The shop assistant didn’t take long to react as he smiled and said to Mo Wuji, ”Pill master please hold on while I report this.”

The shop assistant rushed inside the pill house and within two minutes, a bald man hurried out with this shop assistant.

”Dao friend, may I ask if you are the pill master who is here to deliver pills to the Nine Moons Pill House?” The man cupped his fist and asked Mo Wuji the moment he stepped out of the pill house.

Mo Wuji nodded his head and asked with a trace of suspicion, ”I am indeed here to deliver pills. I promised the Nine Moons Pill House some Gold Forming Pills and I am specially here to pass these pills to them. May I know who are you?”

”I am Kang Huapei, the shopkeeper of this Jian Ting Pill House. Dao friend, please proceed in with me,” The bald man invited him with a face full of smiles.

”Sure, shopkeeper Kang please lead the way,” Mo Wuji did not mind heading in as he extended his arm.

Kang Huapei immediately brought Mo Wuji to the guest room on the second level and got someone to make a pot of spiritual tea before saying, ”I have yet to inquire this pill master’s origin and how do i address you?”

Mo Wuji shook his hand and said, ”When I was working with Nine Moons Pill House’s shopkeeper, we never bothered about these formalities. I would like to trouble you to tell me where Nine Moons Pill House went and I will head towards there myself.”

Kang Huapei said awkwardly, ”If I don’t know this pill master’s origins, I don’t know what else I could reveal to you.”

Mo Wuji frowned momentarily, ”I am merely a rogue cultivator and I have no extraordinary origins. It was through mere coincidence that I managed to befriend the shopkeeper of Nine Moons Pill House and then helped him to refine pills while he helped me in collecting spiritual herbs. As for the Gold Forming Pills, it was only after I had promised Nine Moons Pill House to give them that I managed to get my hands on it from elsewhere.”

After hearing Mo Wuji, Kang Huapei maintained his smile and said, ”The person in charge of the Nine Moons Pill House here had offended someone else and was worried the other party might cause trouble. So he transferred this pill house to my young master instead.”

In fact, when he heard that Mo Wuji’s Gold Forming Pills were retrieved from somewhere else, he began to truly believe Mo Wuji’s words. If Mo Wuji were to say that he concocted them himself, he would never believe him.

”Who did he offend?” Mo Wuji hurried to ask this.

”It is the Yu Lin Lei Clan, a person called Lei Hongji from the Yu Lin Lei Clan,” Kang Huapei said with a faint voice and even took a sip of tea after finishing his sentence. After realising that the Gold Forming Pills were not concocted by Mo Wuji himself, he began to take things more lightly.

Yu Lin Lei Clan was previously only a low grade family clan and was considered to be nothing significant among all the other sects. However, after the appearance of the Lei Hongji, the Yu Lin Lei Clan naturally soared above the rest. One had to note that Lei Hongji was a top grade genius from the Great Evolution Sect and even had supreme grade lightning affinity spiritual roots. Putting these aside, there were even rumours that he had been selected to go to the Zhen Mo Continent.

Mo Wuji looked at Kang Huapei’s attitude and he knew that the news of complete annihilation of the Yu Lin Lei Clan had not spread to him here.

”Who is your young master?” Mo Wuji asked yet again.

”Quasi-Heaven sect, Jade Net Sect’s legacy disciple He Jianting. Even though our young master did not have lightning affinity spiritual roots, he has a body tempering lightning technique which would increase his odds of victory when battling others,” Kang Huapei said proudly.

Mo Wuji instantly remembered the previous time when he met He Jianting from Jade Net Sect. He Jianting asked and offered him spirit stones to let him use the lightning tempering room but was completely ignored by Mo Wuji and from then on, Mo Wuji had offended him. This He Jianting was rather decent looking but slightly arrogant.

Mo Wuji understood the situation very swiftly. Lei Clan must have found out about his relations with Nine Moons Pill House's Zhen Shaoke and was constantly finding trouble with the Nine Moons Pill House. This He Jianting then decided to fish in troubled waters and took over Nine Moons Pill House.

”Shopkeeper Kang, this place was not transferred voluntarily to He Jianting from the Nine Moons Pill House right? Could it be that the Lei Clan handed it to you guys after they took over this place forcefully from the Nine Moons Pill House?” Mo Wuji said while maintaining his composure.

Kang Huapei laughed, ”What’s the difference, what’s the difference? My friend here is a pill refiner and we are a pill house so if you could work with Nine Moons Pill House, I am sure it’s the same working with us. We are coincidentally in need of a Gold Forming Pill so why don’t you leave this pill here for us to help you sell? What do you think?”

Mo Wuji stood up, ”Since I’ve agreed with Nine Moons Pill House, we shall discuss further after I find the Nine Moons Pill House.”

Noticing Mo Wuji stood up, Kang Huapei stood up as well to prevent Mo Wuji from leaving, ”I already said that we could purchase your Gold Forming Pill from you and yet you still insist on leaving. Are you looking down on us, Jian Ting Pill House?”

Mo Wuji laughed coldly as after this fella found out that he was a rogue cultivator, he was envious of Mo Wuji for having the Gold Forming Pill and was intending to purchase it forcefully.

”It’s not that I look down on Jian Ting Pill House but it’s because this Gold Forming Pill was concocted with my own spiritual herbs. After arriving here, Nine Moons Pill House was going to give me the Gold Sun Fruit to concoct the Gold Forming Pill in exchange for it,” Mo Wuji said faintly.

The concocting of spiritual herbs of the Gold Forming Pill was the hardest because the Gold Sun Fruit was not something human beings could nurture; it had to be grown in the wild. Such rare herbs that were grown in the wild would always be sought after by everyone no matter how many there were in existence.

Therefore, the Gold Sun Fruit was actually very valuable and was worth even more than some Tier 6 or 7 spiritual herbs.
