Mo Wuji sneered; this woman really thought highly of herself. However, he was here to find Han Qingru and didn't want to waste time arguing with such a woman. Mo Wuji raised his hand and took out a pile of Immortal Lattice Stones, at least several thousand, piling them on the ground. In a calm tone, he asked, "Is this what you're asking about?"

He didn't believe Han Qingru would tell anyone he had a large number of Immortal Lattice Stones. It must be that Han Qingru had just condensed her Immortal Lattice, and these guys noticed it, leading to her being controlled. Plus, when he came here, he was looking for Han Qingru, so they deliberately tried to extort him.

"Immortal Lattice Stones?" Wei Gongfeng and Zhu Yiyan suddenly stood up, their eyes filled with fiery light, staring intently at the pile of Immortal Lattice Stones Mo Wuji had placed on the table.

Zhu Yiyan even raised her hand to grab the pile of Immortal Lattice Stones, but Mo Wuji waved his hand, and the pile of Immortal Lattice Stones disappeared.

"Does Executive Zhu intend to forcibly seize them?" Mo Wuji asked with a hint of disdain after collecting the Immortal Lattice Stones.

Anger flashed across Zhu Yiyan's face, but it quickly dissipated. She then threw out several array flags.

As these array flags landed, a cracking sound came from behind Mo Wuji.

Immediately, the wall behind Mo Wuji disappeared, revealing another room connected to the one Mo Wuji was in.

"Qing... Senior Sister." The moment the wall disappeared, Mo Wuji saw Han Qingru.

Han Qingru indeed had a piece of black cloth covering her face, and Mo Wuji sensed that her aura was unstable, indicating that she had fought recently.

"Junior Brother, why are you here?" Han Qingru was startled when she saw Mo Wuji, but she immediately understood. Mo Wuji must have come looking for her and was tricked here by the Xianxiu Merchant Tower.

Mo Wuji said to Wei Gongfeng and Zhu Yiyan, "Please, both of you. If you need Immortal Lattice Stones, you can have them, but let me discuss it with my Senior Sister first before we trade. Oh, and the deposit is 10,000 mid-grade Immortal Crystals, payable now. If not, I won't discuss the trade."

Wei Gongfeng was about to speak, but Zhu Yiyan raised her hand to stop him and tossed a storage bag to Mo Wuji, "Here are 10,000 mid-grade Immortal Crystals. I'll give you an incense stick's worth of time to discuss."

"The discussion time is one hour; my Senior Sister and I have a lot to talk about," Mo Wuji said, grabbing the storage bag without any politeness.

"An hour it is then." Zhu Yiyan wasn't afraid that Mo Wuji could escape from here. After exchanging a glance with Wei Gongfeng, the two quickly left the room.

"I'm sorry, Junior Brother, I've harmed you..." Han Qingru was about to speak, but Mo Wuji raised his hand to stop her, casting several restrictions at the same time.

"Senior Sister, let's talk later." After setting up the restrictions, Mo Wuji immediately grabbed a pile of Immortal Crystals that Zhu Yiyan had just given him and began to recover his Yuan energy.

The Immortal spiritual aura from the mid-grade Immortal Crystals was continuously extracted by Mo Wuji, enveloping his entire body in a short amount of time.

Han Qingru knew that Mo Wuji was recovering his Yuan energy and waited anxiously on the side.

After a moment, she was shocked. Mo Wuji's speed of extracting Immortal spiritual energy from the Immortal Crystals was too fast and terrifying. So many mid-grade Immortal Crystals were crumbling at an alarming rate.

Several thousand mid-grade Immortal Crystals would take her a long time to cultivate with, but here, they were turning into dust at a visible rate. What kind of Junior Brother had she gotten to know?

Mo Wuji's 108 meridians absorbed Immortal spiritual energy unscrupulously. The Great Celestial Cycle formed after the reverse rotation of the 108 Minor Celestial Cycles would be strange if it absorbed Immortal spiritual energy slowly. At this time, to recover his strength, he was absorbing it frantically.

After half an hour, the thousands of Immortal Crystals around Mo Wuji had disappeared. Mo Wuji also exhaled a breath and stopped absorbing. His vitality could not be restored in a short time, but his Yuan energy had been completely restored.

"Junior Brother, have you fully recovered?" Han Qingru asked in pleasant surprise when she saw Mo Wuji's appearance.

