One incense stick later, Mo Wuji directly severed the Yuan Force in his meridians that contained an obscure aura. Before this strand of Yuan Force could dissipate, the Azure Clothed Heart burst forth, burning the surrounding space.

Mo Wuji's face was slightly pale. Cutting off his own Yuan Force was equivalent to cutting off his vitality, which was somewhat damaging to himself. However, he felt extremely happy and relieved. He also felt that his mind was much clearer, and he understood things better.

The decision he made in the Starry Sky Hall before was a bit muddled. Fortunately, Du Guhongjie helped him improve the plan and successfully left the Starry Sky Hall.

The flying ship continued to fly, and Mo Wuji took out Yan Yangdong's ring.

Whether he took this ring or not, he would offend the Yan family anyway, so Mo Wuji wouldn't be foolish enough not to take it. Yan Yangdong was no ordinary True Lake Realm ninth level cultivator. Not to mention that he was a disciple of the Yan family, but just his move of splitting halberd shadows was worth exploring his ring.

The restriction on Yan Yangdong's ring was easily broken by Mo Wuji, and piles of things appeared before Mo Wuji's eyes.

Mo Wuji was secretly amazed. It could be said that Yan Yangdong's wealth was much greater than that of an average True God Realm cultivator. Not to mention the piles of spirit stones, even the worst of the pills were Grade 3 spirit pills, and most were Grade 4 or higher. As for the spiritual herbs and refining materials, Mo Wuji skipped them directly.

His gaze fell on the few cultivation technique scrolls and four jade boxes. Generally speaking, the best things were stored in the jade boxes. Mo Wuji first checked the cultivation technique scrolls, and he was quickly disappointed. The level of these cultivation techniques was not low, either Profound Grade Rare or Earth Grade or higher. But this was of no use to Mo Wuji.

He didn't find the splitting halberd shadows he wanted. Fortunately, he was somewhat comforted by the fact that there was also a flying ship in Yan Yangdong's ring, and the level of the flying ship was not worse than the circular flying ship he was currently riding.

Mo Wuji could only open the first jade box. Two Heavenly Grade spirit stones lay quietly in the jade box, causing Mo Wuji to be shocked. This was what he liked the most. Heavenly Grade spirit stones, each one was very valuable. The value of Heavenly Grade spirit stones was not only used for cultivation.

Carefully taking the two Heavenly Grade spirit stones for himself, Mo Wuji opened the second jade box. There was a familiar crescent moon key in the jade box.

Mo Wuji immediately picked up the crescent moon key. He finally understood why Yan Yangdong was with Jing Danwu. He thought Jing Danwu was capable, and had hooked up with a wealthy husband. Now it seemed that Yan Yangdong was here for the crescent moon key.

Jing Danwu, this idiot woman, kicked away Pang Qi, who loved her with his life, and went to cling to Yan Yangdong, who only regarded her as a tool.

Mo Wuji suddenly felt that he was not qualified to say that Jing Danwu was an idiot. If Jing Danwu was an idiot, he was the same. Back on Earth, didn't he avoid the woman who liked him and always opposed Xia Ruoyin?

Mo Wuji shook his head, discarding these thoughts. He still didn't know if the crescent moon key in his hand belonged to Pang Qi's family, anyway, he would leave it to Pang Qi later. He then opened the third jade box. What made Mo Wuji stunned was that the third jade box was also a crescent moon key.

It seemed that the Jing family's crescent moon key and Pang Qi's crescent moon key were all here. These two crescent moon keys didn't look like fakes. Mo Wuji's divine sense couldn't detect any secrets in them at all.

Putting the two crescent moon keys together, they did form a full moon. However, Mo Wuji always felt that this full moon was a bit incomplete. He couldn't say exactly where.

Following that, Mo Wuji directly opened the fourth jade box. When the jade box opened, a familiar full moon appeared in front of Mo Wuji.

This...

Mo Wuji quickly put the previous two crescent moon keys together again. Wasn't this full moon the thing formed by the two crescent moon keys?

Soon Mo Wuji confirmed that this full moon was formed by merging the two crescent moon keys together. And it was very consistent, without any impropriety or abruptness. If the two crescent moon keys were a bit incomplete when put together, then this full moon was complete to almost perfection.

After playing with it for a while, Mo Wuji put these things away. He suddenly understood why the first item to be auctioned by the Seeking Star Merchant Association was a travelogue. Because in that travelogue, there was the relationship between the Half Moon Immortal Palace and the Half Moon Key.

It was definitely not accidental that this thing was taken out for auction. It must be the Yan family wanted to confirm whether the Half Moon Key was obtained by him. In other words, the Half Moon Key was very important to the Yan family. It was very likely that the Half Moon Key was connected to the Half Moon Immortal Palace.

Fortunately, he didn't open Yan Yangdong's ring first, otherwise, facing that travelogue, he really wouldn't want to give it up.

The Yan family was one of the three major families of Star Emperor Mountain after all. Seeing how much they valued the Half Moon Key, it meant that the Half Moon Key in his hand was not simple.

The more not simple, the more Mo Wuji didn't want to leave the thing to the Yan family.

The matter of the Half Moon Immortal Palace was put aside first. His shortcoming was that he didn't have any rod techniques. Now that he had finally obtained a rod technique, he had to take a look first.

