...
Fringe City, this name sounded rather desolate, but in reality, it was not as such.
Standing outside of Fringe City, other than the mottled city walls, this place was actually bustling with activity. Numerous beast carriages and flying beasts flowed in an endless stream. Most of the people carried weapons on their backs and exuded a strong aura.
Compared to an ordinary mortal city, there was something indescribable about a cultivator city.
Mo Wuji carried his drug refining equipment and walked through the city gates. According to the information he gathered, other than the Formless Blade Sect, there were more than 10 sects around Fringe City, including the Nine Spirits Sect, Lightning Cloud Sect and Thousand Leaves Alliance.
The Formless Blade Sect was not the strongest amongst these sects, which was why Yan Qianyin warned Mo Wuji not to offend them.
Fringe City had a high flow of people, and there were many inns and restaurants. Mo Wuji quickly found a place to stay, the North Water Inn. According to the waiter, the North Water Inn was very close to the Fringe City Immortal Training Tower.
Even though it was a cultivator city, Mo Wuji found that the facilities at the North Water Inn could not be compared to the Tian Luo Inn. Fortunately, this inn also accepted gold coins, otherwise Mo Wuji would not have stayed here. He only had a total of 100 spirit stones on him, and they were all low grade spirit stones.
Other than his remuneration as a guest pill refiner, these 100 spirit stones were mainly from the Formless Blade Mountain.
What made Mo Wuji slightly satisfied was that this inn had a specialized pill refining room. To the guests, the pill refining room was not necessarily for pill refining, it could be used for pet rearing, smithing or other purposes.
Mo Wuji did not want this specialized pill refining room to concoct pills, but to concoct medicinal essences. He even brought his drug refining equipment with him. Mo Wuji planned to concoct pills at night, and go to the Fringe City Immortal Training Tower to open his meridians during the day. This was the best way to save time.
After placing the items in the inn, Mo Wuji did not immediately go to the Immortal Training Tower. Since Yan Qianyin said that there was a lightning tempering room, then there definitely was. The first thing he did was to buy the ingredients to concoct the channel opening solution. He only had a few bottles of the solution on him, and these few bottles were not enough for him.
...
Fringe City was a cultivation city, and what Mo Wuji wanted to buy were the lowest grade herbs, so he did not have to spend much effort. In just two to three hours, he had already bought all the herbs in the evening. This time, he bought 30 sets.
Concocting the channel opening solution was a common occurrence for Mo Wuji. Concocting this solution did not require the support of one's cultivation level, but now that he was at Channel Opening Stage Level 4, his stamina was much better than before. In just one night, he had refined around 15 bottles. In addition to his original seven bottles, he now had a total of 22 bottles of channel opening solution.
At daybreak, Mo Wuji stopped concocting pills and sat down to cultivate for two hours. Mo Wuji did not sleep for the entire night, and only cultivated for two hours, but he was still full of energy.
After a simple breakfast, Mo Wuji brought his 22 bottles of channel opening solution towards the Fringe City Cultivation Tower.
Now that he had such an opportunity, Mo Wuji decided to open as many meridians as he could before going back to slowly cultivate.
To a cultivator, opening the meridians and spirit channels was only a matter of the Channel Opening Stage. Once they advanced to the Spirit Building Stage, the spirit channels in their bodies were basically fixed and could no longer be opened. Unless they destroyed their cultivation level and tried again. Even an idiot would not do such a thing.
…
From Mo Wuji's perspective, Fringe City was a cultivation city, and Fringe City Immortal Training Tower was the most famous place in Fringe City. The plaza of the Cultivation Tower would definitely be huge.
At the very least, it would be much grander than Xing He's Imperial Capital Plaza. When Mo Wuji arrived outside the Immortal Training Tower, he realised that the Immortal Training Tower's plaza was not as big as Xing He's Imperial Capital Plaza. The only thing that shocked him was the five huge golden words floating outside the plaza: Fringe City Immortal Training Tower.
Because the plaza was small, and there were many people coming and going, it was extremely lively. In the middle of the plaza, there was a tower that was close to 40 to 50 meters tall. Because of its wide body, the tower looked a little bloated.
Mo Wuji was used to seeing tall buildings on Earth, so a 40 to 50 meter tall tower was really nothing to him.
