“Thank you for the king’s gift, it’s just that after I’ve gone through a reincarnation, I know that it’s not easy to be a county king of a party. Just like the king, he works endlessly for the entire country. I also have some shares from refining medicines in Dan Han, and these shares are enough for me to live out my life after deducting the cost of propagating the Nine Lives to heal my wounds. Although I’m not a pill refiner, I can’t refine other medicines either. After this incident but I have a love for pill refining, I only hope that I can find a quiet place where I can learn pill refining single-mindedly, so that I can do more for the people in the future.” Mo Wuji said with trepidation.
Situ Qian looked at Mo Wuji with slight surprise, with Mo Wuji being so insistent on inheriting the position of the North Qin County King before, he didn’t believe that Mo Wuji could see that once he agreed to this matter, it would mean that his little life was at an end.
Some of the people who had some knowledge of the Mo Family were also a little puzzled, could it be that this county king’s descendant doesn’t dream of being a county king anymore? He doesn’t even want the county king in his hands?
“Are you really interested in pill refining? If that’s the case, I can recommend you to go to the Cheng Yu Pill Refining Academy.” A white-haired old man stood out and said.
The Mo Wuji at this moment was not that Mo Xinghe, he immediately understood this old man’s thoughts. This fellow was trying to kiss the Cheng Yu Lord King’s arse, meaning that he was helping the Cheng Yu Lord King to share his worries and settle this nagging little character of his.
Mo Wuji also wanted to go to that so-and-so academy, and he was even more aware that there were people in the shadows who were trying to scheme against him. Even if he gave up his position as the County King, he still had to be careful.
“It’s not all about being interested in pill refining, I’m even more interested in which cultivators, but it’s a pity that I’m just a Mortal Root and can’t cultivate.” Mo Wuji said with a sigh, having over bragged just now.
This sigh also had a few moments of true meaning in it, not being able to cultivate was an unacceptable pain for him.
Seemingly knowing Situ Qian’s thoughts, Han Sheng’an once again spoke out, “Mo brat, half a year from now, Star Han Empire will be hosting the Leaping Immortal Sect Conference. I, Cheng Yu Kingdom, have more than ten people attending, and my Han family also has one person going over, if you are willing, there is a chance for you to go along as a servant of my Han family to see the Leaping Immortal Gate Assembly. It’s just that I’m afraid that this would be condescending to you, after all, your ancestor was once a county king as well.”
“May I ask your lordship?” Mo Wuji’s heart rejoiced, what identity is not? It was dangerous to stay with him. Being able to go to the Star Han Empire, not only would he be able to meet real cultivators, he might even be able to find new opportunities. The most important point was that he could leave Cheng Yu Kingdom.
The white haired old man hummed at Mo Wuji, ”This is my Cheng Yu Kingdom’s Peaceful County Duke, Lord Han, why don’t you hurry up and thank County Duke Han for promoting you. Don’t still think that you are the Northern Qin Little County King, that has long since had nothing to do with you.”
Mo Wuji didn’t directly agree with him, leaving his horse’s arse without a bid for credit, naturally, he had some opinions towards Mo Wuji.
“So it’s Old County Duke Cold, Mo Wuji has long admired County Duke’s great name, thank you County Duke for your love, Mo Wuji is willing to go to the Cold House to be a house servant.” Mo Wuji said respectfully to Han Sheng An.
After saying that, he seemed to have remembered something and turned his head towards the white haired old man and asked, “Which one are you?”
When the white haired old man saw that Mo Wuji was really willing to go to the Han Mansion to work as a house servant, his heart was even more irritated as he coldly said to Mo Wuji, “I am Yao Kang from the Ministry of Rites.”
“Never heard of it.” Mo Wuji finished and then said to Situ Qian, “Thanks to the Great King’s graciousness, I have decided to join the Cold Mansion to serve.”
He completely ignored Yao Kang, as if Yao Kang was a passerby.
“As you wish.” Situ Qian said somewhat perfunctorily, the eunuch standing beside him already knew that Situ Qian was impatient and immediately said, “Retreat from the court.”
Cold Sheng An said to Mo Wuji, “Are you returning to the Cold Mansion with me now, or are you going to pack up your things before coming back?”
Mo Wuji hurriedly said, “Thank you County Duke, I’ll go back and pack up slightly, and come to County Duke’s Mansion today.”
Cold Sheng An nodded, “You go first, just sign up directly when you arrive at my residence.”
