Mo Wuji had already appeared on the second level of the Dan Dao Tower, the layout was exactly the same as the first level, the only difference was that the number of people on the second level was much smaller, less than a tenth of the number on the first level.
Having had the experience of one examination, Mo Wuji directly found a seat and sat down, while inserting his identity jade token into the void recess in front of his seat.
As soon as the identity jade token was inserted into the void groove, the examination questions appeared on the array screen in front of Mo Wuji, “Please write what you need to pay attention to when refining the Immortal Clear Pill? How can I give to improve the colour of the Immortal Clear Pill?”
This was simply simpler than the First Grade Dan Monarch’s assessment, Mo Wuji’s Dan Dao was completely of his own gongfu derivation. For the details of alchemy, it was just like his cultivation, with a watery comprehension. Perhaps this question was complicated for other cultivators, but for Mo Wuji, it was really nothing.
The main function of the Immortal Clearing Pill was to clear the mind of cultivators below Xuan Immortal when they cultivated, preventing them from going off the deep end. This kind of elixir had to be refined without any distractions, and the higher the state of mind, the higher the success of the elixir master who refined it. When Mo Wuji was refining the dan, he even summarised an experience that as long as the Silver Ring Streak Flower, the main immortal spirit herb used in refining the Immortal Clearing Dan, was purified to more than ninety-eight per cent of its essence, he would ironically be able to refine the top tier of the Immortal Clearing Dan.
The impurities of the Immortal Clear Pill come mainly from the main Immortal Spirit Grass Silver Ring Flower, the higher the purification of the Silver Ring Flower, the better the effect.
Of course, this kind of purification was only for Mo Wuji alone, most dan masters were able to purify the Silver Ring Streak Flower to more than 90%, which was already very heaven-defying.
For this situation, Mo Wuji thought about it all the same. If the purification of the essence of the Silver Ring Streak Flower was not up to par, one could try this by adding another type of immortal spirit herb, the second grade immortal spirit herb Immortal Spotted Fruit.
The main function of the Immortal Spotted Fruit was to neutralise with the Silver Ring Streak Flower, this was something that Mo Wuji had come up with based on his own chemical experience. He had often resorted to chemical reactions between some herbs to synthesise medicines on Earth.
This kind of means was just something he had thought about, and had not bothered to refine it. After all, he could easily refine the Silver Ring Streak Flower to more than 98%, there was no need to take off his trousers and fart in general by adding the Immortal Spot Fruit.
Having met this exam question here today, Mo Wuji naturally wrote his thoughts on it.
The first question took him a few minutes to answer, the second question Mo Wuji guessed was to refine the Immortal Clear Dan. Sure enough, after he finished answering the first question, the Immortal Spirit Grass was transmitted, the very ingredient for refining the Immortal Clearing Dan. The requirement was to refine at least one furnace of Immortal Clear Pill that had 10% of top grade pills and 60% of middle grade pills.
The Immortal Clear Pill was eighteen pills, originally, according to Mo Wuji’s technique, he could easily refine eighteen special grade pills. It was just that when Mo Wuji was refining the dan, he thought of the previous answer, once he refined all the extraordinarily high grade pills, wouldn’t that mean that he had refined the medicinal essence to a level of 98%?
Mo Wuji knew very well that the reason why he was able to refine the essence of the medicinal herbs to a degree of more than ninety-nine per cent wasn’t just because of his Heavenly Flame, it was mainly because he possessed the God Storage Complex. When it came to refining pills, the God Storage Complex was more effective than the Violet Mansion Divine Thought.
When the Divine Reserve Complex went to control the medicinal liquid in the Dan cauldron, it was like separating it directly with his hands, clear and understandable.
The God Storage Complex was also considered to be his secret, thinking of this, Mo Wuji slightly reserved and purified the essence of the medicinal liquid to ninety five per cent, directly refining three extraordinarily high grade pills and the rest were all top grade pills.
As soon as the Immortal Clearing Pills were teleported away, Mo Wuji’s jade token emitted a burst of light. The doors to the second to third levels of the Dan Dao Tower were opened.
