First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 138: Pill Appreciation Gathering

Three days later, in Jiyun Town.

To describe the street where Ascension Pill Shop was located as crowded would be an understatement.

Shen Mo had experienced what it meant to be "surrounded by people like clouds and able to control the weather" during his vacation in his previous life.

Now, he was witnessing the same scene again.

After learning that Qian, the shopkeeper, wanted to use the name "Moshen" as the brand, Shen Mo immediately rushed back and produced a batch of top-quality Heqi Pills and Yanghun Pills.

He intended to replace the previous non-top-quality second-grade spirit pills and make them the flagship products of the "Pill Appreciation Gathering."

Since he wanted to pursue excitement, he would go all the way.

Wouldn't it ruin Moshen's reputation if he sold excellent second-grade spirit pills?

Naturally, Qian, the shopkeeper, was delighted and laughed happily.

However, when Shen Mo raised the prices of the newly refined Heqi Pills and Yanghun Pills by thirty percent, Qian, the shopkeeper, suddenly stopped smiling.

It wasn't that Shen Mo was being unscrupulous.

It was just that he didn't expect Qian, the shopkeeper, to be so cunning.

Using the name of Moshen, who had a great reputation in the pill domain, could easily bring thousands of spirit stones to his pill shop in terms of the number of customers alone.

Not to mention the premium price of fifty to one hundred percent for the top-quality spirit pills produced by "Moshen."

Don't be fooled by Qian, the shopkeeper, pretending to be unhappy while bargaining. Who knows how happy he was deep down?

If he really wanted to calculate, Shen Mo felt that he had been taken advantage of.

Qian, the shopkeeper, was very good at spreading information.

In just three days, the relevant news had spread throughout the Linqiang Sect's pill domain.

The mysterious alchemy grandmaster Moshen had personally refined second-grade spirit pills, each of which was a top-quality product.

They would be sold at the "Ascension Pill Shop" in Jiyun Town, and alchemists from all over were invited to attend the Pill Appreciation Gathering.

The news had even spread within the Linqiang Sect, both among the inner and outer disciples.

Even Cao Ren, who didn't pay much attention to alchemy, came to invite Shen Mo to the Pill Appreciation Gathering just to watch the excitement.

Shen Mo could only politely decline.

And now, he had disguised his appearance and was blending in with the crowd, observing this grand event.

In addition to the cultivators who came to watch the excitement, like Cao Ren, there were also many alchemists who rarely left the pill domain and were obsessed with alchemy.

If one didn't know the situation, they would think this was the triennial Immortal Pill Feast of the pill domain!

Just like at this moment.

Among the cultivators who were watching the excitement with Shen Mo, there were some who didn't understand much.

"What's happening today? Why is the street so lively? And why are there so many Linqiang Sect cultivators dressed as alchemists? Did they discover some top-grade earth fire or are there spiritual fires for sale?"

"What earth fire or spiritual fire! That's the alchemy grandmaster Moshen holding a Pill Appreciation Gathering. It is said that there are quite a few top-quality second-grade spirit pills for sale."

"Hey... you're only half right. My second brother is from the pill domain, and he said that the alchemy grandmaster Moshen has extremely high alchemy skills. He has broken the alchemy records of the pill domain held by the talented Zhao Lingyin in the Pill Tower! Moreover, he is mysterious and low-key. He probably won't show up this time when selling the spirit pills. Those alchemists should be here to evaluate the pills he refined."

"If he doesn't show up, how can we be sure that these top-quality spirit pills are not made by someone else pretending to be him?"

"Come on, let me give you the alchemy cauldron... You try to refine a top-quality second-grade spirit pill and pretend to be him! With the alchemy skills of such an alchemy grandmaster, who wouldn't be proud? As for using someone else's name?"

"That's right, besides, if you dare to impersonate, Master Moshen will come looking for trouble. You might end up with a ruined reputation. Why bother?"

