The Lightning Tempering Room was on the ninth level of the Fringe City Immortal Training Tower. The first room that Mo Wuji saw on the ninth level was the Lightning Tempering Room.
There was indeed a groove for a jade token outside the room. Mo Wuji casually inserted the jade token into the groove and the heavy stone door of the room opened automatically.
After Mo Wuji entered the stone door, it closed automatically.
Mo Wuji took a quick look around. This stone room was at least 200 square meters in size, and its height was about 10 meters. There was nothing in the stone room except for the three handles at the entrance. The first one had the words "Start Tempering", the second one had the words "Stop Tempering" and the last one had the words "Open Door".
Other than that, there were no handles to differentiate the lightning source.
Even though Mo Wuji had never gone through the Lightning Tempering Room before, it was not his first time using lightning to temper his meridians. After consuming a bottle of channel opening solution, Mo Wuji directly pulled down the first handle to start tempering.
Rumbling sounds could be heard from all around the room, and after about 10 breaths of time, lightning bolts of different thicknesses fell. Even though the Lightning Tempering Room was huge, Mo Wuji noticed that these lightning bolts only fell within a 3 meter radius of the room. There were no lightning bolts falling anywhere else.
The intensity of these lightning bolts should not be any weaker than the lightning bolts he encountered in the lightning lake, as they struck the 3 meter radius of the room.
Without hesitation, Mo Wuji took a step into the middle of the room where the lightning bolts were attacking. Hesitating here was a waste. Every minute of hesitation was a waste of spirit stones.
"Pa pa …" The lightning bolts landed on Mo Wuji's body, and waves of hot energy were guided into his meridians.
Only now did Mo Wuji realise the difference between the lightning bolts in the Lightning Tempering Room and the Six-footed Lightning Crocodiles. The intensity of the lightning bolts here was fixed, and to him, it was more suitable for him to temper his meridians.
Sure enough, it was good to be rich. It was the same even in the Cultivation World.
The Immortal Mortal Technique only took one big circulation to open Mo Wuji's 28th meridian.
Unfortunately, he did not have spirit stones. If he did, Mo Wuji would definitely use this opportunity to cultivate. To temper his meridians while cultivating at the same time, he did not know what kind of experience it would be.
Lightning bolts continued to fall, and Mo Wuji continued to consume the channel opening solution. The only benefit of tempering one's meridians in the Lightning Tempering Room was that one didn't have to worry about their life. As long as one couldn't take it anymore, one could avoid the center of the lightning strike and rest by the side.
Mo Wuji and the lightning crocodiles did not receive such treatment when they were tempering in the lightning lake. Using the lightning crocodiles to temper his meridians required the help of others. Even so, a moment of carelessness could result in the death of the lightning crocodiles. It was even more dangerous in the Lightning Lake. No one knew when a lightning bolt that was far more powerful than a normal lightning bolt would descend. A single bolt of such strong lightning could easily kill a weakling like Mo Wuji who had just started cultivating.
Within the Lightning Tempering Room, Mo Wuji's entire body was covered in cuts and bruises from the lightning strikes. This was even after he saw the opportunity to throw his tattered clothes out of the lightning zone. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have any clothes to wear when he went out. Who told him not to bring a set of clothes with him?
The smell of his skin being burnt by lightning filled the entire Lightning Tempering Room. Mo Wuji could not help but spasm every time a lightning strike landed.
Even so, Mo Wuji didn't choose to leave the lightning zone to rest. One of the reasons was naturally because he didn't want to waste the lightning strikes while he was resting. These were all bought with spirit stones. More importantly, Mo Wuji was very clear that even though the Lightning Tempering Room was safe and stable, it lacked the pressure of life and death.
Yan Qianyin was right about one thing, which was that those who didn't experience life and death would find it hard to become strong. Mo Wuji persevered under the lightning strikes because he wanted to test his limits. As long as he wasn't at the edge of life and death, he wouldn't easily leave to rest.
Perseverance was sometimes more important than talent. The reason why Mo Wuji could be where he was today was probably due to his talent. However, in Mo Wuji's heart, perseverance was the most important thing.
33rd meridian, 34th meridian …
Mo Wuji consumed the 13th bottle of channel opening solution and guided the four lightning bolts into his 36th meridian.
"Boom!" After the four lightning bolts completely opened his 36th meridian, Mo Wuji felt his entire body relax. Even though he was already charred black and his body was full of scars and wounds from the lightning bolts, he still felt as though he had ascended to a higher level after opening his 36th meridian.
This feeling was similar to when he advanced from Channel Opening Stage Level 3 to Channel Opening Stage Level 4. No, it was even more pleasurable and satisfying than when he advanced to Channel Opening Stage Level 4.
