When the tall male cultivator brought Qi Laoshi and the masked woman into the underground spirit stone mine, his face changed.
“What’s going on?” Qi Laoshi asked with a low gulp, he had seen the tall male cultivator’s face change. It looked like his premonition from earlier was indeed correct, if he had found the Immortal Sunflower Essence Gold with great difficulty, only to have it cut off midway, then he would be left without tears.
The tall male cultivator cried and said, “Someone came and dug up that Immortal Anemone …….”
Qi Laoshi’s hand immediately clenched his fist, the veins on it were exposed and even trembled slightly, showing how angry and chagrined he was in his heart.
Not only Qi Laoshi, that masked woman, the same low gasp, obviously also very angry in his heart.
“Besides the three of you who know about this place, who else knows about it?” It was only after a good while that Qi Laoshi asked again.
The tall male cultivator shook his head, “No more, only the three of us know.”
If Mo Wuji was in cahoots with him, he would have definitely cursed this guy for being an idiot at this time. If he was to answer this question, he would definitely not say that only the few of them knew. He would say that there was another person who knew, and he also knew where that person lived. In that case, Qi Laoshi wouldn’t kill him right away, but would ask him to continue leading the way.
Qi Laoshi and the masked woman glanced at each other, both knowing that this tall male cultivator should not be lying. Qi Laoshi raised his hand and slapped out with two slaps, and the poor man and the two women were killed by Qi Laoshi’s slaps before they had the chance to enjoy the riches brought by the Spirit Stone Mine.
……
No more than a thousand miles away from this swamp, Mo Wuji was also catching his breath in the cave that he had just dug out. He had run for so many miles with a square foot of something on top of him, even if he was already at the Spirit Building Realm, he was still tired enough at this moment.
It was good that this place was suitable for hiding, it was a dry river. This river was also more than ten feet deep in shallow locations, and in some locations, it was even dozens of feet deep. It was like a canyon, but this was clearly not a canyon as the spiderweb patterned cracks in the dry riverbed were large and clear.
It was evident that this one river hadn’t dried up for a very long time, otherwise, these riverbed cracks wouldn’t exist.
The location Mo Wuji chose was the middle of the riverbank of this dried up river, digging a cave here was almost like digging a cave in a cliff, safe and secure. Moreover, the front of the cave was also blocked by the branches of some dead trees hanging down upside down, making it even less conspicuous.
Mo Wuji even carried away all the fresh soil he dug out, he was planning to stay here for a while.
There were a few reasons why he chose to stay here. One was that he couldn’t run far with such a large chunk on his back, and now his chunk was buried in a hidden location at the bottom of this dry river. The second was that he had just built his spirit, plus he still had a lot of spirit stones on him, it was the right time to cultivate.
Of course, the most important thing was that Mo Wuji didn’t dare to go back for the time being. Don’t look at the fact that he had built his spirit, he was afraid that the moment he returned to the Heavenly Enquiring School Palace, he would be slaughtered.
Since his wanted notice could appear in the marketplace outside the Lost Heavenly Ruins, it meant that there was indeed a strong person behind Jin Jiuzhen, and this strong person also suspected that he had something to do with Jin Jiuzhen’s death. If he also had a backer, as long as he didn’t have a handle to fall back on, he wouldn’t be afraid of other people’s suspicions at all.
The key problem was that he didn’t have a backer.
Apart from these two problems, there was another point, and that was that this place was not far from that swamp spirit stone mine. As long as he was done with his spirit stone cultivation, he could always go back and carry it.
This was just Mo Wuji’s most ideal idea, if he knew that Qi Laoshi had also come here, even if he had made a formation imprint outside that spirit stone mine, he wouldn’t dare to cultivate in seclusion so close to the swamp.
But a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.
Mo Wuji didn’t know that Qi Laoshi would come, so he dared to cultivate in seclusion so close to the spirit stone mine. Similarly Qi Laoshi didn’t know that Mo Wuji not only didn’t go far away after obtaining the Immortal Sunflower Essence Gold, but also dared to stay in this vicinity to cultivate.
So Mo Wuji was still cultivating his, and Qi Laoshi was still searching for them with the woman.
……
Whether it was for a cultivator or a researcher, time was the least valuable. Mo Wuji was both a researcher and a cultivator, and as soon as he started his seclusion, he completely forgot about everything around him. At this time, it was expected that he would only wake up if he broke into the cave where he was cultivating.
This was also the reason why Mo Wuji didn’t dare to cultivate in that swampy spirit stone mine, and it was fortunate that he didn’t cultivate there. If he really stayed there to cultivate, it was estimated that his corpse would have long since chilled.
The spirit stones in the storage bag were all poured out by Mo Wuji, with a hundred veins involved in the circumferential operation, the speed of absorbing spirit qi was extremely astonishing. Coupled with the fact that the spiritual qi was extremely dense in this neighbourhood, Mo Wuji was increasing his cultivation almost every moment.
Two months later, he directly broke through the first layer of Spirit Building and advanced to the second layer of Spirit Building. Five months later, Mo Wuji once again broke through the second layer of Spirit Building to advance to the third layer of Spirit Building. Eight months later, Mo Wuji broke through the early stage of Spirit Building and advanced to the fourth layer of Spirit Building. Having opened up a hundred veins, with this kind of low realm cultivation, he practically had no bottlenecks.
It was at this time that Mo Wuji woke up from his seclusion, he had to because his spirit stones were depleted.
Mo Wuji was tempted to go to the spirit stone mine to move some more spirit stones over and continue cultivating. However, he missed Smokey a little, eight months had passed, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to go back and see Smokey before coming out again, right?
