Earthly Deity Chapter 170

Mo Wuji was sure that this fellow had something going on, otherwise, he wouldn’t have come in such a hurry to make a wink at him.

Pushing the thin booklet in his hand, Mo Wuji apologetically said, “Shopkeeper Qi, this isn’t very useful to me, I’m going to take a look elsewhere, thanks ……”

“Don’t be in a hurry, you still have two more pages to look at, maybe what you need is on the first or second page ……” As Mo Wuji expected, Qi Laoshi seemed like he wasn’t too anxious about business, but once Mo Wuji wanted to leave, he was a little anxious.

Mo Wuji said after a little contemplation, “Shopkeeper Qi, honestly, the price of your stuff is too high ……”

“The map plus this spirit booklet, it only costs you a total of 50,000 Earth Spirit Stones ……” Qi Laoshi said hurriedly, this time Mo Wuji could even hear his worried heartbeat.

Mo Wuji noticed that the fellow at the door made another anxious glance at him, and he became more and more puzzled as to what was going on.

“Twenty thousand Earth Grade Spirit Stones, if you want to sell, I’ll pay the spirit stones right away, if not I’ll leave.” Mo Wuji said with what appeared to be some impatience.

Perhaps it was because that fellow helped Mo Wuji, Qi Laoshi also saw that fellow, he grinned his black teeth and shoved the two items into Mo Wuji’s hands, “Sell, why not ……”

After Mo Wuji took out his spirit stone card and paid the spirit stone, he casually threw the two items into his storage bag and turned around.

Mo Wuji had just gone out when a crack creaked open at the back of Qi Laoshi’s tiny grocery shop, and a woman dressed in grey walked out.

“How’s it going, what exactly did that kid just now want? Is it looking for the Tianluo Flower?” The woman stabilised as soon as she came out.

Qi Laoshi grinned his mouth full of black teeth, “I’m not very sure if it’s Tianluo Flower, this kid is too shrewd. In the end, it was only when I deliberately made a nervous face about not being able to do business that I was able to test out that he might really need one of these things, and there is a high possibility that it’s the Tianluo Flower. However, there is also a possibility that he really purchased it unintentionally.”

“Bah!” The woman spat on Qi Laoshi’s head with a mouthful of spit, “Idiot, when he flipped down the sixth page, his mood obviously had some slight fluctuations, old lady heard it all, you old idiot. Unintentional purchase, will pay twenty thousand earth spirit stones?”

Qi Laoshi heatedly accompanied with a smile and said, “This is definitely a lord who is not poor in spirit stones, he has a treasure on his body that conceals the aura of spirit rhyme, possessing this kind of treasure, do you think he can lack spirit stones?”

The woman fell silent, if that person just now really had a treasure on his body that concealed the aura of spirit rhyme, then it really wasn’t a lord that lacked spirit stones.

Only after a long time did the woman ask, “The things he took were all marked, right?”

“Don’t worry here, the things are all well imprinted. Otherwise, wouldn’t that one Silent Tee Pill be in vain. As long as he goes to that place, he will definitely take the Silent Tee Dan. As soon as he uses the Silent Tee Dan, I’ll be able to tell.” Qi Laoshi said smugly.

……

“This Qi Laoshi you introduced is really not honest at all, his stuff is too expensive.” As soon as Mo Wuji walked out of Qi Laoshi’s shop, he said to the mate waiting outside.

Although he was satisfied with purchasing the provenance of the Heavenly Locus Flower, the price could simply be described as heavenly.

The mate hurriedly said, “Although Qi Laoshi’s stuff is expensive, it’s really worth every penny. I don’t know about other things, I once introduced a customer to Qi Laoshi’s shop to purchase a manual of spirit distribution, and as a result, that customer was very satisfied, and he specially rewarded me, saying that I could do the job.”

Hearing these words, Mo Wuji suddenly had a very strange feeling, there was something inexplicable that he seemed to want to grab hold of but couldn’t, in general.

