Moh Wuji had just returned to the Mortal Pill Shop when Lou Si informed him that Min Cheng, the shop owner of the Mi Fei Pill Shop, along with the inner and outer deacons Wen Li and Ran Yushui, had come to visit.

Without hesitation, Moh Wuji asked Lou Si to decline. He had no desire to see these people. He knew exactly what they were after – trying to gather information and somehow it had led them to him.

"Shop Owner Min, Deacons, my shop owner is currently in a critical stage of seclusion and cannot receive guests for at least half a month," Lou Si said, following Moh Wuji's instructions, directly rejecting Min Cheng and the others who were waiting outside the pill shop.

Min Cheng's face turned livid with anger. He really wanted to just blast open Moh Wuji's pill shop, but he didn't dare.

Regardless of whether Elder Du Hong's disappearance was related to Moh Wuji, the recent news that Moh Wuji had spent half a day with the Lord of the Celestial Market Prefecture was enough to make him hesitate.

"In that case, I will visit again in half a month," Min Cheng said with a cold snort to Lou Si, before turning and leaving.

"Shop Owner, I think we should report this," Wen Li said, a bit worried after learning that Moh Wuji was acquainted with the Lord of the Celestial Market Prefecture.

Min Cheng was silent for a moment before saying, "Let's wait another day. If there's no news of Elder Du after one more day, we'll report it immediately."

...

At this moment, Moh Wuji was frantically refining pills. Now a Grade-9 Pill Emperor, his speed in refining ordinary Immortal Pills had increased again.

Large quantities of cyan crystals, high-grade immortal spirit herbs, and refining materials were constantly flowing into Moh Wuji's ring.

However, Lou Si was receiving too many orders. Even with Moh Wuji's increased refining speed, the backlog of pill refinement tasks was still growing.

Despite having accumulated over five million cyan crystals in his own world, Moh Wuji knew that this couldn't continue. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to leave this place in two months.

Moh Wuji stopped refining pills and began to study the Star Sea God Art. He wanted to see if his spiritual will could be divided into several parts. If his spiritual will could be separated into independent parts without affecting each other, he could simultaneously control two, or even more, furnaces of pills.

Moh Wuji cultivated the Immortal Mortal Technique through meridian circulation reversal. After his Mortal Dao was formed, it created the Enlightenment Dao Network.

Now, as he began to deduce how to refine several furnaces of pills simultaneously based on the Star Sea God Art, the Enlightenment Dao Network immediately entered a state of selfless deduction.

The Star Sea God Art not only tempered the Sea of Consciousness, but could also form magical arts and divine abilities. Because of the Enlightenment Dao Network's deduction, Moh Wuji was so immersed in it that he forgot about the original plan to only deduce for two or three days.

Half a month passed quickly, and during that time, Moh Wuji hadn't refined a single pill.

Because Lou Si hadn't received any notification from Moh Wuji, she continued to accept orders. It wasn't until more and more immortals were waiting outside the Mortal Pill Shop for immortal pills that she sensed something was wrong and dared not accept any more orders.

However, none of the messages she sent to Moh Wuji received a response.

She could sense the continuous Dao rhythm emanating from Moh Wuji, and that was why she didn't dare disturb him. Whether it was seclusion or enlightenment, the most important thing was not to be disturbed.

If Lou Si had continued to accept orders, simply telling the immortals who came to refine pills that the shop owner was in seclusion and that those who had paid cyan crystals would have to wait, things wouldn't have been so bad.

Unfortunately, Lou Si had never studied psychology. She stopped accepting orders and even closed the queue numbering formation. After more than half a month, the Mortal Pill Shop hadn't produced a single pill, which made many immortals who had paid cyan crystals restless.

There was a conflict between the Mortal Pill Shop and the Mi Fei Pill Shop. Now that the Mortal Pill Shop had suddenly stopped providing pills, who knew if the shop owner had been killed by the Mi Fei Pill Shop?

The immortals who were waiting outside the Mortal Pill Shop for pills could no longer restrain themselves after Lou Si closed the queue formation.

All the immortals who had paid cyan crystals crowded outside the Mortal Pill Shop, shouting for the shop owner to come out and give an explanation.

The protective formation hadn't even been attacked yet, but with thousands upon thousands of people surging over, the protective formation of the Mortal Pill Shop was already trembling.

Lou Si was at a loss. With so many people crowding here, the Mortal Pill Shop would be reduced to ashes if everyone attacked just once.

"Immortal friends, please wait a moment. Our shop owner is researching a new immortal pill..."

Lou Si was interrupted by a rough voice before she could finish, "Deacon Lou, we're all here to seek pills. We have no objection to Shop Owner Moh researching new pills, but we're only concerned about whether we can get our pills first."

"That's right, we all paid cyan crystals."

"At least Shop Owner Moh should give us an explanation."

...

"Boom!" At first, everyone was just shouting, but later, some people simply unleashed their magical treasures to attack the defensive formation of the Mortal Pill Shop.

"Wait..." Lou Si cried anxiously, "Our shop owner is currently in seclusion and cannot be interrupted. If you feel you have paid cyan crystals, I can refund them to you."

Lou Si knew that at this moment, she couldn't let anyone attack the shop.

As she spoke, several more beams of magical treasures slammed into the protective formation, causing it to shake violently.

