The 19th dispensary was not very close to Mo Wuji’s residence, Mo Wuji ran all the way and it took him almost three minutes to reach the outside of the 19th dispensary.
Each dispensary was connected to an alchemy room, and the one connected to the 19th dispensary was the 19th alchemy room. Mo Wuji had also slightly enquired about the 19th dispensing room and why there were especially fewer dan masters who came here to refine pills.
The answer he received was that the Dan Formation Rate of the Nineteenth Alchemy Room was very low. No matter who was refining pills here, the chance of failure was greater than anywhere else, and it was not just a little bit greater. After a long time, fewer people came to the Nineteenth Alchemy Room to make pills.
Wu Kai arranged Mo Wuji in the number 19 dispensing room, which seemed to be a great favour to Mo Wuji, making him feel grateful. Likewise, he also restricted Mo Wuji’s development. Mo Wuji’s purpose for coming had long been stated to Wu Kai, and that was to learn about pharmacology.
There was no one refining pills in the 19th Dispensary, so what the hell was there to learn about pharmacology?
In fact, in Wu Kai’s subconscious mind, he did not want Mo Wuji to learn pharmacological knowledge. Even though theoretically, even if Mo Wuji studied for a hundred years, he would not be able to achieve anything, it could not be ruled out that Mo Wuji was really a genius in alchemy, and as a result, he was taken in by the Dan Master as a disciple.
If Mo Wuji became the Dan Master’s disciple, in the future, even when he, Deacon Wu, saw Mo Wuji, he would have to stop and bow, this outcome was obviously not something that Wu Kai could accept.
“Why did you kid not come until now? Do you still know the rules?”
Mo Wuji had just stood at the entrance of number nineteen when an angry growling voice exploded in his ears.
Mo Wuji, whose eardrums were almost blown out, hurriedly took two steps back before he could see the other party’s appearance clearly, it was a bearded old man. Not only was his beard scruffy, even his hair was in disarray, and there were many medicinal fluid marks stains on his body.
Mo Wuji didn’t dare to look at the other party too much and hurriedly bowed and saluted, “I wasted some time getting dressed and washing up because I was afraid of being abrupt to Dan Master Senior.”
The truth was that Mo Wuji hadn’t slept at all, he was afraid that if he said that he lived too far away, this Dan Master would make him stay in some right away.
Sure enough after hearing Mo Wuji’s words, this bearded old man’s tone slightly softened, after all, when he called Mo Wuji here, it was still only dawn.
“You will now take my token and go to the Spiritual Pill Warehouse to configure these medicinal herbs, you have to go and come back quickly, if you waste one more breath of time, you don’t have to stay here.” The old man threw a jade token and a piece of animal skin paper to Mo Wuji, turned around and entered the Dan Room.
Mo Wuji didn’t dare to slow down and hurriedly sprinted towards the spirit medicine storehouse again.
The Spiritual Pill Vault of the Traceless Sword Sect was inside the Sect Affairs Hall, this Mo Wuji had inquired about. The Sect Affairs Hall was the place where the sect disciples received their monthly cultivation resources, as well as the sect tasks and contribution points. Similarly, as long as one had clan contribution points, one could purchase everything here. It could be said that this was the most lively place in the Traceless Sword Sect.
Mo Wuji was merely an odd-job disciple, and even if he wanted contribution points, he was not qualified. He had to do it for a full year before he was qualified to apply for Sect Contribution Points.
On the way, Mo Wuji looked over the beast skin paper, in his opinion, it was definitely a Dan formula.
There were more than ten kinds of herbs written on the beast skin paper, these herbs included the Iron Spotted Flower, Cang Ma, Green Inferno Fruit and so on. These dozen of herbs Mo Wuji basically recognised, from the properties of the herbs under here, Mo Wuji guessed that this was a quenching dan formula, most likely for quenching the meridians.
Even though he hadn’t seen this Dan formula before, Mo Wuji still vaguely sensed that there was something wrong with this Dan formula. It wasn’t that his alchemy level was higher than that old man, but based on his understanding of plant properties, and his recent insights from studying that Dan book, he felt that the Iron Spotted Flower and the Ringed Cloud Bamboo Buds together would cause the Green Inferno’s medicinal properties to be unstable.
Mo Wuji believed that even the most advanced spirit medicine was still a type of plant. Even if it transcended the plant category, it could not be separated from the biological category.
According to the description of the properties of the Iron Spotted Flower and the Ringed Cloud Bamboo from the dan books he read, these two things put together would weaken the wood attribute of the fire elemental medicinal properties in the Green Inferno. The main purpose of most dan masters using the Green Inferno as a dan formula elixir should be to utilise the fire elemental medicinal properties with wood attributes in the Green Inferno. Once the wood attribute in the Green Inferno was weakened, then the Green Inferno would lose its usefulness.
Unless an extremely powerful dan master could control these three types of elixirs. However, how Mo Wuji looked at that scruffy old man did not look like any powerful dan master.
Mo Wuji didn’t know how much of a role the Green Inferno Fruit played in this Dan formula, and without the Green Inferno Fruit, would this Dan formula still be successful.
These were not something he could care about, who knew if this Dan formula was purposely trying to weaken the wood attribute in the Green Inferno? After all, he was only at the stage of understanding the properties of various spirit medicines, and was half-knowledgeable about the Dan formula.
