Mo Wuji did not even return to the Lotus Sword Summit directly. Instead, he went to the Medicine King Summit to fetch Yan 'Er. He could not place all his hopes on Yan Qianyin. He was a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner, there were other ways for him to go to the Five Elements Desolate Domain.
"Senior apprentice brother Mo, junior apprentice sister Yan 'Er." Seeing Mo Wuji return with Yan' Er, Fei Bingzhu hurried over to greet them.
"Is something the matter?" Mo Wuji only needed one look at Fei Bingzhu's expression to know that something was up. He spent some more time in Alchemy Room 19.
Fei Bingzhu said worriedly, "Yes, yesterday the Second Elder sent someone over. He said that after you come back from the Pill Room, you should make a trip to his place. Also, that surnamed Meng's backer is Second Elder. "
Mo Wuji suddenly thought of Qin Xiangyu's brother, Qin Chen's master, wasn't he also the Second Elder? He didn't expect that Meng Boyu's backer was also the Second Elder.
"Bingzhu, regardless of whether the Treasured Blood Lotus is ripe or not, let's dig it up first." Seeing that this matter had already reached the ears of the Second Elder, Mo Wuji guessed that it would be a little tricky. He might as well let Fei Bingzhu dig up the Treasured Blood Lotus first.
After that, he added, "Pack up everything. We're leaving at any time."
The Second Elder had already investigated him. If Yan Qianyin still hadn't returned, then he needed to leave first. He couldn't stay here and try his luck.
Fei Bingzhu hurriedly said, "Senior apprentice brother, rest assured. I have already prepared a jade box. As long as the Treasured Blood Lotus was stored in a jade box and spirit stones, it could be preserved for several months without being damaged. I'll pack everything else right away. "
Mo Wuji nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Deacon Yuan Qi of the Pill Refiner Hall rushing over.
"Deacon Yuan." Before Yuan Qi could speak, Mo Wuji took the initiative to clasp his fists and greet him.
Yuan Qi glanced at Mo Wuji. He was no longer as passionate as he was the first time they met. Instead, he sighed and said, "Pill Master Mo, the sect head, Senior Sister Yan and a few elders are waiting for you in the sect's hall. Follow me over."
Hearing that Yan Qianyin had returned, Mo Wuji felt slightly relieved. It seemed that Yan Qianyin had not gone to the Medicine King Peak after returning, otherwise he would have met her. He believed that Yan Qianyin would help him again, and he only needed Yan Qianyin to help him this time. After this incident, he would no longer have any relations with the Formless Blade Sect.
Mo Wuji nodded and said calmly to Fei Bingzhu, "Bingzhu, you do what you need to do. I will be back soon."
"Senior Brother, don't worry." Fei Bingzhu nodded his head. He did not know whether Mo Wuji would be able to avoid this round. However, at this point in time, he could only resign himself to fate.
…
Mo Wuji followed the Pill Refiner Hall deacon Yuan Qi into the Formless Blade Sect's main hall. This was his second time entering the main hall; the first time was when he was Shi Jun's ingredient boy. Now that Shi Jun had passed away, he became a guest pill refiner of the Formless Blade Sect. Nothing could be more changeable than this.
The moment he entered the sect's hall, Mo Wuji saw that many elders had gathered here. Even though he had never seen the Second Elder before, he recognized him at first glance. The second elder had a long beard and a gray robe. His eyes were very sharp. Beside the second elder stood a valiant looking young man who resembled Qin Xiangyu. Mo Wuji immediately guessed that this was Qin Chen.
Other than that, the sect's pill refiners were also here. The sect head had a cold expression on his face as he sat at the head of the table without saying a word. What worried Mo Wuji the most was that Pill Master Ju's position had shifted to behind Yan Qianyin. One could guess that Pill Master Ju's position was now second only to Yan Qianyin.
Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, "Lotus Sword Summit's Mo Wuji greets the sect head, elders, summit lords and hall masters."
No one spoke. After a while, Yan Qianyin gently said, "Pill Master Mo, please take a seat."
Mo Wuji thought to himself. It seemed like they were going to target him today.
"Wait, Pill Master Mo, I heard that a service disciple from the Spiritual Herbs Dispensary made a mistake and caused Pill Master Ju's batch of pills to be destroyed. Eventually, he was taken away by the Enforcement Hall. But Pill Master Mo, you disregarded the sect's rules and forcefully went to the Enforcement Hall to take away that service disciple? "Before Mo Wuji could sit down, a fierce-looking man stood up and asked.
Mo Wuji recognised this fella. He was Fire Sword Summit's Cang Qianxing. He had a grudge with Mo Wuji.
As though he did not hear Cang Qianxing's words, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to sit down and sat down on a chair.
Seeing Mo Wuji sit down, not only Cang Qianxing, but even Pill Master Ju and the elders were furious. This Mo Wuji was too arrogant. Didn't he know that he was the one being interrogated?
Without waiting for a second person to stand up, Mo Wuji calmly said to Cang Qianxing, "Summit Lord Cang only heard about it. You can't blame him for this. Because Summit Lord Cang does not know how to concoct pills, he naturally does not know the whole story. I believe that anyone here who knows a little about pill concoction would know that there is a problem with this matter. Pill Master Ju is the best pill refiner in our Formless Blade Summit. Even if his ingredient boy brought out the wrong herb, how could Pill Master Ju not know? Using the wrong herb to concoct pills?
