Mo Wuji clenched his fists tightly as he knelt on the ground, covered in wounds. The changes that this one meridian brought to his body far exceeded that of the previous 72 meridians. However, Mo Wuji was very clear that without the previous 72 meridians, he would not have been able to open the 73rd meridian.
After resting for about an hour, Mo Wuji drank a bottle of channel opening solution and set the lightning strike tempering method for another hour.
If not for the fact that he could not handle the stronger lightning bolts, Mo Wuji would have gone to the high grade Lightning Tempering Room. In the intermediate grade Lightning Tempering Room, he needed about an hour to open a single meridian. If he had chosen the low grade Lightning Tempering Room, it would have been very difficult for him to open a single meridian.
The second time, Mo Wuji was prepared, but he was still charred black by the lightning bolts. Large amounts of lightning bolts landed on Mo Wuji's body. Other than his chest and back which were protected by the Heaven Crow natural silk armour, the rest of his body was horrifying.
If Mo Wuji was not a pill refiner, he might not even have lasted for an incense's time.
Others bought pills to raise their cultivation level, but he concocted pills to heal his injuries. Ever since he started cultivating, he had been continuously injured, each injury more serious than the previous one. He was also constantly improving himself after suffering from serious injuries again and again.
Mo Wuji had no way of defending himself against the lightning bolts. He could only forcefully circulate his cultivation technique to guide the lightning bolts to open his meridians. As for blocking and evading, he had lost the ability to do so.
"Plop!" After an hour, Mo Wuji could not hold on any longer as he laid on the ground, panting heavily.
His 74th meridian was finally opened. After two hours of inhumane torture in the Lightning Tempering Room, he managed to open two meridians.
Even though Mo Wuji wanted to continue, he knew that he could not. If he continued, he might not be able to keep his life.
More importantly, he had used up all his healing pills. He needed to go back and buy a pill furnace, or borrow the sect's pill refinement room to concoct some healing pills.
After resting for another hour, Mo Wuji cleaned himself up, changed into a new set of clothes and opened the door to the Lightning Tempering Room.
Mo Wuji tiredly took out the jade token for the Immortal Tempering Room. Just as he was about to leave, the door of the extremely beautiful woman's ice tempering room opened.
Compared to Mo Wuji, who was in a sorry state with messy hair and a face full of scars, the woman's face was only slightly paler.
"You're alright?" That woman stared at Mo Wuji suspiciously as she sized him up, before asking in astonishment. She did not believe that Mo Wuji had been sleeping inside for four hours. From Mo Wuji's sorry figure, she could tell that Mo Wuji had indeed been tempering himself with lightning bolts.
As long as it was tempered in the Intermediate Lightning Tempering Room, it would take at least half an incense's time. The fact that Mo Wuji was able to survive for half an incense's time truly shocked her. In her memory, there was no Channel Opening Stage cultivator who could last half an incense's time in the intermediate grade lightning tempering room.
One must know that she herself was at Transcending Mortality Stage Level 7 and had ice-attributed spiritual roots. Even so, she could only last 4 hours in the Ice Tempering Room. In between, she had to rest for nearly an hour.
Mo Wuji smiled and nodded towards this woman to express his gratitude for her reminder. Then, he left the 12th level. He was so tired that he had no interest in talking. At this moment, all he wanted to do was to go back and rest, then buy a pill furnace, or go to the sect to concoct pills.
"Wait … Did you cultivate a lightning-attributed tempering technique?" The woman stopped Mo Wuji once again.
How could Mo Wuji have any lightning-attributed tempering technique? If he did, would he be in such a sorry state? However, he did not dare to say that he did not have one. If he did not have a lightning-attributed tempering technique, how could he have stayed in the Lightning Tempering Room for such a long time?
"Yes." Mo Wuji answered with two simple words as he quickened his footsteps.
"My name is Cen Shuyin, a legacy disciple of the Sword Lake." The woman suddenly reported her name.
Mo Wuji looked at this woman suspiciously. He had only stayed in the Lightning Tempering Room for a short while. Was there something special about him? Why would a legacy disciple want to know him? He did know of the Sword Lake. That Zuo Shaoyi was from the Sword Lake.
"Oh, I'm Mo Wuji, an outer disciple of the outer sect mountain." Mo Wuji smiled as he answered. If someone took the initiative to tell you their name, it meant that they wanted to get to know you. Mo Wuji was not that impolite.
Cen Shuyin was even more shocked as she sized Mo Wuji up. She really did not expect Mo Wuji to be an outer disciple. However, when she thought about it, Mo Wuji did not seem to have any spirituality around him. Mo Wuji definitely had low spiritual roots. It was already not easy for him to enter the Heaven Seeking Palace.
She did not continue asking about Mo Wuji. Instead, she said awkwardly, "Erm, can you sell your physique tempering technique to me? Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you in terms of price. "
Mo Wuji was a cultivator with low spiritual roots, yet he was able to temper his body in the intermediate grade Lightning Tempering Room. One could only imagine how impressive Mo Wuji's lightning-attributed tempering technique was. Cen Shuyin had always wanted a lightning-attributed tempering technique. Unfortunately, there were many lightning-attributed tempering techniques on the market, but their grades were too low.
"I'm really sorry. My technique is not for sale. I will not sell it no matter how much you offer, "Mo Wuji said apologetically.
