卓平安 didn't waste any words. Without hesitation, he took out a ring and handed it to Mo Wuji. "Grand Alchemist Mo, this ring contains a batch of Immortal Spiritual Herbs for the Seven-Veined Kui Ji Pill, along with the pill formula. I'll wait here for you to refine the pills."

Mo Wuji felt that Zhuo Pingan had sealed the small building's restrictive array when he handed him the ring, but he wasn't afraid. He and Da Huang combined were at most evenly matched with Zhuo Pingan, so there was nothing to fear.

The ring wasn't restricted, and Mo Wuji saw over a hundred Immortal Spiritual Herbs inside, the majority of which were Level 7 Immortal Spiritual Herbs. A pill formula requiring over a hundred herbs was considered quite difficult for a Level 7 Immortal Pill.

The Immortal Spiritual Herbs were well-preserved, indicating that Zhuo Pingan had gained considerable experience in preserving them after seeking out alchemists to refine pills over the years.

Mo Wuji took out all the herbs and piled them to one side, then took out a jade slip from the ring. His spiritual sense penetrated the jade slip, and he quickly saw the pill formula inside. The pill formula was described in great detail, even including some precautions during the pill refinement process.

This pill formula seemed perfect on the surface, but Mo Wuji knew it was still lacking something when he didn't see a description of the Heavenly Wasteland Grass being refined to 99.9% purity to become Azure Essence Grass.

The Immortal Spiritual Herbs that Zhuo Pingan had provided were strictly according to the pill formula, without any deviation.

Mo Wuji put down the pill formula and didn't start refining pills immediately. He began to meditate and deduce, since Zhuo Pingan had only given him one batch of Immortal Spiritual Herbs. Even if he was a Level 7 Venerable Pill Emperor, he still needed to use his Pill Dao to deduce before facing a Level 7 Immortal Pill that he had never refined before.

Zhuo Pingan wasn't in a hurry and waited quietly to the side. Mo Wuji's behavior reassured him even more. He had seen pill emperors who started refining pills according to the pill formula as soon as they arrived, and most of them failed. Even if they succeeded, the Seven-Veined Kui Ji Pills they refined only had two veins. Two-veined Seven-Veined Kui Ji Pills were dispensable to him. He had killed all those who were irresponsible towards his Immortal Spiritual Herbs, even if they were Level 7 Pill Emperors.

Even though he was a Great Immortal Emperor, it wasn't easy for him to obtain Heavenly Wasteland Grass, especially since he needed more than one or two plants. Moreover, in recent years, he had found it increasingly difficult to find Heavenly Wasteland Grass. This kind of Immortal Spiritual Herb couldn't be cultivated artificially, so it was one less plant for every one used.

Only those pill emperors who didn't rush to refine pills but deduced the pill formula in detail were more reliable. The longer the deduction time, the greater the chance of refining a Seven-Veined Kui Ji Pill with more veins. Most pill emperors spent about half a year to a year deducing, while very few spent less than half a year.

To Zhuo Pingan's disappointment, Mo Wuji only spent one day deducing before starting to refine pills. To be honest, deducing for only one day was almost the same as not deducing at all. But since he had agreed with Mo Wuji, he couldn't go back on his word.

After Mo Wuji summoned his pill furnace, he once again revealed the Azure Heart Flame.

The Azure Heart Flame was a Level 7 Immortal Flame. The moment this flame appeared, Zhuo Pingan's eyes lit up. Not only Zhuo Pingan, but even Han Long felt a jump in her heart. They hadn't expected Mo Wuji to have such a good thing.

The reason Mo Wuji didn't hide away to refine pills was to reassure Zhuo Pingan about his Pill Dao so that he would protect him wholeheartedly in the future. At the same time, Mo Wuji also knew that with Da Huang, he no longer needed to live as cautiously as before. As long as he didn't casually take out things like the River Luo Book and the Hongmeng Life Aura, it wouldn't have much impact.

Mo Wuji first cleaned the pill furnace and then started throwing in Immortal Spiritual Herbs to extract the essence.

Zhuo Pingan had seen too many pill emperors refine Seven-Veined Kui Ji Pills, and he was familiar with the pill formula. The first step in refining this kind of pill was to first put in the Heavenly Wasteland Grass for extraction because the most difficult part of refining the Seven-Veined Kui Ji Pill was the Heavenly Wasteland Grass. Therefore, the Heavenly Wasteland Grass should be extracted first, to avoid the other Immortal Spiritual Herbs being extracted but the Heavenly Wasteland Grass not being extracted, resulting in too many impurities in the medicinal liquid and then failure. In fact, the pill formula also suggested putting in the Heavenly Wasteland Grass first.

Today was the first time he had seen a pill master refining the Seven-Veined Kui Ji Pill who didn't put in the Heavenly Wasteland Grass first, but the Motley Mulberry Stem.

Seeing that Mo Wuji first put the Motley Mulberry Stem into the pill furnace, Zhuo Pingan's face became a little gloomy. He began to wonder if Mo Wuji's words were just boasting, since Mo Wuji was too young. He knew that whether it was Pill Dao or Tool Dao, it was accumulated over countless years. Could Mo Wuji, who was less than a thousand years old, really become a Level 7 Pill Emperor?

While his thoughts were racing, Mo Wuji had already successively thrown the remaining Immortal Spiritual Herbs into the pill furnace. At this moment, the dregs of the extracted herbs began to be discarded, showing how fast Mo Wuji's extraction speed was. In Zhuo Pingan's impression, other pill emperors had to extract the Heavenly Wasteland Grass for at least an hour before putting in other Immortal Spiritual Herbs, and then after another one or two hours, they would start discarding the Immortal Spiritual Herb residue. The speed at which they discarded the residue wasn't as exaggerated as Mo Wuji's.

