“Brother Mo, I never knew you could refine pills too. Are all humans like you—capable of doing everything?”
Inside the newly established Pill Hall, Liya propped her chin up with both hands on the table, gazing at Mo Tianxiao with undisguised admiration.
Mo Tianxiao calmly waved a hand and said modestly, “Don’t get the wrong idea. Even among humans, someone like me is one of a kind.”
“Hey, what kind of pill is this? What does it do?”
Xuan Bingji casually picked up a golden pill and asked Mo Tianxiao.
Mo Tianxiao glanced at it. “Oh, that’s a Breakthrough Pill I developed specifically for cultivators in the Dao Mastery Realm. It can unconditionally raise a Dao Mastery cultivator by one minor realm.”
“It actually has such an effect? Brother Mo, you really are a genius. Surely this pill doesn’t have any side effects?”
“Uh… Of course it has a side effect. After all, its production cost is only a thousand origin stones, so a little side effect is understandable. But don’t worry, it’s nothing serious.”
“It costs only a thousand origin stones to make, yet you’re selling it for a million each?”
Xuan Bingji stared at the price tag on the pill box in disbelief. A pill with such an incredible effect cost only a thousand origin stones to produce, yet Mo Tianxiao had the nerve to sell it for a million. How many times over was that in profit?
Wasn’t that basically robbery?
“So, what exactly is the side effect?”
“After taking this pill, the user’s cultivation will make no further progress for three thousand years!”
At those words, Xuan Bingji and Liya both opened their mouths wide.
“You—you—you’re a swindler!”
Generally speaking, once a cultivator reached the Dao Mastery Realm, three thousand years was more than enough to break through a minor realm as long as they worked hard. This pill could let someone break through a minor realm instantly, but in exchange, their cultivation would make no progress for the next three thousand years.
“You can’t put it that way. This pill does have a little side effect, but! During those three thousand years, as long as they keep taking my personally refined Cultivation Pills, which cost a hundred thousand origin stones each, their cultivation can still advance.”
“You… Brother Mo, if people find out about this, aren’t you afraid they’ll come after you?”
Liya had never imagined that Mo Tianxiao’s marketing tactics could be so shameless. He was practically a sales genius!
Mo Tianxiao remained completely composed. “Relax. The Breakthrough Pill can only be taken once. As long as someone buys one for the first time, I’ll give them a Cultivation Pill for free.”
“After they experience the accelerated cultivation, they won’t realize there’s a problem for quite some time, even after their cultivation returns to its original state and stops advancing.
“Besides, I believe that after taking my pills, they won’t think about cultivating anymore. They’ll be desperate to make money and buy more pills instead. That’s much faster than cultivating honestly.”
“Brother Mo, you really are a genius! Just like before. Thanks to your plan, even the Voidlands throughout the Feather Spirit Starfield have become much more orderly. Tell us, is there anything you can’t do?”
After witnessing Mo Tianxiao’s methods time and time again, Liya had gradually begun to believe that he was practically omnipotent. No matter what difficulty he encountered, it seemed insignificant before him.
A beautiful smile tugged at the corners of Xuan Bingji’s lips. “There’s one thing he definitely can’t do.”
“What, what is it? Bingji, what is there that Brother Mo can’t do?” Liya asked curiously, her large eyes widening.
Playing with the pill in her hand, Xuan Bingji said seriously, “Have children! There’s no way Fellow Daoist Mo can do that!”
“Eh? Bingji, that’s all? Everyone knows that. Of course Brother Mo can’t give birth to a child.”
Mo Tianxiao stroked his chin, his expression solemn. “I wouldn’t be so sure about that.”
“Huh? Brother Mo, what are you talking about?”
“Nothing. Customers are here. Get ready for business.”
Mo Tianxiao stood up, withdrew behind the scenes, and continued refining pills.
