Just a few breaths later, Ran Yushui understood Kuang Jin's choice. If she were in his place, she would have made the same decision. Kuang Jin's sole purpose for joining the Mi Fei Pill and Artifact Pavilion was to attain the Dao of Immortal Emperor. He was at the Perfection stage of Immortal Venerable when he first arrived, and centuries later, he remained at the same stage.

Over the years, Kuang Jin had acquired many cultivation resources. Frankly, Ran Yushui knew better than anyone else that most of Kuang Jin's gains came from his own plundering from the cosmic wall. As for the Emperor Truth Pill that Kuang Jin needed, the Mi Fei Pill and Artifact Pavilion had likely never mentioned it.

"I understand. Take care, Kuang-dage. Farewell." Ran Yushui quickly composed herself and even changed her form of address.

Kuang Jin watched Ran Yushui leave the pill dispensary, then turned to Lou Si and said, "Do you know what she meant by 'take care'?"

Lou Si shook her head subconsciously, still reeling from the shock of Kuang Jin suddenly becoming a member of the Immortal Mortal Pill Pavilion.

Kuang Jin's tone became slightly heavy as he said, "Now that I've joined the Immortal Mortal Pill Pavilion, the Mi Fei Pill and Artifact Pavilion will likely send an Emperor-level expert soon."

Although Mo Wuji had said that he had a way to deal with the Immortal Emperor of the Mi Fei Pill and Artifact Pavilion, Kuang Jin was still very worried. Just as Mo Wuji had thought before, fortune lies in taking risks. He had risked everything to stay in order to reach the Immortal Emperor realm.

If he didn't have to take any risks here, Mo Wuji wouldn't have given him the Emperor Truth Pill.

"Ah..." A look of surprise appeared on Lou Si's face, and even the shock of Kuang Jin joining the Immortal Mortal Pill Pavilion was pushed aside. She now wanted to advise Mo Wuji to leave immediately, but she knew that Mo Wuji likely wouldn't agree. She knew how terrifying the current profits of the Immortal Mortal Pill Pavilion were, as she was the one handling them.

Mo Wuji was about to leave Tian Wai Tian Market, and with so many scenes and top-grade immortal spiritual herbs and artifact refining treasures here, he wouldn't leave so easily.

...

"What?" Min Cheng suddenly stood up, looking at Ran Yushui with a shocked expression. Kuang Jin was the strongest fighter of the Mi Fei Pill and Artifact Pavilion in Tian Wai Tian Market, and he had actually been persuaded by Mo Wuji to go to the Immortal Mortal Pill Pavilion.

Ran Yushui cupped her fist and said, "Pavilion Master, I suspect that Mo Wuji is also a top-level Immortal Venerable expert. Our current strength is, at most, only about the same as his. I still suggest reporting this matter and asking for an Emperor Realm expert to come and help."

Min Cheng calmed down and said to Ran Yushui, "Manager Yushui, it was my mistake before for not listening to your advice. I will report this matter immediately..."

Min Cheng's expression was extremely unsightly, and Ran Yushui and Wen Li both knew the reason. The Mi Fei Pill and Artifact Pavilion in Tian Wai Tian Market was, in essence, just a place for those Emperor-level experts to collect cultivation resources. Those Emperor-level experts were mostly in seclusion or wandering in the cosmos.

If the Mi Fei Pill and Artifact Pavilion requested assistance, it would take at least a month for an Emperor-level expert to arrive. If the Pavilion Master of the Immortal Mortal Pill Pavilion had left a month later, then he, Min Cheng, would bear the greatest responsibility.

"The reason why Kuang Jin wanted to go to the Immortal Mortal Pill Pavilion must be because he had lost confidence in staying here. Manager Yushui, do you think that Mo Pill Master promised him the Emperor Truth Pill?" After calming down, Min Cheng began to suspect the reason for Kuang Jin's departure from the Mi Fei Pill and Artifact Pavilion.

