Chapter 996: Shi Caihe's Investigation

师采和? Mo Wuji was very puzzled. Who was this Shi Caihe? He didn't know her at all.

Hearing the name Shi Caihe, Xi Lingruo's face showed a look of surprise. Seeing Mo Wuji's expression, he knew that Mo Wuji didn't know Shi Caihe, and quickly said, "Wuji, Shi Caihe is one of the top Divine Pill Kings of Nirvana Academy, with the strength of the seventh level of the Divine King. He is also a famous figure in the entire Divine Continent."

"But I've never heard of this person. What is he looking for me for? And how does he know my surname is Mo?" Mo Wuji was very puzzled. He only assessed a fourth-grade Grand Divine Pill Master in the Pill Dao Honor Tower, which was still a far cry from a Divine Pill King.

Not many people knew that his name was Mo Wuji, and even fewer people knew it after coming to Nirvana Dao City. If Shi Caihe had investigated him, he didn't quite believe it. He had only been here from the fighting arena for a short time. Even if Xi Lingruo wanted to investigate him, he couldn't start in such a short time.

Xi Lingruo seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed. He then apologized to Mo Wuji, "It's because of me."

Mo Wuji immediately understood. He said to Xi Lingruo, "It's not your fault. Moreover, that sentence of his revealed a lot of information to me. I'll go out now, open the restriction, and invite him in to see what's going on."

At this moment, Mo Wuji understood that it must have been at the Nirvana Dao City Mission Guild, when Shi Caihe heard Xi Lingruo greeting him. Fortunately, he and Xi Lingruo used a soundproof restriction during their conversation later.

From this, it could be seen that Shi Caihe had been following him, otherwise he wouldn't have noticed the conversation between Xi Lingruo and him. Pushing further back, he could know that Shi Caihe had watched his performance in the fighting arena and then followed him to the guild.

After Mo Wuji deduced these things, he felt a chill down his spine. He didn't pass the assessment of the fifth-grade Divine Pill King in the Pill Dao Honor Tower. Shi Caihe was following him, obviously following him from the Pill Dao Honor Tower.

This guy, a late-stage Divine King, and also a top-level fifth-grade Divine Pill King, following a Yu God cultivator like him for a day, couldn't help but make Mo Wuji worried.

Since a strong person like Shi Caihe was coming, Mo Wuji naturally had to greet him. To show his respect, he couldn't use his divine sense to scan Shi Caihe in advance.

After Mo Wuji opened the restriction, he found that the person standing at the door was a very young man. What surprised Mo Wuji even more was that this young man was missing his right arm.

A late-stage Divine King, and also a top-level fifth-grade Divine Pill King, missing an arm was indeed a bit strange.

"Pill Master Mo, Shi Caihe from the Nirvana Academy's Pill Sea is here uninvited. I wonder if I'm disturbing you?" Shi Caihe said with a smile, his tone extremely warm and kind.

Mo Wuji thought to himself, 'You're still calling it uninvited? You've been stalking me all day, okay?' However, Mo Wuji was sure that the other party had no malice. If he had any malice, he wouldn't have felt any sense of it after stalking him for a day.

"Of course not. It's an honor for Senior Shi to visit. In front of a senior, I dare not call myself a Pill Master. Senior, please just call me by my name, Mo Wuji." Shi Caihe had repeatedly mentioned his name twice, so Mo Wuji naturally had to give his name as well.

Xi Lingruo also cupped his fists on the side and said, "Xi Lingruo from the Little Lingxiao Sect greets Daoist Shi."

Shi Caihe also cupped his fists and said, "I've long admired Sect Leader Xi's great name. Meeting you today, it's indeed well-deserved."

After a few polite words, they followed Mo Wuji into the room.

Mo Wuji was sure that Chi Bing also knew about Shi Caihe's arrival. Since Chi Bing didn't come out, Mo Wuji didn't call her either.

After Mo Wuji poured a few cups of Divine Spirit Tea, Shi Caihe smiled and said, "Wuji, speaking of which, I helped you today."

Shi Caihe didn't stand on ceremony with Mo Wuji and directly called him by his name.

Seeing Mo Wuji looking at him with a puzzled expression, Shi Caihe continued, "One of the Divine King Law Enforcers wanted to take you away, but I casually told him something, and he gave me face."

Mo Wuji's heart sank. He thought that his crystal ball had solved the problem, but it seemed that the problem was far more serious than he thought. Even if Shi Caihe didn't continue to speak, Mo Wuji knew that the green-robed Divine King who wanted to take him away must have colluded with the Rogue Cultivator Alliance.

If he was taken away, one could imagine his tragic fate. What was the use of having a crystal ball? They could even get rid of his bones.

Mo Wuji stood up and bowed deeply to Shi Caihe, "Thank you, Senior, for your life-saving grace."

Shi Caihe waved his hand, "Life-saving grace is an overstatement. With Sect Leader Xi here, they wouldn't dare to forcibly take you away, but it would just offend a few more people and require some explanation."

Shi Caihe wasn't lying. It depended on Xi Lingruo's position. If Xi Lingruo tried his best to protect Mo Wuji, then even a mid-stage Divine King couldn't take Mo Wuji away. If Xi Lingruo hesitated and didn't dare to offend the Divine Kings of Nirvana Dao City, Mo Wuji would definitely be taken away.

