Chapter 1176: Silver Moon Pill King Being Ambushed

Translator: Timothy_  Editor: mjn0898

TL note: Yue Qichao’s pill king title is Silver Moon Pill King, Shen Guanqing’s pill king title is Guan Tian Pill King 

“Ye Mo, you’re back.” Shen Guanqing saw Ye Mo and the worry in his eyes lessened. Ye Mo could feel Shen Guanqin’s worry for him and felt a little warm. When he was ambushed by the Infinity Sect and Lightning Cloud Sect, most people were keeping their distance with him except for a few friends.

Shen Guanqin just asked this and looked at Ye Mo in daze. “You’re already body condensation state level two, how is that possible?”

“Huh….” Xu Changji was dumbfounded by Ye Mo’s power as well. When he first saw Ye Mo, Ye Mo was only nascent soul state like him. But now, Ye Mo was body condensation state while he was only hollow spirit state level four.

“Yes, Guan Tian pill king qian bei, wan bei had some fortunate encounters and thus my power rose up fast.” But then Ye Mo asked, “Qian bei, where is Silver Moon Pill King qian bei?”

Ye Mo didn’t want to talk much about his power and he was already concerned for Silver Moon Pill King.

A sliver of sadness flashed across Shen Guanqing’s eyes and he said, “Let’s talk about this inside.”

Ye Mo nodded and turned to Xu Changji, “Martial brother, where is Ye Wucai? And how come there’s no one at the city gates?”

Shen Guanqing said, “Ye Mo, don’t worry, Mo Yue City doesn’t seem to have guards on the surface but it’s like Pill City now, there’re two truth realisation state cultivators guarding it.”

“Yes, two truth realisation state qian beis came with Guan Tian city lord qian bei, no one would dare to wreck havoc here, martial brother don’t worry. Ye Wucai is in solitary cultivation trying to reach foundation establishment state,” Xu Changji quickly said.

Ye Mo immediately felt assured. However, he didn’t want Mo Yue City to be managed like Pill City. He wanted Mo Yue City to have its own laws, not a place that was tight on the inside and loose on the outside. There needed to be the same strict laws. Not anyone could come as they please.

Ning Qingxue seemed to know what Ye Mo was thinking and immediately said, “Husband, I will help you later. I will set up a complete residence and law system just like Luo Yue city.”

Xu Changji looked at Ning Qingxue in confusion, he knew about Ye Mo but didn’t know Ning Qingxue. Clearly they were close, or she wouldn’t say something like managing the Mo Yue City.

Ye Mo quickly introduced Ning Qingxue and Luo Ying and them. Then, he arranged Xu Changji and Ning Qingxue to settle the rest of the people before quickly leaving here with Shen Guanqing.

Shen Guanqing brought Ye Mo to the inner most secret room and after opening the restriction, Ye Mo saw the pale faced Yue QIchao. He was shook and asked, “What happened to Silver Moon Pill King?”

He was scared something happened to Yue Qichao and now he was indeed in trouble.

Shen Guanqing closed the restriction and said to Ye Mo, “We were intentionally led out of the Pill City, attacking you was just a supplementary goal.”

Ye Mo’s heart sunk, the two city lords were drawn out of the Pill City indeed. These people’s guts were boundlessly large, they dared to attack Silver Moon Pill King. How could they be afraid of him then?

Ye Mo scanned Silver Moon Pill King with his spirit sense but didn’t see anything amiss. He didn’t ask and waited for Shen Guanqing to explain.

“A year ago, Silver Moon Pill King said he had a sudden feeling and was prepared to break through to level eight pill king, but just before he went into solitary cultivation, he got news and that pill fountain appeared.”

“Pill fountain?” Ye Mo subconsciously interrupted, he had never heard of it.

Shen Guanqing didn’t mind and nodded, “There were pill fountains in the ancient times, it’s normal you haven’t heard of it as it hasn’t appeared for a long time. It’s said that an immortal pill fell on Luo Yue continent and eventually formed a fountain. This fountain was the pill fountain. It’s water can cure all diseases for mortals but can’t be used for pill concoction or used by cultivators.”

