Puzi Master's appearance was naturally noticed by both Mo Wuji and Jia Qi. Before Mo Wuji could inquire about what was wrong, Puzi Master stared at Mo Wuji and sternly asked, "Where did you get this warship from?"

Mo Wuji's face immediately darkened, "Puzi Master, I invited you here to help me improve this warship, not to investigate me."

Knowing that Mo Wuji was not one to be easily manipulated, Jia Qi quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Puzi Master, that is a private matter of Mo Daoist, and not something we should ask about."

Puzi also remembered Mo Wuji's strength. He had fought Mo Wuji once before. That time, he didn't gain any advantage, and even seemed to be slightly at a disadvantage. In these past few months, Mo Wuji's strength seemed to have increased again. Moreover, this was Mo Wuji's territory, filled with his arrays. If he fought Mo Wuji here, he wouldn't gain any advantage.

Thinking of this, Puzi Master's expression and tone softened, "Mo Daoist, I have no ill intentions. It's just, where are all the cannons and shells that used to be on this warship?"

Mo Wuji was startled when Puzi Master mentioned the cannons. He had taken them all off, how did Puzi Master know?

"Puzi Master, that's not really your concern. Just tell me if you are willing to help or not," Mo Wuji said calmly.

If Puzi Master was unwilling to help, then forget it. He didn't believe he couldn't refine this warship without Puzi Master.

Puzi Master took a deep breath and proactively returned the ring to Mo Wuji, "Mo Daoist, I know you are no ordinary person. I am willing to help with this, and even willing to leave Semi-Immortal Domain with you to refine this warship. However, I have one condition."

Mo Wuji took the ring and cupped his fists, saying, "Puzi Master, feel free to state your condition. As long as I can do it, it won't be a problem."

Puzi Master waved his hand, "Let's talk about the condition after we leave. When are we leaving?"

After seeing Mo Wuji's warship, Puzi Master seemed even more eager than Mo Wuji.

"I'll exchange some spirit stone fragments and then we'll leave," Mo Wuji replied. After leaving Semi-Immortal Domain this time, he would definitely cultivate to Earth Immortal before returning. So, exchanging for a large batch of spirit stone fragments was necessary.

Puzi Master hesitated for a moment and said, "I still have several hundred spirit stone fragments. If that's enough, I suggest you don't exchange any more."

Mo Wuji thought to himself that he was indeed a refining master, with such abundant wealth. He knew that the geniuses he had seen in Half-Moon Prison only had a few dozen spirit stone fragments at most. Although those geniuses might have used the spirit stone fragments for cultivation, Puzi Master was still an extremely wealthy fellow in this place.

"Not enough, I'll go alone. Jia Qi Daoist, you and Puzi Master wait for me here." After Mo Wuji finished speaking, he grabbed the basket and quickly left the room, heading to find Axe.

"Wait..." Puzi Master called out, but Mo Wuji had already left.

"Brother Puzi, Mo Daoist will be fine, you don't need to worry." When they were alone, Jia Qi usually called Puzi Master "Brother Puzi."

Puzi frowned, "He probably went to find Axe, right? That guy eats people without spitting out bones. It's too dangerous for him to go alone. If he takes out too many black stones at once, I really doubt if he can come back."

If he didn't know that Mo Wuji had a warship, he wouldn't have worried at all, even if Mo Wuji went to find a Dao Lord. Now that Mo Wuji had a warship, which was related to his future, how could he not worry?

Jia Qi said calmly, "Brother Puzi, I've worked with Mo Daoist for a while now, and I believe he's not the kind of person to act rashly. Since he asked us to wait here, let's just wait here."

...

Puzi Master's speculation was not without reason. Everyone knew that Axe, who traded black stones underground, was ruthless. Moreover, Puzi knew that Mo Wuji had a large number of black stones. If Mo Wuji took out too many black stones, it was inevitable that Axe would be tempted.

...

"Is the boss here?" Mo Wuji came to the underground trading house for the second time, and went straight to the point.

The refining cultivator recognized Mo Wuji and simply nodded. The small door next to him opened directly.

After Mo Wuji entered the room, the small door closed again. Mo Wuji immediately realized that his spiritual will was restricted. Last time, his spiritual will could scan outside, but this time it couldn't.

This didn't stump Mo Wuji, he still had the Spirit Storage Meridian and Spirit Eye. It wasn't convenient to open his Spirit Eye here, so the spiritual will from his Spirit Storage Meridian extended out from his meridians, clearly seeing the array in the room.

The original array base had been moved to a new location, and two additional trapping arrays and one concealing killing array had been added.

The purpose of the concealing killing array was to ensure that the fluctuations from any battle would hardly spread out.

Mo Wuji sneered inwardly, these few trapping arrays were basically useless to him.

