With everything ready, Mo Wuji stimulated the Green Flame Stone. A light green flame instantly engulfed the entire bottom of the Dan Furnace. Mo Wuji’s divine sense landed in that light green flame, and that terrifying temperature gave him a feeling of trembling.
Mo Wuji fixed his mind and carefully put in a green-coloured Jade Toad Purple Lotus Root Silk once again. The temperature of the Dan Furnace instantly melted the green-coloured Jade Toad Purple Lotus Root Silk into a medicinal liquid, and Mo Wuji’s Dan Skill landed on the medicinal liquid to start purifying it.
Just from the beginning, Mo Wuji knew that he had a chance of success. The power of the Green Flame Stone was not only the temperature, but also the purity and stability of the flame. It made it much easier for him to purify the medicinal liquid. Previously, when he purified the Jade Toad Purple Lotus Root Silk for the first time, he was unable to stop the Dan Technique at all, and even then, he was unable to suppress the penetration of the Jade Toad Purple Lotus Root Silk medicinal liquid’s aura collapsing individual impurities.
And now, although he was also struggling, he was barely able to control it.
After an incense burnt, Mo Wuji swallowed a Soul Protecting Earthly Xia Dan and continued to purify the Jade Toad Purple Lotus Root Silk. After half an hour had passed, even with the help of the Soul Protecting Earthly Xia Dan, when Mo Wuji couldn’t support himself, he finally finished purifying this Jade Toad Purple Lotus Root Silk.
The Spirit Lifting Dan Technique landed on the Dan Furnace, and several drops of the Jade Toad Purple Lotus Root Silk’s elixir liquid was incorporated into one of his Dan Furnaces.
Mo Wuji no longer cared about the dan poison and took a handful of various recovery pills to restore his divine idea and Yuan Power as fast as possible before immediately sending the fire jade that he had cut into tenths into the dan furnace.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to rest a little longer, it was really that the Green Flame Stone simply couldn’t be extinguished once it was aroused. This was 150,000 Earth Grade Spirit Stones, Mo Wuji couldn’t afford to spoil it.
It was good that the Green Flame Stone was very strong and supported for a long time.
Mo Wuji refined and stopped like this, and it was only after more than three hours that the Green Flame Stone managed to extinguish the flame.
For Mo Wuji, the constant transition of consuming divine thoughts and Yuan Power for more than three hours, although it wasn’t as bad as running out of oil, it had reached a kind of extreme. After the green flame stone flame was extinguished, Mo Wuji also sat paralysed on the ground, panting heavily. For more than three hours, he had purified out three pieces of split Fire Jade and three Jade Toad Purple Lotus Root Silk.
This had used up almost all of his recovery elixirs, and had also caused him to suffer a great deal of vitality. His entire face was pale, not much better than when he first cultivated the Seven Styles of Heavenly Thunder.
Even though Mo Wuji wanted to immediately come and refine the rest of the medicinal herbs, he was simply too tired. After bottling the purified medicinal liquid, he directly collapsed on the ground and fell asleep.
Ever since he possessed his divine idea, Mo Wuji had never consumed his divine idea like this, nor had he ever consumed his Yuan Power like this. This time, in order to purify two seventh grade spirit medicines, he had almost even put his life on the line.
After sleeping for a full day and night, Mo Wuji opened his eyes, his entire body was still a little weak.
Mo Wuji resisted the idea of resting for a while longer as he began to refine the fourth grade spirit herbs such as the fourth grade spirit ganoderma, Qian Yuan Ginseng, and Earth Pine Vein.
As a fourth grade alchemist, for him, refining fourth grade spirit herbs was rest.
In just one hour, Mo Wuji finished purifying all the fourth grade spirit herbs and put them in jade bottles.
After cleaning the house, it was only when he was cleaning the Dan furnace that Mo Wuji realised that his Dan furnace had cracked a tiny crack. This Dan furnace was still given to him by Zhen Shaoke, and it could barely be considered a poor inferior spiritual weapon. Unexpectedly, it was broken by him refining the medicinal liquid.
