Pill King Peak, this was the only peak in the Traceless Sword Sect that wasn’t named after the word sword, and it was also where Yin Shanyin lived. I heard that Pill King Peak used to be filled with spiritual medicines before it became like other peaks, with only a few planted spiritual medicines.
Mo Wuji was stopped just as he reached the foot of Pill King Peak, the one who stopped Mo Wuji was a female pill boy who was less than twenty.
“Hello this senior sister, I’m Mo Wuji from the Lotus Root Sword Peak, I’m specially here to meet Senior Sister Yin, please also inform me.” Mo Wuji knew that perhaps in the entire Traceless Sword Sect, other than his Lotus Root Sword Peak which was not defended, all the other peaks were defended. He didn’t set up defences, not because he didn’t want to, but he really didn’t have the ability to set up defences.
“So it’s Senior Brother Mo from the Lotus-root Sword Peak, Master Yin Dan explained to me before he left, saying that Senior Brother Mo can come in directly when he comes. If you want to take away Sister Smokey, feel free to do so as well.” This pill boy hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Some disappointment rose in Mo Wuji’s heart as he hurriedly asked, “Senior Sister Yin is not here right now?”
Apart from coming here to retrieve Smokey, he also wanted to ask Senior Sister Yin about the Lotus Root Sword Peak, with the aim of course being the Treasure Blood Lotus Root.
“Senior Sister Yin has been invited to attend the Dan Master Exchange Meeting, Senior Brother Mo please follow me into the guest room to rest.” This female pill boy said politely.
With Yin Shanyin not at Pill King Peak, Mo Wuji simply did not have the heart to stay at Pill King Peak to waste time. He immediately said, “Thank you, this senior sister, I’ll come back to visit when Senior Sister Yin returns. I want to pick Smokey up.”
“Of course, senior brother Mo please wait.” The medicine boy had obviously received Yin Shanyin’s instructions, and after he finished speaking, he hurriedly went in.
Mo Wuji only waited for a few minutes before this pill boy came over with the trio of Smokey Er and Xiong Xiuzhu. At the same time, the medicine boy was also carrying a large parcel on his back.
“This is what Senior Sister Yin left for Senior Brother Mo before she left.” The pill boy handed the parcel to Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji didn’t need to open it to smell the medicinal fragrance inside, he surmised that this should be the Third Grade Spirit Herb that Yin Shanyin had promised to give him.
Now that he couldn’t continue to develop his veins, these spirit herbs were timely for Mo Wuji. He couldn’t cultivate, so he could just use these spirit herbs to enhance his alchemy level, which made Mo Wuji even more grateful to Yin Shanyin.
The truth was that he wouldn’t be able to keep his Dueling Star Shift even if he didn’t give it to Yin Shanyin. In other words, instead, it was Yin Shanyin who helped him block the accountability of the Traceless Sword Sect, and was even more favourable to him. Even so, she still kept her promise and gave him a batch of Third Grade Spirit Grass.
……
After returning to the Lotus Root Sword Peak, Mo Wuji didn’t even have time to open the parcel of spirit grass that Yin Shanyin had given him to take a look before he eagerly headed to the sect’s Scripture Pavilion.
Mo Wuji wasn’t here to check out the techniques and cultivation means, his Immortal Mortal Technique was enough for him to cultivate, as for the magic techniques, he wasn’t qualified to check them out, nor did he need to. He had an unopened Invisible Sword Inheritance in addition to the Battle Transformation.
He was mainly here to check about the Lotus Root Sword Peak, to refine an upgraded version of the Vein Expansion Medicinal Liquid, and he had gotten all the other upgraded spirit medicines, but only the Precious Blood Lotus Root was not available. In the Traceless Sword Sect, Guan Li was the one who cultivated the Treasure Blood Lotus Root, Mo Wuji naturally hoped to find out about the Treasure Blood Lotus Root or about Guan Li from the sect’s canon.
To Mo Wuji’s disappointment, throughout the entire day, he checked countless sect’s canonical books and only found out that Elder Guan Li resided at the Lotus Root Sword Peak of the Traceless Sword Sect, nothing else.
Mo Wuji remained undeterred as he decided to enquire about Fei Bingzhu. Fei Bingzhu had been in the Traceless Sword Sect for much longer than him, so he should have some knowledge of the Lotus Root Sword Peak.
Once again, when he arrived at the Traceless Sword Sect’s Sect Affairs Hall, some of the miscellaneous disciples who recognised Mo Wuji hurriedly stopped to bow and salute upon seeing Mo Wuji. It was some of the outside disciples who also hurriedly stopped to bow.
A Guest Dan Master still had a certain status in the sect.
