Mo Wuji had already appeared on the second level of the Pill Dao Pagoda. The layout was exactly the same as the first level. The only difference was that the number of people on the second level was much lesser; it wasn't even a tenth of the number on the first level.
With the experience from the previous assessment, Mo Wuji directly found a seat and sat down. At the same time, he inserted his identity token into the notch in front of his seat.
The moment the jade token was inserted into the notch, a question appeared on the array screen in front of Mo Wuji, "Please write down what you need to pay attention to when concocting the Clear Immortal Pill. How can we improve the quality of the Immortal Clarity Pill? "
This was even easier than the Tier 1 Pill Monarch assessment. Mo Wuji's Pill Dao was completely derived from his own cultivation technique. When it came to the details of alchemy, it was just like when he cultivated, he had a kind of natural comprehension. Perhaps this question might be complicated for other cultivators, but to Mo Wuji, it wasn't much of a problem.
The main function of the Clear Immortal Pill was to allow cultivators below the Xuan Immortal Stage to have a clear mind during cultivation, preventing them from going berserk. When refining this kind of pill, one must be completely focused, and the higher the state of mind of the alchemist, the higher the quality of the pill refined. While Mo Wuji was concocting pills, he came to a conclusion. As long as he could purify the main ingredient of the Immortal Clarity Pill, the Silver Ringed Flower, to 98% purity, he would definitely be able to concoct a peak grade Immortal Clarity Pill.
The impurities in the Clear Immortal Pill mainly came from the main immortal herb, the Silver Ring Flower. The higher the purity of the Silver Ring Flower, the better the effect.
Of course, this kind of purification was only possible for Mo Wuji alone. Most pill refiners could only purify the Silver Rings Flower to 90% and above, which was already very heaven defying.
Mo Wuji had also thought of such a situation before. If the Silver Ring Flower's essence wasn't purified enough, he could try adding another immortal herb, the Tier 2 Immortal Spot Fruit.
The main function of the Immortal Spot Fruit was to neutralize the Silver Ring Flower. This was based on Mo Wuji's own experience in chemistry. On Earth, he often used chemical reactions between medicinal herbs to synthesize medicines.
He had only thought of this method, but he had never refined it. After all, he could easily refine the Silver Ring Flower to above 98%. There was no need for him to add the Immortal Spot Fruit.
Since he came across such a question today, Mo Wuji naturally wrote down his thoughts on it.
He only took a few minutes to answer the first question, and guessed that the second question was about concocting the Immortal Clarity Pill. Indeed, after he answered the first question, an immortal herb was sent to him. It was the ingredient needed to concoct the Immortal Clarity Pill. The requirement was to refine at least one batch of Immortal Clarity Pills with ten percent of Upper Grade Pills and sixty percent of Middle Grade Pills.
There were 18 Immortal Clarity Pills, and according to Mo Wuji's original technique, he could easily concoct 18 unique grade pills. However, as Mo Wuji was concocting the pills, he thought of the previous question. If he could concoct all the unique grade pills, wouldn't that mean that his purification rate would reach 98%?
Mo Wuji was very clear that the reason why he could extract more than 99% of the essences was not only because of his heavenly fire, but also because of his spirit storage channel. When concocting pills, the spirit storage channel was much more effective than the Violet Palace Spiritual Will.
Using his spirit storage channel to control the medicinal liquid in the pill cauldron was as clear as using his hands to separate the liquid.
The spirit storage channel was also considered his secret. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji held back a little. He purified the medicinal liquid to 95%, and concocted three unique grade pills, while the rest were all high grade pills.
The moment the Immortal Clarity Pill was sent away, Mo Wuji's jade token started to glow. The door to the second level of the Pill Dao Pagoda opened.
When Mo Wuji grabbed his jade token and entered the third level, everyone on the second level was stunned. One of them even failed the pill concoction prematurely because he was stunned by Mo Wuji, and was sent out.
They couldn't help but be shocked; they had never seen someone spend slightly more than half an incense's time to pass the Tier 2 Immortal Pill Monarch assessment.
…
After entering the third level of the Pill Dao Pagoda, Mo Wuji only saw five to six pill refiners taking the assessment. Mo Wuji was already familiar with the process, and after inserting his jade token, he discovered that there was only one question in this round of assessment: concoct the Drizzle Pill.
Mo Wuji felt fortunate that he obtained the pill formula for the Drizzle Pill back in Ying Bian City. Otherwise, even if the ingredients were sent over, he would still be hesitant. After all, this was an assessment, and he only had one chance. No matter how strong he was, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to concoct the optimal Drizzle Pill on his first try without the pill formula.
What was a pill formula? A pill formula didn't just record the types of immortal herbs, it also recorded the quantity and sequence of the herbs, as well as the important things to take note of during the fusion process.
Of course, to Mo Wuji, it was fine as long as he had the immortal herbs. Even if he didn't have the pill formula, he would still be able to slowly create it. Since it was an assessment, it would naturally be the easiest and most time-saving pill to concoct.
A batch of Drizzle Pills was easily concocted, and Mo Wuji managed to concoct half of them unique grade pills and the other half high grade pills while preserving some of his skills.
This time, Mo Wuji used even less time; he only took half an incense's time to open the door to the fourth level of the Pill Dao Pagoda.
When he was taking the Tier 1 Pill Monarch assessment, he used slightly more than an incense's time, and when he was taking the Tier 2 Pill Monarch assessment, he used more than half an incense's time. But when he was taking the Tier 3 Pill Monarch assessment, he actually only used half an incense's time. When other people took the pill refiner assessment, they would take longer and longer, but the time he took was shorter and shorter.
