The two of them, Mo Wuji and Shen Ren, swept through a table full of rice under the shocked gazes of the restaurant’s mate before leaving under the mate’s adoring gaze.
This mate had seen men who could eat, but he had never seen a woman who could also eat so well. Even if he could eat, the key to this woman’s beauty was something he hadn’t seen before. Such a beautiful woman devouring the food was really a bit subversive to his senses.
“Senior Sister Shen, you’ve already eaten and drunk enough, why don’t you go back first, I’m going to go to some things.” Mo Wuji was eager to get rid of Shen Ren to go buy medicinal materials and pill refining equipment earlier.
Shen Ren was still a little reserved when she first came into contact with Mo Wuji, but at this point, the two of them had been discussing cultivation and eating together for a long time and were already familiar with each other. That bit of reserve was also thrown out of the sky by Shen Ren, ”It’s fine for me to go back, I’m also going to go shopping, what are you going to buy? Maybe I can give you some suggestions.”
Seeing that he couldn’t get rid of this tail, Mo Wuji had no choice but to say, “I’m planning to go buy some pill refining equipment, what are you going to do with me?”
“You’re going to purchase a dan furnace? You haven’t even started your cultivation, how are you going to purchase a dan furnace?” Shen Ren subconsciously asked in a shocked voice.
Mo Wuji explained, “I’m not purchasing a Dan Furnace, I just want to purchase some ordinary pill refining equipment to see if I can take the path of a pill refiner. You also know that I’m not qualified, so if I can become a pill refiner, if I can’t cultivate in the future, I can still make a living with my status as a pill refiner.”
Shen Ren nodded sympathetically, “You are also right, but there is no future for a pill refiner, if you want to learn, learn to be an alchemist.”
Mo Wuji hummed, “Alchemist, are you teaching me? If you are willing to teach me, I wouldn’t mind learning alchemy.”
Shen Ren said awkwardly, “Alchemist is too much of an investment, and you don’t have the means to cultivate, you’d better learn to be an alchemist.”
Her old man was an alchemist, could he not know how difficult it was to learn alchemy?
Seemingly feeling that her earlier proposal was a bit unrealistic, after finishing, Shen Ren added, “In the entire Changluo City, the best place for Dan furnaces is the Star River Dan Pavilion. Not only are the pills here first-rate, the alchemy furnaces are also the best. However, I suggest that you go to Luo Hai Merchant House, although Luo Hai Merchant House’s Dan Furnace is not as good as Star River Dan Pavilion, the pill refining equipment is the best in the entire Star River Empire.”
“Go, go to Luo Hai Merchant House.” Mo Wuji said without hesitation.
It wasn’t like he was refining pills, not to mention that he was familiar with Luo Hai Merchant House.
……
“My lord, what do you need to purchase this time? I guarantee that I will introduce the lowest price and best quality to you.” After Mo Wuji arrived at Luo Hai Merchant House, he directly found the fellow who sold him the Immortal Mortal Skill last time.
“Is there any immortal level pill refining equipment that is as overwhelmingly good as the Immortal Mortal Technique that I purchased last time.” Mo Wuji patted the mate’s shoulder and said.
The mate was instantly embarrassed, this Immortal Mortal Know-how was something that he had snubbed Mo Wuji with, Mo Wuji taking it out to talk now was obviously reminding him not to use the last time’s item to snub him again.
“Pfft ……” A crisp laugh came from the side, obviously because he couldn’t help but laugh out loud after hearing Mo Wuji say that the Immortal Mortal Technique was excellent. A qi practising foundation that could be seen all over the streets, you have to learn the sales tactics of merchants to call it the Immortal Mortal Technique even if it’s not, but you also use the term excellent to describe it, you can’t help but laugh even if you want to.
Mo Wuji turned around and saw two women, one of them he still recognised, it was Qu Wan’er who he met on the boat back then, he didn’t expect to meet again here.
“So it’s Senior Sister Qu, last time on the boat, thanks to Senior Sister Qu for the favour of rescuing me.” Mo Wuji was very grateful as he clasped his fists in greeting.
Qu Wan’er said with slight embarrassment, “I’m sorry, my friend didn’t mean it just now.”
Obviously the one who let out the laughter just now was Qu Wan Er’s friend, Qu Wan Er subconsciously glanced at Shen Ren beside Mo Wuji after she finished speaking.
Shen Ren looked like someone who had cultivated, and she somewhat didn’t quite understand why the cultivated Shen Ren was with someone like Mo Wuji who only had mortal roots.
Mo Wuji waved his hand, “It’s fine, to this senior sister, maybe that’s just a Qi cultivation base. To someone like me, who has never come into contact with cultivation, that would be the supreme Immortal Mortal Technique, the technique that can make me, a mortal, immortal. Just pretend that I haven’t seen the world.”