……
Even though it was still early in the morning, there were already many people walking around the sect affairs hall. Mo Wuji rushed to the dispensing window of the Spirit Medicine Storehouse as fast as he could, handed over the jade token in his hand and the beast skin paper with the Dan formula written on it and said, “Dispensing medicine in dispensing room number nineteen.”
The guy who was responsible for equipping the spirit medicines looked at Mo Wuji with a wry smile, but quickly helped Mo Wuji dispense the spirit medicines.
“Pill dispensing room number nineteen is rather spare.” The disciple who dispensed the spirit pills from this medicine storehouse suddenly said something as he handed the pills to Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji didn’t know what he meant and smiled along and said, “Indeed, this is still the first time I’ve received a pill dispensing task in the past half a month.”
The disciple from the Pill Bank suddenly lowered his voice and said, “Brother, hurry up and get ready to change places.”
“What do you mean?” Mo Wuji stopped and asked suspiciously.
“Do you know what this prescription you came to dispense today is? This prescription is called the Condensation Dan, it’s a new prescription obtained by Master Shi Dan, I heard that it can condense the toughness of the spirit complexes and enhance the cultivator’s potential, it belongs to the Third Grade Human Spirit Dan. Master Shi is a second grade human elixir master, and this Dan is too difficult to refine. Let me tell you, Master Shi Dan has changed seven rooms in order to refine the Condensation Dan. Every time Master Shi Dan fails to refine a Dan and changes to the next Dan room, he will drive away the dispensing handyman disciples of that Dan room ……”
Mo Wuji was cursing in his heart when he heard this. This son of a b*tch was not good at alchemy himself, yet he wanted to take it out on them, the handyman disciples. If things were really as this pill depot disciple in front of him said, then he would definitely be in deep sh*t. He was a servant disciple who had been driven away by a second grade human dan master, and Wu Kai probably wouldn’t keep him in his original residence. Once Wu Kai used the excuse of him being driven away by a Second Grade Human Pill Master to make him leave the Bloodroot Lake, he wouldn’t even have any room to protest.
He had managed to establish himself with great difficulty, found a good place to cultivate, and was planning to go to the sect to seek more cultivation knowledge, so he naturally didn’t want to leave now.
No, this must be stopped.
Seeing Mo Wuji freeze, this disciple comforted, “This senior brother, hurry back and hand over the medicine, then find Deacon Wu to think of a solution.”
In his opinion, Mo Wuji must know Deacon Wu since he was able to go to the 19th dispensing room.
“Thank you this senior brother, I would like to ask if you have any Water Velvet Vines on your side?” Mo Wuji knew that he had to save himself. It looked like the inclusion of using Iron Spotted Flower and Ringed Cloud Bamboo in the entire Dan formula was not to remove the wood attribute in the Green Inferno, but rather that Shi Dan Master was not capable.
The pill storehouse disciple did nod, “Yes, but this is not the elixir that Shi Dan Master wants, if you want to purchase it separately, you need to exchange it with Sect Contribution Points.”
Mo Wuji said with some difficulty, “I only have gold coins, and I don’t have any sect contribution points right now, why don’t I give you a thousand gold coins, and you help me exchange for one plant can you?”
The Pill Bank disciple didn’t care and took out a Water Velvet Vine and handed it to Mo Wuji, “The Water Velvet Vine is very common, just a hundred gold coins will suffice.”
“Thanks to this senior brother, my name is Mo Wuji.” Mo Wuji said gratefully, this Pill Bank disciple didn’t take the opportunity to hack his gold coins, his character wasn’t bad.
“My name is Fei Bingzhu, Senior Brother Mo hurry up and go, Master Shi’s temper isn’t very nice.” The pill depot disciple admonished Mo Wuji again.
Mo Wuji hurriedly excused himself and left, he wanted the Water Velvet Vine just to preserve the wood attribute of the Green Inferno and enhance the rate of pills.
According to the dan book, the fusion of the Iron Spotted Flower and the Ringed Cloud Bamboo would form a large amount of golden qi. This golden qi could enhance the quality of the pills, but that was for Dan masters who had the skill. If the dan master was not capable, this golden qi would easily destroy the wood qi in the Green Inferno. The Water Velvet Vine contained a rich water aura that could nourish the wood qi and make its consumption weaker.
Mo Wuji didn’t dare to use the means of containing the golden qi just because he was afraid that it would affect the effect of the Dan formation. Now that he knew that the use of the Iron Spotted Flower and the Ringed Cloud Bamboo in the Dan formula was not to remove the wood attribute in the Green Inferno, then the addition of the Water Velvet Vine would not only facilitate the formation of the Dan, but also reduce the difficulty of refining the Dan. That is to say that the original third grade Human Spirit Pill, after adding the Water Velvet Vine to protect the wood attribute, maybe some second grade Human Pill Masters can refine it. The only drawback is that the quality of the elixir is slightly reduced.
Alone, Mo Wuji didn’t dare to take the Water Velvet Vine over, he drummed the Water Velvet Vine into medicinal juices and applied these juices to the skin of the Green Inferno.
This practice was also just a touch of luck, once the temperature of the furnace fire was not well controlled, the water element of the Water Velvet Vine would be completely melted away and would not work at all. Mo Wuji was taking his chances, if he could achieve it, if he couldn’t he could only change places.
