When the tall male cultivator brought Honest Qi and the veiled woman into the underground spirit stone mine, his face changed.
"What happened?" Honest Qi asked in a low voice. He could already see the change in the tall male cultivator's expression. It seemed like his premonition was right. If they finally found the Celestial Sunflower Gold, only to have it stolen by someone, then they would really be crying.
The tall male cultivator said with a tearful face, "Someone came here and dug the Celestial Sunflower Gold away …"
Honest Qi clenched his fists tightly. His veins were popping out and he was even trembling slightly. It was obvious that he was extremely angry and frustrated.
Not only Honest Qi, but the veiled woman was also panting softly. It was obvious that she was extremely angry.
"Other than the three of you, who else knows?" After a while, Honest Qi asked again.
The tall male cultivator shook his head, "No one else. Only the three of us know."
If Mo Wuji was his accomplice, he would definitely scold this fella for being an idiot. If he was the one to answer this question, he would definitely not say that only the few of them knew. He would say that there was another person who knew, and he even knew where that person was staying. If that was the case, Honest Qi would not kill him immediately. Instead, he would ask him to continue leading the way.
Honest Qi and the veiled woman looked at each other. They both knew that the tall male cultivator was not lying. Honest Qi raised his hand and slapped them twice. The pitiful man and woman did not even have the chance to enjoy the riches brought by the spirit stone mine before they were slapped to death by Honest Qi.
…
Less than a thousand miles away from this swamp, Mo Wuji was also panting in his newly dug immortal cave. Even though he was already in the Spirit Building Stage, he was still unbearably tired after running for such a long distance with such a huge object on his head.
Fortunately, this place was suitable for hiding. It was a dried-up river. Even the shallowest part of the river was tens of meters deep. Some parts were even tens of meters deep. It was like a canyon. However, this was obviously not a canyon. This was because the cracks on the riverbed were huge and clear.
Evidently, this river had not dried up for a long time. Otherwise, the cracks on the riverbed would not exist.
The location that Mo Wuji chose was in the middle of the embankment of this dried up river. Digging an immortal cave here was similar to digging an immortal cave on a cliff, safe and reliable. Moreover, there were some withered tree branches blocking the way in front of the cave, making it even more inconspicuous.
Mo Wuji even moved the fresh soil that he dug out. He intended to stay here for a period of time.
There were several reasons why he chose to stay here. First, he was carrying such a big thing on his back, so he couldn't have run far. Now, that thing was buried in a hidden spot at the bottom of the dried-up river. Secondly, he had just reached the Spirit Building Stage and he had a lot of spirit stones on him, so it was time for him to cultivate.
Of course, the most important thing was that Mo Wuji did not dare to return for the time being. Even though he had built his spirit, he was afraid that the moment he returned to the Heaven Seeking Palace, he would be slaughtered.
Since his arrest warrant could appear in the city square outside the Lost Sky Ruins, it meant that there was indeed a strong person behind Jin Jiuzhen, and this strong person also suspected that he was related to Jin Jiuzhen's death. If he also had a backer, as long as he didn't have a handle on him, he wouldn't be afraid of being suspected.
The main problem was that he didn't have a backer.
Besides these two problems, there was another problem, and that was that this place was not far from the spirit stone mine in the swamp. As long as he finished cultivating with his spirit stones, he could always return to move them.
This was only Mo Wuji's ideal plan. If he knew that Honest Qi was here, he wouldn't have dared to cultivate so close to the swamp, even if he had left an array imprint outside the spirit stone mine.
However, it was a blessing in disguise.
Mo Wuji didn't know that Honest Qi would come, so he dared to cultivate so close to the spirit stone mine. At the same time, Honest Qi didn't know that after Mo Wuji obtained the Celestial Sunflower Gold, not only did he not leave, he even dared to cultivate nearby.
Thus, Mo Wuji continued to cultivate, while Honest Qi and that woman continued to search for them.
…
Whether it was a cultivator or a researcher, time was the least valuable thing. Mo Wuji was both a researcher and a cultivator. The moment he started his closed door cultivation, he completely forgot about his surroundings. At this point, the only way to wake him up was to barge into the immortal cave he was cultivating in.
This was also the reason why Mo Wuji didn't dare to cultivate in the spirit stone mine in the swamp. Fortunately, he didn't cultivate there. If he really stayed there to cultivate, his corpse would have long turned cold.
Mo Wuji poured out all the spirit stones in his storage bag. 100 meridians were participating in the spiritual circulation, and the rate at which they absorbed spiritual energy was extremely shocking. Moreover, the spiritual energy in the surroundings was extremely dense, so Mo Wuji's cultivation level seemed to be increasing at every moment.
Two months later, he directly broke through Spirit Building Stage Level 1, and advanced to Spirit Building Stage Level 2. Five months later, Mo Wuji broke through Spirit Building Stage Level 2, and advanced to Spirit Building Stage Level 3. Eight months later, Mo Wuji broke through the elementary stage of Spirit Building Stage, and advanced to Spirit Building Stage Level 4. After opening 100 meridians, he didn't face any bottlenecks in this low level of cultivation.
At this time, Mo Wuji woke up from his closed door cultivation. He had no choice but to wake up, because he had depleted all his spirit stones.
Mo Wuji really wanted to go back to the spirit stone mine to bring more spirit stones back, and continue cultivating. However, he missed Yan 'Er. Eight months had passed, it shouldn't be a problem for him to go back and see Yan' Er before coming out again, right?
