The attendant quickly brought over a complete set of alchemy equipment. Mo Wuji had seen countless sets of alchemy equipment and could even say that he was the first to use the most advanced alchemy equipment on Earth.

As soon as this set, called "Eternal Evergreen," was brought over, Mo Wuji opened it and checked it, knowing immediately that it was a treasure. Compared to that piece of trash from Cheng Yu State, this set was many times more powerful. Although many of its functions weren't exactly the same as the alchemy equipment on Earth, Mo Wuji felt that this set was more suitable for alchemy.

"Your Eternal Evergreen has arrived. It looks very high-end," Shen Lian said with a hint of disapproval.

If Mo Wuji had a lot of money, then fine. But she now knew that Mo Wuji didn't have much money. For someone without much money to not only stay in a luxurious room costing 10,000 gold coins a month, but also buy a useless alchemy device for 370,000 gold coins was simply outrageous.

She didn't believe that Mo Wuji could successfully practice alchemy. Although alchemists were nothing compared to pill refiners, not just anyone could become an alchemist. It required not only talent but also a certain amount of knowledge.

Mo Wuji packed up the alchemy equipment he had inspected and said nonchalantly, "I already have the Mortal Immortal Technique, so this set of equipment will just be called basic alchemy equipment from now on. There's no need to give it a pretentious name that will make others jealous."

Shen Lian almost laughed out loud. Would anyone be jealous of this set of alchemy equipment or that Qi Training Basics?

"Senior Sister Shen, please help me send this set of equipment to the hotel. I'm going out to buy some medicinal herbs to try my hand at it."

Before Mo Wuji could finish speaking, he saw that Shen Lian's face was a little unhappy. He quickly pulled out a gold ticket worth 1,000 gold coins and said, "If I come back late, Senior Sister Shen, please go eat by yourself. There's no need to wait for me."

Shen Lian didn't even have money for food right now. When Mo Wuji took out 1,000 gold coins, she immediately swallowed the words of dissatisfaction she was about to say. She had come out with Mo Wuji to find a chance to borrow some money from him. She couldn't possibly wait for Mo Wuji every time she ate, right?

A thousand gold coins was enough for her.

After seeing Shen Lian off, Mo Wuji started buying medicinal herbs everywhere.

Changluo City was the capital of the Xinghe Empire. As long as you had money, there was basically nothing you couldn't buy here.

After a day, Mo Wuji returned to the Tianluo Hotel with several large packages. He had bought enough herbs for nearly fifty portions of meridian opening liquid.

The price of the meridian opening liquid herbs he needed wasn't high, so he tried to buy the better ones. For example, for lingzhi mushrooms, he tried to buy ones that were over two hundred years old.

Lingzhi mushrooms that were less than a thousand years old were not even considered spiritual herbs here. Even thousand-year-old lingzhi mushrooms were just low-grade spiritual herbs and didn't cost much.

In addition to that, he also bought a pile of dry food. The worst thing about alchemy was being interrupted. Since he was preparing to practice alchemy, he decided to do it continuously for a while before going out again.

Back at the hotel, Mo Wuji didn't see Shen Lian. He didn't know if she was resting or had gone out. His alchemy equipment was placed in the living room by Shen Lian.

Although Mo Wuji didn't know much about Shen Lian, he knew that her background was definitely not that simple. Therefore, Mo Wuji wouldn't ask about what Shen Lian was doing.

Back in his room, Mo Wuji began to debug the equipment to continue refining the meridian opening liquid.

Mo Wuji had already refined dozens of portions of meridian opening liquid, so refining meridian opening liquid was a simple matter for him.

For several days in a row, Mo Wuji didn't leave his room. Shen Lian smelled the medicinal scent coming from Mo Wuji's room and knew that Mo Wuji was practicing alchemy. As a cultivator, she knew that the most taboo thing when practicing alchemy or cultivating was to be disturbed. Moreover, she wasn't familiar with Mo Wuji, so she didn't care that Mo Wuji was practicing alchemy in his room day and night.

Three days later, Mo Wuji went out once and then came back to continue practicing alchemy. In this way, Mo Wuji spent nearly twenty days refining all fifty portions of medicinal herbs.

In twenty days, he had lost a circle of weight. From fifty portions of medicinal herbs, he had refined forty-six portions of meridian opening liquid.

If he wasn't in a hurry to refine them, he wouldn't have wasted a single portion of those fifty.

When he came out again, he still didn't see Shen Lian. There were still a few days left before the Yuexian Sect Assembly, and Mo Wuji was wondering if he could use these few days to find a place with thunder crocodiles to temper his meridians. It was probably unlikely that he would find a thunder swamp suitable for him here. Changluo City was near the sea, so it was possible to find thunder crocodiles.

