When Mo Wuji finished purifying and started fusing the medicinal liquid, Yin Shanyin was more and more certain that Mo Wuji’s purification of the medication was no longer inferior to hers, and the purity of the purified medication would definitely be able to reach around 85%.
Mo Wuji was still a First Grade Human Pill Master, and he was able to purify the spirit medicine to a purity of 85%, this kind of potential was definitely something that could become an Earth Pill Master existence.
Thinking about Mo Wuji’s cultivation qualifications, Yin Shanyin once again sighed powerlessly. Mo Wuji was destined to waste his talent because no Earthly Pill Master’s achievement was based solely on their alchemy qualification, the cultivation qualification was just as important. This was also the reason why alchemists were so rare.
Perhaps it was a psychological effect, after listening to Yin Shanyin’s words, Mo Wuji’s furnace of Poison Cleansing Dan was extremely smooth, and as he saw that the medicinal properties were about to merge, he still did not have any problems.
A few minutes later, the fusion of the medicinal properties was complete. Mo Wuji secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, of the dozens of furnaces of pills that he had failed to refine before, none of them had been able to start condensing the pills yet. Now that his medicinal fusion was complete, the next step would be to start condensing the pills.
The Yuan Qi with the hand technique landed on the purified and fused elixir within the furnace, and before Mo Wuji even had the chance to start condensing the dan, he heard the elixir erupt with a “bang” sound for no reason, and the smell of scorching came out immediately after.
Mo Wuji was disappointed as he stopped condensing the elixir and looked at Yin Shanyin.
Perhaps as he continued to fail, he would be able to summarise the problems. But right now, without someone to guide him, he had no idea what his problem was.
Yin Shanyin let out a dark sigh as she looked at Mo Wuji and asked, “Are you keen to know what the problem is with your failure to refine the Second Grade Human Spirit Pill?”
Mo Wuji nodded his head without saying anything, but in his heart, he said, “Isn’t this nonsense?
“You are the most talented alchemist I’ve ever seen, I haven’t seen any problems with your alchemy from start to finish.” Yin Shanyin replied.
Without waiting for Mo Wuji to ask a counter question, Yin Shanyin said once again, “Your problem is not with the alchemy of the dan, but with the dan fire. You used a flame stone to refine the dan, and flame stone dan refining is already much harder than normal flame dan refining. Adding to that, the one you used is also the worst type of flame stone, the Red Flame Stone, which not only has the lowest temperature, but is also extremely unstable. That’s why your drug fusion was a bit weak before you condensed the dan.”
Mo Wuji did not say anything, he just quietly listened to Yin Shanyin’s explanation, he believed that Yin Shanyin would explain it to him in detail.
Sure enough, Yin Shanyin continued, “When you saw Master Qu Dan and Master Shi Dan use the Red Flame Stone to refine a Third Grade Human Spirit Pill earlier, that was because Master Qu Dan’s alchemy realm was already infinitely close to that of a Fourth Grade Earthly Pill Master, whereas the Condensation Lore Pill that Master Shi Dan had refined because of your help could only be said to be barely a Third Grade Human Spirit Pill.
The most important point is that both of their cultivation levels are far superior to yours, and they can use their own Yuan Power in conjunction with the Dan Flame to melt the medicine. As for you, if I’m not mistaken, you should still be at the early stage of Pulse Expansion. I’ve seen the lowest cultivation second grade human pills masters with cultivations in the late Pulse Expansion stage.”
As expected, it was really a matter of cultivation, Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. When he failed earlier, he had considered if it was because his cultivation was not enough? It was because every time he used his Yuan Power in conjunction with his hand techniques to fuse the medicinal liquid, he was always a little overpowered.
“Must one’s cultivation keep up with alchemy?” Mo Wuji asked between his helplessness.
“Not necessarily, there are some powerful dan masters who can still refine top-notch pills even if they have closed their cultivation. But such Dan Masters are few and far between, and even if they are, they didn’t become powerful Dan Masters when they didn’t have a cultivation level.”
Hearing Yin Shanyin’s explanation, Mo Wuji said, “It’s not that I’m not going with you, there’s no way for me to refine the Vitality Blossom Dan at my current level.”
