Mo Wuji hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "The two of us were just curious and came to take a look. We heard that opening the spirit costs a lot of gold coins. We don't even have enough to eat and we don't even have a single silver coin, so where would we get the gold coins? The two of us will leave now. "
The white bearded man's gaze was a little scary. Mo Wuji had an indescribable feeling that he should not stay here any longer.
The woman snorted coldly. Her gaze swept across the bag of gold coins in Mo Wuji's hand, and a trace of disgust flashed across her eyes. Obviously, she knew that Mo Wuji's bag would always have gold coins, which was why she was so disdainful and disgusted with Mo Wuji for lying.
Mo Wuji could be considered experienced, so he could naturally see the disgust in the woman's eyes. He even suspected that there was a hole in the bag in his hand. Otherwise, how could this woman's gaze penetrate his bag?
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave. Since you're here, let's go in and see if there are any spiritual roots." The white bearded man continued in a hoarse voice.
Mo Wuji calmed down. He could clearly feel that the white bearded man was not targeting him, but Yan 'Er, who was beside him. If he was here for Yan 'Er's spiritual roots, but Yan' Er clearly did not have her spiritual roots tested. Could it be that he could tell? If he was not here for Yan 'Er's spiritual roots, then what was he here for? He pulled Yan 'Er behind him and said in a serious tone, "Two sirs, the two of us do not have any gold coins, and do not wish to open the spirit now. We will take our leave."
The white bearded man laughed, "I'm not asking you to open the spirit. A test doesn't cost much, go in …"
A test doesn't cost much? Mo Wuji had some doubts in his heart. Didn't they say that the test before opening the spirit would cost at least a few hundred gold coins?
"Brother, I've heard that it costs 500 gold coins just to test it. Some people test for mortal roots, and in order to try their luck, it costs at least tens of thousands of gold coins, and they even use the lowest quality spiritual herbs. "If not for their extraordinary demeanour, Mo Wuji would have suspected that they were human traffickers.
The white bearded man laughed, "Usually, only after testing for spiritual roots do they need to consider whether to open the spirit or not. Once they have mortal roots, they will say that the Spirit Opening Tower is unable to test for spiritual roots, so they might as well tempt others to open the spirit directly. Either way, they won't lose anything. "
Mo Wuji completely understood. What opened the spirit that required tens of thousands to millions of gold coins? This was completely a money-making scheme by the Spirit Opening Tower. You only need to come and take a test. If you have mortal roots, then say that you can't be sure whether or not you have spiritual roots. You can only be sure after opening your spirit.
Since you want to open the spirit, then fine, give me the gold coins. There were even some people who had the same idea as him. They thought that the spiritual herbs used for the first opening were not good enough, and that the hidden spiritual roots were not discovered. Then, they would spend money to open the spirit a second time.
At this point, Mo Wuji was a hundred percent sure that his cheapskate dad had been cheated the first time he brought him to open his spirit.
It must be because he did not have a Spirit Root, and those fellows in the Spirit Opening Tower wanted to earn this Spirit Opening fee. In addition, Mo Guangyuan urgently needed him to cultivate, so he spent a large amount of gold to open his spirit. Of course, those who could be deceived were all rich people.
"Stop." The guard of the Spirit Opening Tower did not seem to recognize this man and woman, and similarly stopped them.
The white bearded man snorted coldly, "Who's in charge here? Get the hell out here."
The white bearded man's cold snort was not very loud, but Mo Wuji felt as though his eardrums were about to burst, and his heart was in a state of panic.
In just a few seconds, a fat middle-aged man rushed out. When he reached the entrance of the Spirit Opening Tower, he looked at the man and woman in confusion. Obviously, he did not know them either.
The man took out a jade token and said, "Bring me to the best Spirit Root Testing Room."
When the fat man saw this jade token, his hand trembled slightly, and he hurriedly said respectfully, "Yes, yes, I am the deacon in charge here, Liu Chunshan. Please follow me."
