After closing the door of the advanced spiritual refining room, Mo Wuji immediately took out the Immortal Mortal cultivation manual. This was the spiritual refining room in the Immortal Refining Tower of the Wen Tian Academy, and absolutely no one could spy on him.

Mo Wuji didn't immediately flip to the back, but started reading from the first page again.

Page after page of the cultivation manual was turned by Mo Wuji, and soon Mo Wuji's face became a bit ugly. It wasn't a problem with the cultivation manual itself, but there was a problem with the Immortal Mortal cultivation manual he bought from the Luo Hai Merchant House.

Before, when he saw the first ten pages, he thought that those ten pages only contained 90% of the content of the cultivation manual purchased from the Luo Hai Merchant House. Now Mo Wuji completely understood that the Luo Hai Merchant House's Immortal Mortal cultivation manual had added some things to the real Immortal Mortal cultivation manual. Those things seemed more accessible and more in line with reason to people who didn't understand.

Now that this cultivation manual had refined those things away, Mo Wuji realized that many of his celestial circulation routes for cultivating the Immortal Mortal cultivation manual were incorrect.

The main reason was that the Immortal Mortal cultivation manual with added content was completely redundant and unnecessary.

Fortunately, the added things didn't affect the cultivation itself. Mo Wuji decided to start practicing according to the celestial circulation of this cultivation manual in the future, directly cutting off the things added by the Luo Hai Merchant House.

After ten pages, it should be the cultivation manual for the Detachment Realm. Mo Wuji eagerly flipped open the eleventh page. He had been holding back from flipping to the eleventh page. When he was in the warehouse, he was worried that the old man would scan him with his divine sense. On the road, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to concentrate.

Only at this time did Mo Wuji truly flip open the eleventh page.

Seeing the content of the eleventh page, Mo Wuji was immediately dumbfounded. He had really been cheated. The eleventh page was just a blank sheet of paper.

Mo Wuji was stunned for a few seconds before he restrained the urge to burst into curses and flipped again...

"Damn it!" Mo Wuji couldn't bear it anymore, and in his heart, he was cursing the Sky Secret Sect's sect leader with a bloody head.

This book only had eleven pages. He had the content of the first ten pages, but it was a modified version of the Immortal Mortal cultivation manual. The eleventh page was a thin sheet of white paper.

The twelfth page...

There was no twelfth page, or rather, the eleventh page was followed by a thick cover. This cover was ten times thicker than the first ten pages. When it was restricted by the prohibition, he could still see the page marks on this thick cover, as if it were composed of many pages. Without the restriction, Mo Wuji could only see a thick cover.

Naturally, the cover had no writing on it.

More than ten thousand contribution points were spent to buy back this thing.

After cursing for a while, Mo Wuji helplessly put down the Immortal Mortal cultivation manual and pulled out the ring hanging around his neck. There was also an Earth-grade cultivation manual inside, which was from that extraterritorial cultivator.

The Sky Secret Sect was at least a Profound-grade sect, yet it actually did such a thing. After he left seclusion, he must bring this book to accuse this sect. Was it easy to earn his points? They were all exchanged with his little life.

That's not right, Mo Wuji suddenly thought that the Sky Secret Sect was only earning a little bit of points by doing this. If he filed a complaint, wouldn't that destroy the Sky Secret Sect's sect? Besides, the Sky Secret Sect's sect leader wasn't stupid. Even if he wanted to deceive others of more than ten thousand contribution points, he wouldn't put these contribution points on the Immortal Mortal cultivation manual, which was a common item.

After Mo Wuji understood this reasoning, he quickly released his storage ring and grabbed the Immortal Mortal cultivation manual from the ground again, which he had been cursing for a long time.

This time, his divine sense landed on the eleventh page. That's right, it was still a blank sheet of paper. His divine sense continued to land on the twelfth page, which was the cover of the Immortal Mortal cultivation manual.

A series of patterns were captured by his divine sense. Was this a prohibition?

No, Mo Wuji quickly understood. He had been studying the array formations of the Storing Star Seed for a while, and he also had some knowledge of prohibitions. This thing didn't look like a prohibition, but rather like the flow of meridians in the body.

Mo Wuji's hand carefully placed on these invisible patterns, and he closed his eyes to feel. After half a day, he didn't feel anything.

He sent some vital energy into it again, and then Mo Wuji was pleasantly surprised to find that his vital energy could actually enter these faint patterns.

After a while, Mo Wuji had a new discovery. His vital energy could only move on one of the patterns and could not be separated into two patterns. At the same time, no matter how he transported his vital energy to move, the book remained the same.

Mo Wuji's divine sense landed on the remaining patterns, and his second meridian sent a vital energy into the pattern again. Sure enough, it was the same as Mo Wuji's vague guess. This second vital energy could only travel in the second pattern.

Mo Wuji's two meridians were operating at the same time, which could already form a simple celestial circulation. However, this kind of celestial circulation could only operate in Mo Wuji's body and could not be formed on this cultivation manual.

