Chapter 56: Expensive Drug Refining Equipment
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor:
With two stunned waiters looking at them, Mo Wuji and Shen Ling gobbled down a table full of dishes. The waiters’ gaze soon changed to one of reverence, and they looked on as Mo Wuji and Shen Ling left.
Those waiters had met men who had large appetites in the past, but never before was there a woman who could eat that much too. Not only did she have a big appetite, but more importantly she also possessed a level of beauty that neither waiter had seen before. Such a gorgeous woman wolfing down a table of dishes was the complete opposite of what they had expected.
“Senior apprentice sister Shen, since you have already had your fill, how about you head back first. I’ll go attend to some issues.” Mo Wuji urgently wanted to shake Shen Lian off before going to buy medicinal ingredients and drug refining equipment.
Shen Lian was still wary of Mo Wuji when she initially interacted with him, but now after a meal together and a long discussion about cultivation, she felt more familiar with him. Shen Lian threw that bit of caution to the wind. “I have nothing to do back at the apartment and was planning to go shopping anyway. What are you going to buy? Perhaps I can give you some suggestions.”
It became apparent that he would not be able to get rid of this nuisance. Mo Wuji had no choice but to reveal his plan, “I intend to go to buy some equipment for refining drugs. Why would I need you to tag along for that?”
“You are going to buy a pill furnace? How does one who has not even started cultivating buy a pill furnace?” Shen Ling asking in a surprised tone.
Mo Wuji explained himself, “I’m not going to buy a pill furnace, only some normal equipment for refining drugs to try my luck on the path of a drug refiner. You’re also aware of my lack of talent in cultivating. If I can become a drug refiner, even if I fail to cultivate, I’ll still be able to earn a living.”
Shen Lian nodded empathetically, “You’re not wrong, but there’s no future for a drug refiner. If there’s something that’s worth learning, it would be the skills of a pill refiner.”
“Will you teach me pill refining techniques? If you’re willing to, then I won’t mind learning how to refine pills,” snorted Mo Wuji.
Awkwardly, Shen Lian replied, “There’s too much investment required to become a pill refiner. Since you can’t cultivate, it’ll still be better for you to learn the ways of a drug refiner.” How could she not know how hard it was to train in pill refining when her own father was a pill refiner?
Realising that her suggestions were not that realistic, Shen Lian added on, “In the whole of Chang Luo City, Xing He Pill Pavilion has the best pill furnaces. Not only are the pills there top notch, but they also make the highest quality pill furnaces. But my recommendation is for you to go to Luo Hai Merchant House. Even though their pill furnaces are not as good as those at Xing He Pill Pavilion, but their drug refining equipment is the best in the whole Xing He Empire.”
“Let’s go to Luo Hai Merchant House then.” Mo Wuji said without hesitation.
He was not going to refine pills anyway, and what’s more was that he knew Luo Hai Merchant House pretty well.
…
“Sir, what are you looking for today? I’ll definitely show you the highest quality goods with the lowest prices.” Mo Wuji immediately found the shop assistant that sold him the .
“Do you have any immortal grade drug refining equipment, something on the same level as the ?” Mo Wuji said while patting the assistant’s shoulders.
The shop assistant felt rather embarrassed. He had tricked Mo Wuji into buying themanual, and now Mo Wuji brought it up, obviously reminding him not to fool him with something similar.
“Kekeke…” a crisp laugh came from the side, as she heard Mo Wuji praise the , she could not hold it in any longer. It was one thing to skillfully package the , a book that could be found everywhere, as the , but it was another to describe it as a top notch technique. What a joke.
Mo Wuji turned around to see two women, one of which he recognised. Qu Wan’Er, the woman he had met on the ship, was the last person he expected to meet here.
“So it’s senior Qu. Thanks for helping me diffuse the situation on the ship.” Mo Wuji greeted her with a heart full of gratitude.
Slightly embarrassed, Qu Wan’Er replied, “Sorry about that, my friend was not intentionally laughing at you.” However, it was apparent that it was Qu Wan’Er’s friend who laughed.
After Qu Wan’Er finished speaking, she instinctively took a glance at Shen Lian. She could not understand why Shen Lian, someone who appeared to be a cultivator, would hang around Mo Wuji, who had only mortal roots.
