Mo Wuji muttered to himself: How sensitive is this woman's nose?
"The pill you gave me was concocted by you, right? Since you are a pill refiner, why did you become a service disciple? If you wanted to hide your pill refining skills and become a service disciple, why did you help Pill Master Shi? "Yan Qianyin asked calmly.
It was not surprising that Mo Wuji thought of adding the Water Velvet Vine into the Channel Solidifying Pill to lower the difficulty and increase the success rate. This was because there were several pill formulas for the Channel Solidifying Pill, and one of them added the Water Velvet Vine. The Channel Solidifying Pill produced by this formula was slightly weaker, but the process was much simpler. Perhaps Mo Wuji happened to see this formula, but Shi Jun did not know about it.
As for what Mo Wuji wanted to gain from Shi Jun through this method, she did not care. It was only right and proper that he did not hand out the pill formulas he obtained, and used other methods to gain some benefits.
But now that Mo Wuji could concoct pills on his own, it was definitely not a problem of obtaining one of the pill formulas. This meant that Mo Wuji had already learnt pill refining. Since he had learnt pill refining and could even concoct pills, he did not need to stay in the Formless Blade Sect as a service disciple.
Mo Wuji's head started to hurt. He doubted whether he should have saved this Yan Qianyin. He knew the story of the farmer and the snake better than anyone else. This Yan Qianyin did not look like a snake, right?
As he thought of this, Mo Wuji braced himself and said, "My pill refining skills were passed down in my family. My family was originally a king's family. Because the king was taken away, my family declined. I learnt a lot of pill refining knowledge, but I had no way to verify it. This time, I wanted to make use of Pill Master Shi's visit to the Sword Mountain to verify my pill refining knowledge. "
Mo Wuji had considered many things before he said this. Firstly, his family was a king's family, so it was not like he did not have the opportunity to learn pill refining. Secondly, the Mo family was basically extinct. Even if you wanted to investigate, you might not be able to find anything.
Mo Wuji did not know that his grandfather used to be a pill refiner. If he did, he would not be so timid. When faced with Yan Qianyin's questions, he would confidently say that his grandfather was a pill refiner, and that he learnt from him.
As for the fact that he was born after his grandfather, Mo Tiancheng, passed away, who could care so much? Couldn't he just leave behind the ancestral alchemy manual?
Yan Qianyin was equally shocked as she asked, "You're saying that you've only been studying pill refining theory, and after meeting so many spiritual herbs here, you're able to refine Tier 1 Mortal Pills in just a month?"
It wasn't that Yan Qianyin didn't believe Mo Wuji's words, but Mo Wuji's words were too ridiculous. No matter how talented a person was, it would be difficult to concoct a Tier 1 Mortal Pill within a month even if they spent years researching various pill refining theories.
The reason why there were so few alchemists was because alchemy required great talent and continuous practice. This was also the reason why alchemists were so difficult to cultivate. First of all, you don't know if you have the talent for alchemy. Secondly, you need a lot of spiritual grass resources. Thirdly, you need a good teacher to guide you.
No matter which one it was, it was not easy to achieve. Moreover, the Tier 1 Mortal Pills that Mo Wuji concocted were already of high quality. If he improved a little more, he would be able to concoct Tier 2 Mortal Pills.
When Mo Wuji heard Yan Qianyin's words, he suddenly thought of his pill techniques and hand techniques. Apart from the Wordless Heavenly Book's thorough analysis of the herbs' characteristics, the Pill Formula and Hand Formula were also the decisive factors for him to be able to successfully concoct pills in such a short time. Apart from that, there was another important factor. That was, he was originally a top notch alchemist. Concocting pills was easier than concocting pills, but that was only in comparison.
Concocting pills used normal herbs without any spiritual herbs. However, most alchemists were mortals who had never cultivated before, so they did not know how to use elemental energy to assist them.
Concocting pills mostly used spiritual herbs, so one had to ensure the spirituality of the herbs. For ordinary mortals who had never cultivated before, it was almost impossible to accomplish such a feat. But for cultivators, this was no different from an alchemist concocting ordinary medicinal ingredients.