Summit Lord Cang, it's fine if you don't have common sense, but you cannot doubt Pill Master Ju's standards. I'm sure that none of the pill refiners here would make such a low-level mistake. I went to the Enforcement Hall and analyzed the whole story with the people there. We found out that the disciple was wrongly accused, which was why he was acquitted. As for what Summit Lord Cang said about forcefully taking him away, I'm guessing that was just for his own amusement? "
Naturally, Mo Wuji would not stand there just because someone did not allow him to. If he lost his momentum at this point, it would be equivalent to being trampled on. He was not speaking blindly. If a pill refiner could not even identify the herbs he put into the furnace, then he could forget about concocting pills.
This time, no one in the hall stood up to speak up for him. Even Pill Master Ju did not say anything. This was because Mo Wuji's logic was obvious. If a pill refiner could even identify the herbs he needed, then this pill refiner could forget about concocting pills.
Clearly, someone was framing the service disciple in charge of the pharmacy.
Second Elder suddenly asked, "Pill Master Mo, have you seen Pill Master Meng recently?"
Mo Wuji hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists towards Second Elder. Then, he asked curiously, "Elder Xu, I haven't been out since I came to the sect. May I know who this Pill Master Meng is?"
Before he killed Meng Boyu, he did not even know Pill Master Meng. The sect would definitely be able to find out. If he answered that he did not see Pill Master Meng, then there would be a problem. Clearly, this Second Elder's question was very sinister.
A fair-skinned man with slightly squinted eyes said, "Pill Master Mo, according to my Enforcement Hall's investigation, Pill Master Meng went out once a few months ago. A few months ago, Pill Master Meng went out once. A few days later, Pill Master Meng did not return, but Pill Master Mo returned. According to my investigation, there are no records of Pill Master Mo going out before this. "
Mo Wuji's heart sank. This was his only flaw. However, he had no other choice. This was because he did not have any way of returning to the sect without anyone knowing. If he did not do this, the investigation would definitely lead to Wu Kai.
"Recently, I went out twice. As for why there are no records, I believe that Hall Master Sha should be asking the recording disciple, and not me." Mo Wuji insisted that he had gone out before. He definitely could not admit to such a thing. Even if the other party was sure that he was the one who killed Meng Boyu, he could not admit it. As long as he could hold on and leave the sect, he would have won.
"I suspect that the Pill Master Meng who left the sect a few months ago is not him, but …"
"Hall Master Sha, if there is no evidence, then it's best not to casually suspect him. I understand Pill Master Mo very well. He is not a person who likes to find trouble. "Yan Qianyin suddenly interrupted Hall Master Sha's words.
Even though Hall Master Sha was the Enforcement Hall Master, he did not dare to disregard Yan Qianyin's words. He could only forcefully swallow the remaining half of his words. Even though everyone knew what he wanted to say, he could not continue speaking.
Mo Wuji's heart was truly grateful. Even if everyone suspected him of killing Meng Boyu, as long as this matter was not exposed, there would still be room for negotiation. But if it was exposed, then things would not be good.
The Second Elder's cold gaze swept across Mo Wuji's body. Mo Wuji could clearly feel a sharp killing intent. He was sure that even if the Second Elder did not say much, he would not let him off. Yan Qianyin could only protect him in front of everyone. The moment he left the sect's hall, his little life could be reaped by the Second Elder. Mo Wuji was really sick of this feeling of not being able to control his own life.
It was like this in the mortal world of Rao Zhou. Now that he was in a cultivation world, it was still the same.
Gu Ran's voice broke the silence in the hall, "Let's put Pill Master Meng's matter aside for now. Hall Master Sha, you can continue to investigate the cause. After all, the mysterious disappearance of a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner is not a small matter. Pill Master Mo is also a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner of the Formless Blade Sect. If there is no evidence, Hall Master Sha should not affect Pill Master Mo. "
"Yes." The Enforcement Hall Master hurriedly replied. He knew that this was not due to Mo Wuji's status as a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner, but Yan Qianyin's words.
In the eyes of the sect head, Yan Qianyin was definitely the number one person in the sect, other than himself.
Seeing that the Enforcement Hall Master no longer had any objections, Gu Ran nodded his head and continued, "Next, let's discuss the matter of heading to the Five Elements Desolate Domain for the pill competition. The competition is about to begin, and we will set off immediately after this meeting. Because of the Formless Blade Mountain, the only pill refiners that we can send out are Pill Master Yan and Pill Master Ju … "
Yan Qianyin continued, "Sect head, Pill Master Mo has a unique understanding of spiritual herbs, and is not inferior to mine. I hope to bring Pill Master Mo along to help out. Perhaps he might be able to make a name for himself. "
"No way!" This time, before the sect head could speak, the Second Elder took the initiative to say, "Pill Master Mo is still involved in Pill Master Meng's case. Even if we do not have any evidence, we cannot let him represent the sect at the Five Elements Desolate Domain."
Mo Wuji's heart sank. If he stayed in the sect after Yan Qianyin left, he would be courting death. Now that the Second Elder did not even give Yan Qianyin any face, it was obvious that he was determined to kill him.
As he thought of this, he could no longer care about anything else. He slowly stood up, "Elder Xu, I don't mind that you suspect me because of Pill Master Meng's case. Because you are also worthy of suspicion here, it's just suspicion. But just because you suspect me, isn't imprisoning me in the Formless Blade Sect a little too overbearing? "
