Old Five is a Goose.

Chapter 180: Building the Spirit

Mo Wuji completely disregarded the pain all over his body at this moment. He exerted force with both feet, and his entire person exploded with the ultimate power, directly rushing diagonally towards that Celestial Silk Flower.

The Celestial Silk Flower was suspended in the mist, and Mo Wuji easily picked it and placed it into a jade box.

After obtaining the Celestial Silk Flower, Mo Wuji didn't want to stay here for even a second. He turned around and rushed out of the mist.

At this moment, he was grateful that he had spiritual will. If he didn't, there was no way he would be able to get out of this place.

Mo Wuji's speed was extremely fast. He rushed out of this canyon in just the time it takes to burn an incense stick, ending the nightmare of being entangled by the mist.

Waves of soreness came from all over his body. Mo Wuji quickly swallowed a few more Cleansing Detox Pills and quickly left the canyon. This mist poison was a bit strange, and he had no idea what kind of poison it was.

This time, Mo Wuji chose a completely different direction from the one he came from. He didn't want to go through that even stranger place with weeds and broken walls again. This time, he didn't even look at the map he had bought from Qi Laoshi.

After running for three consecutive days, Mo Wuji sensed something was wrong. His body was becoming increasingly stiff, which was obviously a sign of poisoning.

He had to find a place to detoxify himself first. Mo Wuji looked around. Apart from a swamp in one direction, everything else was barren wilderness, with not even a place to hide.

Mo Wuji had no choice but to enter this swamp. He didn't know how serious his poisoning was. If it was very serious, it might take him a long time to detoxify, so the place he found had to be hidden and safe.

Swamps were generally rarely entered, so as long as he could find a suitable hiding place, it would be barely acceptable.



It had already been half a day since Mo Wuji rushed into the swamp, and he still hadn't found a good hiding place. At this moment, his whole body was covered in swamp mud, which didn't matter to Mo Wuji at all. What worried him was that his body was becoming increasingly stiff, and he didn't know when he would become a humanoid stone, like the ones in the misty canyon.

The Lost Heavens Ruins was indeed too dangerous. He hadn't even deliberately gone to dangerous places, and he had already encountered two life-threatening crises.

Three familiar figures appeared in Mo Wuji's sight in the distance. Mo Wuji quickly fell to the ground in the swamp. He recognized them as the three who had wanted to snatch his storage bag by the lake, and whom he had finally gotten away from by taking out the map and booklet he had bought from Qi Laoshi.

He didn't expect to run into these three again. He absolutely couldn't let them find him at this time. Once they did, in his current stiff state, it would be like seeking death.

Mo Wuji was already covered in mud, and now he was lying in a swamp pool. Even if someone glanced over him, they wouldn't necessarily be able to find him. The three obviously didn't see Mo Wuji. They looked around and then chose a direction and quickly left.

Mo Wuji was very puzzled. The booklet he had been given didn't mention any swamp. What were these three doing here?

Mo Wuji quickly remembered the previous incident where these three had forced him to buy his storage bag. He judged that these three must have found something good. It seemed that this place was very likely where the three had found good things.

He lay in the mud for a full half incense stick of time. After confirming that the three had gone far away, Mo Wuji got up quickly and rushed to the place where the three had appeared earlier.

It was a small swamp hill. These swamp hills were very common in this swamp. Around this swamp hill, in addition to some swamp pits, there were also many water plants covering the area.

There's nothing here? Mo Wuji muttered to himself in confusion as he circled the swamp hill twice.

On his third circle, Mo Wuji finally noticed something was wrong. A piece of water grass at the bottom of the hill seemed to be a bit tilted. If you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't tell. Moreover, there wasn't a drop of water around this water grass.

Mo Wuji walked over and pulled on the water grass. A tilted earthen cave appeared before Mo Wuji's eyes, tilting in the direction of the nearby swamp hill.

Mo Wuji detected a rich spiritual energy and immediately jumped in, restoring the water grass at the same time.

The further down he went along the sloping cave, the richer the spiritual energy became. Even though Mo Wuji's body was stiff and uncomfortable, he felt a lot better when surrounded by such rich spiritual energy.

Half an hour later, Mo Wuji stopped, shocked by the scene before him. Fragments of spirit stones were scattered all over the ground, and in front of him was a spirit stone mine that hadn't been dug up much.

At this point, Mo Wuji would be a pig if he didn't know what those three guys wanted a storage bag for. It turned out that these three guys had found a spirit stone mine. Don't even mention giving them his own storage bag, even giving them ten storage bags wouldn't be enough.

Mo Wuji guessed that these three guys wouldn't be back anytime soon, so he simply sat down in the middle of the dug-out spirit stone mine and began to examine the poison in his body.

Several minutes passed, and Mo Wuji's forehead was already covered in sweat. He was sure that among the Meridian Opening Stage cultivators, no one knew his own meridians better than him. Every one of his meridians had been opened by himself by guiding the Thunder Source.

Being so familiar with his own body, he couldn't find any abnormalities in his body. That meant he couldn't find the reason he was poisoned, or what kind of poison he had contracted.

Mo Wuji took out the "Land Spirit Grass" book again and flipped through it. He only found information on the Celestial Silk Flower, but there was no explanation of how to detoxify from the poisonous mist in the place where the Celestial Silk Flower grew.

