Xu Suren nodded, "This name is barely acceptable. This long halberd is about progressing from the mundane to the immortal, and the more ordinary the name, the better. In any case, this long halberd is perfect for you."

"Then, senior, shall I change the halberd's name?" Mo Wuji quickly said, thinking that coming up with a simple name wouldn't be difficult.

Xu Suren waved his hand, "The name you spoke out first has already been acknowledged by this halberd, resonating with the Dao rhythm of heaven and earth, becoming the halberd's name. There's no need to change it again."

Mo Wuji didn't say much more. Although he hadn't reached that realm, he could vaguely sense some of its hidden rules.

"Senior has refined such a treasure for me. I happen to have a piece of..." Before seeing the Half-Moon Heavy Halberd, Mo Wuji hadn't planned to use the Chaos Fire Mother Crystal as a reward for Xu Suren. However, after seeing the Half-Moon Heavy Halberd, Mo Wuji changed his mind.

For such a magical treasure, he would be willing to exchange even two Fire Mother Crystals. Perhaps the halberd wasn't worth a Chaos Fire Mother Crystal at all, but to Mo Wuji, it was a treasure he loved. Nothing was more important than what he liked.

To Mo Wuji's frustration, Xu Suren once again stopped him from speaking, even handing Mo Wuji a jade slip and a communication token. "I don't fancy your things. Here's my communication token. When I need you in the future, you can help me out once. The jade slip contains some of my insights on refining artifacts; take it. Alright, I need to rest. You can leave on your own."

He didn't take anything, only asked him to help when needed in the future? Mo Wuji looked at Xu Suren with suspicion. Only when Xu Suren waved him away did he bow respectfully and leave Xu Suren's residence, filled with doubts.

Something seemed wrong. He hadn't even said what he had, yet Xu Suren said he didn't fancy his things? If he hadn't traded with Ni Fengnie, Xu Suren's words might have made sense. But he had traded with Ni Fengnie, even taking out the Emperor Dao Fruit. No one could say he didn't have good things on him.

How could someone like Xu Suren make such a mistake?

If it wasn't a mistake, then there was only one possibility: Xu Suren knew he had good things on him, even the Chaos Fire Mother Crystal, and Xu Suren didn't want him to take it out.

Xu Suren had just come out of seclusion and had gone to the Immortal Trade Fair with great fanfare to trade for Chaos Fire Mother Crystals. Why didn't he want him to take anything out? Not only that, but he also gave him a jade slip containing artifact refining insights? Xu Suren's artifact refining insights were almost equivalent to the Emperor Dao Fruit, or even more precious.

Mo Wuji was certain he had no connection with Xu Suren and had never met him before.

He looked down at the communication token in his hand, his spiritual will penetrating it. He paused slightly, then threw the token into his Immortal World and quickly left.

Mo Wuji was a Rank 5 Immortal Array Master, so he understood communication tokens very well. The communication token Xu Suren gave him was a bit strange because it contained a trace of Xu Suren's aura and spiritual will imprint.

This imprint was definitely not for tracking Mo Wuji; it had another meaning, which was to hope to see him once before he fell.

Mo Wuji was an incredibly clever person, and he immediately understood Xu Suren's intention. It seemed Xu Suren wasn't unaware that he had good things on him; he truly didn't want his things. He didn't even want Mo Wuji to mention them.

Walking to his door, Mo Wuji was stunned. A crowd of people had gathered at his door.

"Immortal Pill Emperor Mo is back!" As soon as Mo Wuji appeared, the crowd rushed over with joy.

Han Long also walked over and explained to Mo Wuji, "The Immortal Trade Fair is over. These people have come to exchange for your immortal pills, and some have come to ask you to refine pills for them."

Mo Wuji had been thinking about Xu Suren's matter and hadn't expected so many people to come to trade with him. Hearing Han Long's reminder, he quickly cupped his fists and said, "Fellow immortals, I was in seclusion refining pills for others for the past few days, and I'm currently lacking energy. I need to rest for three days. Please come back after three days, and I will start refining pills or trading immortal pills for everyone."

Refining the Half-Moon Heavy Halberd had depleted too much of his vital blood. What he needed now was not refining pills but rest.

Although many of the immortals who had come were not very satisfied, they could only agree after hearing Mo Wuji's words.

After seeing off the cultivators who had come to exchange for immortal pills, Mo Wuji returned to his residence, set up restrictions, and immediately took out the jade slip.

The restrictions on the jade slip were easily broken, and the first sentence Mo Wuji saw was, "If any artifact refiner wants to borrow your immortal puppet for a look, remember not to agree. It is easy for cultivators who practice the Immortal Mortal Art to learn pill refinement or artifact refinement, but this art is easy to learn but difficult to master. This is because most pills or magical treasures are refined from ordinary materials, which is similar to the Dao rhythm of the Immortal Mortal Art. You are the only one I've ever seen who has cultivated the Immortal Mortal Art to the Grand Yi Immortal realm. This is my general outline of the Artifact Dao and some artifact refining insights, and I hope they will be of some help to you in the future."

After that, there were some insights on the Artifact Dao. There were no other words and no other meanings.

In any case, Xu Suren was well-intentioned, so Mo Wuji could only put away the jade slip, take out some immortal pills, and start restoring his vitality.

