"Master Alchemist Mo!" The person in charge of the Enforcement Hall hurried forward to greet Mo Wuji upon seeing him arrive.

Even a guest alchemist held an extraordinary position within the sect. Moreover, everyone present was a cultivator, and who could be certain they wouldn't need to seek an alchemist for pill refinement?

Not to mention that several more alchemists had left the sect after the Unblemished Sword Mountain incident. This Master Alchemist Mo was also favored by Master Alchemist Yin, so befriending him could only be beneficial. If not for the lack of a proper excuse, many would have proactively sought him out.

"May I inquire as to this esteemed enforcer's name?" Mo Wuji said politely, knowing that while the Enforcement Hall was often imposing, the primary cause lay not within the Hall itself, but with those instructing it.

The person in charge quickly replied, "Master Alchemist Mo may simply call me Gong Qian. I trust Master Alchemist Mo's visit to the Enforcement Hall has not been met with any negligence."

From Gong Qian's attitude, Mo Wuji deduced that this person was neither the Hall Master nor a high-ranking enforcer. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so courteous. The Enforcement Hall Master held the status of an elder, to whom even Mo Wuji would have to pay respects.

"Brother Gong is too kind. I do indeed have a matter that requires troubling the Enforcement Hall Master. A distant relative of mine has been brought to the Enforcement Hall, and I've come specifically to request the Hall Master's leniency. I would appreciate Brother Gong relaying my request." Mo Wuji spoke amiably.

Mo Wuji was certain the Enforcement Hall Master wouldn't know about such a trivial matter, so he immediately stated his intention to see the Hall Master. He was also sure Gong Qian wouldn't bother informing the Hall Master, or even letting him know about the situation.

Upon hearing that Mo Wuji was here to inquire about someone's detention, Gong Qian promptly asked, "May I ask who this distant relative of Master Alchemist Mo is?"

"Fei Bingzhu, a disciple who dispenses medicine in the spirit herb chamber," Mo Wuji said calmly.

Gong Qian was immediately dumbfounded. Fei Bingzhu was the very person he had arrested because he had offended the medicine boy of Alchemist Qu. However, after arresting Fei Bingzhu, Alchemist Qu had left Unblemished Sword Sect to attend an alchemist exchange meeting, so he hadn't received any further instructions from Alchemist Qu.

He hadn't expected Fei Bingzhu to have ties to Master Alchemist Mo. He wasn't yet sure whether Alchemist Qu knew about this, and if Alchemist Qu did, he'd rather offend Master Alchemist Mo than Alchemist Qu. But if it was just the medicine boy causing trouble, offending the Master Alchemist Mo before him would be a great loss.

"What? Is it difficult to request a meeting with the Enforcement Hall Master?" Mo Wuji's voice turned slightly cold.

"No, no, not at all." Although Gong Qian wasn't afraid of Mo Wuji directly, he knew the alchemist Yin who was close to Mo Wuji wasn't someone to trifle with.

Regardless, he would release Fei Bingzhu first. If Alchemist Qu really inquired about the matter, he would place all the blame on this Mo. If Alchemist Qu didn't ask, he would pretend nothing had happened.

With that thought, Gong Qian hastily said, "Alchemist Qu's medicine boy reported that Junior Brother Fei had dispensed the wrong medicine, so I had him detained. I don't have Alchemist Qu's permission to release him…"

Mo Wuji said indifferently, "If anyone asks, just say Mo Wuji took him away. If there are any issues, they can come find Mo Wuji."

Gong Qian had been waiting for Mo Wuji to say those words. Now that Mo Wuji had said them, he went to the prison almost without hesitation and brought Fei Bingzhu out.

Fei Bingzhu was covered in purple bruises and his hair was disheveled, showing that he had suffered greatly. Just as he wondered why he was suddenly being led out of the prison, he saw Mo Wuji.

Everything became clear. Fei Bingzhu quickly moved forward to express his gratitude, but Mo Wuji stopped him. He merely clasped his fist at Gong Qian and quickly left with Fei Bingzhu.

…

Half an hour later, after returning to Lotus Sword Peak, cleaning up, and eating something, Fei Bingzhu regained some of his spirit.

"Senior Brother Mo, if it weren't for you this time, I would have been doomed. That medicine boy with the surname Qu is too cruel. Just a word from him, and he wanted me dead. Fortunately, the one with the surname Qu went with Alchemist Yin to attend the alchemist exchange meeting, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to wait until today." Having recovered some of his strength, Fei Bingzhu quickly thanked Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji inquired about the reason and, as Wu Rongzhi had said, it was just because Fei Bingzhu had spoken up for him. Moreover, he had never belittled Alchemist Qu in any way, yet Alchemist Qu's medicine boy had found an excuse to bring him to the Enforcement Hall.

"Junior Brother Fei, if you don't mind, you can stay at my Lotus Sword Peak from now on." Mo Wuji knew Fei Bingzhu had nowhere else to go.