Arriving at the Spirit Pill Room dispensing place, Mo Wuji realised that Fei Bingzhu, who had been here all along, had disappeared and was replaced by a disciple he had never seen before.
“Dan Master Mo ……,” This disciple dispensing pills obviously knew Mo Wuji, seeing Mo Wuji coming over, he hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Mo Wuji asked with slight confusion, “May I ask how come the previous Fei Bingzhu is no longer here, did he go somewhere else?”
When this disciple heard Mo Wuji inquiring about Fei Bingzhu, his tone immediately stammered, and he didn’t say anything in half a day.
Mo Wuji’s face sank and his tone turned cold as he said, “Where did Fei Bingzhu go? I have limited patience.”
Seeing Mo Wuji’s anger, this disciple instantly panicked and hurriedly replied, “Master Mo Dan rest his anger, Senior Brother Fei left when I came, I heard that Senior Brother Fei was taken by Master Qu Dan to kill him because of a mistake in dispensing the medicine ……”
“It’s this Qu surname again ……” Mo Wuji was furious in his heart, if he said that before he and Qu Dan Shi were just some minor conflicts, now that Fei Bingzhu was killed, this was no longer a minor conflict.
It was just that regardless of his current cultivation strength or alchemy strength, he was unable to go to Qu Dan Shi to avenge Fei Bingzhu’s death.
Mo Wuji didn’t continue with the nonsense, getting angry with a dispensing disciple was completely unnecessary.
“Master Mo Dan, wait for a moment ……” Just as Mo Wuji stepped out of the affairs hall, a modest voice called out to him.
What Mo Wuji turned around to see was a youth about the same age as Fei Bingzhu, looking at the clothes he was wearing, he should just be an outer disciple.
“You are?” Mo Wuji looked at the disciple who called out to him in confusion.
This outer disciple hurriedly said, “I am outer disciple Wu Rongzhi, when Senior Brother Fei was taken away, he entrusted me to look for you, and at that time, you were not at the Lotus Root Sword Peak. Senior Disciple Fei was actually not taken away for dispensing the wrong medicine, but because he spoke for you, that’s why he was taken away.”
“What exactly is going on?” Mo Wuji’s face turned cold, if Fei Bingzhu was killed by Surname Qu due to his involvement, even if he couldn’t avenge Fei Bingzhu now, he would still go after Surname Qu in the future to retrieve his revenge.
Wu Rongzhi hurriedly said, ”That day someone said in the affairs hall that Qu Danshi was about to advance to Earth Danshi, and would be the most talented Danshi of the Traceless Sword Sect after Yin Danshi. This was nothing in the first place, and then that person took the initiative to talk about you, Dan Master Mo. Saying that Master Qu Dan is relying on his abilities, and that you have flattered Master Yin Dan, otherwise, not to mention moving into the Lotus Root Sword Peak, you wouldn’t even be worthy of lifting Master Qu Dan’s shoes.”
Senior Fei interjected from the side, saying, “It’s true that Dan Master Qu is the sect’s talented dan master. However, the reason why Master Mo Dan was able to succeed wasn’t to flatter Master Yin Dan either, but rather, Master Mo Dan’s alchemy qualifications were terrific. It was also said that Mo Dan Shi was just an odd-job disciple with no resources and no one to teach him. To be able to become a Second Grade Human Dan Master was countless times tougher than the average person.
But that day, Master Qu Dan’s pill boy was also in the affairs hall, and Master Fei’s words made Master Qu Dan’s pill boy furious. This pill boy was very sinister and didn’t say anything at that time, just went to find Master Fei to dispense the medicine. At night time, the medicine boy brought people from the Law Enforcement Hall over and said that Master Fei’s medicine had been dispensed incorrectly, causing Master Qu Dan’s furnace of pills to fail. The people from the Law Enforcement Palace took Master Fei away on the spot ……”
Mo Wuji’s face turned a little ugly, Master Qu Dan was a Third Grade Human Pill Master, if the medicine was wrongly dispensed, would he not be able to see it? Was his pill boy so bold that he dared to deliberately get the wrong herbs to fool him?
“Master Mo Dan, I heard that Master Qu Dan went to attend some exchange meeting with Master Yin Dan because of a temporary matter. Senior Fei should still be imprisoned in the Law Enforcement Hall, I think ……” Wu Rongzhi said with some hesitation.
Mo Wuji understood Wu Rongzhi’s meaning as soon as he heard it, and immediately said without hesitation, “I will go to the Law Enforcement Hall right now.”
If Fei Bingzhu was killed, he could only retrieve the honour for Fei Bingzhu later. Now that Fei Bingzhu was alive, no matter what, he would have to come to the rescue.
