Zhen Shaoru said triumphantly, "Isn't the Five Elements Desolate Domain's Pill Competition about to begin? Many alchemists are gathering here. I heard that an alchemist from Wentian Academy has initiated a Pill Dao exchange meeting, and all alchemists are eligible to participate in this exchange meeting..."

Before Zhen Shaoru finished speaking, Mo Wuji asked in surprise, "Are you asking me to attend this exchange meeting?"

"Yes, are you going or not?"

Mo Wuji replied without hesitation, "Yes, of course I'm going. Let's go now."

Even if it wasn't an exchange meeting initiated by an alchemist from Wentian Academy, Mo Wuji would still go. Now that Wentian Academy is involved, he naturally wants to go and see even more.

Zhen Shaoke took out a cyan jade token from his pocket and handed it to Mo Wuji, "Wuji, this is your token to participate in the pill competition. Without this token, you and Shaoru might not be able to enter."

...

After arriving at Wentian Academy's station, Mo Wuji understood why Wentian Academy was the speaker of the Lost Continent.

Although the square outside the Five Elements Desolate Domain is huge, there are many sects and people who come here, so in fact, every piece of land around the square is very tight.

Wentian Academy's location not only occupies the best position in the square, but is also close to the middle of the square. Moreover, the area is also the largest of all sects.

Although it is a temporary station, this kind of grandeur is more impressive than some sect locations.

"How is it? Wentian Academy is imposing, right? If I can obtain a True God Flower in the Five Elements Desolate Domain this time, I will also have the opportunity to enter Wentian Academy," Zhen Shaoru said triumphantly.

Mo Wuji thought to himself, this guy really doesn't worry about anything. Does he think he can definitely get a ranking? You know, if he doesn't get a ranking, according to Zhen Shaoke and the Second Pavilion Master's discussion, Zhen Shaoru will not have the opportunity to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain.

"Are you two here to participate in the Five Elements Desolate Domain Alchemist Exchange Meeting?" At the outermost gate of Wentian Academy, a handyman disciple stopped the two.

Mo Wuji already knew who Zhen Shaoru was, so he quickly took out the cyan jade token and said, "Yes, we are from the Jiuyue Pill Pavilion participating..."

"Go in." The disciple didn't even look at Mo Wuji's jade token and let them in directly.

Zhen Shaoru said triumphantly, "You don't need to be restrained. He probably recognizes me as the young pavilion master of the Jiuyue Pill Pavilion, so he's giving me face."

Mo Wuji was very speechless. Zhen Shaoru's self-perception is really good. He is sure that the outer sect disciples don't know who they are, let alone recognize Zhen Shaoru. The real reason is that there is no inspection here at all. As long as they know you are participating in the alchemist exchange meeting, that's enough. This shows that Wentian Academy has a friendly attitude towards the alchemists participating in the pill competition this time.

After entering the gate, an arrow pointing to the Alchemist Exchange Meeting pointed directly to the left. Mo Wuji and Zhen Shaoru walked about ten meters and came to the door of a spacious hall.

Before Mo Wuji could speak, someone had already opened the door.

The two entered the hall, and there were already hundreds of people inside.

Various fruits were placed in every corner of the hall. Mo Wuji took a look and saw that many of these fruits were even first-grade spiritual fruits.

Wentian Academy's wealth was evident at a glance. When Zhen Shaoru saw these spiritual fruits, his eyes lit up, and he rushed over in a few steps, grabbing several spiritual fruits and eating them directly.

"Not bad, not bad, these are spiritual fruits, and they're free. Wuji, come and eat a few too." This guy had the mentality of "don't eat if it's free." While eating, he was also calling for Mo Wuji.

Several contemptuous glances swept over, but Mo Wuji acted as if he didn't see them and walked over directly, grabbing a spiritual fruit and eating it. Although he could afford this kind of spiritual fruit, he rarely ate it. When he got edible spiritual fruits, he gave some to Yan'er, but he used most of them to refine pills.

As for Zhen Shaoru, even if you give him ten thousand contemptuous glances, it would be like showing them to a blind man. He simply doesn't know what contemptuous glances are, he only knows to eat what he likes.

