Zhen Shaoru said smugly, ”Isn’t the Dan Duel Competition of the Five Elements Desolate Region about to begin? Many dan masters have gathered here. I heard that a dan master from the Inquiring Heaven Academy Palace has initiated a dan dao exchange, and all dan masters are qualified to go to this exchange ……”
Without waiting for Zhen Shaoru to finish, Mo Wuji asked in surprise, “You’re asking me to go to this exchange meeting?”
“Yeah, are you going or not?”
Mo Wuji replied without half a second’s hesitation, “Go, of course I’m going, we’re leaving now.”
Even if it wasn’t an exchange meeting initiated by the Ask Heavenly Academy Palace’s dan masters, Mo Wuji would still go over. Now that it involved the Questioning Heaven School Palace, he naturally wanted to go over even more.
Zhen Shaoke pulled out a green coloured jade token from his pocket and handed it to Mo Wuji, “Wuji, this is your token to participate in the Dan Competition, if you don’t have this token, you and Shao Ru might not be able to enter.”
……
After arriving at the Questioning Heaven Academy Residence, Mo Wuji realised why the Questioning Heaven Academy was the talker of the Lost Continent.
Although this square on the outskirts of the Five Elements Wilderness Domain was huge, there were also many clans and people who came here, and practically every place around the square was in very short supply.
And the place where the Questioning Heaven School Palace was located not only occupied the best location in the square, it was also close to the middle of the square. Not only that, the area was also the largest of all the sects.
Even though it was a temporary residence, this kind of grandeur was a lot more imposing than some of the sect locations.
“How about it, Ask the Heavenly Palace of Learning is grand, isn’t it. If I can obtain a True God’s Flower in the Five Elements Desolate Domain this time, I’ll also have a chance to enter the Heavenly Enquiring School Palace.” Zhen Shaoru said proudly.
Mo Wuji thought to himself, this guy really doesn’t worry about anything. Was he sure that he would be able to get the rankings? One must know that once he didn’t get the rankings, according to the discussion between Zhen Shaoke and the Second Pavilion Master, Zhen Shaoru wouldn’t have a chance to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain.
“Are the two of you here to participate in the Five Elemental Desolate Domain Dan Master Exchange Meeting?” At the outermost gate of the Questioning Heaven Academy Palace, an odd-job disciple stopped the two of them in their tracks.
Mo Wuji already knew what kind of person Zhen Shaoru was, he hurriedly took out his green jade card and said, “Yes, we are from the Nine Moons Dan Pavilion to attend the ……”
“Go in.” This disciple didn’t even look at Mo Wuji’s jade tag before directly letting him in.
Zhen Shaoru said smugly, “You don’t need to be formal, he probably knows me as the Young Pavilion Master of the Nine Moons Dan Pavilion, so he’s giving face.”
Mo Wuji was speechless, this Zhen Shao Ru’s ego was really good. He was sure that the outer disciples didn’t recognise them as that onion, much less Zhen Shao Ru, really because this place wasn’t supposed to be cross-checked. As long as they knew that they were attending the Dan Master Exchange Meeting, that was all that mattered. From this, it could be seen that the Questioning Heaven School Palace had a friendly attitude towards the Dan Masters who were participating in the Dan Competition this time.
When they entered the gate, there was an arrow that said Dan Master Exchange Meeting pointing directly to the left. Mo Wuji and Zhen Shaoru walked for about ten metres before they arrived at the entrance of a spacious hall.
Without waiting for Mo Wuji to speak, someone had already opened the gate.
The two of them arrived at the large hall, which had already been filled with as many as hundreds of people.
Various kinds of fruits were placed in all corners of the grand hall, Mo Wuji casually looked at them, many of these fruits were even first grade spirit fruits.
The wealth and generosity of the Heavenly Enquiring Palace was evident, when Zhen Shao Ru saw these spirit fruits, his eyes lit up and he rushed over in a few steps, grabbing several spirit fruits with his hands and nibbling on them directly.