Mo Wuji didn’t care if the Dan Furnace was broken. He put away the broken Dan Furnace and cleaned himself up once more before taking out the pill refining machine. Everything else was secondary, the success or failure of the pill refining was the most important thing. Whether he succeeds or fails, this is the moment. If he failed, he would probably never be able to achieve much in this life. The Vein Opening Pill Liquid had been upgraded to the current level, almost to the top.
Compared to alchemy, pill refining was more familiar to Mo Wuji. He skilfully purified a dozen of ordinary medicinal herbs and then began to add the spirit medicinal liquid.
Even with these steps, he could do his best with his eyes closed. Mo Wuji still kept his eyes wide open, worried about doing any of the details wrong.
Four whole hours passed, and the medicinal liquid in the pill refining machine was refined, slowly flowing into the vials that Mo Wuji had prepared long ago.
Each of these vials was a little smaller than an adult’s pinky finger.
This time, Mo Wuji had refined a full twelve vials of Vein Opening Pill Liquid.
After the twelve vials were completely filled, Mo Wuji couldn’t wait to grab one of the vials and pour it into his mouth.
The long-familiar scorching heat almost burnt through Mo Wuji’s throat, the tearing pain didn’t make Mo Wuji feel half tormented, instead, it almost made him shed tears of happiness.
It was another success in one go, his judgement wasn’t half wrong, as his cultivation increased, the more veins opened up in his body, the higher his requirement for the Vein Opening Medicinal Liquid was.
This time’s Vein Opening Medicinal Liquid was far, far better than the previous two times. It could even be said that this time’s Vein Opening Medicinal Liquid was the qualitative change for Mo Wuji.
The fire line burned like a fire line, directly burning out a new vein within Mo Wuji’s body.
Mo Wuji clenched his fists, this new vein was going to be completely opened, it was just lacking the lightning arc.
……
This was already the seventh day since Mo Wuji joined the Heavenly Enquiring Academy, and Mo Wuji had finally stepped out of his house.
“Senior Brother Mo, are you alright ……” As soon as Mo Wuji stepped out of his quadrangle, he saw a medium sized, somewhat naive looking youth standing outside. This youth was staring at him with a surprised look on his face, his eyes filled with worry.
Even though Mo Wuji was cleaned up, he still had a scruffy beard and his hair was not purposely tidied up.
“You are Brother Chao?” Mo Wuji hesitated for a moment and finally recognised who the naive youth in front of him was. It was none other than the difficult brother who was with him back then, Chao Buheng who was also stuck at the eighth level of the Heaven Asking Stage.
What direction did Chao Buheng reside in Mo Wuji was not clear, he only knew that Chao Buheng was also in the Ting Zone.
Seeing that Mo Wuji recognised him, Chao Buheng grinned, “Yes, I am Chao Buheng. I saw that Brother Mo hadn’t come out for a few days and looked a little tired as well, so I thought something had happened, which is why I came over to take a look.”
A trace of emotion rose in Mo Wuji’s heart, in the Heavenly Enquiring Academy Palace, the only one who could still remember that he didn’t come out for a few days was probably this Chao Buheng in front of him. Chao Buheng’s cultivation level was about the same as his, but he was honest and always placed himself in a low profile. Even Mo Wuji, who was at the eighth stage, he called him senior brother.
“Senior Brother Mo, there are elders in the Hall of Transmission teaching cultivation dao today, if you want to go, why don’t we go there together.” Chao Buheng asked carefully.
Mo Wuji could tell from his question that it shouldn’t be the first time that Chao Buheng came to find him.
“Senior Brother Chao, thank you. I want to try out the Immortal Refining Tower today, and I will go back to the class after some time.” Mo Wuji had just refined thirty-six bottles of the latest Vein Opening Pill Liquid, and the first priority right now was to go and open up his veins instead of going to the lecture.
Chao Buheng hurriedly said, “Alright then, I won’t disturb Senior Brother Mo.”
