"When you come next time, we will trade here, black stones for Immortal Crystals. Of course, before you leave, you need to lend me a ring first; otherwise, I can't bring the black stones here at all," Mo Wuji replied.

"How can I trust you?" Gong Hou asked, staring at Mo Wuji.

"You can give me a poison pill, and give me the antidote when we trade next time, how about that?" Mo Wuji said, not caring at all.

Mo Wuji had long considered asking Gong Hou for a ring. After all, the ring refined by Master Pu Zi was still a bit small. He planned to make a fortune in the Immortal Realm with a large number of black stones, so he must have a ring with a large space.

Gong Hou looked at Mo Wuji, and after a long while, he sighed and said, "I never thought there would be a cultivator like you in the world. Alright, I believe you."

He had cultivated to this point, and it was the first time he had seen a guy like Mo Wuji who valued money over life. If Mo Wuji could remove the toxicity of the poison pill he gave, he would absolutely not believe it, because the spiritual herbs for refining the antidote simply did not exist in the Half-Immortal Realm and lower cultivation worlds.

"This is a ring. There is a communication bead in the ring. I will give you a message when I come next time." After Gong Hou sighed, he took out a ring and handed it to Mo Wuji. He was really defeated by Mo Wuji's greed. Such a cultivator could actually cultivate to the Earth Immortal Realm and come to the Half-Immortal Realm.

Mo Wuji grabbed the ring, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and found that the space inside was more than ten times larger than the ring refined by Master Pu Zi. This ring was enough for him to装 (zhuāng - pack) more black stones and then take these black stones to the Immortal Realm.

After Mo Wuji took the ring, Gong Hou took out a dark green pill and threw it to Mo Wuji, "Eat this pill, and I will give you the antidote when you come next time."

Mo Wuji swallowed the dark green pill without hesitation, and a fishy smell permeated his entire body directly from his mouth.

The moment the pill entered his mouth, Mo Wuji's Poison-Dissolving Meridian quickly reversed its circulation, and the toxins that had penetrated into Mo Wuji's body were swept away by the Poison-Dissolving Meridian in a short period of time. The toxins were also dissolved by the Poison-Dissolving Meridian in an instant. If Mo Wuji hadn't been controlling the toxins, he could have forced the toxins out now. The medicinal liquid that had been detoxified turned into a higher-level spiritual energy aura. Even though Mo Wuji hadn't cultivated yet, he could feel his strength increasing.

Mo Wuji even suspected that once he absorbed this spiritual energy, he might break through to the sixth level of the Earth Immortal Realm.

At this moment, the sentence Mo Wuji wanted to say most was, "Fellow Daoist Gong, do you have any more of that poison? Can you give me a few more?"

Unfortunately, Mo Wuji knew that once he said this, Gong Hou would be suspicious, so he could only lament that one pill was too little.

"Not bad, you can leave." Seeing Mo Wuji swallow the poison pill, Gong Hou nodded with satisfaction. He could feel the aura of poison on Mo Wuji's body.

Mo Wuji didn't leave, but clasped his fists again and asked, "Fellow Daoist Gong, now we can be considered our own people, I would like to ask if you came to the Half-Immortal Realm by spaceship?"

Mo Wuji suspected that the other party didn't come here by spaceship; otherwise, could these people really deal with the dangers in the Immortal Chasm?

Gong Hou's face darkened, "These are not things you can know. Asking too much will shorten your life. And I also want to warn you that even if I trade you low-grade Immortal Crystals in the future, you can't reveal it casually. The Immortal Realm does not allow low-grade Immortal Crystals to flow into the Half-Immortal Realm; otherwise, you will also die."

Mo Wuji said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Gong, don't worry, I will definitely not reveal the matter of the Immortal Crystals. By the way, does Fellow Daoist Gong have any low-grade Immortal Crystals on him? Can you lend me ten or twenty thousand to enjoy first?"

Gong Hou almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. How could this guy be so shameless? He suddenly missed Hong Axe and them. Although that guy was just a kowtowing insect, he was much easier to control than the guy in front of him.

Seeing Gong Hou's ugly face, Mo Wuji estimated that borrowing Immortal Crystals was a bit dangerous, so he quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Gong, this is called a deposit in my hometown. With a deposit, things will develop in a very good direction; otherwise, I wouldn't want this low-grade Immortal Crystal. Although I know that this bit of Immortal Crystal is not worth mentioning to Fellow Daoist Gong, it is the courage that can make me work hard for me."

Mo Wuji still had a lot of Immortal Crystal Shards. As his cultivation increased, the time he spent advancing increased. If he wanted to cultivate faster, he had to use higher-level spiritual energy.

Although he knew that Mo Wuji was talking nonsense, Gong Hou still brought out a small pile of Immortal Crystals, thinking that Mo Wuji could even give up his life for Immortal Crystals, and said, "Here are a thousand pieces. Take them and use them first. Don't let me down. If you don't get enough black stones, you will know the consequences."

"Fellow Daoist Gong, don't worry." Mo Wuji said in his mouth, his eyes already staring at the pile of Immortal Crystals. The rich and pure Immortal spiritual energy made Mo Wuji's heart fiery.

He stepped forward and directly sent these thousand Immortal Crystals into his ring. He knew that he would have no problem cultivating to the Great Circle of the Earth Immortal Realm.

"I want to warn you about one thing: don't go to Guang Quan's Dao Lord's Mansion unless there is a special reason," Gong Hou suddenly said after Mo Wuji put away the Immortal Crystals.

