"Sect Leader Mo." As soon as Mo Wuji came out, Wei Zidao proactively stood up, cupped his fists in greeting, and his tone was very polite.

Mo Wuji could tell at a glance that under the effect of his four Zhiqing Pills, Wei Zidao's strength had recovered significantly. At least now, Wei Zidao had a faint aura of an Immortal Emperor.

"I have been busy with my little nest, and have neglected Brother Zidao. Please sit down, Brother Zidao." Mo Wuji cupped his fists and invited Wei Zidao to sit down again.

He would absolutely not take out any more Zhiqing Pills even if Wei Zidao asked for them again. No matter what price Wei Zidao offered, he would not give him any more Zhiqing Pills.

To be honest, his use of four Zhiqing Pills was already tilting the balance of the Peaceful Vine Mountain. Letting Wei Zidao's strength become the strongest in Peaceful Vine Mountain, and then giving him more Zhiqing Pills, would put him in danger.

Having roamed the Immortal World for so many years, Mo Wuji wouldn't have survived until today if he didn't understand this simple principle.

Wei Zidao knew very well that it was unlikely he could ask Mo Wuji for more Zhiqing Pills. Precisely because he knew Mo Wuji wouldn't give him any more Zhiqing Pills, he didn't plan to go all out when Mo Wuji was preparing to keep Pang Hong.

He didn't regret this even after it was over. Mo Wuji had given him four Zhiqing Pills, and he had given Mo Wuji ten miles of land and helped Mo Wuji out of a predicament, which offset each other. Even if he had gone all out to help Mo Wuji deal with Pang Hong at that time, this Sect Leader Mo would definitely not have taken out any more Zhiqing Pills.

Like Pang Hong, he also sensed that Mo Wuji's strength shouldn't be very high. Mo Wuji wouldn't allow anyone's strength to recover to the point of absolute control over Peaceful Vine Mountain if his own strength wasn't that great.

People always have a bit of luck in their hearts. Even knowing that Mo Wuji wouldn't take out any more Zhiqing Pills, Wei Zidao still came.

"Brother Mo, you are too kind. Those four Zhiqing Pills helped me immensely. I came here today specifically to thank you," Wei Zidao said with a smile.

Mo Wuji also smiled, "Brother Zidao, let's not stand on ceremony. In Peaceful Vine Mountain, if we join forces, Pang Hong won't dare to do anything. But if we don't, we will both suffer."

"That's right." Wei Zidao agreed. "Although I know it's hard to ask, I still want to take a chance and ask Brother Mo if you have any more Zhiqing Pills? If you do, no matter what conditions you propose, I can consider them."

If Mo Wuji said ten miles of land could be exchanged for four Zhiqing Pills, he would immediately give Mo Wuji another twenty miles. Not to mention twenty miles of land, even if Mo Wuji asked him to withdraw from the Immortal Hunting grounds, as long as he had Zhiqing Pills, everything would be fine.

Mo Wuji said apologetically, "I don't have many Zhiqing Pills myself. I need to keep some for self-protection in Peaceful Vine Mountain. So, I don't have any to spare for now. If I can get more in the future, I will consider trading with Brother Zidao first."

Even though he had guessed this would be the outcome, and even though he knew Mo Wuji probably had other means to protect himself without the need for Zhiqing Pills, Wei Zidao was still very disappointed. Fortunately, Mo Wuji's implied meaning was that he still had some Zhiqing Pills, but they required certain trading conditions. Wei Zidao didn't ask about these conditions, but he could vaguely guess some of them. He wouldn't agree to them unless he was completely out of options.

"Since that's the case, then I won't force it. I wonder if Sect Leader Mo is interested in taking a trip to the Sword Qi River? Recently, Pang Hong and Shang He Gao seem to have joined forces, and they have some methods to collect a large amount of river water from the Sword Qi River. If they manage to get enough Sword Qi River water to restore their strength, it won't be good for either of us." As a late-stage Immortal Emperor, Wei Zidao was very willing to be flexible.

Mo Wuji had already wanted to go to the Sword Qi River to take a look. He had been busy building his own little nest and hadn't had time to go yet.

Now that Wei Zidao was inviting him, he said without hesitation, "Since that's the case, then let's go take a look now, shall we?"

"Good." Wei Zidao stood up happily. He greatly admired Mo Wuji's attitude of acting on his words.

……

If you were to ask the cultivators of Peaceful Vine Mountain in Sword Prison what the most terrifying place was, it would undoubtedly be the Sword Qi River. Sword Qi crisscrossed within the Sword Qi River, and one wrong move could lead to the destruction of both body and soul. Not to mention going into the river, even getting close to the Sword Qi River would bring endless troubles.

If you were to ask the cultivators of Peaceful Vine Mountain in Sword Prison what the most beloved place was, it would still be the Sword Qi River. It was precisely because of the existence of the Sword Qi River that Peaceful Vine Mountain had its stability. At the same time, the water from the Sword Qi River could not only heal the physical body torn by sword Qi but also restore the soul and primordial spirit torn by sword Qi.

Therefore, no matter how much they disliked the Sword Qi River, countless people still secretly went to the Sword Qi River, wanting to collect some of its water.

As for those who went to the Sword Qi River openly, they were only Pang Hong of the Devil's Hand, Wei Zidao of Immortal Hunting, and Shang He Gao of Righteous Qi Mountain.

