74: Chapter 74 Who exactly leaked the recipe for the Breakthrough Pill?

"What are you standing there blankly for?"

"Why aren't you helping yet?"

Zhao Mo: "Oh, oh, oh~"

Neither of them noticed that the moment the Lightning Tribulation broke through the Formation of Tianfeng Valley, a shadow flashed past Leisurely Residence.

Ox Martial, inside the cow shed, looked at Leisurely Residence in bewilderment.

"What are this couple up to again? They actually attracted the Yin Spirit of the Xuan Sect."

Seeing the Yin Spirit turn its gaze toward the cow shed, it hurriedly turned around, thinking to itself, "I saw nothing."

Fourteen days later.

The sound of thunder rang out over Leisurely Residence once again.

Nine hundred catties of Spirit Medicine and materials yielded forty-three Medicinal Pills.

The obstacle breaking pill was, after all, a Medicinal Pill to help a Foundation Establishment Cultivator achieve a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage, so it still belonged to the Foundation Establishment Stage; otherwise, Ding Xin would not have dared to refine them in such batches.

"Let's go, let's go sell the Medicinal Pills."

Zhao Mo grabbed Ding Xin,

"Don't rush, let's find another Foundation Establishment Immortal Master to test the pill first."

"That works too~"

Spiritual Plant Peak.

Tong Weiping looked at Zhao Mo,

"Junior Brother Zhao, you never visit without a reason. Do you have some new spirit plants, or perhaps some new ideas?"

Zhao Mo shook his head,

"Senior Brother is joking. Cultivating new spirit plants is all down to luck; it's something you encounter by chance, not by seeking."

"I came to Spiritual Plant Peak today to ask Senior Brother Tong if there are any Foundation Establishment Cultivators at the ninth layer on Spiritual Plant Peak preparing to achieve a Golden Core Breakthrough."

"I have an obstacle breaking pill to offer."

Tong Weiping frowned and looked at Zhao Mo,

"You..."

"Why do you want to wade into these muddy waters?"

"Do you know how many people go missing every year in the Xuan Sect because of this obstacle breaking pill?"

Before Zhao Mo could even explain, Tong Weiping had already guessed the gist of it.

"Senior Brother Tong, it's no big deal."

"Because of the hybrid spirit rice and the enlightenment spirit wine, I am already locked in a life-or-death struggle with them. Adding an obstacle breaking pill to the mix doesn't matter."

"Once you have too many debts, you don't worry about them."

"Let's just do it."

Tong Weiping sighed: "That's different. The Alchemy path of the Xuan Sect has always been regarded by them as a private preserve, and they do not allow anyone to touch it."

"As far as I know, most of those who touch it either die or leave; not one has had a good ending."

"Are you sure you want to poke this hornet's nest?"

When Tong Weiping said this, Ding Xin's expression changed.

"Forget it, let's just sell a little secretly and make some pocket money."

"The Liu Clan has a massive foundation; if we can't afford to offend them, can't we just hide from them?"

Tong Weiping looked at Ding Xin with appreciation,

"That's the right way to think."

"By the way, did you really refine the obstacle breaking pill?"

Zhao Mo: "It's the genuine article."

"Alright then. There is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator on Spiritual Plant Peak named Wei Feifei. He cultivated arduously for one hundred and sixty years to reach the ninth layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Because his Aptitude is limited, all his resources were poured into the Foundation Establishment Stage."

"He currently cannot afford an obstacle breaking pill. If the two of you are willing, would you gift him one?"

Ding Xin wanted to speak, but Zhao Mo cut in: "Senior Brother Tong is joking."

"He has no relation to us; why should we gift him a Medicinal Pill?"

While saying this, he handed an obstacle breaking pill to Tong Weiping.

"I cannot gift it to him, but gifting it to Senior Brother is no problem at all."

"Please do not refuse it, Senior Brother."

Zhao Mo's maneuver left Tong Weiping dumbfounded and laughing,

"You have so many devious tricks."

"Fine, fine. I will accept this Medicinal Pill and let you know the result in a few days."

Tong Weiping took the obstacle breaking pill and added: "However, his Aptitude is not high. If the Breakthrough fails, I'm afraid it will be hard to see the effect."

Zhao Mo: "Hmm?"

Very well, Senior Brother Tong, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, has also learned to speak in riddles, but is he, Zhao Mo, the type of person to be stingy?

"Both Immortal Master Ding and I have already achieved the Golden Core Stage. These obstacle breaking pills are of no use to us, so I will gift them all to Senior Brother Tong."