"Mo Daoist, long time no see." Before Mo Wuji could speak, Axe, sitting at the head of the table, took the initiative to greet him.

As soon as Mo Wuji heard this, he knew that the other party had investigated him. There was one less person in the room this time. The thin cultivator who had ambushed him with a small knife last time was gone. Mo Wuji knew that this guy hadn't just disappeared, but was hidden in the array by the door. He was probably planning to give him a display of power.

Mo Wuji was not afraid at all. He had already found the location of the array base here. As soon as a battle broke out, he would blast open the array base in the first instance and appear outside.

This was also why he didn't bring Puzi Master and Jia Qi here. He was sure that the people that Axe had in this place weren't just these four. Even if they all came, they would be outnumbered. He was much more flexible coming alone.

Mo Wuji said woodenly, "I've been digging black stones outside, and just came back recently, so I wanted to exchange some black stones."

Even if the other party knew about his seclusion, Mo Wuji didn't care.

"How many do you want to exchange?" Axe picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip, speaking nonchalantly.

Mo Wuji hated this guy's attitude. Since it was a transaction, everyone should sit down equally and talk slowly. This guy was always aloof, as if he was giving charity. If Mo Wuji didn't really need spirit stone fragments, he wouldn't want to trade with this kind of person. This guy didn't understand business at all.

"If I trade fifty black stones at once, will the price go up a bit?" Mo Wuji asked.

"Still twenty-five spirit stone fragments." Axe didn't even raise his eyes.

"What if I trade a hundred?" Mo Wuji asked again.

This time, Axe did raise his head, looking at Mo Wuji in surprise, "You have a hundred black stones?"

Mo Wuji didn't answer, but just stood quietly in the distance, waiting.

Seeing that Mo Wuji didn't answer him, Axe snorted and said, "If you have a hundred, I'll give you a price of twenty-eight spirit stone fragments."

"What about two hundred?" Mo Wuji asked calmly again.

"Haha..." Axe suddenly burst out laughing, "Are you making fun of me? If you can take out two hundred black stones, what's wrong with giving you the fifty spirit stone fragments price I mentioned last time? If you can't take them out, don't blame me for being impolite. No one can joke around with me."

The beautiful woman sitting next to Axe sighed when she heard this. She didn't really agree with what Axe was doing, but Axe insisted that whether or not they could recruit Mo Wuji, they had to try. If it really didn't work, they would give this newcomer a lesson and make him have respect for this place.

Mo Wuji didn't say anything more, he also knew that the fifty spirit stone fragments that Axe mentioned wasn't a sincere price. A sincere price would be very good at thirty. This guy had set up trapping arrays and concealing killing arrays here, definitely planning to give him a hard time.

But now that the price had been said, whether it was true or false, he would make this Axe swallow it, even if he didn't want to.

Mo Wuji simply took out the basket behind him, and removed the cover, revealing a basket full of black stones.

Axe suddenly stood up, and the beautiful woman next to him and the cultivator holding the abacus also stood up in shock. The basket was completely filled, indeed more than two hundred black stones.

They had naturally seen two hundred black stones before, but this was the first time they had seen someone bringing two hundred black stones to trade at once.

"It's really two hundred black stones." Axe took a breath, and had already regained his composure.

"May I ask if we can trade now? There are a total of two hundred and two black stones here, I'll just get rid of the change. You just need to give me ten thousand spirit stone fragments." Mo Wuji put the cover back on the basket, and carried the basket on his back at the same time.

Axe frowned slightly, he understood the meaning of Mo Wuji's actions, he was preparing to fight. Was this really a newcomer? So arrogant?

"Are you not afraid that I'll steal your black stones?" Axe said calmly.

Mo Wuji suddenly moved sideways a few steps, and said equally calmly, "You don't dare."

Seeing Mo Wuji's actions, Axe's eyes narrowed, what was going on? He had clearly asked a top array grandmaster to change the location of the array base, and had even set up arrays to block spiritual will here, why did Mo Wuji still find the location of the array base so quickly?

You don't dare, daring to be so arrogant in front of him?

"Abacus, let him see if I dare." Axe snorted, and slammed the teacup in his hand heavily on the tea table beside him.

Mo Wuji was carrying two hundred black stones on his back, he was sure that Mo Wuji wouldn't dare to destroy the array base here.

"Yes." The middle-aged cultivator holding the abacus suddenly pounced on Mo Wuji upon hearing Axe's words.

Mo Wuji's heart sank, he realized that he had overlooked one thing. Even though he had found the hidden array base here, he still didn't dare to break the array here. Because he was carrying two hundred black stones, once he destroyed the array base here, even if it only cost Axe some profit, he might lose his life.

It seemed like he was still being careless.
