Chapter 559: Can't Afford to Offend
So what if Ying Shui Immortal City had advanced to an Upper Immortal City? Before a behemoth like the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, it was nothing.
"Mother, you often tell me that one can protect oneself, but one cannot be ungrateful. Without Brother Mo, my Ying Shui Immortal City would have long become an affiliated Immortal City of others. What would the fate of Mother and I be?" Wen Lianxi looked at Yan Qianling calmly, her tone gentle, but filled with determination.
Yan Qianling was stunned, then stepped forward and hugged her daughter, "Lian Xi, you are right."
She was proud to have such a daughter. In the Immortal Realm, she had seen too many dirty things, too many so-called seekers of the Dao who disregarded even family and friendship for the sake of treasures and the Immortal Dao. Her daughter, for the sake of gratitude, was dragging Ying Shui Immortal City into a vortex.
Tan Liang sighed on the side, "Lian Xi is the kindest woman I have ever seen. She is right, how can one pursue the Great Dao if one does not even understand gratitude? If Pill Master Mo is truly threatened because of the Immortal Valley Token matter, I, Tan Liang, am willing to speak a word of fairness for him."
Mo Wuji thought to himself that this Wen Lianxi and her mother seemed to be good people. And this Pill Master Tan Liang who came with them, his character was much better than Geng Ji. At least he wouldn't speak against his conscience.
Just as Tan Liang finished speaking, two figures had already landed in the middle of the Moon Return Immortal Breath Building's first-floor hall.
The surrounding crowd became even quieter. As soon as they saw the clothing and insignia of these two people, everyone knew that they were from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance.
Don't think that this is Eternal Ying Immortal City. When the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance enforces the law here, the Heavenly Emperor Kui Fengyun of Eternal Ying Immortal City really wouldn't dare to talk nonsense.
"Who dares to insult my Pill Dao Immortal Alliance and kill my Pill Dao Immortal Alliance's Fifth Grade Pill King?" As soon as the two arrived, one of them, a man with a face full of whiskers, shouted sternly.
The other person had fair skin, and after arriving, he just swept his gaze over Mo Wuji, and then stopped speaking.
When Geng Ji saw the two of them arrive, he quickly stepped forward and said, "This pill master called Mo Xinghe, relying on the fact that he won the top three in the Pill Dao Competition, actually dared to attack my Pill Dao Immortal Alliance's Pill King Di Baisheng here. He even directly chopped off one of Baisheng's arms."
As for the reason why Mo Wuji took action, he didn't mention a single word.
Mo Wuji sneered, "Do you think that just chopping off an arm is enough? This matter has only just begun."
Mo Wuji hated this kind of person the most, relying on the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance as their backing, and acting arrogantly everywhere. This time, he had entered the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance in advance and became an honorary elder. Otherwise, how would he be able to face these two Pill Kings of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance? Besides compromising, he could only run away.
Once he ran away, would he still want the Underworld Heart Divine Flower? Thinking of this, Mo Wuji felt even more fearful, and his anger grew even greater.
The two Pill Dao Immortal Alliance enforcers who originally wanted to take Mo Wuji away immediately changed their minds after hearing Mo Wuji's words. The man with the face full of whiskers cupped his fists at Mo Wuji and said, "Although Pill Master Mo achieved good results in this Pill Dao Competition, publicly chopping off the arm of my Pill Dao Immortal Alliance's Pill King can be considered a provocation against my Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. We would like to invite Pill Master Mo to come with us and go to the Eternal Ying Immortal City branch of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance to explain this matter clearly."
Everyone knew that once they went to the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance branch, there was no need for any explanation. Even if Mo Wuji won third place in the Pill Dao Competition, he would have no chance to come out again. As for those two spots, they would naturally belong to the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance.
"What are your names?" Mo Wuji's gaze swept over the two of them. He estimated that these two should both be below the Immortal King level, most likely two Grand Luo Immortals.
Hearing Mo Wuji's words, the man with the face full of whiskers became even more serious, cupping his fists and saying, "We two are the enforcers of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance stationed at the Eternal Ying Immortal City branch. My name is Li Bin, and his name is Xu Angchang. May I ask what this friend is called?"
Mo Wuji won third place in the Eternal Ying Immortal Region Pill Dao Competition, everyone knew his name. The two enforcers of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance were asking Mo Wuji's name, completely talking nonsense. What they wanted to know was Mo Wuji's background.
Mo Wuji grabbed a jade token and threw it over, saying, "This is my name."
This was a purple jade token. There was a "Venerable (尊)" character in the upper left corner of the jade token, next to the insignia of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, a pill furnace, with the flames above the pill furnace.
Then there were the words "Fourth Grade Pill King," followed by a line of words, "Honorary Elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance."
Standing on the side, Geng Ji's face turned pale when he saw Mo Wuji's jade token. Di Baisheng, whose face was already pale, had no color at all at this moment.
They also had jade tokens, but their identity jade tokens were cyan. This Mo Xinghe's jade token was actually purple. What did purple represent? As Pill Kings of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, they knew it very well. It meant Venerable Grade Pill King.
