A flurry of rapid, disordered footsteps caused Mo Wuji to turn his head, and he was immediately stunned by the grand welcoming party. Leading the way was a noble-looking middle-aged woman, followed by at least several dozen people. Flanking her on both sides were over a hundred female cultivators in uniform attire, acting as guards.

Mo Wuji subconsciously stroked his chin, finding the spectacle rather excessive. What was going on? He had heard from Chi Huoer that the Tianchi Mountain Manor Lord, Yan Huimeng, had last visited Star Emperor Mountain. He hadn't met her, and she was reportedly a little displeased. Judging by this display, she didn't seem to be holding a grudge.

"Star Lord Mo, I was just planning to visit Star Emperor Mountain. I never expected the Star Lord to grace us with his presence. It is the honor of my Tianchi Mountain Manor…" Even before getting close, Yan Huimeng greeted him with a beaming smile and a loud voice.

Not only Yan Huimeng, but all the elders following behind her also cupped their fists in salute and offered respectful greetings.

"Uh…" Mo Wuji couldn't handle such enthusiasm. After an awkward "uh," he quickly said, "Manor Lord, you're too kind. I've come to trouble you this time."

Yan Huimeng seemed to be smiling with her whole body. "No trouble at all, no trouble at all. If Star Lord Mo has matters to entrust to my Tianchi Mountain Manor, it is a great honor for us."

After saying that, Yan Huimeng seemed to remember something and quickly said, "Xi Yue, quickly pay your respects to the Star Lord… Oh, right, Star Lord Mo, this is my disciple, Xi Yue."

"Zhuang Xi Yue greets the Star Lord." Zhuang Xi Yue stepped forward with a bowed head and performed a graceful lady's courtesy.

At this moment, her heart was truly pounding. She had seen many handsome male cultivators and countless good-looking men who had come to Tianchi Mountain Manor to court her. However, there had never been anyone like this Star Lord Mo, who made it difficult for her to suppress her small thoughts.

At first glance, he was an ordinary man, no different from a passerby. But when she paid attention to him, what a feeling it was!

His hair seemed a bit disheveled. Standing behind her master, she had secretly glanced at the messenger flying sword, knowing that Cang Jue had a flame futon. She wondered if his slightly messy hair was due to being burned by the flame futon. However, the slightly disheveled hair was casually tied up, giving her an indescribable sense of beauty.

His body was well-proportioned and strong. That well-proportioned body, coupled with his not-the-most-handsome but gentle face, gave her the impression of a peerless man.

His clear gaze also couldn't hide a kind of innate ordinariness, yet he was an extraordinary person. He possessed a kind of vicissitude, a kind of maturity and masculinity that other men couldn't compare to. These qualities seemed to be hidden beneath that ordinariness.

If they met on the road, she would never have thought he was the Star Lord of Star Emperor Mountain. After knowing that he was the Star Lord of Star Emperor Mountain, when facing him, she felt that in the entire True Star Continent, no one was more suitable for the position of Star Lord of Star Emperor Mountain than him.

Zhuang Xi Yue's heart pounded fiercely. The person in front of her was like a mountain, containing a vast volume of vicissitudes within his ordinariness. The most handsome men in this world were all scum in his presence.

Perhaps for someone like her who couldn't control her own destiny, following such a person was her best destination.

Mo Wuji only noticed Zhuang Xi Yue at this moment, and he was equally shocked by her beauty.

Having seen too many beauties with powder-covered faces on Earth, he realized what true beauty was like after seeing Cen Shuyin after coming to True Star Continent.

And this Zhuang Xi Yue was not inferior to Cen Shuyin in appearance.

The girl was dressed in a light yellow dress. Although she only glanced at him a few times before lowering her head, her peerless beauty had already caught Mo Wuji's eye. Coupled with her perfect figure and the simple pearl flowers adorning her female cultivator's bun, she was not only stunning but also radiated a pure aura.

Shuyin was the number one beauty of the Lost Continent back then. This Zhuang Xi Yue's appearance could be considered the number one beauty of this True Mi Continent.

No wonder Yan Huimeng of Tianchi Mountain Manor had always been confident in bringing Zhuang Xi Yue to Star Emperor Mountain. With such a beautiful girl, she certainly wasn't lacking in confidence.

Yan Huimeng had been watching Mo Wuji while Zhuang Xi Yue and Mo Wuji were exchanging greetings. To tell the truth, she was shocked by Mo Wuji's ordinariness.

The Star Lord of Star Emperor Mountain didn't have the slightest trace of spiritual energy. He looked like an ordinary mortal. She quickly discovered the difference in Mo Wuji. This was definitely a kind of return to simplicity and inner restraint. Not to mention anything else, just looking at those bright eyes, she knew that nothing could escape his gaze.

Seeing Mo Wuji reveal an admiring look towards Zhuang Xi Yue, Yan Huimeng was even happier. She believed that there was basically no problem with this matter.

"Miss Zhuang is too polite," Mo Wuji replied with a simple cupping of his fists.

Zhuang Xi Yue's heart tightened. Many male cultivators who came to Tianchi Mountain Manor called her Xi Yue Junior Sister when returning the greeting. Even the most conservative ones would call her Miss Xi Yue. It was the first time someone had directly called her Miss Zhuang. A feeling of great distance immediately welled up in her heart.

"Star Lord Mo, please come inside quickly." Yan Huimeng's experience was far greater than Zhuang Xi Yue's. She knew very well that this initial address didn't mean anything at all.

As the Star Lord of Star Emperor Mountain, Mo Wuji naturally couldn't reveal a lustful appearance right away, right? This was also the difference between Mo Wuji and that useless Xia Mu of the Xia family.

