Shi Jun said nervously, "Wuji, ever since you watched me successfully concoct the Channel Solidifying Pill, I have never succeeded again. This time, you must bless me with your luck. If I am unable to concoct the Channel Solidifying Pill, then everything will be over. "
Shi Jun had a lot of faith in Mo Wuji. In the cultivation world, luck was not an illusory thing. Some people's luck was better than others. From the perspective of the Heaven and Earth, it was the blessing of fate.
Mo Wuji did not know about the blessing of fate. He was really nervous as he whispered to Shi Jun, "Pill Master Shi, I still have a unique technique, which is the Great Contact of Luck. As long as you use a bucket of clean water, every medicinal herb will be washed by my hands. This way, those who are tainted by my luck will be even luckier, and their success rate will more than double. "
"That's not a problem. I'll get someone to bring a bucket of water over in a while." Shi Jun muttered a few words to the disciples carrying the pill furnaces. Indeed, in less than a minute, a disciple brought a bucket of water over.
"Pill Master Shi, what are you doing?" Someone immediately asked.
Shi Jun spoke unhurriedly, "I intend to wash each and every medicinal herb to increase my success rate. Wuji, I'll be concocting pills later, so I'll leave the task of washing the herbs to you. "
Hearing that Shi Jun called Mo Wuji over to wash the herbs, everyone in the hall understood why Shi Jun called for an ingredient boy. Before concocting pills, the job of washing the herbs was naturally left to the ingredient boy. As for why he had to wash the herbs, every pill refiner's legacy was different.
Shi Jun's pill furnace was the second from the right, while Pill Master Ju's was the third from the right. This caused Mo Wuji to curse his bad luck.
To be honest, Shi Jun had called him here with the intention of asking for his help. At the same time, Mo Wuji also wanted to see how other pill refiners concocted pills.
Mo Wuji hoped that the person concocting pills next to him was Yan Qianyin. He heard that she was a Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner. Since she was an Earth Pill Refiner, her pill concocting skills would definitely be better than others. Unfortunately, Yan Qianyin was not by his side. When the other four pill refiners were all in position, Mo Wuji realised that Yan Qianyin did not even come over.
Very quickly, Mo Wuji guessed the reason. Yan Qianyin was a Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner of the sect, so naturally, she did not need to participate personally.
"My Formless Blade Mountain has not been opened for a thousand years. This time, in order to raise the strength of our pill refiners, we specially opened it. Because the resources of the Formless Blade Mountain were limited, only seven people could enter. Our Formless Blade Sect already has four Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiners and one Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner. None of them need to participate in this competition. This time round, five newly advanced Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiners will be participating in the competition. Two out of the five will enter the Formless Blade Mountain. Each of them will have two chances to concoct Tier 3 pills. Let the competition begin. "Seeing that the five were ready, Gu Ran gave the order.
Mo Wuji heard that only seven people could enter the Formless Blade Mountain. Including the seven ingredient boys, there would only be 14 people. When he went to the Hall of Affairs this morning, there were so many people discussing the Formless Blade Mountain. He was still wondering how many people would be able to enter.
Now that Shi Jun promised him that if he succeeded, he could enter the Formless Blade Mountain, he would owe him a huge favour.
Mo Wuji noticed that all the pill refiners had ignited a fiery red stone at the bottom of the pill furnace, forming a huge flame that covered the bottom of the furnace. This fiery red stone seemed to be able to adjust the intensity of the flame.
Shi Jun also ignited the flame and started to clean the pill furnace.
Mo Wuji placed the herbs into the wooden bucket and scooped each stalk of herb into the water. As for the Green Fire Fruit, he did not put it into the water, but used the Water Velvet Vine in his sleeve to coat it.
After the two sets of herbs were soaked in the water, Mo Wuji placed them to one side to dry.
At this moment, Shi Jun had also finished cleaning the pill furnace and started to concoct the Channel Solidifying Pill.
Mo Wuji had seen Shi Jun concoct pills once, and there was nothing much to see. Mo Wuji's gaze landed on Pill Master Ju, who was previously unhappy with him. He realised that out of the five people here, this Ju fella was the strongest.
