Tens of lightning bolts exploded on Mo Wuji's body. Other than one lightning bolt that landed on Mo Wuji's arm, the rest of the lightning bolts charred Mo Wuji's clothes.
Other than feeling some pain on his arm, the lightning bolts that landed on his body did not affect him at all.
The Heaven Crow Natural Silk Armour was indeed a good item. Mo Wuji was elated. Even without the Heaven Crow Natural Silk Armour, the lightning bolts would not affect him at all. With the Heaven Crow Natural Silk Armour, he would suffer less pain.
When the Lightning Leopard saw that its lightning balls had no effect on Mo Wuji, how could it not know that Mo Wuji was much stronger than it? A demonic beast that could cultivate to level 2 naturally had some intelligence. The Lightning Leopard turned and ran, not continuing to attack.
The Lightning Leopard's attack power was not the strongest, but its greatest survival ability was its speed.
Mo Wuji had long been waiting for the Lightning Leopard to escape. Now that the Lightning Leopard left, he immediately chased after it. He did not want to deal with the Lightning Leopard, but to find the lightning lake where the Lightning Leopard lived. As for the ice mountain, Mo Wuji had long forgotten about it.
Even if the ice mountain had the Flower of the True Gods, he would find the lightning lake first.
As he chased after the Lightning Leopard, Mo Wuji realised how wrong his thinking was. The Lightning Leopard was much faster than him. In less than half an incense's time, he could only see the Lightning Leopard's shadow. After a while, the Lightning Leopard's shadow disappeared.
Mo Wuji stopped helplessly. He had miscalculated.
"Ka ka! Peng! "A series of explosions and muffled sounds could be heard. Mo Wuji was overjoyed. The Lightning Leopard disappeared, but he saw the lightning lake.
The Lightning Leopard disappeared into the distant Lightning Lake. Lightning bolts continued to shoot out from the Lightning Lake and struck the lake, causing crackling sounds to ring out.
Mo Wuji did not have the mood to care about the Lightning Leopard anymore. Fortunately, the lightning lake was not far from where he met the Lightning Leopard.
Standing at the edge of the lightning lake, he felt the intensity of the lightning. This lightning was many times stronger than the one he encountered in the lightning lake in the Thunder Fog Forest. Even the lightning in the Lightning Tempering Room was not as strong as this.
However, Mo Wuji did not hesitate for long. He was now at the pinnacle of Channel Opening Stage Level 8, and he had the Heaven Crow Natural Silk Armour. Under the intensity of the lightning strikes, he would definitely be able to persevere.
Mo Wuji took a few steps and landed in the lightning lake. Just as he consumed a bottle of channel opening solution, two lightning bolts struck down. Without waiting for the two lightning bolts to land on him, Mo Wuji took the initiative to punch the two lightning bolts.
With the help of his spiritual will, Mo Wuji advanced to Channel Opening Stage Level 9. This time, the lightning source was easily guided into his newly opened meridian.
Ka ka! With just two lightning bolts, half of Mo Wuji's 62nd meridian was opened.
Another few lightning bolts descended. Mo Wuji continuously used his spiritual will and cultivation technique to guide the lightning to bombard the blocked meridians. After a few times, the 62nd meridian was directly blasted open.
Mo Wuji rejoiced in his heart as he took out another bottle of channel opening solution and swallowed it.
This was Mo Wuji's first time using lightning to open meridians so easily. Previously, he had been beaten to death every time. This time, he had the Heaven Crow Natural Silk Armour. Occasionally, a few lightning bolts would land on his body, but they were all blocked by the armour. Only his arms were slightly painful.
63 meridians, 64 meridians …
"Ka ka ka …" This time, Mo Wuji directly guided seven lightning bolts to land on his arms. The seven lightning bolts tore the clothes on his arms apart, and a bone-shattering force rushed into Mo Wuji's 72nd meridian. The immense pain made Mo Wuji unable to stand steadily.
He was too careless. Fortunately, Mo Wuji had experienced much more painful things than this before. He still managed to guide all the lightning energy into his 72nd meridian. In just one try, his 72nd meridian was opened.
The instant his 72nd meridian was opened, Mo Wuji felt as though his body had undergone a transformation. His entire being felt more relaxed and carefree.
Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief as he consumed another bottle of channel opening solution. He still had five bottles of channel opening solution on him. At this rate, he would be able to open at least 75 to 76 meridians.
After consuming a bottle of meridian opening solution, he felt a burning sensation in his throat for a moment before the sensation disappeared without a trace once again.
Mo Wuji's heart sank. He was prepared for such a situation, but when it really happened, he was still slightly disappointed. This was already the second time such a situation occurred. The first time was after he opened 36 meridians. He thought of a way to upgrade the channel opening solution, and this time, it happened after he opened 72 meridians.
It seemed like his channel opening solution was going to be upgraded again. Mo Wuji turned around disappointedly. This place was a good place to temper meridians. Unfortunately, he did not have any more channel opening solution.
"Boom! Kacha … "Just as Mo Wuji turned around, a lightning bolt that was ten times thicker than the previous one came crashing down, directly striking Mo Wuji's back.
