Old Five is a Goose.

Chapter 978: Flame Advancement

When Qu Chen Dan and Di Jie left, they still couldn't quite believe it. According to Mo Wuji, they could easily cultivate top-grade Azure Dew Rice. If top-grade Azure Dew Rice were so easy to grow, it wouldn't be so precious.

However, they also hoped that what Mo Wuji said was true. So, as soon as Mo Wuji finished speaking, the two hurriedly bid farewell to him, eager to return and try planting a patch of Azure Dew Rice.

Mo Wuji had also gained a lot. After seeing off Qu Chen Dan and Di Jie, he immediately instructed Shuaiguo and Chi Chuan before leaving Lingxiao City.

For Mo Wuji, the most urgent thing was to quickly advance his Azure Heart Flame. Lingxiao City was not the Cosmos Edge, and he wasn't the feared Sect Leader Mo of the Cosmos Edge in Lingxiao City.

With his current strength, he wouldn't dare to take out the Chaos Fire Mother Crystal in Lingxiao City to advance his Azure Heart Flame. Even with restrictions, he wouldn't risk it.

Once the aura of a Chaos Treasure was leaked, everyone would likely swarm in. Mo Wuji knew his strength was very low. In the God Domain, he had been forced into a desperate situation due to offending people and had no choice but to cross the Sea of Extinction to come to the Divine Continent.

He didn't want to be forced into a desperate situation again just after arriving in the Divine Continent.

In addition to that, Mo Wuji also wanted to go to Dewfall Divine City. Qu Chen Dan had mentioned that the Dewfall Divine City auction a few days later would not only feature the Chaos Fire Mother Crystal but also a Rootless Divine Iron.

Rootless Divine Iron was a Houtian (acquired) material, but many Xiantian (innate) materials weren't necessarily as valuable as Rootless Divine Iron. The reason was that Rootless Divine Iron was a material with no attributes. Even those who didn't know how to forge could refine it into their own magic weapon.

The most important thing about Rootless Divine Iron was that once it became a cultivator's magic weapon, it would automatically advance. Reaching its final form, it wouldn't be any weaker than an innate magic weapon. This was somewhat similar to the medicine cauldron stone Mo Wuji had obtained, except that the medicine cauldron stone was an innate material.

For this reason alone, Rootless Divine Iron was even more valuable. If your strength was low, you wouldn't dare to use an innate magic weapon. Rootless Divine Iron didn't have this restriction. Once it became your magic weapon, it would turn into the most ordinary thing, undetectable by anyone.

Among the five great Houtian materials of the God World, Rootless Divine Iron ranked third. The other four were World Stone, Void Stillwater, Ferry Bamboo, and Nameless Gold.

Since arriving in the God Domain, Mo Wuji had been using the ugly halberd he forged himself. His Crescent Moon Halberd was already outdated.

When the difference in cultivation realm wasn't too great, magic weapons directly affected the outcome of a battle. Therefore, Mo Wuji planned to buy this Rootless Divine Iron to have something to protect himself in the future.

There was no direct teleportation array between Dewfall Divine City and Lingxiao City. The distance from Lingxiao City was a full two days. According to Qu Chen Dan, the auction was in four days, which was enough time for Mo Wuji.

A day later, Mo Wuji appeared in a boundless canyon far from Lingxiao City. In the canyon, Mo Wuji found an open space and set up layers upon layers of formation restrictions before taking out his Azure Heart Flame.

The nine flame buds at the center of the Azure Heart Flame already had a verdant color. This Azure Heart Flame had clearly reached the peak of Ninth Grade Immortal Flame.

Mo Wuji took out a Chaos Fire Mother Crystal again. This Chaos Fire Mother Crystal lived up to its name as a Chaos Treasure. Advancing the Azure Heart Flame to Ninth Grade Immortal Flame didn't cause the slightest damage to it.

As expected, as soon as Mo Wuji took out the Chaos Fire Mother Crystal, the Azure Heart Flame emitted a cheerful jump and directly devoured the Chaos Fire Mother Crystal in Mo Wuji's hand.

The flames suddenly burst out to a height of dozens of feet, and the nine flame buds in the middle began to melt rapidly. Mo Wuji could clearly feel the temperature of the Azure Heart Flame rising, reaching a terrifying level in an extremely short time.

Although it was just a flame, Mo Wuji could hear crackling sounds coming from the flame. It seemed that some rules were shattering, and then some new rules were condensing.

Half an hour later, the Azure Heart Flame rapidly subsided. A flame that was so green it was almost dripping water appeared in Mo Wuji's palm. Mo Wuji clearly saw three faint golden lines on the Azure Heart Flame.

A familiar feeling came over him. Mo Wuji felt a terrifying temperature that was dozens of times stronger than an Immortal Flame. In the center of the Azure Heart Flame, it seemed that a life was being nurtured. Mo Wuji could even feel the aura of this life.

Third Grade Divine Flame, Mo Wuji was very satisfied. Having the Chaos Fire Mother Crystal was great. His Azure Heart Flame simply advanced to Third Grade Divine Flame. This was still because his cultivation was too low. Otherwise, it wouldn't be impossible to advance to a higher grade.

If he went to the auction to buy a Chaos Fire Mother Crystal, it wouldn't be easy. With his wealth, perhaps only that golden Quiet Dao Sand could be brought out. As for whether it could be exchanged for a Fire Mother Crystal, it was hard to say.

