Immortality Starts From Making Money.

[Congratulations! The mission is completed.]

[Reward: 500,000 IP Earned.]

Looking at the notification, a light smile hung at the corner of his lips.

It had been over a week since they arrived at the Imperial Capital and today was the seventh day they opened the Golden Phoenix Restaurant.

Now, everyone knew of the Golden Phoenix Restaurant.

Every day, the Golden Phoenix Restaurant was always full of people. Many were even complaining that their restaurant was too small.

As for their enemies, the moment Broken Blade made his appearance, those that wanted to cause trouble for them vanished into thin air.

Although he knew this was temporary, he couldn't help but be pleased.

Curious, he checked his stats.

'Huh! I'm only three thousand short of meeting my goal.' He mused, and his face flashed with anticipation.

With his rising fame, the system had begun to reduce the number of missions. If not, he would have long met his goal.

Knock! Knock!

Light knocks came from the door, jolting him out of his thoughts. He looked at the door and commanded.

"Come in!"

The door was pushed open and three people entered.

"Please take a seat." He pointed at the couch and took a sip from his Spirit Tea.

"When will the sect arrive?" Mo Jian asked, looking at Zhao Tian.

"They should arrive by tomorrow if nothing goes wrong." Zhao Tian responded calmly.

The Assembly Summit would start in three days and every invited sect had begun to arrive one after the other.

Most of the sects would have arrived if not for the terror of the Desert of Fallen.

Learning from their experience, Mo Jian and Elder Bai had already come up with a solution.

The Shock Bomb.

Using the Shock Bomb would make it impossible for the Desert Scorpion or the Sandbone Worm to locate their position.

Three days ago, the Old Withered man and some Peak Core Refining Guards had gone to the Desert of Fallen to test the Shock Bomb.

Also, to wait for the Dust Valley Sect.

Using the Shock Bomb, they passed through the Desert of Fallen without encountering either the Desert Scorpion or Sandbone Worm.

With the Shock Bomb, Mo Jian could finally breathe a sigh of relief and welcome his parents without worrying about their safety.

"Elder Bai, how was it?" Mo Jian shifted his gaze to him.

"Done, Young Master." Elder Bai responded and took out an ordinary-looking beast skin mask from his storage pouch.

Looking at the beast skin mask, both Zhao Tian and Elder Li Huang were confused.

Before they could ask what was going on, Elder Bai put the beast skin mask on his face.

The moment he placed the mask on his face, his body changed together with his aura.

"What!" Zhao Tian exclaimed with his jaw dropped.

Elder Bai was gone, seated on the seat was Elder Luo Zhen–the Refining Hall elder.

Watching the transformation, Mo Jian nodded, pleased with the result.

Looking at Elder Luo Zhen, no one would be able to tell this was just a disguise.

Except for those above the Golden Core Realm, this disguise would work on anyone.

Whoosh!

Elder Bai removed the mask and he returned to his original self.

"This is crazy!" Elder Li Huang said in amazement.

"For us to survive, we must be prepared for what is to come." Mo Jian responded seriously.

Everyone nodded.

Everyone knew how dangerous venturing outside the restaurant was.

If not for Mo Jian's planning and anticipation, they would have been in a bind by now.

Half of the team lived in the restaurant while the other half stayed separately in the capital.

With their Spirit Link, they could communicate easily.

Thus, this allowed them to avoid many pitfalls. Although Broken Blade could protect the restaurant, could he protect all the Thousand Wealth Chamber members?

The answer was no.

Thus, Mo Jian made a counter plan.

"Elder Li, I believe you should have something important to show me?" Mo Jian asked.

"Yes, Young Master." She responded with a smile.

Since she became part of the group, she believed she had not contributed enough.

Although she created artifacts that could aid alchemists and improve many pill recipes.

She was not satisfied.

But now, a confident smile plastered on her face.

Elder Li Huang took out a pill bottle from her storage pouch and gave it to Mo Jian.

"Young Master, this is the game changer." She announced, her voice filled with pride.

Confused, everyone looked at her, waiting for her to continue.

"Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm would breeze from now with the Nine Aperture Opening Pill."

She announced.

For a moment, no one spoke as they stared at Elder Li Huang, trying to comprehend what she meant.

"A-Are you saying…" Mo Jian's voice trembled.

"Yes, Young Master. Taking the Nine Aperture Opening Pill would allow those at the Peak of Core Refining Realm to break through to the Golden Core Realm."

"Hahaha!" Elder Bai burst into laughter.

Mo Jian also joined him in laughing. This was going to change everything.

Zhao Tian was also grinning. Everyone understood the importance of the Nine Aperture Opening Pill.

Why could the Imperial Capital lord over other regions? Simple. Because they had many experts in the Golden Core Realm.

Previously, the Western Region did not have a single Golden Core Realm expert. Not because they were not talented but there weren't enough resources.

With a complete Earth Grade cultivation technique and the Nine Aperture Opening Pill, their chamber could produce Golden Core Experts as if they were nothing.

With many experts under their banner, who would stop their rise?

"Have you tested the pill?" Mo Jian asked with a bright smile.

"Yes, one of the guards volunteered to test the pill." Elder Li Huang replied confidently.

Mo Jian was merely asking; with the alchemy artifacts at Elder Li Huang's disposal, he knew it was impossible for her to fail.

"Hhhaa. No one can stop our rise." Mo Jian announced, rising to his feet, looking at the bustling street below.