Liya, Xuan Bingji, and quite a few Feather Spirit cultivators were responsible for running the Pill Hall. In return, Mo Tianxiao paid them wages, and they could enjoy any of the pills in the hall free of charge.
The pills had only been on sale for half a day when Xuan Bingji sought Mo Tianxiao out alone.
“It’s broad daylight. How have you gotten more and more…”
Mo Tianxiao looked at Xuan Bingji. “You weren’t like this before.”
“Damn you, what are you thinking? I’m here because I have something serious to tell you.”
Xuan Bingji’s face flushed as she glared at Mo Tianxiao in embarrassment and anger. “I’m going back. I just came to let you know.”
“Going back? To the Black Abyss Python Clan?” Mo Tianxiao’s expression grew more serious.
Xuan Bingji nodded. “Yes. I’ve been away for a long time. The elders of the clan sent word that something seems to have happened recently and told me to return as soon as possible.”
A trace of reluctance showed in Xuan Bingji’s eyes. Although this human was somewhat of a bastard, he was still her man. She might complain about him with her mouth, but her heart certainly didn’t feel the same way.
“I know you don’t want to come back with me. You have your own things to do, and the Feather Spirit Clan values you greatly now, so I won’t put you in a difficult position.”
Xuan Bingji stepped forward and straightened Mo Tianxiao’s clothes, warning him with her eyes. “But remember this, you bastard. Don’t you dare forget me. If you do, I’ll kill you. I mean it.”
Mo Tianxiao reached out and brushed his fingers across Xuan Bingji’s cheek, revealing a gentle smile. “Why are you suddenly saying things like that? You’re only going back for a while. We cultivators have long lifespans. We’ll have plenty of chances to meet again.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll never forget you. Once I’m done dealing with the Feather Spirit Clan’s affairs, I’ll come find you.”
The main reason Mo Tianxiao had remained with the Feather Spirit Clan was that he had finally established a foundation there, and it would be a waste not to make a fortune while he could.
Besides, with the relationship between the Shamo Clan and the Feather Spirit Clan deteriorating, perhaps a little maneuvering on his part would give him a powerful ally when the time came to deal with the Shamo Clan.
“I’ll remember that. If you don’t come, you’re dead!”
With that, Xuan Bingji wrapped her arms around Mo Tianxiao’s waist, lifted him up, and carried him into the resting room.
“Hey, hey, hey! Xuan Bingji, have I been smiling at you too much lately? Put me down!”
He was a full-grown man nearly nine feet tall. What did it mean for a woman to carry him in a bridal hold?
Was the natural order being turned upside down?
While the two of them were busy doing things that couldn’t be shown in public, Liya was still calculating the profits from this batch of pills. The smile on her face was impossible to suppress.
“Alchemists really do make a fortune. It makes even me want to learn alchemy. I just don’t know whether I have the talent for it. I’ll have to find a chance to ask Brother Mo for some guidance.”
“Honestly, Bingji is something else too. Where did she run off to? She abandoned her work halfway through and went off to slack around again. I’ll have to ask Brother Mo to dock her pay!”
Liya counted the money happily while complaining about her best friend’s laziness, completely unaware that her two friends were right under her nose, engaging in activities that concerned billions of living beings.
Before long, a Sovereign Realm elder arranged by the Feather Spirit Clan escorted Xuan Bingji back.
As for Mo Tianxiao, his days of earning villain points continued on, one after another, in an extremely uneventful routine. Every day consisted of refining pills, forging artifacts, and repeating the same tasks endlessly.
That was, until the Shamo Clan sent him an invitation.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

That’s six hundred thousand years a minute, and in one day… I can’t even calculate it. Either way, I’m already invincible!” You’re a peerless prodigy rarely seen in ten thousand years? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re an undying ancestor who has guarded a sacred land for countless ages? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re the strongest chosen one, blessed with heaven-defying destiny? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. From this day forth, I have only one thing to say: “I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. Now, how exactly are you supposed to deal with that?”
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever."
