Chapter 9 The Ultimate Spiritual Root
Mo Wuji hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his fists and said, "The two of us are just curious to take a look. I heard that opening a spirit requires a lot of gold coins. We can't even eat enough, and we don't even have a single silver coin. Where did we get the gold coins? The two of us Let's go now."
The white-bearded man's gaze was a little scary, and Mo Wuji had a feeling that it was hard to explain clearly that he shouldn't stay here any longer.
The woman snorted coldly, her eyes flicked past the cloth bag containing gold coins in Mo Wuji's hand, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. Obviously, she knew that the cloth bag in Mo Wuji's hand always contained gold coins, and that's why she disdained and hated the lying Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji was considered sophisticated, so he could naturally see the disgust in this woman's eyes. He even wondered if there was a hole in the cloth bag in his hand. Otherwise, could this woman's gaze pass through his cloth bag?
"Don't rush away, since you're here, let's go in and see if there are any spiritual roots." The white-bearded man continued hoarsely.
Mo Wuji calmed down, he clearly felt that the white-bearded man was not targeting him, but Yan'er beside him. If he came here for Yan'er's spiritual root, but Yan'er obviously didn't test the spiritual root, could he see it? If it wasn't for Yan'er's spiritual roots, then why? He pulled Yan'er behind him, and said in a serious tone, "My lords, my brother and sister don't have any gold coins, and I don't want to open the spirit now, so I'm leaving."
The white-bearded man chuckled, "I'm not asking you to open your spirits. It won't cost you much money to test it. Let's go in..."
How much does the test cost? Mo Wuji was a little puzzled, didn't he say that the test before opening the spirit would cost at least a few hundred gold coins?
"Brother, I heard that it would cost five hundred gold coins just to test it. Some people test that it is a root, and in order to try their luck to open the spirit, they need at least tens of thousands of gold coins, and they use the worst elixir. "If it weren't for the extraordinary demeanor of these two people, Mo Wuji would even suspect that they were human traffickers.
The white-bearded man laughed, "Generally, only after the spiritual root is detected, do you need to consider whether to open the spirit. Once it is a mortal root, they say that some spiritual roots cannot be detected in the spiritual opening pagoda, and simply confuse others to open the spirit directly. Anyway, it’s not a disadvantage.”
Mo Wuji fully understood, what needs tens of thousands of gold coins to several million gold coins to open a spirit? This is completely an act of collecting money from the Spirit Pagoda. As long as you come to test, if it is a mortal root, you will say that you are not sure whether you have a spiritual root, and you can only be sure after the spirit is opened.
Since you want to open the spirit, well, bring the gold coins. Some people even thought the same as him, thinking that the elixir used for the first spiritual opening was not good enough, and they did not develop hidden spiritual roots, and then spent money to do the second spiritual opening.
At this time, Mo Wuji was 100% sure that his cheap daddy had been cheated by taking him to Kailing for the first time.
It must be that he doesn't have spiritual roots, and those guys from the Spirit Opening Pagoda want to earn this spiritual opening fee. In addition, Mo Guangyuan urgently needed him to cultivate, so he spent a lot of gold coins to open the spirit. Of course, those who can be cheated are rich owners.
"Stop." The guards of the Spirit Pagoda didn't seem to know the man and woman, so they also stopped them.
The white-bearded man snorted coldly, "Who is responsible here, get out of here."
The cold snort of the white-bearded man obviously didn't sound very loud, but Mo Wuji felt that his eardrums were about to be shattered, and he felt flustered.
In just a few seconds, an obese middle-aged man rushed out. When he arrived at the entrance of the Spirit Pagoda, he also looked at the man and the woman with some doubts, obviously he didn't know him either.
The man raised his hand and grabbed a jade card and said, "Take me to the best spiritual root testing room here."
When the obese man saw the jade tablet, he shook his hand slightly, and quickly said respectfully, "Yes, yes, I am Liu Chunshan, the deacon in charge here. Please come with me, my lords."
