The words' Honest Qi's Miscellaneous Goods Shop 'were dim, and if one did not pay attention, one would not be able to see it.
An old man with a messy beard was hammering something in the corner of the shop. When Mo Wuji walked in, he lifted his head and grinned, revealing a row of black teeth.
Mo Wuji lifted his head and looked around. He could not tell if they were spiritual equipment or magic equipment hanging on the wall, and under the dim lighting, he could not see them clearly.
Other than that, there was a cupboard with many holes, and there were a few old porcelain bottles in it. He did not know if they were pills or other things.
What was more ridiculous was that at the bottom of the cupboard, there were tens of dried spiritual herbs. The spiritual herbs were covered in dust, and it was obvious that the way spiritual herbs were preserved was a waste.
Mo Wuji rubbed his forehead. He suspected that the shop assistant was evil, taking six Earth Yuan Pills from him and bringing him to such a place. He even said that this was Honest Qi's shop, and that the goods were the real deal.
The old man chuckled, "Feel free to look around, if there's anything you like, I'll give you a discount."
Mo Wuji was speechless, and he took a step back. Just as he was about to leave the shop, he suddenly felt that something was amiss. His gaze fell on the pile of dried spirit herbs at the bottom of the broken cupboard, and a piece of dried grass that looked like a stick caught his attention.
That thing was very familiar, and even though it was dried up, the spiritual energy on it was still familiar.
Soon, Mo Wuji recalled that this was the rhizome of the Purple Jade Toad Lotus, and he had many of these rhizome on him.
The Purple Jade Toad Lotus was a Tier 7 spiritual herb, and a rare one at that. Mo Wuji knew that the reason why he was able to open 99 meridians was because of his channel opening solution. But if he did not have the Purple Jade Toad Lotus, and only used the Treasured Blood Lotus, would he be able to open 99 meridians in one go?
According to Mo Xue's Land Spiritual Herb Records, the Purple Jade Toad Lotus was the best spiritual herb for opening and repairing spirit channels. This was a treasure that all cultivators desired, but it was thrown by the old man at the bottom of the cupboard like rubbish.
Mo Wuji resisted the urge to use his spiritual will to check. If that was really the rhizome of the Purple Jade Toad Lotus, then this Honest Qi was definitely not an honest person. If it sensed that he had Divine Sense, it would be terrible.
He stopped retreating and looked around once again.
After a while, he pretended to be hesitant and said, "Manager Qi, I want to go to the Lost Sky Ruins. Because of my low cultivation level, I want to buy some items to increase my chances of survival. But I really don't see anything good here … "
Honest Qi held onto his knees and stood up with some difficulty. He grinned at Mo Wuji and casually pulled out a drawer from the broken cupboard. The moment the drawer was pulled out, dust filled the air.
Honest Qi did not seem to notice anything as he took out a bottle of pills from his drawer and said, "This is the most powerful antidote pill. The Lost Sky Ruins is filled with poison and only my antidote pill can cure it. The price is 260,000 Earth grade spirit stones."
Mo Wuji inhaled a breath of cold air. He had plenty of antidotes on him and he wasn't crazy to spend 260,000 Earth grade spirit stones to buy antidotes.
Honest Qi pulled out another drawer and casually took out a piece of broken paper, "This is my most powerful group attack talisman. No matter how strong your opponent is, this talisman will be able to lock onto him and kill him. The price is even cheaper, only 310,000 Earth grade spirit stones … "
310,000 Earth grade spirit stones was cheaper than 260,000?
Seeing that Honest Qi was about to open another drawer, Mo Wuji hurriedly stopped him and said, "Manager Qi, I have the antidote pill but I'm not used to using talismans. I want to see if you have a map of the Lost Sky Ruins. Or … the general location of some precious spiritual items in the Lost Sky Ruins … "
"I have this too, hold on …" Honest Qi kept pulling out drawer after drawer from the broken cupboard.
If not for Honest Qi pulling out these drawers one by one, Mo Wuji wouldn't have known that there were so many drawers in this broken cupboard.
After pulling out seven to eight drawers, Honest Qi finally found a leather map and a thin book, "This is the most powerful map of the Lost Sky Ruins. I'm sure that there isn't any map of the Lost Sky Ruins that is more complete than this. This book records the locations of all kinds of treasures in the Lost Sky Ruins. The price is cheap, only … "
Everything Honest Qi had was the best and Mo Wuji was already immune to it. Without waiting for Honest Qi to finish his sentence, Mo Wuji interrupted, "Manager Qi, can I just flip through it?"
Mo Wuji pointed to the thin book as he wanted to see if the Sky Channel Flower was in it. To him, the most important thing to go to the Lost Sky Ruins was the Sky Channel Flower.
Honest Qi chuckled, "It's not that I can't flip through it, but you have to buy one of the items in front of me before you can flip through it."
