Two hours later, the anticipation in Mo Wuji’s eyes gradually faded. The medicinal liquid had indeed expanded one of his meridians, but this expansion slowly stopped after two hours. That burning sensation disappearing meant that the power of the medicinal liquid was exhausted. And it seemed that that meridian of his did not open up.
How could this be? As if a pot of cold water was poured down from the top of his head, Mo Wuji completely forgot about the kind of pain that he felt during the expansion of his veins.
That feeling was like a gutter with many blockages in it, and as the water rushed over, these blockages were about to be washed away by the water, and the gutter was about to be penetrated, when the water was suddenly gone. All that kind of rubbish that had been impacted down was blocked at the exit, forming a dam that was instead even more clogged than before.
In Mo Wuji’s previous life, after drinking this potion, he didn’t even wait for two hours before he was assassinated. Therefore, he didn’t realise that not only would this potion not be able to penetrate the meridians, but it would also make the meridians even more clogged at a certain location.
Nope, it must be that the dosage was not enough.
Mo Wuji gritted his teeth and once again opened a bottle of potion and tilted his head back and poured it all down.
If the first time was just a line of fire burning inside his body, then this time it was like swallowing a fireball, Mo Wuji felt like his entire being would be torn apart by this fireball and burnt into flying ashes.
The intense pain caused him to be completely unable to endure it, and he sat paralysed on the ground. At the end of the day, his entire body spasmed, and gasping for air was a little difficult. It was only after another full hour or two that the spasm-inducing pain gradually disappeared.
Mo Wuji stood up trembling as he held onto the bench, his heart was cold. He clearly felt that this second bottle of potion going down only caused him more pain before it clogged up in the same place as the first time once again.
He was certain that if he dared to drink a third bottle, not only would his meridians not be able to leave from, he could possibly get killed.
In a word, he had failed with this meridian opening up potion.
If that woman was to know that his potion still didn’t succeed, I wonder if she would have that little bit of regret. Perhaps she wasn’t regretting killing him, Mo Wuji, but rather regretting not waiting for him to research out the true meridian expansion potion.
Mo Wuji slowly moved to the edge of the table, and he saw the pale and desperate face inside the mirror. He knew that he would never have another chance. From heartfelt elation to despair, there were only four hours in between. After four hours, he realised that he still hadn’t penetrated any of his meridians, he still couldn’t cultivate.
If he was on Earth, he might still have a way to spend time correcting this medicinal liquid. Here, he didn’t have half a chance. With that broken laboratory of Dan Han’s pill refining, it would be strange for him to be able to research this medicinal fluid. Before, he was able to make it, relying more on his experience.
A feeling of weakness came over him, Mo Wuji slowly came back to his senses, he let out a long sigh, there was no time for fate, he casually grabbed the kettle on the table to a cup of water.
No, Mo Wuji took down the cup that was already close to his lips, his face grew paler and paler.
After studying plants for many years, Mo Wuji knew the properties of most plants clearly, the water he just poured had a faint smell of poison arrow wood inside.
This was definitely the medicinal liquid extracted from the Poison Arrow Wood, something that sealed the throat at the sight of blood.
Someone was trying to kill himself, Mo Wuji’s originally lost and despairing heart suddenly gave a jolt.
In just a few moments, Mo Wuji understood what was going on. Because he was of the County King’s bloodline, before he was crazy, naturally no one would care about him. Now that he was normal, he would definitely be known by people who had a heart. Coupled with the fact that he was also refining pills in Dan Han, he would definitely not lack money in the future. Crazy county king descendant no one will take seriously, capable North Qin county king descendant, let people scorn, at least will make that seek North Qin county king position guy scorn.
Mo Wuji gently put down the cup and calmed down instead. The Star Han Empire was so huge, just because he couldn’t allow himself to produce a spiritual root to cultivate, it didn’t mean that there was no way. Since there was still a glimmer of a chance, he absolutely could not give up on himself.
Putting away the two empty green bottles, Mo Wuji’s heart suddenly felt a little more grateful. Luckily, his Vein Expansion Pill hadn’t succeeded, if it had, he would have definitely taken the gold coins and gone to the Spirit Opening Tower again. That would probably be really bad.
Previously, he had been so focused on giving himself the qualifications to cultivate that he hadn’t considered the dangers at all. Imagine that the person who had backstabbed his Mo Family, would he be able to let a normal descendant of the Northern Qin County King live?
A blessing in disguise, but not a blessing in disguise?
An extremely deep sense of crisis came over Mo Wuji, and Mo Wuji knew that he couldn’t continue to stay in Dan Han to refine pills. A rootless person like him, it would be too simple for others to assassinate him.
But where could he go?
“Grandmaster Mo, the people from the Cheng Ling Extreme Pill Workshop are here, the workshop master is accompanying them and would like to invite you over for a while.” Lulu’s voice came, promptly interrupting Mo Wuji’s thoughts.
“Okay, I’ll go right away.” Mo Wuji opened the door, “By the way, this pot of water and cup got some dirt in it by my carelessness, pour the water and help me wash the pot carefully.”
Mo Wuji had always been taken care of by Lulu when he was refining pills in Dan Han. Mo Wuji believed that the person who drugged him was definitely not Lulu, there wasn’t any difficulty in getting in and out of this kind of place, the person who wanted to harm him wouldn’t be stupid enough to let someone else do it.
“Yes, Master Mo.” Lulu’s respect for Mo Wuji was from the depths of her heart. Before Master Mo came, what kind of life did Dan Han Pill Refining lead, and what kind of life did he lead now.
……
“Haha, Brother Mo, let me introduce you, this is the workshop master of Cheng Ling Extreme Dan Workshop, Mi Xiu ……” Mo Wuji had just walked through the door of the Dan Han Pill Refining conference room when Lu Jiu Jun stood up with a laugh, pointing at a young woman and said. The title of Brother Mo seemed to be deliberately showing that he and Mo Wuji had an extraordinary relationship.
“Huh, Brother Mo are you not feeling too well?” Lu Jiu Jun interrupted his introduction, to him, all the people from the Cheng Ling Extreme Pill Workshop had come, and they were no match for a little finger of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji’s face was pale and his walk was a little weak, he was immediately worried.
Mo Wuji waved his hand, “No, it’s just that I’m too tired these past few days.”
After saying that, he then said to the young woman who also stood up, “I’ve heard of Mistress Mi’s great name, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Mi Xiu’s gaze suspiciously swept over Mo Wuji for a moment, and said with a delicate smile, “I’ve likewise heard of Apothecary Master Mo’s great name, and it’s true that rumours are not as good as seeing it in person.”
Mo Wuji knew what Mi Xiu meant, he laughed, “Actually, I’m good and bad at times, sometimes I still think of myself as the king.”
If he really couldn’t, he would continue to go and pretend to be an idiot.
Mi Xiu smiled awkwardly, “Apothecary Mo is joking, let me introduce myself as well.”
Saying this, she pointed to a warm looking middle-aged man beside her and said, “This is the elder of my Cheng Ling Extreme Dan Workshop, Wu He Tai.”
Another nearly sixty year old man didn’t wait for Mi Xiu to introduce him, he took the initiative to stand up and said, “I’m Liu Wansheng, the sales deacon of the Cheng Ling Extreme Pill Workshop, I’m very happy to meet Apothecary Mo.”
Mo Wuji was clear on what the Cheng Ling Extreme Pill Workshop was doing here, so he smiled faintly, “Let’s all sit down and talk.”
