"How could it be..." Before the other Pill Refiner could finish his question, he froze and stood up, staring in shock at the massive formation screen in front of them.

On the massive formation screen, a row of golden characters appeared: "Congratulations to Pill Refiner Chang Luo, Mo Wuji, for passing the certification test of the fourth level of the Pill Dao Tower. He refined twelve Greater Yi True Pills, all of which are of the highest quality, and has become a Grade Four Venerable Immortal Pill King certified by the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance."

"Venerable...Venerable... It's actually Venerable..."

After repeating it a few times, the two finally reacted and asked almost simultaneously, "Who is Mo Wuji?"

This kind of formation screen only shows congratulations after someone successfully becomes a Pill King. And only Pill Refiners from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance's Sharp Corner Immortal Ruin branch who enter the Pill Dao Tower will appear on this formation screen.

"Today, only three Pill Refiners went in for assessment from our place. One of them has already failed and been teleported out. There are still two people, one is Wang He, his Pill Dao level is at most about the same as mine, he should be at the Grade Two Pill Sovereign level, and another..." The Pill Refiner who stood up first paused abruptly.

The two looked at each other again, seemingly understanding something. They both began to check the records below. After a moment, they looked up at each other again and said, "It's the last one who went in..."

Without saying anything further, both of them understood who the last person who went in was. It was that impetuous, ambitious young man in their eyes.

"How is this possible? How long has he been in there, and he's already reached the fourth level?" The Pill Refiner who stood up first looked somewhat lost.

The other Pill Refiner was equally stunned, muttering, "It's not just a matter of how long he's been in there, but he's actually Venerable, a Venerable Pill King..."

Both of them knew very well what Venerable meant. The same Immortal Pill King, but there was a huge difference between Venerable and ordinary Pill Kings. Venerable Immortal Pill Kings were extremely rare. Even a Grade Four Venerable Immortal Pill King was sometimes more popular than a Grade Six Immortal Pill King. Because to become a Grade Four Venerable Immortal Pill King, all the pills must be of the highest quality during the assessment.

It could be said that only a Venerable Immortal Pill King had the opportunity to become a true Pill Emperor.

...

Mo Wuji looked happily at the pills he had stored away. A full batch of Greater Yi True Pills was twelve pills. He had not only refined a full batch, but all twelve were of the highest quality.

Without any hesitation, Mo Wuji took out a jade bottle, filled it with two high-quality pills, stored it away, and then sent the jade bottle into the teleportation array pattern.

In just a dozen breaths, a faint golden light appeared in the Pill Room, followed by a series of pleasant celestial sounds. In the golden light, a row of words appeared: "Congratulations to Pill Refiner Chang Luo, Mo Wuji, for passing the certification test of the fourth level of the Pill Dao Tower. He refined twelve Greater Yi True Pills, all of which are of the highest quality, and has become a Grade Four Venerable Immortal Pill King certified by the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance."

This row of words floated in the air above the Pill Room for a long time without dissipating, while the golden staircase at the end of the Pill Room became clear, indicating that the path to the fifth level of the Pill Dao Tower had been opened.

Mo Wuji was a little dazed. He did not go to the fifth level immediately, but looked at the congratulatory words. Grade Four Venerable Immortal Pill King? How did two extra words appear?

After a moment, Mo Wuji understood that it must be because he had refined a batch of high-quality Greater Yi True Pills that he had become a Venerable Immortal Pill King.

In any case, this Grade Four Venerable Immortal Pill King was definitely better than an ordinary Grade Four Immortal Pill King.

Thinking this through, Mo Wuji was even more delighted. He grabbed his jade token and walked towards the golden staircase leading to the fifth level of the Pill Dao Tower.

The structure of the fifth level of the Pill Dao Tower was similar to the fourth level. Mo Wuji hesitated in front of the pill furnace, but still placed his jade token into the empty slot in front of the seat.

He knew that he definitely couldn't refine Grade Five Immortal Pills. That didn't matter; he was very satisfied with the title of Grade Four Immortal Pill King. The reason why he inserted his identity jade token was to see what Grade Five Immortal Pills were available. If there were pills that didn't require compensation, he could try to refine them and create a simple pill formula. If compensation was required, he definitely wouldn't refine them, because he was afraid that he really couldn't afford it. The value of the immortal spirit herbs for Grade Five Immortal Pills was not small, and he didn't want to bankrupt himself.

After Mo Wuji sent his jade token into the slot, a large formation screen immediately appeared. The rules on the formation screen made Mo Wuji very happy. In the fifth level of the Pill Dao Tower assessment, no compensation of immortal crystals was required for any pill that failed to be refined. Moreover, once the refinement was successful, the Pill Refiner could take away 50% of the pills.

Mo Wuji didn't want to refine pills successfully; he mainly wanted to get a pill formula. Since no compensation was required for failure, he could choose the pill formula he wanted most. Even if he failed, he could still record the formula. Although this kind of pill formula was the most rudimentary, with only the names of the immortal spirit herbs and no more specific details, it was enough for Mo Wuji. He believed that with his Pill Dao level, he could quickly improve the formula and then refine the pill.

After the rules flashed by, Mo Wuji saw twenty or thirty pill formulas.

The first on the list was the Purifying Immortal Grand Supreme Pill, followed by the Jade Balance Golden Pill, the Purple Void Clear Pill, the Double Life Reincarnation Pill...