The protective formation of the Mortal Pill Shop was divided into two layers. The first layer was the protective formation that came with the Celestial Market Prefecture. This protective formation was very low-level, and it shook violently after a few attacks. The second layer was the Grade-7 protective formation that Moh Wuji had set up himself. This type of protective formation had a trapping and killing effect, and once attacked, it would pull the attacker in.

"We've waited for so long, who cares if you refund our cyan crystals? If you're going to refund, you have to double it, otherwise give us our pills."

"That's right, who cares if you refund our cyan crystals."

"Boom boom boom boom!" Lou Si's words provoked even more violent attacks.

The protective formation outside the Mortal Pill Shop was already low-level to begin with. When dozens of attacks landed on it, it made a loud cracking sound, and the protective formation outside the Mortal Pill Shop was directly torn apart.

In her anxiety, Lou Si was about to forcibly wake Moh Wuji when a powerful aura enveloped everything, and a cold snort reached everyone's ears, "Who dares to cause trouble in my Mortal Pill Shop?"

Everyone felt as if the entire world was collapsing, suppressing their minds, and their spiritual will could not be extended at this moment.

An Immortal Emperor expert? That's right, definitely an Immortal Emperor expert. Where else could such a terrifying aura come from?

"Protector Kuang..." Lou Si cried out in surprise when she saw a cultivator walking through the crowd. She immediately realized that Kuang Jin had successfully proven his Dao and become a true Immortal Emperor expert.

"Junior Sister Lou, I don't like the title of Protector, just call me Senior Brother. What exactly is going on here?" Although it had only been a little over a month, Kuang Jin's words had gained a kind of innate confidence and momentum.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother, on proving your Dao and reaching the Emperor Realm," Lou Si quickly bowed and paid her respects. No matter how humble Kuang Jin was, she, a mere Immortal King, dared not be careless in front of an Immortal Emperor.

Kuang Jin nodded. Although he had entered the Immortal Emperor Realm for over half a month, he still couldn't suppress the joy in his heart from achieving his Dao.

This was the feeling of looking down on all the mountains after countless years of pursuit and finally reaching the top.

Lou Si quickly explained, "Brother Moh suddenly went into seclusion half a month ago. In the past half a month, our Mortal Pill Shop hasn't sent out any immortal pills. These people all pre-ordered immortal pills for transactions."

Kuang Jin instantly understood what was happening. He immediately cupped his fists and said, "Everyone, please wait a moment, I'll go ask the shop owner."

"Wait, Senior Brother Kuang..." Lou Si quickly stopped Kuang Jin, "Brother Moh is in seclusion and enlightenment. I'm worried that interrupting him will have a big impact on him."

Kuang Jin frowned slightly. After proving his Dao and becoming an Immortal Emperor, he had a sense of being high above the world, a feeling that came innately with the Immortal Emperor Realm. Because of this, he hadn't even thought about why Moh Wuji hadn't come out.

Lou Si's words reminded him that he was still Moh Wuji's subordinate. Kuang Jin took a deep breath. Although following a Grade-9 Pill Emperor wasn't too shameful, he was still an Immortal Emperor.

Fortunately, he had only promised for a hundred years. And he had said when he swore that he would keep his promise as long as it didn't affect his life or his Dao. If Moh Wuji affected his Dao, he could still leave.

The thought of swearing an oath to an Immortal Reverent and following him around made Kuang Jin feel a little uneasy. But since he had sworn an oath, Kuang Jin would abide by it. A mere hundred years was just a single seclusion for him.

"Immortal friends, Shop Owner Moh is still in seclusion. Everyone can rest assured that Shop Owner Moh won't let anyone who has paid cyan crystals in the Mortal Pill Shop leave empty-handed. If anyone causes trouble here, don't blame me, Kuang Jin, for being rude." As he spoke, Kuang Jin's Immortal Emperor aura spread out, and several cultivators who were too close and had weaker cultivation bases spat out a mouthful of blood under the pressure of this aura.

Lou Si sighed. She didn't know Kuang Jin well, and she felt that Kuang Jin's method was not advisable. After all, these people were here to seek pills and had paid cyan crystals. Kuang Jin shouldn't suppress others with his cultivation aura. The Mortal Pill Shop had built its reputation on word of mouth.

"Then can I get a refund for my cyan crystals?" someone in the crowd shouted.

Which cultivator who came here hadn't come out of a sea of corpses and blood? When Kuang Jin's aura spread out, many people felt it. Kuang Jin was already an Immortal Emperor.

With an Immortal Emperor in the Mortal Pill Shop, no one dared to cause trouble.

"No..."

Kuang Jin had just said two words when he heard Lou Si say, "Yes, every immortal friend who wants a refund will receive two extra cyan crystals as compensation. Please take your queue numbers and come over in order."

Lou Si finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just when she thought Kuang Jin's attitude was too harsh, she received Moh Wuji's voice transmission.

Moh Wuji's expression was calm. He had just deduced a new divine ability, the Divine Split. This meant he could split his spiritual will into two, and these two wills could independently refine two furnaces of immortal pills. Not only that, but the split spiritual will could even control two different divine abilities at the same time.

He felt no joy. He had seen Kuang Jin's attitude. After advancing to Immortal Emperor, he felt that following him was beneath him. He had originally planned to rely on Kuang Jin to stay here for another month, but Moh Wuji temporarily changed his plans. He decided to finish refining these orders and leave the market immediately.
