Mo Wuji hurried to keep their storage rings and followed behind Lou Si.
Lou Si's speed was extremely fast and in half a day, she brought Mo Wuji into a bustling city square. There were a few big words hanging outside the city square: Heaven's Beyond Corridor City Square.
Before entering the city square, Lou Si took out a black cloth to cover her face. From the looks of it, she knew that she looked like a disaster.
Mo Wuji looked at the people walking to and fro in the city square and was shocked to find out that there were demons, humans, devils and even some races that he didn't recognise.
Before he could ask Lou Si, two cultivators who were arguing suddenly started fighting. The surrounding people hurried to give way and soon, that human cultivator was killed. The other demon cultivator grabbed the human cultivator's storage ring and left the place.
During the entire process, no one stood out to say anything and no one bothered about it.
"Lou Si, didn't you say that I can't come to the Heaven's Beyond Corridor? Why did you bring me here? Why is this a city square and why are there all kinds of people here? "Mo Wuji asked cautiously.
Lou Si didn't mind as she walked into the city square and said softly, "What I meant was that you can't go to the human or demon race regions. This is the Heaven's Beyond Corridor City Square and it doesn't matter when or what race you are from, you can come here. Everyone only has one motive for coming here and that is to trade. Did you see the two of them fighting just now? That was because they couldn't come to an agreement. "
"If they can't come to an agreement, they can still kill people?" Mo Wuji sweated profusely.
Lou Si sneered, "This is a place where the strong rule and the weak are prey to the strong. However, it's rare to see people killing people like today because most people would escape if they couldn't win. Even if there were cases where people killed each other, it would only happen between the foreign races. "
"If that's the case, who would dare to trade here?" Mo Wuji was even more confused.
Lou Si said calmly, "Doing business in the Heaven's Beyond City Square requires credibility. For example, if you forcefully buy or sell in the city square for more than three times, you will not be allowed to enter the city square. There was also a surveillance screen and it showed the people who forcefully bought or sold in the past. Many people would look at your credibility before doing business. Under normal circumstances, everyone would go to a fixed stall or a commercial building to trade. It was the easiest for problems to occur if they traded casually on the roadside.
Once there was a problem, those who survived or stayed behind should go to the market square trading management office to explain what exactly the problem was. If you don't give an explanation, you'll run away just like that Demon Clan cultivator. Basically, you won't be allowed to enter the market anymore. "
Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Since I can't go to the Human Race World or the Demon Race World, I can stay here right?"
Lou Si said faintly, "It's useless. This is a city square and if you stay here for more than three days, you will be asked to leave. Unless you had a fixed property here, in other words, you had a fixed commercial building and a fixed stall. There were fixed commercial buildings or stalls here that ordinary people couldn't afford. Even if they could afford it, they wouldn't be able to keep it. You might say come back in three days. Are you just going to go in and out like this? Not cultivating? If we don't cultivate, the Heaven's Beyond Corridor wouldn't be so famous. "
"What do you mean by that last sentence?" Mo Wuji asked in confusion.
Lou Si explained, "The reason why the Heaven's Beyond Corridor is famous is because this place produces something called green crystal shards. This thing contains a strong dao aura of the Heavenly Dao. If you use this to cultivate, the effects would be much more beneficial than using peak grade immortal crystals. Thus, if you stay in the Heaven's Beyond Corridor and survive, your cultivation level would rise steadily. "
Just as Mo Wuji was about to ask what green crystals were, he saw a man trading with a stall owner. That man actually brought out a Hundred Meridians Leafless Fruit.
The Hundred Meridians Leafless Fruit was a Tier 8 immortal fruit and it was a rare Tier 8 immortal fruit. In the Immortal World, this immortal fruit would usually only appear in auctions. Now, it was casually appearing in a stall on the street.
Mo Wuji stopped. He heard that the man with the Hundred Meridians Leafless Fruit wanted to trade for an Immortal Saliva Pill. He had the Immortal Saliva Pill and it was a healing pill. Its effects were much worse than the Green Bodhi Pill that he just gave to Lou Si. This was merely a Tier 5 healing pill. There was no need to talk about one pill. Even an entire vase of it wouldn't be able to trade for a Hundred Meridians Leafless Fruit.
The Hundred Meridians Leafless Fruit was a rare Tier 8 immortal fruit. It could be used to concoct the Immortal Channel Nirvana Pill. In the Immortal World, the Immortal Channel Nirvana Pill could be said to be the best pill for healing spirit channels. Its value was completely incomparable to the Tier 5 Immortal Saliva Pill.
"I can at most give you two Cleansing Solitary Pills. You're still lacking a little to exchange for the Immortal Saliva Pill," The stall owner said indifferently.
Mo Wuji almost spat out his saliva. A Tier 8 Hundred Meridians Leafless Fruit could actually be exchanged for two Tier 4 healing pills, the Cleansing Solitary Pill. If someone dared to say such words in front of him, he would have given that person a kick.
