  “I think I should go to this Old Man Lu for things related to forgery. But I’m not in a rush to have anything forged right now, so let’s go sign up first.” Ye Mo was no longer interested in other forgery masters after seeing Old Man Lu.

  Jing Yingli knew what Ye Mo was thinking and smiled. “It’ll be very hard to get Lu Wuhua Qianbei to forge for you. I don’t know why he helped you today, but he never does a losing deal. You need to be careful.”

  Ye Mo smiled and didn’t put it to heart. Even if Lu Wuhua didn’t do losing deals, he simply wouldn’t give him a losing deal. If he could get a foothold in Pill City, he wouldn’t mind helping Lu Wuhua concoct pills for one or two months.

  “When we sign up, I will use the name Luo Xiaomo,” Ye Mo said.

  Jing Yingli nodded. “That’s good, even if Mo Youshen were to recognize you, he doesn’t know about Ning Xiaoma.” ……

  Although the Pill Assocation was offically only a part of Pill City, almost all of the higher ups of Pill City came from the Pill Association.

  The Pill Association building was the most grandiloquent structure in Pill City. When Ye Mo followed Jing Yingli into the Pill Assocation tower, a middle-aged man came out.

  He was at the hollow spirit state but didn’t look down on Ye Mo and Jing Yingli at all. He asked politely what they were there for.

  Ye Mo knew that although this hollow spirit state cultivator looked like an attendant, he was actually a guard.

  “Qianbei, we have business with the Pill Assocation’s vice-leader who manages pill master certificates,” Jing Yingli said.

  The hollow spirit state cultivator looked at the two very young people. He could tell that they weren’t too young either, but why were they looking for the pill master verification manager? Did they need a spirit pill master verification?

  The hollow spirit state cultivator continued saying, “Sorry, before the pill king tournament, the spirit pill master and pill king verification procedures are on hold. If you want a certificate, you have to wait until after the pill king tournament.”

  Jing Yingli seemed to know this would be the case, and she smiled. “I know, but this is Luo Xiaomo. He came to find the Pill Assocation’s vice-leader, because he was sent here by a respected qianbei. Please report for us.”

  \r \r \r

  The hollow spirit state cultivator looked suspiciously at Ye Mo but saw that Ye Mo had a calm face and nodded. “Wait for a while.”

  Then the hollow spirit state cultivator left.

  Ye Mo and Jing Yingli didn’t dare to use their spirit sense to scan the waiting hall, so they simply waited patiently.

  Not long after, the hollow spirit state cultivator said, “Come with me please.”

  The two followed the hollow spirit state cultivator to a level three room and before they even went in, they sensed a dense herb aroma and spirit chi.

  The hollow spirit state cultivator said respectfully to the person inside, “Manager Li, I’ve brought the visitors. I’ll be leaving first.”

  Then, a hoarse voice sounded, “Come inside.”

  Ye Mo and Jing Yingli came in and saw a male cultivator studying a spirit herb. His hair was messy, but Ye Mo noticed he was at the body condensation state.

  Ye Mo knew what to do. Before the cultivator asked, he handed over the blue card and said, “Lu-Qianbei told wanbei to come see the association leader—”

  “Lu-Qianbei? Which Lu-Qianbei?” the cultivator took the card but there was some authority and pressure embedded in his question. Clearly, if Ye Mo and Jing Yingli tricked him, they might not be able to leave.

  Jing Yingli realized the reproachful tone and quickly said, “Lu Wuhu Qianbei.”

  “You mean Forgery God Lu, Lu Wuhu? The level nine forgery grand master?” the body condensation state cultivator’s face immediately turned serious.

  “Yes, that Lu Wuhu Qianbei. Martial Brother Luo has some relations with Lu Wuhu Qianbei l, so Lu-Qianbei told me to bring Brother Luo here to ask the association leader to get a pill master verification for Brother Lu, so that he may join the pill king tournament.” Jing Yingli put it in such a way that it wasn’t like Ye Mo had asked Lu-Qianbei for help but like Lu-Qianbei had told Ye Mo to go there.

  “Wait a while.” The body condensation state cultivator immediately took out a communication rune.

  Ye Mo truly admired Lu Wuhu. Just his name was enough to make this body condensation state cultivator so nervous. This body condensation state cultivator clearly didn’t even know that Lu Wuhu was in Pill City, which meant that he wasn’t high level enough!

  Eight minutes later, an old man entered the room. His face was white, and he had no facial hair. He looked at Ye Mo and said, “You’re the pill master Lu-Qianbei sent over?”

  Ye Mo immediately replied, “Yes, Qianbei. Wanbei was told to come here by Lu-Qianbei to participate in the pill king tournament, since I don’t have a pill master verification from Pill City yet.”

  The old man that had come was a cauldron filling state master.

  The old man had taken the blue card as he’d asked his question and now nodded. “This jade card is indeed Lu-Qianbei’s. That is right.”

  The old man didn’t ask more about Forgery God Lu and gave the blue card back to Ye Mo. “Are you a pill king already? If you’re not a pill king, there’s no point in participating in the tournament. If you just want a spirit pill master verification, you can get that at anytime. I want you to know that a favor from Lu-Qianbei is not ordinary. It would be a waste to use it here.”

  Ye Mo immediately replied, “Although wanbei is not a pill king yet, I often manage to concoct heaven grade pills, so I want to try my luck.”

  When the old man heard this, he nodded. “In that case, concoct me some level seven blue wen pills.”

  Then the old man took out some herbs. Ye Mo took out an ordinary cauldron and used the purple flower fire. He didn’t dare to use his heaven flame. Although he could concoct the blue wen pill without a rare flame, if he concocted it with just his soul fire, he would be questioned for sure.

  Jing Yingli knew Ye Mo had a heaven flame, so now that she saw Ye Mo take out another earth flame, she felt quite speechless. This guy was too wealthy.

  “Hmm, the purple flower flame?” the old man and manager said in shock.

  Even in Pill City there were few people who owned rare flames. Yet a nascent soul state level five pill master could take out a purple flower flame? They clearly hadn’t expected this.

  The cauldron filling state master who didn’t expect much from Ye Mo in the beginning immediately started paying more attention.

  With Ye Mo’s level five pill king skills, he didn’t even need to use effort to make blue wen pills. In less than seven minutes, the pills were ready.

  Ye Mo made nine pills and didn’t make any special grade pills. He just made top grade pills.

  “Not bad, you made top grade blue wen pills in such a short time. Your spirit herb refinement is very good, and you have a purple flower flame. You have a bright future ahead of you!” the cauldron filling state master praised happily.

  Ye Mo had intentionally slowed his movements down, but his actions had still seemed to flow like water. The old man was an expert and could tell Ye Mo wasn’t ordinary.

  Even the manager was sure that Ye Mo could concoct heaven grade pills for sure.

  “Okay, concoct another cauldro—” the cauldron filling state cultivator just said this when he took out a communication bead, looked at it, and then his expression turned bad.

  Soon, he put it away and said to the body condensation state cultivator, “Help him apply for a level seven spirit pill master certificate and let him enter next month’s pill king tournament.”

  “Yes, Elder Gu.” The body condensation state man quickly bowed.

  The old man then looked at Ye Mo and said, “After you finish the pill king tournament, come get your pill king verification. I’m sure you should be able to get it. But don’t have too much hopes for the tournament itself, as you’re still rather young after all. But you will have plenty of opportunities in the future, so don’t fret. Young man, I look favorably upon you.”

  The old man said this and then dashed out of the room
