"This stone looks quite beautiful." Mo Wuji said, turning the Three-Flower Flame Heart Stone in his hand a few times. After saying that, he put the Flame Heart Stone back into the jade box, but he did not return the jade box to the woman from the Po Kong Treasure Pavilion.

Seeing this situation, Cha Kai knew that if he still wanted this Flame Heart Stone, it would be equivalent to forming a grudge with Mo Wuji. Anyway, even without Mo Wuji, Ao Tiancheng would not easily let him have the Flame Heart Stone. Now that Mo Wuji said this, he simply said, "Since Elder Mo also likes this stone, then I don't want it. I'll just borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha and give it to Elder Mo."

After speaking, he glanced at Ao Tiancheng with a meaningful look, and said in a strange tone, "I forgot that Immortal Friend Ao is supposed to compensate for the loss. I believe Immortal Friend Ao will voluntarily pay for this Flame Heart Stone."

Ao Tiancheng snorted coldly and turned to leave.

He could forget about the Flame Heart Stone. It was a pipe dream to expect him to pay for the Flame Heart Stone so that Mo Wuji could apologize.

Mo Wuji said calmly, "Ao Tiancheng, if you dare to walk out of this room without making compensation, I will do two things. First, I will request the Dao Refining Immortal Alliance to immediately terminate all transactions and dealings with Yue Long Golden River. Second, after I buy this stone, I will fight my way to your residence. Don't worry, I won't go to the Dao Refining Immortal Alliance for help. It will just be me alone."

After Mo Wuji finished speaking, he looked at Ao Tiancheng with icy eyes. He wasn't saying a word of a lie. As an honorary elder, it definitely wouldn't be a problem for him to request this from the Dao Refining Immortal Alliance. If this was a problem, he would rather not have the title of honorary elder of the Dao Refining Immortal Alliance.

As for fighting his way to Ao Tiancheng's residence, he wasn't just talking nonsense either.

He wasn't afraid of Ao Tiancheng at all. With his status, even if he fought a battle at Ao Tiancheng's residence, there wouldn't be any repercussions. More importantly, a battle with Ao Tiancheng would only benefit him and not harm him.

But it was different for Ao Tiancheng. If someone actually fought their way to his door, and he couldn't do anything to the person who came, he would lose all face.

Ao Tiancheng stopped, and a fierce light shot out from his eyes. Intense killing intent rose in his heart. If this wasn't the Jiao Jiao Immortal Ruins, he would have taken action immediately.

His reason was still intact. After a few breaths, he took a deep breath, grabbed a ring and threw it to Du Ju, "This is the fee for purchasing the Flame Heart Stone. Farewell."

After speaking, he turned and left. To tell the truth, since his debut, Ao Tiancheng had never been as aggrieved as he was today. If he could, he really wanted a great battle with Mo Wuji, relying on his own abilities to speak.

But he wouldn't let today's grievance go so easily. He didn't believe that Mo Wuji would stay holed up in the Jiao Jiao Immortal Ruins for the rest of his life. As long as Mo Wuji dared to leave the Jiao Jiao Immortal Ruins, he shouldn't blame him for showing no mercy.

But today, he had no choice but to bow his head. Yue Long Golden River's dependence on the Dao Refining Immortal Alliance was not low. Even the pills he needed to advance to the Mysterious Immortal realm came from the Dao Refining Immortal Alliance. What's more, Yue Long Golden River needed even more strategic pills for advancing to the Grand Prime Immortal and even the Immortal King realm.

Once they offended the Dao Refining Immortal Alliance, Yue Long Golden River would gradually be trampled underfoot by others.

Another reason was that he was really afraid of Mo Wuji fighting his way to his residence. Ao Tiancheng was a proud person. If a Golden Immortal cultivator fought his way to his door, wouldn't he lose face? Not to mention that this Mo Wuji's strength was mysterious. Even if the other party's strength was very poor, would he dare to kill him?