What left Mo Wuji puzzled was that the fella with the Hundred Meridians Leafless Fruit was still considering. It seemed like two Cleansing Solitary Pills wasn't out of the question.
"Wait …" Mo Wuji wanted to step forward and speak. He had the Immortal Saliva Pill on him. Since that stall owner wasn't willing to trade, he could use one Immortal Saliva Pill to exchange for the Hundred Meridians Leafless Fruit. Only a fool wouldn't do such a profitable deal.
"Hurry up and leave." Before Mo Wuji could go over to trade, Lou Si pulled Mo Wuji and left.
Even though Mo Wuji was slightly puzzled, he didn't say anything. Lou Si had been here longer than him, so she was more familiar with the situation here.
After they reached a secluded corner, Lou Si asked softly, "Are you intending to trade for his Hundred Meridians Leafless Fruit?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully.
Lou Si sighed and said, "If you really call that fella out to trade, then you're dead meat. Firstly, you've offended that stall owner. To be able to set up a stall here, there aren't many simple people. Secondly, if others find out that you have the Immortal Saliva Pill on you, with your strength, there would probably be a bunch of people who would rather not come to the city square to snatch your things away. Also, that Green Bodhi Pill that you gave me previously is priceless. There aren't many of them in the entire Heaven's Beyond Corridor. Thus, you mustn't leak it out. If you do, only death would await you. "
"What do you mean?" Mo Wuji felt that there was something strange about the Heaven's Beyond Corridor.
Lou Si explained, "This place doesn't lack green crystals, rare ores or rare immortal herbs. What it lacks the most are smiths and pill refiners. Moreover, there would be a huge battle here every once in a while. All sorts of healing pills and magic treasures would be scarce. Even the slightly famous pill refiners would mysteriously disappear. "
"Where do those rare peak grade ores and immortal herbs come from?" Mo Wuji asked anxiously.
"From the Cosmos Wall." Lou Si answered calmly. She didn't wait for Mo Wuji to ask any further before continuing, "The Cosmos Wall is above the battlefield that you saw previously. Every two to three years, an endless passageway would appear above the battlefield. No one knows what that passage is. All we know is that at the end of the passage, there would be endless green crystal fragments, various peak grade immortal herbs, high grade smithing materials and even peak grade magic treasures. "
"Those peak immortal herbs and materials you mentioned, they came from the Cosmos Wall?" Mo Wuji asked in astonishment.
"That's right." Lou Si nodded, "Every time the Cosmos Wall opens, the stone walls would be filled with countless peak immortal herbs and green crystal fragments. Every time this happens, cultivators of all races would charge into the Cosmos Wall to fight for these immortal herbs and treasures. "
Mo Wuji went silent. After some time, he asked, "Then does anyone know where this passage leads to?"
"No one can pass through it. All we know is that after a certain period of time, this passage would be closed. Everyone inside would be swept out and thrown into the desert wasteland battlefield. That desert wasteland battlefield is also like this. Every time the Cosmos Wall closes, there would be a crazy battle. Both sides would fight for the treasures in the Cosmos Wall … "
Mo Wuji interrupted Lou Si and asked, "The battle I saw and your injuries, was it because of the appearance of the Cosmos Wall? Was it because everyone was fighting for the immortal herbs and other treasures?"
"No." Lou Si shook her head, "Because the Cosmos Wall sometimes appears once a year, sometimes once every two to three years. Later on, when the Cosmos Wall didn't appear, both sides would fight for resources. What you saw earlier was a huge battle for resources. "
Noticing that Mo Wuji didn't seem to understand, Lou Si explained, "After the Cosmos Wall opens, no matter who you are, no matter how many things you snatch in the Cosmos Wall, as long as you leave the battlefield alive, those things would belong to you. However, you would need to pay a small portion to the region you live in as a fee. Every war would be a time when both sides would fight for resources. The spoils of war would need to be split among the various regions. Actually, many immortal herbs and ores are very valuable. In reality, the most valuable thing in the Heaven's Beyond Corridor is the green crystal. "
Mo Wuji finally understood. To put it bluntly, such a war was a war of attrition when the upper echelons had insufficient cultivation resources.
This was the second time Mo Wuji heard about the green crystal, and he suddenly thought of the crystal used by Da Huang. Wasn't that also a cyan crystal? Could that be a green crystal? As he thought of this, Mo Wuji hurriedly took out a storage ring. His spiritual will directly tore open the restrictions and swept in.
When a faint green crystal appeared in Mo Wuji's spiritual will, Mo Wuji's heart was in ecstasy. This was the crystal that he needed. Not only was this crystal used by Da Huang, it was also extremely beneficial for his cultivation. Even though his cultivation speed using immortal crystals wasn't fast in the Immortal World, if he had these crystals, he was confident that he could step into the Immortal King Stage in the shortest time possible.
The Heaven's Beyond Corridor was truly a good place. This was the first time Mo Wuji felt that this place wasn't bad.
(That's all for today. Good night my friends!)
