Zhen Shaoru said proudly, "Isn't the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition starting soon? Many pill refiners are gathered here. I heard that one of the Heaven Seeking Palace's pill refiners started a pill dao exchange, and all pill refiners are qualified to participate in this exchange … "
Before Zhen Shaoru could finish, Mo Wuji asked in surprise, "You're asking me to participate in this exchange?"
"Yes, are you going?"
Mo Wuji did not hesitate to answer, "Yes, of course I'm going. We're leaving now."
Even if it wasn't a Heaven Seeking Palace pill refiners' exchange, Mo Wuji would still go. Now that it involved the Heaven Seeking Palace, he naturally wanted to go take a look.
Zhen Shaoke took out a green jade token and passed it to Mo Wuji, "Wuji, this is your token for participating in the competition. Without this token, you and Shaoru might not be able to enter."
…
After arriving at the Heaven Seeking Palace encampment, Mo Wuji finally understood why the Heaven Seeking Palace was the voice of the Lost Continent.
Even though the plaza in the periphery of the Five Elements Desolate Domain was huge, there were many sects and people here. In reality, every piece of space around the plaza was extremely popular.
Not only did the Heaven Seeking Palace encampment occupy the best spot in the plaza, it was also close to the centre of the plaza. Not only that, it was also the largest of all the sects.
Even though it was a temporary encampment, the grandeur was much more impressive than some sects' encampments.
"What do you think, the Heaven Seeking Palace is impressive right? If I'm able to obtain a Flower of the True Gods in the Five Elements Desolate Domain, I'll also have the chance to enter the Heaven Seeking Palace, "Zhen Shaoru said proudly.
Mo Wuji thought to himself, this fella really doesn't worry about anything. Could it be that he was so sure that he would be able to obtain a placing? One must know that if he did not obtain a placing, according to Zhen Shaoke and the Second House Master's discussion, Zhen Shaoru would not have the chance to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain.
"Are the two of you here to participate in the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Refiner Exchange?" At the Heaven Seeking Palace's outermost entrance, a service disciple blocked the two's path.
Mo Wuji already knew who Zhen Shaoru was, so he hurriedly took out his green jade token and said, "Yes, we're from the Nine Moons Pill House …"
"Go in." This disciple didn't even look at Mo Wuji's jade token as he directly let him in.
Zhen Shaoru said proudly, "You don't have to be so restrained. He probably knows that I'm the Young House Master of the Nine Moons Pill House, so he gave me some face."
Mo Wuji was speechless. This Zhen Shaoru really thought too highly of himself. He was sure that the Outer Sect disciples didn't know who they were, much less Zhen Shaoru, because there were no checks here. As long as he knew that he was here to participate in the Alchemist Exchange, it would be fine. Clearly, the Heaven Seeking Palace had a friendly attitude towards the pill refiners participating in this competition.
After entering the door, there was an arrow with the words "Alchemist Exchange Meeting" written on it pointing to the left. After walking for about 10 metres, Mo Wuji and Zhen Shaoru arrived at the entrance of a spacious hall.
Before Mo Wuji could say anything, someone had already opened the door.
The two of them arrived at the main hall. There were already hundreds of people inside.
There were all sorts of fruits placed in every corner of the hall. Mo Wuji casually took a look and found out that many of these fruits were Tier 1 spiritual fruits.
The wealth of the Heaven Seeking Palace could be seen at a glance. Zhen Shaoru's eyes lit up when he saw these spiritual fruits. He took a few steps forward, grabbed a few spiritual fruits and started munching on them.
"Not bad, not bad. These are spiritual fruits, and they're free. Wuji, come and have a few too. "This fella had the attitude that it would be a waste not to eat. As he ate, he called out to Mo Wuji.
A few disdainful gazes swept over, but Mo Wuji acted as though he did not see them. He directly walked over, grabbed a spiritual fruit and started eating. Even though he could afford to eat this type of spiritual fruit, he rarely ate it. Other than giving some to Yan 'Er, the majority of the spiritual fruits that he obtained were used to concoct pills.
As for Zhen Shaoru, even if you gave him 10,000 disdainful gazes, it would still be a blind act. He did not even know what disdainful gazes were. He only knew that he would eat whatever he liked.
Just as Mo Wuji ate a spiritual fruit, he heard a loud commotion coming from the centre of the hall. He hurried over to take a look. A young man seemed to be explaining some pharmacological knowledge, and the people around him applauded enthusiastically.
Mo Wuji hurriedly said to Zhen Shaoru, "I'll go over to take a look. You eat first."
He naturally came here to learn some medicinal knowledge. Now that someone was taking the initiative to explain, he naturally would not miss this opportunity.
After squeezing through the crowd, Mo Wuji finally got a clear look at the pill refiner. What puzzled him was that this pill refiner did not seem to be much older than him. He looked to be at most 22 or 23 years old. His looks were average. However, his head of red hair and the cauldron shaped imprint on his forehead left a deep impression.
This person was explaining the relationship between the quality of hand techniques and the formation of pills. His explanation was not very useful to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was very familiar with both hand techniques and pill techniques. Moreover, his usage of hand techniques was slightly different from what this person was explaining.
Looking at the surrounding pill refiners who were listening with fiery expressions, Mo Wuji carefully pulled a fat pill refiner beside him, "Friend, may I ask who is this pill refiner explaining to everyone?"
