After seeing Mu Ying's appeal, Mo Wuji did not write down the Treasured Blood Lotus. The only thing he could offer was the Treasured Blood Lotus. Now that Mu Ying needed it, he might as well exchange it with her later.
"Pill Master Mo …" At this moment, a surprised voice rang in Mo Wuji's ear.
Mo Wuji turned to see Yan Qianyin walking over. Beside Yan Qianyin was a fella that he did not want to see, Pill Master Ju.
"Junior apprentice brother Mo, I've been worried about you. Now that you're here, I'm relieved," Yan Qianyin said excitedly.
Mo Wuji laughed, "Thank you senior apprentice sister Yan. My luck is not bad, I managed to escape."
Yan Qianyin said apologetically, "I'm sorry, junior apprentice brother Mo. This time, it was because of me that you fell into danger."
Mo Wuji knew that this matter could not be blamed on Yan Qianyin. Yan Qianyin did not know that he would kill Meng Boyu, which was why she was caught unprepared by the Second Elder.
"Senior apprentice sister Yan, this matter cannot be blamed on you. Furthermore, it's all in the past now," Mo Wuji waved his hand.
"Hmph, someone with such a vile character like you will eventually fall into the hands of Senior Xu," Pill Master Ju was extremely unhappy to see Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji furrowed his brows and asked, "Senior apprentice sister Yan? Who's this fella? "
Yan Qianyin smiled faintly, as if she did not know that Mo Wuji already knew Pill Master Ju. She continued, "This is Formless Blade Sect's Pill Master Ju Feiyang, a peak Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner."
Mo Wuji laughed coldly, "I thought you were a Heavenly Pill Refiner. You speak as if you're a pill king from the Five Great Empires. Speaking of which, who are you? "
Mo Wuji had enough of being in the Formless Blade Sect. This was not the Formless Blade Sect.
Ju Feiyang's face turned ugly, but he knew where he was. His tone became even calmer as he said, "I'm indeed not a Heavenly Pill Refiner, and I'm not that kind of person. However, I, Ju Feiyang, would never kill a fellow disciple … "
Originally, the quarrel between Mo Wuji and Ju Feiyang had already attracted the attention of many people. Now that Ju Feiyang had purposely said that he would kill his own sect brother, it immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding people. Even Mu Ying, who had just received the pine pulse, had a look of disgust on her face. A person who killed even his own sect was obviously extremely vile.
Yan Qianyin wanted to defend Mo Wuji, but she did not know how to do so. She also guessed that Mo Wuji really did kill Meng Boyu. As for the reason, based on her understanding of Mo Wuji, it was definitely not without reason.
Mo Wuji swept a cold glance at Ju Feiyang as he thought to himself: You dare to debate with me? You're still not good enough. In his previous life, he had participated in countless forums and argued with many experts in the medical field. How could he be afraid of Ju Feiyang, who only knew how to refine pills? I'm not afraid of you when it comes to alchemy, but I'll kill you in a debate.
At the same time, he also knew that he had to change Mu Ying's opinion of him in the shortest time possible. It was fine if others hated him, but he definitely could not let Mu Ying hate him.
"Fellow alchemists, before I explain myself, let me tell you a story. There was a man of virtue and prestige who accepted several disciples. One of them is called Yan. Because this disciple is not good with words and socializing, he is not liked by the other disciples. "
Because Mo Wuji's opening speech was about to tell a story, the hall was incomparably silent. Mo Wuji's voice was slightly low, but in this silent hall, it was even more persuasive.
"This year, there was a famine. This mister and his disciples could only survive with porridge. To respect mister, the thickest part of the porridge would always be served to mister. One day, as usual, Yan brought a bowl of porridge to mister. Unexpectedly, a speck of dust flew over and landed on the porridge. Yan scooped up the dust with a spoon, but he felt that it would be a waste to throw it away, so he ate the dusty porridge.
This entire process was seen clearly by mister, and at the same time, it was also seen by another disciple of mister. The only difference was that the disciple did not see the dust. That disciple then told mister that Yan had secretly eaten mister's porridge. All the disciples looked at Yan with disdain. Mister Wei sighed, sometimes what you see isn't true.
Fellow friends, since what you see isn't true, how can you believe a one-sided story? "
Mu Ying muttered to herself, then clasped her fists towards Mo Wuji apologetically, "Previously, my first impression was the strongest, and my heart was filled with disgust towards you. This caused me to lose my rational judgement."
Mo Wuji hurriedly said, "Senior apprentice sister Mu can't be blamed. Most people would have the same thoughts after hearing about killing a fellow disciple."
Ju Feiyang's face darkened. He did not expect Mo Wuji to lose the upper hand with just a story before he even started to defend himself.
"Since that's the case, I believe that Pill Master Mo did not kill a fellow disciple," Mu Ying said.
Mo Wuji clasped his fists in all directions, then said, "Fellow pill friends, I was a guest pill refiner at the Formless Blade Sect. Before I left the Formless Blade Sect, I did kill a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner, his name was Meng Boyu. "
The hall fell silent. When all the pill refiners heard Mo Wuji's words, they thought that Mo Wuji was going to defend himself, that he did not kill a fellow disciple. Who knew that in the end, he would still admit to killing a fellow disciple. It seemed like Pill Master Ju did not malign him.
Because of Mo Wuji's previous story, no one stood out to question Mo Wuji. All the pill refiners present knew that Mo Wuji definitely had more to say.