Ran Yushui knew very well why Kuang Jin stayed in the Mi Fei Pill and Artifact Pavilion. Now that Min Cheng asked, she immediately said, "Pavilion Master, given Kuang Jin's current status and pursuit, it would be difficult for him to betray the Mi Fei Pill and Artifact Pavilion without the Emperor Truth Pill. If I'm not mistaken, Protector Kuang's departure is likely due to the Emperor Truth Pill."

Ran Yushui didn't have a bad impression of Kuang Jin, and even felt a sense of sympathy for him. Kuang Jin worked himself to death in the Mi Fei Pill and Artifact Pavilion. Not to mention the Emperor Truth Pill, even the things he harvested from the cosmic wall sometimes had to be taken out. And these things were basically taken away by the Emperor-level expert behind the Mi Fei Pill and Artifact Pavilion. She was the same. She was, at most, just a tool for the strong to collect azure crystals.

No matter how much profit the Mi Fei Pill and Artifact Pavilion made, it had little to do with them. Not to mention her, even Pavilion Master Min Cheng could only gain a small portion of it.

"Is that Mo Wuji a Grade 9 Pill Emperor?" Min Cheng stared at Ran Yushui in shock. He guessed that Mo Wuji should be a Pill Emperor, at most a Grade 8 Pill Emperor. To be honest, there were quite a few Grade 8 Pill Emperors in this part of the Tian Wai Tian Universe. Grade 9 Pill Emperors could be counted on one hand. Moreover, most Grade 9 Pill Emperors were unwilling to refine pills, and they would spend more time on cultivation.

Don't underestimate the difference of only one level between Grade 8 and Grade 9 Pill Emperors. In fact, the distance between Grade 8 and Grade 9 Pill Emperors was a chasm. Ninety-nine percent of Grade 8 Pill Emperors would never be able to step into Grade 9 Pill Emperor in their lifetime. Because they couldn't refine the Dao rhythm of the Heaven and Earth into the immortal pill. Therefore, all Grade 9 Pill Emperors were Immortal Emperor experts, and they were all Great Immortal Emperors with a very deep understanding of the Heaven and Earth Dao.

Ran Yushui shook her head. "It shouldn't be possible. That Mo Wuji is extremely young, and his cultivation is definitely not that of an Immortal Emperor, let alone a Great Immortal Emperor. It's already heaven-defying for him to become a Grade 8 Pill Emperor. The reason why he has the Emperor Truth Pill, I believe, is because he obtained it from his inheritance. Because it came easily and he is young, he thought that using an Emperor Truth Pill to buy a Perfection Immortal Venerable cultivator was a worthwhile deal."

Min Cheng also nodded, and he also guessed that it was unlikely. Which Grade 9 Pill Emperor wasn't a famous figure? How could they hole up in a market? Even if it was Tian Wai Tian Market, it was impossible.

...

For several days in a row, Mo Wuji was frantically refining pills, earning immortal crystals.

After Mo Wuji could easily refine Super Grade 8 immortal pills, Mo Wuji began to refine Grade 9 immortal pills.

Originally, Mo Wuji thought that with his Immortal Mortal Dao and so many top-grade immortal spiritual herbs, he would only need to practice a few more batches of medicinal materials to refine Grade 9 immortal pills.

When Mo Wuji failed seventeen batches of Grade 9 immortal pills in a row, he knew that he was mistaken. The refining of Grade 9 immortal pills was definitely not like Grade 8 immortal pills, where he could become more familiar with them and then integrate his own Immortal Mortal Dao.

If he wasn't so wealthy in Tian Wai Tian Market, he would have gone bankrupt by now. Bankruptcy was one thing, but the main thing was that he couldn't find so many Grade 9 immortal spiritual herbs to practice with.

Mo Wuji didn't continue to refine Grade 9 immortal pills. He suspected that there was also a problem with his Pill Dao. Because his last seven batches of Grade 9 immortal pills all failed at the same point, which was when condensing the pills. It was a pity that he didn't have a master. If he had a Grade 9 Pill Emperor master, Mo Wuji believed that he would be able to solve the problem quickly.