After saying that, Han Sheng An ignored Mo Wuji and followed the many ministers outside.
Mo Wuji naturally sped up his pace and followed him out, leaving behind only Yao Kang who was blue in the face. Yao Kang could not imagine that a small descendant of a fallen county king would dare to be so arrogant. He actually said in front of a full court of ministers that he had not heard of him, Yao Kang, and that he had a long time of admiration for Han Sheng An. You should know that when it comes to power in the court, he is much more powerful than Han Sheng’an. Han Sheng’an was only slightly higher than him in rank.
Looking at Mo Wuji’s hurriedly departing back, a cold light flashed in Yao Kang’s eyes.
……
If not for the fact that he still had some important things to do, Mo Wuji was even planning to directly follow Cold Sheng An to the Cold Mansion.
However, he still had eight bottles of that medicinal liquid for opening up the veins that he hadn’t taken with him, and regardless of whether those medicinal liquids were useful or not, he wouldn’t be discarding them now. Who knew if those medicinal liquids could be added with something else and eventually turn out to be able to really open up the veins?
More importantly, he still had more than 100,000 gold coins in the Dan Han refining. He wouldn’t leave these gold coins behind, it was the guarantee of his survival. On top of that, he hadn’t returned to his place of residence since taking over Danhan Pill Refining. After going to the Cold Mansion this time, he didn’t know when he would be able to come back again, and he might never have the chance to go back again. He would take this opportunity to go back to his residence to see if Smokey had left anything important behind.
After coming to this world, Smokey was the only person he was attached to.
……
When Mo Wuji returned to Dan Han’s Pill Refining Workshop once again, he saw Lu Jiu Jun who was sitting at the entrance of the workshop as if he had lost his life.
Seeing Mo Wuji coming over, Lu Jiu Jun rushed up as if his arse was on fire and grabbed Mo Wuji and asked, “Brother Mo, what do you mean by this? When we are about to make a lot of money, you are actually giving this prescription away for free casually?”
Mo Wuji said with a straight face, “Old Lu, I only realised such a truth after listening to the words of Master Mi of the Cheng Ling Polar Pill Workshop. This kind of epoch-making product must benefit countless ordinary people in order to truly live countless lives. Otherwise, it’s just a life-preserving medicine for the rich. The scale of our Dan Han Pill Refining is simply unable to satisfy so many ordinary people, so we can only send this formula out to allow more people to participate. That way the price of the Nine Lives Refining Pill Liquid can come down.”
As for the real reason for giving away the Nine Lives Refining Pill Liquid was to save his own little life, this kind of words Mo Wuji would not say to Lu Jiu Jun. Lu Jiu Jun could figure it out on his own, but he definitely couldn’t say it.
“Alright, Brother Mo, can you help our Dan Han Pill Refining to research out another new product?” Lu Jiu Jun was at least someone who had seen the world, and when this situation could not be salvaged, he immediately retreated to the next best thing.
Mo Wuji patted Lu Jiu Jun’s shoulder, “Old Lu, listen to me, continue to produce the Nine Lives Healing Liquid, just cheapen the price down. Remember, sometimes the brand is more profitable than the product. When the Nine Lives Healing Liquid spreads throughout the entire Cheng Yu Kingdom, some rich people will choose the workshop that first produced the Nine Lives Healing Liquid. This is the brand effect, and it’s up to you to make this brand famous. The fact that I’m contributing this formula might not be a bad thing for Dan Han’s pill refining.”
Lu Jiu Jun trusted Mo Wuji the most, and with Mo Wuji’s words, he instantly understood what it meant and cheered up and said, “Brother Mo, what should we do next?”
Mo Wuji smiled, “It’s not what we should do next, but it’s what you should do. I have already agreed to Old Sheriff Lord Cold’s invitation to go to the Cold Mansion as a guest secretary, this time I came back to take something, as well as take away the portion of profit that belongs to me.”
Mo Wuji’s visit to the Cold Mansion was just to be a houseboy, and he had chosen to say it in such a lofty manner that he was going to be a guest secretary.
“Ah ……” Lu Jiu Jun froze at once, and only after a long time did he sigh, “Alas, the pool that is Dan Han Pill Refining is indeed too small for brother Mo, congratulations to brother Mo on his brilliant future. Don’t worry brother Mo, as long as Dan Han Refining can continue to make money, your profit is here.”
Mo Wuji’s people were no longer in Dan Han Refining, it was not easy for Lu Jiu Jun to be able to say these words.