With the item in his possession, Mo Wuji cupped his fists at Du Ju and Cha Kai, saying, "Thank you, Dao Friend Du, and Dao Friend Cha. I'll take my leave now. I'll come and bother you again if I have the chance in the future."

He knew that it was impossible for Ao Tiancheng to apologize. Next time the two of them met in private, it was estimated that it would be a life-or-death situation.

Having suppressed Ao Tiancheng, Mo Wuji naturally wouldn't make an enemy of Cha Kai again. Moreover, Cha Kai also intended to befriend him. It was always better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. I'll see Elder Mo out." Du Ju said with a smile.

"I'm leaving too. I'll go out with Elder Mo." Cha Kai also stood up and said with a smile. In any case, it was not a bad thing to befriend an elder of the Dao Refining Immortal Alliance.

……

In a rest house outside the Po Kong Treasure Pavilion, Shen Muqing had ordered a cup of immortal spirit tea and had been sitting here. She really wanted to know how the final result would be.

The Po Kong Treasure Pavilion had been silent for a long time, and she was even thinking that Mo Wuji and Dou Hualong had been killed by the Po Kong Treasure Pavilion. The Jiao Jiao Immortal Ruins did not allow killing, but Mo Wuji had smashed the stone lions of the Jiao Jiao Immortal Ruins, so it was possible to kill Mo Wuji in this situation.

After another while, she saw Ao Tiancheng come out of the Po Kong Treasure Pavilion with a face full of killing intent and suffocation. She couldn't help but guess, could it be that Cha Kai had won?

The answer quickly appeared in her sight. She even thought she was seeing things and wanted to rub her eyes.

Mo Wuji and Dou Hualong came out unscathed. Not only that, but the manager of the Po Kong Treasure Pavilion's branch in the Jiao Jiao Immortal Ruins, Du Ju, followed behind with a smiling face, obviously seeing Mo Wuji off. Even Cha Kai was walking on Mo Wuji's side, also seemingly seeing Mo Wuji off.

After walking out the door for a while, Cha Kai actually cupped his fists at Mo Wuji to bid farewell. And Du Ju seemed to be polite to Mo Wuji again before turning around and entering the Po Kong Treasure Pavilion.

Mo Wuji left the Po Kong Treasure Pavilion without losing a single hair.

Shen Muqing was not a fool, and she immediately understood what was going on. Mo Wuji was indeed of astonishing origin, otherwise Du Ju and Cha Kai would not have had such expressions. It was even more impossible for Mo Wuji to be sent out like a master after breaking the stone lions of the Po Kong Treasure Pavilion.

And Ao Tiancheng, who had left earlier, was obviously suffering a loss. Why would Ao Tiancheng suffer a loss? Shen Muqing could guess with her toes that it was because Dou Hualong's injuries were caused by him.

Shen Muqing sighed. She had indeed missed the opportunity to befriend Mo Wuji. This made her understand a principle even more clearly: if you want to befriend someone, don't be afraid to take risks. With a mentality that you can only share wealth and not adversity with others, you cannot make true friends. She guessed that Mo Wuji was unusual, but when it came to really paying the price, she hesitated.

Fortunately, she had finally met Mo Wuji, and her previous efforts were not in vain. Even if she couldn't become the kind of close friend that Mo Wuji was, it wouldn't be a bad thing to know one more person, or even have the other party owe her a favor.

……

Mo Wuji did not return to the Linhe Immortal Rest Building, but went to the Dao Refining Immortal Alliance. Dou Hualong had told him that Gong Yi had already set up his shop for him, and he was going to see how the shop was.

"Elder Mo." As soon as Mo Wuji arrived outside the Jiao Jiao Immortal Ruins branch of the Dao Refining Immortal Alliance, Gong Yi received the news and came out to greet him.

