"I see you've been observing in the garden these past few days. Seems like you really enjoy planting flowers." Steward Wei's voice carried over from a distance.

Mo Wuji quickly stood up from beside a withered, yellow-edged plant. He cupped his fist in apology to Steward Wei and said, "I was so attracted by the various flowers and plants here that I forgot to go to the steward's office. Please forgive me, Steward Wei."

Steward Wei waved his hand. "It's nothing, just a small matter. I heard Lord Qianshan say you're a gardener. I'm here today to ask if you know how to concoct pills?"

Concoct pills? Mo Wuji was slightly taken aback. His current identity was just a gardener, and concocting pills was the work of a pill refiner. Even in the Immortal World, pill refiners should be more respected than gardeners, right? Why would Steward Wei ask a gardener if he knew how to concoct pills?

Seeing Mo Wuji's confusion, Steward Wei explained, "It's nothing if you don't. It's just that I noticed the scent of spiritual herbs on you when you arrived, so I asked casually. Seeing that you seem to have quite a bit of knowledge about these flowers, how about this? Come to my residence tomorrow, and I'll allocate a plot of land for you to take care of."

Mo Wuji was startled. When he came off Wen Lianxi's ship, he had just refined eight furnaces of True Void Pills. He didn't expect Steward Wei, a manager of the garden, to notice such details and remember them. This Steward Wei wasn't just an ordinary manager.

"I do know how to refine some medicinal herbs, but the purity of the extracted essence isn't very high," Mo Wuji quickly said. He definitely wouldn't be growing flowers here. With that time, he might as well find a place to look for cultivation resources and then cultivate in seclusion. Because he didn't know what Steward Wei meant, Mo Wuji was being cautious.

Hearing Mo Wuji say that he knew how to concoct pills, Steward Wei was overjoyed and quickly asked, "What level of essence purity can you achieve with your refinement?"

Mo Wuji smiled slightly. "I should be able to reach over 80%."

If he were simply refining spiritual herbs, Mo Wuji estimated that he could reach over 99%. If he used the Cyan Cloth Heart, he might even reach 100%. Mo Wuji hadn't refined Immortal spiritual herbs before, but he estimated that 80% shouldn't be a problem.

"That's enough! I'm arranging a new job for you: refining medicinal herbs for the Hundred Flowers Manor. This is much more promising than being a gardener. Although it's more tiring, the monthly stipend is more than ten times higher," Steward Wei said excitedly.

Mo Wuji asked doubtfully, "Isn't the Hundred Flowers Manor supposed to be growing flowers? Why do we need to refine pills?"

Steward Wei chuckled. "Refining pills is the main source of income for the Hundred Flowers Manor. Growing flowers is just something the Manor Lord enjoys. Even so, there are still many Immortal spiritual herbs among these flowers."

"Then what kind of medicinal herbs are being refined?" Mo Wuji asked further. If only spiritual herbs were being refined, he really wouldn't want to do it. If it were Immortal spiritual herbs, he would help out for a while longer.

He had just arrived in the Immortal World, and earning cultivation resources by refining pills was the best option. As for the black stone, Mo Wuji would never touch it until he understood it. Even if he understood it, he would wait until he had a certain level of strength before touching it.

"We refine everything from Rank 1 to Rank 3 Immortal spiritual herbs. The monthly stipend is mainly calculated based on the purity and quantity of your refinements. Don't worry, as long as you do well, it'll be enough to support your cultivation, and there will occasionally be Immortal pills distributed. Quickly come with me first, and I'll take you to see Steward He," Steward Wei said, beckoning to Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji followed Steward Wei out of the garden and casually asked, "Steward Wei, the book you gave me is very good. But why is it all about flowers?"

Mo Wuji had just arrived in the Immortal World and knew nothing about the various Immortal spiritual herbs. His main task now was to learn about them.

Steward Wei casually said, "That was compiled by the Manor Lord. The Manor Lord is proficient in all kinds of medicinal herbs, especially flowers, so he compiled this 'Collection of Hundred Flowers'. As long as you can contribute to the Hundred Flowers Manor, the Manor Lord will reward you. You can make a request then."

As they spoke, Steward Wei had already brought Mo Wuji to the stone gate outside the large group of buildings.

Mo Wuji's spiritual will swept out and immediately detected various hidden and defensive arrays outside the stone gate.

"Come in, try not to look around," Steward Wei beckoned to Mo Wuji and stepped through the stone gate first.

As soon as Mo Wuji entered the stone gate, he felt the arrays behind him close. His heart skipped a beat, but he quickly calmed down. He was just an unknown nobody now. The Hundred Flowers Manor wouldn't need to use such formations to deal with him.

After following Steward Wei around two intersecting stone slab paths, Steward Wei stopped in front of a door filled with restrictions. Then Steward Wei took out a jade token and swiped it on the restrictions, and the restrictions immediately opened.

A fragrant scent of medicinal herbs wafted out, and Mo Wuji followed Steward Wei inside.

In front of Mo Wuji was a hall that was nearly a thousand square meters in size, filled with various medicinal herbs. Seven people were refining the medicinal extracts. Each of them had a ground fire in front of them, and Mo Wuji saw them sending the refined extracts into jade bottles beside them.

Mo Wuji had used ground fire in the Nameless Sword Sect and didn't find it strange. The only difference here was that the ground fire was stronger than the ground fire in the Nameless Sword Sect.

"Wei Wu, is this the new gardener you mentioned? He knows how to concoct pills?" The one who asked was a middle-aged man.

