Chapter 354: Chapter 354: The Three Brothers of the Mo Family!

As a Martial Artist of the Foundation Establishment Stage, it was quite simple for Lu Chen to feign deep sleep without being detected.

Therefore, the conversational voices of these Martial Artists entered Lu Chen’s ears without missing a single word.

"Who would have thought that Heavenly Pill Pavilion actually plans to recruit menial disciples... According to Shang Qing, Heavenly Pill Pavilion is indeed not too far from the Imperial City! However, are they recruiting disciples for the purpose of gathering Spiritual Medicine?"

Lu Chen had also gathered Spiritual Medicines before and knew that it was no problem for ordinary Martial Artists to do so.

Perhaps the cultivators of Heavenly Pill Pavilion were too busy with Alchemy, hence they would let Martial Artists take the role of menials.

"Xu Qianqian is the daughter of the Xu Family, and the Xu Family’s holdings are not small either. Could it be that Xu Qianqian also has a chance to join Heavenly Pill Pavilion?"

Lu Chen was determined to cut off Xu Qianqian’s chance of becoming a cultivator; he always had the feeling that Xu Qianqian was far from simple.

Apart from proving their way through martial arts, Martial Artists’ shortcut was to start as menials!

Xu Qianqian, with her profound scheming mind, if truly having no chance to join a second-rate sect like Hehuan Sect, might consider joining Heavenly Pill Pavilion as an alternative!

"I must ruin her chance at the Immortal Path!"

Lu Chen made up his mind.

According to these three Martial Artists, the emissaries from Heavenly Pill Pavilion were scheduled to arrive in the Imperial City tomorrow afternoon to recruit people.

They would start at noon and continue until sunset.

Anyone could take the test.

Lu Chen decided to join in the fun as well, as in his opinion, such affairs would at most be managed by someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

It was even possible that someone at the Qi Refinement Stage would come!

It surely could not be like the Hehuan Sect that sent out five Cultivators at the Core Formation Stage to the state of Qin, could it?

After listening to these three Martial Artists talk about this and that, with the following messages being inconsequential, Lu Chen didn’t pay it much mind, but he didn’t pretend to wake up either.

Not until more than an hour later, when Lu Chen heard them getting up and leaving the room, did he stretch and sit up from the bed.

"Just their words alone aren’t enough to verify the truth; I need to inquire about more news!"

Looking out from the window, the street was already bustling with increased numbers of Martial Artists.

As it was mealtime, the adjacent restaurant was also crowded with people.

"Worthy of being the Imperial City, it’s truly bustling with energy!"

Lu Chen chuckled lightly; Yuzhou City also had Martial Artists, yet it was never this lively.

In the inn’s main hall, just like the restaurant, Lu Chen descended to find those three Martial Artists sitting in a corner of the hall, also by a window facing the street.

Bearded and jocular, the man spotted Lu Chen coming down from upstairs and took the initiative to invite him, "Brother, why don’t you join us for a bite?"

"That would be nice," Lu Chen smiled and didn’t hold back, walking straight over. He saw four small plates of dishes and a jug of cheap liquor on the table, just recently opened, exuding a strong acrid smell of alcohol.

"Come, come, come, I’m short on cash, but I hope brother you won’t mind! We can only eat this kind of wild beast meat and drink this kind of ordinary liquor," said the bearded man, as if he had known Lu Chen for long, pouring Lu Chen a full bowl from an empty one.

Lu Chen smiled and asked, "My name is Lu Chen. How should I address you, brother? Now that we’re sharing a drink together, I ought to know the full names of the three brothers present, don’t you think?"

With a hearty laugh, the bearded man pointed successively at the man in black and the scholar in green, "Mo Dawu, Mo Erwu, they are blood brothers! As for myself, Mo Buwen! I’m also their blood brother, a few years their senior, their elder brother!"

Lu Chen thought to himself that if what Mo Buwen was saying was true, it would mean they were also from a Martial Artist family, similar to the existence of the Lu Family.

Moreover, their family might not be weak; otherwise, how would they know about the news of Heavenly Pill Pavilion recruiting menials?

And excluding Mo Buwen, who was a Martial Artist at the Visceral Refinement Realm, the two brothers were not too different from him.

The three traveling together meant they could almost walk sideways in the mortal world.

Yet they were still so cautious, obviously making early preparations in fear that others might snatch the opportunity to become menials.

But then again, Mo Buwen’s initiative to invite one to eat and drink without cause suggests a hidden motive – either for trickery or thievery!

"So, it’s the three Mo brothers, truly fortunate to meet you. I’ll drink to that!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Chen confidently picked up his bowl and laughed heartily, downing the contents in one gulp. The liquor burned his throat, but for a cultivator like him, it had no effect whatsoever.

Instead, he showed a sense of hearty vigor.

The three Mo brothers all started to feel a good impression of Lu Chen.

As Lu Chen put down his bowl and noticed the change in their expressions, he wiped the corner of his mouth before saying, "If you have something to say, just speak frankly. I’m just passing through the Imperial City and will leave tomorrow!"

Mo Buwen lowered his voice and said, "Brother Lu must be a practitioner of the martial arts as well, right? Our realms are not low, but we can’t determine your level!"

Raising an eyebrow, Lu Chen smiled lightly and responded, "I’m just a novice, having recently reached the Visceral Refinement Realm. However, my family possesses a profound Cultivation Technique that can conceal the Qi within my body, so it’s not strange that Brother Mo and the others are unable to see through it."

"Visceral Refinement Realm is enough," Wen Buhui’s eyes flashed with keenness as he said, "Brother Lu, would you like to enter an Immortal Sect?"