Yin Shanyin hesitated slightly and took out an orange stone and said, “I have an Orange Flame Stone here, the flame temperature is a level higher than the Red Flame Stone, it’s not even weaker than a normal earth fire anymore, it’s very likely for you to refine the Vitality Blossom Dan. It’s just that I only have one of them, there’s no way for you to test it, if you’re willing to take the risk, we’ll go now. And you have to remember, once you startle the Life Devouring Beast, you will only have one chance to refine the Dan.”
After saying that, Yin Shanyin was afraid that Mo Wuji would not agree, then she continued, “If there is a magic skill, I will let you pick it first. If there are no magic skills and we survive, I promise to send you a magic skill.”
“Alright, I’ll go with you.” Yin Shanyin guaranteed that he would obtain a Dharma Skill, so what was there for him to hesitate about? He could cultivate now, and as long as he had a magic skill, he would at least have the power to fight back when he met things.
A hint of appreciation appeared in Yin Shanyin’s eyes, “Senior Brother Mo really didn’t let me down, I’ll lead the way, let’s go now.”
……
Half an hour later, Yin Shanyin stopped at the outskirts of a canyon.
“Could it be here?” Mo Wuji looked at Yin Shanyin suspiciously as he carried a large dan furnace on his back, this canyon was verdant and turquoise everywhere. The various spirit grasses were even more precious than the place where he dug a cave to cultivate and refine pills before, that is, the spiritual qi was also incredibly dense.
Yin Shanyin nodded gruffly, “Yes, this is the place, as long as we enter this canyon and walk twenty or so feet further, you’ll be able to see where the Life Devouring Beast resides.”
“But this place is full of life ……”
Without waiting for Mo Wuji to finish, Yin Shanyin interrupted, “Do you think that the place where the Life Devouring Beasts reside is a barren land where the vitality has disappeared? Even rabbits still don’t eat grass around the nest, a Life Devouring Beast is not comparable to a rabbit. If you meet a Life Devouring Beast, then congratulations, you have found an area with the most vibrant vitality and the richest aura. Because in any place, life-eating beasts will choose the place with the strongest vitality and aura to stay. From a certain perspective, the Life Devouring Beast is also considered the monarch of a region.”
After saying that, Yin Shanyin slapped her waist and a long sword inexplicably appeared in her hand, then she signalled Mo Wuji and carefully walked into the canyon.
“Senior Sister Yin, so many people want to capture the Life Devouring Beasts, is it because the Life Devouring Beasts can find a place where the vitality and aura of the place is the most intense?” Mo Wuji asked in a low voice as he followed behind Yin Shanyin.
Yin Shanyin’s attention was fully focussed as she moved forward while answering Mo Wuji’s words, “This is just a small reason, the Life Devouring Beast also has a more important role, which is that its body contains supreme vitality. This kind of vitality contains too many cultivation truths that can allow one to easily advance. For example, I’m currently at the Perfection of Dematerialisation, so as long as I can obtain the Life Devouring Beast, I’ll definitely be able to cross over into the Yuan Dan realm and become an Earth Realm cultivator.”
“I’ll go ahead and wish Senior Sister Yin the best of luck in capturing the Life Devouring Beast, advancing to the Yuan Dan Realm, and becoming a strong Earth Realm practitioner. By the way, Senior Sister Yin, what is that pouch at your waistline? A long sword appeared with a casual tap?” Mo Wuji only needed to have a cultivation technique, for something like a life devouring beast, it was useless for him to ask for it.
Instead, he had long wanted to enquire about that pouch between Yin Shanyin’s waistline.
“That’s a storage pouch that can store items of larger size. This kind of storage magic treasure is extremely rare, this storage pouch of mine is still given to me by my master.” Yin Shanyin answered Mo Wuji’s words as she quickly moved forwards.
A storage bag? Mo Wuji suddenly wanted to possess one of these treasures very urgently. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for him to go anywhere. He couldn’t carry his pill refining equipment everywhere he went, even though this pill refining equipment of his was relatively small, it still weighed tens of pounds.
“We’re almost there ……,” Yin Shanyin’s words interrupted Mo Wuji’s rambling thoughts.
Mo Wuji raised his head and saw a greenish vine, behind that vine was a cave vaguely.
“The Life Devouring Beast is definitely still sleeping, you should open the furnace to refine the pills now, once you do, that Life Devouring Beast will be woken up immediately. I’ll help you block the flow of vitality, everything depends on you ……”
Before Yin Shanyin’s words fell, a terrifying suction force came, and then Mo Wuji felt a wave of weakness all over his body, as if his life and soul were about to be drained away.
