Chapter 555 The Results of the Second Round
Moreover, the scores between him and the others weren't that far apart in the first round. A difference of six or seven points was significant when extracting the essence of medicinal liquids, but when it came to refining pills, the difference was negligible. A batch of top-grade Grade 6 Immortal Pills could score eighty points, while his top-grade Grade 5 Immortal Pills would only score thirty.
Perhaps refining a batch of all top-grade Grade 5 Immortal Pills could equal a batch of top-grade Grade 6 Immortal Pills. But that was just a possibility. Mo Wuji had no idea about the specific scoring criteria.
Since he could only refine Grade 5 Immortal Pills, this batch couldn't be too simple. It had to meet two requirements: first, it had to be difficult to refine and of high value; second, it had to be entirely top-grade.
After much deliberation, Mo Wuji decided to refine the most valuable Grade 5 Immortal Pill, the Cleansing Immortal Grand Prime Pill. This pill gave a Great Yi Immortal at the peak stage a 20-30% chance of advancing to the Great Prime Immortal stage. If a Great Yi Immortal at the peak stage had accumulated enough, had other treasures as support, and had a certain level of understanding of their own Great Dao, then taking the Cleansing Immortal Grand Prime Pill would almost certainly allow them to enter the Great Prime Immortal Realm.
Because of this, the Cleansing Immortal Grand Prime Pill was the most valuable of the Grade 5 Immortal Pills. Most importantly, it was extremely difficult to refine, ranking high among all Grade 5 Immortal Pills in terms of difficulty.
The main Immortal Spiritual Herbs for the Cleansing Immortal Grand Prime Pill were the Cleansing Immortal Fruit and the Astounding Sand Half-Leaf Grass. Mo Wuji had just returned from the third level of the Shattered World, and he had some of both left over. Not only that, but he had also refined several batches of this pill before.
The Immortal Spiritual Herbs for refining the Cleansing Immortal Grand Prime Pill were extremely precious. If it weren't for saving Cen Shuyin, Mo Wuji would never have taken out these Immortal Spiritual Herbs in such a trash competition.
That's right, this Pill Dao competition was, in Mo Wuji's eyes, a trash competition. A true Pill Dao competition should first consider how to determine a pill refiner's true level, not just speed. The organizers of this competition, Eternal Wink Immortal Domain, only wanted to get the results as quickly as possible so they could open the Hidden Immortal Immortal Valley. The Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, which was overseeing the competition, was also eager to get the results and enter the Hidden Immortal Immortal Valley.
For Mo Wuji personally, he naturally hoped it would be as quick as possible, but from a professional standpoint, this Pill Dao competition was indeed worthless.
One Immortal Spiritual Herb after another was taken out by Mo Wuji and piled in front of him. At the same time, he began to clean the pill furnace, preparing to refine the Cleansing Immortal Grand Prime Pill.
"I'm not seeing things, right? He's actually going to refine the Cleansing Immortal Grand Prime Pill?" Someone in the plaza had already recognized the Cleansing Immortal Fruit that Mo Wuji had taken out.
Grade 5 Immortal Pills were nothing special; the worst pills in this second round were Grade 5 Immortal Pills. Apart from those refining Grade 5 Immortal Pills, there were also those refining Grade 6 Immortal Pills.
What surprised everyone was that Mo Wuji was refining the Cleansing Immortal Grand Prime Pill. The main Spiritual Herb for this pill, the Cleansing Immortal Grass, was extremely valuable. Although it was a Grade 5 Immortal Spiritual Herb, its value was higher than that of ordinary Grade 6 Immortal Spiritual Herbs.
They had to remember that this time, the pill refiners were providing their own Immortal Spiritual Herbs. Some secretly thought that this young pill refiner was truly wealthy.
Some more observant people were already starting to suspect Mo Wuji's identity. If Mo Wuji was really an ordinary pill refiner, how could he take out the Immortal Spiritual Herbs to refine the Cleansing Immortal Grand Prime Pill?
One Spiritual Herb after another was sent into the pill furnace by Mo Wuji. For him, purifying Grade 5 Immortal Spiritual Herbs was even easier than purifying Grade 4 Azure Pomegranate Immortal Grass.
Mo Wuji didn't know how many Grade 5 Immortal Pills he had refined, and he had even refined several batches of the Cleansing Immortal Grand Prime Pill. Although this Earth Fire wasn't as smooth to use as the Azure Calyx Heart, with Mo Wuji's current level, capable of refining Grade 6 Immortal Pills, refining the Cleansing Immortal Grand Prime Pill didn't present too many difficulties.
He was skilled in dissolving the Immortal Spiritual Herbs, extracting the essence of the medicinal liquids, separating impurities, dividing the liquids, dividing the pills, pulling the pills, gathering spiritual energy…
Because of the level of the flames, Mo Wuji slowed down a little, but the quality of his pills didn't decrease much. Unlike others, Mo Wuji could raise the purity of the Immortal Spiritual Herbs to an extreme. Just by relying on this point, the pills he refined were of better quality than others.
An hour later, Mo Wuji's Spirit Storage Channel began to input the Pill Collection Incantation, and one pale blue pill after another was quickly sent by Mo Wuji into the jade bottle that had already been prepared on the stage. Then, Mo Wuji engraved his name and the Immortal City he was representing on the jade bottle, put away the pill furnace, and waited on the side.
Mo Wuji's Pill Dao techniques were completely different from others, so his speed in refining pills was the fastest. This time, because of the pill fire, his speed had slowed down a lot, but he was still the first cultivator to complete the competition among the many pill refiners.