“Not bad, not bad, this is spirit fruit, and it’s still free. Wuji, you also come and eat a few.” This bast*rd had the mindset of not eating for nothing, and while eating, he also called out to Mo Wuji.
A few despicable gazes swept over, Mo Wuji acted as if he didn’t see them and directly walked over, grabbing a spirit fruit and eating it as well. This kind of spirit fruit was something that he could afford to eat, but he rarely ate it. When he got spirit fruits that he could eat, other than giving some to Smokey, most of them he used to refine pills.
As for Zhen Shaoru, even if you gave him ten thousand contemptuous gazes, it would still be for the blind. He didn’t even know what a contemptuous gaze was, he only knew that he could eat if he liked it.
Mo Wuji had just eaten a spirit fruit when he heard a lively roar coming from the centre of the grand hall, he hurriedly looked over. A young man, seemed to be explaining some pharmacological knowledge, and the surrounding onlookers were all applauding enthusiastically.
Mo Wuji hurriedly said to Zhen Shaoru, “I’ll go over and take a look, you eat first.”
He naturally wanted to learn some pharmacological knowledge when he came here, and now that someone was taking the initiative to explain it, this kind of opportunity naturally wouldn’t be missed.
Squeezing into the crowd, Mo Wuji finally got a good look at this dan master who was explaining. What puzzled him was that this dan master seemed to be not much older than him. At most, he was no more than twenty-two or three, and his looks were considered average, but it was his red hair, and a tripod-shaped mark on his brow that made a deep impression.
This person was explaining the relationship between good and bad hand techniques and the formation of dan, and was speaking very well. However, it wasn’t of much use to Mo Wuji, who was very skilled in applying both hand techniques and dan techniques, and his utilisation of alchemy hand techniques was somewhat not quite the same as what this person was explaining.
Seeing the surrounding Dan Masters who had gathered around to listen, each and every one of them looking fiery, Mo Wuji carefully pulled a chubby Dan Master beside him, “My friend, may I ask, who is this Dan Master who is narrating for everyone?”
This chubby dan master was listening like a madman, and was very light-hearted when he was pulled by Mo Wuji. When he heard Mo Wuji’s question, he instantly forgot to have a fit and stared at Mo Wuji with wide eyes in disbelief as he asked, “No way, you don’t even know Master Ding?”
Mo Wuji hurriedly patted this fatty and whispered, “Buddy, I’m not in the business of alchemy, so I’m not as knowledgeable as you, so please enlighten me.”
Hearing that Mo Wuji wasn’t an alchemist and treated him with such respect, this fat man nodded his head contentedly, “I’ll teach you then, Master Ding’s honourable name is Zhang ……”
This fatty’s unorthodox introduction almost made Mo Wuji laugh out loud. Luckily, he forced himself to hold it back as he knew that this was what the fat dan master said in order to show respect to this Master Ding.
“…… Because when he was first born, there was a tripod shaped mark on his brow, when the Heavenly Shang Empire’s number one Dan Sect, the Divine Pill Sect, heard about it, they purposely took him away while naming him Zhang Ding. Master Ding became a first grade human dan master at the age of ten, a second grade human dan master at the age of eleven, a third grade human dan master at the age of thirteen, and a fourth grade earth dan master at the age of sixteen. As long as it is related to the dan dao, he will be able to learn it in the shortest amount of time after being exposed to it. We, in the dan dao world, respectfully refer to him as Master Ding ……”
Mo Wuji finally understood this guy’s brilliant origin when he heard this, he was indeed born glowing.
After the fatty briefly introduced himself to Mo Wuji, he no longer bothered to pay attention to Mo Wuji and continued to listen to Zhang Ding’s explanation on alchemy.
As someone who had been engraved with the Dan Ding Seal from birth, Mo Wuji also wanted to listen to his insights on alchemy.
