"Pill Master Mo!" The person in charge of the Enforcement Hall saw Mo Wuji walk over. He hurried forward to greet him.
Even a guest alchemist would have an extraordinary status in the sect. Moreover, everyone here was a cultivator. Who could be sure that they would not seek help from a pill refiner?
After the Formless Blade Mountain incident, the sect had lost a few pill refiners. This Pill Master Mo in front of him was even favoured by Pill Master Yan. There would definitely be no harm in befriending him. If not for the lack of a good reason, many people would have taken the initiative to befriend him.
"May I know how I should address this deacon?" Mo Wuji asked politely. He knew that even though the Enforcement Hall was arrogant, the main reason was not because of the Enforcement Hall, but because they were giving orders to the people of the Enforcement Hall.
The person in charge hurried to say, "Pill Master Mo can just call me Gong Qian. I didn't know that Pill Master Mo would come to the Enforcement Hall. Sorry for the neglect."
From Gong Qian's attitude, Mo Wuji guessed that this person was neither the Hall Master nor a deacon. Otherwise, he would not be so polite. The Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall was an elder. Even Gong Qian had to pay his respects.
"Brother Gong is too polite. I really have something to trouble the Hall Master with. A distant relative of mine was brought here by the Enforcement Hall. I specially came here to ask the Hall Master to make an exception. I hope that Brother Gong can help me inform the Hall Master. "Mo Wuji said warmly.
Mo Wuji was sure that the Hall Master would not know about such a small matter. Hence, he reported that he wanted to see the Hall Master. He was sure that this Gong Qian would not inform the Hall Master. He might not even let the Hall Master know about this matter.
When Gong Qian heard that Mo Wuji was here to interrogate him, he hurried to ask, "May I know who Pill Master Mo's distant relative is..."
"Fei Bingzhu. The disciple who dispensed the herbs in the spiritual herbs room." Mo Wuji said calmly.
When Gong Qian heard this, he was stunned. Fei Bingzhu was captured by him because he offended Pill Master Ju's ingredient boy. However, after he captured Fei Bingzhu, Pill Master Ju left the Formless Blade Sect to attend the Pill Refiner Exchange. Hence, he did not receive any further instructions from Pill Master Ju.
He didn't expect Fei Bingzhu to have some sort of relationship with Pill Master Mo, and he wasn't sure if Pill Master Ju knew about this. If Pill Master Ju knew, he would rather offend Pill Master Mo than Pill Master Ju. If it was really that ingredient boy playing tricks, then he would have offended this Pill Master Mo, and the gains would not make up for the losses.
"What? Is it very difficult to seek an audience with the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall? "Mo Wuji's voice turned cold.
"No, no." Even though Gong Qian was not afraid of Mo Wuji doing anything to him, Pill Master Yan, who was on good terms with Mo Wuji, was no ordinary person.
Forget it, I'll just hand Fei Bingzhu over first. If Pill Master Ju really asks about this matter, I'll just push all the blame onto this Mo fella. If Apothecary Ju didn't ask about it, then it was as if nothing had happened.
Thinking of this, Gong Qian hurriedly said, "Because Pill Master Ju's medicine boy came to report that Junior Brother Fei had mixed the wrong medicine, I had to imprison Junior Brother Fei. Now that I don't have Alchemist Ju's token, I don't dare to casually put it in … "
Mo Wuji said indifferently, "If anyone asks about you, just say that I, Mo Wuji, was the one who brought him away. If there's anything, tell him to look for me."
Gong Qian was waiting for these words from Mo Wuji. Now that Mo Wuji had said these words, he did not hesitate to bring Fei Bingzhu out of the prison cell.
Fei Bingzhu's entire body was covered in purple marks, and his hair was in a mess. Just as he was wondering why he was suddenly brought out of the prison cell, he saw Mo Wuji.
Understanding everything, Fei Bingzhu hurried forward to thank Mo Wuji, but Mo Wuji stopped him. Mo Wuji only clasped his fists towards Gong Qian, nodded, and brought Fei Bingzhu away.
…
An hour later, Fei Bingzhu returned to the Lotus Sword Summit to wash up and eat. Only then did he regain some energy.
"Senior apprentice brother Mo, if not for you, I would have been dead. That medicine boy surnamed Ju was too much. With just a sentence, he wanted to kill me. Fortunately, that Ju fella and Pill Master Yan went to participate in the Pill Refiner's Exchange. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to wait until today. "After recovering a little, Fei Bingzhu hurried to thank Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji asked for the reason, and it was indeed as Wu Rongzhi had said. It was because Fei Bingzhu helped him speak up. Moreover, he did not belittle Pill Master Ju from the start, and was brought to the Enforcement Hall by Pill Master Ju's medicine boy.
"Junior apprentice brother Fei, if you don't mind, you can stay at my Lotus Sword Summit." Mo Wuji knew that Fei Bingzhu had nowhere else to go.
