Old Five is a Goose.

Chapter 477: The Bursting Flames

"Twenty-one thousand immortal lattice stones." Mo Wuji unhesitatingly raised the price.

"Good, good, good..." The Golden Immortal man in the private room repeated the word "good" three times, and then there was no sound. But even the most insensitive person could feel the overwhelming, suppressed murderous intent. One could imagine how deeply this Golden Immortal hated Mo Wuji. If he weren't still abiding by some rules, he probably would have already taken action.

In Yongying Corner, more than two million high-grade immortal crystals were definitely a sky-high price. Since this Golden Immortal cultivator was no longer raising the price, naturally no one else would continue to bid. Mo Wuji undeniably obtained this fragmented, crescent-shaped halberd blade.

After settling the immortal lattice stones, Mo Wuji immediately stood up. Everyone knew that Mo Wuji probably wanted to leave.

Many cultivators also prepared to stand up. Mo Wuji had purchased several treasures and still had so many immortal lattice stones. If they could get a little bit, it would definitely be a windfall.

Li Yue glanced at Mo Wuji, sighed inwardly, and continued, "Next to be auctioned is a fourth-grade immortal artifact, the Illusion Haze Gong. This immortal artifact is different from other immortal artifacts. It is a complete immortal artifact. In battle, it can transform the environment and enhance control over the enemy. The starting price is seven hundred thousand middle-grade immortal crystals, with each bid increasing by no less than ten thousand middle-grade immortal crystals..."

"Seven hundred and fifty thousand middle-grade immortal crystals." As soon as this fourth-grade Illusion Haze Gong appeared, someone immediately made a bid. Several cultivators who were preparing to follow Mo Wuji to leave also retreated.

"Three thousand immortal lattice stones, plus the alchemy furnace I just bought, plus one hundred and eighty thousand middle-grade immortal crystals." Mo Wuji, who was already prepared to leave, stopped again and suddenly made a bid.

Seeing Mo Wuji stay and make a bid, everyone knew that Mo Wuji was going to offend someone again. Someone who could afford nearly one hundred thousand high-grade immortal crystals was naturally not a small force.

Li Yue said helplessly, "Fellow Daoist, bidding here can only be done with middle-grade or higher immortal crystals, or immortal lattice stones. Alchemy furnaces cannot be converted into immortal crystals."

"Ah..." Mo Wuji let out an "ah" and looked at the alchemy furnace suspended on the auction stage with some reluctance, his eyes seeming to show some regret.

"Eight hundred thousand middle-grade immortal crystals." Even though Li Yue said that the alchemy furnace could not be valued, the cultivator who bid seven hundred and fifty thousand middle-grade immortal crystals continued to raise his price.

Mo Wuji's image as a reckless fool made it clear to even the most insensitive person that Mo Wuji probably didn't have any more immortal lattice stones. If he had immortal lattice stones, with his temperament, he would not hesitate to throw down ten thousand immortal lattice stones.

This guy even dared to slap a Golden Immortal's face, so other cultivators probably didn't count for anything in his eyes.

Sure enough, after Li Yue spoke, and the cultivator raised the price to eight hundred thousand middle-grade immortal crystals, Mo Wuji finally turned around and left with a helpless expression.

This time, many cultivators who wanted to follow Mo Wuji to leave stopped. The Golden Immortal cultivator would definitely chase after Mo Wuji after he left. And their purpose in following was nothing more than to get some immortal lattice stones. Based on Mo Wuji's final performance, it was clear that Mo Wuji should only have three thousand immortal lattice stones. Although three thousand immortal lattice stones were not a small amount, it was not enough to make some forces besiege Mo Wuji.

After all, someone who could take out so many immortal lattice stones would definitely have some power behind them.

As for whether Mo Wuji's attempt to use the alchemy furnace to bid for the Illusion Haze Gong was a deliberate trick, apart from a very few people who suspected it, most people would not have any doubts. Such a reckless fool looked like he really liked that Illusion Haze Gong from his expression. If he had immortal lattice stones, he certainly would not have given up on that Illusion Haze Gong. Maybe he even liked the thrill of bidding against others.

Now that he gave up helplessly after bidding once, it should be because he didn't have enough immortal lattice stones.

...

