"Yes, I need to find a place to condense my immortal lattice. After I condense my immortal lattice, we will go up the Immortal Seeking Staircase," Mo Wuji answered.
Han Qingru asked doubtfully, "Junior Brother, you've already found a way to exchange for a slot for the Corner of Yong Ying Joint Auction from First Cultivator Merchant House. Aren't you going?"
Mo Wuji shook his head, "I can't go. The reason why I asked them to take out such a jade token was because I don't want to go. I'm sure that as long as I go over, no matter how I disguise myself, I won't be able to escape the encirclement of Golden Immortals. I have never seen the power of a Golden Immortal. Even if I condensed my immortal lattice, I wouldn't dare to say that I would definitely be able to defeat a Golden Immortal. If there are a few Golden Immortals, it will be even harder for me to escape. "
Han Qingru's survival experience was far from Mo Wuji's. Hearing Mo Wuji's words, she suddenly came to a realisation. The reason why that woman from the First Cultivator Merchant House agreed to her Junior Brother's proposal without any hesitation was because she was sure that once her Junior Brother went to the auction, he would never be able to leave.
"I'm sorry," Han Qingru said apologetically as she thought of the trouble she had caused.
Mo Wuji smiled faintly, "That's nothing. I was once a blank piece of paper like you. Back then, I wasn't even as good as you. I was even stabbed in the back by the person I trusted the most. I think growth comes with a price. "
"Ah, who is that?" Han Qingru asked in shock. She felt that Mo Wuji was a man of principle and was not a two-faced person. Since he was Mo Wuji's friend, why would he stab him in the back?
Mo Wuji shook his head, "Forget it, I've already forgotten about these things. Let's return to where we came from and condense our immortal lattice."
…
Jing Yang was one of the seven major cities in China. Jingyang was one of the top cities in the world.
Jingshou Mountain was the highest mountain outside of Jing Yang City. The Jing Yang River flowed by the side of Jingshou Mountain, adding to the majestic grandeur of Jingshou Mountain.
At this moment, on a slope of Jingshou Mountain near the river, a young woman in white was standing next to a grave. She was like a statue, not moving at all. If it wasn't for the gentle breeze from the river blowing her dress, people would have thought that she was a real statue. The chill of the night during the Qingming Festival did not seem to have any effect on her.
Two lines of words were carved on the tombstone in front of the grave: Mo Wuji's Grave, erected by Wen Xiaoqi.
The sun gradually set in the west, and the sunlight with a trace of red edge shone down, adding a trace of poignant beauty to the scene.
After an unknown amount of time, the woman in white slowly bowed and murmured in an almost ethereal tone, "It's another year of the Qingming Festival. I don't ask you to forgive me, I only ask you …"
At this point, she seemed to be unable to continue. She just slowly clenched her fists.
A woman carrying a bamboo basket slowly walked over with unsteady steps. She walked behind the white-dressed woman and did not say a word.
The white dressed woman clearly knew that someone had arrived. She slowly turned her head to look at this woman with a face full of vicissitudes of life. After some time, she said, "Xiao Qi, thank you for setting up Wuji's grave. Thank you for taking care of this place all these years."
The woman with a face full of vicissitudes said calmly, "Xia Ruoyin, what I did has nothing to do with you."
After saying this, the woman called Xiao Qi slowly walked in front of the grave. She took out the offerings from the bamboo basket and placed them in front of the tombstone. She then took out some underworld money and lit it up. Every step she took was done meticulously, as though she was doing something normal.
Xia Ruoyin looked at this woman who was younger than her by two years, but had such vicissitudes of life. After some time, she suddenly turned around. In a short period of time, she had walked a long distance.
At this point, Wen Xiaoqi finally turned her head. She looked at Xia Ruoyin's back and suddenly clenched her fists. After some time, she sighed and lowered her head to murmur, "I'm sorry, Wuji. I don't have the ability to avenge you and kill this evil woman."