Fei Bingzhu was a good person, so Mo Wuji did not mind keeping him, and even helped him.
"Many thanks senior apprentice brother Mo for taking me in. I've concocted spiritual herbs for many years, so I have an understanding of them. If Pill Master Mo needs a medicine boy, I might be able to help. "Fei Bingzhu knew that Mo Wuji did not like to thank him too much.
Mo Wuji laughed, "I really need junior apprentice brother Fei's help. Do you know anything about the Treasured Blood Lotus and Guan Li?"
Hearing Mo Wuji ask about Guan Li and the Treasured Blood Lotus, Fei Bingzhu immediately said, "Senior apprentice brother Mo, I'm not trying to brag, but I'm afraid that I'm the one who knows Elder Guan the best in the Formless Blade Sect."
Seeing that Mo Wuji was looking at him in confusion, Fei Bingzhu continued, "Because my grandfather helped Elder Guan nurture the Treasured Blood Lotus for tens of years. When Elder Guan left, he arranged for my grandfather to be sent to the place to concoct spiritual herbs. The reason why I can concoct medicine in the Spiritual Medicine Storehouse is because of my grandfather. After my grandfather passed away, he begged the sect to hand over the task of concocting medicine to me. "
Hearing Fei Bingzhu's words, Mo Wuji was instantly energized, and hurriedly asked, "Junior apprentice brother Fei, I urgently need the Treasured Blood Lotus, but I can't find it in any of the big merchant houses …"
Fei Bingzhu didn't wait for Mo Wuji to finish his sentence before saying, "Senior apprentice brother Mo, it's normal that you couldn't buy it. Even though the Treasured Blood Lotus is a Tier 3 spiritual herb, its value is much higher than a Tier 4 spiritual herb. The main reason is that the Treasured Blood Lotus can be used to concoct many pills that are beneficial to spirit channels. Apart from that, the Treasured Blood Lotus is an extremely delicious ingredient. Not only is it delicious, it can also nourish one's complexion. Many sects want to buy it, and the price is getting higher and higher. It can be said that the moment the Treasured Blood Lotus is produced, it would be snatched away by others. There's simply no way for it to be sold in the city square. "
Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. No wonder he couldn't buy the Treasured Blood Lotus. Not only could it be used to concoct pills related to spirit channels, it was also a dish on the tables of the rich.
For any cultivator, spirit channels were the most important thing. For the same spiritual roots, the more spirit channels one opened, the more potential one would have. The Treasured Blood Lotus was related to spirit channels, so its value would naturally rise.
Just like how he was looking for the Treasured Blood Lotus to open meridians.
"Moreover, this is not the main reason why the Treasured Blood Lotus is so rare. The main reason why the Treasured Blood Lotus is so rare, other than being hard to cultivate, is that it absorbs too much spiritual energy. Any place with dense spiritual energy, as long as the Treasured Blood Lotus is cultivated, after many years, the spiritual energy there will become sparse. This kind of spiritual energy deficiency is extremely hard to recover from, "Fei Bingzhu seemed to know quite a lot about the Treasured Blood Lotus.
"Junior apprentice brother Fei, I want to cultivate the Treasured Blood Lotus. Do you know where I can get the seeds?" Mo Wuji calmed himself down and asked.
Fei Bingzhu shook his head, "The seeds of the Treasured Blood Lotus cannot be bought …"
When Mo Wuji heard this, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, causing his entire body to turn cold.
Fei Bingzhu followed up, "But there is a way to get the seeds of the Treasured Blood Lotus at the Lotus Sword Summit …"
"Hurry up and say it …" Mo Wuji stood up excitedly and grabbed Fei Bingzhu.
Fei Bingzhu hurriedly said, "Senior apprentice brother Mo, don't be anxious. After Elder Guan left, he did not dig up all the Treasured Blood Lotus seeds at the Lotus Sword Summit, but left some roots in the middle of the lake. These roots can only be found by people who are proficient in cultivating the Treasured Blood Lotus, and I happen to be proficient in the habits of the Treasured Blood Lotus. Even though I have never personally cultivated the Treasured Blood Lotus, my grandfather has imparted his experience in this area to me.
If senior apprentice brother Mo trusts me, I can go to the lake to find the remaining roots now. However, the spiritual energy here is sparse, so I cannot cultivate too many. "
Mo Wuji patted Fei Bingzhu, "It's enough that you can cultivate it, no matter how much you cultivate it. Bingzhu, I'll have to trouble you with this matter."
After eating Mo Wuji, he became much more spirited. His good intentions were repaid. If he did not save Fei Bingzhu, where would he get news of the Treasured Blood Lotus? Even if he could not find the Treasured Blood Lotus at the Lotus Sword Summit, as long as Fei Bingzhu was proficient in the habits of the Treasured Blood Lotus, he would eventually be able to find it elsewhere.
