Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 774: Pre-Battle Arrangements
In a short time, everyone lined up in order, handed in their queue number牌 (pái, tokens), and received their blue crystals.
However, a small number of immortals still wanted to wait and did not line up to get their blue crystals refunded. Ten blue crystals were nothing to them; seeking an eighth-grade Pill Emperor to refine pills was the important thing.
"Kuang Jin greets Pavilion Master, thank you for fulfilling my great Dao and helping me attain the Emperor Realm," Kuang Jin said, still with excitement, at the entrance to Mo Wuji's pill refining room.
Mo Wuji laughed, "Congratulations, Immortal Friend Kuang. I still need to continue refining pills for a while, please help look after the Immortal Mortal Pill Pavilion during this time."
"Pavilion Master, rest assured. As long as it's not a Celestial Emperor in the mid to late stages, I, Kuang Jin, will definitely not let them damage even a single blade of grass in the Pill Pavilion," Kuang Jin said in a loud voice, his tone filled with strong confidence. He also believed that the Mi Fei Chamber of Commerce would not send a Celestial Emperor in the later stages.
"Good, then I'll have to trouble Immortal Friend Kuang," Mo Wuji said, and then did not say anything more.
Originally, Mo Wuji had intended to take out some ninth-grade immortal pills to help Kuang Jin stabilize his cultivation, but now he completely abandoned that idea.
Kuang Jin was not someone who could be brought into the Ping Fan Immortal Sect. Mo Wuji understood this from Kuang Jin's previous sentence. Kuang Jin didn't even ask Lou Si about what she was doing when he returned, and went straight to knocking on his pill room door, wanting to ask him what the reason was.
Lou Si, a Celestial King, knew that one shouldn't be disturbed during secluded cultivation for comprehension, how could Kuang Jin not know? It wasn't that he was doing it on purpose, but because he had just entered the Celestial Emperor Realm, and his heart was higher than the sky. In his subconscious, he probably thought that everyone below the Celestial Emperor was an ant.
Whether Kuang Jin had been suppressing himself for too long, or his confidence skyrocketed after suddenly stepping into the Celestial Emperor Realm, and he didn't want to be beneath anyone, Mo Wuji didn't need such a person.
Mo Wuji also realized his own shortcomings; not every Celestial Emperor was the same as those who came out of the Sword Prison. The Celestial Emperors in the Sword Prison, whether it was Wei Zidao, Nie Chong'an, or Jian Mingcheng, had all lingered on the edge of death for countless years.
Because they had experienced it, they knew that an ordinary Celestial Emperor was not an invincible existence.
Kuang Jin sensed that Mo Wuji's tone was a little flat, but he didn't care. A hundred years was just a blink of an eye to him.
Before advancing to the Celestial Emperor Realm, not to mention a hundred years, even ten thousand years, he would have agreed to if he had a Di Zhen Pill. After proving his Dao to the Celestial Emperor Realm, he no longer measured his worth as the Immortal Reverent Kuang Jin, but as the Celestial Emperor Kuang Jin.
The thousands of immortals who refunded their blue crystals quickly received their blue crystals and left the Immortal Mortal Pill Pavilion.
The remaining cultivators also received better news, which was that Pavilion Master Mo had started refining pills. As bottles of immortal pills were traded out, those immortals who had not requested to get their blue crystals back were all overjoyed.
Those immortals who had refunded their blue crystals secretly regretted it, and one by one, they prepared to pay up blue crystals again to queue up. Unfortunately, the news that made them regret incessantly was that the Immortal Mortal Pill Pavilion no longer accepted new orders.
If it wasn't for the fact that there was still a Celestial Emperor in the Immortal Mortal Pill Pavilion, these cultivators who had refunded their blue crystals would have even started making trouble.
In just a few days, Mo Wuji had refined all the pill orders and decisively stopped refining.