This time it was Qu Wan’er, who had always been a bit cold, who was somewhat unable to hold back her laughter.
“This lord, I really do have a set of the pill refining equipment you want to purchase here, called the Immortal Mortal. It’s not the same as the Immortal Mortal Technique in general, but it’s really called the Ten Thousand Ancient Everlasting. It was shipped from a very far away country, and only because very few people in Changluo go to use the machine to refine medicine, it has been sitting idle here with me. The grade of this set of pill refining equipment is definitely more than several times superior to the pill refining equipment we have here, and the extracted medicinal liquid is also extremely pure.” The mate saw Mo Wuji looking at him again and hurriedly said.
“How much?” Mo Wuji asked dryly, he had purchased low-grade machines and equipment in Cheng Yu Country, probably around one or two thousand gold coins. Here, even if it was much better, he could almost afford it even if it went up ten times.
“Three hundred and seventy thousand gold coins ……”
The mate’s words were like a pot of cold water poured onto Mo Wuji’s head, chilling Mo Wuji from head to toe. The gold coins he had on him added up to less than 30,000, 370,000 gold coins he didn’t even have enough for a fraction.
“That I have a Double Leaf Flame Grass here, do you accept it?” Mo Wuji asked with a just-in-case mindset.
He reckoned that the value of the Double Leaf Flame Grass was far less than the Bright Eyes Fruit, it was just that he really had no choice but to take his chances.
“Ah, you have the Double Leaf Flame Grass? Can you sell it to me? I’ll give you 400,000 gold coins.” Qu Wan’er, who was on the side, suddenly shouted in surprise.
“You want the Double Leaf Flame Grass?” Mo Wuji asked doubtfully.
Qu Wan’er nodded, “Yes, I do need the Double Leaf Flame Grass, this is 400,000 gold tickets.”
After saying this, Qu Wan Er did not wait for Mo Wuji to speak before she drew out four 100,000 golden tickets. The four golden tickets were all from Luo Hai Merchant House, exchanging gold coins here would be half a problem.
Mo Wuji hurriedly took out a wooden box from his pocket and handed it over to Qu Wan’er while saying, “Thank you senior sister.”
“I should be the one thanking you, I’m leaving, see you later.” Qu Wan’er grabbed the wooden box, pulled the woman beside her, and quickly walked out of the merchant building.
Mo Wuji handed the four golden tickets that hadn’t been warmed up yet to the mate, “Please go and help me move that best set of pill refining equipment here.”
The mate didn’t expect to fulfil a not-so-small order so easily either, he hurriedly took the golden tickets and said respectfully, “Your Excellency wait a moment, I’ll send that set of pill refining equipment soon.”
Only after the mate left did Shen Ren say, “I think there’s something odd, although the Double Leaf Flame Grass is rare, it’s not so valuable at all. That Senior Sister Qu you know looks as if she majors in Water Technique in general, why would she offer such a high price for one of your Double Leaf Flame Grass?”
Mo Wuji said indifferently, “No need for you to explain.”
As a matter of fact, the moment Qu Wan Er made the comment that she was in dire need of the Double Leaf Flame Grass, Mo Wuji knew that she was lying. Qu Wan Er wasn’t very good at telling lies, and that demeanour didn’t fit her mindset at all. It was just that Qu Wan Er had said this, it would be bad for him to refuse instead. Regardless of why the other party helped him, Mo Wuji still accepted it, this favour to remember was.
……
“Wan Er, you don’t have any thoughts about that kid, right? I know you also want the Double Leaf Flame Grass, but why did you send 400,000 gold coins to him?” Walking out of Luo Hai Merchant Building, the woman beside Qu Wan’er asked in a shocked voice.
Qu Wan’er said indifferently, “He’s just a mortal root.”
Upon hearing that Mo Wuji was only a mortal root, Qu Wan’er’s companion knew that Qu Wan’er definitely wasn’t looking at the other party, and she looked at Qu Wan’er with some doubts.
Qu Wan’er continued, “Although he is just a mortal, that kind of unyielding will is something I have only seen in my life. Under that kind of lightning strike, even a cultivator would have backed off long ago, but he fought to the death and didn’t retreat. Time and time again, he was knocked back by the thunder crocodile’s lightning arcs, and then time and time again, he rushed up, and finally killed two thunder crocodiles with the flesh and blood of a mortal.”
“So what? Just a reckless man.”
Qu Wan’er shook her head, “If he was truly a reckless man, then he wouldn’t have killed two thunder crocodiles. That means that he knows where his limits are, and he knows that the thunder crocodile will die before him when it comes to spelling out his wounds. Unfortunately, he’s just a mortal ……”
