"I've eaten the pills you concocted before. Among the Formless Blade Sect's Tier 1 Mortal Pill Refiners, no one can concoct a Tier 1 Mortal Pill Refiner of that level. I believe that you are already on the verge of breaking through to become a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner. Just a little bit more and you will be able to become a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner, "Yan Qianyin said seriously.
Mo Wuji could only reply, "Actually, I've tried to concoct Tier 2 Mortal Pills before, but I did not succeed."
With so many spiritual herbs in this place, how could Mo Wuji not try to concoct Tier 2 Mortal Pills after successfully concocting Tier 1 Mortal Pills? Not only did he try, he did not just concoct one or two batches. He had concocted close to 70 batches of Tier 2 Mortal Pills, but all of them had failed.
Fortunately, there were mountains of spiritual herbs here. Otherwise, even the strongest sect would not be able to withstand his torment.
In the end, Mo Wuji felt that he did not have the ability to concoct Tier 2 Mortal Pills, mainly because he had too little experience. Instead of concocting Tier 2 Mortal Pills, he concocted a bunch of Energy Gathering Pills, Energy Replenishing Pills and Smooth Blood Pills.
Yan Qianyin smiled faintly, "The reason why you have not broken through to become a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner is very simple. There are two reasons. Firstly, deep in your heart, you feel that becoming a pill refiner is very, very difficult. You are satisfied with becoming a Tier 1 Mortal Pill Refiner in such a short period of time, so you subconsciously feel that it is impossible to become a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner in such a short period of time. This is because you do not have enough confidence.
Secondly, when you were concocting Tier 2 Mortal Pills, your control of the ingredients in the pill furnace was still at the level of a Tier 1 Mortal Pill Refiner. This point, after a period of time, you will automatically correct it. But now that I am here, I will correct your mistakes in the shortest time possible, and help you concoct Tier 2 Mortal Pills correctly. "
Mo Wuji was stunned. Yan Qianyin's first point was not wrong at all. In his subconscious, he really felt that it was impossible for him to become a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner in such a short period of time. As for the second point, he did not really understand it.
"Don't ask me how I know, because I was once in the same situation. Don't think that it is impossible to become a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner in such a short period of time. I heard from my master that it only took my grandmaster half a year to become an Earth Pill Refiner from the time he started learning alchemy. There were geniuses in this world, and these geniuses had talents that ordinary people couldn't understand. To be able to become a Tier 1 Mortal Pill Refiner in half a month with your years of theoretical knowledge, you are also a genius in pill dao. "
When he heard Yan Qianyin say that her ancestor became an Earth Pill Refiner in half a year, even though he knew that Yan Qianyin was trying to boost his confidence, Mo Wuji still had to admit that Yan Qianyin's words were effective. In his opinion, alchemy did not seem to be as difficult as others said. He had indeed been affected by the rumors and neglected his own advantages.
His advantage was that when he was on Earth, he was very familiar with the characteristics of all kinds of plants. After coming into contact with the wordless pill manual, his understanding of the characteristics of spiritual herbs far surpassed that of ordinary pill refiners. He could even infer many things from one instance. Coupled with his hand technique and pill technique, he might really be able to advance another step.
Yan Qianyin continued, "Apart from that, another important criterion to judge a pill refiner is the degree of purity he can purify spiritual herbs. How much can you purify with ordinary spiritual herbs? "
Mo Wuji said honestly, "It should be around 80%."
Even though he was confident that he could purify spiritual herbs to 90%, Mo Wuji had never come into contact with this aspect. He did not know if his calculations were correct, or if there were other criteria, so he decided to speak less.
When Yan Qianyin heard that Mo Wuji could purify spiritual herbs to 80% or even higher, she could not help but shake her head. At the same time, her impression of Mo Wuji plummeted.
Even she could only purify spiritual herbs to a little more than 80%. An ordinary Tier 1 Mortal Pill Refiner could purify spiritual herbs to 60% to 70%, which was already considered not bad. The higher the purity of spiritual herbs, the harder it was to achieve. It was like a person who could purify spiritual herbs to 89%, but if he wanted to reach 90%, he might not be able to do so even after tens of years.
Because of this, she thought that Mo Wuji was bragging. Mo Wuji only dared to brag because he thought that she could not tell. What he did not know was that with her level of pill refinement, she would be able to tell how much Mo Wuji had purified the spiritual herbs the moment he started.
"Senior apprentice sister Yan, then I will try concocting a batch of Tier 2 Mortal Pills. If there are any mistakes, I hope senior apprentice sister Yan can point me out." Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said sincerely when he saw that Yan Qianyin was silent.