There were already very few people taking the Tier 3 Immortal Pill Monarch assessment; there were only five to six people, but Mo Wuji only used half an incense's time to pass the assessment. The direct consequence was that two pill refiners wasted a batch of pills, and they were directly sent out.
…
The fourth level of the Pill Dao Pagoda was finally not a rectangular hall; it was a pill room that was completely in line with the rules of a pill refiner. There was only a pill furnace in the pill room, and other than that, there was also a resting room.
Clearly, the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance had considered the fact that there weren't many Pill Kings, and that one pill furnace was enough.
At the end of the pill room, there was a faint golden staircase. The staircase was covered by fog, and one couldn't see what was going on inside. Mo Wuji guessed that this faint golden staircase should lead to the fifth level of the Pill Dao Pagoda. Mo Wuji knew that with his abilities, he could only concoct Tier 4 immortal pills, which meant that he was at the level of a Tier 4 Pill King. Thus, he didn't really care about this faint golden staircase.
Mo Wuji inserted his jade token into the notch above the pill concoction area, and a slightly larger monitor screen appeared in front of him. On the monitor screen, there were some introductions to the rules.
"All pill refiners participating in the Tier 4 Pill King assessment will choose the pill that they want to concoct. As long as you successfully concoct the pill, you will be able to take away two pills as a reward. Pill refiners can choose their own pill furnace and flame to concoct the pill. For pill refiners who choose to concoct the Grand Yi True Pill, if they fail, they will have to compensate a portion of the immortal crystals. No matter what pill they choose, the pill must be 90% intermediate grade and above to be considered as having passed. "
Looking further down, there were indeed all sorts of pills. First on the list was the Grand Yi True Pill, followed by the Deadwood Pill, Spirit Cleansing Pill, Yi Immortal Pill …
There were tens of different types of pills.
Mo Wuji could understand the requirement to compensate a portion of the immortal crystals if the Grand Yi True Pill failed. The Grand Yi True Pill might not be the best amongst the Tier 4 immortal pills, but it was definitely the most sought after. Moreover, it was said that the Grand Yi True Pill required the Grand Yi True Fruit, which was an extremely rare Tier 4 immortal fruit.
After all, this was a pill that could allow a Xuan Immortal to advance to the Grand Yi Immortal Stage; it could be considered a strategic immortal pill. Any one of these pills would sell very well.
Mo Wuji was slightly hesitant. If he chose the Yi Immortal Pill, then he would definitely become a Tier 4 Pill King in an hour.
However, Mo Wuji really wanted to concoct the Grand Yi True Pill. The main reason was that he didn't have the pill formula. To a pill refiner, a pill formula was an extremely important thing.
Now, he still didn't have the ability to assemble a pill formula that could allow him to advance to the Grand Yi Immortal Stage. Even if he managed to assemble a pill formula, it would only be for immortal pills that were Tier 4 and below.
After a few minutes, Mo Wuji finally made up his mind. He used his finger to touch the Grand Yi True Pill. Even if he failed, he would at least know what the pill formula looked like. Otherwise, when he advanced to the Grand Yi Immortal Stage in the future, he might not even know the pill formula for the Grand Yi True Pill.
Even if he failed the Tier 4 Pill King assessment, he would still be a Tier 3 Pill Monarch of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. A Tier 3 Pill Monarch of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance should have some status, right?
As for the compensation for failure, Mo Wuji was confident that he could afford it. If he didn't have enough immortal crystals, he could use immortal lattice stones to pay for it.
A faint light flashed and a pile of immortal herbs was transferred out. Among them, the jade box that contained the Grand Yi True Fruit was the most eye-catching.
Mo Wuji couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was truly powerful. For a pill like the Grand Yi True Pill, they could casually take it out for the assessment.
Mo Wuji didn't ignite his pill fire. Instead, he carefully tidied up the ingredients for the Grand Yi True Pill. There were a total of over 20 types. Other than the Grand Yi True Fruit, there were also a few more valuable immortal herbs. For example, the Tier 4 immortal herb, Immortal Nanmu, Tier 4 immortal herb, Phoenix Wood Root etc.
Fortunately, Mo Wuji had read about Grass, Wood and Stone before. Not only did he recognise these immortal herbs, he also had a certain understanding of their characteristics.
After understanding the quantity of these immortal herbs, Mo Wuji ignited his flame and started to clean up the dregs on the pill furnace.
This was the first time Mo Wuji was so cautious ever since he entered the Pill Dao Pagoda.
After an incense's time, Mo Wuji started to take out the ingredients to refine them.
For immortal pills below Tier 4, Mo Wuji could choose to hold back. But when he was concocting the Grand Yi True Pill, Mo Wuji didn't hold back at all. After all, he was only a Tier 4 Pill King.
Stalk after stalk of immortal herbs were refined by Mo Wuji. After an hour, Mo Wuji threw the dregs out of the pill furnace and started to fuse the medicinal essences. At the same time, his spirit storage channel's spiritual will circulated within the medicinal essences. He started to analyse the degree of fusion and the medicinal essences of the Grand Yi True Pill.
Under normal circumstances, when Mo Wuji concocted a Tier 4 pill, this process would only take slightly more than an hour.
For this batch of Grand Yi True Pill, he used more than four hours before he started to condense the pill essences. At this step, Mo Wuji knew that with his abilities, the Grand Yi True Pill shouldn't be a problem. Next, he would have to look at the quality of the pill.
…
Sharphorn Immortal Ruins Pill Dao Pagoda Level 7. That middle-aged pill refiner, who was shaking his head at Mo Wuji, suddenly stood up. He stared at the huge array screen in front of him. The jade letter in his hand fell to the ground before he could even react.