Mo Wuji continued, "Because I became a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner by chance, I was hired by the Formless Blade Sect as a guest pill refiner, staying at the Lotus Sword Summit and the Blood Lotus Lake. These two places are the places with the least spiritual energy in the sect, so no one fought with me for them. "
All the pill refiners nodded their heads. To them, a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner, and a guest pill refiner at that, naturally would not be given a good place.
"A few months ago, one of my managers dug out a Treasured Blood Lotus at the Blood Lotus Lake …"
When Mo Wuji said this, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. Mu Ying's eyes lit up as she stared at Mo Wuji. Treasured Blood Lotuses were getting rarer and rarer these years. Even if there were a few, they were all defective. Now that she urgently needed the Treasured Blood Lotus, she naturally paid close attention to Mo Wuji's words.
Even Yan Qianyin stared at Mo Wuji in shock. She did not think that the cause of the incident was the Treasured Blood Lotus.
"At this time, Meng Boyu went to the Blood Lotus Lake. Naturally, he saw the Treasured Blood Lotus and his eyes turned red with greed, wanting to snatch it away. My manager naturally did not want the Treasured Blood Lotus to be snatched away by him. In the end, he was severely injured by Meng Boyu. Just as Meng Boyu was about to kill him, I arrived just in time. Snatching my things at my place, wanting to kill the people around me, and even wanting to kill me. Fellow pill refiner friends, if it were you, what would you do? "
"If it were me, I would have smashed his head into a pulp with one punch." Just as Mo Wuji finished speaking, Zhen Shaoru's rude voice could be heard. This fella had eaten his fill of spiritual fruits and was currently looking for Mo Wuji.
"Pill Master Mo, may I know where the Treasured Blood Lotus is?"
At this moment, no one cared about Meng Boyu, and no one cared about Zhen Shaoru's rude words. Most of them were concerned about the whereabouts of the Treasured Blood Lotus.
With so many people asking, Mu Ying also hurried to ask, "Pill Master Mo, is the Treasured Blood Lotus still there?"
Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. Indeed, everything else was secondary.
"Mo Wuji, since Pill Master Meng is already dead, you're just a service disciple. Don't you think you can say whatever you want?" Ju Feiyang saw that Mo Wuji was in complete control of the situation, and even obtained the Treasured Blood Lotus.
If he knew that the Treasured Blood Lotus was found at the Blood Lotus Lake, he would not have let Mo Wuji off even if Yan Qianyin tried to stop him. One must know that the Treasured Blood Lotus at the Blood Lotus Lake was at least a hundred years old. Unfortunately, it was all too late. This Mo Wuji had escaped this calamity.
"Pill Master Ju, no matter how biased you are against Pill Master Mo, you cannot call Pill Master Mo a service disciple." A pill refiner in the crowd called out unhappily.
Ju Feiyang said coldly, "He was originally a service disciple recruited by the Formless Blade Sect from the secular world. It was only because of some dumb luck that he became a pill refiner."
Mu Ying suddenly asked, "Pill Master Mo, your name is Mo Wuji. I wonder if you are related to the Drug Refiner Mo who developed the Mo Clan's medicinal solution?"
Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, "Many thanks for senior apprentice sister Mu's praise. I am not talented, but I am the drug refiner who publicized penicillin. I was originally born in a prefecture king's family. Because the position of the prefecture king was coveted by others, my family was destroyed. As for my pill dao, it was also passed down in my family. "
At this point, Mo Wuji did not have many reservations. Even if Situ Qian was standing in front of him, he would still dare to say such words.
Zhen Shaoru immediately shouted, "Someone actually dared to snatch a small prefecture king's position. Tell me which birdman it is, I will go and knock his balls off. Where's that state's monarch? Is that fella an idiot? "
In Zhen Shaoru's eyes, a state's monarch was really nothing.
No one cared about Zhen Shaoru's words because of Mu Ying's previous praise. After hearing that Mo Wuji was the drug refiner who contributed the Mo Clan's medicinal solution, many people's views of Mo Wuji had already changed. As for Ju Feiyang's words, who would care about it?
"So you're Drug Refiner Mo. Mu Ying thanks Drug Refiner Mo on behalf of the countless mortals who benefited from it." Mu Ying even bowed slightly.
Mo Wuji hurriedly said that he did not dare to. He immediately took out a Treasured Blood Lotus and said, "Senior apprentice sister Mu, because I don't have many spirit stones on me, I would like to use this Treasured Blood Lotus to exchange for a few spiritual herbs. It's just that I don't know the value of the Treasured Blood Lotus, and whether I can exchange it for … "
Mu Ying grabbed the jade box from Mo Wuji's hands and immediately opened it. A section of the Treasured Blood Lotus, which was sparkling and translucent like a ruby, lay in the jade box, emitting a faint fragrance.
The surrounding pill refiners let out gasps of surprise. After looking at the Treasured Blood Lotus, Mu Ying said, "This is a Treasured Blood Lotus that is close to a hundred years old. Its value is very high. I have not seen a Treasured Blood Lotus of this age for many years. The only pity is that the lotus thread is gone. This greatly reduces the value of the Treasured Blood Lotus. "
When Mo Wuji heard these words, he suddenly felt regret. It was not because he had taken away the Treasured Blood Lotus thread, but because he had made a mistake. He thought that the Treasured Blood Lotus cultivated by Fei Bingzhu was of the same value as the Treasured Blood Lotus in his hands. Now that he heard Mu Ying's words, he realised that the Treasured Blood Lotus also had a difference in age.
However, he only had a few stalks of the aged Treasured Blood Lotus Root left.