Mo Wuji asked in confusion, "Why?"

He was just planning to go to Guang Quan's Dao Lord's Mansion. Although he didn't need to trade Spirit Stone Shards with Guang Quan now, he still wanted to see what good things Guang Quan could come up with.

"There is a trapping and killing array in Guang Quan's Dao Lord's Mansion called the Bias Slaughter Array. This trapping and killing array is from the Immortal Realm. Even I can't escape it. So once you go to his Dao Lord's Mansion, your little life will no longer be in your hands. Guang Quan has a close relationship with the Immortal Realm. Killing you is like killing an ant."

Mo Wuji's face darkened. He didn't expect Guang Quan to have set up such a high-level trapping and killing array waiting for him. It seemed that this guy was determined to get him.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Gong, I understand." Mo Wuji clasped his fists, this time with sincerity.

Gong Hou was very satisfied with Mo Wuji's attitude and quickly turned and left. He was going back to raise spirit stones. He couldn't get millions of low-grade spirit stones on his own.

...

Just as Mo Wuji returned to the Half-Immortal Realm, he saw a spaceship disappear without a trace from the entrance of the Half-Immortal Realm like a shooting star.

The speed of this spaceship was definitely faster than his flying car. Mo Wuji immediately guessed that the departing spaceship was the immortals from the Immortal Realm who came to trade black stones.

"Mo Wuji has come out of seclusion and even went out for a trip." In Guang Quan's Dao Lord's Mansion, Guang Quan said while staring at the huge monitoring screen.

Meng Tianyu didn't say anything on the side. He had lost the Heavenly Wood Vine and had almost become Guang Quan's subordinate.

"Brother Meng, Mo Wuji went out immediately after coming out of seclusion. What do you think he went out to do this time? Will he come to me next?" Guang Quan suddenly asked Meng Tianyu, who was opposite him.

When the people from the Immortal Realm came to trade black stones before, Guang Quan and them didn't look at the monitoring screen, and he didn't know that Mo Wuji and Axe had left the Half-Immortal Realm.

Meng Tianyu pondered for a moment and then said, "I think he will definitely come."

Guang Quan laughed and agreed with Meng Tianyu's words. Because even if Mo Wuji didn't come to him, he would go to find Meng Tianyu. Meng Tianyu owed him Spirit Stone Shards. As long as he looked for Meng Tianyu, someone would tell Mo Wuji that Meng Tianyu was in the Dao Lord's Mansion.

Mo Wuji didn't go to find Meng Tianyu, nor did he go to find Guang Quan. He sent a message to Master Pu Zi and the others and then prepared to go back to closed-door cultivation.

He really didn't care about Spirit Stone Shards now. He had already decided on a plan to first advance to the late stage of the Earth Immortal Realm and then take Master Pu Zi and the others to the Death Mine to mine black stones. When the next black stone trading time came, it would be the time for them to leave the Half-Immortal Realm and cross the Immortal Chasm.

Just as Mo Wuji returned to his cave abode, he knew that someone had touched his cave abode's restriction. It was definitely not Master Pu Zi and the others. Master Pu Zi and the others knew that he had gone out and would not come to touch his cave abode's restriction.

Just as Mo Wuji was thinking about whether Guang Quan had come to look for him, his cave abode's restriction was touched again.

Mo Wuji opened the restriction, and two people were standing outside his cave abode. Mo Wuji knew both of them and even had hatred for them.

One was Accountant, a subordinate of Axe, and the other was the woman with a relatively delicate appearance and few words. Mo Wuji knew that this woman was called Ku Ya.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Mo." As soon as Mo Wuji opened the restriction, Accountant and Ku Ya bowed.

Mo Wuji said, "Come in and talk."

These two were obviously waiting for him here for a long time; otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence.

The two didn't hesitate at all and immediately entered Mo Wuji's cave abode.

"You two should have come to me several times, right? What is the specific matter?" Mo Wuji asked, closing the cave abode's restriction casually.

Accountant said respectfully, "We would like to ask Fellow Daoist Mo first, was Axe killed?"

Mo Wuji replied, "That's right, Hong Axe was killed, but I didn't kill him."

Mo Wuji didn't need to hide this. He wasn't afraid of these two people taking revenge. If the other party made a move, he would not hesitate to kill these two.

"Was it Gong Hou who killed him?" Ku Ya immediately asked.

Mo Wuji nodded, "Yes, it was."

Since the two knew Gong Hou, they should know the truth of the matter.

Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Accountant and Ku Ya fell silent.

After a long time, Accountant and Ku Ya clasped their fists at the same time and said, "We two want to join Brother Mo's organization. Please accept us, Brother Mo."

Mo Wuji couldn't imagine that these two would make such a request. He had never thought about accepting these two, so he was stunned when he heard this and didn't even answer the two's words.

Seeing that Mo Wuji didn't answer, Accountant sighed, "Since Brother Mo has his difficulties, we will take our leave."

Mo Wuji asked, "Why did you suddenly make such a decision? If you explain it reasonably, I agree to let you join my team."

He had the Immortal Crossing Battleship, so the more people crossing the Immortal Chasm, the better. He hadn't seen Ku Ya's strength, but Mo Wuji had personally seen Accountant's strength, which was stronger than Lou Chuanhe. Mo Wuji suspected that even Axe was not this person's opponent. If they fought one-on-one, the Tong brothers might not be able to keep Accountant.