Mo Wuji immediately knew that he was just comforting himself. As long as he went back, there would definitely be danger. However, if he didn't go back to see Yan 'Er, Mo Wuji wouldn't feel at ease.
No, I still have to go back. This time, he had been away for almost a year, and he still didn't know how Yan 'Er was doing. Besides Yan 'Er, there was still Fei Bingzhu and co. He promised Fei Bingzhu that he would go to the Heaven Seeking City to take care of them. Now that he had joined the Heaven Seeking Palace for a year, he still hadn't visited Fei Bingzhu.
Mo Wuji made his decision, and just as he was about to go out, an air-piercing sound came from the sky. That air-piercing sound landed directly on the dried up riverbed. Mo Wuji hurried to the entrance of the cave to take a careful look, and discovered that it was a broken longsword.
At the very next moment, a young man covered in blood rushed to the riverbed and grabbed the longsword.
Following which, another person rushed down. This person had a head full of silver hair, and his skin was extremely white. He looked like a pretty boy. The magic treasure in his hand was the Dragon Bone Claw. The five glistening blue claws made people's hearts tremble with fear.
"Ren Tianxing, tell me the location, and I'll give you a quick death." The silver haired man landed in front of the young man covered in blood, and said coldly.
"Hahaha!" The young man called Ren Tianxing laughed loudly, "Shao Guangjing, who do you think you are? I, Ren Tianxing, am not one to be threatened. There's no need to talk about you, even if your Jade Net Sect's sect head came, I wouldn't even look him in the eye. "
Mo Wuji was indeed familiar with the Jade Net Sect. He had a feud with a fella called Shao Feng. This fella was also from the Jade Net Sect, and his surname was Shao. Mo Wuji wondered how he was related to Shao Feng.
The moment Jade Net Sect's Shao Guangjing's name came out, Mo Wuji subconsciously stood on Ren Tianxing's side.
Ren Tianxing? This name seemed somewhat familiar.
That's right, Mo Wuji finally remembered. Before he left the Heaven Seeking Palace, he went to the Heaven Seeking Palace's Task Hall. At the entrance of the Task Hall, there was a Heaven Seeking Board, which displayed the rankings of the experts climbing the Heaven Seeking Staircase. He remembered that the fella in first place was called Gou Zihan, and this Ren Tianxing was in third place.
The Heaven Seeking Palace should be very strong if they were in third place, but they couldn't even beat a fella from the Jade Net Sect?
The man called Shao Guangjing said coldly, "Since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish."
As he spoke, he raised the dragon bone claw in his hand, and the chilling cold light brought with it traces of deathly aura.
Mo Wuji was slightly confused. It was clearly Shao Guangjing and Ren Tianxing facing off, so why was he able to feel the deathly aura? After advancing to the intermediate stage of Spirit Building Stage, did his strength and senses reach such a level? Did he know that Shao Guangjing was filled with killing intent towards Ren Tianxing?
Ren Tianxing was not afraid at all. He wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth, and said disdainfully, "Shao Guangjing, wait till I advance to the Yuan Dan Stage. I can beat a bunch of trash like you by myself."
Mo Wuji suddenly understood. This Ren Tianxing had not advanced to the Yuan Dan Stage, but Shao Guangjing was already a Yuan Dan Stage expert. Ren Tianxing had not advanced to the Yuan Dan Stage, so he should be in the advanced stage of the Transcending Mortality Stage. For a Transcending Mortality Stage cultivator to be able to fight with a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator to such an extent, it wasn't that he couldn't do it, but that he was too amazing.
"Die for me …" The dragon bone claw in Shao Guangjing's hand shot out a few chilling shadows.
At this instant, Mo Wuji understood what was going on. This fella with the surname Shao wasn't even trying to kill Ren Tianxing, but him first. No wonder he felt a killing intent. That killing intent wasn't directed at Ren Tianxing, but at him, Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji rejoiced that he sensed the killing intent early on, and also rejoiced that he had advanced to the intermediate stage of Spirit Building Stage. Otherwise, he would have died without a doubt.
Mo Wuji's body slanted to the side, and at the same time, he activated his elemental energy and swung his Tian Ji Pole. He was very clear on how terrifying the dragon bone claw was, and simply dodging it would be useless. This was because the dragon bone claw would turn around again if it didn't kill him. Thus, he might as well take the initiative to block this claw.
"Dang!" Sparks flew as the Tian Ji Pole was smashed, and a violent surge of elemental energy surged. Mo Wuji's entire body was sent flying, crashing into the wall that he dug out, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Yuan Dan Stage was indeed strong. Mo Wuji couldn't be bothered to wipe off the blood at the corner of his mouth, as he swung his Tian Ji Pole once again, and smashed it against the dragon bone claw that had just turned around.
"Dang!" Elemental energy clashed, and a violent shockwave spread out, causing half of Mo Wuji's immortal cave to collapse. Mo Wuji's legs were buried in the ground, and a portion of the dragon bone claw's strength was dissipated.
Seeing that the dragon bone claw was about to temporarily give up on him and fly back, Mo Wuji took the initiative to charge forward, and swung his pole towards the dragon bone claw. After plotting against him, would he be able to escape so easily?
At almost the same time that Shao Guangjing made his move, Ren Tianxing also made his move. Seeing Ren Tianxing make his move, Shao Guangjing laughed coldly in his heart. A mere Transcending Mortality Stage cultivator actually dared to take advantage of him? After his dragon bone claw killed an ant, he would have the opportunity to fly back and attack Ren Tianxing again.