With that, Mo Wuji knew that this was him reassuring himself, as long as he went back, the danger was definitely there. However, without going back to see Smokey, Mo Wuji always felt unsure.
No, there was still a need to go back. It had been almost a year since he came out this time, and he still didn’t know if Smokey was doing well. Besides Smokey, there was also Fei Bingzhu and the others, he promised Fei Bingzhu that he would go to Questioning Heaven City to take care of them. Now he has joined the Heavenly Academy for a year, and has not yet gone to see Fei Bingzhu.
Mo Wuji had decided and was about to go out when suddenly a breaking sound fell from the sky. That breaking sound landed directly on the dry riverbed, Mo Wuji hurriedly walked over to the mouth of the cave to carefully look over and realised that it was a longsword that had broken a small section.
In the next moment after this longsword fell, a young man covered in blood rushed to the riverbed and grabbed that longsword.
Followed by another person rushing down, this person had a head full of silver hair and an extremely white complexion, looking like he had the potential to be a white boy. The magic weapon in his hand was a Dragon Bone Claw, with five bluish claw tips that made people look creepy.
“Ren Tianxing, tell me the directions and I’ll give you a hard time.” The silver-haired man landed in front of the young man covered in blood and said in a cold tone.
“Hahaha!” The young man called Ren Tianxing laughed out loud, “Shao Guangjing, what kind of thing are you? I, Ren Tianxing, was not raised by being threatened. Not to mention you, even if your Bi Solomon’s Sect Leader came over, I wouldn’t look at you squarely.”
Bi Solomon, this sect, Mo Wuji was still really familiar with it. He had a grudge against a guy named Shao Feng inside, this guy was also from Bi Solomon, and his surname was Shao, so he didn’t know what kind of relationship he had with that Shao Feng.
From the moment the name Bi Solomon Shao Guangjing came out, Mo Wuji subconsciously sided with that Ren Tianxing.
Ren Tianxing? This name also seemed somewhat familiar.
Right, Mo Wuji finally remembered. When he left the Heavenly Questioning Palace, he had gone to the Heavenly Questioning Palace’s Mission Hall. At the entrance of the Mission Hall, there was a Heaven Asking List, and that list showed the rankings of the strongest people who climbed the Heaven Asking Steps. He remembered that the guy who was ranked first was called Gou Zihan, while this Ren Tianxing was ranked third.
Asking Heaven Academy ranked third, it should be very strong ah, but he couldn’t even beat a Bilomon guy?
The man called Shao Guangjing said coldly, “Since you want to seek death, then I will fulfil you.”
As he spoke, the Dragon Bone Claw in his hand was raised, and the oozing cold light even carried the slightest aura of death.
Mo Wuji was a little puzzled, it was clearly Shao Guangjing and that Ren Tianxing who were confronting each other, why could he feel the aura of death? After the middle stage of Spirit Establishment, was his strength and perception so powerful to this extent? Knowing that Shao Guangjing had a murderous aura towards Ren Tianxing?
Ren Tianxing was pleasantly unafraid, reaching out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said disdainfully, “Shao Guangjing, after I also advance to the Yuan Dan realm, trash like you, I can fight a nest of them by myself.”
Mo Wuji suddenly realised that this Ren Tianxing had yet to advance to Yuan Dan, while Shao Guangjing was already a Yuan Dan Realm powerhouse. Ren Tianxing hadn’t advanced to Yuan Dan, so he should be at the late stage of the Devoid of Mortal Realm. For a Devoid of Mortality realm cultivator to be able to fight a Yuan Dan realm cultivator like this, it wasn’t a no-no, but it was too remarkable.
“Die for me ……,” The Dragon Bone Claw in Shao Guangjing’s hand brushed out several oozing shadows of light and shot out.
In this instant Mo Wuji understood what was going on, this Shao surnamed wasn’t even killing Ren Tianxing this time, he was trying to kill him first. No wonder he felt a murderous aura, that murderous aura wasn’t towards Ren Tian Xing, but towards him, Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji was glad that he had sensed the killing intent early on, and he was also glad that he had advanced to the Mid Spirit Building stage. Otherwise, it would have been this strike that would have killed him for sure.
Mo Wuji’s body slanted to the side, while catalysing his Yuan Power to swing the Tian Ji Stick. He was well aware of the terrifying nature of the Dragon Bone Claw, and merely avoiding it in the past was simply useless. This was because the Dragon Bone Claw would turn its head again as long as it didn’t kill him. It was better to take the initiative and intercept the claw.
“Dang!” The Tian Ji Stick was smashed out with a trail of sparks, and as the fierce Yuan Power surged, Mo Wuji’s entire body was knocked out, striking the wall of the cave that he had dug out, and a mouthful of blood was sprayed out on the spot.
The Yuan Dan realm was really good and powerful, Mo Wuji didn’t bother to wipe away the blood from the corner of his mouth as the Tian Ji Stick swung up once again, once again blasting at the dragon bone claw that had just turned back.
“Dang!” Yuan power collided, the violent power splashed out in all directions, collapsing half of Mo Wuji’s cave, Mo Wuji’s legs were buried in the earth, and the power of the dragon bone claw was once again partially removed.
Seeing that the Dragon Bone Claw was about to temporarily abandon him and fly back, Mo Wuji instead took the initiative to rush up and swung out another stick, smashing it into the Dragon Bone Claw. Having assassinated him, could he walk away so easily?
Almost at the same time that Shao Guangjing shot out, Ren Tianxing also shot out. When Shao Guangjing saw Ren Tianxing make a move, his heart was a cold laugh, a mere Transcendent Mortal Realm cultivator, also wanted to take advantage from under him. After his Dragon Bone Claw killed the mole on one side, he flew back and also had a gap to blast Ren Tian Xing again.