According to this method, Mo Wuji constantly began to send vital energy into the patterns of the book. He had opened up one hundred and one meridians, and he simply sent one hundred and one unrelated vital energies into one hundred and one patterns.

One hundred and one vital energies suddenly collided together on the cover patterns of this book, and naturally formed a large celestial circulation.

"Whoosh..." A sound of wind carrying paper appeared. Mo Wuji was worried about destroying this book, so he quickly withdrew his vital energy, and then he froze.

The thick cardboard that was still a complete cover just now had now separated into ten sheets of paper. Mo Wuji quickly flipped open the twelfth page. When he saw the contents inside, he almost burst into tears.

It clearly recorded the cultivation path of the Detachment Realm and beyond, as well as various meridian operation routes, and even had graphics and explanations in it. Compared to the previous ten pages, the explanations in the back were even more detailed.

Holding this Immortal Mortal cultivation manual, Mo Wuji was apologizing to the Sky Secret Sect in his heart. This sect was really wronged to death, and he had scolded them for a while.

Without investigation, there is no right to speak. This sentence should be changed: without the ability to investigate, don't whine.

After flipping through a few pages, Mo Wuji completely understood.

The Sky Secret Sect took out this book because they knew that the back of this book had an opening restriction. The restriction was that people with one hundred and one meridians had to open it, or rather, people with one hundred and one spiritual meridians had to open it.

The experts of the Sky Secret Sect must have tried it. If there were not so many meridians sending vital energy into different patterns at the same time, the pages in the back would not appear. If they forced their way in and opened the Immortal Mortal cultivation manual with brute force, they might destroy this cultivation manual.

Because they knew that this book had value, the experts of the Sky Secret Sect priced it at 10,008 contribution points. In fact, Mo Wuji knew that these contribution points were far from enough to buy this book. Perhaps the Sky Secret Sect knew that even if they listed it for 100 contribution points, no one would buy it. The reason why they listed more than 10,000 contribution points was perhaps to try their luck and find out who would buy this book.

Mo Wuji was almost certain that the Sky Secret Sect was now looking for the person who bought this book. They knew that this book had a secret, so they naturally wanted to know where this book went.

While thanking the Sky Secret Sect, Mo Wuji was also sighing at the number of ancient experts. His Wordless Pill Book was a kind of inheritance. Others couldn't open this Wordless Pill Book, but he could open it, which might have something to do with the fact that he was a mortal who had opened up meridians. He was a mortal without spiritual roots, but he had opened up meridians that could be cultivated.

Looking at the much thinner cover, Mo Wuji was even happier. This meant that when he cultivated to the Core Formation Realm, he could continue to open new pages in the back and continue to cultivate.

...

Tian Shang Empire, Yin Capital Plaza.

Some cultivators who were watching the Hundred Sect Alliance contribution ranking were whispering, and the object of their discussion, besides the top three experts, was the rogue cultivator No. 2705.

Half a year ago, rogue cultivator No. 2705 had 12,076 points and ranked sixth. But half a year later, rogue cultivator No. 2705 seemed to have disappeared. He still had 12,076 points, but his ranking had dropped to fifteenth.

"There are more and more extraterritorial cultivators. How is it possible that Senior Brother 2705's score hasn't increased?"

"I noticed it a long time ago. Senior Brother 2705 is definitely not afraid of death. As long as he is alive, he will definitely appear on the extraterritorial battlefield. Now that he hasn't appeared, there is only one possibility..."

"I also suspect that Senior Brother Xinghe was secretly plotted against. I was also there for the Xianqiong Building incident half a year ago. Although Senior Brother Xinghe is not afraid of death, his cultivation is limited after all. If he is secretly plotted against by some family experts, it is useless no matter how unafraid of death he is."

"What family? It's that Yu Lin Lei Clan that keeps talking about it, they are the ones crying thief. I think this matter should be reported to the Hundred Sect Alliance. Is it our fate to be unlucky if our rogue cultivators are secretly plotted against?"

"Yes, it should be reported to the alliance!"

...

More and more people were participating in the discussion, and some people even began to gather and head to the Hundred Sect Alliance's residence to prepare to file a complaint.

At this time, the most miserable people were probably the Yu Lin Lei Clan. Lei Chenghe was killed, and it was secondary that the Yu Lin Lei Clan was scolded by everyone. Now, not only have they not found the rogue cultivator No. 2705 who killed Lei Chenghe, but they have also caused a lot of trouble.

Among the people watching the ranking on the square, there was also an old man. He looked at the contribution ranking of the five great empire sects and sighed. This old man was the sect leader of the Sky Secret Sect, Du Shiqing. He was suffering not because he felt that the Sky Secret Sect's ranking was low, but because the Sky Secret Sect's ranking was too high.

Since rogue cultivator No. 2705 bought the Immortal Mortal cultivation manual, the Sky Secret Sect's contribution ranking had directly rushed into the top 50. Many quasi-heaven-grade sects had not rushed to this position. What was it that a Profound-grade sect had rushed to the top 50?

Now that half a year had passed, the Sky Secret Sect was still in the top 100, which made him worry that it would be discovered by some people with ulterior motives.