Mo Wuji was momentarily speechless. How was this fella honest, he was simply too cunning. He really wanted to see if there was any mention of the Sky Channel Flower in the booklet, so he said, "Shopkeeper Qi, even though I still have some spirit stones on me, I need to use them for cultivation … Erm, can I just buy one of your antidote pills?"
Out of all the items that Honest Qi quoted, the antidote pill seemed to be the cheapest.
Honest Qi frowned and thought for a while before saying with a cold face, "Since that's the case, you can buy one antidote pill and I can let you flip through the book. Seeing that you're poor, I'll give you a discount on the price of the antidote pill, only 30,000 Earth grade spirit stones. "
His attitude changed faster than flipping a book.
Mo Wuji cursed at this old fella in his heart. A bottle of antidote pills usually contained 12 pills and this fella quoted 260,000. Now, one pill would cost him 30,000 Earth grade spirit stones. Even though his main motive for buying the antidote pill was not the antidote pill but the thin book, he still felt displeased.
If not for the Purple Jade Toad Lotus rhizome which made him feel that Honest Qi's items might be really good, he would have left long ago.
"Alright, 30,000 Earth grade spirit stones it is. However, I have to say the ugly words first. I won't really flip through it, but you have to let me take a look at each page. "Mo Wuji had experienced Honest Qi's cunning and said this in advance. He had seen such traps in words many times.
Honest Qi looked at Mo Wuji in shock. This fella was really impressive to be able to hear through his trap. "No way, I'll only let you flip through it three times."
Mo Wuji thought in his heart that if he did not mention this trap, he would definitely be at a disadvantage again.
"Since that's the case, then there's no more business for me. I'll go take a look elsewhere." With that, Mo Wuji turned and left. He started to suspect that the rhizome of the Purple Jade Toad Lotus might be a trap left behind by this fella. Also, the entire house was covered in dust. Could this fella be deliberately mystifying things, making himself look like a hidden expert, using such a method to attract people who knew his stuff?
However, it didn't seem like it. If he did not obtain the Purple Jade Toad Lotus, he wouldn't even be able to tell that it was the rhizome of the Purple Jade Toad Lotus.
"Alright, I'll let you flip through it five times. If you still don't agree, then please leave." Honest Qi called out to Mo Wuji.
Perhaps this fella was really an expert. Some powerful seniors liked to do such things. With a wishful thinking, Mo Wuji unwillingly took out his spirit stone card and paid 30,000 Earth grade spirit stones. He bought a black and swarthy pill without even a bottle.
Fortunately, Mo Wuji did not mind as he casually threw the antidote pill into his storage bag. Then, he impatiently grabbed the thin booklet.
"Remember, five times. But you cannot stop for even a moment …" Honest Qi warned Mo Wuji. Then, he stared at Mo Wuji's hands. He was afraid that Mo Wuji would not listen to him and flip through the booklet one more time.
Mo Wuji took a look at the thin booklet. There were at most six to seven pages. Flipping through it five times would mean that he had read most of the contents.
He did not look at the first and second pages. The Sky Channel Flower that he was looking for was definitely not an ordinary item. If it was not an ordinary item, it would not be at the front.
Mo Wuji directly flipped to the third page. Meteorite Wind Bamboo, Purple Tang Fruit, Underworld Soul Crystal …
All sorts of weird looking treasures filled the two pages. Mo Wuji had not even heard of many of these treasures. However, as long as it was written, it would be marked with the approximate location of the Lost Sky Ruins. In reality, Mo Wuji was looking for something similar. This boosted Mo Wuji's confidence. He was even more convinced that this old man was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.
Flipping to the fourth page, the fifth page … Mo Wuji still did not see the Sky Channel Flower.
Mo Wuji flipped to the sixth page. If he still did not see the Sky Channel Flower on this or the next page, then he would have to put a question mark on this booklet. This was because he did not need to ask to know that Honest Qi's items would not be cheap.
However, the moment he flipped to the sixth page, Mo Wuji saw the Sky Channel Flower. If not for the fact that Mo Wuji had experienced so many things, he would really be excited.
He had even experienced rebirth, opening meridians, and the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower. This little bit of excitement was something that he could still control himself.
Once he was excited, even the slightest fluctuation would be revealed to this cunning Honest Qi. As long as Honest Qi knew his motive, he would definitely raise the price. Even if he did not raise the price, he did not want Honest Qi to know what he wanted. Regardless of whether Honest Qi was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, his demand for spirit stones was genuine.
Unfortunately, the location marked by the Sky Channel Flower was too complicated. His hand could not stop at this page. Moreover, he did not want to use his spiritual will in front of Honest Qi. Hence, he could only give it a quick glance.
With a disappointment that others could not see, Mo Wuji flipped to the seventh page …
Mo Wuji was sure that even if others could not see his disappointment, Honest Qi would definitely be able to.
Just as he flipped to the seventh page, the shop assistant that brought Mo Wuji to Honest Qi's shop ran over hurriedly. He stood at the entrance of Honest Qi's shop and saw that Mo Wuji had not left yet. He hurriedly gave Mo Wuji an anxious look.