Mo Wuji didn't dare to go looking for thunder crocodiles alone. He had finally gained the ability to cultivate, and he didn't want to die so early.

Maybe he could go to the Changluo Guild to see if anyone was teaming up to deal with thunder crocodiles.

...

"Wuji..." Just as Mo Wuji walked to the entrance of the Changluo Guild, he heard a familiar voice calling him.

"Zhenyi, why are you with Bu Er?" Mo Wuji's surprise stopped before he could finish speaking, and then he asked, "Bu Er, who hit you?"

Half of Ding Bu Er's face was swollen, and the five finger prints had not completely disappeared.

"This is not the place to talk. Let's go into the guild," Yuan Zhenyi said, pulling Ding Bu Er and Mo Wuji into the guild together.

"What's going on?" Mo Wuji asked, staring at Ding Bu Er before he even sat down.

Although Ding Bu Er wasn't as generous as Yuan Zhenyi, he was a good friend, and he and Mo Wuji had always gotten along well. Moreover, if Ding Bu Er hadn't called out to him in the Thunder Mist Forest, his fate would have been hard to predict.

Ding Bu Er clenched his fist and said, "It was Cao Hao who hit me. If I have the ability in the future, I will definitely step on that bastard's head..."

Ding Bu Er didn't continue speaking. He knew that he was talking nonsense. Cao Hao had spiritual roots, and good ones at that, while he was an ordinary person without spiritual roots. How could a person without spiritual roots fight Cao Hao? Saying that he would step on Cao Hao's head was just a moment of venting.

Mo Wuji said, "Tell me slowly."

Yuan Zhenyi helped Ding Bu Er by saying, "Bu Er has been following Han Ning. Later, Cao Hao brought a celestial master who found Han Ning. That celestial master came for Han Ning's Double Leaf Flame Grass. The Double Leaf Flame Grass seemed very important to that celestial master. After that celestial master took Han Ning's Double Leaf Flame Grass, he immediately took out a token and told Han Ning that she could become an outer disciple of their sect at any time."

Only now did Mo Wuji know why Han Ning had to have the Double Leaf Flame Grass. It seemed that this woman had planned it all along. Even if she couldn't be selected by the Yuexian Sect Assembly, she could become an outer disciple. What good calculation.

"That celestial master's surname is Lu. After that surname Lu received two Double Leaf Flame Grasses, it seems that it was not enough, and he asked Han Ning how to find the Double Leaf Flame Grass..."

When Yuan Zhenyi said this, Ding Bu Er interjected and said to Mo Wuji, "At this time, I said one more word, saying that you found the Double Leaf Flame Grass. That celestial master then asked you where you found it. Han Ning said that you found it in a stone crevice by a lake outside the Thunder Mist Forest. The celestial master didn't say much, and then left. What I didn't expect was that after the celestial master left, Cao Hao suddenly slapped me in the face and then kicked me to the ground, kicking me several times."

"Han Ning didn't say anything to stop him in the middle?" Mo Wuji asked in a deep voice.

Ding Bu Er shook his head, "No, after Cao Hao finished beating me, Han Ning told me that she no longer needed me here. I'm not an idiot, so I naturally knew that Han Ning had abandoned me in advance. I couldn't find your residence for a while, so I could only go to Zhenyi's place."

Mo Wuji stood up, patted Ding Bu Er and comforted him, "Don't worry, one day, I will avenge you for this hatred."

Ding Bu Er's words invisibly reduced Han Ning's credit, which naturally made Han Ning unhappy. With Han Ning's selfish nature, it was normal to drive Ding Bu Er away.

Yuan Zhenyi also stood up, "Wuji, my business here is also over. I don't plan to go to the Yuexian Sect Assembly. I plan to cultivate martial arts, so I'm going to leave Changluo City. What are you and Bu Er planning to do?"

"Cultivate martial arts? Is it because you don't have spiritual roots?" Mo Wuji was still planning to wait until things settled down before taking out the meridian opening liquid to share with Yuan Zhenyi and Ding Bu Er.

Yuan Zhenyi shook his head, looked up at the crowded guild hall, and said word by word, "Even if I have spiritual roots, I plan to cultivate martial arts. I made this decision before I came to Changluo. Now I am going to find my martial arts, and maybe one day we can meet again. Maybe today's farewell will be the last time we see each other. Wuji, Bu Er, we will say goodbye here. No matter whether we can meet in the future, we are all friends."

After speaking, Yuan Zhenyi turned and walked out of the teahouse door, not waiting for Mo Wuji to say goodbye. He was already far away. Mo Wuji and Ding Bu Er walked out of the teahouse and could vaguely hear him singing, "...Today we will say goodbye temporarily, and we will definitely reunite in the future. Even if we cannot meet, we will always be friends..."
