Dripping wet, Mo Wuji climbed out of the pool and realised that more than half of the lotuses were gone. The ones that were missing had already been stuffed into his storage bag.
Hurry up and leave, this is not a place to stay for long.
Mo Wuji ran like a madman, as though he had been running ever since he entered the Five Elements Desolate Domain. This time, he ran for a full three days and three nights before stopping. It was not that he did not want to run anymore, but he could not run anymore. In these few days, he had swallowed countless elemental energy recovery pills.
After taking a few deep breaths and swallowing an Inedia Pill, Mo Wuji started to look at his surroundings.
In front of him was a stretch of uneven hills. He did not know how far these hills extended, but they seemed to be endless. On his left was the Gobi Desert, on which there were some broken stone carvings and some crooked columns. On the right was a swamp. Apart from the occasional bubbles appearing in the middle of the swamp, there were no other creatures.
Mo Wuji noticed that on his left, there were some abandoned buildings. These buildings had been around for tens of thousands of years, and only the silhouettes of the sand and stones could be seen.
Mo Wuji walked into the Gobi Desert, found a place with a wider view, and simply dug a big hole to hide in. It was only after he entered that he realized how sorry he was. He had been running for three days and three nights without stopping, and he had also struggled with the mud in the pool for a while. Now, his body was covered in dust and mud residue.
Even though he was at Channel Opening Stage Level 8, Mo Wuji did not know any spells. He could only use some water to wipe himself down and change into a new set of clothes.
However, Mo Wuji did not care about this. He immediately took out the six lotus roots from his storage bag.
These lotus flowers were forcefully plucked and thrown into his storage bag, and the lotus flowers were still on top.
The fragrance of the lotus flowers made Mo Wuji feel that his hard work over the past few days was not in vain. He carefully plucked the six lotus flowers and stored them in six jade boxes, then packed the lotus stems and leaves neatly. Even though Mo Wuji did not know what these lotus flowers were, he could guess that they were not simple. Otherwise, just the smell would not make him feel so refreshed.
What caught Mo Wuji's attention the most was the lotus. He did not know the grade of the lotus, but since it was guarded by a demonic beast, it would be weird if it was simple.
The first lotus was washed clean by Mo Wuji, revealing a purple lotus body. Mo Wuji gently peeled off the lotus node, and a refreshing fragrance assailed his nostrils. Mo Wuji was elated to see five to six strands of lotus roots. These lotus roots were incomparably clear, but different from the Treasured Blood Lotus, these lotus roots were green in colour, sparkling and translucent like the best green jade. At the same time, it seemed to have a life of its own, emitting a dense vitality.
Ordinary lotus roots were thin and easy to break. It was not easy to pull one out. The silk of the Treasured Blood Lotus had already taken shape. Its shape and color were very obvious. Not only was the shape of this lotus root clear, but it also smelled fragrant.
This was indeed not a simple item. Mo Wuji placed a few lotus roots into a jade box, then placed the lotus in his mouth and took a bite.
A stream of vitality that was both cold and fiery rushed into his throat. That vitality seemed to make his entire body function reach its peak at this moment.
Mo Wuji hurriedly took out a few Earth grade spirit stones and held them in his hands as he started to circulate his spiritual energy. In just half an incense's time, Mo Wuji could clearly feel that his cultivation level was continuously increasing.
He had just broken through to Channel Opening Stage Level 8 not too long ago, and now he was on the verge of breaking through to Channel Opening Stage Level 9.
The few Earth grade spirit stones quickly turned into dust, and Mo Wuji took out a few more spirit stones. Time flew by as he cultivated. Mo Wuji did not even know how much spiritual energy he had absorbed. At this moment, the elemental energy within his body was agitated, almost bursting out of his dantian. However, his cultivation level did not continue to rise. It was like a bottle of water that was filled to the brim, and could no longer contain any more.
Mo Wuji exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and stopped cultivating.
He was all too familiar with this situation. He had reached another bottleneck, and if he wanted to continue advancing, he would need to find a place with lightning bolts to open his meridians.
Mo Wuji sighed. If he wanted to make use of the rich cultivation resources here to advance to Spirit Building Stage, he would need to find a place with lightning sources to open his meridians.
"Dong Lun, I've already given this place to you. Must you be so ruthless?" A sorrowful voice could be heard, causing Mo Wuji, who was about to come out, to stop in his tracks. He used his strength to crush a stone in his hand.
If there was a name like Xia Ruoyin, which Mo Wuji would never forget even in death, it would be Dong Lun.
After hearing this name, Mo Wuji's hands could not help but tremble. Not only his hands, even his entire body was trembling. That was an extreme anger. At this moment, he could not wait to rush out and swallow this Dong Lun fella whole.
After a while, Mo Wuji forced himself to calm down. He was not sure if this Dong Lun was the young castellan of the Supreme Sword City that Ding Bu'Er mentioned.
"Only the dead are the most reliable." An emotionless voice could be heard.
