Chapter 73: Last Minute Arrangements

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor:

“Deacon Wu…” Mo Wuji arrived at Wu Kai’s lodgings, only to discover that compared to the place that Wu Kai lived at, his little room really didn’t count for much. Although the area around Wu Kai’s apartment was not as spacious as his, but the spiritual energy here was many times greater than at his own area. As such, Mo Wuji suspected that there was some sort of method being used to gather the spiritual energy, to increase its concentration to exceptional levels. An Earth Sect’s service disciple could actually get treated so well. What about those core disciples in the top sects, what insane level of privilege would they experience?

“Haha Brother Mo, how did you find the time to come visit me?” Wu Kai saw Mo Wuji approaching from afar, regretting that he did not leave earlier, unfortunately bumping into him.

As the deacon of service disciples, he was aware that Pharmacy 19, which Mo Wuji was under, was occupied by Pill Master Shi in the morning. It was the same Pill Master Shi that changed pill labs seven times consecutively, and chased away all service disciples of those seven pill labs in the process. Now that Mo Wuji was here, it must have meant that Pill Master Shi had failed again and chased Mo Wuji out. Needless to say, He was here to request for a relaxed job from Wu Kai. However, as he had already repaid the Mo Wuji’s goodwill in the form of a Winged Sea Leopard egg, Wu Kai was much less willing to make favourable arrangements once again. “Deacon Wu, I’m sorry for not coming by sooner. My sincerest apologies for troubling you again on my second visit,” Mo Wuji bowed respectfully with a smile from a distance.

This much Wu Kai still had expected, but just as he was finding an excuse to turn down Mo Wuji, he heard the following proposition, “Deacon Wu, I have six Energy Condensing Pills here. Since I have poor quality spirit roots, it will be a waste for me to keep these pills. Why don’t you take them instead?” Out of the 12 pills that Shi Jun gave him, Mo Wuji planned to keep only six.

“Energy Condensing Pills?” With a single glance, Wu Kai recognised the contents of the glass bottle that Mo Wuji passed to him. Even if he were a deacon of the service disciples, Energy Condensing Pills were hard to come by. To mortals, the price of one of those pills would scare them sh*tless, so what about six Energy Condensing Pills? With these six pills, he would be able to advance his cultivation level another step forward.

Gripping the Energy Condensing Pills in hand, Wu Kai hurriedly asked, “Where did you get these pills from?” While it was possible to buy those pills from the Pill Market, but their prices were staggering, often not even measurable in gold coins. He did not mind the high price, as sourcing for gold coins was not an issue for him, but he would be helpless if alternative payments were required. The pills sold by the sect always required one to exchange contribution points for them, however Wu Kai did not have many points anyway, and could not invest them all in Energy Condensing Pills either.

After receiving the gift of six Energy Condensing Pills, Wu Kai decided to help Mo Wuji one more time, in accordance with his principle of helping others as long as they helped him. How he handled such situations was crucial, as it would determine whether others would give him further benefits in the future. However, his exchange rate was one favour for one instance of assistance. If anyone wanted his help a second time, they would have to pay him again.

Seeing that Wu Kai did not want to give up the Energy Condensing Pills, Mo Wuji knew that he was about to succeed, “This was my reward after helping Pill Master Shi successfully refine pills. His intention was to have me follow him to obtain ingredients for pill refining from now on, but as you know, I have someone to take care of, hence I can’t follow him everywhere. So I rejected his offer.”
