Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 419 He Was Just That Kind of Person
Not only was Jia Qi stunned, but Lou Chuanhe was also stunned. It took several breaths before Lou Chuanhe said in disbelief, "Brother Mo is cultivating?"
Lou Chuanhe hadn't just arrived here; he had been here for some time. Although he hadn't joined any organization yet, his investigation during this time had given him some understanding of the Semi-Immortal Domain's situation.
In the Semi-Immortal Domain, one absolutely mustn't cultivate frantically. The faster you cultivate, the faster your spiritual channels will lignify. By that point, even Wood Dissolving Pills wouldn't work.
The reason he couldn't believe it was because Mo Wuji wasn't just cultivating, but the situation was also too terrifying. It was simply more insane than being insane. Indeed, one couldn't perceive the situation here from a distance, but once you got close, you could feel the surrounding spiritual energy pouring out and flowing towards Mo Wuji's residence as if a dam had burst.
The reason they could only discover it when they got close was because Mo Wuji had set up a Spirit Concealment Array.
"He did say he was going into closed-door cultivation, but this..." Jia Qi was also shocked by Mo Wuji's reckless cultivation method. If he continued like this, would he even want his spiritual channels anymore?
She thought Mo Wuji was simply using shattered spirit stones for cultivation. While cultivating with shattered spirit stones here would also absorb the surrounding sharp wood aura, it could be resolved with Wood Dissolving Pills. But Mo Wuji's cultivation was crazily absorbing the surrounding sharp wood aura.
"I'll go call him out of seclusion," Lou Chuanhe said, somewhat worried. Once the spiritual channels were lignified, it would be all over.
"Wait..." Jia Qi stopped Lou Chuanhe. Although Lou Chuanhe and Mo Wuji trusted each other immensely, she understood Mo Wuji far better than Lou Chuanhe did.
After all, Mo Wuji and Lou Chuanhe hadn't been together for long. It was just that Mo Wuji felt that Lou Chuanhe had a good temperament and wasn't the kind of cunning person, so he was willing to associate with him. Jia Qi and Mo Wuji, on the other hand, were bound together by shared interests, so understanding each other was a necessary thing to do.
Seeing Lou Chuanhe look at her, Jia Qi said solemnly, "I can say I have some understanding of Fellow Daoist Mo. I don't think Fellow Daoist Mo would ever do something that digs his own grave. Since he's doing it, he must have his reasons."
Jia Qi dared to say this because Mo Wuji had given her various shocks more than once. The first time entering the Ren Character Mining Area, he could easily dig out six black stones without a black stone shovel. He could make Master Pu willingly let him use the ring first, he could make Axe not dare to act and even be willing to buy Mo Wuji's black stones for the price of 25 shattered spirit stones, and he could find seven or eight hundred black stones in the abandoned mining area in a few days...
Thinking of this, Jia Qi realized that if she hadn't experienced these things personally, she wouldn't believe any of them. But these things seemed to be taken for granted when they happened to Mo Wuji. In that case, there definitely wouldn't be a problem with Mo Wuji's closed-door cultivation.
That's right, he's just such a person.
Lou Chuanhe also thought about how Mo Wuji was able to leave the Starry Sky Canyon as soon as he entered, while they had been trapped in the Starry Sky Canyon for hundreds or even thousands of years. It seemed that this Brother Mo was indeed a bit unusual.
With Jia Qi's persuasion, he had already given up the idea of calling Mo Wuji out of seclusion.
"Fellow Daoist Lou, have you joined any organization in the Semi-Immortal Domain?" Seeing Lou Chuanhe so concerned about Mo Wuji, Jia Qi guessed that Lou Chuanhe was probably the next partner Mo Wuji was looking for.
She couldn't help but admire Mo Wuji even more because, with Mo Wuji's ability to find black stones, relying on the two of them to dig black stones would definitely not achieve maximum profit. Therefore, it was necessary to find another person to join their team. And it was very important to find what kind of person. Lou Chuanhe didn't look like a cunning person at all, and he was a cultivator who valued relationships very much.
Since they were going to find someone to cooperate with anyway, it was naturally best to find someone trustworthy like this.
Lou Chuanhe shook his head. "I've been investigating for several days, and I'm planning to find a place to join."
Jia Qi immediately took out twenty shattered spirit stones and handed them to Lou Chuanhe, saying, "Fellow Daoist Lou, don't join another organization for now. Take these shattered spirit stones to apply for a Semi-Immortal Domain identity bracelet, and then stay here. We'll talk about other things after Fellow Daoist Mo comes out."
Lou Chuanhe waved his hand. "I'm not familiar with you, and I don't even know your name. How can I use your shattered spirit stones?"
"My name is Jia Qi, and I'm friends with Fellow Daoist Mo. You can trust my words. These shattered spirit stones were all earned with Fellow Daoist Mo's help. You'll understand what I mean when Fellow Daoist Mo comes out," Jia Qi insisted on giving the shattered spirit stones to Lou Chuanhe.
Lou Chuanhe could also see that Jia Qi didn't seem to be lying. He was really impressed by Mo Wuji. How long had he been here? Yet he was able to reach this level. No wonder he could be at the top of the Starry Sky Ranking and come to the Semi-Immortal Domain as soon as he entered the Starry Sky Canyon.
It was the Star Emperor Mountain's good fortune to have such a Star Lord.
"Alright, then thank you, Fellow Daoist Jia. I'll build a cave dwelling next to Brother Mo's cave dwelling." Since Jia Qi had said so, there was no need for Lou Chuanhe to continue refusing.
