"Frequent reading can improve your level of Alchemy Dao and insight, and there's a chance it will help you break through the bottlenecks of Alchemy Dao. Consider it an extra gift."

Wang Mu hurriedly accepted it.

To be fair, obtaining the Heavenly Heart Protecting God Pill was already a huge gain. This was purely a freebie. All he had given in return was that counterfeit version of the Immortal Sorrow. By comparison, this Heavenly Heart Protecting God Pill was a Divine Pill that even Ascension Experts could use. Its value was immeasurable. It definitely wasn't a fake. Mo Xilan, although petty at times, was trustworthy about keeping her word.

"Besides, it may be dangerous for you to return to Huangtian Continent alone. You two, use the Four Symbols Divine Furnace to send him back to Huangtian Continent," the old lady said.

"Understood!"

Shortly after the two escorts left with Wang Mu, a paper effigy flew to the Dan King Sect and landed in the grand hall.

"I pay my respects to Immortal Bi You!" said the old lady with a salute upon seeing it.

"How did it go? What's the situation?" the paper effigy inquired indifferently.

"The ancient ancestor says that Wang Mu's success in concocting the Abnormality Spirit Pill was just a fluke," the old lady reported. "We didn't get any useful information out of him."

The paper effigy conveyed its disbelief. "Nice going, Mo Xilan. Are you playing games with me?" It grew so angry that its color changed. "I gave you the information so you could arrange this Alchemy Dao gathering to test him. He came all the way here, and now you tell me you got no useful information? Then why did you have him come to the Dan King Sect in the first place?"

"That Abnormality Spirit Pill is the Immortal Sorrow. I may not know the specifics, but when he helped you find one of the ingredients back then, I also contributed. Don't think I know nothing about it! Now that he has actually concocted it, you're telling me you didn't probe for any useful information? Who are you trying to fool?"

"Spill it, what did you really find out?"

"The ancient ancestor said..." the old lady said helplessly, "as compensation, Great Immortal, you can take anything you want from my Dan King Sect..."

"Do you think I covet those items?"

"Fine, you're petty, and I won't bother arguing with you," the paper effigy snorted coldly. "Even now, you're still thinking about keeping all the benefits for yourself, huh? Just you wait! I'll see what good comes your way in the end!"

With that, the paper effigy flew away.

「Huangtian Continent.」

"Little fellow Daoist, this is where we part ways," Chen Feng and Shen Jiao said to Wang Mu, offering a salute.

"Hold on," Wang Mu thought for a moment, then fished out several well-preserved fish from his Space Bracelet. "I don't have much of value on me, and you certainly wouldn't care for elixirs. The only things of some value are these Divine Fish. If you don't mind, I would like to gift them to you two."

These were fellow Daoists from the Dan King Sect. It was crucial to make connections; he couldn't miss this opportunity! Perhaps in the future, he might even get some advance warning about certain matters.

"Eh, this is the Heavenly Immortal Fish..." Shen Jiao recognized it at a glance, her eyes shining. "Isn't this the Divine Fish rumored to live beneath the Linglong Love Abyss in Huangtian Continent? How did you come to possess such a creature?"

"I'm quite good at fishing and came across it by chance..." Wang Mu explained.

"This is indeed a treasure!" Chen Feng exclaimed. "Such a fish could be made into many Spirit Pills if used as a medicinal ingredient. And this one, isn't this the reputed Green Flying Thistle Fish, said to detoxify all poisons upon consumption? It's said to only grow in extremely toxic and yin-aspected places! How do you have such a Divine Fish?"

"In my Dan King Sect, only two Great Saints have ever managed to obtain a couple of these... truly rare indeed!" Chen Feng was referring to the silver-white Spirit Fish that Wang Mu had caught from the hidden cave in the Blissful Shuiyun Stream.

The other type of fish increased poison resistance just by eating it.

However, to escape that Poison Pond back then, he had eaten most of them... Only these Spirit Fish were left.

"I came across them by chance..." Wang Mu repeated.

There was a rationale behind gifting these two fish. The two seemed like a couple, so giving them a Red Line Mandarinfish would clearly be inappropriate. Although Shen Jiao was beautiful, she was evidently not on the same level as the Demoness of the Fengyue Sect. Thus, the Heavenly Immortal Fish was a more suitable gift. As for this Green Flying Thistle Fish, Wang Mu didn't even recognize it, so he decided to give it away as well. After all, fish caught from special fishing spots were sure to be extraordinary.

"Very good! Very good!" Chen Feng accepted the fish, thrilled. "Brother Wang, when I use this fish to concoct Spirit Pills in the future, I will definitely send some your way!"

See how quickly the friendship level rose? Instantly, he went from 'fellow Daoist' to 'Brother Wang.' Fishing is indeed the best skill in the world! For Pill Masters of the Dan King Sect like these, offering Magic Treasures or elixirs would be redundant, as they likely had plenty. Moreover, their status was certainly not low! Giving them something rare evidently had a better effect!

"Then, Brother Wang, we shall part ways here. If there's anything in the future, Chen Feng and I will be in touch," Shen Jiao said delightedly. She exchanged a glance with Chen Feng and then re-entered the Four Symbols Divine Furnace, vanishing into thin air with a SWISH.

This journey has been a perfect success! Wang Mu took a deep breath, initiated Sword Flight, and headed back to the Sword Sect.

The Dan King Sect was indeed thorough in their dealings. They sent him directly back to Huangtian Continent, not far from the Sword Sect. If he had been in Qianzhou, Wang Mu would have had to find his way back alone, which would have been hazardous. A mere Qi Refining Realm little cultivator...

In less than half a day, Wang Mu returned to his Sect.

Regarding the Heavenly Heart Protecting God Pill, Wang Mu did not bring it out for Master Wu to examine.

The reason was simple. This Divine Pill was personally concocted by Mo Xilan and was of such a high grade that Wang Mu felt Master Wu's level wouldn't be high enough to detect any issues, even if there were some.

Next, I just need to wait for Yan Qingwu to finish her closed-door cultivation, then give this to her.
