Mo Wuji’s hand hadn’t healed completely yet, and he was worried about another purification of the difficult to purify medicinal liquid. Even though the possibility of this was very low, once the topic was out, he would be straight out of the game.
The square in the Five Ring Desolate Domain was silent, with only the voice of Master Ming Ning Dan, “…… I believe that ninety percent of the people who want to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain are looking for the Flower of the True God. The Flower of the True God is a supreme treasure that can allow a strong person of the third Heavenly Void God Realm of the Earth Realm to have a chance to cross over to the first Heavenly True God Realm of the Heavenly Realm ……”
Involving the Flower of True God, Mo Wuji held his breath even more to listen. He didn’t know much about the Flower of the True God, and he thought that in case he couldn’t find the Infinite Forging Soul Crystal, he would have a glimmer of hope as long as he could find the Flower of the True God and ask Granny Linglong to take action.
“…… The Flower of the True God takes 100,000 years to mature, and can be said to be one of the spirit herbs with the longest maturation time. Perhaps someone is going to ask me, there are too many spirit grasses that mature for more than 100,000 years. There are even spirit grasses that mature in 100,000 years that have fourth and fifth grade spirit grasses in them, so why is the Flower of the True God the one with the longest maturation time?”
Master Ming Ning Dan’s words really attracted Mo Wuji, for this Mo Wuji indeed did not know. He was just thinking that a 100,000 year old Earth Pine Vein was only a fourth grade spirit grass, and the Flower of the True God maturing in 100,000 years wasn’t much of a big deal.
Master Ming Ning continued, ”Because the Flower of the True God must be 100,000 years old before it can be used, otherwise it is simply ineffective. Even a flower of the True God that is ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old is still useless and equal to a weed.”
Mo Wuji finally realised that the spiritual grasses he came into contact with could be used regardless of any year, only that there were high and low grades, and strong and weak effects. This True God’s Flower was really unique, less than 100,000 years old was an unusual flower and grass. No wonder Master Ming Ning said that the True God’s Flower was one of the longest maturing spirit herbs, and no wonder the True God’s Flower was precious, it was simply impossible to cultivate. To be able to live to 100,000 years, even a pig is a True God.
“In addition to that, the Flower of a True God has another characteristic that perhaps many people don’t understand. A True God’s Flower is just like the attributes of our cultivator’s spiritual roots, each True God’s Flower has its own attribute, either the Five Elements attribute or the Wind, Thunder, and Ice attribute. That’s why a cultivator who is at the consummation of the Void God Realm and wants to advance to the True God Realm doesn’t just get a flower of the True God, he also needs to obtain a flower of the True God that matches his own spiritual root attributes, and only then will he have a chance to cross over into the True God Realm ……”
What Master Ming Ning Dan said wasn’t just the notes of the competition anymore, but the knowledge of cultivation.
Just as everyone was listening intently, Ming Ning Dan Master’s tone suddenly lurched while raising his voice to continue, “Our second round of the Dan Competition today is planting the True God’s Flower ……”
There was a sound of cold air being sucked out of the square, it was Mo Wuji who was also sucking in cold air.
Planting the True God’s Flower? One hundred thousand years, Ming Nging Dan Master was crazy, right? Even if they don’t want a mature True God’s Flower, having the True God’s Flower blossom was probably not a matter of a day or two.
Master Ming Ning Dan used his hand to suppress the boisterous square, ”Everyone be quiet, although the True God’s Flower takes 100,000 years to mature, the blooming time is extremely short. Most True God’s Flowers are able to germinate and blossom in as little as one day under the right environment, and if combined with a rich aura and human intervention, this time will be shortened by a lot more ……”
Hearing this, the crowd finally understood. It turned out to be such a comparison, if it was a day or two, that would be acceptable. After all, for cultivators, a casual retreat was as many days as it took.
“When entering the Five Elements Desolate Domain for the first time, someone obtained a batch of True God’s Flower seeds, totalling several hundred. These seeds had all kinds of attributes, and each dan master would receive one True God’s Flower seed in addition to a corresponding attribute spirit stone and ten Xuan grade spirit stones. Now, please ask the participating Dan Masters to each select the True God’s Flower Seed and Spirit Stone they need and wait for the competition to begin.”
Mo Wuji wasn’t ignorant of attribute spirit stones and Xuan Pin spirit stones anymore. Spirit stones were equally divided into attribute spirit stones and attribute-less spirit stones, most people usually cultivated and used attribute-less spirit stones. Attribute spirit stones were divided into the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, earth and wind, thunder, ice, etc., and their value was far greater than attribute-less spirit stones.
As for the grades of spirit stones, Mo Wuji had also enquired about them. Spirit stones were divided into four grades: yellow, xuan, earth and heaven, and there were also people who called yellow grade spirit stones as lower grade spirit stones and xuan grade spirit stones as middle grade spirit stones.
Spirit stones in the usual trading and exchange process, as long as the attributes were not stated, then they all belonged to attribute-less spirit stones.
After Master Ming Ning finished speaking, ten handyman disciples carrying large wooden trays walked down from the round altar.
One of the handyman disciples held the wooden tray in front of Mo Wuji, and Mo Wuji saw that the wooden tray held a variety of crystal clear seeds, each of which was the size of a dried broad bean. On top of that, there was also a spirit stone with a rich spiritual qi.