Mo Wuji originally planned to take a short break after opening his 36th meridian, but after opening his 36th meridian, he changed his mind. At this moment, he felt extremely good, even better than before he entered the Lightning Tempering Room. He decided to finish his channel opening solution before leaving.
After swallowing the 14th bottle of channel opening solution, Mo Wuji suddenly felt a tinge of unease. This was because after drinking this bottle of channel opening solution, he didn't feel the burning sensation from before. Other than a slight burning sensation in his throat, there was no other reaction.
Without any other reaction, he wouldn't be able to use the lightning to refine his meridians and open his meridians.
Numerous lightning bolts descended, and Mo Wuji could only allow them to land on his body. Other than some physical injuries, he didn't gain anything else.
A bad feeling welled up in his heart, and Mo Wuji consecutively drank five bottles of channel opening solution. There was no difference from drinking the previous bottle. Other than a slight burning sensation in his throat, there was no other reaction from his meridians.
The lightning bolts continued to descend, and Mo Wuji forcefully circulated the Immortal Mortal Technique, guiding the lightning bolts to strike one of the possible meridians.
"Pui!" Just as the lightning source was guided down, Mo Wuji spat out a mouthful of blood. Following which, his entire body was paralyzed and twitching on the ground.
The lightning bolts were about to descend again, and Mo Wuji struggled to crawl out of the center of the room.
The bone-piercing pain assaulted him again, and Mo Wuji spat out a few more mouthfuls of blood. Fortunately, he had already crawled out of the center of the lightning bolts, or else he would never be able to crawl out in this lifetime.
The pain and damage caused by forcefully guiding the lightning bolts to strike his meridians made it impossible for Mo Wuji to stand up. He lay on the ground, unable to move. Even though the lightning bolts continued to descend, and his spirit stones continued to be depleted, he did not have the strength to pull the handle to stop the tempering process.
After lying on the ground for over an hour, Mo Wuji finally regained some strength. He crawled to the side, retrieved some healing pills from his bag, and swallowed a few of them.
After swallowing the healing pills, and resting for over half an hour, Mo Wuji finally managed to stand up. He staggered to the door, pulled the handle to stop the tempering process, and sat down on the ground.
Wasting spirit stones was secondary. What he was thinking about now was why his channel opening solution lost its effect. Could it be that he was only born with 36 meridians?
He had long known that a true genius could open 99 spirit channels. Even though Mo Wuji did not know the difference between meridians and spirit channels, he knew that there was not much difference between opening 36 meridians and 36 spirit channels. In the cultivation world, as long as one had spiritual roots and could cultivate, opening up 36 spirit channels was considered to be the most ordinary of talents.
As long as one was a cultivator, they would at least be able to open 36 spirit channels and above.
Mo Wuji's heart was filled with a strong sense of unwillingness. If he really only had the potential to open 36 meridians, then he would not even be able to cultivate to the advanced Channel Opening Stage, much less pursue a higher stage.
After an unknown period of time, the Lightning Tempering Room's alarm sounded. This meant that Mo Wuji had not started cultivating in the Lightning Tempering Room for a long time. If he did not start cultivating, then he would have to leave the Lightning Tempering Room.
At this moment, Mo Wuji finally awoke from his extreme disappointment. He shuddered, and his heart was filled with lingering fear. Initially, when he could not cultivate, he was not disappointed or sad, but worked hard to find a way to cultivate.
Now that he could cultivate, and was already a Channel Opening Stage Level 4 cultivator, he was actually disappointed by only having 36 opened meridians. This was not his character. He once said, so what if he had mortal roots? He would not give up. Moreover, he still had mortal roots.
He had to find a new way to open meridians. If he really could not, then he would follow his original plan, and choose to cultivate like Yuan Zhenyi.
As he thought of this, Mo Wuji's spirits rose, and his confidence returned.
So what if he had mortal roots? So what if he had 36 meridians? I will not give up, I will never give up.
Even if he really grew old in the end, it did not matter. To be able to survive here, he had already gained something. Since that was the case, what was there for him to worry about? What was there for him to worry about?
Mo Wuji regained his composure, got up, put on his tattered clothes, picked up his bag, and opened the Lightning Tempering Room's stone door.
There were seven to eight people standing outside the Lightning Tempering Room. Among them, there was a man and a woman in the middle. Mo Wuji recognised the man. He was the handsome youth who gave the three spirit stones to the youth. That pretty woman had been following him all this time.
The people outside the Lightning Tempering Room were shocked by Mo Wuji's appearance. Mo Wuji's entire body was charred black, and his hair looked like it was on fire. There was even smoke coming out of his body. The corner of his mouth and chest were stained with the black ash from the lightning strike. He looked like he had crawled out from a pile of corpses.
The only thing that didn't match his appearance was his eyes. His eyes were calm, as if the whole world had exploded, and he was still as calm as ever.
