After seeing Mu Ying’s appeal, Mo Wuji did not write out the Treasure Blood Lotus Root again. The only thing he could take was the Treasure Blood Lotus Root, and now that Mu Ying needed the Treasure Blood Lotus Root, he simply asked Mu Ying to exchange it later.
“Master Dan Mo ……,” right at this moment, a surprised voice rang in Mo Wuji’s ears.
Mo Wuji turned around to see Yin Shanyin walking over, beside Yin Shanyin, there was another guy he didn’t want to see, the Qu Dan Master.
“Senior Brother Mo, I’ve been worried about you, I’m finally relieved that you made it here.” Yin Shanyin said excitedly.
Mo Wuji smiled, “Thank you Senior Sister Yin, I was quite lucky and escaped.”
Yin Shanyin apologised, “I’m sorry, Senior Brother Mo, this time it was me that put you in danger.”
Mo Wuji knew that Yin Shanyin wasn’t to blame for this, Yin Shanyin also didn’t know that he would kill Meng Boyu, and that’s why he was caught off guard by the Second Elder.
“Senior Sister Yin, this matter cannot be blamed on you, besides it has already passed.” Mo Wuji said as he waved his hand.
“Hmph, someone with a bad character like you will eventually fall into the hands of Elder Xu one day.” Senior Qu Dan was extremely upset when this person saw Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji immediately frowned and then asked, “Senior Sister Yin? Who is this guy?”
Yin Shanyin smiled faintly, seemingly unaware that Mo Wuji had already recognised Dan Master Qu, and still said, “This is Dan Master Qu Fei Yang of the Traceless Sword Sect, a peak third grade human Dan Master.”
Mo Wuji laughed coldly, “I thought it was a Heavenly Dan Master, talking as if he was the Dan King of the five empires. That being said, which onion are you?”
In the Traceless Sword Sect, Mo Wuji had long suffocated enough, this was not the Traceless Sword Sect.
Qu Fei Yang’s face was furious as hell, yet he knew what this place was, he instead said in an even calmer tone, “It’s true that I’m not a Heavenly Dan Master, and I’m not considered that onion. However, I, Qu Fei Yang, will definitely not go and kill fellow masters and brothers ……”
Originally, Mo Wuji and Qu Fei Yang’s quarrel had attracted the attention of many people, and now that Qu Fei Yang had deliberately said the words about killing fellow masters and brothers, it instantly caused everyone around them to watch from the sidelines. Even Mu Ying, who had just received the Earth Pine Vein, had a face of disgust. Someone who even killed a fellow disciple was obviously extremely bad.
Yin Shanyin had the intention of defending Mo Wuji, but she didn’t know how she should do so. She also guessed that Mo Wuji had really killed Meng Boyu, and as for the reason for killing Meng Boyu, with her understanding of Mo Wuji, it was definitely not for no reason.
Mo Wuji coldly swept a glance at Qu Fei Yang and said, “If you dare to engage in a debate with me, you kid is still a bit short. In his previous life, he didn’t know how many forums he had participated in, how many elite experts in the medicine industry he had debated with, how could he be afraid of a Qu Fei Yang who only knew how to refine pills? I am not afraid of you in alchemy, but I am even more afraid of you in debate.
At the same time, he also knew that he had to change Mu Ying’s opinion of him in the shortest possible time, it’s nothing that other people loathe him, he must not let Mu Ying loathe him.
“Fellow Dandao friends, before I defend myself, let me tell you a story. There was a highly respected gentleman who took in several disciples. One of these disciples was called Yan, and because this disciple was not good at speaking or socialising, he was very unpopular with the rest of the disciples.”
Because Mo Wuji opened by saying that he was going to tell a story for everyone to hear, the hall was silent. Mo Wuji’s voice was slightly low, and it was even more powerfully persuasive in this silent hall.