Despite being the first to finish, Mo Wuji was still very satisfied. The maximum number of Cleansing Immortal Grand Prime Pills was twelve, and he had refined the full number of pills in this batch, and all twelve were top-grade pills. If this result, added to his score from the first round, still couldn't get him into the top fifty, then he could only say that it was his fate.
Because Mo Wuji had finished refining pills the earliest, and his pill collection technique was fast, many people hadn't noticed the pills he had refined.
The cultivators on the plaza who were paying attention to Mo Wuji started whispering again. The difference between Grade 5 and Grade 6 Immortal Pills wasn't very large, but Mo Wuji was actually able to complete the pill refinement before many Grade 6 Pill Kings and even a few Pill Emperors. This was simply…
The biggest possibility was that Mo Wuji simply couldn't refine Grade 5 Immortal Pills. Whether he finished first or last, his score wouldn't be enough to get him a ranking, so he could only put on a show and simply finish first.
What puzzled many people was that if Mo Wuji was putting on a show, why would he use the Immortal Spiritual Herbs for the Cleansing Immortal Grand Prime Pill? The value of these Immortal Spiritual Herbs was considerable.
"Has his Immortal Pill refinement been completed?" Yan Qianling suspiciously turned her gaze back and looked at Tan Liang.
Wen Hou and Wen Lianxi were also looking at Tan Liang in confusion. Mo Wuji was refining the Cleansing Immortal Grand Prime Pill, how could he have completed it so quickly?
Even Pill Dao Immortal Alliance's Pill Kings Gongyang Xue and Heng Jun had only just finished refining their pills.
Tan Liang hesitated for a moment and said, "He should have finished refining. I saw him collecting the pills. But because there is a restriction, I can't use my Spiritual Will to confirm the quality of his pills. I can only say that he has a score in this second round of the competition. I can't be sure how much the score is."
Tan Liang was a Grade 4 Pill King, and even he said he didn't know, so the Wen Hou family could only wait. Mo Wuji had obtained first place in the first round of the competition. It was impossible for them not to have any thoughts in their hearts. They naturally hoped that Mo Wuji could break into the top fifty. Once Mo Wuji broke into the top fifty, then Winkwater Immortal City would definitely be promoted to a Mid-Grade Immortal City.
Once it became a Mid-Grade Immortal City, Winkwater Immortal City's status and available resources would increase several times over.
Mo Wuji waited for nearly two more hours before Hu Zhenyu walked onto the main platform and announced, "The second round of the Pill Dao competition is over. All pill refiners, please stop refining pills!"
At this moment, it was useless for the pill refiners not to stop because the pill fire under the pill furnace had been completely extinguished when Hu Zhenyu announced the end. If the pill fire was extinguished before a batch of pills was completed, even the best pill refiner would essentially waste the batch.
After Hu Zhenyu announced the end of the second round of the competition, a small array pattern appeared in front of everyone.
"Please send all the pills in your hands into the array pattern. The results of the second round of the pill competition will still be identified by the Pill Identification Array. After that, the rankings will be the same as the first round, starting from the bottom right corner with the last place, until the first place result comes out. All pills must be newly refined. If old pills are used to fill the quota, both rounds of results will be directly zero."
After Hu Zhenyu finished speaking, he waited for the pill refiners on the stage to send the jade bottles in their hands into the array pattern. Mo Wuji, like everyone else, sent the bottle of Cleansing Immortal Grand Prime Pills in his hand into the array pattern.
After the pills of all the pill refiners were teleported away, Hu Zhenyu continued, "After the second round of competition results come out, a new ranking display screen will appear. The new ranking display screen will only show the results of the top fifty. The results of the top fifty are the sum of the two results."
After Hu Zhenyu went down, everyone, including the pill refiners, stared at the newly appeared blank array display screen next to the first round competition.
In the first round, Mo Wuji, such a dark horse, had appeared. Before the results of this second round came out, even a few powerful Grade 6 Pill Kings, in addition to a few Pill Emperors, were slightly nervous.
After a stick of incense's time, the second ranking array display screen began to flash with white light. Everyone became silent and stared at this array display screen, preparing to see the upcoming rankings.
Soon, the first line of words appeared in the lower right corner of the array display screen: "Three Hundredth Place, Participating Immortal City, Upper Immortal City Lu Yun Immortal City. Participating Pill Refiner, Gong Ke. Refined Pill, Grade 6 Immortal Pill Immortal Rain Pill, Four Pills Formed, Two Waste Pills, Two Low-Grade Pills. Score, Thirty-one Point Two Seven Six."
Seeing this result, Mo Wuji's confidence rose a lot. Even if he were to refine the Immortal Rain Pill, he wouldn't end up with a pitiful two low-grade pills. It seemed that the quality of these Grade 6 Pill Kings wasn't necessarily as good as they claimed to be.
"Dad, Big Brother Mo isn't in the three hundredth place." Wen Lianxi saw Gong Ke's name come out, and turned her head happily to say.
Not only was Wen Lianxi happy, but Wen Hou and his wife were also overjoyed. Mo Wuji wasn't in the three hundredth place, which meant that the pills Mo Wuji had refined had been successful.
Even Hu Zhenyu looked at Mo Wuji in surprise. Mo Wuji was the first to complete the pill refinement, and he was also the pill refiner who won first place in the first round of the competition. He didn't expect that this young pill refiner wouldn't be in last place in the second round of the competition. The only explanation was that this young pill refiner was truly a Grade 5 Pill King, and the Cleansing Immortal Grand Prime Pills he had refined earlier had definitely been successful.
Such talent, no matter where they came from, had to be brought into the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance.
