Chapter 625: Xu Suren
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
Mo Wuji initially wanted to advertise his status as a Tier 7 Honoured Grade Pill Emperor, hence there was no hint of humility in his words, ”Of course, if Castellan Ku needs any Tier 7 or 8 immortal pills refined in the future, you can look for me.”
To Mo Wuji, advancing to Tier 8 Pill Emperor was only a matter of time.
Once Ku Zu heard this, he felt surprised and happy. What a Tier 8 Pill Emperor. One had to know that in the entire Immortal World, the person with the highest pill dao level was Xiao Lishi, who was at the peak of Tier 8 Pill Emperor. Moreover, Xiao Lishi looked like a youth, but in reality everyone knew that he was an old fart that had lived for millions of years. In terms of talent, Xiao Lishi paled in comparison to Mo Wuji.
”Brother Mo, please take a seat at the front row.” Ku Zu changed his title for Mo Wuji to ‘Brother Mo’ after he found out that Mo Wuji was a Tier 8 Pill Emperor.
Although he was an Immortal Emperor, but a Tier 8 Pill Emperor’s status was no lower than an Immortal Emperor’s. As Heavenly Chasm City’s Castellan and an Immortal Emperor, there were simply too many reasons for him to borrow the expertise of a Tier 8 Pill Emperor.
Xiao Lishi might have also been a Tier 8 Pill Emperor, but he was the Alliance Head of Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, a much higher social status than him, Ku Zu. If he made a request to Xiao Lishi to concoct some pills, who knew how high a price he would have to pay, even possibly having to beg. However, Mo Wuji was different, as it would be much easier to request for pills from a rogue cultivator. If he could get on Mo Wuji’s good side and become friends…
As Heavenly Chasm City’s Castellan, Ku Zu understood this difference. As for Mo Wuji’s sworn enemy, Lun Cai, Ku Zu didn’t care either. No matter how crazy Lun Cai seemed, he wouldn’t dare to anger Heavenly Chasm City.
With Ku Zu personally escorting him, Mo Wuji went to sit at a prominent spot on the first row. All those around him were either sect heads or various large immortal domain’s leaders.
”Brother Mo, you can sit peacefully. Part of Heavenly Chasm Resthouse also belongs to me, so I have to go to entertain some guests. In a moment, Smith Emperor Xu will arrive, I’ll have to receive him too.” After Mo Wuji and Han Long sat down, Ku Zu said apologetically.
Standing up, Mo Wuji replied, ”Immortal Friend Ku please do as you please, I’m rather good here.”
Naturally, Mo Wuji understood the intention behind Ku Zu befriending him, and he did not reject it. Ku Zu wanted to make use of his pill dao, and he also needed a powerful friend like Ku Zu. Regardless whether it was in the Mortal World or the Immortal Word, this was reality. Having a few friends who would die for you in your life was already considered very lucky. But most of your friends would definitely come from mutually beneficial exchanges. This was the reality, and also essential.
With Ku Zu’s departure, a few cultivators in the vicinity took the initiative to greet Mo Wuji. His previous declaration that he was a Tier 7 Honoured Grade Pill Emperor was heard by them, so who wouldn’t want to get acquainted with one? In other words, their intention was to befriend Mo Wuji while his cultivation level was still low, otherwise they probably would not have the qualifications to befriend him after he grew strong.
”Welcome Master Xu to Heavenly Chasm Resthouse’s exchange forum, and at the same time we would like to congratulate Master Xu for advancing to Grade 9 Smith Emperor and becoming the only Grade 9 Smith Emperor in the seven great Immortal Domains.” Ku Zu’s voice echoed out in the room. Following which, everyone in the exchange forum location stood up to welcome Master Xu.
Mo Wuji saw Ku Zu and a few immortals with exceptional auras escorting a skinny man into the room. Upon seeing the skinny man, the first thing he noticed was that this guy was rather similar to him, without any spirituality about him. If he didn’t know that this was Xu Suren, he would have assumed that this guy was just another passerby on the street
Since Xu Suren was a smith, there should have a grand flaming aura about him, or so Mo Wuji thought. Who knew that the actual person differed from his expectations by that much. The skinny man before him didn’t seem that old, but had the appearance of a middle aged man.
”Greetings Master Xu!”
”Elder Xu…”
When Xu Suren passed by, all of the people in the vicinity greeted him, and he responded with a smile, which made everyone feel that his gaze fell on them for a good period of time.
This was a form of respect indeed, and at the same time, Mo Wuji knew that it was also a form of strength. It was apparent that Xu Suren’s strength was no lower than Lun Cai.
In his heart, Mo Wuji decided that he had to raise his cultivation level more, even though he already had achieved a certain level in pill dao. If he were as strong as Xu Suren, who would dare to attack those close to him in his absence?
As Mo Wuji was thinking about how to raise his strength, he suddenly felt Xu Suren stare at him, hence he quickly bowed respectfully and greeted Xu Suren. Could his senses have lied to him? He felt that Xu Suren nodded at him, but didn’t see this with his eyes at all.