Each of these three had a group of people under their command, and these people took turns going to the Sword Qi River to fetch water. Fei Ling defected from the Devil's Hand precisely because Pang Hong kept sending him to the Sword Qi River. If he didn't escape, he would have sent his life to the Sword Qi River sooner or later.

Peaceful Vine Mountain was a place completely interwoven with vines. No matter where you went in this place, there were all kinds of vines intertwined together.

These vines were like sheds built up, without any rules, connected in different sizes. No one knew where the source came from, nor where they extended to. All they knew was that these vines grew from the ground and looked similar to tree roots.

"Once we leave Peaceful Vine Mountain and walk for another ten or so miles, we'll be at the Sword Qi River." While winding through the vines, Wei Zidao introduced the area to Mo Wuji.

As he spoke, the two had already walked out of Peaceful Vine Mountain.

As soon as they stepped out of Peaceful Vine Mountain, the sword Qi became denser. Wei Zidao didn't say anything more. With his strength, he could block this sword Qi, but even if he could, it was best not to speak at this time. Not speaking would conserve his spiritual will and immortal essence.

Mo Wuji suddenly stopped, looking suspiciously at Peaceful Vine Mountain behind him, frowning without speaking.

"What's wrong? Sect Leader Mo?" Seeing Mo Wuji stop and frown, Wei Zidao, who didn't want to speak originally, asked in confusion.

"Brother Zidao, please wait a moment." After Mo Wuji finished speaking, he turned around and entered Peaceful Vine Mountain again, then came out again.

Seeing Mo Wuji's strange behavior, Wei Zidao also stopped.

"It's nothing, let's continue to the Sword Qi River." Mo Wuji waved his hand, laughed, and said.

He wondered if he was becoming paranoid. The moment he came out of Peaceful Vine Mountain, he felt as if his whole body had lightened up.

This feeling was too strange. He should have felt safe in Peaceful Vine Mountain, but it was actually outside Peaceful Vine Mountain where the dangerous sword Qi was located. He actually felt relieved after leaving Peaceful Vine Mountain, which was absurd.

Because he felt it was strange, Mo Wuji entered Peaceful Vine Mountain a second time and then came out a second time. However, after coming out of Peaceful Vine Mountain the second time, the feeling of relief suddenly disappeared.

"Did Sect Leader Mo discover something?" Wei Zidao still didn't quite believe Mo Wuji's words.

Mo Wuji smiled, "Perhaps I'm being too cautious. After all, I've been chased by several old fellows before, and I've developed a vigilant habit, which has made me a bit neurotic..."

Mo Wuji paused again.

Could his feelings be wrong? When he came out of the God Domain Nest and entered the Skyrend Immortal City, he had the same feeling of danger. He didn't pay attention to it at the time, and as a result, he was almost besieged by several old bastards in Dayi Immortal City. In the end, he lost Great Desolation and Han Qingru was captured and sent to Sword Prison, almost dying.

When he came out of Peaceful Vine Mountain just now, he felt a sense of relief, as if Peaceful Vine Mountain was actually the more dangerous place.

Mo Wuji took a deep breath. He had suffered this loss once, and he would never suffer it a second time. No matter what, after returning from the Sword Qi River this time, he would see if there was any way to leave Peaceful Vine Mountain.

This place was ultimately a bit strange. He couldn't feel it the second time, most likely because he had gotten used to it. The scariest thing about some things was getting used to them.

Mo Wuji had something on his mind, and Wei Zidao naturally felt it. Since Mo Wuji didn't say anything, he didn't want to ask. Everyone had their own secrets, and there was nothing wrong with that.

Just like the information Mo Wuji had received, the sword Qi became denser and more powerful with each step they took.

Wei Zidao was a late-stage Immortal Emperor and had been in Sword Prison for so many years, so he had long gained experience and methods to resist the tearing of the sword Qi here. While resisting the sword Qi, he also paid attention to observing Mo Wuji.

Wei Zidao had always been somewhat suspicious of Mo Wuji's strength, but Mo Wuji's performance was very strange. According to Mo Wuji's spiritual rhythm fluctuations, Mo Wuji's cultivation seemed very poor, even worse than a Heavenly Immortal, and it wouldn't be wrong to say he was a mortal. But when Mo Wuji took action, he felt that Mo Wuji's strength was not low, but it shouldn't be at the Immortal King level.

And Mo Wuji's divine ability, that halberd of the long river, far exceeded ordinary Immortal Kings. With so many strange things concentrated on Mo Wuji alone, he couldn't figure Mo Wuji out.

What was the most terrifying thing for a strong person like him? That was people or things that he couldn't figure out.

"Sect Leader Mo, are you a body refiner?" After the two had walked for seven or eight miles, Wei Zidao finally noticed Mo Wuji's uniqueness.

The dense sword Qi seemed to slide off Mo Wuji's body. Even some of the sword Qi that entered Mo Wuji's body didn't seem to cause much damage to him.

Mo Wuji smiled and didn't answer Wei Zidao's question. Instead, he pointed to a place not far away and said, "Brother Zidao, it seems that Pang Hong and Shang He Gao have indeed found a way to collect a large amount of water from the Sword Qi River."

Wei Zidao then noticed Pang Hong and Shang He Gao in the distance. The two were working together to pull a wooden bucket out of the Sword Qi River. That wooden bucket was not small, and even if it was only one-third full of Sword Qi River water, it would be a considerable amount.