“Right, what is it that you came to find me for? So urgent?” Mo Wuji suddenly remembered why this fellow came to him in a hurry?

The mate also remembered the purpose of his visit and hurriedly pulled Mo Wuji to the side and whispered, “Friend, I just saw a wanted notice outside, the portrait of the person on it vaguely resembles you ……”

Mo Wuji’s heart thumped, he guessed that someone from the Heavenly Enquiring School Palace would suspect that he had taken out Jin Jiuzhen, but he didn’t guess that his wanted notice would appear so quickly. He had just arrived at the Lost Heavenly Ruins in the front, and the wanted notice came after him in the back. Perhaps this wanted notice wasn’t just in the Lost Heavenly Ruins, it was estimated that all those cities he might have gone to had this kind of wanted notice posted.

This Jin Jiuzhen was not bragging, and was indeed an important figure in the Dao Sect. The Dao Sect was definitely the number one door in the Questioning Heaven School Palace, with its status still above the Dan Tower and the Sword Lake.

“Senior, I’ll take you out the back door.” The mate whispered.

“Good, thank you very much.” Mo Wuji knew that for this fellow to be able to make this kind of informative move, aside from wanting to get some payment in from him, more importantly, the six Earth Yuan Dan that he had given earlier had worked. It was true that where there was a cause, there was a consequence, even befriending a paltry fellow could be of great help to him.

The fellow led Mo Wuji around the underground trading place for a dozen times before pointing to a passageway and said to Mo Wuji, “Senior, going up from here is the outside of the Lost Heavenly Market Trading Market, I can’t accompany senior there, I’m going to return the way I came.”

Mo Wuji took out a jade bottle and handed it to the fellow, “This is for you, thank you for leading the way.”

After saying these words, Mo Wuji quickly entered that passageway and soon disappeared. His divine thoughts had already swept through the front, confirming that the mate hadn’t lied to him, this was indeed the passageway to leave the underground trading market.

Leaving the Underground Trading Market, Mo Wuji did not return to the lively and prosperous Heavenly Market Place, instead, he recognised a direction and rushed all the way there.

While running along the way, he opened the map that he had purchased from Qi Laoshi.

Half a day later, Mo Wuji stopped. In front of him was a barren, sandy land that had no boundaries to be seen at all. According to the map, entering the sandy land was the same as entering the range of the Lost Heavenly Ruins.

Mo Wuji put away the map, and he had realised that he hadn’t brought any water with him. However, thinking that he was at the 12th level of Pulse Expansion, he wouldn’t have to die of thirst in the desert.

Someone wanted him and had found their way to the Lost Heavenly Ruins, he definitely couldn’t go back to look for water.

Mo Wuji simply stepped straight into the desert and soon disappeared in the midst of the roiling yellow sand.

……

Tens of millions of miles away from the Lost Heavenly Ruins, in the great hall of the Dao Sect of the Ask Heavenly Academy Palace, Dao Sect Elder Jin Yu’s face was extremely ugly. His most favoured descendant of the same clan, Jin Jiu Zhen, had actually been killed, or was killed in the middle of the road from the Heavenly Academy Palace to Heavenly City.

How could this not make him angry? One must know that Jin Jiuzhen was the one he had specially brought to the Heavenly Questioning Academy Palace back to his clan.

“The one who killed Jiu Zhen was definitely someone from my Questioning Heaven Academy Palace, someone from elsewhere wouldn’t make a move there, and at the same time wouldn’t have the guts to do so. I wish to thoroughly investigate all the cultivators above the Spirit Building Realm in the Heavenly Academy Palace of Enquiry, and I ask the Daolord to support me.” Jin Yu cupped his fists to a beardless man sitting at the first place and said with extremely resolute words.

This beardless man was none other than the Dao Master of the Dao Sect of the Heavenly Academy Palace, Qu Jiangyuan, who was different from Granny Linglong of the Dan Pagoda, where the numerous Dan Masters of the Dan Pagoda couldn’t control anyone. The Dao Master of the Dao Sect, on the other hand, was the number one person in the entire Dao Sect of the Heavenly Enquiring Academy Palace.

