Chapter 513 The Assessment of the Fourth Level
With the experience of one assessment, Mo Wuji directly found a seat and sat down, while inserting his identity jade token into the void slot in front of the seat.
As soon as the identity jade token was inserted into the void slot, the assessment question appeared on the formation screen in front of Mo Wuji: "Please write down what needs to be paid attention to when refining the Immortal Clarity Pill? How can the quality of the Immortal Clarity Pill be improved?"
This was even simpler than the assessment of a Grade 1 Pill Master. Mo Wuji's Pill Dao completely originated from his own cultivation technique. For the details of refining pills, just like his cultivation, there was a kind of natural understanding. Perhaps this question was very complicated for other cultivators, but for Mo Wuji, it was really nothing.
The main function of the Immortal Clarity Pill was to make cultivators below the Profound Immortal realm feel clear-headed when cultivating, preventing cultivation deviation. This kind of pill must be refined with a focused mind, and the higher the state of mind of the pill refiner, the higher the quality of the pills refined. When refining pills, Mo Wuji had also summarized an experience: as long as the main immortal spiritual herb, the Silver Ringed Pattern Flower, was refined to more than 98% essence, the top-grade Immortal Clarity Pill could definitely be refined.
The impurities in the Immortal Clarity Pill mainly came from the main immortal spiritual herb, the Silver Ringed Pattern Flower. The higher the purification of the Silver Ringed Pattern Flower, the better the effect.
Of course, this kind of purification was only for Mo Wuji. Most pill refiners could refine the Silver Ringed Pattern Flower to more than 90%, which was already very heaven-defying.
Mo Wuji had also thought about this situation. If the essence of the Silver Ringed Pattern Flower did not meet the standard, he could try adding another immortal spiritual herb, the Grade 2 immortal spiritual herb Immortal Speck Fruit.
The main function of the Immortal Speck Fruit was to neutralize the Silver Ringed Pattern Flower. This was based on Mo Wuji's chemistry experience. On Earth, he often used the chemical reactions between some medicinal materials to synthesize drugs.
He had only thought about this method, but he had not refined it. After all, he could easily refine the Silver Ringed Pattern Flower to more than 98%, so there was no need to do something unnecessary like adding the Immortal Speck Fruit.
Today, he encountered this test question here, so Mo Wuji naturally wrote down his thoughts.
He finished the first question in a few minutes. Mo Wuji guessed that the second question was to refine the Immortal Clarity Pill. Sure enough, after he answered the first question, immortal spiritual herbs were sent over, precisely the medicinal materials for refining the Immortal Clarity Pill. The requirement was to refine at least one batch of Immortal Clarity Pills with 10% top-grade pills and 60% medium-grade pills.
The Immortal Clarity Pill produced eighteen pills in one batch. Originally, according to Mo Wuji's method, he could easily refine eighteen special-grade pills. However, when refining the pills, Mo Wuji thought of his previous answer. If he refined all the special-grade pills, wouldn't that mean that his level of extracting the essence of the medicinal liquid had reached 98%?
Mo Wuji was very clear that the reason why he could extract the essence of medicinal materials to more than 99% was not only because of his heavenly fire, but mainly because he possessed the Storage Meridian. When refining pills, the effect of the Storage Meridian was even better than the Purple Palace divine sense.
Using the Storage Meridian to control the medicinal liquid in the pill cauldron was like separating it directly with his hands, clearly and understandably.
The Storage Meridian could also be considered his secret. Thinking of this, Mo Wuji slightly held back, refining the essence of the medicinal liquid to 95%, and directly refined three special-grade pills, with the rest being all top-grade pills.
As soon as the Immortal Clarity Pills were sent away, Mo Wuji's jade token emitted a burst of light. The gate from the second floor to the third floor of the Pill Dao Tower was opened.
When Mo Wuji grabbed his jade token and entered the third floor, everyone on the second floor was stunned. One person even failed to refine the pill prematurely because he was distracted by Mo Wuji and was teleported out.
They couldn't help but be shocked. They had never seen anyone pass the assessment of a Grade 2 Immortal Pill Master in just over half an incense stick of time.
……
After entering the third floor of the Pill Dao Tower, Mo Wuji only saw five or six pill refiners taking the assessment. Mo Wuji was already familiar with the process. After inserting his jade token, he found that this round of assessment only had one question, which was to refine the Small Rain Dew Pill.
Mo Wuji thought to himself that it was fortunate that he had obtained the Small Rain Dew Pill recipe in Yingbian City last time. Otherwise, even if the medicinal materials were sent over, he would have hesitated for a while. After all, this was an assessment, and there was only one chance. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't be sure that he could refine the best Small Rain Dew Pill in the first batch without a recipe.
What was a pill recipe? A pill recipe recorded not only the types of immortal spiritual herbs, but also the amount and order of the immortal spiritual herbs, as well as the main precautions when fusing the medicinal liquids.
Of course, for Mo Wuji, as long as he had the immortal spiritual herbs, it would be fine. Even without a pill recipe, he could slowly deduce it. Since this was an assessment, it was naturally easiest and most time-saving to refine pills that he had already refined.
One batch of Small Rain Dew Pills was easily refined. Mo Wuji, while holding back some of his skills, refined half special-grade pills and half top-grade pills.
This time, Mo Wuji took even less time. He only spent half an incense stick of time to open the gate to the fourth floor of the Pill Dao Tower.
He spent more than one incense stick of time when assessing a Grade 1 Pill Master, and more than half an incense stick of time when assessing a Grade 2 Pill Master. But when assessing a Grade 3 Pill Master, he actually only spent half an incense stick of time. When others assessed to become pill refiners, the more advanced they were, the more time they took. The more advanced Mo Wuji was, the less time he took.