“This year coincided with a famine, this gentleman and the disciples could only live on rice porridge. In order to respect the gentleman, every time the thickest part of the rice porridge would be served to the gentleman. One day, Yan carried a bowl of rice porridge to the gentleman as usual. A bit of dust flew in the middle of the journey and landed on top of the rice porridge. Yan scooped up the dust with a spoon, but he thought it would be a pity to throw it away, so he ate the mouthful of porridge with the dust on it.
This process was being watched clearly by the gentleman, and it was also seen by another disciple of the gentleman. The only difference was that the disciple did not see the dust. The disciple then told the teacher that Yan had stolen the porridge from him. All the disciples despised Yan, but the teacher sighed and said, “Sometimes what you see isn’t real”.
My friends, since sometimes what you see is not true, let alone what you say?”
Mu Ying pondered briefly and apologetically cupped her fists at Mo Wuji, “I was so preconceived before and had a distaste for you in my heart that I lost my rational judgement.”
Mo Wuji hurriedly said, “It’s no wonder Senior Sister Mu, most mortals would think the same way after hearing about the murder of a fellow disciple.”
Qu Fei Yang’s face was even more gloomy, he didn’t expect Mo Wuji to move his advantage back with just a story before he even started arguing.
“Since that’s the case, I’m sure that Master Dan Mo is not the one who killed his fellow disciples.” Mu Ying then said.
Mo Wuji first clasped his fists all around before he said, “Fellow dan dao friends, I was previously a guest dan master of the Traceless Sword Sect. Before I left the Traceless Sword Sect, I did kill one of the Traceless Sword Sect’s second grade human dan masters, his name is Meng Thin Yu.”
The scene fell silent, all the dan masters heard Mo Wuji’s words and thought that Mo Wuji was trying to defend himself, that he was not the one who killed his fellow disciples. Unexpectedly, in the end, he still admitted to killing his fellow disciple… It looked like that Dan Master Qu had not wronged him.
Because that previous story of Mo Wuji was in front of him, there was no one who stood out to chastise Mo Wuji. The Dan Masters present all knew that Mo Wuji must have more to come.
Mo Wuji said once again, “Because I became a second grade human dan master by chance, I was hired by the Traceless Sword Sect as a guest dan master, residing at the Lotus Root Sword Peak and the Blood Lotus Root Lake. These two places are where the sect’s aura is the most scarce, so there is no one to compete with me.”
All the Dan Masters nodded their heads, in their opinion, a Second Grade Human Dan Master who was still a guest secretary naturally wouldn’t be allocated much of a good place.
“A few months ago, one of my stewards dug out a section of precious bloodroot in the Bloodroot Lake ……”
Mo Wuji’s words were uttered and immediately caught everyone’s attention. Mu Ying’s eyes even lit up as she fixed her gaze on Mo Wuji. The precious blood lotus root had become increasingly rare over the years, and even if there was a little bit of it, it was a remnant of a rare vintage. She was now in desperate need of the Treasure Blood Lotus Root, so naturally, she was extremely concerned about Mo Wuji’s words.
It was Yin Shanyin who also stared at Mo Wuji in amazement, she could not have imagined that the cause of the matter was the Treasure Blood Lotus Root.
“It was at this time that Meng Thin Yu went to the Blood Lotus Root Lake, he naturally saw the Treasure Blood Lotus Root, and immediately eyed the treasure and wanted to snatch it away. My steward naturally didn’t want the blood lotus root to be snatched away by him, and as a result, he was seriously injured by Meng Thin Yu. Just as Meng Thin Yu was about to kill him, I arrived just in time. Robbing me in my place, trying to kill people around me, and even trying to kill me. Fellow Dandao friends, if it were you, what would you do?”
“In my place, I would have smashed his head to pieces with one punch.” As soon as Mo Wuji’s words fell, Zhen Shaoru’s rude voice arrived just in time. This guy had eaten his fill of spirit fruits and was looking around for Mo Wuji to come.
“Master Mo Dan, I wonder if that precious blood lotus root is available?”
At this time, no one would even care about Meng Thin Yu or Zhen Shao Ru’s rudeness, most people were concerned about the whereabouts of the precious blood lotus root.