After searching for three full days, Mo Wuji still couldn't find a real solution. In his opinion, his refining techniques and steps were not a problem. The only problem was that he couldn't form the pills in the end.

Taking out dozens of immortal spiritual herbs, including the Heavenly Silence Grass, Mo Wuji cleaned the pill furnace, and he still wanted to continue refining the Silence Dust Immortal Pill.

In Mo Wuji's concept, practice was the only way out. If he couldn't figure out the reason, he would slowly realize it through his own pill refining.

The Silence Dust Immortal Pill was a Grade 9 healing immortal pill. This kind of immortal pill was also the most precious in Tian Wai Tian Market. Tian Wai Tian Market was full of various battles, and the value of Grade 9 healing immortal pills was self-evident.

The immortal materials were extracted by Mo Wuji. His Pill Dao had developed to the point where it was no longer just simple refining techniques and extraction techniques. Every trace of medicinal properties and aura in the medicinal liquid in the pill furnace was under his control.

Although Mo Wuji could now collect the pills in just half an hour, he still used an hour.

Every time before, the pills shattered after collection. Mo Wuji took a lesson from the past, and this time, after the collection technique and the medicinal liquid in the pill furnace merged, he used a space confinement method to forcibly fuse the pills together.

"Kaka Kaka..." Several more pills shattered.

The difference from before was that this time Mo Wuji brought out the first Grade 9 immortal pill.

The Silence Dust Immortal Pill lying in Mo Wuji's palm had no pill aura at all, only a dead, dull medicinal residue aura. Obviously, this was a waste pill.

Mo Wuji's gaze was fixed on the waste pill in his hand, completely unaware that time was passing quickly.

After a day, Mo Wuji seemed to have figured something out and suddenly said to himself, "I think I should understand what the reason is."

Grade 9 immortal pills were immortal pills that communicated with the Heaven and Earth Dao, but he only used ordinary methods to refine them. Even if he barely succeeded in forming the pills, they lacked a kind of Heaven and Earth Dao rhythm. Or rather, there were no rules at all. Grade 9 immortal pills must be a kind of pill with Heaven and Earth rules. Only by integrating the rules of the Heaven and Earth Dao rhythm can he refine Grade 9 immortal pills.

Mo Wuji let out a long sigh. If he wasn't the creator of the Immortal Mortal Dao, he would have given up on continuing to refine Grade 9 immortal pills. Because he knew that no matter how many Grade 9 immortal spiritual herbs he wasted, he would not be able to refine real Grade 9 immortal pills.

This kind of immortal pill could only be refined by experts at least at the Immortal Emperor level. Only by attaining the Dao of Immortal Emperor could one comprehend that kind of Heaven and Earth rules. Only then was it possible to integrate the Heaven and Earth rules and the breath of the Dao into the immortal pill. Moreover, every Pill Emperor's Grade 9 immortal pills were different. Even if they were the same kind of Grade 9 immortal pill, the effects and grades were different when refined by different Pill Emperors.

He, Mo Wuji, didn't advance to Pill Emperor with the identity of an Immortal Emperor, so he couldn't understand that principle before. If he hadn't forcibly refined a Grade 9 waste pill with space confinement, he still wouldn't understand now.

He was not an Immortal Emperor, but he was a Dao creator even more powerful than an Immortal Emperor. His Dao was, from the beginning, a journey to find the rules of Heaven and Earth. Other Grade 9 Pill Emperors could integrate the Heaven and Earth rules they comprehended into Grade 9 immortal pills, and he could also integrate his Immortal Mortal Dao into his Grade 9 immortal pills.

Understanding this principle, Mo Wuji took out another batch of Silence Dust Immortal Pill medicinal materials without hesitation and began to extract the medicinal materials and fuse the medicinal liquids with extremely rapid techniques...