“But the pill fountain had a very important use for pill concocters. It’s said that in the ancient times, when a pill king wanted to progress, he needed to go sit at the pill fountain to find enlightenment. This is why there were large amounts of level nine pill kings and even some pill kings that could concoct immortal pills. But eventually, the pill fountain appeared less and less. It’s been more than a thousand years since its last appearance.”

Ye Mo realized and asked, “Qian bei and Silver Moon Pill King knew of this and went there?”

Shen Guanqing nodded, “Yes, when we heard of this news we were very excited and went together.”

Ye Mo knew the pill fountain must be fake, but he just wanted to know who told the two city lords about this.

“You must think the pill fountain is fake.” Shen Guanqing seemed to know what Ye Mo was thinking.

Ye Mo nodded. “Yes, I think there’s someone who intentionally drew the two city lords out.”

But Shen Guanqing shook his head, “The pill fountain is real, it really did appear. Those people who notified us didn’t trick us…”

Shen Guanqing sighed and didn’t continue speaking, he turned to Ye Mo and asked, “Do you know what level the highest level pill king in South Peace State is right now?”

Ye Mo didn’t know why Shen Guanqing suddenly asked this but still replied, “I don’t know for sure but I heard there’s a level eight and level nine pill king in Pill City. They don’t care about matters and only seek the pill dao or the immortal dao.”

Shen Guanqing heard this and sneered, “Do you believe this?”

Ye Mo was dazed – seeking the immortal dao, of course he believes this? Aren’t all cultivators seeking the immortal dao?

Shen Guanqing saw this and said coldly, “Seeking the immortal and pill dao is real, but do you really believe they don’t care about matters?”

Shen Guanqing said again, “There’s no hidden level eight and level nine pill king in the Pill City, but there’s indeed another hidden pill king. He’s only a level seven pill king and he never cared about other matters, at least on the surface. But every year, he takes more than 70% of the Pill City’s level eight and level nine spirit herbs. There are this many pill kings and truth realisation state cultivators in the Pill City as well as the spirit herbs from other places in South Peace State. How many level eight and level nine spirit herbs would that be? How could someone who doesn’t care about matters take away so many spirit herbs?”

Shen Guanqing suddenly got up and clenched his fists. “This much of Pill City’s resources each year is concentrated on him because we respect him to as a qian bei and we never said anything. We even help him collect high level spirit herbs, but we didn’t expect him to attack Silver Moon Pill King.”

Ye Mo felt this was complicated but he remembered Kong Ye telling him that the strongest pill king in South Peace State was only a level seven pill king. It really was so.

Shen Guanqing calmed down and said defeatedly, “The most powerful person in the Pill City isn’t the city lord nor the vice city lord, but the grand city lord. There’s a hard rule in the Pill City, whoever has the strongest pill dao power is the grand city lord. There’s no reason. That person reached level seven pill king earlier than me and Silver Moon Pill King so he’s grand city lord. Only when someone surpasses level seven pill king would the grand city lord be lowered to grand paid guest.”

Ye Mo realized something. It was clearly that grand city lord who harmed Silver Moon Pill King. He was scared that Silver Moon Pill King would reach level eight pill king and thus he would have to give his grand city lord title away.

Perhaps he doesn’t care much about this position, but then he wouldn’t be getting 70% of all Pill City resources. Without that, how could he reach a higher pill king level? How could he seek the immortal dao?

This means it also seemed normal that he was purged. That grand city lord was afraid he would surpass him too.

Silver Moon Pill King and Tian Guan pill king were honest and respectable characters, so even if he reached level eight pill king, they wouldn’t think much and would only be happy for him.

“Silver Moon Pill King qian bei is already truth realisation state power, even if that grand city lord wants to attack him, how would he be able to ambush him?” Ye Mo asked.