"You know everything?" An icy cold voice suddenly appeared beside Wen Xiaoqi's ear. Wen Xiaoqi stared in shock at Xia Ruoyin who was standing in front of her. Just now, she clearly saw Xia Ruoyin leave. How could she suddenly appear in front of her?
However, she immediately threw this matter to one side. Her tone became even calmer, "That's right, I know everything. Wuji was assassinated from behind. Every day, he would be in the laboratory doing his research. Besides you, no one else would be able to enter his laboratory. Wuji gave you his heart, but you actually assassinated him just for a formula. You're not even human. You're worse than a beast. "
Xia Ruoyin's face turned pale. She slowly raised her hand, and the killing intent around her intensified.
Wen Xiaoqi sneered, "I know that after you obtained Wuji's formula, you had a huge opportunity. Otherwise, your appearance would not have remained the same until now. However, I am not afraid. Wen Xiaoqi, kill me. Even if I can't avenge Wuji, dying together with Wuji would be a form of satisfaction. "
"You really want to kill me?" When Xia Ruoyin heard this, she slowly lowered her hand.
Wen Xiaoqi looked at Xia Ruoyin with disdain, "I can't wait to swallow your flesh and drink your blood. I didn't get married because I wanted to find a chance to kill you. Unfortunately, I know that I will never have that chance. "
With that, Wen Xiaoqi didn't even bother to look at Xia Ruoyin. She slowly turned around and threw the underworld money into the fire.
Xia Ruoyin's expression changed several times. Finally, she turned around again. Her figure flashed, and like a leaf, she quickly drifted away.
…
Corner of Yong Ying, Five Lotus Mountain's immortal cave. Mo Wuji's surroundings were filled with immortal lattice stones. He picked up an immortal lattice stone and followed Han Qingru's instructions to sense the energy within it. Then, he absorbed that energy to condense his immortal lattice.
The immortal lattice stone contained a dao aura that Mo Wuji found hard to capture. However, what caused Mo Wuji's expression to change was that he was actually unable to absorb any of the dao aura within the immortal lattice stone.
If he couldn't even absorb the dao aura within, how was he going to condense his immortal lattice?
After an entire day, the immortal lattice stone in Mo Wuji's hand was still the same.
Mo Wuji's heart sank. He didn't ask Han Qingru about it. He was sure that even Han Qingru didn't know what was going on. Perhaps, it had something to do with his cultivation technique. He didn't have spiritual roots, but he opened his meridians to cultivate. Perhaps in the entire universe, he was the only person who didn't have spiritual roots to cultivate to the Heavenly Immortal Stage.
Taking in a deep breath, Mo Wuji didn't continue condensing his immortal lattice. Instead, he took out a pile of intermediate grade immortal stones and started converting his immortal elemental energy.
108 meridians started circulating simultaneously, forming a huge reverse circulation path. Mo Wuji merely spent half a month to completely convert his elemental energy into immortal elemental energy.
Originally, when Mo Wuji was in the Heavenly Immortal Stage, the elemental energy within his body was already bursting. Now that it had been converted into immortal elemental energy, his power had increased by multiple folds.
After converting his elemental energy into immortal elemental energy, Mo Wuji took out the immortal lattice stones. He started to suspect that the reason why he wasn't able to condense his immortal lattice previously was because his elemental energy wasn't converted.
What left Mo Wuji disappointed was that even after converting his elemental energy into immortal elemental energy, he still wasn't able to condense his immortal lattice.
Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. He kept all the immortal lattice stones, feeling slightly disappointed.
It wasn't easy for him to dig out so many immortal lattice stones, but he couldn't even use a single one. Wasn't this a typical case of working for someone else?
What he was worried about now was whether he could climb the Immortal Seeking Staircase without condensing his immortal lattice.
Regardless of whether he could or not, he couldn't continue staying here. Mo Wuji opened the restrictions.
Han Qingru, who was cultivating, immediately stood up when she saw Mo Wuji, "Junior Brother, you've already condensed your immortal lattice?"
Mo Wuji nodded, "En, let's go and take a look at the Immortal Seeking Staircase."