Mo Wuji said politely, "Manager Gong, I have been in closed-door cultivation during this time, so I have troubled you to help."

Gong Yi's eyes narrowed together, and he quickly said, "Not hard, not hard. The shop has been found. It was mainly Manager Guo who helped. I just ran errands."

As he spoke, Gong Yi took out a scroll and handed it to Mo Wuji, "This is the shop's deed. This shop will be Elder Mo's from now on."

Mo Wuji originally wanted to rent a shop, but he didn't expect Guo Qi to buy one for him. He quickly said, "Then I have to thank Sister Qi very much. I want to thank her in person and give her the money."

The price of a shop in the Jiao Jiao Immortal Ruins was definitely not a small number. Even if Mo Wuji couldn't afford it, he had to know the price and then find a way to repay it.

Gong Yi quickly said, "Manager Guo, the commerce president, and Alchemist Shu Nan have left the Jiao Jiao Immortal Ruins for urgent matters. The commerce president also said that he will host a banquet for Elder Mo after he comes back."

Left the Jiao Jiao Immortal Ruins for urgent matters? It seemed that the matter was not small enough to cause the main figures of the Dao Refining Immortal Alliance's branch in the Jiao Jiao Immortal Ruins to leave at the same time.

"Elder Mo, I'll take you to the shop." Gong Yi was very clever. Mo Wuji was a very capable Pill Refiner, and he was even acquainted with Manager Guo Qi and the second president of the branch. If he had the opportunity to help, he would definitely befriend Mo Wuji.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Manager Gong." Mo Wuji nodded and thanked him.

……

The shop that Guo Qi helped Mo Wuji find was half an hour away from the Dao Refining Immortal Alliance branch, which was not too close. Although the location was not the most prosperous place, it was still a bustling street with people coming and going in the Jiao Jiao Immortal Ruins.

What Mo Wuji was most satisfied with was that the shop was not small, covering an area of hundreds of square meters, and was a three-story building.

In the Jiao Jiao Immortal Ruins, owning a three-story building with hundreds of square meters was already very remarkable. Even some not-so-small sects might not have this kind of territory.

As soon as he entered the shop, Mo Wuji saw rows of transparent shelves. Although there was nothing on these shelves, they showed that the person who placed them was very careful.

"Manager Gong, thank you." Mo Wuji said very gratefully.

Gong Yi rubbed his hands awkwardly, seemingly having something to say but was too embarrassed to say it.

Mo Wuji asked doubtfully, "Does Manager Gong have something inconvenient to say?"

Gong Yi suddenly knelt on the ground with a plop, "Elder Mo, my Dao of Alchemy has stagnated. I want to take you as my teacher."

Mo Wuji was stunned. This guy was really thinking too much. This Gong Yi was at least a Grand Yi Immortal, and he wanted to take him, a Golden Immortal, as his teacher?

"Get up and talk. I'm just groping around myself, so it's impossible for me to take disciples." Mo Wuji said calmly.

It wasn't that he didn't take disciples, but that Gong Yi didn't meet the standards to become his disciple.

Seeing Gong Yi stand up with some disappointment, Mo Wuji comforted him, "You are now an assessment manager of the Dao Refining Immortal Alliance branch, so it's inconvenient for you to come here…"

"Elder Mo, I can come here to work. Our Dao Refining Immortal Alliance doesn't pay the most attention to this aspect. I am a Pill Refiner of the Dao Refining Immortal Alliance, so I am not restricted in what I want to do." Gong Yi quickly said.

Mo Wuji pondered for a moment. When his Pill Dao building opened, he would also need someone to help. This Gong Yi was a bit snobbish, but he was an experienced and discerning person. Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "In that case, you can come here to work. I can usually give you some pointers on refining pills, as for the matter of taking a teacher, there's no need to mention it again."

"Thank you, Elder Mo." Gong Yi said with great joy. What he wanted was to follow Mo Wuji and learn the Dao of Alchemy.