Even in the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, how many Venerable Grade Pill Kings were there? Don't think that Gongyang Xue won first place in this alchemy competition, and he could now easily refine all Fourth Grade Immortal Pills of exceptional quality, but he could not obtain the title of Venerable Grade Pill King. If he wanted to become Venerable Grade now, he had to take the examination for Eighth Grade Venerable Grade Pill Emperor.
Only by refining a batch of exceptional-quality Eighth Grade Immortal Pills in the Pill Dao Tower could one become an Eighth Grade Venerable Grade Pill Emperor. This probability was almost zero. Not to mention Gongyang Xue, even the most powerful Pill Emperor in the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was not Venerable Grade.
Moreover, this young man in front of them was not only a Fourth Grade Venerable Grade Pill King, he was also an Honorary Elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Whether in terms of rank or status, he was far superior to their two Fifth Grade Pill Kings.
This time, they had kicked an iron plate. Geng Ji and Di Baisheng's faces turned pale, and cold sweat oozed out.
Geng Ji regretted it so much that he wanted to bang his head on the ground immediately. How could the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance miss out on such a young Pill King? How could he have been blinded by interests?
Li Bin respectfully sent the Venerable Grade Pill King jade token in his hand to Mo Wuji, and then cautiously asked, "Elder Mo, how do you want us to deal with these two?"
If Mo Wuji's strength was sufficient, he would directly cripple Geng Ji and Di Baisheng. Now that his strength was insufficient, he didn't want to borrow the hands of others.
Before Mo Wuji could speak, Geng Ji and Di Baisheng came to Mo Wuji and bowed deeply to the ground, "We were blind and offended Elder Mo. Please punish us, Elder Mo."
This was the rule of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. If one offended an elder-level expert of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, what was asked for was not leniency, but punishment.
Mo Wuji was not interested in the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. He said to Li Bin and Xu Angchang, "These two, using the name of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, wanted to pressure me to hand over the Immortal Valley token. Take these two away and punish them according to the rules of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance."
"Yes." The two enforcers of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance quickly responded and took Geng Ji and Di Baisheng away quickly.
The two Pill Kings already had some status in the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. No matter how much status they had, who told them to offend the Honorary Elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance? This was called courting death.
The surrounding people were relieved when they found out that Mo Wuji was an elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Besides the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, where else would there be such a powerful young Pill King?
On the other hand, Wen Lianxi lowered her head. Mo Wuji was so young and capable, and his personality was not aggressive. It was impossible for her not to have any good feelings for him. Although she said that her mother's suggestion was outrageous, she was still looking forward to it in her heart.
Who wouldn't want their Dao companion to be capable, who wouldn't want their Dao companion to be strong? She had seen many elite disciples of ordinary Immortal sects at some gatherings. But she had never seen a strong person as young and capable as Mo Wuji.
If Mo Wuji wasn't an Honorary Elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, she and Mo Wuji might really have a chance. Now there was almost no possibility at all. Even a fool knew that the future of such a young Venerable Grade Pill King was bright.
"Everyone, disperse." Mo Wuji waved his hand at the many onlookers.
Everyone gave friendly gestures and dispersed. Regardless of whether they could get to know such a young Pill Dao expert as Mo Wuji, no one was stupid enough to offend a Venerable Grade Pill King of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance.
Some cultivators who originally wanted to covet Mo Wuji's identity jade token also retreated. If they dared to do anything coveting Mo Wuji's identity, what awaited them was not just being taken away, but most likely the destruction of their entire clan.
"Elder Mo, thank you for saving my Ying Shui Immortal City." Yan Qianling's mentality had also changed. If she felt that Wen Lianxi and Mo Wuji were a good match before, she didn't think so now. Mo Wuji was a Venerable Grade Pill King of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, an Honorary Elder. This status was even more honorable than the City Lord of Ying Shui Immortal City.
How could such a noble elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance care about an ordinary Wen Lianxi? That's right, Wen Lianxi's beauty, even in the Eternal Ying Immortal Region, was among the best. But when Immortals were looking for Dao companions, beauty was the last thing they considered.
From Wen Lianxi's words just now, Mo Wuji knew that this beautiful woman was Wen Lianxi's mother. He quickly cupped his fists and said, "Senior is being too polite. Why don't you come to my residence for a chat?"
Mo Wuji guessed that Yan Qianling brought Wen Lianxi here not only to thank him, but also to take away an Immortal Valley token.
Anyway, he had two in his hands now, and it wouldn't hurt to give one to Wen Lianxi.
"Haha, Elder Mo, you ran so fast. When Hengjun and I wanted to find you, you were already gone. That's why we had to be uninvited guests and come knocking on your door. We happened to meet Brother Wu Yunsheng on the way, so we came together." A loud laughter came, and Mo Wuji then saw Gongyang Xue.
Behind Gongyang Xue were the other two Pill Emperors, one was Hengjun, and the other was Wu Yunsheng.
Mo Wuji immediately understood why these guys had come. Just as he had sensed another door to the Pill Dao from the pills of these guys, these Pill Emperors were also shocked by his refinement of the essence of medicinal liquids. They wanted to ask him for advice on the technique of refining the essence of medicinal liquids.