When choosing the seeds of the True God’s Flower, it was natural to choose the ones that matched one’s cultivation attributes, which would speed up the cultivation speed. However, Mo Wuji himself knew about himself, he didn’t have a spiritual root at all, and could be said to be a mortal root cultivator.
Without even having a spiritual root, how could he go about choosing which attribute to use for the seeds?
“Please Dan Master Lord choose the seeds ……” That tray disciple saw Mo Wuji delaying his move, he got a little anxious and hurriedly urged.
“Okay, okay ……” Mo Wuji stiffly picked up a random seed on the wooden tray before picking up another ten Xuan Grade Spirit Stones.
It was Mo Wuji’s first time seeing Xuan Pin Spirit Stones, before that, all he had used were lower grade spirit stones, or yellow grade spirit stones. It was only when he got his hands on the Xuan Grade Spirit Stones at this moment that Mo Wuji truly felt the concentration and purity of the spiritual energy within them. It was far from what ordinary lower grade spirit stones could be compared to.
“Please also ask Dan Master Lord to choose an attribute spirit stone.” The tray disciple reminded again.
Mo Wuji’s gaze landed on the Attribute Spirit Stones on one side, different from the attribute-less pure white spirit stones. Attribute spirit stones all came with various colours, the fire attribute one was red, the wood attribute one was cyan ……
Only then did Mo Wuji think of what attribute the seed he had just taken was he hadn’t looked at it yet, just as he wanted to take a look at the attributes of the seed in his hand, he saw a blue-tinged spirit stone, which also carried a trace of a lightning arc in it.
This was a thunder attribute spirit stone? Mo Wuji’s heart suddenly stirred as he immediately placed the already selected True God’s Flower seed on top of the wooden tray. At the same time, he smiled at this disciple and said, “I chose the wrong one just now.”
Without waiting for this disciple to react, he once again picked up a seed with a hint of thunder light, a seed with the thunder attribute. The attributes of the True God’s Flower’s seeds were still very recognisable, and the seeds of the thunder attribute were even more somewhat special.
After picking up the thunder attributed seed, Mo Wuji quickly picked up the thunder attributed spirit stone again before saying, “Thanks a lot, I’ve already picked it.”
This disciple looked at Mo Wuji somewhat speechlessly before walking to the next dan master.
In total, there was only this one thunder attribute spirit stone in his tray, an attribute spirit stone that would definitely not be chosen by anyone, and at this moment, there was actually someone who had chosen it. Could it be that this guy still wanted to cultivate a Thunder Attribute True God’s Flower? Even if he was an odd-job disciple, he knew that the difficulty of cultivating the Flower of the True God of a different attribute was more than several times harder than the five elemental attributes.
Mo Wuji even suspected that it was his own illusion, as he felt Master Ming Ningshan glance at him again. By the time he paid attention, it seemed like there was no such thing again.
Regardless of whether Master Ming Ning Dan was paying attention to him or not, Mo Wuji couldn’t care less. He originally didn’t have a spiritual root, but because of the long term use of lightning arcs to quench his meridians, his Yuan Power contained a trace of lightning source power amongst it. It was also because of this slight possibility that this made Mo Wuji choose the thunder attribute True God’s Flower Seed and Thunder Spirit Stone.
Nearly half an hour had passed, when almost all of them had obtained the True God’s Flower Seed. Only then did Ming Ning continue, “All the dan masters have chosen the seeds that they will be cultivating, the competition will now begin. The time is ten hours, and the competition score is still one hundred points. After this round, the scores from the first and second rounds will be stacked, and those after one hundred and fifty will be eliminated.”
With Master Ming Ning’s order, almost all the dan masters started to sort out the soil in the pill altar. By this time, Mo Wuji finally understood what the pill altar was for, this pill altar turned out to be for cultivating the True God’s Flower seeds.
This pill altar was not much more than a square foot or so, and at the edge of the pill altar, there was a sink which was filled with clear water.
Even though Mo Wuji was a Third Grade Human Pill Master, he really hadn’t cultivated spirit herbs before. He had also only grown some medicinal herbs when he was on Earth.
The first time he cultivated a spirit herb, it was at the level of True God’s Flower, which really left him a little speechless. Mo Wuji looked at the other dan masters, and he noticed that some of them crushed the spirit stones and mixed them amongst the soil before watering them and surrounding the seeds.
There was also a part of the dan masters that mixed the spirit stones with water. There was even a part of the dan masters who directly held the seeds and the attribute spirit stones in their hands, as if they were using Yuan Power to ripen the seeds.
Without exception, the techniques of these Dan Masters were all very pure, and it was clear that this was not the first time they had cultivated seeds.
Mo Wuji hesitated for a second or third time, but still adopted the means he used to grow herbs on Earth, turning the soil over once before directly placing the seeds into the soil and covering it with soil, then pouring a little bit of water on it.
Master Ming Ning, who had been paying attention to Mo Wuji, watched Mo Wuji’s actions in astonishment, and in the end, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud. This guy was planting the seeds of the True God’s Flower as if they were ordinary beans, right?
“Pfft!” Qu Wan’er, who had been worried about how she should face Mo Wuji, finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Even if she didn’t know about dan dao or spiritual medicine cultivation, she knew that planting the seeds of the Flower of the True God should never be treated like ordinary beans buried into the soil like Mo Wuji. If this was how one could get a ranking, why not just ask a country farmer to bring a hoe to the competition?
The black-bearded old man beside her shook his head, he also didn’t know if this was Mo Wuji hiding his clumsiness or if he really hadn’t planted any spirit medicine before.