There were originally only a few people assessing to become a Grade 3 Immortal Pill Master, only five or six people. Mo Wuji spent half an incense stick of time to pass the assessment of a Grade 3 Immortal Pill Master, and the direct consequence was that two pill refiners ruined a batch of pills and were directly teleported out.
……
The fourth floor of the Pill Dao Tower was finally not a rectangular hall. It was a pill chamber that completely conformed to the rules of pill refiners. There was only one pill furnace in the pill chamber, and in addition, there was a room for rest.
It could be seen that the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance also considered that there were not many Pill Kings after all, and one pill furnace was enough.
At the end of the pill chamber were light golden stairs. The stairs were covered by mist, and it was impossible to see the situation inside. Mo Wuji guessed that the light golden stairs were probably behind the fifth floor of the Pill Dao Tower. Mo Wuji knew that with his ability, he could only refine Grade 4 immortal pills, that is, at the level of a Grade 4 Pill King. So he didn't care about these light golden stairs.
Mo Wuji inserted his jade token into the void slot above the pill refining position. A larger monitoring screen appeared in front of him, and the monitoring screen contained some rule introductions.
"All pill refiners participating in the assessment for a Grade 4 Pill King can choose the pill they want to refine. As long as the pill refining is successful and the assessment is passed, they can take away two pills as a reward. Pill refiners can choose their own pill furnace and flame to refine pills. Pill refiners who choose to refine the Great Yi True Pill need to compensate some immortal crystals if the pill refining fails. Regardless of which pill is chosen, at least 90% of the pills must be medium-grade or higher to pass."
Looking further down, there were indeed various pills. Ranked first was the Great Yi True Pill, followed by the Withered Wood Pill, the Purifying Spirit Pill, the Yi Immortal Pill...
There were dozens of pills in total.
Mo Wuji could also understand the requirement that some immortal crystals needed to be compensated for a failed Great Yi True Pill refinement. The Great Yi True Pill was not considered the best among Grade 4 immortal pills, but it was definitely the most sought-after. Moreover, it was said that the Great Yi True Pill needed to use the Great Yi True Fruit, which was a very rare Grade 4 immortal spiritual fruit.
After all, this was a pill that allowed Profound Immortals to advance to the Great Yi Immortal realm, and it was considered a strategic immortal pill. Any one of these pills was very easy to sell.
Mo Wuji hesitated. If he chose the Yi Immortal Pill, he would definitely become a Grade 4 Pill King of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance in half an hour.
But Mo Wuji really wanted to refine the Great Yi True Pill. The main reason was that he didn't have the Great Yi True Pill recipe. For a pill refiner, the pill recipe was a very important thing.
He didn't yet have the ability to combine a pill recipe that could advance to the Great Yi Immortal realm himself. Even if he combined a pill recipe, it would be an immortal pill below Grade 4.
After a few minutes, Mo Wuji finally made up his mind and clicked on the Great Yi True Pill. Even if the pill refining failed, at least he would know what the pill recipe was like. He didn't want to not even know the composition of the Great Yi True Pill recipe when he needed to advance to the Great Yi Immortal realm in the future.
Even if he failed the assessment of a Grade 4 Pill King, he was still a Grade 3 Pill Master of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. A Grade 3 Pill Master of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance should also have some status, right?
As for the compensation after the failure, Mo Wuji was confident that he could afford it. If he didn't have enough immortal crystals, he could use immortal lattice stones to pay off the debt.
A faint light flashed, and a pile of immortal spiritual herbs was teleported out, with the jade box containing the Great Yi True Fruit being the most conspicuous.
Mo Wuji couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance really had strength. Medicinal materials for pills like the Great Yi True Pill were casually taken out for people to assess.
Mo Wuji did not open the pill fire, but carefully sorted out the medicinal materials for the Great Yi True Pill. There were more than twenty kinds in total. In addition to the Great Yi True Fruit, there were several other relatively precious immortal spiritual herbs, such as the Grade 4 immortal spiritual herb Immortal Nan, the Grade 4 immortal spiritual herb Phoenix Wood Root, etc.
Fortunately, Mo Wuji had read "Herbs, Trees, and Stones." He not only recognized these immortal spiritual herbs, but also had a certain understanding of their characteristics.
After understanding the amount of each of these immortal spiritual herbs, Mo Wuji opened the flame and cleaned the remaining residue in the pill furnace.
This was the first time since entering the Pill Dao Tower for the assessment that Mo Wuji had done things so cautiously.
A full incense stick of time passed before Mo Wuji began to take out the medicinal materials and put them into the pill furnace for extraction.
For immortal pills below Grade 4, Mo Wuji could choose to hold back some of his skills. When refining the Great Yi True Pill, Mo Wuji didn't have any intention of holding back at all. He just gave it his all, as he was only a Grade 4 Pill King anyway.
One immortal spiritual herb after another was extracted by Mo Wuji. After a full half an hour, Mo Wuji threw the residue out of the pill furnace and began to fuse the medicinal liquid. At the same time, the divine sense in his Storage Meridian flowed in the medicinal liquid, analyzing the fusion degree and some medicinal properties of the Great Yi True Pill in detail.
Under normal circumstances, Mo Wuji only needed more than half an hour for this process when refining Grade 4 pills.
He spent a full two hours on this batch of Great Yi True Pills before decomposing the pill liquid and starting to condense the pills. After reaching this step, Mo Wuji knew that with his ability, there was basically no problem with the Great Yi True Pill. Next, it depended on the quality of the Great Yi True Pill.
…..
On the seventh floor of the Pill Dao Tower in Jiao Jiao Immortal Ruins, the middle-aged pill refiner who had shaken his head at Mo Wuji suddenly stood up, staring at the huge formation screen in front of him. He didn't even react to the jade slip falling to the ground.
