"Haha, Wuji …" Zhen Shaoru obviously saw Mo Wuji coming over, and greeted Mo Wuji with a hearty laugh.
When the cultivator who was fighting Zhen Shaoru saw an acquaintance appear on Zhen Shaoru's side, he subconsciously slowed down. When he saw that Mo Wuji's spirituality was ordinary, he immediately relaxed. Mo Wuji's cultivation level was definitely not at the Spirit Building Stage, and his talent was average, so there was nothing to worry about.
"Brother Mo, is this your friend?" Hou Yucheng followed over and asked.
Behind Hou Yucheng, Qu Wan 'Er and Yu Zhi also walked over. The cultivator who thought that there was no need to worry about Mo Wuji, had a change in expression.
Hou Yucheng was famous, and he had long recognised him. Just Hou Yucheng alone was enough to kill him. Furthermore, the two people following behind Hou Yucheng were clearly not simple people. Coupled with Zhen Shaoru's words, if he continued to stay here, he would be courting death.
Before Mo Wuji could answer Hou Yucheng's words, the cultivator quickly retreated. He did not even leave behind a single word, and left in the blink of an eye.
No one chased after him, and Mo Wuji began to introduce Zhen Shaoru to Hou Yucheng, Yu Zhi and co.
Zhen Shaoru had a one-track mind, and after the cultivator ran away, he grinned and said, "Wuji, I'm rich this time, I'm rich …"
They were already near the exit, and there were a few more people coming over. Mo Wuji could only say, "Shaoru, why don't we talk outside?"
"Alright, let's talk outside. Let me tell you, even though I didn't get the Flower of the True Gods this time, what I got would definitely not be any worse. Just now, that fella was jealous of my stuff, and chased me for a few days, hehe … "
This fella finally could not help but show off, and was just short of saying what he got.
The few people who came over also heard Zhen Shaoru's words, and subconsciously turned their gazes over. After seeing that there were four to five people with Mo Wuji, they went around Mo Wuji and left.
Mo Wuji thought to Zhen Shaoru, "You better pray that you didn't get anything better, and even if you did, it probably wouldn't be yours."
"Wuji, did you find the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal? What does it look like? "Zhen Shaoru was feeling smug for a while before he remembered about Mo Wuji and hurriedly asked.
Hou Yucheng finally understood why Mo Wuji kept asking about the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal. "Brother Mo, so you want the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal?"
By the side, Zhen Shaoru was already familiar with Hou Yucheng as he replied loudly, "Of course. Wuji had asked my big brother many questions regarding the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal. Unfortunately, neither my big brother nor I knew anything about it. My big brother went to ask some alchemists, but they didn't know either … "
"The Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal rarely appears, and even I have never seen it before. I only heard about it from my master. Most people have never seen such a treasure before." Hou Yucheng nodded.
As he finished speaking, Hou Yucheng seemed to have thought of something, and asked again, "Brother Mo, are you looking for the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal to ask Granny Linglong for help?"
Mo Wuji sighed, "That is indeed the case. Back when I went to the ice mountain, I asked you if there were any Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals there. Initially, I thought that most pill refiners didn't know about the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal, so I didn't think that you would know about it. That's why I didn't ask … "
As Mo Wuji said this, he suddenly felt that something was amiss, and stopped abruptly.
Hou Yucheng sighed in his heart as he thought to himself, Even if you asked, it would be useless even if I told you. You were trapped under the ice mountain for two months, how would you have the chance to find the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal?
"Something's not right!" Mo Wuji finally realised what was wrong.
The Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal was so rare that even Zhen Shaoke and the other pill refiners didn't know about it. How did the man and woman on the ice step know about the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal?
Mo Wuji tried his best to recall the scene back then. That ice step was still tens of feet from the ground, and standing on that ice step, it was very difficult to see the row of small Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals at the edge of the ice altar. Even if they did, the first thing they saw would be the two ice flowers on the ice altar.
Those two ice flowers were so dazzling that if it was anyone else, they would definitely not look at the trash-like four-edged crystals at the side before noticing the two ice flowers.
The only possibility was that the two people called out the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal for the two ice flowers that he dug out.
If that was the case, then Hou Yucheng's description of the shape of the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal was wrong.
As he thought of this, Mo Wuji asked again, "Brother Hou, are you sure that the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal is a slightly yellow four-edged crystal?"
Hou Yucheng said with certainty, "There's no mistake, the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal is a yellow four-edged crystal, and it looks like it's crystal clear."
Seeing that Mo Wuji was silent again, Hou Yucheng consoled him, "Brother Mo, the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal is an extremely rare treasure in the Five Elements Desolate Domain, even rarer than the Flower of the True Gods. Furthermore, even if we do encounter an Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal, it would be difficult for us to approach it with our current strength. "
"I know." Mo Wuji answered quietly. He knew better than anyone else how difficult it was to get close to the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal. If not for the fact that he was lucky enough to cultivate the first style of the Seven Styles Lightning Sky, he would not have been able to get close to the two ice flowers.
