First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 137: Master Mo Shen

Wow, Shen Mo exclaimed.

Connecting the upstream and downstream, integrating the industrial chain, it makes sense when you think about it.

The Baodan Pavilion has been dealing with alchemists all year round, and it's inevitable that some people would find selling pills troublesome. They would casually ask the shopkeeper, "Do you buy pills?"

With more people asking, the pill shop would naturally open.

It's actually quite easy to handle.

Shen Mo took out boxes of sealed spirit pills from his Qiankun bag and spread them out in front of the shopkeeper, saying, "These are all good quality second-grade spirit pills."

"There are mostly Fumo Pills, Dapeiyuan Pills, Longli Pills, and Ganlin Pills, with mostly perfect quality and some exceptional ones."

"If you offer a fair price, I can also provide you with Ascension Pills and Soul Nurturing Pills, which are perfect and even exceptional in the future!"

"How about it? Can these spirit pills catch the shopkeeper's eye?"

The short and fat shopkeeper's cultivation level was not high, but he had been immersed in this field for many years and had dealt with countless alchemical materials and finished pills.

Naturally, he could tell the quality of these spirit pills!

"Too good! If these don't catch my eye, then I must be blind." The shopkeeper's face was all smiles as he picked up the Fumo Pill and smelled it, then leaned over to smell the Dapeiyuan Pill.

Although he had been running a pill shop for many years, he had rarely received such high-quality second-grade spirit pills.

Firstly, there were very few third-grade alchemists to begin with.

Secondly, alchemists of this level pursued higher alchemical attainments.

Although there were alchemists specializing in producing perfect quality pills of a lower grade, they were few in number.

Thirdly, most of the perfect and even exceptional spirit pills were consumed internally by major sects and wealthy immortal clans, so the quantity circulating in Jiyun Town was limited.

Now that he had obtained this batch of high-quality second-grade spirit pills, not only could he make a profit, but more importantly, he could establish the reputation of "Ascension Pill Shop"!

The short and fat shopkeeper warmly welcomed even a junior at the Body Tempering stage.

Not to mention that in his eyes, Shen Mo was like a god of wealth.

He served him spirit tea and snacks, flattered him, and almost made Shen Mo think that he was some kind of important figure.

However, no matter how much the shopkeeper tried to bewitch him, Shen Mo firmly held onto the price of the spirit pills and didn't budge.

After a heated debate, Shen Mo managed to secure a fairly reasonable price, which was ten percent cheaper than if he had sold them himself at a stall.

After all, retailing at a stall was different from selling in bulk to a shop.

In this deal, he received eleven medium-grade spirit stones and forty-five low-grade spirit stones.

During the process, the short and fat shopkeeper intentionally or unintentionally revealed his family background.

He came from the Qian Clan Immortal Clan, and his younger brother was an inner disciple of the Linjiang Sect, who had joined the most prestigious Xuri Peak for cultivation.

He also had an uncle from the clan who was an elder in the Linjiang Sect's Linghai Realm.

However, his own cultivation talent was poor, so he took over the family business and started managing the Baodan Pavilion.

As for the Ascension Pill Shop, he hired people from the Qian Clan to help manage it, but he was still the one in charge.

He lived a fairly comfortable life.

Shen Mo didn't think much of it.

This shopkeeper Qian had the support of his uncle in the Linghai Realm and the background of the Qian Clan Immortal Clan, which allowed him to thrive.

But his own strength was not strong. For now, he could at most get a share of the benefits.

After he passed away, these two shops would either fall into the hands of his uncle or be taken away by his younger brother.

But Shen Mo didn't need to worry about these things for him.

After the shopkeeper brought up his background, he began to probe the source of Shen Mo's batch of second-grade spirit pills and the identity of the alchemist behind them.

He still remembered that Shen Mo had bought an entry-level alchemy cauldron and looked like someone who had just started learning alchemy.

He couldn't possibly think that Shen Mo was the alchemist who refined this batch of spirit pills.

It can only be said that he was shortsighted!

This just happens to fulfill Shen Mo's intentions.

However, he deliberately pretended to be dissatisfied and said angrily, "Qian, are you trying to steal my master's idea?"

"Oh, I wouldn't dare to say that..."

Qian quickly shook his head and denied, "If we promote the brand of the alchemist, we can sell the elixirs at a higher price in the future."

Indeed, there is such a rule in the alchemist profession.

Highly skilled alchemists usually engrave their names on the boxes and jade bottles containing the elixirs.

The more famous they are, the more sought after their elixirs become.

Of course, this only applies to alchemists of the second rank or higher.

Even a nameless elixir or a common first-grade elixir, if labeled with the alchemist's brand, would be a laughingstock.

After hearing Qian's explanation, Shen Mo pretended to "calm down" and began to complain to him.

"Lately, when I set up my stall, I often notice malicious glances."

"And there are people who directly target me, wanting to capture and imprison me, making me their alchemy slave!"

"I am selling elixirs for my master. As a lowly nameless alchemist, how could I produce excellent second-grade elixirs?"

"Only my master, Mo Shen, has such profound alchemy skills!"

While comforting Shen Mo, Qian accurately captured the information he wanted.

"Mo Shen!"

Qian exclaimed, excitedly asking, "You said your master is Mo Shen?"

"The one who broke Zhao Lingyin's record in the Pill Tower and is famous in the Dan Domain of the Linjiang Sect?"

...

"Yes, my master is indeed Mo Shen."

Although Shen Mo's face and expression were hidden by a black hat and robe, Qian could still hear the pride and self-importance in his tone.

Although Qian was not from the Dan Domain, his immortal clan had close ties to the Linjiang Sect and he was familiar with the industry trends as he worked in this field.

Breaking Zhao Lingyin's record in the Linjiang Sect's Dan Domain, the low-key and mysterious Mo Shen truly deserved the title of a master alchemist.

Once Mo Shen's brand was established...

Not to mention ordinary customers, even other alchemists who heard the news would flock to his elixir shop.

Qian's smile became even brighter.

He said that he would organize a grand "Elixir Appreciation Conference" specifically to evaluate the works of the master alchemist Mo Shen.

He also requested Shen Mo to attend the conference as a "disciple of Mo Shen."

Naturally, Shen Mo firmly and resolutely refused!

What a joke!

He was still being hunted by Zhao Lingyin, with a reward of two thousand low-grade spirit stones, posted on the mission board in the steward's hall!

As soon as the "disciple of Mo Shen" appeared at the conference, she would immediately come to kill him...

That would only bring more trouble.

The current situation was enough, just stick the label of the "money tree" on the head of the master alchemist "Mo Shen."

Those malicious people wouldn't dare to break into the Dan Domain to kidnap Mo Shen, right?

Even if they did, it wouldn't matter!

They would find out that no one knew who Mo Shen was.

Hey, surprised or not surprised?

To confirm Mo Shen's true identity, they must first find the "disciple of Mo Shen."

But then another problem arises.

No one knows who the "disciple of Mo Shen" is, right?

Double the surprise and unexpectedness!
