First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 191: Getting Along

"Congratulations, Senior Sister, for entering the ranks of third-grade alchemists!" Shen Mo accepted the jade box and congratulated her with a smile.

Zhao Lingyin was able to refine a fourth-grade spirit pill.

Undoubtedly, she had made progress in the path of alchemy and reached the level of a third-grade alchemist.

"However, fourth-grade spirit pills are valuable, and I can't just accept this favor from you for free."

Although Zhao Lingyin said it casually, Shen Mo was familiar with the classics such as "Pharmacist's Canon" and "Detailed Explanation of Alchemy in the Turtle Crane Sect" and knew the preciousness of the Dragon Tiger Indiscriminate Pill.

This pill had comprehensive effects and extremely strong medicinal properties.

It was equivalent to an upgraded and improved version of the third-grade Mad Heart Devouring Pill.

Taking a Dragon Tiger Indiscriminate Pill when on the verge of death would immediately make one full of vitality, without the negative effects of the Mad Heart Devouring Pill.

Many powerful experts in the Spirit Sea Realm would spend a lot of money to have one or two as life-saving pills.

At the auction in Jiyun Town, just an ordinary quality Dragon Tiger Indiscriminate Pill could be sold for a high price of four to five hundred low-grade spirit stones.

And in the jade box Zhao Lingyin gave him, there were two bottles, each containing five pills.

The price was as high as four to five thousand low-grade spirit stones!

It was even priceless, and even if one had money, they might not be able to buy it.

Moreover, even if Shen Mo had the pill formula, he couldn't refine it now.

Just collecting the spiritual medicinal materials would take at least four to five months, let alone preparing everything.

With the Tian Shan Grand Ceremony approaching, Zhao Lingyin's gift of the Dragon Tiger Indiscriminate Pill made it difficult for Shen Mo to refuse.

However, when he was thinking about how to reciprocate, Shen Mo encountered another dilemma.

He had many precious treasures on him, but it was inconvenient to give them away.

Especially the ones suitable for Zhao Lingyin, there were only the Netherworld Fire and the Fire Chi Pill Cauldron.

Not to mention whether Shen Mo was willing to give away the Netherworld Fire and the Pill Cauldron.

Zhao Lingyin's master was a fourth-grade alchemist, and she herself had gained many benefits from the Pill Tower. She had at least five different types of Netherworld Fire, and the commonly used Pill Cauldron was even a Profound Grade top-quality item.

She was definitely a wealthy person in the realm of alchemy.

Even if Shen Mo reluctantly gave them away, she might not be interested.

After thinking for a long time, Shen Mo simply took out fifty low-grade spirit stones and placed them in front of Zhao Lingyin.

"I don't have any treasures that I can give away."

"Lingyin Senior Sister, please accept these spirit stones. Consider it as me buying these ten Dragon Tiger Indiscriminate Pills from you."

Unexpectedly, when Zhao Lingyin heard this, the anticipation in her eyes dimmed instantly.

Pouting her mouth, she furrowed her brows.

With a sulking face, she ignored Shen Mo's words.

"What's wrong, Lingyin Senior Sister?"

This was the first time Shen Mo had seen Zhao Lingyin display such a childish attitude.

While feeling slightly curious, he also couldn't figure out the reason behind Zhao Lingyin's unhappiness.

After pondering for a while, he roughly guessed that Zhao Lingyin was upset because he used spirit stones to buy the pills, but he didn't know the specific reason.

Helplessly, Shen Mo had to leave a message in the friend group through a sound transmission talisman, seeking advice.

Of course, he concealed key information such as "Zhao Lingyin," "Cui Zhu Alchemy Room," and "fourth-grade spirit pill," and only gave a general description.

A person of the opposite sex, Fellow Daoist, gave him a generous gift. He wanted to reciprocate with an equally valuable spiritual stone, but it ended up displeasing Fellow Daoist. How can he remedy the situation?

