Mo Wuji ignored the shock of the crowd as he calmly took out his jade token and walked through the crowd downstairs.
It was only until the moment he walked out of the door that he heard a roar of laughter from behind him. Following which, someone said, "Could it be that he heard people saying that it was awesome to train in the Lightning Tempering Room, so he purposely came to the Lightning Tempering Room to shock everyone?"
"My eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets, haha …"
"Not only could he train in the Lightning Tempering Room, he even trained for over six hours, hehe."
"You don't have to say that. Everyone knows that someone trained in the Lightning Tempering Room for over six hours. Unfortunately, everyone knows that he was just sitting by the side and watching the lightning strike. In the last two hours, he was probably afraid of wasting too many spirit stones, so he simply stopped the lightning strikes. I really want to know how long he lasted in the Lightning Tempering Room like that … "
"If he knew that people outside could see him stop the lightning strikes, he might not be afraid of wasting those spirit stones."
"Don't bother about this person. I'm going in to train now. Mi Yue, wait for me outside …"
…
Mo Wuji did not take these discussions to heart. He could tell from the magnetic voice of the last sentence that it belonged to the handsome youth who gave away the three spirit stones. When he heard that he had already stayed in the Lightning Tempering Room for over six hours, he immediately panicked and rushed to the first floor.
He only had a total of 100 spirit stones. After spending over six hours, how many spirit stones would he be left with?
"I'm checking out of the Cultivation Room …" Mo Wuji nervously passed the jade token to the counter.
The jade token was put away, and not long after, thirty spirit stones were handed out. "Cultivating for six hours, consumed seventy low-grade spirit stones, remaining thirty..."
Indeed, after six hours, Mo Wuji could only keep 30 spirit stones.
Perhaps what he should be worried about now was not the depletion of spirit stones, but the fact that he could only open 36 meridians.
Back at the North Water Inn, Mo Wuji hurriedly took out his drug refining equipment and started to concoct the channel opening solution. He still had a sliver of hope that his channel opening solution was affected by the lightning strikes in the Lightning Tempering Room, causing it to lose its medicinal properties.
In just over half an hour, a bottle of channel opening solution was concocted by him. Mo Wuji did not wait for the medicinal solution to be bottled, and directly poured it all into his mouth. Just like before, there was only a slight burning sensation in his throat, and then the medicinal effect disappeared without a trace. The feeling of a line of fire extending out was gone.
Mo Wuji sighed. It seemed like the channel opening solution would not have any effect on him.
Mo Wuji did not choose to return to the Formless Blade Sect immediately. Instead, he sat in his room and pondered. He did not lack fighting spirit, but he only had mortal roots. Without the meridian opening solution to open the meridians in his meridians, he was nothing. There were too many people smarter than him in this place. If he couldn't cultivate, what else could he do? By relying on that boundless fighting spirit? Or did he rely on his indomitable nature?
In the face of true strength, these things were just a joke. Whether it was fighting spirit or temperament, it was all for the sake of increasing one's strength.
No matter how he thought about it, the only thing he could use to surpass others was the channel opening solution. This was because this medicinal fluid could open up meridians one after another, allowing his potential to rise again and again.
If he wanted to stand up in this place where immortal masters were everywhere, he would need to continue relying on the channel opening solution. This channel opening solution was something that he came up with by chance on Earth. He even used an incomplete formula that he bought at a high price as a reference. Earth was lacking in spiritual energy, and was considered a planet in the decline of cultivation. There were very few spiritual herbs. But now, the place he was at was filled with dense spiritual energy, and spiritual herbs were piled up like mountains.
Could he modify this meridian opening formula and change some of the ordinary herbs into spiritual herbs?
He was after all a Channel Opening Stage Level 4 cultivator, and those ordinary solutions might not be enough to open up the meridians of a Channel Opening Stage Intermediate Stage cultivator.
As he thought of this, Mo Wuji's spirits rose, and he hurriedly wrote down the formula on a piece of paper.
The main ingredients of the channel opening solution were: Longyan Grass, Rainbow Fruit, Chicken Blood Vine, Dark Yellow Ginseng, Thousand Year Pine Vein, Fire Essence Stone, Night Purple, Hundred Year Lingzhi …
Longyan Grass that was less than 10 years old was considered ordinary, while those that were 10 to 100 years old were considered precious. Those that were more than 100 years old were considered Tier 1 spiritual herbs. Previously, he chose Longyan Grass that was less than 10 years old, but for the new formula, he chose those that were more than 100 years old.
