"Excuse me, are you Elder Mo?" A pretty woman greeted Gong Yi and Mo Wuji as soon as they arrived at the underground warehouse.

Mo Wuji nodded. "That's right, I am Mo Wuji."

The pretty woman quickly bowed and presented a ring to Mo Wuji, saying, "Elder Mo, this is what Guild President Shang asked me to give you. Inside is the reward from the Spiked Corner Immortal Ruins branch for Elder Mo, as well as Elder Mo's branch elder identity token."

Mo Wuji didn't examine the ring there. He put it away and said, "Thank you."

"Elder Mo is too polite. The warehouse is now open, and Elder Mo can go in and select three treasures for yourself," the pretty woman said respectfully, gesturing towards the warehouse.

Gong Yi knew his task was complete and quickly took his leave.

The woman stood outside the warehouse door, not entering. Mo Wuji nodded to her and walked inside.

The warehouse of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance's Spiked Corner Immortal Ruins branch wasn't very large, but everything inside was definitely high-quality. As soon as Mo Wuji entered, he felt various immortal energy auras. There were not only high-level immortal spirit herbs but also various magical weapon ores and even some cultivation technique jade slips.

Mo Wuji didn't plan to choose magical weapons, immortal spirit herbs, or some precious immortal pills. He had the Half-Moon Green Halberd, which, although damaged, he would eventually repair. Plus, he was a pill refiner himself, so why would he choose pills? As for immortal spirit herbs, they could always be found. He would choose something practical.

Before he had even finished one lap, Mo Wuji grabbed a piece of transparent stone. This was Nirvana Extreme Fire Essence. The reason Mo Wuji had a feud with the Seven Smoke Sect of the Immortal World was because he had bid for Nirvana Extreme Fire Essence at the Jin Yun Square Market. Unfortunately, that piece of Nirvana Extreme Fire Essence hadn't completely upgraded his Azure Myrtle Heart to immortal flame. Now that there was another piece here, Mo Wuji naturally wouldn't miss it.

With this piece of Nirvana Extreme Fire Essence, Mo Wuji was certain that his flame could advance to immortal flame. Even if he didn't get anything else here, it would be worth the trip.

Just as he picked up the Nirvana Extreme Fire Essence, Mo Wuji saw a simple, dark grey, broad-backed long saber placed not far away. This broad-backed saber actually had some of the same aura as his Half-Moon Green Halberd, namely, killing intent and power.

This saber was definitely a good item with some history. Mo Wuji had the Half-Moon Green Halberd, but unfortunately, his Half-Moon Green Halberd wasn't completely repaired yet. Moreover, he also intended to ask about the situation in the Shattered World. He didn't have the qualifications to go before, but now he was an elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Compared to those geniuses, his status was even higher.

Geniuses were, after all, just cultivators with potential. If they fell prematurely or something went wrong, they wouldn't be geniuses anymore. Mo Wuji's position as an elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was real, and he was one now.

If he was qualified to go to the third level of the Shattered World, he would need a good immortal artifact. This saber was not bad.

Thinking of this, Mo Wuji directly grabbed the dark grey broad-backed long saber. Waves of intense killing intent surged forth, and Mo Wuji thought to himself, "This saber must have killed countless experts, or it wouldn't have such terrifying killing intent."

In any case, he was determined to have this saber.

He had only been in here for a short time, and he had already chosen two items. Mo Wuji didn't rush to choose the third item but scanned the entire warehouse before picking up a chopping board that was about a foot in diameter. This chopping board looked like a replica, but its grade had definitely reached the level of a Fifth Grade Immortal Artifact.

The reason Mo Wuji chose this chopping board was not only that its grade had reached the level of a Fifth Grade Immortal Artifact but also that, in addition to its offensive capabilities, it was also a defensive immortal artifact. Mo Wuji really wanted to find a body-tempering cultivation technique, but he hadn't found one yet. Without a body-tempering cultivation technique, he needed a better defensive immortal artifact, and this chopping board was the best choice.

Although there were many other things that Mo Wuji wanted, he had already chosen three items and could only leave the warehouse with some regret.

This time, he went directly to the main hall on the first floor. Dou Hualong, who had been waiting for several days, was still there. As soon as Mo Wuji came out, Dou Hualong excitedly greeted him, "Big Brother, how did your assessment go?"

In Dou Hualong's view, since Mo Wuji had been assessed for three days, he should at least be able to get a First Grade Pill Emperor title.

Mo Wuji chuckled and took out the Fourth Grade Venerable Pill King token, handing it to Dou Hualong, saying, "Hualong, it looks like we're not in a hurry to leave the Spiked Corner Immortal Ruins."

Before, Mo Wuji was eager to leave the Spiked Corner Immortal Ruins because he had no security. Now that he was a Fourth Grade Venerable Pill King, even if he opened a pill shop in the Spiked Corner Immortal Ruins, no one would dare to touch him.

Dou Hualong took the purple token. The moment his eyes fell on it, he was stunned. Even his hands trembled. "Big Brother, you're a Fourth Grade Pill King, and a Venerable one… Is this real or fake?"

Mo Wuji put away the Pill King identity token and patted his shoulder. "It's more real than real gold. I'm also an honorary elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance now."

Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Dou Hualong was even more excited than Mo Wuji. He hadn't expected that the random person he had followed was such a heaven-defying existence. Initially, he had wanted to follow Mo Wuji because he saw that Mo Wuji was generous, treated him equally, and was also lavish with his spending, hoping to have a chance to leave the Spiked Corner Immortal Ruins in the future.

How could he have imagined that Mo Wuji would be a Fourth Grade Venerable Pill King? Under normal circumstances, not to mention him, even a Grand Unity Immortal would be deferential in front of a Fourth Grade Venerable Pill King. Dou Hualong's luck was truly heaven-defying. He had found such a great backer.

Big Brother was right. Even if he, Dou Hualong, didn't leave the Spiked Corner Immortal Ruins, following Big Brother here would still allow him to live a good life.

"Elder Mo, if you don't want to stay in an inn, the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance can provide accommodation. I can help Elder Mo arrange everything properly." A sudden voice interrupted Dou Hualong's daydreaming.

Mo Wuji said politely, "So it's Steward Gong, thank you. I'm currently staying at the Riverside Immortal Rest Building. As for accommodation…"

Mo Wuji pondered for a moment before saying, "If Steward Gong can help me find a small shop in the Spiked Corner Immortal Ruins, that would be best."

"Elder Mo wants to open a pill pavilion?" Gong Yi immediately understood Mo Wuji's idea.

Mo Wuji nodded. "Yes, but if you really can't find one, it doesn't matter."

"Wuji, you should look for me for this kind of thing. You're being too polite by not coming to me. Don't worry, I guarantee I'll help you find such a small shop," Guo Qi's voice came with a smile.

Gong Yi quickly saluted, preparing to take his leave.

Guo Qi stopped Gong Yi. "Steward Gong, you're a capable person. When I help Wuji find a shop, help process the paperwork and then give it to Wuji."

"Yes, thank you, Director Guo," Gong Yi said even more excitedly.

Mo Wuji secretly sighed at Guo Qi's high social skills. With just a few words, she not only made people feel at ease but also strengthened the relationship between him and her, as if helping him was something she should do.

"Then thank you, Sister Qi." Mo Wuji didn't stand on ceremony anymore. He had joined the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, so naturally, he had to build good relationships with the big shots in the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Even if Guo Qi didn't come looking for him, he would have visited her. And also that First Pill King.

"Why are you being so polite? Go back first. Steward Gong will handle everything properly," Guo Qi said kindly and even escorted Mo Wuji out of the main hall of the Spiked Corner Immortal Ruins branch of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance.

……

"Big Brother, this is just like a dream." Even after leaving the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance branch for a long distance, Dou Hualong still couldn't believe it.

Who was Guo Qi? The director of the Chamber of Commerce of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance in the Spiked Corner Immortal Ruins. She was someone he couldn't even look up to normally. But now, she had politely escorted him and Mo Wuji out of the main hall and was even addressing Big Brother as a sibling. Didn't that mean he could also be Director Guo's younger brother?

"There's nothing to it. In the future, with cultivation resources, you can stand at their level as well," Mo Wuji comforted Dou Hualong.

In addition to accumulating some cultivation resources, he wanted to open a pill shop to build an initial platform. He had once said that he wanted to rebuild the Heavenly Secrets Sect. This initial platform was to prepare for him to establish the Heavenly Secrets Sect in the future.

"Yes, Big Brother," Dou Hualong said with absolute trust in Mo Wuji at this moment.

"By the way, a major event happened in the past three days," Dou Hualong said, remembering the task Mo Wuji had given him. Even in the main hall of the Spiked Corner Immortal Ruins branch of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, he didn't neglect the task of collecting information.

"What happened?" Mo Wuji asked.

Dou Hualong lowered his voice. "Two days ago, the Heavenly Emperor of the Yong Ying Immortal Domain and Gu, the number one expert of the Magic Moon Immortal Gate of the Six Paths Immortal Domain, fought a great battle. I heard that the battle was so intense that the sky and earth turned dark, and killing intent raged for thousands of miles."

"Gu?" Mo Wuji asked in confusion.

Dou Hualong nodded. "Yes, the name of that number one expert of the Magic Moon Immortal Gate is Gu. I heard that he is an Immortal Emperor. Even the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Domain respects him."

"Then why did he fight with the Heavenly Emperor of the Yong Ying Immortal Domain?" Mo Wuji asked, puzzled.

Dou Hualong chuckled. "According to the information I got, I heard that a purple gourd was born, causing a fight between the two Immortal Emperor experts."

"A purple gourd was born?" Mo Wuji's heart tightened. Wasn't that gourd lying in his Immortal World? And there was also a gourd of Primordial Life Aura. The gourd was with him, so what were the two Immortal Emperors fighting about?

Dou Hualong lowered his voice habitually. "I heard that the purple gourd was left behind by the Boundless Dao Sect. The reason the Boundless Dao Sect was destroyed back then was because of that purple gourd. The gourd is filled with Primordial Life Aura, which is something anyone would dream of getting."

"Who took that thing?" Mo Wuji was even more shocked. He didn't understand what was going on. Could there be two gourds? Or was there one real and one fake?

If it was fake, it definitely wouldn't have caused two Immortal Emperors to fight.
