"It's my fault that I made several Pill Emperors come to my door. If there is anything that I, this insignificant Pill Refiner, can do, just say the word and I will go. There's no need for you great Pill Emperors to come over here." Mo Wuji said with an enthusiastic demeanor, stepping forward and cupping his fists.

He said that, but in reality, if a Pill Emperor sent a message asking him to go, he would treat it like air.

He was already a Grade 5 Celestial Pill King, and as his cultivation improved, he might become a Pill Emperor in the future. Besides, these Pill Emperors were here to seek his guidance, so Mo Wuji didn't elevate their status to be on par with Yan Qianling.

Yan Qianling was Wen Lianxi's mother, and Wen Lianxi had saved his life, whom Mo Wuji admired. He was willing to call Yan Qianling "Senior."

These Pill Emperors were here to learn from him. He was already being generous by not making them call him "Teacher." As for being his senior, these Pill Emperors weren't qualified yet.

"Haha, Brother Mo, we won't call you Elder anymore, and you don't have to call us 'Your Excellency.' It sounds too formal. How about we address each other as brothers?" Gongyang Xue was the most senior and could easily detect that Mo Wuji's tone was polite but didn't necessarily contain genuine respect.

This indicated that this Elder Mo didn't consider them as seniors but rather as equals.

"Since that's the case, I shall comply. Since the three of you have come, let's go upstairs together for a chat," Mo Wuji said, extending his hand in a gesture of invitation.

Seeing the arrival of the three Pill Emperors, Yan Qianling realized the vast difference in their statuses and quickly said, "Elder Mo, you are busy now. We will come to thank you another time."

Mo Wuji laughed and said, "Lianxi is also my friend. She even saved me once. Since everyone is here, let's go up together."

He could see the eagerness in Tan Liang's eyes, indicating that Tan Liang desperately wanted to chat with the Pill Emperors. He could easily grant him this opportunity, so why not lend a hand?

With Mo Wuji's invitation, Yan Qianling naturally wouldn't refuse. From any perspective, being able to chat with the Pill Emperors was a form of prestige.

Seeing Mo Wuji leading the Pill Emperors upstairs, everyone in the Immortal Abode was filled with envy and bowed respectfully from afar. Pill Emperors were respected figures everywhere.

The manager of the Moon Return Immortal Abode was trembling with excitement. Although the Moon Return Immortal Abode was considered decent in the Yongying Immortal Domain, it was merely decent. Compared to other Immortal Abodes, it was still several levels behind.

Now, three Pill Emperors had actually come to the Moon Return Immortal Abode! What an honor! Moreover, the top four participants in the Grand Pill Dao Competition were all currently in the Moon Return Immortal Abode.

Although the manager wanted to ask Mo Wuji if he would like the Immortal Abode to provide the best immortal tea and wine for free, he didn't dare to presume.

Mo Wuji might not be a Pill Emperor, but he was a Celestial Pill King and an honorary elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. This status wasn't much weaker than that of a Pill Emperor. As for those Pill Emperors, he didn't dare to disturb them.

When Mo Wuji returned to his residence, he found that Lin Gu had already returned. Apparently, she knew Mo Wuji had guests coming and had prepared immortal tea in advance.

Seeing a delicate Daoist nun in Mo Wuji's residence, Yan Qianling couldn't help but ask, despite knowing that she shouldn't, "Elder Mo, who is this?"

Mo Wuji said with a smile, "This is Lin Gu, a friend of mine. She's staying here because I need her help with something."

There were too many people here, and they were all Pill Emperors. Yan Qianling wasn't familiar enough with Mo Wuji to ask further questions.

Gongyang Xue was the most senior and wouldn't care about Yan Qianling's thoughts. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he asked directly, "Brother Mo's understanding of extracting medicinal essence is beyond even our old fellows. We three have come specifically to learn from you."

Mo Wuji thought, "As expected." He said without hesitation, "I wouldn't dare to claim to teach. Let's just exchange ideas. I do have some experience in purifying the essence of immortal herbs, but my understanding of Pill Dao is far inferior to you three. I was also planning to ask for your guidance."

This was equivalent to a mutual exchange. Mo Wuji's abilities weren't something that came out of thin air.

Alchemists were not much different from researchers in Earth's later generations. Once they were immersed in it, they would forget everything else.

Mo Wuji had created his own cultivation technique and even pioneered the cultivation of meridians. He had his own understanding of Pill Dao and medicinal essence purification.

Once he started explaining, the Pill Emperors realized that Mo Wuji was also opening a door for them.

Gongyang Xue was so excited that he scratched his head and cheeks when he heard the most exciting parts.

Not only Gongyang Xue, but the other two Pill Emperors, Heng Jun and Wu Yunsheng, were also astonished by Mo Wuji's theories and completely abandoned their initial reservations.

As for Tan Liang, who had come with Yan Qianling, he was completely engrossed and listened with rapt attention. Since learning Pill Dao, he had never gained so much. He was able to learn a new method of purifying immortal herbs.

Although Mo Wuji was most suitable to be a teacher, he wouldn't just teach without learning. After explaining for a while, he actively shifted the topic to Pill Refinement.

Initially, the Pill Emperors held the attitude of guiding Mo Wuji. However, when they discovered that even in Pill Dao, as long as they provided a little guidance, the things Mo Wuji deduced were no less impressive than what they had learned, and even had more extensions, the Pill Emperors completely let go of their pride.

