Pharmacy 19 was not very close to Mo Wuji's residence. Mo Wuji sprinted all the way, and it took him almost three minutes to reach Pharmacy 19.
Every pharmacy was connected to a pill concoction room, and the one connected to Pharmacy 19 was Pill Concoction Room 19. Mo Wuji also asked around about the reason why there were so few pill refiners in Pharmacy 19.
The answer he got was that the success rate of Pill Concoction Room 19 was very low. No matter who was refining pills here, the chances of failure were higher than in other places, and it was not just one or two points. As time passed, the number of people concocting pills in Pharmacy 19 decreased.
Wu Kai arranged for Mo Wuji to stay in Pharmacy 19, and it seemed like he had done Mo Wuji a huge favour, which made Mo Wuji feel grateful. At the same time, he also restricted Mo Wuji's development. Mo Wuji had already told Wu Kai his motive for coming here, which was to learn some knowledge about drugs.
There was no one in Pharmacy 19 to concoct pills, so what the hell was he going to learn about drugs?
In reality, in Wu Kai's subconscious, he did not want Mo Wuji to learn about medicine. Theoretically, even if Mo Wuji studied for a hundred years, he would not be able to achieve anything. However, he could not rule out the possibility that Mo Wuji was really a pill refining genius, and was taken in as a disciple by a pill refiner.
If Mo Wuji became a pill refiner's disciple, even he, Deacon Wu, would have to bow and greet Mo Wuji in the future. This was not an outcome that Wu Kai could accept.
"Brat, why are you only here now? Don't you know the rules? "
Just as Mo Wuji stood at the entrance of Pharmacy 19, an angry roar exploded in his ears.
Mo Wuji, whose eardrums were about to explode, hurriedly took two steps back. Only then did he get a good look at the other party. It was an old man with an unkempt beard. Not only was his beard unkempt, even his hair was messy, and his body was stained with many medicinal liquids.
Mo Wuji did not dare to look at him for long, and hurriedly bowed, "I was afraid of offending the pill refiner, so I wasted some time dressing and washing up."
In reality, Mo Wuji did not sleep at all. He was afraid that if he said he lived too far away, the pill refiner would immediately ask him to stay closer.
Indeed, after hearing Mo Wuji's words, the bearded old man's tone softened a little. After all, when he called Mo Wuji over, the sky was still bright.
"Now, bring my token to the spiritual herbs warehouse to concoct these ingredients. You have to be quick. If you waste even a breath of time, you don't have to stay here anymore." The elder threw a jade token and a piece of beast hide to Mo Wuji, then turned and entered the pill room.
Mo Wuji did not dare to delay, and hurriedly sprinted towards the spiritual herbs warehouse.
Mo Wuji had heard that the Formless Blade Sect's spiritual herb vault was in the Hall of Affairs. The Great Hall of Affairs was the place where the disciples received their cultivation resources, missions, and contribution points every month. Similarly, as long as one had sect contribution points, one could buy anything here. It could be said that this was the liveliest place in the Formless Blade Sect.
Mo Wuji was only a service disciple, and even if he wanted to, he did not have the qualifications to earn contribution points. He had to work for a full year before he was qualified to apply for the sect's contribution points.
Along the way, Mo Wuji looked through the beast hide once. From what he could see, this beast hide was definitely a pill formula.
On the beast hide, there were more than 10 types of medicinal ingredients, including the Iron Spot Flower, Grey Hemp, Green Fire Fruit etc. Mo Wuji basically recognised all of these ingredients. From the characteristics of these ingredients, Mo Wuji guessed that this was a pill formula for tempering, and it was very likely to be used to temper meridians.
Even though he had never seen this pill formula before, Mo Wuji could faintly sense that there was something wrong with this pill formula. It was not that his pill refining skills were higher than the old man's, but based on his understanding of the characteristics of plants, as well as his recent research on the pill manual, he felt that placing the Iron Spot Flower and the Ring Cloud Bamboo bud together would cause the Green Fire Fruit's medicinal properties to be unstable.
Mo Wuji believed that no matter how high a spiritual herb was, it was still a type of plant. Even if it surpassed the category of a plant, it could not escape the category of a living organism.
According to the description of the characteristics of the Iron Spot Flower and the Ring Cloud Bamboo, when these two items were put together, it would weaken the wood property of the fire element in the Green Fire Fruit. Moreover, most pill refiners used the Green Fire Fruit as a spiritual herb, mainly to make use of the Green Fire Fruit's fire properties. Once the Green Fire Fruit's wood properties were weakened, then the Green Fire Fruit would lose its effects.
Unless it was an extremely strong pill refiner who could control these three spiritual herbs. However, no matter how Mo Wuji looked at it, that sloppy old man did not look like a strong pill refiner.
Mo Wuji did not know how important the Green Fire Fruit was in this pill formula, and without the Green Fire Fruit, would this pill formula still be successful?
These were not things that he could care about. Who knew if this pill formula was purposely trying to weaken the Green Fire Fruit's wood properties? After all, he was only at the stage of understanding the characteristics of various spiritual herbs, and did not know anything about pill formulas.