As a result, that guy Cao Ren was the first to reply.

"You little brat, you've already hooked up with Senior Sister from the Star Peak so quickly? Come on, tell me, which Senior Sister has bad taste?"

"Get lost!"

Shen Mo didn't mince words with this friend he met in the lowest of circumstances and directly replied with a mocking laugh.

They also made plans to meet and have a drink after the Tianshan Grand Ceremony.

As Shen Mo's cultivation level continued to improve, his contact with Cao Ren gradually decreased.

It could be predicted that with Cao Ren's talent and cultivation speed, they would only grow further apart.

However, before that happened, Shen Mo would try his best to maintain this thread of friendship.

Next was Guo Zhao's reply.

"Junior Brother Shen, the Fellow Daoist of the opposite sex you mentioned, could it be Senior Sister Chen?"

He wasn't here to help, only concerned about whether the person who gave Shen Mo a gift was Chen Mengze.

Before Shen Mo had a chance to explain, Chen Mengze from the same group replied, "It has nothing to do with me."

Immediately, Guo Zhao started to flatter her, but Chen Mengze didn't reply at all.

Instead, she privately messaged Shen Mo, "Say more good things and coax her a bit..."

Shen Mo could sense her meaning between the lines.

He always felt that Chen Mengze must have misunderstood something, but he couldn't explain it.

Luo Ming also messaged him.

"Junior Brother Shen, the ranking of the Tianshan Grand Ceremony is related to the distribution of benefits for the sect next year. Don't let your romantic feelings interfere with important matters!"

Since his older brother Luo Yao died, Luo Ming had become even more diligent in his cultivation.

This time, he had been preparing for a good ranking at the grand ceremony for a long time.

Shen Mo felt a bit depressed.

None of his friends had any serious suggestions.

Only Chen Mengze's advice was somewhat reliable.

After putting away the messaging talisman, Shen Mo glanced at Zhao Lingyin, who remained silent.

Even in her unhappy state, she was still pleasing to the eye.

After thinking for a moment, he took out a jade box from his pocket, opened the pill bottle, and poured out a Dragon Tiger Indivisible Pill.

The pill was the size of a jujube pit and had the texture of jade marrow.

Although it wasn't a perfect pill, it was of excellent quality.

With his divine sense, he could faintly see the radiance of the pill, depicting a scene of a dragon and a tiger fighting.

The tiger roared in the mountains, and the dragon soared in the sky, highlighting the extraordinary nature of this pill.

"This pill has restrained radiance and an excellent appearance."

"What's rare is the refining and processing of the medicinal ingredients. It's handled so perfectly..."

"No wonder Senior Sister, truly exceptional talent! Just reaching the third rank, she can refine such high-quality fourth-rank pills."

"Even if I reach the third rank in the future, I'm afraid I can only refine ordinary quality pills."

"It's no wonder many senior brothers and sisters in the pill domain see Senior Sister as a fairy descending to the mortal realm. Not only is she beautiful, but even in alchemy..."

As Shen Mo praised the pill and the person who made it, Zhao Lingyin's expression visibly brightened.

Seeing this, Shen Mo couldn't help but hold back a laugh.

But he also realized once again.

Although Zhao Lingyin was the number one genius in the pill domain, he still referred to her as Senior Sister.

But in the end, she was a young girl who hadn't even reached twenty years old.

"A fourth-rank pill is indeed quite difficult to refine. When I was refining the main medicine..."

Unable to hold back, Zhao Lingyin began to share her experience and insights in refining the Dragon Tiger Indivisible Pill with Shen Mo.

After their exchange, she excitedly took out the pill cauldron and began refining a furnace of nameless Qi Returning Pills.

She claimed to have improved the speed of refining this pill by a bit and wanted to demonstrate it to Shen Mo, so he could see where further improvements could be made.

Zhao Lingyin...

She still hadn't given up on breaking Shen Mo's refining record!