If Xia Mu had Mo Wuji's bearing, how could the Xia family have been destroyed in the end? In Yan Huimeng's view, the Xia family perished because Xia Mu had forced Mo Wuji's fiancée into the Thorny Wind Gate, where she eventually fell.

She didn't know that Cen Shuyin had fallen in the Frozen Ice Sea, not the Thorny Wind Gate.

Under the escort of a group from Tianchi Mountain Manor, Mo Wuji walked into the most luxurious guest hall of Tianchi Mountain Manor.

As soon as he sat down, the best spiritual fruits and various spiritual teas and wines were sent up like flowing water. Two beautiful young girls stood behind Mo Wuji, ready to serve him at any time. Even if Mo Wuji didn't drink a sip of the spiritual tea, it would be replaced with a hot one after a while.

Mo Wuji sighed inwardly. After coming to True Star Continent, he had suffered a lot. At the same time, he had also been the leader of a sect. Whether it was taking over Heavenly Secrets Sect, becoming the alliance leader of the Hundred Sects Alliance, or becoming the Star Lord of Star Emperor Mountain, he had never enjoyed this kind of attentive service. Tianchi Mountain Manor's strength was average, but its methods were quite skilled.

Yan Huimeng, like chatting at home but with respect, praised Mo Wuji for protecting True Star Continent, having powerful methods. Star Emperor Mountain was lucky to have Mo Wuji, and it was the luck of the entire True Star Continent.

Mo Wuji wasn't in the mood to listen to Yan Huimeng's constant praise, nor was he in the mood to enjoy it here. After drinking a few sips of tea, he said directly, "Manor Lord Yan, I have something to ask you today."

Yan Huimeng knew the main topic was coming. She quickly put down her teacup and said solemnly, "Star Lord Mo, please speak. As long as my Tianchi Mountain Manor knows and can do it, we will definitely not refuse in the slightest."

"Then thank you, Manor Lord Yan. I was in seclusion the few times Manor Lord visited Star Emperor Mountain before, so please forgive me for the neglect." After Mo Wuji finished speaking, he didn't wait for Yan Huimeng to say polite words and continued, "After I came out of seclusion a few days ago, I heard that Manor Lord mentioned a person named Mo Tiancheng. To be honest, this Mo Tiancheng has a great relationship with me, so please tell me about him."

Yan Huimeng had guessed that Mo Wuji had come for Mo Tiancheng. Now it was indeed the case. It seemed that her investigation had not been in vain.

She nodded solemnly and said, "I wonder if Star Lord Mo has heard of the True Mi Twin Valleys, one being Immortal Physician Valley and the other being Immortal Pill Valley?"

"I've heard of Immortal Physician Valley, but I haven't really heard of that Immortal Pill Valley," Mo Wuji replied. He had indeed not heard of any Immortal Pill Valley. San Yisheng of Immortal Physician Valley was well-known, having saved countless lives, so he had naturally heard of him.

Yan Huimeng explained, "More than twenty years ago, the number one pill refiner in the entire True Mi Continent was Lai Wanxing, an eight-grade peak Celestial Pill Master from Immortal Pill Valley. In a sudden burst of power, he could even refine nine-grade Celestial Spirit Pills. In True Mi Continent, it was extremely difficult to ask him to refine a pill. I heard that Star Lord Chi Tong had once asked him for help. I don't know if Star Lord Chi's advancement to Earth Immortal has anything to do with Lai Wanxing."

Mo Wuji nodded. It was very difficult for Celestial Pill Masters to advance even a small step. Lai Wanxing was an eight-grade peak Celestial Pill Master, so he was very powerful.

"But more than twenty years ago, Lai Wanxing suddenly disappeared, and no one knew where he went."

Yan Huimeng paused, looked at Mo Wuji, and said, "If I hadn't found a corpse not long ago, I wouldn't have known about such a thing. I found a blood-etched jade token in that corpse. The jade token had more than a dozen names engraved on it…"

As she spoke, Yan Huimeng took out a jade token and handed it to Mo Wuji. This jade token was not found recently; it had been kept in Tianchi Mountain Manor for more than ten years.

Mo Wuji took the jade token and looked at it. There were indeed some names on it:

Guan Jingyan: Elder of Jade Cauldron Sect, four-grade Earth Pill Master of the Metal attribute.

Jia Yeshan: Pill Master of the Jia family in Rong County, three-grade Human Pill Master of the Metal attribute.

Pan Jiehao: Pill Master of Scarlet Spirit Sect, three-grade Human Pill Master of the Metal attribute.

Ge Siguangjiang: True Mi rogue cultivator, two-grade Human Pill Master of the Metal attribute.

Mo Tiancheng: Mo family of North Qin County in the Lost Continent, three-grade Human Pill Master of the Metal attribute.

…

Mo Wuji's gaze landed on Mo Tiancheng's name. He knew that his grandfather, Mo Tiancheng, was a Pill Master, but he didn't expect him to be a three-grade one.

Soon, Mo Wuji noticed something was wrong. All the names on it were Pill Masters with Metal spiritual roots. He himself was a six-grade Earth Pill Master, so he was very clear about which spiritual root was the least suitable for refining pills. The least suitable spiritual root for refining pills was the Metal spiritual root. Not only was the Metal spiritual root the least suitable for refining pills, but the success rate of refining pills was also extremely low.

He didn't expect that Mo Tiancheng was not only a Metal spiritual root but also a three-grade Human Pill Master. How heaven-defying was his pill-refining talent? He was very clear that even with a Wood spiritual root, it would be extremely difficult to become a three-grade Human Pill Master in a place like North Qin County, let alone a Metal spiritual root.