Mo Wuji's eyes fell on the Extreme Wasteland Pill. He had seen this pill on a broken jade slip. It was a pill that was not available for purchase on the market. Although there was no "God" character in the name of this pill, its main function was to increase divine thought. It could not only strengthen divine thought but also nourish and solidify the primordial spirit, making it extremely precious. If one had a cultivation technique for divine thought, this pill would be a perfect match.

Moreover, the Extreme Wasteland Pill had a sister pill called the Extreme Azure Pill. The Extreme Azure Pill was even more precious than the Extreme Wasteland Pill. Although the Extreme Azure Pill could not strengthen divine thought, it could repair damaged divine thought and replenish divine thought depletion. In addition, this pill could also repair damage to the primordial spirit. Pills that could restore and repair damage to the primordial spirit were extremely rare, which showed how precious the Extreme Azure Pill was.

Mo Wuji quickly looked down, but unfortunately, there was no Extreme Azure Pill among these twenty-odd Grade Five Immortal Pills. This made Mo Wuji feel a little disappointed. If there was an Extreme Azure Pill, he would have chosen it without hesitation.

Since there was no Extreme Azure Pill, Mo Wuji's first choice was the Extreme Wasteland Pill.

For ordinary people, perhaps the Purifying Immortal Grand Supreme Pill was more precious, because this pill could allow Grand Yi Immortals to advance to Grand Supreme Immortals. For Mo Wuji, the Purifying Immortal Grand Supreme Pill was too distant. He was only in the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm now, and he didn't know when he would advance to the Grand Supreme Immortal realm. The Extreme Wasteland Pill, on the other hand, could be used now. His divine abilities and techniques were mostly based on strong divine thought. This kind of immortal pill that could strengthen divine thought was like sending charcoal in the snow to him.

It would be the Extreme Wasteland Pill. Mo Wuji unhesitatingly tapped on the Extreme Wasteland Pill.

A pile of immortal spirit herbs was immediately teleported to his pill refinement location.

Dust Washing Immortal Bamboo Shoots, Celestial Pivot Marrow, Flowerless Jia Fruit, Heavenly Wasteland Grass...

Heavenly Wasteland Grass? Mo Wuji picked up an extremely ordinary small grass. It looked no different from ordinary grass. The only special thing was that this grass had no roots. The description of the Heavenly Wasteland Grass in the Herb and Stone Manual was very clear: this grass only grew in uninhabited void areas. This void referred to places without vitality, without five elements, and even without primordial energy. It could be the void, the starry sky, or even a corner of a planet.

In the pill formulas that Mo Wuji knew, there was no pill formula that used Heavenly Wasteland Grass. The introduction of this grass was very clear: it was difficult to extract its essence, because the impurities and essence were completely mixed together, making it impossible to separate them. The Herb and Stone Manual said that because of this, the Heavenly Wasteland Grass had this name, meaning that the impurities and essence would forever endure together. Therefore, this grass could not be consumed alone, and refining it into pills was meaningless.

He didn't expect that this grass was an immortal spirit herb for refining the Extreme Wasteland Pill. Unfortunately, he didn't know the role of the Heavenly Wasteland Grass in the Extreme Wasteland Pill.

After recording the immortal spirit herbs for the Extreme Wasteland Pill, Mo Wuji immediately began to refine the Extreme Wasteland Pill.

The Extreme Wasteland Pill was a Grade Five Immortal Pill. According to Mo Wuji's experience, it was definitely one of the most difficult pills to refine among Grade Five Immortal Pills.

After opening the pill fire and cleaning the pill furnace, Mo Wuji sent the immortal spirit herbs for the Extreme Wasteland Pill into the pill furnace one by one. He didn't know the order of the immortal spirit herbs for refining the Extreme Wasteland Pill, so he could only put the immortal spirit herbs in at random according to his own thoughts.

Fortunately, Mo Wuji was definitely top-notch at extracting the essence of immortal spirit herbs. He easily extracted the essence of the other immortal spirit herbs to above 98% purity. Finally, he put in the Heavenly Wasteland Grass.

As soon as the Heavenly Wasteland Grass entered the pill furnace, Mo Wuji was dumbfounded. The impurities of this immortal spirit herb instantly merged into the immortal spirit herb liquid that he had already purified. His pill hand seals could not stop it at all. Moreover, these impurities and essence were completely and tightly fused together. With Mo Wuji's methods for purifying immortal spirit herbs, he didn't know how to remove these impurities.

If this furnace of medicinal liquid was described as countless atoms, then the atoms of the Heavenly Wasteland Grass and these atoms had completely formed one entity. Once forced purification was carried out, it would directly destroy the entire medicinal liquid, leading to the failure of this furnace of pills.

Fortunately, Mo Wuji originally had no intention of successfully refining a Grade Five Immortal Pill. The reason why he started refining the Extreme Wasteland Pill was entirely to obtain this pill formula.

Mo Wuji's divine thought from his Storage Meridian began to penetrate every part of the medicinal liquid, and then meticulously began to peel off the residue.

Time passed little by little. A full few hours passed, and Mo Wuji had not even peeled off one ten-thousandth of the residue of this furnace of pills. Every time he peeled off some of the residue of the medicinal liquid, other residue in the Heavenly Wasteland Grass would quickly seep over, making the medicinal liquid in the pill furnace impure again.

Three days passed in succession. When Mo Wuji heard a "poof" sound and a burnt smell came out, he knew that his refinement of this furnace of pills had failed. Not only had it failed, but it had failed completely.

Before, Mo Wuji had never failed in the process of extracting the essence of medicinal liquid. This was the first time that he had failed in the first step of refining pills.
