Mo Wuji hurriedly collected the rings of the two of them and followed Lou Si to vanish.
Lou Si’s speed was extremely fast, after half a day, she led Mo Wuji into a bustling neighbourhood market. Outside the workshop market, there were a few big words hanging, Heaven’s Beyond Heaven Walking Corridor Workshop Market.
Before entering the workshop city, Lou Si took out a black scarf to cover her features, it looked like she knew that she looked a bit of a scourge.
Mo Wuji looked at the people coming and going in the workshop market, and was surprised to find that there were Demon Race, Human Race, Devil Race as well as some other races that he didn’t recognise either.
Before he could ask Lou Si, two cultivators who were originally arguing suddenly came to blows. The people around them stepped aside, and soon that human race cultivator was blasted to death. The other demon race cultivator grabbed the human race cultivator’s ring and quickly vanished from the area.
The entire process didn’t have anyone standing out to speak, nor did anyone care.
“Lou Si, didn’t you say that I couldn’t come to the Corridor Beyond the Heavens? What do you mean by bringing me here? How come this place is a marketplace with all sorts of people?”Mo Wuji asked somewhat warily.
Lou Si didn’t care as she walked into the workshop market and lowered her voice, “What I said was that you can’t go to the Human Race area or the Demon Race area, this is the Heaven’s Beyond Heaven Walking Corridor Workshop Market, so at any time of the day, no matter what race, you can come. Everyone comes here for one purpose only, and that is to trade. You just saw two people having a huge fight, right? That’s because the deal wasn’t agreed upon.”
“You can still kill people at will if you can’t reach a consensus on a deal here?”Mo Wuji sweated profusely.
Lou Si sneered and said, “This is a place where the weak are the strong and the strong are honoured. However, cases of killing people like today are rare, most people would vanish if they couldn’t beat them. Even if it happens to kill an opponent, it happens between foreign races.”
“Then if that’s the case, who would still dare to come and trade here?”Mo Wuji was even more puzzled.
Lou Si said calmly, “Doing business in the Heaven’s Beyond Heaven’s Workshop Market, that has a reputation, for example, if you forcefully buy or sell in the Workshop Market, as long as you do so more than three times, you won’t be allowed to enter the Workshop Market. There is also a workshop market monitoring screen there, and on it are people who have had a history of forcefully buying and selling here. A lot of people trade and will look at your credibility. Normally, people would go to fixed stalls or merchant buildings to trade, and those who casually traded by the roadside like just now would be the most prone to problems.
Once something goes wrong, those who survived or those who stayed should go to the workshop trading management office to explain clearly what the problem is. Once they don’t explain, the one who fled like that demonic cultivator just now will basically never enter the workshop market again, and he won’t be allowed to come in either.”
Instead, Mo Wuji sighed in relief and said, “Since I can’t go to the human realm nor the demon realm, it’s always okay for me to stay here, right?”
Lou Si said indifferently, “It’s useless, this is a workshop market, stay here for more than three days and you will be invited out. Unless you have a fixed industry here, that is to say you have a fixed merchant building or a fixed stall here. Fixed merchant buildings or stalls here are simply not affordable for the average person to purchase, and even if they were, they would not be able to keep them. You might say three days later, you come back in. Are you just going to come in and out like this? Without cultivating? If you don’t cultivate, the Heaven’s Beyond Corridor wouldn’t be as famous.”
“What do you mean by that last sentence?”Mo Wuji asked in confusion.
Lou Si explained, “The reason why the Heaven’s Beyond Heaven Corridor is famous is that it can be rich in something called Green Crystal Fragments. This kind of thing contains powerful Heavenly Dao dao rhythms, and if one uses this kind of thing to cultivate, the effects are much more beneficial than the topmost immortal crystals. That’s why staying in the Heavenly Corridor, as long as one is able to survive, one’s cultivation will rub off on them.”
Mo Wuji was about to ask what a green crystal was when he saw a man and a stall owner trading, and the thing that the man took out to trade was actually a Hundred Complex Leafless Fruit.
The Bai Luo Leafless Fruit which was a Grade 8 Immortal Spirit Fruit, or a scarce Grade 8 Immortal Spirit Fruit. In the Immortal Realm, this kind of Immortal Spirit Fruit was usually found in auctions, and now it casually appeared on a street stall.
Mo Wuji stopped, he heard that the man who possessed the Hundred Lore Leafless Fruit wanted to trade an Immortal Jin Dan. The Xianjin Dan, which he had, was a healing elixir that was much less effective than the Green Bodhi Dan that he had just given to Lou Si. This was only a fifth grade healing elixir, not to mention one, even if it was a bottle, it couldn’t be exchanged for a Hundred Lobeless Fruit.
The Hundred Lore Leafless Fruit was a rare Grade 8 Immortal Spirit Fruit that could refine the Immortal Lore Nirvana Pill. In the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Complex Nirvana Pill could even be said to be the best pill for repairing spirit complexes. The value was not at all comparable to a fifth grade Immortal Pill Immortal Jin Dan.
“At most, I’ll give you two Pure Silence Pills, which is still a bit short of exchanging for the Immortal Zin Pill.”The owner of that stall said somewhat indifferently.
Mo Wuji almost sprayed out, a Grade 8 Immortal Spiritual Grass, Hundred Lobeless Fruit, and someone actually said that they could only exchange it for two Grade 4 Healing Immortal Dan Pure Silence Dan at the most. If someone dared to say that to his face, he would have kicked them out.