"I also heard that Master Moshen entrusted his disciple to sell the spirit pills in Jiyun Town. As a result, because the quality of the pills was excellent, someone targeted his disciple and wanted to capture him to make money by refining pills!"

"Oh, there's such a thing! Doesn't the town's guardian take care of it?"

"The guardians are useless except for collecting commissions! Once you leave Jiyun Town, they won't care whether you live or die."

Shen Mo silently moved to the side, so as not to be overheard by the guardians. He wanted to teach that sarcastic cultivator a lesson and splash him with blood.

Thanks to the shopkeeper's help, this Pill Appreciation Conference was off to a good start. The disguises of Mo Shen and his disciples were finally stable!

It must be said that the shopkeeper is quite clever. Knowing that Shen Mo, as a disciple of Mo Shen, was worried about being targeted, he spread rumors that Shen Mo had almost been kidnapped. This reinforced the idea that he was just a "gofer" and prevented those with ill intentions from causing trouble for him.

At the same time, it added to the story and credibility, laying the groundwork for the Pill Appreciation Conference.

In addition to inviting a large number of alchemists to evaluate the pills refined by Master Mo Shen, this Pill Appreciation Conference also included alchemy competitions, auctions of exquisite pills, and opportunities for exchanging and appreciating rare elixirs.

With the shopkeeper's management, this small Pill Appreciation Conference became exceptionally lively.

Judging from the momentum and enthusiasm, it even had a faint atmosphere similar to the Dan Territory's triennial Immortal Elixir Feast!

"Oh, isn't that girl Zhao Lingyin? She really came."

Shen Mo pulled up his robe collar, covering most of his face, and only revealing a pair of eyes as he stared straight at the girl in front of the Ascension Pill Store.

She was young, looking like she was not even twenty yet.

She was brought back to the Spirit Gathering Peak of the Dan Territory by Wu Keqing at the age of sixteen and had been practicing on the mountain for three years. So, she was barely nineteen.

She was dressed in a clean and plain alchemist robe, with her black hair draped over her shoulders, without any extra adornments.

Even so, her appearance and temperament were still exceptionally outstanding!

Like a lotus emerging from the water, naturally unadorned, fresh and elegant without a trace of dust.

Why did Shen Mo know that she was Zhao Lingyin?

It was simple. The alchemists around her, who were old and had white eyebrows and beards, treated her as an equal and didn't dare to act superior in front of her.

Some young alchemists were even like the star-chasing fans in Shen Mo's previous life, crowding around her, being cautious and afraid to approach her too much.

Apart from the first genius of the Dan Territory and the disciples of the fourth-grade alchemist, who else could receive such treatment?

Zhao Lingyin frowned slightly, feeling a little annoyed.

She had originally wanted to buy a pill refined by Mo Shen and study it when she returned. Who would have thought that Jiyun Town would be so lively?

Many of the people here were alchemists from the Dan Territory, so it wouldn't be good to leave in a huff!

"Is Master Mo Shen not showing up today?" Zhao Lingyin asked the host of the Pill Appreciation Conference, the shopkeeper.

How shrewd was the shopkeeper?

He had long learned from the discussions of the alchemists around him that she was Zhao Lingyin, the first genius of the Dan Territory.

Immediately, he put on a smile and said in a friendly manner, "Little Fairy Lingyin, I haven't seen Master Mo Shen either!"

"These pills were all sent here for sale by his disciples."

Zhao Lingyin's eyes brightened and she asked eagerly, "Then where are Master Mo Shen's disciples? Can I meet them?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper suddenly felt a sense of helplessness.

In his heart, he secretly complained that this little fairy was too naive!

It was obvious that they had reservations and didn't want to reveal their true identities, yet she kept asking persistently. She was definitely being foolishly obsessed with alchemy!

If Shen Mo could hear the shopkeeper's thoughts, he would definitely praise him and buy some melon seeds for Zhao Lingyin!