The rod technique that Mo Wuji bought was not a inheritance crystal ball, but an ancient picture album. The picture album was sealed by a restriction, and only four words could be seen on the outside, Brahma Sky Rod Shadow (梵天棍影, Fantian Gunying).

Carefully breaking the restriction on the picture album, Mo Wuji opened the picture album.

Immediately he was stunned. This was not a heavenly grade technique at all, this was simply a scam. He had bought a heavenly grade technique after all, but there was only one move on it. Moreover, this move only had a name.

The specific means and methods of this move were not mentioned at all. Besides the name, there were only the cultivation formulas for the operation of each Yuan Force. In other words, this was a relatively low-level Yuan Force operation trick, teaching you how to use Yuan Force.

The name had nothing to do with Brahma, it was called Next Rod (下一棍, Xia Yi Gun).

One million three hundred and fifty thousand contribution points, and he actually bought such a thing back. Mo Wuji was very speechless, but he couldn't go back to find trouble with the Seeking Star Merchant Building. There was no problem of forgery in this thing. Based on the vicissitudes and simplicity of the years on this picture album, it was known that this thing had gone through countless years.

If it was bought with less than ten thousand contribution points, Mo Wuji might have angrily thrown it aside. But he was really reluctant to throw away something worth one million three hundred and fifty thousand contribution points.

Mo Wuji bit the bullet and watched for a while. After only half an incense stick, he was attracted to it. This was definitely not a trick to transport force, this was the most top-level rod technique, or the most top-level Yuan Force use method.

Just like his Star Shift Fourth Layer Cyclone Shift, which could convert power in an instant, the force of this rod technique could be transported through various means, and the rod could be moved from incredible angles. In other words, it was clear that the other party saw that your rod was coming down on their head, but when the rod reached their eyes, they would find that the rod coming down on their head did not exist, or it was a rod shadow. The real rod had already hit you from an unimaginable angle.

Next Rod, that was what it meant.

That was that you would never know where my next rod would come from, you would always be on guard against my next rod.

No wonder there were no specific methods and ways, because even the rod user himself didn't know where the next rod would start.

Mo Wuji's heart was pounding. At this moment, the status of Brahma Sky Rod Shadow in his heart even surpassed Star Shift. Although Star Shift was a divine ability, it was incomplete. And Brahma Sky Rod Shadow was complete. Mo Wuji liked this kind of rod technique, Next Rod, even more.

He didn't like step-by-step techniques. Such techniques were traceable, and Next Rod was untraceable at all.

As long as he could figure out the rod moving formulas and Yuan Force operation methods in this technique, he would be the controller of the Next Rod. As for these techniques, spend time cultivating them.

...

At the same time, in the Star Lord's Hall of Star Emperor Mountain.

A middle-aged man sat in the chair in the middle with his eyes closed in contemplation. Below him stood an old man. This man was the Star Lord of Star Emperor Mountain, Chi Tong. Although there were many forces and factions in Star Emperor Mountain, no one dared to disrespect him directly as the Star Lord.

After a while, Chi Tong opened his eyes and asked, "You said that the Yan family's patriarch, Yan Qiren, and the Star Cloud Hall's hall master, Yan Pingzhi, have both arrived at the Starry Sky Hall?"

"Yes, Star Lord," the old man nodded in response.

"Do you think Yan Qiren and Yan Pingzhi would appear in public for a family disciple?" Chi Tong asked calmly.

The old man bowed and replied, "This old servant thinks it's impossible. So this old servant has already investigated, and Yan Yangdong's inheritance came from Three Bottle Daoist..."

"Three Bottle Daoist?" Chi Tong, who had been calm, suddenly stood up. After repeating it, he recovered and slowly sat down again.

The old man replied, "That's right, it's Three Bottle Daoist (三瓶道人, Sanping Daoren), who obtained a crescent moon key sixteen hundred years ago and then disappeared. But the splitting halberd shadows that Yan Yangdong used had nothing to do with Three Bottle Daoist. This matter was still revealed from within the Yan family. After Yan Yangdong fell, the Yan family checked Yan Yangdong's cave and only then did they know that he had obtained Three Bottle Daoist's inheritance."

"That means he has a crescent moon key on him?" A blue light appeared in Chi Tong's eyes.

The old man shook his head. "I'm afraid it's more than that. After Yan Yangdong was killed and the Jing family was investigated, it was only then that he had at least three crescent moon keys on him. In addition to Three Bottle Daoist's crescent moon key, there was also one from the Jing family, and another one that the Jing family snatched from a rogue cultivator."

"In other words, after Yan Yangdong was killed, these three crescent moon keys are all on Mo Wuji (莫无忌), who just stepped onto the Starry Sky List?" Chi Tong's brows were furrowed as he spoke.

"That's right. At this moment, not only the Yan family knows about this, but also the Xia family, the Mu family, and many other sects, as well as the ten halls of Star Emperor Mountain, basically know about this."

Speaking of this, the old man sighed, "So at this moment, everyone and every force is wanted Mo Wuji, with the excuse that Mo Wuji cheated the Xia family's five hundred thousand contribution points and violated the Starry Sky Hall's principle of keeping promises. Even just knowing Mo Wuji's whereabouts is a reward of one million contribution points."