What made Mo Wuji puzzled was that the guy who possessed the Hundred Complex Leafless Fruit was actually still considering it, it seemed like two Pure Silence Dan was not out of the question.
“Wait ……,” Mo Wuji was immediately about to step forward and speak, he had the Immortal Jin Dan on him. Since that stall owner wasn’t exchanging it, he could exchange one Immortal Zin Dan for the Hundred Lobeliness Fruit, this kind of one-book thing, only a fool wouldn’t do it.
“Hurry up.”Without waiting for Mo Wuji to go over and trade, Lou Si pulled Mo Wuji to quickly leave.
Although Mo Wuji was a little puzzled, he did not say anything more. Lou Si had been here longer than him, and knew all sorts of situations better than him.
Only after waiting for an unoccupied corner did Lou Si ask in a low voice, “Are you trying to trade that Hundred Lobeless Fruit of his?”
“Yes, why?”Mo Wuji asked suspiciously.
Lou Si sighed and said, “If you really called that person out to trade, you’re dead. Firstly you have offended that stall owner, there are not many simple ones who can set up a stall here. Secondly others know that you have the Immortal Jin Dan on you, with your strength, I’m afraid that there are a whole lot of people here who would rather not come to the workshop market, but also want to snatch what you have on you. There is also that Green Bodhi Dan that you gave me before, that is worth a lot of money, there are not many of them in the entire corridor of the Heavenly Beyond. So you mustn’t leak it out, once you do, you’re just as good as dead.”
“What do you mean?”Mo Wuji felt more and more that there was something strange about the Heaven’s Beyond Heaven Corridor.
Lou Si explained, “There is no shortage of green crystals, all kinds of rare ores, and all kinds of rare immortal spirit herbs here, what’s in short supply is weapon refiners and alchemists. Coupled with the fact that there is a great war here almost every once in a while, all kinds of healing pills and magic treasures are the most scarce. Slightly famous alchemists will somehow disappear.”
“Where did those top rare ores and immortal spirit herbs come from?”Mo Wuji hurriedly enquired.
“From the Cosmic Wall.”Lou Si replied calmly, and continued without waiting for Mo Wuji to ask again, “The Cosmic Wall is above the void of that battlefield you saw before, and every two to three years, an endless passageway would appear above that void battlefield. The channel doesn’t know what it is, only that at the end of the channel rolls in endless broken green crystals, as well as all sorts of top-tier Immortal Spirit Herbs, high-level weapon refining materials, and even top-tier magic treasures and so on.”
“Those top tier immortal spirit grasses and various materials that you mentioned, they came from that cosmic wall?”Mo Wuji asked in astonishment.
“That’s right.”Lou Si nodded, “Every time the universe wall opens, the stone walls inside are attached with countless top-tier immortal spirit herbs and crushed green crystals along the side. Whenever this time comes, no matter what race of cultivators, they would rush inside that universe wall and grab these immortal spirit herbs as well as all sorts of treasures.”
Mo Wuji fell silent for a while before asking, “Then if one passes through this cosmic wall passageway, is there anyone who knows where it is?”
“No one can go through it, we only know that after a certain amount of time, this passageway will be closed. All those who are inside will be swept out and left in the Gobi Wasteland Battlefield. That Gobi Wasteland Battlefield came to be the same way, and every time the Cosmic Wall ended, a crazy battle would break out. Both sides grabbed what they had harvested in the Cosmic Wall ……”
Mo Wuji interrupted Lou Si once again and asked, “The great battle I saw before, and you being injured, was it because of the emergence of the Cosmic Wall, after everyone grabbed the Immortal Spirit Grass and other treasures?”
“No.”Lou Si shook her head, “Because the universe wall sometimes appears once a year, sometimes once every two or three years. Later on, when there was no cosmic wall appearing, both sides would also start big wars in order to grab resources from each other. What you saw before, that was a great war caused to grab resources.”
Seeing that Mo Wuji didn’t seem to understand very well, Lou Si explained further, “After the opening of the Universe Wall, no matter who you are, no matter how much you snatch in the Universe Wall, as long as you leave the battlefield alive, that thing belongs to you. However, you need to pay a small portion to the area you live in as a fee only. Every war was a time for both sides to loot each other. The spoils of war needed to be divided up to give a portion to their respective regions. In fact, many of the immortal spirit herbs and ores are very precious, in fact, in the Heaven’s Beyond Corridor, what is truly precious is the green crystals.”
Mo Wuji understood this time, to put it bluntly, this kind of great battle was a kind of battle of attrition initiated by the upper echelons when their cultivation resources were insufficient.
The second time he heard about the green crystals, Mo Wuji suddenly remembered the driving crystals used by the Great Desolate. Wasn’t that also a green-coloured crystal? Could that be the green crystal? Thinking of this, Mo Wuji hurriedly grabbed out a ring, and his divine thoughts directly tore through the restriction and swept inside.
When a light green coloured crystal appeared in Mo Wuji’s divine thoughts, Mo Wuji’s heart was ecstatic. This was exactly the kind of crystals that he needed, this kind of thing was not only the crystals used by the Great Desolate, it was likewise extremely beneficial to his cultivation. Don’t look at the fact that he couldn’t even cultivate fast enough with Immortal Crystals in the Immortal Realm, if he had this kind of crystal, he was certain that he would be able to cross over to the Immortal King level at the fastest speed possible.
The Outer Heaven Corridor, it was really a good place. Mo Wuji felt good about this place for the first time since he came here.