As he neared the edge of the tower, Mo Wuji saw a huge signboard hanging at the entrance of the tower. The signboard listed the prices of the various cultivation rooms in detail. Not only did Mo Wuji see the Five Elemental Cultivation Room, he also saw the Sword Tempering Room, Gravity Room, Floating Room …
It didn't matter if he thought of them or not, this one seemed to have them all. When Mo Wuji saw the prices of the cultivation rooms, his initial excitement was reduced by half. The cheapest cultivation room in this place cost more than ten spirit stones a day. The more expensive ones even cost more than 100 spirit stones. Especially the Sword Tempering Room, it cost 300 low-grade spirit stones a day.
Mo Wuji quickly scanned through the cultivation rooms, and soon found the Lightning Tempering Room.
When Mo Wuji saw the price of the Lightning Tempering Room, he took in a breath of cold air. This was not calculated by days, but by hours. Every two hours cost 20 low-grade spirit stones. In other words, the spirit stones he had on him were only enough for him to cultivate in the Lightning Tempering Room for 10 hours.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Mo Wuji walked into the Immortal Training Tower.
If he was alone, he would definitely continue to take the risk to look for the Six-footed Lightning Crocodiles. But now that he had Yan 'Er with him, firstly, he did not have the time to look for the lightning crocodiles, and secondly, he did not want to take the risk when he had a choice. Spirit stones could be earned, and he was now a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner, and he even had a batch of pills with him, which could be used to exchange for spirit stones.
"I want to go to the Lightning Tempering Room to cultivate for two hours …" Mo Wuji carefully took out 20 spirit stones and placed them in front of the window.
He remembered an article that he had once learnt, and there was a sentence in it, "Warm two bowls of wine, and a plate of fennel beans."
Mo Wuji suddenly understood Kong Yiji's feelings at that time. Just like Old Kong's nine coins, the 20 spirit stones that Kong Yiji gave him were very precious to him.
"Deposit 100 spirit stones for the Lightning Tempering Room. The amount of spirit stones will be calculated according to the length of time you spend in the room. Any excess will be returned to you," A machine-like voice said from behind the window.
Deposit?
Seeing Mo Wuji in a daze, a man at the side said, "Brother, is this your first time here? Everything here requires a deposit. You can apply for a jade token, and deposit a certain amount of spirit stones in it. In the future, you will only need to use the jade token when you cultivate. "
Mo Wuji hurriedly thanked him, and took out all 100 spirit stones from his bag. Luckily, he had 100 spirit stones left, or he would have to go back the way he came.
After paying the 100 spirit stones, the person at the window quickly handed Mo Wuji a jade token, and at the same time, a cold voice said, "Insert the jade token into the groove at the door. When you come out, bring the jade token back to exchange for spirit stones, or pay up the spirit stones."
"Friend, can you lend me three spirit stones? I only have 97 spirit stones on me, and that's not enough for the deposit. Don't worry, I will only be cultivating for two hours. After I come out to collect the deposit, I will wait here for you to return your spirit stones. " A slightly immature voice sounded in Mo Wuji's ear. Mo Wuji turned around to see a 13 or 14 year old youth with delicate features looking at him expectantly.
Clearly, this youth saw him handing over the spirit stones just now, and felt that he had spirit stones on him.
Based on Mo Wuji's experience, this youth should really be lacking three spirit stones, because his eyes were filled with desire. If he had spirit stones on him, Mo Wuji would not mind lending him three spirit stones. Unfortunately, Mo Wuji really did not have any spirit stones on him. He said apologetically to the youth, "I'm really sorry, I only have 100 spirit stones on me."
After saying this, Mo Wuji immediately saw a few disdainful gazes.
The youth's eyes revealed a disappointed expression, evidently he also thought that Mo Wuji was rejecting him. He turned his longing gaze to the surroundings, but no one said anything.
"I'll help you pay these three spirit stones." A slightly magnetic voice sounded, and three spirit stones were sent into the youth's hands.
This was a young man, and even Mo Wuji could not help but praise this man's good looks. Not only was he handsome, his voice was also magnetic. Even without looking at his face, just looking at his pair of slender white palms would cause countless women to secretly admire him. If he was on Earth, he would be another fella who could rely on his face to make a living.
Beside this handsome man, there was a beautiful woman. The woman's gaze swept across Mo Wuji, and there was a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Mo Wuji shook his head, he did not care about this matter. He looked at the jade token in his hand, and on it was written: Lightning Tempering Room 1.