It was not that he could not sell it. It was because he did not even have a lightning-attributed tempering technique. How could he sell it? If he had it, he would not mind selling it. Why not sell it for money? Why not? Cen Shuyin revealed a disappointed expression.
Cen Shuyin revealed a disappointed expression. To be honest, she had never asked anyone for something like this before. This was the first time she was rejected without hesitation.
At this moment, the two of them had already reached the first floor of the Immortal Training Tower. Since Mo Wuji was unwilling to sell his lightning tempering technique, Cen Shuyin could only give up and leave hurriedly.
Many cultivators on the first floor of the Immortal Training Tower stared at Mo Wuji. They had never seen Cen Shuyin walking shoulder to shoulder with a male cultivator. Who was this battered and exhausted kid? How could he walk shoulder to shoulder with Cen Shuyin?
Even though no one stopped Mo Wuji to question him, many people were paying attention to Mo Wuji. They wanted to know who exactly Mo Wuji was.
Mo Wuji did not care about their gazes. He returned to his residence and started cultivating. At his current level, even if he could not improve his cultivation, he would be able to speed up his recovery.
Two days later, Mo Wuji left his residence and headed towards the Heaven Seeking Palace's pill refining room.
The Heaven Seeking Palace's pill refinement rooms were split into three levels: low grade pill refinement room, intermediate grade pill refinement room and high grade pill refinement room.
The intermediate grade pill refining room was too expensive and Mo Wuji did not have any contribution points. Hence, he chose the low grade pill refining room. This time, Mo Wuji turned all the spiritual herbs around him into pills. He even concocted nine bottles of Tier 4 healing pills.
The reason why he concocted so many healing pills was so that he could refine his meridians. The reason why he dared to stay in the intermediate grade Lightning Tempering Room was because he had so many healing pills.
After leaving the pill refining room, Mo Wuji did not even return to the outer sect mountain. Instead, he went straight to the Immortal Training Tower. Originally, his jade token for the Lightning Tempering Room still had 16 hours left. In order not to run all over the place, he paid another 8,000 Earth grade spirit stones to add another 40 hours to the Lightning Tempering Room under the shocked gaze of the cute girl from the Immortal Training Agency.
With a pile of Tier 3 and Tier 4 healing pills, Mo Wuji believed that he would not need to cultivate for two days every time he opened his meridians. That would be too much of a waste of time.
Arriving at the 12th level of the Immortal Training Tower, Mo Wuji realised that there were many more people here than a few days ago. Fortunately, his Lightning Tempering Room C was empty.
Mo Wuji inserted the jade token and entered the Lightning Tempering Room again.
Not long after Mo Wuji entered the Lightning Tempering Room, Cen Shuyin arrived at the 12th level. Her gaze subconsciously landed on the Lightning Tempering Room C. No one had entered the Lightning Tempering Room C for the past few days. Today, there was another jade token inserted outside. She felt that the outer disciple was here to refine his body again.
Previously, when Mo Wuji arrived at the 12th level, the cultivators on the 12th level did what they were supposed to do and did what they were supposed to do. Now that Cen Shuyin had arrived, the 12th level quietened down.
Unfortunately, Cen Shuyin did not stay for long. Very soon, she entered the intermediate grade Ice Tempering Room.
…
With his previous experience, Mo Wuji first removed his clothes and placed them in his storage bag. At the same time, he placed the storage bag into his Heaven Crow Natural Silk Robe. Only then did he set the tempering time to an hour and consume a bottle of channel opening solution.
This new channel opening solution was very powerful. It was unlike the first time where he needed to consume a few bottles consecutively to open a meridian. This channel opening solution was made with fire jade and Purple Jade Toad Lotus strips. Every bottle could open a meridian.
Pressing the button to start the tempering process, lightning bolts came crashing down. While Mo Wuji was preventing himself from sustaining more serious injuries, he continuously guided the lightning bolts to attack his 75th meridian.
The lightning bolts in the Lightning Tempering Room accurately stopped after an hour. Similarly, Mo Wuji opened his 75th meridian within the hour.
Mo Wuji set the rest time to be half an hour. Half an hour later, he continued to open his 76th meridian.
…
Four hours passed. Cen Shuyin opened the door of the Ice Tempering Room punctually. She was shocked to find that the door to the Lightning Tempering Room C was still closed.
Cen Shuyin purposely slowed down, and even tidied up her shoes. However, when she had no choice but to leave the 12th level, the door to the Lightning Tempering Room C was still closed.
"Junior apprentice sister Shuyin?" At the first level of the Immortal Training Tower, a handsome cultivator saw Cen Shuyin and immediately came over to greet her warmly.
If it was any other time, Cen Shuyin would definitely give a simple reply and leave immediately.
Today, however, Cen Shuyin had stopped. Not only did she stop, she was also conversing with the cultivator.
This handsome cultivator was so excited that his heart was thumping wildly. Cen Shuyin actually treated him differently today. This caused him to talk non-stop about the results of his training. He could feel the envious gazes around him, and his heart was filled with satisfaction.
Cen Shuyin purposely stayed, not to wait for Mo Wuji, but to find out how long Mo Wuji could last. This was Mo Wuji's second time in the Lightning Tempering Room C, and the time he lasted was much longer than the first time. The only reason was that Mo Wuji's lightning affinity tempering technique was truly amazing.