Mo Wuji was a little disappointed and put away the "Land Spirit Grass" book, frowning tightly. He had found the Celestial Silk Flower, but if he couldn't get rid of the poison, finding the Celestial Silk Flower, or even finding the location of this spirit stone mine, would be meaningless to him.

He casually took out the jade box from his storage bag and opened it. A beautiful purple flower was lying quietly in the jade box. As soon as the jade box was opened, the fresh fragrance filled Mo Wuji with a sense of satisfaction.

Could this Celestial Silk Flower detoxify? Mo Wuji suddenly remembered an old Chinese medicine practitioner he had heard say in his Earth days that there was always an antidote near poisonous plants. Although this statement was not scientific at all, Mo Wuji still thought that the Celestial Silk Flower might be able to detoxify.

Since the Celestial Silk Flower could grow in poisonous mist, it meant that the flower itself was not afraid of the poisonous mist. Perhaps, the Celestial Silk Flower could really detoxify.

Thinking of this, Mo Wuji directly grabbed several Spirit Gathering Pills and swallowed them. He rarely used pills for cultivation, especially in a place surrounded by such rich spiritual energy? But at this moment, Mo Wuji only hoped that he could cultivate to the Perfect Meridian Opening Stage Twelfth Level as soon as possible, and then impact the Spirit Building Stage.

Even if there was a Meridian Opening Stage Thirteenth Level, he would try to use the Celestial Silk Flower to impact the Spirit Building Stage.

Cultivating in the spirit stone mine was much more powerful than cultivating with spirit stones alone. Because when the spirit stones were not mined, they contained a kind of heaven and earth Dao rhythm, which was more suitable for cultivation. Mo Wuji's such a powerful speed of absorbing spiritual energy, not only cultivating in the spirit stone mine, but also using pills, it would be impossible for his cultivation speed not to be fast.

In just two days, Mo Wuji rushed to the Late Meridian Opening Stage Twelfth Level. Mo Wuji swallowed several more Spirit Gathering Pills, and even more frantically absorbed spiritual energy.

It was absolutely rare for a Meridian Opening Stage cultivator to cultivate to the point where spiritual energy formed a spiritual energy vortex around him.

Mo Wuji absorbed spiritual energy very quickly, and his cultivation level improved very quickly. He didn't feel any joy in his heart. It was almost three days, and his body was becoming more and more stiff.

The Meridian Opening Stage Twelfth Level was complete, it was at this time that Mo Wuji stiffly put the Celestial Silk Flower, which he had prepared long ago, into his mouth.

The Celestial Silk Flower had a rose fragrance in the mouth, with a hint of sweetness.

Before Mo Wuji had time to taste the taste of the Celestial Silk Flower, a violent spiritual force directly burned in his body.

This terrifying burning reminded Mo Wuji again of the scene when he had cultivated the Seven Styles of Heavenly Thunder. His internal organs were almost completely burned to ashes.

At this time, Mo Wuji was happy instead. Having had the experience of the Seven Styles of Heavenly Thunder, he was not worried that he would be burned to death by the Celestial Silk Flower. The reason he was happy was because his stiff body began to soften. This showed that the mist poison had gradually disappeared, seemingly burned away by the powerful spiritual force of the Celestial Silk Flower.

It seemed that he had guessed correctly, the Celestial Silk Flower could really detoxify the poison that made the body stiff.

Without any worries, Mo Wuji's cultivation technique was operating to the extreme, frantically absorbing spiritual energy to impact the next realm.

The bursting spiritual energy of the Celestial Silk Flower itself, coupled with the spiritual energy that Mo Wuji was frantically absorbing, was about to burst Mo Wuji's body after several cycles. Mo Wuji knew that this was the most dangerous time. He had the experience of guiding lightning arcs to bombard his meridians. The violent and hot spiritual force of the Celestial Silk Flower was all guided by Mo Wuji into the hundredth spiritual meridian.

"Boom!" Mo Wuji felt that the hundredth meridian was suddenly opened. This was the first time Mo Wuji had opened a meridian, and it caused such a big commotion.

The terrifying spiritual force finally had a place to vent, and Mo Wuji's whole body felt a burst of relaxation.

Subsequently, Mo Wuji was even more pleasantly surprised to find that his Immortal Mortal Technique ran even more smoothly, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy also skyrocketed. A part of his elemental force accumulated in his hundredth meridian.

Elder Dai Zhu's words were not entirely correct. After the hundredth meridian was opened, it could not only accumulate spiritual energy, but also increase the speed of cultivation.

In just the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the spiritual force in Mo Wuji's meridians made a rustling sound under the operation of the cycle, and the surrounding spiritual energy frantically rushed towards Mo Wuji. A kind of power that surpassed the Meridian Opening Stage permeated his whole body at this moment. The spiritual force in Mo Wuji's meridians finally formed a wall, forming a wave-like wall of elemental force.

The Spirit Building Stage was successful. Mo Wuji stood up excitedly. He, a mortal without spiritual roots, after experiencing countless hardships and sufferings, and even brushing shoulders with death several times, finally succeeded in building the spirit at this moment.

All of this was achieved by his own hard work.