Fei Bingzhu was a good person, and Mo Wuji didn't mind taking him in, even helping him out.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Mo, for taking me in. I've been dispensing spirit herbs for many years and have some understanding of various spirit herbs. If Master Alchemist Mo needs a medicine boy, I might be able to help." Fei Bingzhu knew Mo Wuji didn't like him saying too many words of gratitude.

Mo Wuji laughed, "I really do need Junior Brother Fei's help. Does Junior Brother Fei know anything about Precious Blood Lotus and Guan Li?"

Hearing Mo Wuji inquire about Guan Li and Precious Blood Lotus, Fei Bingzhu immediately said, "Senior Brother Mo, I'm not bragging, but I'm probably the one in Unblemished Sword Sect who knows the most about Elder Guan."

Seeing Mo Wuji looking at him in confusion, Fei Bingzhu continued, "Because my grandfather helped Elder Guan cultivate Precious Blood Lotus for decades. Later, when Elder Guan left, he arranged for my grandfather to go to the place where spirit herbs were dispensed. The reason I was able to dispense medicine in the spirit herb warehouse was because of my grandfather. After my grandfather passed away, I asked the sect to transfer the dispensing work to me."

Hearing Fei Bingzhu's words, Mo Wuji's spirits rose greatly, and he quickly asked, "Junior Brother Fei, I urgently need Precious Blood Lotus now, but I can't buy this spirit herb in any of the major commercial buildings…"

Fei Bingzhu said before Mo Wuji could finish, "It's normal that you can't buy it. It would be abnormal if you could buy it. Although Precious Blood Lotus is a grade three spirit herb, its value is even more precious than grade four spirit herbs. The main reason is that Precious Blood Lotus can be used to refine many pills that are beneficial to the spiritual channels. Besides, Precious Blood Lotus is an extremely delicious ingredient. Not only is it delicious, but it can also nourish the face, enhance qi and blood, and beautify the face. Many sects are seeking to buy this thing, and the price is getting higher and higher. It can be said that as soon as Precious Blood Lotus comes out, it is snatched away. It doesn't even wait for the market to sell it."

Mo Wuji sighed inwardly. No wonder he couldn't buy Precious Blood Lotus. It turned out that this thing could not only be refined into pills related to the spiritual channels, but it was also a dish on the tables of the rich and something that nourishes the face.

For any cultivator, the spiritual channels are the most important thing. With the same spiritual roots, the more spiritual channels one opens up, the greater one's potential will be. Precious Blood Lotus is related to the spiritual channels, so its value naturally rises.

Just like him looking for Precious Blood Lotus, it was also for the sake of opening up the meridians.

"Moreover, this is not the main reason that makes Precious Blood Lotus scarce. The main reason Precious Blood Lotus is scarce, besides being extremely difficult to cultivate, is that it absorbs too much spiritual energy. In any place with abundant spiritual energy, as long as Precious Blood Lotus is cultivated, after many years, the spiritual energy there will become scarce, and this kind of spiritual energy scarcity is extremely difficult to restore." Fei Bingzhu obviously knew a lot about Precious Blood Lotus.

"Junior Brother Fei, I want to cultivate Precious Blood Lotus. Do you know where I can get the seeds?" Mo Wuji asked calmly.

Fei Bingzhu shook his head, "Precious Blood Lotus seeds cannot be bought…"

Hearing these words, Mo Wuji felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him, chilling him to the bone.

But Fei Bingzhu continued, "However, Lotus Sword Peak has a way to get Precious Blood Lotus seeds…"

"Quickly tell me…" Mo Wuji stood up excitedly and grabbed Fei Bingzhu.

Fei Bingzhu quickly said, "Senior Brother Mo, don't worry, my grandfather once told me. After Elder Guan left, he didn't dig up all the Precious Blood Lotus plants on Lotus Sword Peak, but left a little lotus root in the middle of the lake. This lotus root needs someone who is proficient in Precious Blood Lotus to find it, and I happen to be proficient in the habits of Precious Blood Lotus. Although I have never cultivated Precious Blood Lotus myself, my grandfather passed on all his experience in this area to me.

If Senior Brother Mo believes me, I can now go to the lake to look for the remaining lotus roots. However, the spiritual energy here is scarce, so we can't cultivate too much."

Mo Wuji slapped Fei Bingzhu, "Being able to cultivate some is enough, the amount doesn't matter. Bingzhu, please help me with this matter."

After eating, Mo Wuji was also in high spirits. Good deeds are rewarded. If he hadn't saved Fei Bingzhu, where would he have gotten the news about the Precious Blood Lotus? Even if he couldn't find the Precious Blood Lotus on Lotus Sword Peak, as long as Fei Bingzhu was proficient in the habits of Precious Blood Lotus, he would eventually be able to find the Precious Blood Lotus elsewhere.