He now had countless high-grade immortal spiritual herbs and nearly seven million blue crystals. With so many cultivation resources, the most important thing for him to do now was not to refine pills for others, but to improve his own strength.
"Big Brother Mo, are we going to the Universe Public Area now?" Seeing Mo Wuji walk out of the pill room, Lou Si asked with joy.
Kuang Jin also looked at Mo Wuji eagerly. He knew how many blue crystals Mo Wuji had. If Mo Wuji took out just 20% of these blue crystals, he would be able to completely stabilize his initial Celestial Emperor cultivation.
Mo Wuji was about to speak when the communication bead on his wrist lit up.
"Big Brother Mo, is there something wrong?" Lou Si was very attentive. After Mo Wuji saw the information on the communication bead, his face looked somewhat unpleasant.
"The Mi Fei Pill and Tool Pavilion has sent three Celestial Emperors, one in the late stage, one in the mid-stage, and one in the initial stage," Mo Wuji's voice was a little low.
Kuang Jin's heart skipped a beat. His strength had increased greatly after proving his Dao to the Celestial Emperor Realm, and his confidence had soared, but he wasn't an idiot. Even if he was relatively strong, he wouldn't be a match for any of those three.
He had only just advanced to the Celestial Emperor Realm. Not to mention the mid and late-stage Celestial Emperors sent by the Mi Fei Chamber of Commerce, even the initial-stage Celestial Emperor probably wasn't someone he could fight head-on. The Mi Fei Pill Pavilion must have sent a powerful Celestial Emperor, right?
"Pavilion Master, what should we do now?" Kuang Jin looked at Mo Wuji with some worry. He was most afraid that Mo Wuji didn't know how powerful Celestial Emperors were and wanted to rely on the formation here to fight them head-on.
"What are your opinions?" Mo Wuji didn't answer directly. He was also a little puzzled, as the people from the Mi Fei Chamber of Commerce seemed to have arrived very quickly.
Kuang Jin said solemnly, "The Mi Fei Chamber of Commerce is very powerful, otherwise it wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in the Tianwaitian (Beyond the Heavens) Square City. Now that the other party has sent three Celestial Emperors, my idea is to leave the Square City as soon as possible."
In his opinion, it would be remarkable if the Mi Fei Chamber of Commerce sent one or two ordinary Celestial Emperors. He really didn't expect the Mi Fei Chamber of Commerce to send three Celestial Emperors at once, and one of them was in the late stage. He didn't know that Mo Wuji had killed a Celestial Emperor from the Mi Fei Chamber of Commerce, which was why he found it strange.
Mo Wuji sneered in his heart. Once they left the Square City immediately, if he was just an ordinary Immortal Reverent, then a dead end would be waiting for him and Lou Si. After all, Kuang Jin was a Celestial Emperor and had a chance to escape after leaving the Square City. Mo Wuji didn't believe that Kuang Jin would stay and share life and death with them.
He believed that Kuang Jin didn't know that he had killed a Celestial Emperor from the Mi Fei Chamber of Commerce, and didn't even know that he had a friendship with Teng Feiyan. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so confident in front of him.
Lou Si didn't speak. Whether they left or stayed, as a Celestial King, she would just be cannon fodder.
Mo Wuji took out a ring and handed it to Lou Si, saying, "Lou Si, go find Square City Lord Teng Feiyan."
"Pavilion Master, do you want to ask the City Lord for help?" Kuang Jin asked in surprise. He was sure that Mo Wuji's idea simply wouldn't work. Teng Feiyan would definitely not wade into this muddy water.
Lou Si took the ring and looked at Mo Wuji with some concern, saying, "Big Brother Mo, I'm afraid this won't work. Even if these things are given to him, I guess they will be…"
Lou Si didn't finish her sentence, but Mo Wuji and Kuang Jin both understood what she meant, which was that even if everything in the ring was given to the City Lord of the Tianwaitian Square City, they wouldn't be able to move Teng Feiyan.
