Immortal Mortal

Although Mo Wuji could tell that Alchemist Shi hadn't extracted the medicine completely, he couldn't even purify it himself. Purifying the elixir is a cumbersome and complicated process. Mo Wuji is still learning the various characteristics and compatibility of the elixir at this stage, and it is not yet time to purify the elixir.

Moreover, purifying the elixir requires a lot of elixir practice, and with his current wealth, he simply doesn't have the strength to learn it.

Another hour passed, and Mo Wuji gradually smelled the fragrance of Dan. The excitement on Shi alchemist's face became more and more intense, he vaguely sensed that today's alchemy luck is indeed better than before.

At this time, alchemist Shi finally dropped the shovel in his hand, and the flame in the alchemy furnace was also weakened by him. His hands kept patting on the surface of the furnace, and Mo Wuji seemed to see several pills rolling in the furnace.

With a click, Mo Wuji saw Alchemist Shi reach out and push the handle next to the alchemy furnace up, and patted the surface of the alchemy furnace with his hand. Six green and reddish pills fell into the jade bottle next to it.

Hahahaha... Seeing these six elixirs flying out, Alchemist Shi laughed out loud, unable to hide the complacency and excitement in his eyes.

Mo Wuji was a little disappointed, to be honest. Although he can't do what Shi alchemist did just now, but he really can't admire Shi alchemist's technique and process of alchemy. It can be said that apart from the initial action of removing the residue in the alchemy furnace, which made him feel a little handsome, there was nothing he admired in other processes.

He didn't see the hand formula and alchemy formula needed for alchemy in the legend, what he saw was a spatula. He didn't see the legendary Pill Fire either, what he saw was Earth Fire. He also didn't see the legendary collection of pills, what he saw was just slapping the pills out of the pill furnace.

Third-rank elixir, I have finally refined a third-rank elixir, or Condensation Pill. I, Shi Jun, am now a third-rank human alchemist. Master, you said that my qualifications are limited and I will never be able to enter the ranks of third-rank human alchemists, but I did it today... Shi Danshi seemed to be getting more and more excited as he grabbed the jade bottle.

Mo Wuji sighed, is this Fan Jinzhong Ju?

This guy's master is not wrong, with his alchemy methods and aptitude, it is indeed difficult to step into the ranks of third-rank alchemists. Even if Mo Wuji hadn't become a real alchemist yet, he could tell that this stone alchemist had limited aptitude for alchemy.

Acquired diligence can make up for many congenital deficiencies. But in some industries, no matter how hard-working the day after tomorrow, it is difficult to succeed without talent. Plant research scientists on earth are such an industry, and this thing sometimes relies on an innate feeling.

You are right, you are indeed a lucky star. For this Condensation Pill, I have failed in eleven furnaces. It is indeed true that I called you to the pill room today. I succeeded in refining it. I have found a real third-rank human alchemist. Shi Jun's tone was still excited, and he used three of them in a row.

Mo Wuji thought to himself, looking at your appearance, not only did you have no foresight in choosing your name, but you also didn't have foresight in your alchemy level. I don't believe that you can refine the same batch of Condensation Pill next time without me. It's better to be your second-rank alchemist honestly. Third grade alchemist? You really think too much.

Before, he thought that this stone alchemist had failed seven times, but he didn't expect that this guy had already failed eleven times. If he hadn't helped him himself, he would have failed the twelfth time.

Congratulations to Alchemist Shi, this disciple is leaving. Mo Wuji had no interest in staying here and listening to this guy bragging.

Shi Jun said suddenly, Don't rush away, what's your name?

Disciple Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji quickly replied, although he felt that this Shi Jun didn't have much future. But he knew very well in his heart that in the sect, compared to him, this alchemist was equal to the gap between the bright moon in the sky and a firefly. He cannot offend such a person.

Shi Jun nodded in satisfaction, You are very good, just follow me from now on and help me deliver the medicinal materials.

Mo Wuji was shocked. Didn't this mean that he wanted to court death? With this alchemist's alchemy ability, he would fail eleven out of ten times in refining the third-grade elixir. The extra one is because of the ten times of alchemy, he needs at least eleven medicinal materials.

Senior, this junior has always been the apprentice of the handyman in No. 19 Dispensing Room. It is inconvenient for me to go with him. Please forgive me. Mo Wuji refused without hesitation.

Shi Jun looked at Mo Wuji in disbelief, what a great opportunity this is? If it was replaced by another handyman disciple, I am afraid that he would already be kneeling on the ground to thank him. How could Mo Wuji be like this, not only did he not thank him, but he also didn't want to go with him.

Did I hear you right? Do you know what you just said? Do you know what you will miss if you refuse? Shi Jun finally regained his composure and asked even more incomprehensibly.

Mo Wuji said in his heart, I know too well. Going with a mediocre alchemist like you, it's a strange thing to have a future. I would rather make medicine here, and then learn some alchemy methods of other alchemists. Do you want to learn cooking with you? I'm really not interested.

After confirming that Mo Wuji really didn't want to follow him as a handyman who prepared medicinal materials for him, Shi Jun snorted coldly, threw a jade bottle to Mo Wuji, then turned and left. A handyman disciple dared to refuse such a good thing, which made him extremely angry. However, he said that becoming a Dan would give Mo Wuji some benefits, and he would not break his promise to a handyman disciple like Mo Wuji.

Naturally, Mo Wuji would not refuse Shi Jun's reward, which was what he deserved. His water velvet vines were also bought with money, if he hadn't added water velvet vines, Shi Jun's batch of condensing pills would definitely have failed.

Looking at the bottle in his hand, Mo Wuji thought, even if the elixirs inside were worthless, this jade bottle could still be worth some money. His medicine for opening the pulse can't afford jade bottles, they are all glass bottles the size of little fingers.

On the outside of the jade bottle that Shi Jun gave was written Qi Condensation Pill, which is suitable for practitioners at the early stage of Tuomai, and can increase the speed of practitioners' cultivation. However, Mo Wuji felt that this pill was of little use to him. It was enough for him to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and he didn't need this kind of condensing pill at all.

Putting away the elixir, Mo Wuji didn't care about Shi Jun's anger. He returned to his residence and continued to study the wordless elixir book.

Although Shi Jun's alchemy skills were poor in Mo Wuji's eyes, he still learned a lot from Shi Jun. In the next stage, he will start to study the purification of medicinal materials. Purification of medicinal materials is different from the principle of the characteristics of elixir, and it needs to be done manually. He had to buy some low-level elixir and come back, learning while doing it.

It's just that he doesn't have many gold coins on him, and even the cheapest elixir costs more than tens of gold coins. A slightly better elixir can easily cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins. No matter how good the elixir is, I heard that gold coins cannot be purchased, and spirit stones must be used.

Mo Wuji had only heard about Lingshi as a unit of currency, but had never seen it, let alone used it. I heard that spirit stones can be used not only as currency, but also as resources for cultivation. The spiritual energy contained in it is countless times richer than the external spiritual energy, and it is also easy to absorb and transform vitality.

To purify medicinal materials, in addition to elixir practice, a high-level alchemy furnace is also needed. Mo Wuji couldn't even afford the elixir, so naturally the pill furnace couldn't afford it even more.

After looking at Yan'er who had fallen asleep peacefully, Mo Wuji decided to seek Wu Kai's help. He needs someone to take care of Yan'er, and then go out to find some spiritual herbs by himself instead of spending money to buy them.