Following Mo Wuji, he felt a powerful force leading him, making him follow the man and woman into the Spirit Pagoda involuntarily.
Mo Wuji's face was a little ugly. He really wanted to test whether he had spiritual roots again. But this kind of inability to resist, being coerced in by someone, made him feel very uncomfortable.
The inside of the Spirit Opening Pagoda was quite spacious. Mo Wuji saw several people paying gold coins. It seemed that they were also here to test or open the spirits.
Liu Chunshan quickly brought the group of people to the second floor of the Kailing Pagoda. Upon entering the second floor, the first thing Mo Wuji saw was a crystal column about ten feet long.
"You go to the test first, just stand behind there." The white-bearded man said in a perfunctory tone, pointing to the place where he was standing behind the crystal cylinder, and said to Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji knew what he meant and asked him to test it for Yan'er's sake. At this time, Mo Wuji had already guessed that the white-bearded man was very optimistic about Yan'er's spiritual root, and he didn't know how he knew it just by looking at it casually.
Even after having tested it once, Mo Wuji was still a little apprehensive even though he knew he had no spiritual roots. He longed for the wrong test last time, and he actually has spiritual roots. At this moment, he even wished that the person who said he had no spiritual roots before wanted to cheat his cheap daddy for more gold coins and let him test it for the second time.
Mo Wuji also knew that this possibility was very small.
"Master, go and test it." Mo Wuji's words yesterday made Yan'er understand that her young master is very eager to have spiritual roots.
Mo Wuji nodded, took a deep breath, walked to the place where the spirit root was tested, and stood on it.
A gray light flashed on the crystal cylinder for a moment, and then it stopped moving.
Mo Wuji didn't know how he had spiritual roots, but the crystal pillar didn't respond at all, and he also knew that this was definitely not a sign of spiritual roots.
Sure enough, the white-bearded man said impatiently, "The most ordinary mortal is destined to be a mortal in this life, come down."
Mo Wuji's whole body was cold and his head was a little dizzy. His strong restraint made him walk off the testing platform as if nothing had happened. His slightly trembling hands showed how disappointed he was at the moment. Even if it's the worst spiritual root, why is it only a mortal root?
"Young master, it doesn't matter if you don't have spiritual roots, and the master doesn't have spiritual roots either." Yan'er hurried up to protect Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji pretended to be calm and smiled, "It's okay, I still have hands without spiritual roots. In the future, we will still eat and drink spicy food."
He sighed inwardly, and he didn't say a word. Because the master doesn't have spiritual roots, there are no bones and dregs eaten by people in Raozhou.
Beautiful women don't even bother to despise Mo Wuji anymore. Only mortals like ants have such lofty ideals.
The white-bearded man didn't care about Mo Wuji at all, but looked at Yan'er with a smile and said, "Little girl, come and test."
Yan'er quickly shook her head, "I don't need to take the test, and I don't want to practice, I'm leaving with the young master."
"Since you're here, let's test it." Following the words of the white-bearded man, Yan'er involuntarily landed on the spot where the spiritual root was tested.
Mo Wuji clenched his fists secretly. He really wanted Yan'er to test it, but now he was forcing Yan'er to test it again, which made him feel even more uncomfortable. Mo Wuji took a breath slowly, no matter how uncomfortable he was, he was as insignificant as an ant in front of this man and woman.
As soon as Yan'er landed on the test platform, within a few seconds, the crystal pillar suddenly burst into bursts of blue light. Soon, the cyan light rushed to the top of the crystal pillar, only about a foot away from reaching the top. The cyan light is soft and shining, like a cyan rainbow.
"Extreme spiritual root!" The white-bearded man and the beautiful woman called out almost at the same time, and Mo Wuji saw a kind of fanaticism in their eyes.
As expected, he came here for Yan'er, and Mo Wuji felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