With so many people inquiring, Mu Ying also hurriedly asked, “Dan Master Mo, is that Treasure Blood Lotus Root still there?”
Mo Wuji sighed in his heart, really everything else is secondary.
“Mo Wuji, Master Meng Dan is dead anyway, so wouldn’t you, a miscellaneous disciple, be able to say whatever you want?” When Qu Fei Yang saw that Mo Wuji was in complete control of the scene, and had even obtained the Precious Blood Lotus Root, he was furious in his heart.
If he had known that the precious blood lotus root was found in the Bloodroot Lake, he would have never let Mo Wuji go even if Yin Shanyin had stopped him. To know the precious blood root in the Bloodroot Lake, that was at least a hundred years old. Unfortunately, everything was too late now, and was escaped by this Mo.
“Dan Master Qu, even if you are even more biased towards Dan Master Mo, you can’t call Dan Master Mo a miscellaneous disciple.” A Dan Master in the crowd immediately called out somewhat unpleasantly.
Qu Fei Yang said coldly, “He was originally just a handyman recruited by the Traceless Sword Sect from the secular world, he just got **** lucky and this is how he became a Dan Master.”
Mu Ying suddenly asked, “Dan Master Mo, your name is Mo Wuji, I wonder if you have any relationship with Pill Master Mo who developed the Mo’s Pill Liquid?”
Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, “Thank you Senior Sister Mu for your fallacious praise earlier, I’m not talented, I’m exactly the same alchemist who made the penicillin public. I originally came from a county king’s family, and because the county king’s position was coveted, it led to the destruction of my family. As for my dan dao, it was also passed down from my family.”
By this point, Mo Wuji didn’t have much regard, even if Situ Qian was standing in front of him, he still dared to say this.
Immediately, Zhen Shaoru roared out, “A small county king’s position also has someone forcibly taking it, which one of these birdmen is it you tell me, I’ll go and knock his balls off. Where’s that lord country’s king, is this guy an idiot?”
A lord of a lord country was really nothing in his eyes, Zhen Shaoru.
No one cared about Zhen Shaoru’s words because of Mu Ying’s extreme praise earlier. After hearing that Mo Wuji was the alchemist who contributed the Mo’s medicinal liquid, the many people’s opinion of Mo Wuji had long since fundamentally changed. As for Qu Fei Yang’s words just now, where was anyone to care?
“So come you are Pill Master Mo, Mu Ying thanks Pill Master Mo on behalf of the countless mortals that benefited from that.” After saying that Mu Ying even slightly owed her body.
Mo Wuji hurriedly said that he wouldn’t dare, and then took out a section of precious blood lotus root and said, “Senior Sister Mu, since I don’t have many spirit stones on me, I want to exchange the precious blood lotus root for a few spirit herbs. It’s just that again, I don’t know how valuable the precious blood lotus root is, and if it can be exchanged for ……”
Mu Ying grabbed the jade box that Mo Wuji had lowered over to him and then opened it. A section of crystal clear as if it was a ruby red precious blood lotus root was lying in the jade box, emitting a faintly fragrant scent.
The surrounding dan masters were all letting out slurping sounds of astonishment, Mu Ying said after viewing the precious blood lotus root, ”This is a precious blood lotus root of nearly a hundred years old, it’s of high value, I haven’t seen a precious blood lotus root of this vintage in many years. The only pity is that the lotus root silk is gone, which makes the value of the precious blood lotus root greatly reduced.”
Mo Wuji suddenly felt a great regret in his heart when he heard this. It wasn’t that he regretted when the silk of the precious blood lotus root was taken away from him, but because he got one thing wrong. He thought that the precious blood lotus root cultivated by Fei Bingzhu had the same value as the precious blood lotus root in his hands. Now that he had heard Mu Ying’s words, he realised that there was also a difference in the vintage of the precious bloodroot.
However, in his hand, he only had a few of these precious blood lotus root threads left that he had used.