Yan Qianyin nodded, "Alright, you can start now."
She didn't expose Mo Wuji. Even if Mo Wuji's pill refinement was far from 80%, she wouldn't expose him.
Mo Wuji chose the Poison Cleansing Pill. This pill was a Tier 2 Mortal Pill, and could cure many types of poisons. Mo Wuji had previously concocted tens of batches of Tier 2 Mortal Pills without success, and the Poison Cleansing Pill took up half of his attempts.
Seeing that Mo Wuji chose the Poison Cleansing Pill, Yan Qianyin seemed to understand why Mo Wuji did not agree to help her deal with the Life Sucking Beast. It was obvious that Mo Wuji valued his own life. Yan Qianyin sighed in her heart. Fortunately, Mo Wuji's spiritual roots were poor. If Mo Wuji's spiritual roots were good, then he would have wasted his spiritual roots and talent in pill refining.
In her eyes, a person who valued his own life too much and was afraid of death would not be able to go far on the path of cultivation. How could a cultivator have a smooth sailing life? There would always come a time when one faced death.
However, the Poison Cleansing Pill that Mo Wuji chose was suitable. As long as Mo Wuji could concoct the Poison Cleansing Pill, then he should be able to concoct the Ephemeral Life Pill.
Mo Wuji naturally did not know what Yan Qianyin was thinking. Even if he knew, he would not care. He naturally valued his own life, and that was definitely not because he was afraid of death. Risking his life for no reason was not in his character.
To him, what he was facing was more important than his own life. Even if he knew that he was about to die, he would not take a single step back.
Concocting the Poison Cleansing Pill was indeed a precautionary measure. Back in Rao Zhou, he was almost poisoned by the Arrow Poison Tree. Now that he had started cultivating, the people he came into contact with were all immortal masters in the eyes of mortals. If he was poisoned, he might not even be able to smell it.
Since he had become a pill refiner, why couldn't he concoct some antidotes?
The ingredients were all the freshest. Mo Wuji lit the pill furnace with a firestone and started to clean it.
After cleaning the pill furnace, Mo Wuji placed the spiritual herbs into the furnace and started to purify the ingredients.
After seeing Mo Wuji's method of cleaning the pill furnace, Yan Qianyin was extremely shocked. When she saw Mo Wuji using hand techniques and elemental energy to purify the ingredients, and not like other pill refiners who used external objects to interfere with the purification, Yan Qianyin stood up.
She was sure that Mo Wuji's pill refining heritage was not simple. In the Formless Blade Sect, she had not seen a second Mortal Pill Refiner who could use hand techniques and elemental energy to purify ingredients. She could do this when she was still in the Mortal Pill Refiner Stage because her pill refining heritage was already very impressive. Moreover, she was already a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner when she was able to do this.
Now that she saw Mo Wuji using hand techniques and elemental energy to refine pills at the Tier 1 Mortal Pill Refiner Stage, she could not believe that even she could not do it. But the truth was right in front of her eyes, Mo Wuji did it.
Actually, Mo Wuji had already started to restrain himself. When he saw Shi Jun using a 'spatula' to purify ingredients, Mo Wuji knew that his hand techniques and pill techniques were very impressive. It was because of this that he did not use pill techniques, but purely used hand techniques to refine pills.
He had a premonition that things like pill techniques should not be taken out casually for others to see. Moreover, with his current cultivation level, it was still a little difficult for him to use pill techniques to refine pills. According to the pill techniques, one had to use spiritual will to control the pills. However, he did not know what spiritual will was, so he could only use his willpower to forcefully control it. The pills concocted this way were sometimes good, sometimes bad. When it was good, it was much better than the pills concocted by hand techniques, but when it was bad, it would result in failure.
Using willpower to control the pills was a skill that Mo Wuji had unintentionally learnt when he was guiding the lightning to strike his meridians. Now that he had a cultivation technique, he no longer needed to use willpower to control the lightning to strike his meridians. Now that he was learning pill refining, he used it on his pill techniques.
One by one, the impurities in the spiritual herbs were removed by Mo Wuji using hand techniques. Then, they turned into dregs and were thrown out of the pill furnace.
The shock in Yan Qianyin's eyes deepened. She realised that Mo Wuji was not bragging, but being too humble.
The spiritual herbs that Mo Wuji purified were definitely at least 80%...
No, it was not only 80%. When Mo Wuji threw another portion of the dregs out of the pill furnace, Yan Qianyin almost cried out in surprise.