"That's right, but before I started concocting pills, I had studied pill refining knowledge for more than 10 years." Mo Wuji decided not to hide it anymore. Since his background could be found out, there was no point in hiding it. As long as he insisted on not revealing the Wordless Heavenly Book, it would not affect him too much.
"That means that you have great talent for pill refining. With your talent, if you could become a pill refiner in the sect, you would be able to obtain more resources for pill refining, and your future achievements would be even greater …" Yan Qianyin suddenly paused as she said this.
She thought of an insurmountable obstacle for Mo Wuji, and that was Mo Wuji's poor spiritual roots. According to Mo Wuji's explanation, he should have low grade spiritual roots.
Other than talent in pill refining, talent in cultivation was equally important for a pill refiner.
As the grade of the pill refiner increased, there would also be a requirement for the pill refiner's cultivation level. If the pill refiner's cultivation level was too low, it would be hard for him to concoct higher grade pills.
However, Mo Wuji did not think of the problem of talent in cultivation, because his cultivation speed was too fast. He thought of what Yan Qianyin said just now. If he really joined the sect and became a pill refiner, he would have the opportunity to enter the sect's library. He might even have the chance to listen to the teachings of a Technique Imparting Master.
As he thought of this, Mo Wuji hurriedly said, "If I can become a pill refiner in the sect, I'm naturally willing. But I'm afraid it won't be easy, right?"
Yan Qianyin paused for a moment, then said with certainty, "As a Tier 1 Mortal Pill Refiner, you would definitely be of great use to the sect. I can introduce you to the sect, and make you a pill refiner. However, your talent in cultivation is limited, so I can't guarantee your pill refining resources. "
As for pill refining resources, Mo Wuji did not even think about it. In his one month at the Formless Blade Mountain, he had already gained a lot of benefits from the sect.
"Senior apprentice sister Yan, as long as I can enter the library to read and listen to some of the elders' teachings, I would be satisfied. As for cultivation resources and pill refining resources, I don't really care, "Mo Wuji said.
Yan Qianyin did not have the arrogance of a Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner, so Mo Wuji simply changed the way he addressed her, and improved their relationship.
Hearing that Mo Wuji's requirements were not high, Yan Qianyin smiled, "Don't worry, as a sect pill refiner, even a Tier 1 Mortal Pill Refiner, would have a much higher status than the average disciple. The requirements you mentioned are all requests from the disciples, so naturally there won't be any problems. "
"Senior apprentice sister Yan, what happened to you just now? It seemed like your life force was sucked dry? " With Yan Qianyin's assurance, Mo Wuji finally felt a little more at ease, and thought about Yan Qianyin's previous situation.
Upon hearing Mo Wuji's words, the originally calm Yan Qianyin's expression turned serious, and she stood up at the same time.
After pondering for a few minutes, she looked at Mo Wuji and asked, "Junior apprentice brother Mo, there's a huge opportunity here. But to obtain this opportunity, it's also very dangerous. If you're not careful, you might end up like me, with your life force sucked dry. Do you dare to take a gamble with me? "
"Senior apprentice sister, you almost had your life force sucked dry because of this opportunity?" Mo Wuji came to a realisation.
Yan Qianyin nodded and said, "That's right, I suspect that the place I've been to has a peerless sword manual and sword technique left behind by one of the sect heads of the Formless Blade Sect. Perhaps there's more. But we can't even get close to that place, because the moment we do, our life force will be sucked dry. "
"Senior apprentice sister Yan, could it be that you still have elementary Life Pills?" Thinking about Yan Qianyin's previous state, Mo Wuji subconsciously shuddered, and his scalp went numb.
Yan Qianyin shook her head, "I don't have any. Since we've chosen the path of cultivation, if we don't fight, how can we achieve anything?"
However, Mo Wuji did not want to go. On the path of cultivation, he had ways to continuously improve. It wasn't that he was afraid of death, if he was, he wouldn't have risked his life to use lightning to temper his meridians. He did not want to go because the place Yan Qianyin mentioned was too risky, and there was nothing that truly attracted him. This kind of risk was completely not worth it.
