"What is it?" Mo Wuji asked curiously.
Logically speaking, Wen Lianxi was the young castellan of a low immortal city and now that he had promised to help her in the competition, what else could she be so worried about?
"Something happened in the Yong Ying Grand Alchemy Competition …" Wen Lianxi's voice was filled with difficulty as she seemed to have lost her mind.
Mo Wuji's heart jolted. He was more concerned about this Grand Alchemy Competition. What he was concerned about was the opening of the Yunxian Immortal Valley after the alchemy competition. If something went wrong during the alchemy competition and the Yunxian Immortal Valley couldn't be opened, where was he going to get the Underworld Heart Flower?
"What is it?" Mo Wuji quickly calmed down.
"My father sent a message. Just now, the Celestial Emperor received pressure from all sides and changed the conditions of the competition. Getting rid of the region restriction and the age restriction … "Wen Lianxi's voice was filled with despair.
When Mo Wuji heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. It didn't seem like the competition wasn't going to happen. It was just that the identity of the pill refiner participating in the competition had changed. This shouldn't affect his participation right? Why was Wen Lianxi in such despair?
With a quick thought, Mo Wuji finally understood why Wen Lianxi was in such despair. This meant that all alchemists in the Celestial Domain could participate in the competition. Even alchemy emperors could participate. In this way, Mo Wuji, who originally had a chance of getting a placing, no longer had any hope in Wen Lianxi's eyes.
Who wouldn't want to enter a place like the Yunxian Immortal Valley? Even those Pill Emperors wanted to enter, let alone the sects and Heaven Lords of the various Immortal Domains.
What did a place with Tier 9 immortal herbs mean?
"Lianxi, you don't have to worry. This doesn't affect us much." Mo Wuji consoled her.
Mo Wuji was truly not worried. After all, he was a Honored Grade Tier 5 Pill King, and could even concoct low grade Tier 6 immortal pills. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a Tier 6 Pill King. With his current strength, even if all the alchemists in the Immortal Domain participated, it shouldn't be a problem for him to enter the top 50.
Mo Wuji knew that there weren't many Pill Emperors in all seven Immortal Domains. Let's not talk about whether or not those Alchemy Emperors would participate in the competition. Even if those Alchemy Emperors put down their pride to participate in the competition, so what? This competition was for the top 50, not the top 5.
As for the pressure that the Heavenly Emperor was under, Mo Wuji could roughly guess it. Needless to say, it should be the other sects and experts from the other Immortal Domains who were jealous of Yong Ying Immortal Domain's Yunxian Immortal Valley. This was why they wanted to exert pressure on Yong Ying Immortal Domain's Heaven Lord. They wanted to use the competition to obtain some placings to enter Yunxian Immortal Valley.
"My father asked me to send the jade token back immediately …" Wen Lianxi said with difficulty.
Originally, his Water Ying Immortal City wanted to find a stronger pill refiner to participate in the competition, but it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Now, there were simply too many pill refiners that could help Yong Ying Immortal Domain in the competition. There were so many that they didn't even need to search for them; they would come knocking on their doors.
Mo Wuji could empathize with Wen Lianxi's feelings because there were too many experts in the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance and he himself was one of them. Now that the Yunxian Immortal Valley had passed the Grand Alchemy Competition, the various pill refiners of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance would definitely be searching everywhere for a slot like him.
Mo Wuji did not continue to make any promises. There were too many experts in the world. Even though he was confident that he could enter the top 50, he was not certain. Moreover, he had already told Wen Lianxi that it wouldn't affect him much. If Wen Lianxi wanted to forcefully take back his slot, he wouldn't be able to snatch it from her.
However, he believed that even without Wen Lianxi's jade token, he would still be able to obtain a slot. At the very most, he would just use his status as an honorary elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance.
Seeing Wen Lianxi's pale face, Mo Wuji continued, "I have 70% confidence that I would be able to obtain a placing for Water Ying Immortal City. Moreover, I have to say something unpleasant. Even if you take back your jade token and invite other pill refiners to participate, the result wouldn't be much better."
How would Wen Lianxi not know that Mo Wuji's last sentence was true? With such an unlimited competition system, Water Ying Immortal City wouldn't have much of a competitive edge. All the good pill kings would be snatched away by others. Water Ying Immortal City would probably only get the worst pill kings.
Usually, Tier 4 and Tier 5 Pill Kings were already impressive existences. However, in the Grand Alchemy Competition, they really didn't count for much. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were the worst.
"Big Brother Mo, I believe you. Stay here first. I will go back and talk to my father. When the time comes, you just have to represent my Water Ying Immortal City in the competition. " Wen Lianxi finally made up her mind. She had already made a mistake the first time. If she were to make a second mistake and take back her jade token, it wouldn't be a misunderstanding anymore. It would be a problem with her character.
After Wen Lianxi finished speaking, she bowed towards Mo Wuji before turning to leave.
Mo Wuji hurried to stop Wen Lianxi, "Wait, let's exchange information."
Wen Lianxi shook her head, "It's okay. I'm worried that my father would force me to say it. I will leave first. I will leave the competition to Big Brother Mo."
Wen Lianxi was really worried. Even if her father didn't force her, her mother would definitely think of ways to make her reveal Mo Wuji's identity.
Seeing Wen Lianxi leave the resthouse in a hurry, Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. People really can't be compared with each other.