“…… The above is just my insights on the alchemy techniques… Generally, the third grade human spirit pills can be solved with the alchemy techniques, and even the top grade pills can be refined. But there is a kind of elixir that even if your cultivation is strong, you can’t solve it with the hand skill ……”
Zhang Ding’s words carried a strong persuasive power, even Mo Wuji couldn’t help but be brought in.
“Master Ding, what kind of elixir can’t be resolved with hand skills?” Immediately, someone asked.
Zhang Ding nodded, “Good question, this kind of elixir is the Divine Mind Elixir. An elixir that can condense divine thoughts and grow the power of divine thoughts.”
“Aren’t divine thoughts something that can be cultivated only after one has formed a Yuan Shen at the Void God Realm? This should be an Earth Spirit Pill, right?” Another person in the crowd asked.
“What do you know, I’ve just heard that there’s a Third Grade Human Spirit Pill for Divine Mind, it’s just that the formula for this kind of pill has been mutilated.”
Zhang Ding pressed his hand and said aloud, “The friend just now was right, there is indeed a Third Grade Human Spirit Pill of Divine Mind. This kind of elixir is called the Strengthening God Pill, and while the broken formula for the Strengthening God Pill is available everywhere, the complete formula for this kind of elixir is lost. I’ve heard that this elixir can allow cultivators below the Void God, or even below the Yuan Dan, to condense divine idea power.”
The crowd of dan masters let out a burst of regretful murmurs as Zhang Ding continued, “It can be said that the Strong God Pill is an extremely precious elixir amongst the Third Grade Human Spirit Pills, and it can even be ranked amongst the top three of all Third Grade Human Spirit Pills.”
Mo Wuji secretly said in his heart, he didn’t expect the formula for the Strong God Pill to be so precious. It was fortunate that he did not take out the Strong God Pill Dan formula so easily, otherwise, it would be another dangerous matter.
The crowd of Dan Masters were even more regretful, and just at this time, Zhang Ding added, “The loss of the Strong God Pill is not only a great blow and restriction to all of our Human Dan Masters, but it is also a big restriction to the strength of cultivators below the Void God. Cultivators with divine thought power and those without it, those are two completely different levels. I’ve heard that in the continents past the Five Elements Desolate Domain, cultivators under the Void God could also cultivate divine thoughts. From this, if we compare the cultivators of the two places, our Lost Continent is far apart.”
There were even more choruses following Zhang Ding’s words, and some even excitedly stated that they would definitely find the God-strengthening Pill and contribute to the Lost Continent.
Zhang Ding suppressed the many noisy voices with his hand and raised his vocal cords, saying with some excitement, “In order to make up for the lack of the God Strengthening Pill, I have finally researched a formula that can strengthen the invisible divine idea through several years of time. Although this kind of Dan formula is not as good as the Strengthening God Dan to cultivate divine thoughts, using it for a long period of time, it is also able to invisibly enhance one’s invisible divine thoughts ……”
“Pah-pah-pah ……” Another burst of enthusiastic applause rang out, followed by people asking for the name of the Dan formula.
“Master Ding, you are the most talented dan master of the younger generation of my Lost Continent, and the young dan master who has contributed the most to our cultivators.”
“Yes, if Master Ding hadn’t been researching this Dan formula, he might have been a Fifth Grade Earth Dan Master long ago.”
……
Wave after wave of concurring voices rang out from the crowd, and the many dan masters were getting more and more excited.
Zhang Ding once again pressed down with his hand and said, “Shame, shame. When it comes to the most talented dan master of the younger generation, I believe that it belongs to Sister Mu Ying of the Questioning Heaven Academy Palace’s Dan Tower, Sister Mu Ying is the role model of my generation, the dan master who truly contributes to all ……”
“You’re also wrong, in terms of the most contributing Dan Master neither I nor you.” A cool voice came from the doorway, interrupting Zhang Ding’s words.
