Soon, Ling Mo Xie left the city and arrived at the forest where Nan Jianjun lived. He walked in with ease and saw that Nan Jianjun was diligently practicing his swordsmanship in the courtyard, while Mu Qiuniang sat at the entrance with Xiao Bai lying at her feet.
However, unlike before, Nan Jianjun was not practicing his usual sword techniques but was instead working on the profound-level sword techniques he had obtained from the Death Warrior ruins! "Clap, clap!" Ling Mo Xie clapped his hands as he approached. Nan Jianjun, immersed in his training, suddenly came to his senses, turned around to see Ling Mo Xie, sheathed his sword, and happily said, "Brother Mo Xie! You’re here!"
"Yes! Here, this is a pill for your mother; it should be beneficial for her dantian!" Ling Mo Xie said with a smile as he took out a bottle of Spring Breeze Transformation Pill from his backpack and handed it to Nan Jianjun.
Nan Jianjun excitedly accepted the pill bottle and exclaimed, "Thank you! Brother Mo Xie!" He then quickly ran over to Mu Qiuniang, carefully pouring a crystal-clear pill into his palm. He said, "Mother! This is the pill Brother Mo Xie brought! Please try it!" He raised his hand in front of Mu Qiuniang.
Mu Qiuniang smiled gently and replied, "Alright!" Her pale and slender fingers delicately pinched the pill and without hesitation placed it in her mouth. The pill melted instantly, transforming into a warm current that surged into Mu Qiuniang's dantian, gently repairing it. The cracks in her dantian slowly closed up, and finally, her vital energy no longer leaked out.
However, she could not fully recover; Mu Qiuniang's cultivation could not return, and she could no longer practice. Her physical condition was now similar to that of an ordinary person.
Despite this, both Nan Jianjun and Mu Qiuniang looked gratefully at Ling Mo Xie. They were already very surprised; after all, it had been a problem for Mu Qiuniang to hold onto her life before. Now, barring any unforeseen circumstances, living for several more decades should not be an issue!
"Why don't you come back with me to live at the Ling family?" Ling Mo Xie suggested suddenly as he surveyed the dilapidated bamboo house. "This..." Nan Jianjun and Mu Qiuniang exchanged glances, unsure of what to decide.
"What’s with all this hesitation? You say I’m your benefactor! Can’t you agree to such a small request?" Ling Mo Xie pretended to be angry.
Nan Jianjun and Mu Qiuniang knew very well that Ling Mo Xie was intentionally saying this to get them to move to the Ling residence. After a moment of silence, they agreed.
Ling Jianjun brought Mu Qiuniang and Nan Jianjun back to the Ling residence and settled them into his small courtyard. After speaking briefly with Nan Jianjun, he left the Ling residence again. To obtain the title of Alchemy Apprentice, he needed to refine many pills; without spirit stones, he couldn’t buy spirit herbs. He needed to exchange these bottles of Spring Breeze Transformation Pills for spirit stones!
Exiting the gates of the Ling residence, Ling Mo Xie headed directly toward the Azure Emperor Pavilion in the city. That was where pills were bought and sold; it was said to be an alchemy sect with a high status in Tianfeng City.
The Azure Emperor Sect is one of the top sects in the Liyun Empire, with influence spread throughout the country. Major cities have their own Pill Pavilions, making it a chain pharmacy in the Cultivation World. Regardless of what others think, this is how Ling Mo Xie understands it.
When he thought about selling pills, the first place that came to mind was the Azure Emperor Pavilion, after all, it is a "well-known enterprise"!
Upon arriving at the entrance of the Azure Emperor Pavilion, he realized that it truly lived up to its reputation as a major force! Just look at that impressive aura! The sign of the Azure Emperor Pavilion hung high, shimmering in the sunlight. Inside, people were bustling about, and at the entrance stood two beautiful women in long skirts, always wearing warm smiles.
Ling Mo Xie looked up at the sign and nodded in satisfaction before stepping inside. The Azure Emperor Pavilion, being established by the Azure Emperor Sect, was far more luxurious than the Spirit Medicine Pavilion where he had previously purchased spirit medicine. The pills were placed within special formations, floating in mid-air!
Having experienced disdain at the Spirit Medicine Pavilion last time, Ling Mo Xie no longer looked around nervously; instead, he walked directly to a table in the corner. Behind the table sat an old man who was dozing off. His beard and hair were vibrantly green, but his wrinkled face revealed his age.
He wore a loose-fitting uniform of the Azure Emperor Pavilion and was nodding off repeatedly, which made Ling Mo Xie smile; he resembled a student who was quietly dozing off in class.
"Bang bang!" Ling Mo Xie sat down on the chair at that table and tapped his fingers on the surface. The old man jolted awake and straightened up. When he looked up, he saw a handsome young man dressed in a snow-white robe, one hand propped on the table while rhythmically tapping with the other hand, smiling brightly at him.
The old man sniffed dismissively: "What do you want? You woke me up from my nap; do you know that?"
Before Ling Mo Xie could respond, a gentle voice came from nearby: "Oh! Elder Feng, you’re napping again!" Both Ling Mo Xie and the old man turned to see a woman in a green palace dress walking over gracefully. Her figure swayed like willows in spring breeze; she had an oval face with willow-like eyebrows and skin as smooth as fine jade. Her eyes sparkled like stars as she mischievously smiled at the old man.
Ling Mo Xie's eyes lit up; those big stars from his past life couldn't compare to her beauty! However, the old man squinted his eyes and jolted upright, saying: "Oh dear! Please don’t tell your master!"
The woman chuckled and said: "Alright! Elder Feng! But first, let’s ask this young brother what he’s here for!"
Ling Mo Xie felt that the woman looked somewhat familiar. As he stared blankly at her, her words snapped him back to reality. He replied: "Oh! I’m here to sell pills. Do you accept them here?" Saying this, he hurriedly pulled out several bottles of Spring Breeze Transformation Pills from his backpack.
The woman couldn't help but chuckle at Ling Mo Xie's flustered appearance, her eyes curving like a crescent moon. The old man, noticing the way she looked at Ling Mo Xie, shot him a fierce glare and said, "What kind of pill is this? Let me see! Our Azure Emperor Pavilion doesn't accept anything below a seven-tier pill!" With that, he snatched a vial from the table.
Casually opening the cap, he poured a pill into his palm. Elder Feng's previously indifferent expression suddenly turned serious. He quickly placed the vial on the table, pinched the pill between two fingers, brought it to his nose to sniff, and scraped off a bit of powder to taste on his tongue. His eyes lit up as he exclaimed, "A ten-tier pill? This is top quality!"
Then, he muttered to himself in confusion, "How strange. Only alchemists of at least level five can refine a ten-tier pill. Why would someone be practicing with such low-level pills?"
Ling Mo Xie didn't understand anything about tiered pills; all his pills were crafted by the System itself. He just had to press a button, so he had no knowledge of alchemy whatsoever. Hearing Elder Feng's words, he shrugged and asked, "So are you accepting it or not?"
