Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
”I believe that with Pill Master Mo's talent, it wouldn't take many years for you to become a Tier 7 Pill Emperor. I also know that my request is crossing the line; I don't have the Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit but yet I still wanted Pill Master Mo to help me concoct a batch of Draining Immortal King Pills. However, I do have something to offer; I can tell you a secret of the Great Desolate Sea Domain. If they know of that place, even Immortal Emperors would personally come and fight for it,” Han Long spoke in a solemn tone.
Mo Wuji had an indifferent expression on his face; he didn't respond to Han Long's words. Only when it was in his hands, then could it be considered a secret. If it wasn't in his hands, then it was simply an unknown. Thus, he wasn't very enthusiastic about Han Long's suggestion; he even wanted to send her off.
Han Long could clearly see Mo Wuji's indifference. Before Mo Wuji could even express his idea of sending her out, she hurriedly added, ”Pill Master Mo, you shouldn't know the current value of a Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit, right? Due to some unknown reason in the Immortal World, all the Draining Immortal King Dao Fruits that were grown by cultivators suddenly withered. Only wild Draining Immortal King Dao Fruits could survive. However, how many wild Draining Immortal King Dao Fruits are there? So after knowing that you have many Draining Immortal King Dao Fruits on you, there are already countless of people that have their eyes on you.”
”There's no need for you to remind me. I also know that I'm in a precarious position,” Mo Wuji furrowed his brows and said, his tone was still indifferent. Previously, he did overlook and forget that he had the Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit. If he remembered it previously, perhaps he wouldn't have come to the Cape of Peace.
Han Long did not seem to mind Mo Wuji's attitude and she continued, ”In the Great Desolate Sea Domain, there's a land of immortal herbs that has yet to be opened. It's said that it's even more abundant than Yunxian Immortal Valley. Moreover, I even know that there's a Emperor Dao Fruit...”
When she mentioned the Emperor Dao Fruit, Han Long paid special attention to Mo Wuji's expression. She believes that anyone would be emotional if they heard of the Emperor Dao Fruit, much less a pill refiner like Mo Wuji.
To her disappointment, Mo Wuji didn't even raise an eyebrow. Clearly, he didn't really care much about Han Long's words.
Mo Wuji naturally didn't care about it, he already had one Emperor Dao Fruit and that thing wasn't even useful to him at this time. Why would he need so many Emperor Dao Fruit?
”I'm not interested.” Mo Wuji shook his head. At this moment, he was thinking about how he should hide from Grand Emperor Lun Cai. It wasn't safe in the Cape of Peace, nor did he want to leave with any other people.
”I can introduce someone to protect you. Even Grand Emperor Lun Cai wouldn't dare to do anything to you.” When Han Long saw that Mo Wuji wasn't even interested in the Emperor Dao Fruit, she decided to make one final attempt.
Mo Wuji looked at Han Long doubtfully; was this woman mad, would such an expert who wouldn't even fear Grand Emperor Lun Cai want to protect a Grand Yi Immortal like him?
When Han Long saw a hint of interest flash across Mo Wuji's eyes, she began to speak even more spiritedly, ”The person I'm introducing is Zhuo Pingan. I believe that since you've come here, you would definitely know about Zhuo Pingan, right?
Before this, Mo Wuji really didn't know a thing about Zhuo Pingan. But after Gai Guangyi's introduction, he did know a bit about that fella. He's the one in control of the Cape of Peace, the owner of Peace Resthouse and the unscrupulous money maker. Mo Wuji guessed that this fella's strength must be exceedingly high.
”Why would he want to protect me?” Mo Wuji did not think that his mere status as a Tier 6 Pill King would earn the protection if an expert like Zhuo Pingan.
Han Long said enigmatically, ”Because Zhuo Pingan needs a Pill Emperor to concoct pills for him, and the Pill Emperor who concocts pills for him would change every other decade. Think about it, how many Pill Emperors are there in all seven Immortal Domains combined? If he changes a Pill Emperor every decade, then no number of Pill Emperor would be enough. So if you can become a Tier 7 Pill Emperor…”
Before Han Long could finish speaking, Mo Wuji's eyes turned cold. Han Long could clearly feel the iciness in Mo Wuji's eyes and she subconsciously stopped talking.
Mo Wuji said coldly, ”Dao Friend Han Long, we have no grudges or enmity between us so why must you try to harm me?”
Han Long looked at Mo Wuji in doubt; when did she try to harm him?
Mo Wuji could see Han Long's confusion and his tone momentarily eased, ”Since Zhuo Pingan needs to change a Pill Emperor every other decade, it would mean that the pills he require is concocted with the Pill Emperor's vitality and longevity. If the Pill Emperor concocts such pills for a prolonged time, his vitality would suffer greatly. Once his vitality falls to a certain level, he would no longer be able to concoct that pill. Tell me, when Zhuo Pingan chooses a Pill Emperor, does he show a preference for younger ones?”
Han Long jolted but she immediately reacted; she subconsciously said, ”That seems to be the case.”
She wasn't a pill refiner but with this simple prompt by Mo Wuji, she came to a complete understanding. Mo Wuji was right.