Mo Wuji's spiritual will swept over slightly and knew that this middle-aged man should be a Heavenly Immortal, and his aura was stronger than Kou Yuan's. Although this person's aura was very strong, his spiritual rhymes were not condensed. In Mo Wuji's opinion, his strength was very average. With his current cultivation, he should be able to deal with him easily.

"Yes, Steward He. I asked Mo Wuji just now, and he said he knows how to refine pills," Steward Wei said respectfully.

Then, he quickly said to Mo Wuji, "Wu Ji, this is Steward He of the Hundred Flowers Manor's Pill Refining Room, responsible for the pill refining affairs of the Hundred Flowers Manor."

Mo Wuji cupped his fist at the middle-aged man in front of him and said, "Mo Wuji greets Steward He."

Steward He frowned slightly. Not only was this Mo Wuji's cultivation very low, but he also didn't understand the rules. He actually just cupped his fist at him casually. Did he not know how to bow?

Steward Wei seemed to see Steward He's dissatisfaction and quickly patted Mo Wuji. "Mo Wuji, quickly find a ground fire outlet to sit down and start refining pills."

"Thank you, Steward Wei," Mo Wuji could feel that Steward He didn't like him and seemed to want to drive him away, so he quickly found a ground fire outlet and directly opened the ground fire.

He saw as soon as he came in that all of these were Immortal spiritual herbs. Steward Wei was right, they were all Rank 1, Rank 2, and Rank 3 Immortal spiritual herbs. Even if he wanted to leave, he had to work for a while. No wonder Wen Lianxi wanted to send him here to learn pill refining. This was the best place to learn how to purify medicinal herbs.

Now that he was faced with so many Immortal spiritual herbs to refine, how could he let it go?

"Remember, the losses caused by mistakes in refining will be deducted from your monthly stipend," Steward He said, seeing that Mo Wuji had already started refining Immortal spiritual herbs. He didn't say anything more, just warned Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji picked up a Rank 1 Immortal spiritual herb, the Immortal Yuan Herb. He had seen this Immortal spiritual herb in the jade slip that Wen Lianxi had given him before. He hadn't had time to refine it, and the jade slip was taken away by Qianshan. Now that he saw it, he naturally had to try it.

A few minutes later, Mo Wuji extracted the herb, and the extract dropped into the jade bottle beside him.

"Huh!" Steward He exclaimed in surprise when he saw Mo Wuji extracting the extract. Mo Wuji didn't look very old, but he was refining medicinal herbs so quickly, and his technique seemed very skilled. He seemed to have misjudged him.

Mo Wuji was also stunned when he heard Steward He's exclamation. Was Steward He so powerful that he could see that the extract he had purified had reached 90%?

"Didi!" Just as Mo Wuji was thinking this, he heard a sound from where one of the pill refiners beside him had placed their jade bottle. Then a red light flashed, and the jade bottle was directly thrown away.

Mo Wuji understood that the qualified extracts would enter the jade bottle, and the unqualified ones would be directly alerted and thrown away.

It seemed a bit like an assembly line operation, and he was just an assembly line worker now.

"Steward He, Steward Wei, the Manor Lord invites you," a crisp voice rang out at the door.

Steward Wei and Steward He responded quickly, walked out of the hall, and followed the voice away.

"This fellow Daoist, my name is Wang Hezhen. May I ask what your name is?" As soon as Steward He left, the pill refiner next to Mo Wuji quickly asked.

Wang Hezhen looked older than Steward He, and his hair was a bit gray. Mo Wuji slightly checked his cultivation, and he should also be in the Earthly Immortal Realm. However, his eyes were a bit cloudy and swollen, which was obviously not something a cultivator should have.

Mo Wuji's gaze fell on the medicinal herbs he was purifying, all of which he didn't recognize. It seemed that these medicinal herbs were either Rank 2 or Rank 3 Immortal spiritual herbs.

"My name is Mo Wuji. Please give me more guidance in the future, Brother Wang," Mo Wuji stopped refining pills and cupped his fist at Wang Hezhen.

Wang Hezhen quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, Brother Mo's pill refining technique is much stronger than mine. I estimate that the purity of Brother Mo's Immortal Yuan Herb just now should have reached 90%. Although it's a Rank 1 Immortal spiritual herb, it's extremely difficult to refine it to 90% purity."

Mo Wuji secretly admired him. His Immortal Yuan Herb had indeed been purified to 90% purity. He believed that after purifying a few hundred more, he could increase the purity to 99%. Once he reached 99%, he would prepare to purify Rank 2 Immortal spiritual herbs. When he could purify Rank 3 Immortal spiritual herbs to 99% as well, he would immediately leave Hundred Flowers Manor. There was nothing to stay here for.

This was also why he didn't say a word of nonsense after entering here and started working directly.

"Brother Wang, I'm actually new to this and only know a few Rank 1 Immortal spiritual herbs. I see that the Immortal spiritual herbs that Brother Wang purifies are of a higher grade than mine, and I don't even recognize the names of these Immortal spiritual herbs," Mo Wuji said, cupping his fist. He was planning to ask Wang Hezhen for guidance.

"You don't recognize the Silver Ringed Pattern Flower?" Wang Hezhen looked at Mo Wuji in confusion. The other pill refiners were also looking at Mo Wuji in confusion.

Was there a pill refiner who didn't recognize the Rank 2 Immortal spiritual herb, the Silver Ringed Pattern Flower?