When Mo Wuji grabbed his jade token and entered the third level, all the people on the second level froze. One person even failed in his alchemy early and was teleported out because he froze Mo Wuji.
There was no way for them not to be shocked, they had never seen someone pass the Second Grade Immortal Dan Monarch’s examination after spending just a little more than half a joss stick of time.
……
After entering the third level of the Dan Dao Tower, Mo Wuji only saw five or six dan masters being assessed. Mo Wuji had long been familiar with the process, and after he inserted his jade tag, he realised that there was only one question in this round of assessment, which was to refine the Small Rain Lin Dan.
Mo Wuji thought to himself that it was fortunate that he got the Little Rain Lin Dan’s formula last time in Border City, otherwise, even if there were medicinal materials transmitted over, he would still be a little hesitant for a while. After all, this was an examination that only had one chance. Even if he was as strong as he was, he didn’t dare to be certain that he would be able to refine the best Little Rain Lin Dan in the first furnace without a Dan formula.
What was an elixir recipe? An elixir recipe could record not only the types of immortal spirit herbs, but also the amount and sequential order of the immortal spirit herbs, as well as the main precautions to be taken when fusing the elixir.
Of course, for Mo Wuji, as long as there was immortal spirit grass, he could just roll it out slowly without the Dan formula. Since it was an assessment, it was naturally the pills that had been refined that were the easiest and most time saving.
A furnace of Small Rain Lin Dan was easily refined, and Mo Wuji refined half of the special grade pills and half of the top grade pills while retaining his means.
This time, Mo Wuji used even less time, he opened the door to the fourth floor of the Dan Dao Tower in just half a pillar of incense.
When he was assessing the First Grade Dan Monarch, he used more than an incense stick of time, and when he was assessing the Second Grade Dan Monarch, he used more than half a pillar of incense time. And when he was assessing the Third Grade Dan Monarch, he actually only used half a pillar of incense time. Other people’s assessment of Dan Masters was that the more time it took to get to the back, the more time he took, the shorter it was.
The number of people who were assessing the Third Grade Immortal Dan Monarch was originally small, only five or six people, Mo Wuji used half a pillar of incense time to pass the Third Grade Immortal Dan Monarch’s assessment, and the direct consequence of this was that it caused two dan masters to scrap a furnace of pills, and were directly teleported out.
……
The fourth floor of the Dan Dao Tower was finally not a large rectangular hall anymore, it was a Dan Room that fully complied with the rules of the Dan Masters. There was only one dan furnace in the dan room, and other than that, there was a room that provided rest.
It could be seen that the Dan Dao Immortal Alliance had also taken into consideration that there weren’t many Dan Kings after all, and that one Dan furnace was already enough.
At the end of the Dan Room was the pale golden staircase, which was covered by the mist and did not allow one to see what was going on inside. Mo Wuji guessed that behind this pale golden staircase should be the fifth floor of the Dan Dao Tower. Mo Wuji knew that even with his ability, he could only concoct a fourth grade immortal dan, which meant the level of a fourth grade Dan King. Therefore, he did not care about this light golden ladder.
Mo Wuji inserted his jade card onto the void groove above the alchemy position, and a somewhat larger monitoring screen appeared in front of him, which contained some rule introductions.
“All dan masters participating in the examination for the Fourth Grade Dan King, choose for themselves the elixir to be refined. As long as the dan is successfully refined and passes the test, they can all take two pills as a reward, and the dan masters can choose their own furnace and flame to refine the pills. Dan masters who chose to refine the Great B True Dan would need to compensate for some of the immortal crystals in the event that they failed the alchemy. Regardless of which elixir is chosen, the finished elixir must be 90% medium elixir or higher to be considered passed.”
Looking further down, there were indeed various kinds of pills. At the top of the list was the Great Ethereal True Dan, followed by the Withered Wood Dan, the Pure God Dan, and the Ethereal Immortal Dan ……
There were dozens of pills.
Mo Wuji could understand that the failure to refine the Great Ethereal True Dan amongst the requirements needed to compensate for some of the immortal crystals. The Great Ethereal Pill was not considered the best amongst the fourth grade immortal pills, but it was certainly the most sought after immortal pill. Moreover, the Great Ethereal True Dan was heard to use, the Great Ethereal True Fruit, which was a very rare fourth grade immortal spirit fruit.