Mo Wuji carefully peeked out from his hiding spot, and saw two men standing opposite each other. One of them was wearing a grey robe, and his entire body was exuding a strong and vigorous aura. The other man's robe was cut into pieces, and blood stained it. On his chest, there seemed to be a bloody hole.
However, due to the distance, Mo Wuji did not dare to break out of his hiding spot, so he could not see the man's face clearly.
"The Supreme Sword City is after all a big sect, and your father, the Luo Hua City Lord, is a reputable senior …" Even though the heavily injured man was on guard against the grey robed man, he did not stop trying to persuade him.
The grey robed man did not even wait for the man to finish speaking, and crossed his hands, shooting out tens of light beams. These tens of light beams directly enveloped the man who was speaking.
Under these tens of dazzling light beams, Mo Wuji was unable to see the injured man's situation.
From the looks of it, this man was indeed the young castellan of the Supreme Sword City, Dong Lun.
Mo Wuji secretly took out his Tian Ji Pole from his storage bag, and at the same time, took in a deep breath. From Dong Lun's actions, he could tell that the difference between him and Dong Lun was not small. But now that his enemy was right in front of him, he would definitely not be willing to give up on his revenge for killing Yan 'Er.
"Boom boom boom …" In the distance, the two of them were completely locked in battle. Mo Wuji could only see a patch of white, and was completely unable to see the entire process of the battle.
Mo Wuji helplessly clenched his fists. If his cultivation level was slightly higher, he would definitely rush out and join forces with the other man to deal with Dong Lun. But with his current cultivation level, he would definitely be courting death. Even if he joined forces to kill Dong Lun, he would not be able to live.
The other fella would definitely silence him, and not let him know who killed Dong Lun.
Something's not right, Mo Wuji soon realised that there was something wrong with the battle. As the two of them fought, they moved towards his direction.
Mo Wuji instantly understood that even though he was hiding in a corner, he was still detected by the two of them. It should be because he was too agitated after hearing Dong Lun's name.
Indeed, just as Mo Wuji thought of this, the man who was being chased by Dong Lun panted and shouted, "Friend, if I am killed by Dong Lun, do you think you can survive alone? Dong Lun is already at Transcending Mortality Level 1. After he kills me, he will definitely come to kill you. Why don't you come out and join forces with me to deal with this fella. "
What a vicious fella. Mo Wuji's heart was filled with hatred, but he did not respond. Instead, he carefully held the Tier 5 Ice Burst Talisman in his hand. A Tier 5 Ice Burst Talisman could even defend against a True Lake Stage cultivator, so it shouldn't be a problem against a Transcending Mortality Level 1 Dong Lun.
What Mo Wuji was most worried about was how to prevent Dong Lun from dodging his Ice Burst Talisman.
"Idiot, even I am not a match for this Dong Lun. Why aren't you coming out … Ah …" The man who was being chased by Dong Lun was still fuming. Seeing that Mo Wuji was still hiding, a beam of light had already pierced through his heart.
Mo Wuji stood out and said in a terrified tone, "Two seniors, I am only at Channel Opening Stage. This has nothing to do with me, I don't know anything …"
The reason why he stood out was because Mo Wuji wanted to let the two of them know that his cultivation level was low, and that there was no need for them to worry about him. If Dong Lun kept his guard up against him, he would not stand a chance at all.
"Dong Lun, even if I die, I won't let you off …" This man was heavily injured, and he suddenly realised that Mo Wuji was not a fella who could help him, so he knew that he was definitely going to die. Even if he died, he would not let Dong Lun off. After finishing his sentence, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
This blood arrow pierced towards Dong Lun's throat. Even though Mo Wuji was standing far away, he could smell an extremely fishy smell from this blood arrow.
Dong Lun's face changed; he clearly knew how powerful this blood arrow was. He did not even dare to touch this blood arrow, and his entire body fell to the side. At almost the same time, another red light was shot out by the heavily injured man, and the direction it shot towards was the direction where Dong Lun was dodging the blood arrow.
"Pff …" The red light flashed, and Dong Lun staggered tens of steps back, just in time to charge towards Mo Wuji.
Originally, Mo Wuji intended to use the opportunity of contributing the lotus to activate the Ice Burst Talisman. Mo Wuji did not dare to use this decision. For a vicious fella like Dong Lun, he might not even wait for him to speak, and would directly kill him.
Mo Wuji was sure that if he were to face an expert at Transcending Mortality Stage Level 1, he would not even have the slightest bit of resistance. Now that Dong Lun was staggering towards him, it was clear that he had suffered a backlash before his death. At this moment, Mo Wuji did not hesitate; he infused his spiritual will and elemental energy into the Ice Burst Talisman.
In the shortest time possible, the Ice Burst Talisman transformed into a dazzling white light, and swept towards the staggering Dong Lun. Mo Wuji was elated; he had stood up to show that he was weak, and this move had succeeded. Since Dong Lun dared to retreat to his side, it meant that he did not place Mo Wuji in his eyes.
I'm afraid that you won't come. After drawing out the Ice Burst Talisman, Mo Wuji raised his Tian Ji Pole wildly, and smashed it down towards the white light of the Ice Burst Talisman.