Following which, Mo Wuji felt a strong force pulling him, causing him to involuntarily follow the man and woman into the Spirit Opening Tower.
Mo Wuji's face turned ugly. He really wanted to test whether he had spiritual roots or not. However, this feeling of being forced into this place without any ability to resist made him feel very displeased.
The Spirit Opening Tower was rather spacious, and Mo Wuji saw a few people handing in gold coins. It seemed like they were here to test or open their spirits.
Liu Chunshan quickly brought them to the second level of the Spirit Opening Tower. The moment they entered the second level, Mo Wuji saw a crystal pillar that was about 3 meters tall.
"You go and take the test first, stand behind that." The white bearded man said perfunctorily, and pointed to the spot behind the crystal pillar.
Mo Wuji was very clear of his intentions. He was letting him take the test because of Yan 'Er. At this point, Mo Wuji had already guessed that this white bearded man was very optimistic about Yan 'Er's spiritual roots, but he did not know how he knew that with just one look.
Even though he had taken the test once, and knew that he did not have spiritual roots, Mo Wuji still felt a little apprehensive. He hoped that the previous test was wrong, and that he actually had spiritual roots. At this moment, he even hoped that the person who said he did not have spiritual roots was trying to cheat his cheap father of gold coins to let him take the test a second time.
Mo Wuji also knew that the possibility of this was very small.
"Young master, go and take the test." Mo Wuji's words yesterday made Yan 'Er very clear that her young master really wanted to have spiritual roots.
Mo Wuji nodded, took a deep breath, walked to the testing area, and stood on it.
A grey light flashed on the crystal pillar, and then it stopped moving.
Mo Wuji did not know how to have spiritual roots, but this crystal pillar did not have any reaction, and he knew that this was definitely not a sign of having spiritual roots.
Indeed, the white bearded man said impatiently, "The most ordinary mortal roots, you are destined to be a mortal for the rest of your life. Come down."
Mo Wuji's entire body turned cold, and he felt a little dizzy. His strong self-control allowed him to walk down the testing platform as if nothing had happened. His slightly trembling hands showed how disappointed he was at this moment. Even if it was the worst spiritual roots, why was it only mortal roots?
"Young master, it's okay even if you don't have spiritual roots, old master doesn't have spiritual roots either." Yan 'Er hurried to protect Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji pretended to be calm, and laughed, "It's okay, even if I don't have spiritual roots, I still have my hands. In the future, we will still be able to live well. "
He sighed in his heart, and there was something he did not say. Because old master didn't have spiritual roots, he was eaten by people in Rao Zhou until not even his bones were left.
The beautiful woman could not even be bothered to look at Mo Wuji with disdain. Only an ant-like mortal would have such lofty ideals.
The white bearded man did not even care about Mo Wuji, and smiled at Yan 'Er, "Little girl, you take the test."
Yan 'Er hurriedly shook her head, "I don't need to take the test, and I don't want to cultivate either. I want to leave with young master."
"Since you're here, then take the test." Following the white bearded man's words, Yan 'Er involuntarily landed on the testing area.
Mo Wuji secretly clenched his fists. He really wanted Yan 'Er to take the test, and now they were forcing Yan' Er to take the test, which made him increasingly uncomfortable. Mo Wuji slowly took in a deep breath. No matter how uncomfortable he was, in front of this man and woman, he was still as small as an ant.
The moment Yan 'Er landed on the testing platform, in just a few seconds, the crystal pillar suddenly exploded with a green light. Very soon, this green light rushed to the top of the crystal pillar, and was only a foot away from the top. The green light was gentle and bright, like a green rainbow.
"Top grade spiritual roots!" The white bearded man and the beautiful woman cried out at almost the same time, and Mo Wuji saw a fanatical look in their eyes.
Indeed, they came for Yan 'Er, and Mo Wuji felt a sense of helplessness in his heart.