"Junior Brother Mo, are we going out now?" As soon as they exited the auction house door, Han Qingru asked.

Her understanding of Mo Wuji far exceeded that of the other cultivators in the auction hall. She knew very well that Mo Wuji was not a fool, nor was he an ignorant person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to escape from Hundred Flowers Manor with her while still a Land Immortal. The reason why Junior Brother Mo was so crazy at the auction was to enhance his own strength.

As for Mo Wuji's final performance, it was definitely to reduce the number of cultivators who would besiege him. In fact, so far, she thought Mo Wuji had done a good job.

As for Mo Wuji wanting those few things, he would inevitably offend that Golden Immortal powerhouse no matter how tactful he was. Since it was going to be an offense either way, offending as an arrogant, reckless fool was the best choice. Such an offense could prevent others from being certain about Mo Wuji's origins. Secondly, Mo Wuji's final performance would make it clear to everyone that Mo Wuji left not because he had bought everything, but because he had run out of immortal lattice stones.

"No, going out now will be a free-for-all. Let's go to the rest stop first." Mo Wuji said without hesitation.

He had bought things, so naturally he had to integrate them before going out to increase his strength. Otherwise, there was no need for him to come to this auction.

Mo Wuji believed that even if that Golden Immortal powerhouse wanted to kill him, he would not act immediately. That guy would at least investigate his background, which would take at least two days. With two days, he should be able to complete his Heavenly Fire Nirvana, right?

In fact, Mo Wuji's guess was correct. After seeing Mo Wuji enter the rest stop, the Golden Immortal cultivator who followed him let out a cold snort and immediately sent out a flying sword message.

In just a moment, several Celestial Immortal cultivators quickly arrived and surrounded the inn where Mo Wuji was staying. Whether Mo Wuji came out or not, in the eyes of this Golden Immortal, Mo Wuji was already a dish on his plate.

Mo Wuji didn't care. He entered the rest stop, and one day was enough. He didn't intend to use this rest stop to hide. He knew that this rest stop wouldn't be able to protect them for long. If that Golden Immortal cultivator didn't have the means to cause trouble in the rest stop, he wouldn't dare to threaten the auction house.

As soon as he entered the rest stop, Mo Wuji told Tong Ye and Han Qingru not to leave the rest stop. He chose to go into seclusion.

After setting up several layers of restrictions in the room, and arranging a spirit concealment restriction and several binding arrays, Mo Wuji sacrificed the Azure Heart.

The Azure Heart transformed into a thumb-sized flame jumping in Mo Wuji's palm. Mo Wuji opened his hand, and the Nirvana Extreme Fire Essence appeared in his other hand.

As soon as the Nirvana Extreme Fire Essence came out, the Azure Heart flame suddenly expanded to nearly ten feet high with a "boom." Mo Wuji felt the frenzied, scorching heat. Before Mo Wuji could send the Nirvana Extreme Fire Essence into the flame, the flame rolled over and directly took the Nirvana Extreme Fire Essence away.

The next moment, the flame was like it had been doused with kerosene, rampaging wildly. Even though the Azure Heart was Mo Wuji's flame, the terrifying rising temperature made Mo Wuji tremble with fear. He suspected that if the flame deviated even slightly, he would be dead.

The Azure Heart rushed out of Mo Wuji's palm and kept rolling and jumping in the air. Its color was constantly changing, as if countless kaleidoscopes were piled together and ignited, flashing wildly.

"Crack, crack, crack!" The level of the binding array arranged by Mo Wuji was not low, but under the rolling of the Azure Heart, it was still constantly burned into nothingness.

The only thing Mo Wuji could do was to constantly add binding arrays and hide the terrifying aura of the Azure Heart.

Fortunately, the Azure Heart didn't want to burn Mo Wuji, otherwise, even if Mo Wuji's strength increased several times, it probably wouldn't be enough for the Azure Heart to burn.

Tong Ye and Han Qingru, who were waiting for Mo Wuji outside the room, looked at each other. They could only feel that a violent aura was about to erupt from Mo Wuji's closed room, and this aura was being concealed by Mo Wuji through various means. Although they didn't know what this aura was, they could feel that if this violent aura rushed out, this rest stop would be directly turned into ashes.