After all, this was an elixir that allowed Xuan Immortals to advance to the Great Ethereal Immortal, it was considered a strategic immortal elixir. Any one of this kind of elixir would sell very well.
Mo Wuji was a little hesitant, if he chose the Ethereal Immortal Pill, it was a certainty that he could become the Dan Dao Immortal Alliance’s Fourth Grade Pill King in half an hour.
However, Mo Wuji really wanted to refine the Great Ethereal Dan, the main reason being that he didn’t have the Dan formula for the Great Ethereal Dan. To a dan master, a dan formula was a very important thing.
He was not capable of combining Dan Formulas that could advance to Great Ethereal Immortal on his own right now, and even if he did combine the Dan Formulas, they would all be below the fourth grade of Immortal Dans.
After a few minutes had passed, Mo Wuji finally made up his mind and tapped on the Great Ethereal Immortal Dan with his hand. Even if he failed in the refining, it would be good to at least know what the Dan formula looked like, don’t wait until later when he was going to advance to Great Ethereal Immortal, he wouldn’t even know the composition of the Great Ethereal True Dan Dan formula.
Failing the Fourth Grade Dan King test, he was also a Third Grade Dan Monarch of the Dan Dao Immortal Alliance. A Third Grade Dan Monarch of the Dan Dao Immortal Alliance should have some status, right?
As for the compensation after failing, Mo Wuji was confident that he could still afford it. If he didn’t have enough immortal crystals, he could also use immortal grid stones to offset the debt.
A faint light flashed, and a bunch of Immortal Spirit Herbs were teleported out, with the jade box containing the Great Ethereal True Fruit being the most conspicuous.
Mo Wuji couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, the Dan Dao Immortal Alliance was really powerful. Such as the herbs for a pill like the Great Ethereal True Pill, people were also casually taking them out for people to assess.
Mo Wuji did not turn on the Dan Flame, but carefully organised the medicinal ingredients for the Great Ethereal True Dan. There were more than 20 types, and apart from the Great E True Fruit, there were also several other more precious immortal spirit herbs. For example, the Fourth Grade Immortal Spirit Grass Immortal Nan, the Fourth Grade Immortal Spirit Grass Phoenix Wood Root, and so on.
Luckily, Mo Wuji had read the Grass and Tree Stones, not only did he recognise all of these Immortal Spirit Grasses, he also had a certain understanding of the characteristics.
After knowing all the portions of these Immortal Spirit Grasses, only then did Mo Wuji turn on the flame to clean the traces of residue from the Dan furnace.
This was the first time since entering the Dan Dao Tower assessment that Mo Wuji had done something so cautiously.
A full incense stick of time passed before Mo Wuji started to take out the herbs into the dan furnace to refine them.
For Immortal Dans below the fourth grade, Mo Wuji could choose to reserve some of his means, when it came to refining the Da Yi True Dan, Mo Wuji didn’t have the slightest idea of having to reserve his all out effort, he was only a fourth grade Dan King in the first place.
Strain after strain of Immortal Spirit Grass was refined by Mo Wuji, and half an hour passed before Mo Wuji threw the residue out of the dan furnace and began to fuse the medicinal liquid. At the same time, the divine thoughts in his God Storage Complex flowed through the medicinal liquid, analysing in detail the fusion of the Da Yi True Dan and some of the medicinal details.
Normally, when Mo Wuji refined a fourth grade pill, the process would only take more than half an hour.
For this furnace of Great Ethereal Dan, he had spent more than two hours before he was able to break down the dan liquid and start condensing the dan. After reaching this step, Mo Wuji knew that with his skills, there was basically no problem with the Da Yi True Dan, the next thing to look at was the colour of the Da Yi True Dan.
…..
On the seventh floor of the Dan Dao Tower of the Sharp Corner Immortal Ruins, the middle-aged dan master who had shaken his head at Mo Wuji stood up abruptly at this moment, staring at the huge array screen directly in front of him, not reacting even when the jade slip in his hand fell to the ground.