Ding Xin had refined five obstacle breaking pills the first time, and forty-three the second time. Ding Xin had eaten one, one had just been gifted to Wei Feifei, and Zhao Mo gave all the remaining forty-six to Tong Weiping.

Looking at the forty-six jade bottles in front of him, Tong Weiping finally truly believed that Zhao Mo really knew the Pill Formula for the obstacle breaking pill.

"If it were just one, I would have taken it. But this is too much. Forty-six pills—according to the prices at the Liu Clan Apothecary, that is over twenty-seven thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones."

"You keep them with me for now, and if someone..." Tong Weiping stopped there.

He exchanged a smile with Zhao Mo; some things cannot be said too clearly.

"In that case, thank you, Senior Brother Tong."

Returning to Tianfeng Valley,

Zhao Mo pulled Ding Xin to Cultivate for a long time.

Just kidding, the whole year was spent in Alchemy, aren't you going to compensate your Uncle Zhao?

...

[You have completed planting the golden marrow fruit, EXP +20.]

Ever since the obstacle breaking pill was given to Tong Weiping, there had been no news.

Zhao Mo was not in a hurry and started planting the golden marrow fruit with Ding Xin.

"Hehe, Junior Brother Zhao."

Every year at this time, Li Feng would always appear mysteriously.

"You aren't going to again?"

"Shh~"

Li Feng hurriedly pressed his hand over Zhao Mo's mouth and looked at the sky cautiously.

"Remember, hurry up and grind it into ashes."

"If you get caught, I will not admit to anything."

Zhao Mo looked at the clean-shaven Three-Colored Deer skeleton in front of him and was completely speechless.

So, you, this great Nascent Soul True Lord at the eighth layer, are just at odds with Heartless Valley.

It is said that Heartless Valley has no more than fifty Three-Colored Deer; looking at Li Feng, it seems he wants to eat them to extinction.

"Senior Brother Li, they say that to forgive others is to forgive oneself. You, this..."

"Is it really necessary?"

"Hmph, for a sword Cultivator, it is better to take the straight path than to seek through the crooked."

"I am just determined to wear them down."

Li Feng's stubbornness was completely beyond Zhao Mo's expectations. Are you just being narrow-minded?

He wanted to persuade him further, but where was Li Feng's figure?

"Sigh~"

"It looks like you'll have to pray for your own good fortune."

Zhao Mo did not think well of Li Feng; can one man against a group of women end well?

After grinding the Three-Colored Deer skeleton into powder, Zhao Mo started grumbling at Ox Martial again.

"You Dead Ox, only this much in a whole year? I don't see you eating less usually? Did you digest it all?"

"But I don't see you getting fat?"

Ox Martial was covered in black lines; if he hadn't finished comprehending the Thick Earth Immortal Scripture, he would have wanted to kick Zhao Mo to death.

With higher cultivation, one naturally eats and drinks less, so the waste produced is naturally less. What is strange about that?

Zhao Mo had just finished making compost,

when a Disciple from Spiritual Plant Peak came to invite Zhao Mo.

"Junior Martial Uncle Zhao, please go and see Master Tong quickly; he has been injured by someone."

When Zhao Mo arrived at Spiritual Plant Peak and saw Tong Weiping with a golden face, he was shocked.

"Senior Brother Tong, what happened to you?"

Tong Weiping said: "It was my carelessness. I thought that just selling a few obstacle breaking pills would not attract the attention of the Liu Clan."

"I thought too highly of them."

"I didn't expect that as soon as I left the Xuan Sect, I would be besieged by a group of Nascent Soul True Lords. Fortunately, I was not far from the Xuan Sect, otherwise..."

"What you would be seeing now would be my Nascent Soul."

"The Liu Clan again?"

"Very well. I originally intended to sell a few Medicinal Pills to earn some pocket money. Since they are so heartless, don't blame me for being unrighteous."

Tong Weiping pulled Zhao Mo,

"Don't be impulsive~"

"Also, you must not leave the Xuan Sect casually."

Zhao Mo said: "Rest assured, Senior Brother Tong, I have my own sense of judgment."

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Pill Formula for the obstacle breaking pill, along with detailed Alchemy steps, was circulating throughout the entire Xuan Sect.

On Fuyu Peak, Liu Yaozhen looked at the Pill Formula and Alchemy steps in his hand, his face so gloomy that water could drip from it.

"Go investigate, who exactly leaked the Pill Formula for the obstacle breaking pill?"