"Pff …" Mo Wuji spat out a mouthful of blood. His entire body was sent flying into the lightning lake.
Mo Wuji felt a familiar tearing pain, making it hard for him to struggle. Mo Wuji knew that at least seven to eight of his ribs were broken, and his five viscera and six bowels were severely injured.
Fortunately, there was only one lightning bolt. If there was another, he would be dead.
Mo Wuji forcefully took out a few healing pills and swallowed them as he struggled to climb out of this lightning lake. If it wasn't for the Heaven Crow Natural Silk Robe, perhaps he would have been killed by that thick lightning bolt.
He did indeed have the foresight to purchase the Heaven Crow Natural Silk Armour. In his heart, Mo Wuji would rather not have this foresight than to be injured to such an extent.
"Friend, do you need help?" An unhurried voice could be heard. Mo Wuji struggled to lift his head.
He saw a handsome young man standing outside the lightning lake. He had straight eyebrows and a gentle smile on his face. It was as though the Mo Wuji in front of him was not a person struggling in the swamp, but a person admiring the moon in the lake.
Mo Wuji could not help but sigh. If he was on Earth, this fella would have been born to be a superstar. Not only was his physique perfect, he was handsome, his voice and mannerisms were perfect too. All of this was extremely natural, and there were no signs of him being pretentious.
"Pill Master Mo?" Another surprised voice could be heard. This time, it was a woman, Mo Wuji's old acquaintance, Qu Wan 'Er.
Clearly, Qu Wan 'Er came together with the handsome young man.
The healing pills took effect, and Mo Wuji exerted some strength to climb out of the swamp.
"Thank you friend, but I don't need any help for now." After crawling out of the swamp, Mo Wuji leaned against a huge rock, took out a few pills and swallowed them, then chuckled.
The handsome young man seemed to know what Mo Wuji was thinking. He smiled and did not say anything.
Qu Wan 'Er took a step forward and asked anxiously, "Pill Master Mo, are you alright? How did you enter the lightning lake? "
Mo Wuji took a few deep breaths before saying, "I saw a spiritual herb in the lightning lake, so I wanted to dig it up. I didn't expect the lightning to be so fierce, and I almost couldn't climb out."
"Eh, there really is a Lightning Shock Grass …" The handsome young man's figure flashed, and he turned into a shadow as he rushed into the lightning lake. When he came out, there was a blue grass in his hand.
Lightning Shock Grass? Mo Wuji's heart skipped a beat. He was just speaking nonsense, but this young man was indeed holding onto a Lightning Shock Grass.
The Lightning Shock Grass was extremely valuable because it was extremely rare. This type of grass could only survive in lightning lakes. It absorbed lightning essence to grow, and was able to avoid lightning. In the lightning lakes, other than some demonic beasts, it was very difficult for spiritual herbs to survive. The Lightning Shock Grass was an exception. When lightning strikes, it would be deflected by this grass. Of course, the lightning bolts that struck Mo Wuji just now could not be deflected by a low grade Lightning Shock Grass.
Because of this, the Lightning Shock Grass was even more valuable. It could be said that this thing was a priceless treasure for cultivators with lightning spiritual roots.
At the same time, Mo Wuji was shocked by this fella's cultivation level. From his speed, Mo Wuji could tell that this fella was much stronger than him.
The handsome young man smiled as he passed the Lightning Shock Grass to Mo Wuji, "You saw it first, I've helped you get it back."
Mo Wuji looked at this fella in confusion. The Lightning Shock Grass was so valuable, and this was at least a Tier 6 spiritual herb. This fella just gave it away like that? Could it be that he was showing off his generosity in front of Qu Wan 'Er? That couldn't be right. With his looks and demeanour, he wouldn't have given away a Lightning Shock Grass to gain Qu Wan 'Er's favour.
"This was dug by you, not mine. The one I saw might not be this one." Mo Wuji shook his head, and rejected this fella's good intentions without hesitation.
He was just speaking nonsense. This Lightning Shock Grass had nothing to do with him from the moment it was discovered to the moment it was dug up. He did not want to take advantage of others.
By the side, Qu Wan 'Er hurriedly said, "Pill Master Mo, this is Heaven Demon Sect's Senior Hou Yucheng. Senior Hou never takes advantage of others. Since you found it, you should just accept it. It's alright."
Mo Wuji smiled faintly. Hou Yucheng did not take advantage of others, but did he, Mo Wuji, like to take advantage of others? Of course, even if he wanted to take advantage of others, it depended on what it was. It was just a Lightning Shock Grass, not an Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal.
"This doesn't belong to me, and Brother Hou doesn't owe me anything, so I won't take this Lightning Splitting Grass." Mo Wuji said calmly, but with an unquestionable tone.
Hou Yucheng was slightly surprised. He looked at Qu Wan 'Er and asked, "Junior Wan' Er, this should be the Pill Master Mo Wuji that you mentioned to me before, right?"
(Hou Yucheng is a rather important character, so I used him for the title. Also, tonight, Ol 'Five's official WeChat (ESLW26) will post an article introducing all the demonic beasts that appeared in the book. At the same time, he will post the final drawing of Mo Wuji's portrait. Friends are welcome to share their opinions.)