After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and left, as if he was afraid that standing for a little longer would cause Mo Wuji’s displeasure.
A trace of emotion rose in Mo Wuji’s heart, Chao Buheng was naive and timid by nature, coupled with some low self-esteem. In a place like the Heavenly Enquiring Academy, it was just too difficult and hard to excel.
He then laughed at himself, he was worrying about Chao Buheng, perhaps Chao Buheng was worrying about him.
……
Questioning Heaven Academy Palace Immortal Refinement Tower.
Mo Wuji stood before this Immortal Refining Tower, and he still felt some emotions in his heart. Most half a year ago, he had lamented when he was at the Border City Immortal Refining Tower to open up his veins. He also wondered when he would be able to go to the real Immortal Refinement Tower, the Questioning Heaven School Palace Immortal Refinement Tower to try out.
Unexpectedly, it had only been less than a year, and he was actually standing before the Immortal Refinement Tower of the Heavenly Enquiring School Palace.
Compared to the Border City’s cottage Immortal Refinement Tower, the Immortal Refinement Tower of the Inquiring Heavens Academy Palace was the true treasure of the trial.
The square in front of the Immortal Refinement Tower was the weather. The auras emitted by the many incoming and outgoing cultivators were all stronger than one another, and Mo Wuji doubted that he was the one with the worst cultivation here.
There were very many cultivators who came here to try out, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going. Mo Wuji arrived at the Immortal Refinement Office on the ground floor of the Immortal Refinement Tower and enquired, “May I know how many spirit stones an hour for the Thunder Refinement Room Trial?”
“Do you want to use Sect Contribution Points to try out, or do you want to use Spirit Stones to try out?” The cultivator at the Immortal Refinement Office was a lovely female cultivator, and her speaking voice was extremely sweet.
Mo Wuji had just entered the sect, and after entering the sect, he had been running around refining the Vein Opening Pill Liquid, where would he have the time to earn contribution points? Now that the female cultivator at the Immortal Refinement Division was asking, he hurriedly replied, “I use spirit stones to try out.”
The female cultivator smiled faintly, “Then which Thunder Refining Room are you trying out in? Here, there are beginner’s lightning refinement rooms, intermediate lightning refinement rooms, advanced lightning refinement rooms, and top-tier lightning refinement rooms.”
Mo Wuji thought to himself that when he was at the Border City Immortal Refinement Tower, it should be the elementary thunder refinement room. Now that his divine idea and strength had skyrocketed, and he had even refined a seventh grade spirit pill, there shouldn’t be any problem going to the intermediate thunder refining room, right?
“I’ll go to the Intermediate Thunder Refining Room.” Mo Wuji chose the Intermediate Thunder Refining Room without hesitation.
The female cultivator revealed a cute smile, “An hour in the Intermediate Thunder Refining Room is two hundred Earth Grade Spirit Stones ……”
Mo Wuji was dumbfounded for a moment before he asked suspiciously, “So expensive?”
There was no way for him not to be puzzled, the Border City’s Thunder Refinement Room 2 should be an Intermediate Thunder Refinement Room, but that price was only a few tens of percent of what it was here.
The female cultivator still wore a smile and patiently said, “You can choose to use Sect Contribution Points to try out, if you go to the Intermediate Thunder Refining Room and use Sect Contribution Points, it only costs twenty Contribution Points for one hour. In fact very few people use spirit stones to try out, most people use contribution points.”
Going to earn contribution points now? Mo Wuji naturally didn’t want to put off the matter of opening the vein any longer. He took out 2,000 Earth Grade Spirit Stones and said, “I’ll set a trial for ten hours first ……”
The lovely female cultivator glanced at Mo Wuji suspiciously, “Knowing that it’s not cost-effective to use spirit stones for cultivation, he still booked ten hours at once, looks like this is a rich lord.”
“May I ask if the intermediate ice cultivation room is still empty?” The female cultivator had just thought of this when a pleasant voice rang out beside Mo Wuji.