As for whether Xi Lingruo would offend the Divine Kings of Nirvana Dao City to help him, Mo Wuji wasn't very sure. After all, this matter was no small matter to Xi Lingruo. Once he offended the Divine Kings of Nirvana Dao City, if he couldn't completely overthrow them, the Little Lingxiao Sect would have a difficult time in the future. So, in any case, Mo Wuji's gratitude to Shi Caihe was from the bottom of his heart.

"Senior, if you have any instructions, as long as I can do it, I will obey." Although he was grateful to Shi Caihe, Mo Wuji was still thinking about why Shi Caihe had been following him for a day.

Shi Caihe nodded, motioned for Mo Wuji to sit down, and then said, "Your Dao techniques are very powerful. I estimate that even if you're not invincible at the same level, there won't be many who can defeat you at the Yu God stage."

Mo Wuji sighed inwardly. This guy had indeed been following him for a day. What was the reason that made Shi Caihe follow him for a day? His pill refining process...

Mo Wuji's heart shook, and he finally thought of the reason. The other party noticed him, obviously watching his entire pill refining performance. The pills he refined were average, but his extraction of Divine Spirit Grass was definitely top-notch. Not only that, but his pill refining speed was too fast. Even if he deliberately delayed a little time, his pill refining speed was definitely not comparable to ordinary Pill Masters.

Understanding why Shi Caihe was following him, Mo Wuji was relieved instead. A fast pill refining speed wasn't a big deal, at most it just meant his divine sense was stronger. After all, he wasn't refining fifth-grade Divine Pills, but all fourth-grade and below Divine Pills.

After Mo Wuji sat down, he said very seriously, "I guess it's because I have a solid foundation. I've been stuck at the Yu God stage for a long time."

If Xi Lingruo and Shi Caihe knew that Mo Wuji's so-called "stuck for a long time" was ten or twenty years, they would definitely stand up and spit on Mo Wuji's face. Then they would point at Mo Wuji's nose and scold, "Can you装逼 in a different way?"

Fortunately, Shi Caihe only knew that Mo Wuji was very young, and Mo Wuji's Mortal Dao was just beginning, and the Immortal World was forming. It was impossible to tell Mo Wuji's age just by looking with the naked eye.

Shi Caihe nodded, his tone somewhat sincere as he said, "Wuji, can I be so bold as to ask you, what kind of cultivation technique are you practicing?"

This time, Mo Wuji didn't hide it. The Immortal Mortal Art originated from Nirvana Academy. He came here for the Mortal Land, so there was nothing to hide.

"I'm practicing the Immortal Mortal Art. I want to enter Nirvana Academy this time to see the Mortal Land." Mo Wuji replied respectfully.

Hearing that Mo Wuji was practicing the Immortal Mortal Art, a stone fell from Shi Caihe's heart. In fact, after following Mo Wuji for a day, he had a very good impression of Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji fought on the fighting stage for a day, and he didn't kill anyone in twenty-nine consecutive victories. It wasn't until the big man with a face full of horizontal flesh wanted to kill Mo Wuji that Mo Wuji took action. It could be seen that Mo Wuji was not a bloodthirsty person. Shi Caihe's first rule for refining pills for others was not to refine pills for bloodthirsty people.

His arm was cut off by a Divine King Completion expert back then. Because the other party was too bloodthirsty, he refused to refine pills for him, which led to his arm being cut off.

If Mo Wuji was really a descendant of Geng He Pill Dao, one could imagine Mo Wuji's miserable fate. With Jian Sha under Dan Hai, he, Shi Caihe, couldn't save Mo Wuji either.

Mo Wuji clearly felt that Shi Caihe's attitude towards him became even gentler after he said that he was practicing the Immortal Mortal Art.

"I wonder if Wuji can let me see the cultivation technique you're practicing?" Shi Caihe said kindly.

Mo Wuji didn't hesitate at all and took out the Tianji Sect's Immortal Mortal Art. For others, asking to see the other party's cultivation technique would be a provocation. But Mo Wuji knew that Shi Caihe's tone was very sincere. He really wanted to see the technique for the sake of seeing the technique.

Shi Caihe excitedly took the Immortal Mortal Art. He opened the first page, and the familiar handwriting appeared before his eyes.

"The heaven and earth were opened up first, and then there was vitality. This is a great fallacy. Spiritual energy and heaven and earth were conceived at the same time, born together. Those who have not attained the Dao position are all mortals. We mortals condense vitality and achieve longevity..."

"As expected, it was left behind by Emperor Zhong. That's right, you are indeed practicing the Immortal Mortal Art. You have a good opportunity. You actually obtained the Immortal Mortal Art written by Emperor Zhong himself..." Shi Caihe closed the book and returned it to Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji didn't offer to give the book to Shi Caihe. He hadn't even opened the back of the book. Because later on, his Immortal Mortal Art was completely different from this book, and it could be said that they were vastly different. If Shi Caihe continued to flip through it, he would definitely notice something was wrong.

He didn't know why Shi Caihe wanted to investigate whether he was practicing the Immortal Mortal Art, so he thought it was better to avoid trouble if he could.

Seeing Mo Wuji carefully and respectfully put away the Immortal Mortal Art, Shi Caihe nodded and casually asked, "Wuji, have you ever heard of Geng He Pill Dao?"

Mo Wuji shook his head blankly, "Is Geng He Pill Dao very powerful? I haven't heard of it."