No matter how precious the golden Quiet Dao Sand was, it was far inferior to the Chaos Fire Mother Crystal. The only hope was that the golden Quiet Dao Sand was something that all God Kings desired. It was a treasure that could give God Kings a chance to step into the God Combining realm.

This time, letting the Azure Heart Flame advance to a Divine Flame finally consumed a bit of the Chaos Fire Mother Crystal, but the consumption was still limited. It could be seen that even a Divine Flame couldn't cause too much consumption of his Chaos Fire Mother Crystal.

The Azure Heart Flame took half an hour to advance. Regardless of whether anyone had discovered the aura of the Chaos Fire Mother Crystal, he had to leave as soon as possible.

Mo Wuji put away the array flags at the fastest speed, and then a Wind Shift disappeared without a trace.

Only half a stick of incense after Mo Wuji left, a man in a golden shirt landed at the location where Mo Wuji had advanced his Fire Mother Crystal. He looked at the empty space, suddenly bent down, and carefully examined the surrounding soil before muttering, "As expected, it's a Chaos Fire Mother Crystal."

As soon as he finished speaking, his expression changed, and he immediately fled. Two more figures landed. These two figures stayed at the location where Mo Wuji advanced his Azure Heart Flame for even less time, then quickly left in the direction of the golden-shirted man.

……

At this moment, Mo Wuji had already entered Dewfall Divine City.

After arriving in Lingxiao City, Mo Wuji had not revealed his true face, even when teaching Qu Chen Dan and Di Jie how to plant Azure Dew Rice. He was using the appearance of a yellow-faced cultivator.

Now that he had come to Dewfall Divine City, he had disguised himself as an ordinary middle-aged rogue cultivator. The mid-grade divine artifact mask that Qu You gave him played a great role for Mo Wuji.

Dewfall Divine City was even more prosperous than Lingxiao City. Although the outside of the city didn't look as grand as Lingxiao City, as soon as he entered the city, Mo Wuji felt that its foundation was far stronger than Lingxiao City.

Even Fifth Grade Divine Pills could be seen on the notice boards outside some commercial buildings. As for weapon pavilions, Mo Wuji could occasionally see top-grade divine artifacts as shop centerpieces.

In the Divine Continent, even the magic weapons used by God Kings were only top-grade divine artifacts.

Mo Wuji quickly found the location of the auction that Qu Chen Dan mentioned. The auction was originally hosted by Dewfall Divine City. Huge propaganda array screens were erected everywhere. According to the information on the propaganda, this auction was the largest auction in Dewfall Divine City in a hundred years.

The purpose of the auction was also clearly stated, which was to prepare for the upcoming assessment of the Nirvana Academy.

An entrance ticket for the main hall cost five thousand top-grade divine crystals. As for the price of a private room, it was even more exorbitant, and even if Mo Wuji had divine crystals, he couldn't get one. This made Mo Wuji secretly amazed. This auction could earn countless divine crystals just from the tickets.

Mo Wuji was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to buy a ticket for the main hall later, so he quickly bought one. Looking at the numbers on the ticket, it was already close to ten thousand. The seat was in the eighty-seventh row, seat one hundred and thirty-two.

With one day left until the auction, Mo Wuji didn't even look for an inn and went to Danqian Trading Company, the largest divine herb shop in Dewfall Divine City.

Mo Wuji hadn't been in the Divine Continent for many days, but he had heard Chi Kun say that Danqian Trading Company in Dewfall City had a lot of divine herbs, and they were complete.

After Mo Wuji stepped into Danqian Trading Company, he discovered that although the Danqian Trading Company was large, it was still crowded.

At least one or two thousand cultivators were squeezed into the hall. According to Mo Wuji's observation, most of these cultivators were here to sell divine herbs. Almost none of them were here to buy divine herbs like Mo Wuji.

The divine herbs being sold were mostly below Fourth Grade. It was rare to see Fifth Grade divine herbs, and even when they were seen, there were only one or two plants.

With no one to greet him, Mo Wuji could only squeeze his way inside and asked, "I want to buy a large number of high-grade divine herbs at a high price. Is the deacon available?"

Perhaps the words "buy at a high price" attracted the people in the shop. A fair-skinned man with no beard greeted him with a smile: "May I ask which pill shop you are from?"

"I am here on behalf of our family, and the quantity we buy is definitely large," Mo Wuji said with a smile.

Those who came here to buy a large number of divine herbs were usually pill shops or alchemists who sent people.

Hearing Mo Wuji say that he was sent by his family, the man said with an even more flattering smile, "I am Gong Kai, the deacon of Danqian Trading Company. Please come upstairs, friend."

The first floor hall of Danqian Trading Company was noisy and crowded, but the second floor was extremely quiet. Mo Wuji only saw a few cultivators who were led into various rooms by the shop assistants. These should be like him, making private transactions.

Mo Wuji also entered a quiet room under the guidance of Gong Kai. As soon as the two sat down, a female cultivator brought over two cups of hot divine herb tea.

"Which divine herbs does the Dao friend need?" Gong Kai didn't ask which family Mo Wuji represented. From his experience, he could tell at a glance that Mo Wuji didn't represent a family. But this didn't prevent him from doing business with Mo Wuji. Generally speaking, guys like Mo Wuji who were secretive had the most profit to be made and were very likely to get good things.

"I need Fifth Grade divine herbs, the more the better," Mo Wuji said straightforwardly.