"Yeah, I've almost recovered. Now, Senior Sister, tell me, what exactly is going on? It seems like you were fighting not long ago?" Mo Wuji was very puzzled. Logically speaking, if Han Qingru was controlled by the other party, there wouldn't have been a fight not long ago.

"Because I have a lot of low-grade Immortal spiritual herbs, although they are not valuable, there are many of them. After I arrived at Canhe Market, I set up a stall and sold my Immortal spiritual herbs at a low price. Unexpectedly, I was discovered by that woman named Zhu Yiyan, and she actually saw that I had just condensed my Immortal Lattice..."

Mo Wuji asked in confusion, "There's nothing to that, is there? In this place, there are too many people who condense Immortal Lattices. Why would they target you?"

Han Qingru said guiltily, "She could not only see that I had just condensed my Immortal Lattice, but she could also see that I used more than 100,000 Immortal Lattice Stones to condense my Immortal Lattice. It seems that the Immortal Lattice Dao rhythm was discovered by her because I didn't condense my Immortal Lattice long ago. She told me that Xianxiu Merchant Tower needed a large number of these low-grade Immortal spiritual herbs. I thought it was true, so I followed them to Xianxiu Merchant Tower. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered, I was trapped by the formation here.

They forced me to say where the Immortal Lattice Stones came from, but I never told them. In order to get the whereabouts of the Immortal Lattice Stones, they didn't dare to do anything to me, but they needed me to represent Xianxiu Merchant Tower in the Merchant Guild Competition."

"Merchant Guild Competition?" Mo Wuji didn't understand at all what it meant.

Han Qingru explained, "I heard that the major markets in Yongying Corner are going to jointly hold a large auction. Major markets, families, sects, and Immortal cities can participate in this auction, but there are restrictions on the number of participants. Xianxiu Merchant Tower has some reputation in Canhe Market, but it can't cover the sky with one hand. There are at least two or three Merchant Guilds like Xianxiu Merchant Tower in Canhe Market. Because my condensed Immortal Lattice is strong and my strength is far superior to that of ordinary Heavenly Immortal cultivators, I have to fight for Xianxiu Merchant Tower. In order not to make them completely turn against me, I had to agree."

Mo Wuji's killing intent suddenly surged. This Xianxiu Merchant Tower not only trapped Han Qingru here to use her as bait, but also wanted Han Qingru to work for them.

"Crack!" The door rang again, and Wei Gongfeng and Zhu Yiyan walked in, followed by the thin man who had brought Mo Wuji here.

Mo Wuji raised his hand and waved away his restriction, coldly looking at the three of Wei Gongfeng who had come in.

"Eh! You were injured before?" Seeing that Mo Wuji was no longer the skinny and gray-haired man he was when he came, Zhu Yiyan exclaimed in surprise. However, she didn't care too much. Even if Mo Wuji's injuries were healed, Xianxiu Merchant Tower still had the final say in this place.

"How is your consideration?" Zhu Yiyan didn't continue to ask about Mo Wuji's healing, and didn't even sit down, staring directly at Mo Wuji and asking.

"You locked up my Senior Sister here and even want her to work for your Xianxiu Merchant Tower every day. Let's talk about the compensation first, and then talk about the Immortal Lattice Stones..."

"Courting death!" Before Mo Wuji could finish his words, the thin man shouted sharply and lunged at Mo Wuji. He didn't seem to take Mo Wuji seriously, and he punched down while he was in the air.

Seeing that her own people had rushed towards Mo Wuji, Zhu Yiyan showed a sneer on her lips and threw out several array flags at the same time.

Before these array flags landed, Mo Wuji also threw out more than a dozen array flags, also took a step forward, and punched out.

Coming here, Mo Wuji didn't intend for everyone to have a good discussion. This punch almost gathered 80% of his Yuan energy.

"Boom!" The two violent forces collided together, exploding in the room.

"Puff!" The thin man spat out a mouthful of blood, flying backwards and hitting the wall near the door, directly smashing the wall open.

"Thump!" With a sound, the thin man fell to the ground, spitting out blood clots.

Zhu Yiyan stared at Mo Wuji in shock, completely forgetting the fact that the trapping formation had not trapped Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji's punch didn't use any magic techniques, and it was so terrifying with just his strength. This person was definitely not someone they could contend with.