Seeing Lou Chuanhe accept the shattered spirit stones, Jia Qi then said, "Fellow Daoist Mo's closed-door cultivation will probably not end in a short time. During this time, you can go out with me to find a kind of forging material called Qu Huang Empty Gold. As for black stones, you don't have to worry about them. Fellow Daoist Mo will be able to get them for you soon after he comes out."
……
At this moment, hundreds of shattered spirit stones were floating around Mo Wuji, and dozens of shattered spirit stones were also floating on the edges of his hands.
This was the first time he had used shattered spirit stones to cultivate so extravagantly. In the past, dozens of shattered spirit stones had allowed him to enter the Human Immortal Realm. Now that he had hundreds of shattered spirit stones, how could he not cultivate frantically?
The spiritual energy around him was divided into three parts. One part was the earth-grade spirit stones he had taken out. This kind of spirit stone was the most numerous, but the effect of providing spiritual energy was the smallest.
The second part was the spiritual energy in the Semi-Immortal Domain, which contained a lot of sharp wood aura. However, Mo Wuji didn't care and continued to wildly absorb and devour it. No matter how much sharp wood aura the spiritual energy contained, it was purified by Mo Wuji's Poison Transformation Channel and then turned into pure spiritual energy to be absorbed by Mo Wuji.
The third part was the most important source of spiritual energy, which was the hundreds of shattered spirit stones floating around him. These shattered spirit stones were constantly extracting spiritual energy and seeping into Mo Wuji's meridians.
Mo Wuji's cultivation base rose crazily. His cultivation base, which had hardly moved, had entered the fifth level of the Human Immortal Realm in just one month.
In the second month, he entered the sixth level of the Human Immortal Realm almost without hindrance. Every time he advanced a level, Mo Wuji's strength would increase exponentially. Similarly, his speed and intensity of absorbing spiritual energy also became faster and more.
In the fifth month, the seventh level of the Human Immortal Realm...
"Crack!" The last shattered spirit stone around Mo Wuji turned into fragments, and Mo Wuji's strength also stopped at the seventh level of the Human Immortal Realm.
This was the eighth month since he had entered the Semi-Immortal Domain.
In eight months, he advanced from the fourth level of the Human Immortal Realm to the seventh level of the Human Immortal Realm. Perhaps only in a place like the Semi-Immortal Domain could this be achieved. If it was in Zhenxing, even if there were so many shattered spirit stones, the Dao rhythm rules would be lacking.
It was time to come out of seclusion and continue to mine black stones. He didn't know if Jia Qi had found the Qu Huang Empty Gold.
Mo Wuji had just walked out of his cave dwelling, and before he had time to make a mark, he saw Jia Qi pacing back and forth at the entrance.
Jia Qi looked haggard and was constantly walking back and forth outside his cave dwelling, with an extremely anxious expression.
"Fellow Daoist Jia Qi..."
Mo Wuji had just said four words when Jia Qi rushed over with joy, "Fellow Daoist Mo, you've finally come out of seclusion."
Mo Wuji was very puzzled. Jia Qi had always been cold and indifferent, and even when cooperating with him, she didn't like to talk much. What was going on?
"Eh, whose cave dwelling is this?" Before Mo Wuji had time to ask, his spiritual sense saw another cave dwelling, which was not very far from his.
"It's Fellow Daoist Lou Chuanhe's..."
"Senior Brother Lou is here?" Mo Wuji asked in surprise.
Jia Qi nodded. "Yes, but he's not doing well."
"What happened?" Mo Wuji's joy froze. Before Jia Qi could speak, he took the initiative to walk towards Lou Chuanhe's cave dwelling.
Lou Chuanhe not only came from Zhenxing like him, but was also the Star Lord of Star Emperor Mountain. Moreover, Lou Chuanhe was a true man, not like Mu Yingqiao, who was a whiny guy.
That was why Mo Wuji had reserved 10% of the black stones for Lou Chuanhe. Because he wanted to mine black stones here on a large scale, and it was definitely not possible to rely on two people alone. Since he would have to find someone sooner or later, it was better to let Lou Chuanhe join his team.
Jia Qi opened the restriction on Lou Chuanhe's cave dwelling, and Mo Wuji stepped inside. Then he saw Lou Chuanhe lying on the couch.
There were still patches of blood on Lou Chuanhe's body, and he looked like a piece of wood, with almost no signs of life. Obviously, he was not far from his demise.
"What's going on?" Mo Wuji's face turned a little ugly.
"He was severely injured by Meng Tianyu. Not only have his spiritual channels lignified, but even his flesh and blood have begun to lignify," Jia Qi sighed.
"Who is Meng Tianyu?" Mo Wuji asked.
"He is the leader of the Seeking Immortal Alliance, and the cultivation technique he cultivates is of the wood attribute. I used to hear that he could use sharp wood aura to hurt people, and I thought it was a rumor. Now I know that he really has this ability. Fellow Daoist Lou's spiritual channel lignification was done by him," Jia Qi replied.
Mo Wuji frowned. "Senior Brother Lou just came to the Semi-Immortal Domain, how could he fight with the leader of the Seeking Immortal Alliance?"
"The main conflict was because of a cultivator named Fang Qi..."
Fang Qi? Mo Wuji knew this person; he was a cultivator from the Lost Continent. He was also trapped in the Starry Sky Canyon, and it was thanks to him that he was able to come to the Semi-Immortal Domain.