"Just go there," Mo Wuji said simply, then transmitted a message to Lou Si, "There are two jade slips in the ring, one is for you, and one you should give to Teng Feiyan. Read your jade slip first, then go to the City Lord's mansion."
"Yes," Lou Si replied immediately after hearing Mo Wuji's transmission, and quickly left the Pill Pavilion. She believed that Mo Wuji wouldn't harm her.
As soon as Lou Si left, Mo Wuji threw out several more array flags.
"Pavilion Master, are we going to fight three Celestial Emperors here?" Seeing Mo Wuji deploy the array flags, Kuang Jin knew what Mo Wuji was thinking and asked in shock.
"Yes, when they come, I will be responsible for controlling the trapping and killing array, and you will act according to my instructions. Don't worry, even if we can't win in the end, we can still escape," Mo Wuji said in a deep voice.
Hearing Mo Wuji's tone, Kuang Jin knew that Mo Wuji was determined to fight. He sighed. It was a good thing that he had entered the Emperor Realm. Even if he couldn't win, he could still escape calmly, otherwise he wouldn't even know how he died. He had sworn an oath that if his life was in danger, he would no longer keep his promise. Mo Wuji hadn't entered the Emperor Realm, so he didn't know the power of Celestial Emperors, let alone a late-stage Celestial Emperor?
...
Lou Si rushed out of the Immortal Mortal Pill Pavilion as quickly as possible, then scanned the ring with her spiritual sense.
Inside the ring was a pile of blue crystals, estimated to be one or two hundred thousand, as well as dozens of jade bottles. There were even a few jade slips with supernatural abilities and cultivation techniques written on them.
Lou Si had mostly relied on her own hard work for cultivation. Since escaping into the Tianwaitian Square City and helping Mo Wuji, she hadn't even cultivated. She also didn't have any cultivation resources. Now that so many cultivation resources were suddenly placed in front of her, even her heart was pounding. All her gains over the years added up were only a fraction of this.
However, she knew very well that these cultivation resources were not for her, but should be what Mo Wuji wanted her to give to City Lord Teng Feiyan. Mo Wuji had saved her twice, and regardless of whether the City Lord would help or not, she would deliver the ring.
Lou Si took out the jade slip that Mo Wuji had given her, and Mo Wuji's spiritual imprint came from the jade slip, "Lou Si, thank you for your help during this time. The cultivation resources in this ring are what I'm leaving for you, not for others. According to my original plan, I intended to take you to the Tianwaitian Universe after I finished refining pills. But the opponents who have come this time are too strong, and even I have difficulty protecting myself. When it's time to escape, I may not be able to take care of you.
Therefore, I ask you to go to the City Lord's mansion first. City Lord Teng and I have a bit of friendship, and he is about to leave the Square City to go to the Tianwaitian Universe. I believe he will take you with him."
Mo Wuji was also very helpless. If only two Celestial Emperors had come, Mo Wuji might have kept Lou Si. But with three Celestial Emperors coming, Mo Wuji was just an initial-stage Immortal Reverent, and Kuang Jin wouldn't fight to the death. Once they were losing, he would have to escape into the Gobi Desert, so it would be difficult to protect Lou Si.
Teng Feiyan was also a City Lord, so since he wanted to befriend him now, Mo Wuji believed that it should still be possible to ask Teng Feiyan to do this little thing.
For a City Lord to take Lou Si to the Tianwaitian Universe wasn't a big deal. Unless Teng Feiyan's previous invitation to him was fake, there would definitely be no problem with him doing this small favor. Moreover, the news that three Celestial Emperors from the Mi Fei Chamber of Commerce were coming had also been transmitted to him by Teng Feiyan.
Lou Si dazedly put away the jade slip. She finally understood that the pile of cultivation resources in the ring was actually hers.
Big Brother Mo had said before that he would give her some cultivation resources, but Lou Si hadn't expected that this portion of cultivation resources would be so much.
...