He didn't know that Mo Wuji could be said to be the number one Immortal Spiritual Herb extractor in the entire Immortal World. For Mo Wuji, the reason he put in the Motley Mulberry Stem first wasn't to be unconventional. He knew more than any other pill master about the difficulty of extracting the Heavenly Wasteland Grass. The reason why the Heavenly Wasteland Grass was called Heavenly Wasteland Grass was because the impurities and essence were mixed together, with the meaning of "heaven and earth never change," making it impossible to extract.

If it couldn't even be extracted, what was there to talk about refining pills? Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary pill masters, the Heavenly Wasteland Grass couldn't be used for refining pills. Only pill masters above Level 7 Pill Emperor could barely use the Heavenly Wasteland Grass in pills. But whether the medicinal effect was self-deception, only the pill masters themselves knew.

Mo Wuji had also extracted the Heavenly Wasteland Grass before and knew how difficult it was to extract. However, Mo Wuji was only a Level 4 Pill King at the time, and now he was a Level 7 Pill Emperor, and his cultivation base was far from what it used to be. Therefore, Mo Wuji believed that he could at least extract the Heavenly Wasteland Grass to about 90% purity.

The reason he put in the Motley Mulberry Stem first was because the Motley Mulberry Stem medicinal liquid was the most resistant to heat and wouldn't lose any spirituality due to time consumption. This was just a trivial point in the entire pill refinement process, and Mo Wuji had even calculated this little bit in order to refine the perfect Seven-Veined Kui Ji Pill.

Two hours passed, and Mo Wuji stopped continuing to extract. Just as he had expected, now that his Pill Dao strength and cultivation strength had improved, extracting the Heavenly Wasteland Grass was much easier. The reason he stopped was because he felt that the Heavenly Wasteland Grass essence he had extracted had reached 90% purity. If he continued to extract, it might approach 99.9%. Once it reached 99.9%, it would be the real Azure Essence Grass.

Mo Wuji guessed that he might not be able to extract the Heavenly Wasteland Grass to 99.9% purity now, but whether he believed it or not, he didn't want to try it here. He didn't want to refine a real Seven-Veined Kui Ji Pill yet, so he couldn't extract the Heavenly Wasteland Grass into Azure Essence Grass.

Zhuo Pingan looked at Mo Wuji's complicated hand gestures and the Immortal Spiritual Herb residue that was constantly being discarded, and he actually began to suspect whether the previous pill emperors were all fake, and only this Grand Alchemist Mo was the real deal?

In fact, the most difficult part of the Seven-Veined Kui Ji Pill wasn't refining the pills, the first difficulty was extracting the Heavenly Wasteland Grass, and the second difficulty was fusing life force.

These two points had almost no impact on Mo Wuji. Part of the life force in his Life Meridian had silently poured into the pill furnace.

Even if he couldn't refine the Seven-Veined Kui Ji Pill, Mo Wuji wouldn't inject his own life force into the pill furnace for Zhuo Pingan.

With the injection of life force and the extremely high purity of the various Immortal Spiritual Herbs that Mo Wuji had extracted, the fusion of the liquids became easier.

Another two hours later, Mo Wuji waved his hand, and six Seven-Veined Kui Ji Pills with a faint cyan color were taken by Mo Wuji to the jade plate beside him.

Each of these six pills had five faint gray veins, and the aura of life force was constantly surging.

"Did you really succeed in refining them? And they are still Five-Veined Superior Immortal Pills?" Zhuo Pingan stood up excitedly, staring intently at the jade plate in Mo Wuji's hand.

If they were refined by another pill master, he would have grabbed one and swallowed it to try it out. But he was really a little afraid of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji wasn't afraid of him, a Great Immortal Emperor, and he was really capable.

"Fellow Daoist Zhuo, you're wrong again. These pills look like superior pills, but in fact, they are barely above average. They should be considered medium-grade and above," Mo Wuji explained.

Even though he had only refined one batch of Seven-Veined Kui Ji Pills, he knew more about this pill than Zhuo Pingan. How could a Seven-Veined Kui Ji Pill without seven veins be a superior pill? The Five-Veined Kui Ji Pills he had refined now could only be considered medium-grade Immortal Pills. He was sure that the Seven-Veined Kui Ji Pills that Zhuo Pingan had used before were basically low-grade Immortal Pills.

"Grand Alchemist Mo, can I try one of these pills?" Zhuo Pingan rubbed his hands, a hint of desire in his eyes. The previous hostility and the majesty of a Great Immortal Emperor had long disappeared at this moment.

Mo Wuji pushed all six Five-Veined Kui Ji Pills over. "These were originally refined for you. Take one."

Zhuo Pingan couldn't wait to grab a Five-Veined Kui Ji Pill and throw it into his mouth. After just a few breaths, an unbelievable light shot out from his eyes.

Then, his pale skin seemed to have gained some color, and even Han Long could feel that Zhuo Pingan's life force seemed to be increasing, and something indescribable began to stabilize in his body.

"Good pill, Grand Alchemist Mo. I was blind before. I almost missed Grand Alchemist Mo. Please forgive me, Grand Alchemist Mo." A Great Immortal Emperor had this kind of magnanimity, not to mention that Zhuo Pingan was really happy at this moment. He had finally met an alchemist who could help him refine Immortal Pills. He saw the hope of his recovery.

Mo Wuji nodded, not being polite. After Zhuo Pingan's excitement subsided a little, he pretended to be tired and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhuo, refining this Seven-Veined Kui Ji Pill for you is life-shortening. I'm a little tired now. The next batch of pills will take a long time to refine."