Three days later, after Mo Wuji replenished his lost vitality, he also began to exchange immortal pills with some cultivators and helped refine some Rank 7 immortal pills.

During this trade, Mo Wuji mainly collected Rank 8 immortal spiritual herbs or relatively important Rank 7 immortal spiritual herbs, as he was preparing to advance to a Rank 8 Pill Emperor. As for the pills he took out, Mo Wuji exchanged away one batch of Lixian Royal Pills, a total of six. It wasn't that he didn't have more, but he didn't want to exchange too many of these pills.

The Lixian Royal Pill was a strategic immortal pill. He himself was going to establish a sect, so this kind of pill was naturally as much as possible. Moreover, he had promised some people in the Shattered World to refine this kind of immortal pill for them, which meant that some of the Lixian Royal Dao Fruits on him belonged to others, and he naturally couldn't waste them casually.

For more than ten days, there were still some people coming until Mo Wuji said he was stopping the trade.

Mo Wuji didn't want to continue trading. In more than ten days, besides publicizing his reputation and exchanging a batch of Rank 7 immortal pills, he hadn't obtained much Rank 8 immortal spiritual herbs.

"Everyone, I recently had some insights and plan to go into seclusion for a while. The Rank 7 immortal pills I have are basically all traded away, so this trade will end here." Seeing that there were still seven or eight people who didn't want to leave, Mo Wuji could only clearly state that he was going into seclusion for a while.

Mo Wuji was a Rank 7 Pill Emperor who wasn't even afraid of Ni Fengnie of the Heaven Enlarging Immortal Sect. Now that he didn't want to trade, no one dared to force Mo Wuji to do business. Although they were unwilling, these few cultivators could only bid farewell and leave.

"Why haven't you left yet? I said that there are no immortal pill trades for the time being, and I'm not refining pills for others." Seeing that everyone had left, Mo Wuji asked a small, short teenager who was still standing at his door with confusion.

The teenager cupped his fists at Mo Wuji. "Immortal Pill Emperor Mo, I'm only asking you to refine a few batches of Zhihuang Pills..."

Zhihuang Pills? Mo Wuji's heart skipped a beat. Zhihuang Pills required Heavenly Barren Grass, which he and Zhuo Ping'an both needed.

Even though his heart skipped a beat, his expression didn't change in the slightest. He could sense that the teenager had paused slightly when he mentioned the Zhihuang Pills, as if he was doing it on purpose.

Seeing that Mo Wuji's expression was calm and unwavering, the teenager had no choice but to continue, "If Immortal Pill Master Mo is willing to refine a few batches of Zhihuang Pills for me, I am willing to tell senior the location of the Heavenly Barren Grass."

Mo Wuji still said calmly, "I'm sorry, I said that I'm not refining pills for the time being. Please leave."

The place where the Heavenly Barren Grass grew was somewhat similar to the Rootless Heavy Metal, in the void and in places without vitality and without the five elements, so the Heavenly Barren Grass was very difficult to find.

The reason Mo Wuji didn't immediately agree was that he was sure the teenager wouldn't give up so easily.

Heavenly Barren Pill was a Rank 5 immortal pill, but it wasn't something that a Pill King could refine. Even an ordinary Pill Emperor would have difficulty refining this pill perfectly.

This teenager seemed to be only at the Grand Yi Immortal realm. Wanting to ask a Pill Emperor to refine pills with that kind of strength was wishful thinking. If he wanted to refine Zhihuang Pills, there was only one way, which was to continue asking Mo Wuji.

Sure enough, when he heard that Mo Wuji didn't seem to be interested in the Heavenly Barren Grass, the teenager's face changed slightly, and he quickly said, "Immortal Pill Master Mo should know that the Zhihuang Pill is a pill for condensing spiritual will and strengthening the primordial spirit. The reason I'm refining this kind of immortal pill is because I found a remnant scroll, and the scroll is about a divine power for condensing the primordial spirit. If Immortal Pill Master Mo is willing to refine pills for me, I can offer this divine power to Immortal Pill Master Mo."

This was exactly what Mo Wuji wanted. It would be strange if someone wanted Zhihuang Pills for no reason and didn't have a technique for condensing spiritual will and primordial spirit. He himself also had a technique for condensing spiritual will, but that technique was created by him, and it had many flaws and hadn't completely formed a true system. He was going to establish a sect, so he naturally needed this kind of technique and divine power.

Seeing that Mo Wuji was silent after he finished speaking, the teenager was about to say something else when Mo Wuji suddenly said to the teenager, "Since that's the case, then come in."

As soon as he entered Mo Wuji's residence, the teenager immediately took out a tattered scroll and handed it to Mo Wuji. "Immortal Pill Master Mo, this is the remnant scroll I obtained, but there are too many missing parts."

As soon as Mo Wuji took the scroll, he knew that the teenager was not being honest. It wasn't just that there were too many missing parts; there was practically only a beginning. If he had really only obtained this beginning, the teenager in front of him would definitely not be able to condense his spiritual will and primordial spirit, and he wouldn't need Zhihuang Pills.

Mo Wuji didn't care about this. His techniques were different from others. Even if he gave him all of his divine powers, he would modify them.

"Star Sea Divine Art?" Seeing the name of this divine power and the few lines behind it, Mo Wuji said with suspicion, "This doesn't seem to be a technique for condensing the primordial spirit and spiritual will."