The Rainbow Fruit was originally an ordinary herb, and there was no need to change its age.
Thousand Year Pine Vein could be changed to Ten Thousand Year Pine Vein, but Ten Thousand Year Pine Vein was already considered a Tier 3 spiritual herb, and was very hard to obtain. Fire Essence Stones were also divided into good and bad. The best Fire Essence Stones were not mottled at all, and were as red as chicken blood. Previously, he only needed Fire Essence Stones to concoct pills, and he did not care about the quality. For the new formula, he had to choose pure Fire Essence Stones.
For Dark Yellow Ginseng and Lingzhi, he had to choose those that were more than a thousand years old. Only those that were more than a thousand years old could barely be considered spiritual herbs. For the new formula, he had to choose those that were more than a thousand years old. Of course, the older the better.
After spending half a day, Mo Wuji finally managed to revise the formula. He did not change the formula, but he changed most of the ingredients to spiritual herbs of the same grade.
As for the lotus shreds, Mo Wuji decided to use the Treasured Blood Lotus. The Treasured Blood Lotus was a very good spiritual herb, and could definitely replace ordinary lotus shreds.
…
In Fringe City, the most popular place was not the pill house, nor was it the weapon house, but the place where the herbs were traded. In Fringe City, the most popular place to trade herbs was not the merchant house, but a large hall. This place was called the Fringe City Herbs Trading Hall.
Everyone who came to Fringe City would either trade herbs here, or post information about seeking herbs here.
When Mo Wuji arrived at the Herbs Trading Hall, he almost thought that he had returned to Earth. This was simply a stock exchange, or rather, the herbs trading hall on Earth.
Large screens were hung on the four sides of the hall, and these screens were constantly displaying information about herbs. Either it was information about selling, or information about seeking to buy. The crowd in the hall was even denser, and there was a constant stream of people coming in and out, each of them carrying a large bag. The smell of various herbs wafted out, and the entire hall was filled with the smell of herbs.
Other than these large signboards, Mo Wuji also saw many handwritten signboards hanging all over the place. These signboards, without exception, were either seeking to buy a certain type of spiritual herb, or selling a certain type of rare spiritual herb.
The number of spiritual herbs that Mo Wuji wanted was relatively high, but he was not sure of the price. Moreover, there were too many people here, so he simply spent 5 low grade spirit stones to post the spiritual herbs that he needed. At the same time, he left his address at the bottom of the signboard, and returned to the inn to wait for news.
…
5 spirit stones to post a message was not cheap for Mo Wuji, but it was worth it.
In just two hours, several people arrived at the North Water Inn with the spiritual herbs that Mo Wuji needed.
Initially, Mo Wuji only wanted to purchase one or two sets of spiritual herbs, and test them out first. However, on the same day, he received more than 10 requests for spiritual herbs, and there were still people coming to the North Water Inn to trade with him.
Initially, he could still use spirit stones to purchase them, but towards the end, he could only use pills to exchange. Fortunately, the pills that he needed were Tier 1 Mortal Pills, which were much more valuable than spirit stones to cultivators.
Fortunately, his message only lasted for half a day, and on the second day, Mo Wuji finally calmed down. At this point, he had already purchased more than 30 sets of spiritual herbs, and his remaining spirit stones had been used up. Even his pills had been depleted by half.
What made Mo Wuji regretful was that he did not manage to get his hands on the Treasured Blood Lotus.
Originally, Mo Wuji thought that since the Treasured Blood Lotus could be cultivated in the Formless Blade Sect, it would definitely be the easiest to purchase. In reality, he did not receive any Treasured Blood Lotus.
Mo Wuji specially went to a few merchant houses to ask around, and found out that even though the Treasured Blood Lotus was only a Tier 3 spiritual herb, its value was extremely high, and it could not be bought.
Remembering that his residence, the Lotus Sword Summit, was once the place where Elder Guan Li grew the Treasured Blood Lotus, Mo Wuji decided to go back and ask if there were any Treasured Blood Lotus in the Formless Blade Sect.