This fat pill refiner was listening like a madman. After being pulled by Mo Wuji, he was infuriated. When he heard Mo Wuji's question, he momentarily forgot to flare up. Staring at Mo Wuji with wide eyes, he asked in disbelief, "It can't be, you don't even know who Cauldron Lord is?"
Mo Wuji hurriedly patted the fat man's shoulder and whispered, "Old brother, I'm not in the pill refining industry, so I'm not as knowledgeable as you. Please enlighten me."
Hearing that Mo Wuji was not a pill refiner and was so respectful to him, the fat man nodded his head in satisfaction, "Then let me teach you. Cauldron Lord's surname is Zhang …"
This fat man's nondescript introduction almost made Mo Wuji laugh out loud. Fortunately, he knew that this fat pill refiner was saying this out of respect for Cauldron Lord.
"... Because when he was born, there was a cauldron shaped imprint on his forehead. After the number one pill sect in the Tian Shang Empire, the Heavenly Drug Sect, heard of this, they specially brought him away and named him Zhang Ding. Cauldron Lord became a Tier 1 Mortal Pill Refiner at the age of 10, a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner at the age of 11, a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner at the age of 13, and a Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner at the age of 16. As long as it's related to the Pill Dao, he would be able to learn it in the shortest time possible. In the Pill Dao world, we all respectfully call him Cauldron Lord … "
Hearing this, Mo Wuji finally understood this fella's glorious origins. Indeed, he shone from birth.
After the fat man gave Mo Wuji a simple introduction, he could no longer be bothered with Mo Wuji and continued to listen to Zhang Ding's explanation of pill refining.
As someone who was born with a cauldron imprint on his forehead, Mo Wuji also wanted to listen to his insights on pill refining.
"... This is just my understanding of pill refining techniques. Ordinary Tier 3 Mortal Pills can be concocted using pill refining techniques, and can even be concocted into high quality pills. However, there is a type of pill that no matter how strong your cultivation is, you will not be able to solve it with hand techniques … "
Zhang Ding's words were so convincing that even Mo Wuji could not help but be drawn in.
"Cauldron Lord, what kind of pill can't be solved with hand techniques?" Someone immediately asked.
Zhang Ding nodded, "That's a good question. This pill is the spiritual will pill. It can condense and strengthen one's spiritual will. "
"Isn't spiritual will something that can only be cultivated after reaching the Nihility God Stage and forming a primordial spirit? This should be the Earth Spirit Pill right? "Someone in the crowd asked.
"What do you know? I've only heard of a Tier 3 spiritual will pill. It's just that the pill formula is incomplete."
Zhang Ding waved his hand and said in a clear voice, "That friend is right. There is indeed a Tier 3 spiritual will pill. This pill is called the Spirit Strengthening Pill. The incomplete pill formula can be found everywhere, but the complete pill formula has been lost. I've heard that this pill can help cultivators below the Nihility God Stage, and even those below the Yuan Dan Stage to condense their spiritual will. "
The crowd of pill refiners broke out into murmurs of pity. Zhang Ding continued, "It can be said that the Spirit Strengthening Pill is one of the most precious Tier 3 Mortal Pills. It can even be ranked in the top 3 of all Tier 3 Mortal Pills.
Mo Wuji thought to himself. He did not expect the Spirit Strengthening Pill's pill formula to be so valuable. Fortunately, he did not casually take out the Spirit Strengthening Pill's pill formula. Otherwise, he would have been in grave danger.
The crowd of pill refiners started to feel even more pity. At this moment, Zhang Ding continued, "The loss of the Spirit Strengthening Pill is not only a huge blow to us Mortal Pill Refiners, it is also a huge restriction to cultivators below the Nihility God Stage. A cultivator with Spiritual Force and a cultivator without Spiritual Force were on two completely different levels. I've heard that cultivators below the Nihility God Stage can also cultivate spiritual will in the Five Elements Desolate Domain. From this, we can see that if we were to compare the cultivators of the two continents, our Lost Continent pales in comparison. "
Following Zhang Ding's words, there were more and more people who excitedly expressed their desire to find the Spirit Strengthening Pill and contribute to the Lost Continent.
Zhang Ding used his hand to silence the crowd. He raised his voice and said excitedly, "To make up for the loss of the Spirit Strengthening Pill, I spent a few years researching a pill formula that can strengthen one's spiritual will. Even though this pill formula is not as good as the Spirit Strengthening Pill to cultivate spiritual will, it can still improve one's spiritual will over a long period of time … "
"Clap clap clap …" Another round of enthusiastic applause sounded. Following which, someone asked for the name of the pill formula.
"Cauldron Lord, you're the most talented pill refiner of the younger generation in the Lost Continent. You're also the young pill refiner who has contributed the most to us cultivators."
"Yes, if Cauldron Lord did not research this pill formula, he would have been a Tier 5 Earth Pill Refiner long ago."
…
Waves of agreement sounded from the crowd. The crowd of pill refiners was getting more and more excited.
Zhang Ding once again used his hand to silence the crowd and said, "I'm ashamed, ashamed. If we're talking about the most talented pill refiner of the younger generation, I think it's Heaven Seeking Palace Pill Pagoda's senior apprentice sister Mu Ying. Senior apprentice sister Mu Ying is the role model of our generation. She's a pill refiner who has contributed to everyone … "
"You're also wrong. If we're talking about the pill refiner who has contributed the most, it's neither me nor you." A cold voice came from the door, interrupting Zhang Ding's words.
