an extremely hidden place.

This market was established at least twenty feet underground, and Mo Wuji could see that there were definitely quite a few people in here. As for how big the area was, it was simply impossible to tell. This was because there were dim lights everywhere, even if it was illuminated with bright light stones, it seemed to have been purposely covered up a little bit.

As for the luminous arrays arranged by those bright light stones, Mo Wuji didn’t even see any of them.

The many trading cultivators came and went in an endless stream, there was no loud clamour, all of them seemed to silently abide by one rule, which was to trade secretly and leave secretly.

Mo Wuji suddenly remembered the phrase “cover your ears and steal your bells”, this phrase was simply too apt to be used here.

The mate kept bringing Mo Wuji to the entrance of a shop where the lights were even dimmer than the many shops around, before he whispered, “This is Qi Laoshi’s shop, everything in his shop is genuine. If you purchase things here, you are guaranteed not to lose out.”

“Thank you, go about your business.” Mo Wuji patted the mate’s shoulder and said.

“Alright.” Seeing that Mo Wuji agreed to lead the way, the mate also happily replied back and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