Everyone fell silent, because no one here could help Mo Wuji. Even the first dean of the Heaven Seeking Palace could not guarantee that Granny Linglong would help him.
In the end, even the insensitive Zhen Shaoru knew that Mo Wuji was not in a good mood, and spoke less.
Half a day later, when the five of them reached the exit, there were already one to two thousand people here, and there were still people coming in. As for the poisonous fog that they encountered when they first entered, it was now gone.
The cultivators at the entrance were all very cautious, and most of them stood in groups of a few, their expressions filled with vigilance. Evidently, the cultivators that entered the Five Elements Desolate Domain had gained quite a lot.
After waiting for slightly more than four hours, a series of rumbling sounds could be heard, and at the same time, the surrounding fog thickened once again.
Mo Wuji casually looked around, and saw that the number of people that came out was less than half of the people that entered. Of the five thousand that entered, only about three thousand left, and about a thousand mysteriously went missing in the Five Elements Desolate Domain. He saw Yan Qianyin in the crowd, but he was not in the mood to greet her.
When the rumbling sounds ended, a black passageway appeared in front of everyone. At this moment, there was no need for anyone to say anything, as everyone rushed into the passageway.
Fortunately, the passageway was wide enough, and the speed of the cultivators that entered was also fast. With a few thousand people passing through, there was basically no congestion or blockage.
Mo Wuji's group of five were sandwiched in between the crowd, and in less than an incense's time, Mo Wuji and the rest returned to the small plaza.
The passageway out of the plaza was also closed, and everyone could only wait quietly on the plaza.
After waiting for close to an hour, the passageway let out a series of rumbling sounds. The crowd saw the passageway to the Five Elements Desolate Domain slowly closing, and finally disappearing without a trace.
"There's a lot less people here," Zhen Shaoru chuckled, and said thoughtlessly.
No one bothered with him, and at this moment, Mo Wuji saw the second dean of the Heaven Seeking Palace, Feng Zhenqiu.
There were two red robed cultivators standing beside Feng Zhenqiu, and these two were like bodyguards, standing behind Feng Zhenqiu, not moving an inch.
Feng Zhenqiu's gaze swept across the crowd, and he said, "Congratulations on coming out safely. Regardless of whether you obtained any treasures in the Five Elements Desolate Domain, this would be an immeasurable fortune for your future cultivation. Now, please hand over your bracelets, and wait quietly. "
Other than Mo Wuji, who only knew about the use of the bracelets after entering the Five Elements Desolate Domain, everyone else seemed to know that the bracelets could not be lost, and that they had to be handed over.
After Feng Zhenqiu said this, the two red robed men behind him started to collect the bracelets.
When he received Mo Wuji's bracelets, he hurriedly bowed and said, "When junior was collecting the Lightning Splitting Grass in the lightning lake, I was struck by lightning, and almost died. My bracelets were also lost in the lightning lake."
The red robed cultivator who received Mo Wuji's bracelets turned to look at Feng Zhenqiu, and Feng Zhenqiu's gaze landed on Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji hurriedly bowed again, and did not dare to make any strange movements. Even his spiritual will was tightly retracted by him.
Because he had cultivated spiritual will, Mo Wuji was much more sensitive to spiritual will than the average cultivator, and he could clearly feel a spiritual will landing on his storage bag. Moments later, that spiritual will disappeared.
This allowed Mo Wuji to heave a sigh of relief. It seemed like a senior like Feng Zhenqiu still cared about his reputation, and would not use his spiritual will to search his entire body.
"Since you don't have any bracelets, then stand to the side." Feng Zhenqiu nodded his head warmly, and did not say anything that worried Mo Wuji.
Half an hour passed, and the two red robed men collected all the bracelets in the shortest time possible.
Feng Zhenqiu then said with a smile, "Everyone, please leave. Those who want to join the Heaven Seeking Palace, can register at the Heaven Seeking Palace encampment. We will evaluate each person based on their talent and contribution to the Heaven Seeking Palace. This time, the Heaven Seeking Palace will be recruiting 300 people, so I hope everyone will make good use of this opportunity. "
The path to the outside of the Five Elements Desolate Domain was also opened, and everyone filed out. Zhen Shaoru was still excitedly chattering beside Mo Wuji's ear, "This time, I will definitely join the Heaven Seeking Palace. Wuji, when the time comes, I will help you find that old granny Linglong …"
This fella had not even joined the Heaven Seeking Palace, and he already thought that finding Granny Linglong was just a matter of a sentence.
Mo Wuji was speechless, and he guessed that the Heaven Seeking Palace was now comparing who had obtained more valuable treasures. The Heaven Seeking Palace was most likely recruiting disciples based on these treasures, and if there was a top grade treasure, then the Heaven Seeking Palace might use some methods to keep it for themselves. However, for a place like the Heaven Seeking Palace, the definition of a top grade treasure was definitely higher than what they imagined.