Qu Jiangyuan looked at the surrounding elders, at this moment, no one stood out to help Jin Yu. Because that same clan descendant of Jin Yu was just a little too domineering, relying on Jin Yu to back him up, his own spiritual root qualification was powerful, in the Questioning Heaven Academy Palace was an existence that walked sideways.

Once this kind of person went out, sooner or later, he would have to suffer. Unexpectedly, now he was killed before even going out.

Seeing that no one stood up to speak, Qu Jiangyuan could only say helplessly, “The dean will definitely not agree to this matter, no matter how good Jin Jiuzhen’s spiritual root is, he is only a Pulse Expansion Realm disciple. My Inquiring Heaven Academy Palace is full of geniuses, if Elder Jin thinks it’s feasible, I can help you ask on your behalf.”

“Brother Jin, could it be that you didn’t leave a mark in Jin Jiuzhen’s storage bag?” A female cultivator sitting next to Jin Yu asked suspiciously.

Jin Yu sighed and said, “How could I not make a mark? Not only the storage bag, but also Nine Zhen’s spirit stones, pills, and magic treasures, I have all made marks. Nay this person must be a repeat offender, he didn’t want any of these things at all.”

In fact, could he not be unaware of what he had just said, the dao master was bound to not agree. Even if the Daolord agreed, the Dean would not agree. Checking the entire Questioning Heaven Academy? His Jin Yu’s face wasn’t that big yet. When he said that just now, it was just to pave the way for the later request.

“Daolord, then I wish to issue a wanted notice in the name of the Heavenly Enquiring Academy Palace ……” After answering the question he had just asked, Jin Yu said once again. This sentence was what he wanted to say.

Qu Jiangyuan asked suspiciously, “You know who killed them?”

Jin Yu shook his head, “Right now I don’t know, but before Jiu Zhen was killed, he had a conflict with a disciple from the outer gate peak. And after that, Jiu Zhen and his two guards were killed outside while that outer gate peak disciple happened to leave the Heavenly Enquiring Academy.”

As for the fact that he had investigated that Jin Jiuzhen had sent someone to intercept Mo Wuji at his residence, he would not say anything about it. This kind of thing was fine in secret, it couldn’t be taken out and said.

“Oh, that Outer Gate Peak disciple’s cultivation is high? What’s his name?” Qu Jiangyuan moved to ask.

Jin Yu had no choice but to say, “Called Mo Wuji, he just joined the outer gate of the Heavenly Enquiring Palace of Learning not long ago. As for his cultivation, it’s not very high, it should be at Pulse Expansion Perfection.”

In fact, Jin Yu was also puzzled, he had investigated Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji was indeed at the Pulse Expansion Realm, and he hadn’t found any news of Mo Wuji’s Spirit Building either. It was evident that Mo Wuji really didn’t have a Spirit Building Spirit, and a mole without a Spirit Building Spirit killed two mid Spirit Building Spirit and a Pulse Expansion 9th level, could he not be puzzled?

“Hehe, Elder Jin, are you confused with anger? A Pulse Expansion Realm cultivator from the Outer Sect Peak killed two Spirit Building Realm ones, as well as your fellow clan’s son, Jin Jiuzhen, who is also at the Pulse Expansion Ninth Level, right? You tell me instead, how did this cultivator do it?” A Dao Sect Elder who was already at odds with Jin Yu did not hesitate to speak out in retaliation.

If it wasn’t for the fact that an important inner disciple of the Dao Sect had been killed and he had to come over, he really wouldn’t have bothered to come and discuss such a boring matter.

Jin Yu said with a cold face, “Who knows if he has any helpers.”

After saying that, Jin Yu once again clasped his fists, “Dao Master, I just want to capture this person back to ask him clearly in person.”