…
Even though it was still early in the morning, there were already many people walking around the Hall of Affairs. Mo Wuji used his fastest speed to rush to the spiritual herbs warehouse's prescription counter, and handed over the jade token and the beast hide paper with the pill formula, saying, "Pharmacy 19."
The guy in charge of dispensing spiritual herbs looked at Mo Wuji with a smile that did not seem like a smile, and very quickly helped Mo Wuji to dispense the spiritual herbs.
"Pharmacy 19 seems to be rather idle," The disciple in charge of dispensing spiritual herbs suddenly said as he passed the herbs to Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji did not know what he meant, and laughed along with him, "Indeed, this is the first time I've received a task in the past half a month."
The disciple in charge suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Brother, hurry up and get ready to change locations."
"What do you mean?" Mo Wuji stopped and asked curiously.
"Do you know what the prescription you're concocting today is? This pill formula is called the Channel Solidifying Pill, and it's a new pill formula that Pill Master Shi obtained. It's said that it can strengthen the toughness of spirit channels, and raise the potential of a cultivator. It's a Tier 3 Mortal Pill. Master Shi is a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner, and this pill is too difficult to concoct. Let me tell you, Pill Master Shi has already changed seven pill rooms to concoct the Channel Solidifying Pill. Every time Pill Master Shi fails, he would change to another pill room, and he would chase away the service disciple … "
When Mo Wuji heard this, he cursed in his heart. This b * stard's pill concoction skills were not good enough, and yet he wanted to vent his anger on the service disciples. If things were really as this disciple said, then Mo Wuji was definitely doomed. If a service disciple like him was chased away by a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner, Wu Kai would probably not allow him to stay at his original residence. If Wu Kai used the excuse that he was chased away by a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner to force him to leave the Blood Lotus Lake, he would not even have a chance to protest.
It was not easy for Mo Wuji to find a good place to cultivate, and was planning to go to the sect to seek out more cultivation knowledge. Naturally, he did not want to leave now.
No, I must stop this from happening.
Seeing Mo Wuji in a daze, the disciple comforted him, "Junior apprentice brother, hurry back and hand over the herbs, then look for Deacon Wu to think of a solution."
In his opinion, Mo Wuji definitely knew Deacon Wu since he was able to enter Pharmacy 19.
"Many thanks, senior apprentice brother. May I ask if you have any Water Velvet Vines?" Mo Wuji knew that he had to save himself. From the looks of it, the Iron Spot Flower and Ring Cloud Bamboo were not added to remove the wood attribute from the Green Fire Fruit, but because Pill Master Shi did not have the ability.
The disciple nodded, "Yes, but this is not the spiritual herb that Pill Master Shi wants. If you want to buy it individually, you will need to exchange with sect contribution points."
Mo Wuji said with some difficulty, "I only have gold coins, and no sect contribution points. How about I give you 1000 gold coins, and you help me exchange for one?"
The disciple did not seem to mind, but took out a Water Velvet Vine and passed it to Mo Wuji, "Water Velvet Vines are very common, just 100 gold coins will do."
"Thank you senior apprentice brother, my name is Mo Wuji." Mo Wuji said gratefully. This disciple did not take the opportunity to cheat him of his gold coins, which showed that he was a good person.
"My name is Fei Bingzhu, junior apprentice brother Mo, hurry up and go. Master Shi's temper is not good," The disciple reminded Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji hurriedly left. He wanted the Water Velvet Vine to preserve the wood attribute of the Green Fire Fruit, and increase the success rate of pill concoction.
According to the introduction on the pill manual, the fusion of the Iron Spot Flower and the Ring Cloud Bamboo would form a large amount of gold energy. This gold energy could improve the quality of the pill, but that was only for a capable pill refiner. If a pill refiner was not capable, this gold energy would easily destroy the wood attribute of the Green Fire Fruit. The Water Velvet Vine contained dense water energy, which could nourish the wood attribute, reducing the consumption of wood attribute.
Mo Wuji did not dare to use any methods to contain the gold energy, as he was afraid that it would affect the pill concoction. Now that he knew that the Iron Spot Flower and the Ring Cloud Bamboo were not used to remove the wood attribute of the Green Fire Fruit, adding the Water Velvet Vine would not only improve the pill concoction, but also reduce the difficulty of pill concoction. This meant that an original Tier 3 Mortal Pill, with the addition of the Water Velvet Vine to protect the wood attribute, could even be concocted by some Tier 2 pill refiners. The only downside was that the quality of the pill would be slightly lower.
Mo Wuji did not dare to bring the Water Velvet Vine alone, so he turned the Water Velvet Vine into a medicinal concoction, and applied it on the skin of the Green Fire Fruit.
This method was just a test of luck. If the temperature of the furnace was not controlled properly, the water attribute of the Water Velvet Vine would be completely melted, and it would not be of any use at all. Mo Wuji was just trying his luck. If he succeeded, then he would succeed. If not, then he could only change to another location.