Mo Wuji did not know what Pill Master Ju was concocting, but the way he placed the herbs into the furnace was much more natural than Shi Jun, and his movements were much more elegant.
Following which, Mo Wuji realised that this Ju fella did not use any spatula or anything of the sort, but completely controlled the pill furnace to control the spiritual herbs within.
Towards the end, Pill Master Ju even placed his hand into the boiling hot pill furnace to move the herbs within, but his hand did not seem to be affected at all. Just based on this point, Mo Wuji was clear that Pill Master Ju's ability was above the other four, and had completely surpassed the Dog Crawling Style.
Before an hour had passed, Mo Wuji heard a 'Bang' sound, and saw the pill refiner on the first seat on the left with a face full of grime. Evidently, he had failed in his concoction, and a batch of pills had exploded.
Just as Mo Wuji was thinking that this fella still had one more chance, he heard another 'Bang' sound. A strong wave of heat rushed towards him, and he subconsciously took a few steps back. When he finally stopped, he realised that the one who exploded this time was Shi Jun, whom he had helped.
From the looks of it, this Pill Master Shi's mental state was not very good, and the explosion of other people's pills had affected him.
Seeing Shi Jun's dispirited look, Mo Wuji hurried over and said, "Pill Master Shi, there's still one more batch of pills, so you still have a chance. Think about it, if not for other people affecting you, you would definitely have succeeded. No one has a 100% success rate in concocting pills. "
Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Shi Jun's spirits rose. That's right, who has a 100% success rate?
He hurried to clean the pill furnace, and prepared to concoct the second batch of Channel Solidifying Pills.
Seeing that Shi Jun had pulled himself together to continue concocting pills, Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. Shi Jun's success or failure would determine whether he could enter the Formless Blade Mountain. If he could enter the Formless Blade Mountain, and obtain large amounts of spiritual herbs to practice on, then it would definitely be a milestone for him in the future.
For a rogue cultivator like him, who was even worse than a rogue cultivator, it was almost impossible for him to obtain large amounts of spiritual herbs to practice on. This opportunity lay in Pill Master Shi's hands. Only if Pill Master Shi succeeded, would he have a chance.
When Shi Jun started to concoct the second batch of Channel Solidifying Pills, Mo Wuji noticed that Pill Master Ju had already finished purifying and fusing the ingredients, and was starting to remove the dregs.
Even after the two consecutive pill explosions, and even when Shi Jun's explosion was right beside Pill Master Ju, it did not affect his pill concoction at all. Even though Mo Wuji could not wait for this Pill Master Ju to fail, he could not help but admire this fella's ability.
Another half an hour passed, and after Shi Jun had finished purifying the ingredients, Pill Master Ju's pill furnace started to emit a faint pill aroma. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. Being strong really was useless. Unless he poured a bucket of water into Pill Master Ju's pill furnace, this fella would definitely be the first to succeed. As for the other four, they could only fight for the last slot to enter the Formless Blade Mountain.
Fortunately, other than this Pill Master Ju, the other four all failed once. On the other hand, Shi Jun, who was concocting the Channel Solidifying Pills for the second time, was able to withstand the pressure, and was not affected by the other two's failures. At this moment, Shi Jun was already removing the dregs, fusing the medicinal essences, and starting to condense the pills.
Just as Mo Wuji's attention was diverted from Pill Master Ju, he felt a gaze on him. He subconsciously lifted his head, and realised that the Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner, Yan Qianyin, was looking at him. Seeing that he was looking at her, she even nodded at him.
Mo Wuji was not worried about anything. Just now, he had used the wooden bucket to apply the Water Velvet Vine onto the Green Fire Fruit, so no one would have seen it.
Just at this moment, the pill aroma became stronger. Mo Wuji looked towards Pill Master Ju, and indeed saw him taking out a few pills from his pill furnace, and sending them directly into a jade vase that he had prepared beforehand.
Indeed, this fella was the first to succeed. Even though Mo Wuji was unhappy, there was nothing he could do. He could only focus on Shi Jun, and pray that Shi Jun's pill concoction would not fail.
