Chapter 1624: Pay With Your Life for Pill Concoction Failure
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Mo could only rejoice because renting a stall at least meant that he had a place to stay.
The jade card said 569. Five minutes later, Ye Mo and Zhen Bingyu came to their stall.
Although it was just a low grade stall, it was only the location that wasn’t good. At the corner, the immortal spirit chi was quite nice. It was many times better than the low grade deck. This stall had its own level one defense immortal formation. There were also two levels.
There were two rooms next to each other on the second floor, this was perfect for Ye Mo and Zhen Bingyu. There was also a defense immortal formation at level two, but Ye Mo didn’t trust it. He added a defense and barrier formation to level two but didn’t touch the original defense formation and restrictions.
Although these couldn’t block the spirit sense of immortal kings, they could at least let Ye Mo know when people scanned with spirit sense.
Ye Mo had seen the middle deck marketplace, there were quite some people here. At least the immortals used immortal crystals in a completely different way than the immortals at the lower deck. When they saw something they needed they wouldn’t mind buying it. Ye Mo also noticed there were mostly great unity immortals and abstruse immortals here, there were a rare few great extreme immortals and not a single great eternity immortal or golden immortal.
Every second meant immortal crystals in this marketplace, as soon as they came here they were ready to open.
Zhen Bingyu was too heavily injured so Ye Mo didn’t ask her to help and let her rest at level two.
With just half a day of preparation, Ye Mo hung up the sign reading ‘Mo Yue Pill Tower’. It said pill concoction was available for level three and level four immortal pills and that level three and level four pills were sold as well.
Most of the people here were great unity immortals and abstruse immortals, but even if there were a lot of great extreme immortal Ye Mo didn’t dare to easily say he could concoct level five immortal pills.
After half a day, not a single person came. Now, Ye Mo realized how important the stall’s location was. Many people wouldn’t even walk to this corner.
There were many pill towers in the market and Mo Yue was very ordinary. These corner pill towers were pretty much all lower deck immortals coming to resell pills. They didn’t entice the middle deck immortals at all.
A day pa.s.sed like this, not a single person even came to his stall.
Now he realized why the manager looked at him with contempt. He knew that no one would come to visit his stall.
Now, Zhen Bingyu’s essence spirit had pretty much recovered and she could use some spirit sense. Ye Mo helped her make a simple flying chair magic artifact, allowing her to fly a short distance. She flew down to level one.
“I have a way,” Zhen Bingyu said immediately.
“What way?” Ye Mo asked in confusion.
“We can be proactive, make some flyers that state clearly you can concoct level four immortal pills. Then send them out in the market and soon people will come,” Zhen Bingyu said.
Ye Mo shook his head speechlessly. “That’s because you haven’t done business before. We came from the lower deck. Do you see anyone sending out flyers in the market? I think what we’ll be getting from the flyers is trouble, not business.”
Zhen Bingyu immediately realized that if Ye Mo dared to go to other pill towers and steal their business, they wouldn’t be able to stay here anymore.
“What do we do then?” Zhen Bingyu was worried too.
“Wait,” Ye Mo said heavily. He knew he could only wait.
The two didn’t wait for long, someone came on the second day. He didn’t come to buy immortal pills but to collect the stall tax.
It wasn’t much, but it meant Ye Mo had to pay another three thousand immortal crystals.
From the immortal collecting tax, Ye Mo knew that in order to live at the middle deck, one had to pay five million immortal crystals a year. It seemed he was far from being able to live at the middle deck.
And Ye Mo could tell from his tone that it was just the theoretical price. Those immortals from the lower deck wouldn’t be able to simply stay here with just immortal crystals. They would need connections.
There was no business on the second day either. Zhen Bingyu said nothing seeing Ye Mo remain silent, but she didn’t go to cultivate.
Ye Mo was thinking what the chances of survival were if he went into the void with Zhen Bingyu. Ye Mo couldn’t just leave her behind. When should he enter the void? Should he last till the next void storm or use the opportunity to collect asteroids?
These were the only two opportunities of reaching the void on this s.h.i.+p. He could also spend immortal crystals to go to the top deck and watch the view, but Ye Mo could guess that he would only be able to look there. If he could easily jump off then the defense formation of the s.h.i.+p would be too garbage.
“If we really don’t have a way then I’ll give my body to you,” Zhen Bingyu sighed and said upon seeing Ye Mo contemplate for many hours.
Ye Mo was roused by Zhen Bingyu’s words and looked at her in confusion. “You like me?”
“No, there’s only the dao in my heart. I’ve never thought about anything else.” Zhen Bingyu shook her head but continued, “But I’m very grateful to you. You saved me and never gave up on me. I’m thinking that if I’m going to die anyways, then the dao would be out of reach. Since you like l.u.s.t, I don’t mind giving it to you.”
Ye Mo said plainly, “I couldn’t be bothered explaining to you before, but now that you said it, I’ll tell you. To me, it’s not l.u.s.t. That thing can only be done between people who like each other. You never liked me and I never liked you, so you don’t need to bring this thing up again.”
“What is the feeling of liking someone? Do you have someone you like? Is it Nianmei?” Zhen Bingyu didn’t get angry at all.
Ye Mo stood up and said, “I only discuss these things with people I like. I would rather discuss the dao with you. As for Qin Nianmei, I won’t explain the things between her and I, it’s pointless.”
At this moment, a one eyed immortal came to the door, a great unity immortal primary stage.
“You can concoct level four immortal pills here?” the great unity immortal asked immediately.
Ye Mo saluted with his fists. “That’s right qian bei, what level four immortal pills do you need to concoct or what pill do you want to buy?”
The immortal scanned Ye Mo’s loosely filled racks and frowned but didn’t leave. “I have only one All Heaven Star, it can’t go to waste…”
“You want to concoct the Refine Star Pill?” Ye Mo asked heavily.
The immortal nodded approvingly. “That’s right, but it has to succeed and must be a middle grade pill or above. If you fail your life will be taken.”
Then he looked at Ye Mo’s face, Ye Mo’s face didn’t change at all.
Of course Ye Mo was calm. He could concoct level six immortal pills, a mere level four immortal pill was all too easy.
But he didn’t answer immediately. “I guess you’ve been to other pill towers and no one dares to take it right?”
In great immortal cultivation, one might be poisoned with heart demons. The immortals plagued with that would gradually lose their bodies and essence spirits and completely dissipate into thin air. But Refine Star Pills could remedy this. It was only a level four immortal pill, but it was very hard to concoct.