The five alchemists were completely immersed in the discussion, each eagerly learning. Among the five, Mo Wuji spoke the most, while Tan Liang hardly spoke. His Pill Dao level was the lowest, so he could only learn.

Yan Qianling, Wen Lianxi, and Lin Gu admired Mo Wuji greatly for being able to lecture three Pill Emperors on Pill Dao. However, they also found it boring, as the five were discussing profound topics in Pill Dao, which they found incomprehensible.

Helpless, the three could only go to the side and start another conversation.

Yan Qianling learned from Lin Gu that Mo Wuji and Lin Gu truly had no relationship and that Mo Wuji had been invited by Lin Gu to help treat her mother's illness.

Yan Qianling admired Mo Wuji's character even more. He was clearly going to help Lin Gu, but he said that he was asking for Lin Gu's help. It was just like when he helped Lianxi; he had no intention of flaunting his kindness.

The three Pill Emperors, along with Mo Wuji and Tan Liang, engaged in this exchange for a full two days. After two days, Mo Wuji stopped the exchange only because he was concerned about the impending opening of the Immortal Herb Valley.

Gongyang Xue also knew that Mo Wuji was planning to go to the Immortal Herb Valley. After Mo Wuji stopped the exchange, he took the initiative to stand up, cupped his fist, and bowed to Mo Wuji, saying, "Learning knows no order of precedence; those who achieve are teachers. In this Pill Dao exchange, Brother Mo is my teacher, Gongyang Xue."

Heng Jun and Wu Yunsheng were even more grateful to Mo Wuji. Their gains this time were simply unimaginable.

Mo Wuji laughed and said, "Among three people walking together, there must be one who can be my teacher. I have also learned a lot from you seniors. This meeting has been very beneficial. I need to go to the Immortal Herb Valley. Let's meet again when we have the opportunity."

The three Pill Emperors immediately agreed with Mo Wuji to meet at the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance headquarters next time before reluctantly bidding farewell.

Mo Wuji wasn't lying. His gains from this Pill Dao exchange were no less than those of the others. It could be said that as long as he had enough Grade 6 immortal herbs, he was confident that he could advance to Grade 6 Celestial Pill King in the shortest possible time. Moreover, the quality of the Grade 1 immortal pills he refined afterward would be even better.

After seeing off the three Pill Emperors, Mo Wuji said somewhat apologetically to Yan Qianling, "Senior Yan, I have been very neglectful these past two days."

After saying this, Mo Wuji took out a jade token for entering the Immortal Herb Valley and handed it to Yan Qianling, saying, "This is a jade token for entering the Immortal Herb Valley. Please accept it, Senior Yan."

Yan Qianling quickly declined, saying, "Elder Mo, I truly didn't come here for the sake of this Immortal Herb Valley slot. Lianxi and I came here only to express our gratitude. Moreover, Pill King Tan has also gained a lot this time."

Tan Liang sighed on the side and said, "Indeed. After listening to Master Mo and the Pill Emperors' Pill Dao exchange, I realized that I have been sitting at the bottom of a well, looking at the sky in Pill Dao."

Mo Wuji quickly said, "Senior Yan, Lianxi and I are considered friends. Please don't call me Elder in the future; just call me by my name. Since Senior doesn't want this Immortal Herb Valley jade token, then I will put it away."

Although he had two Immortal Herb Valley jade tokens, Mo Wuji didn't lack uses for them. He planned to give one to Lin Gu and ask her to help him find immortal herbs in the Immortal Herb Valley. At that time, he would give Lin Gu some pills.

Two people searching for immortal herbs in the Immortal Herb Valley were better than one. He currently lacked top-grade immortal herbs, in addition to his low cultivation.

"Alright, Wuji, I won't stand on ceremony with you," Yan Qianling said without insisting, and even directly addressed Mo Wuji by his name.

After saying this, she seemed to suddenly remember something and asked with a smile, "Wuji, you don't seem to be very old. I wonder if you have a Dao Companion?"

Mo Wuji wasn't someone who lacked emotional intelligence. As soon as he heard Yan Qianling's words and saw Wen Lianxi's lowered head, he understood what she meant.

To be honest, Wen Lianxi was indeed a good woman, but Mo Wuji's mind wasn't on this at all. He was focused on rescuing Cen Shuyin.

After hearing Yan Qianling's words, he quickly replied, "I have a Dao Companion. Although we haven't had the chance to meet yet, I believe that there will eventually be a day when we meet."

Mo Wuji was saying that he was confident that he could repair Cen Shuyin's soul, while Yan Qianling heard that Mo Wuji's Dao Companion probably hadn't ascended yet. A trace of disappointment flashed across her eyes as she glanced at her daughter.

Although Wen Lianxi wasn't madly in love with Mo Wuji, she felt a trace of disappointment in her heart after hearing Mo Wuji's words. However, she quickly returned to normal because there was nothing between her and Mo Wuji.

"Then I will take my leave. My Yongshui Immortal City welcomes you to visit at any time, Mo... Wuji," Yan Qianling said as she stood up. Her main purpose here was to find a son-in-law. Since Mo Wuji had a Dao Companion, what else could she say?

Mo Wuji also stood up and said, "Thank you, Senior Yan. I have a pill shop in the Sharp Corner Immortal Ruins. If you need any pills in the future, you can go directly to me."