He thought of the equally stunning Ji Yue. That woman only knew how to use and exploit others. Whether it was Ji Yue or Murong Xiangyu, their characters couldn't be compared to Wen Lianxi.
Just as Mo Wuji was about to send a message to Lin Gu, he received a message from Lin Gu. Lin Gu didn't even use his identity token to find a place to stay. It was at the Yue Gui Immortal Resthouse and she even booked a room for him.
…
Ying Valley Immortal Resthouse, the number one immortal resthouse in Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Whether it was its location or its level of luxury, it was one of a kind.
Even though Water Ying Immortal City was only a low grade immortal city, as the castellan of Water Ying Immortal City, Wen Hou, was qualified to stay in the Ying Valley Immortal Resthouse.
At this instant, Wen Lianxi, who had just returned, was standing in a room on the fourth floor of the Ying Valley Immortal Resthouse. At the very top, there were four people. Besides the castellan of Water Ying Immortal City, Wen Hou, there was also the Tier 4 Pill King, Tan Liang. Even though Tan Liang was a Tier 4 Pill King, he represented the highest standard of the Pill Dao in Water Ying Immortal City.
Of the other two, one of them was wearing a crown. His eyes were squinted and he didn't seem to care about anything. The remaining person had an arrogant look on his face as he looked down at Wen Lianxi. As for Wen Lianxi's mother, she could only sit below.
"Lianxi, hurry and greet the two Pill Kings of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, Pill King Geng Ji and Pill King Di Baisheng," The moment Wen Lianxi entered, Wen Hou said anxiously.
Wen Lianxi bowed obediently, "Wen Lianxi greets Senior Pill King Geng and Senior Pill King Di."
Geng Ji's eyes were still squinted and he didn't react. It was unknown whether he heard Wen Lianxi's greeting or not. As for the arrogant Di Baisheng, he nodded his head slightly.
Wen Hou hurriedly said, "Lianxi, quickly take out your jade token for the alchemy competition. Pill King Geng Ji and Pill King Di Baisheng are both Tier 5 Pill Kings of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. It is our fortune that they are willing to represent our Water Ying Immortal City in this competition … "
"Then what about Uncle Tan?" Wen Lianxi jolted as she didn't remember that she couldn't take out her jade token. Instead, she was worried about Tan Liang.
Tan Liang had put in a lot of effort for Water Ying Immortal City. Now that someone had come to participate in the competition, it didn't seem right to kick Uncle Tan away immediately.
When Tan Liang heard that Wen Lianxi was still thinking about him, he hurried to say, "Lianxi, you don't have to worry about me. I will only be happy that our Water Ying Immortal City has Pill Dao Immortal Alliance's Pill Kings to help us in the competition. "
Wen Hou nodded, "Lianxi, you don't have to worry about this. Just take out your jade token and give it to me."
"I'm sorry, father. I can't get my jade token back anymore …"
When Wen Hou heard these words, his face sunk. He gave his jade token to his daughter because he doted on her and also because he knew that he wouldn't be able to find a better pill refiner than Tan Liang to participate in the competition. If Tan Liang wasn't able to get into the top 50, he wouldn't be able to get into the top 50 even if he found another pill refiner.
Now that there was hope for Water Ying Immortal City, how could he allow his daughter to casually give away her two precious jade tokens? Moreover, how could he offend these two people?
"Lianxi, you need to understand your father. Hurry and take back the jade token." Even Wen Lianxi's mother, Yan Qianling, who was seated below, couldn't help but advise.
Wen Lianxi lifted her head and said sincerely, "Father, mother, I really can't get my jade token back. I met a pill refiner and he said that he would be representing our Water Ying Immortal City in the competition so I gave him the jade token. When I left, I remembered that I didn't ask him for his communication bead. Even I don't know where he is now. "
When they heard Wen Lianxi's words, the few of them exchanged glances.
Geng Ji, who had been squinting his eyes, finally opened them. He snorted coldly with an unhappy face, "Since Water Ying Immortal City has an expert participating, then we won't be needed anymore. We will take our leave."
As he spoke, he stood up. Seeing Geng Ji stand up, Di Baisheng also stood up.
"Two Pill Kings, please wait. I will definitely find that jade token and return it to the two Pill Kings," Wen Hou stood up anxiously and said anxiously.
"Since that's the case, come and find us after Castellan Wen gets back the jade token." After saying that, Geng Ji and Di Baisheng didn't bother about Wen Hou anymore as they left their seats and walked out.
"Lianxi, you've caused a huge disaster," After the two Pill Kings left, Yan Qianling sighed. She couldn't understand why her sensible and obedient daughter would do such an outrageous thing.
"Father, mother, since the Yong Ying Grand Alchemy Competition has changed its rules, then even if Pill King Geng and Pill King Di were to participate, I'm afraid …" Wen Lianxi was a gentle person so she didn't say that even if the two of them participated, they wouldn't be able to obtain a placing.
Wen Hou's face sank as he ignored his daughter.
Yan Qianling sighed again, "Lianxi, do you know how serious it is for us to reject the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance's Pill Kings? Ai … "
Wen Lianxi's heart sank as she actually forgot that the two people who just left were Pill Dao Immortal Alliance's Pill Kings. Even the Yong Ying Immortal Domain's Heavenly Lord had to show some respect to the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance's Pill Kings. If he said that he didn't have the jade token, the other party would definitely think that he was fooling them.
Water Ying Immortal City was already in troubled times. Now, it had offended two more important figures.