Just as Mo Wuji finished eating a spiritual fruit, he heard a heated commotion in the center of the hall. He quickly looked over and saw a young man who seemed to be explaining some medicinal principles. The people listening around him were clapping enthusiastically.

Mo Wuji quickly said to Zhen Shaoru, "I'll go take a look, you eat first."

He came here naturally wanting to learn some medicinal knowledge. Now that someone is actively explaining it, he naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.

Squeezing into the crowd, Mo Wuji finally saw the alchemist who was explaining clearly. What puzzled him was that the alchemist's age seemed to be not much older than him. At most, he was about twenty-two or three years old. His appearance was average, but his red hair and a cauldron-shaped mark on his brow made him very memorable.

This person was explaining the relationship between the quality of hand seals and pill formation, and he spoke very well. However, it wasn't very useful to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was very proficient in the application of hand seals and pill seals, and his use of refining hand seals was somewhat different from what this person was explaining.

Seeing the alchemists surrounding and listening with ardent expressions, Mo Wuji carefully pulled the sleeve of a fat alchemist beside him, "Friend, may I ask, who is this alchemist who is explaining to everyone?"

The fat alchemist was listening with rapt attention. He was very angry when Mo Wuji pulled him. But when he heard Mo Wuji's question, he immediately forgot to be angry, staring at Mo Wuji with wide eyes and asking in disbelief, "Are you kidding me? You don't even know Lord Cauldron?"

Mo Wuji quickly patted the fat man and said in a low voice, "Brother, I'm not in the alchemy business, so I'm not as knowledgeable as you. Please enlighten me."

Hearing that Mo Wuji was not an alchemist and was so respectful to him, the fat man nodded in satisfaction, "Then I'll teach you. Lord Cauldron's surname is Zhang..."

The fat man's clumsy introduction almost made Mo Wuji laugh out loud. Fortunately, he knew that the fat alchemist was saying this to show respect for Lord Cauldron, so he forcibly held back.

"...Because when he was born, he had a cauldron-shaped mark on his brow. After the Divine Medicine Sect, the number one alchemy sect in the Tianshang Empire, heard about it, they specially took him away and named him Zhang Ding. Lord Cauldron became a first-grade mortal alchemist at the age of ten, a second-grade mortal alchemist at the age of eleven, a third-grade mortal alchemist at the age of thirteen, and a fourth-grade earth alchemist at the age of sixteen. As long as it is related to the Pill Dao, he can learn it in the shortest time after touching it. We in the alchemy world all respectfully call him Lord Cauldron..."

Hearing this, Mo Wuji finally understood the guy's glorious origin. He was indeed born to shine.

After the fat man briefly introduced him to Mo Wuji, he was too lazy to pay attention to Mo Wuji and continued to listen to Zhang Ding's explanation of alchemy.

As someone who was born with a cauldron imprint, Mo Wuji also wanted to hear his views on alchemy.

"...The above are just my views on alchemy hand seals. Generally, third-grade mortal spirit pills can be solved with alchemy hand seals, and even superior pills can be refined. But there is a kind of pill that even if you have strong cultivation, you can't solve with hand seals..."

Zhang Ding's words had a strong persuasiveness, and even Mo Wuji couldn't help but be drawn in.

"Lord Cauldron, what kind of pill can't be solved with hand seals?" someone immediately asked.

Zhang Ding nodded, "Good question. This kind of pill is a divine sense pill. A pill that can condense divine sense and strengthen the power of divine sense."

"Isn't divine sense something that can only be cultivated after the Void God realm forms the Nascent Soul? Shouldn't this be an earth spirit pill?" Someone in the crowd asked again.

"What do you know? I just heard that there is a kind of third-grade mortal spirit pill called a divine sense pill, but this pill formula is incomplete."

Zhang Ding pressed his hand down and said loudly, "The friend just now is right, there is indeed a third-grade mortal spirit pill called a divine sense pill. This pill is called the Strengthening Spirit Pill. The broken pill formula for the Strengthening Spirit Pill is everywhere, but the complete pill formula for this pill has been lost. It is said that this pill can allow cultivators below the Void God realm, and even those below the Yuan Dan realm, to condense the power of divine sense."

The alchemists all let out sighs of regret. Zhang Ding continued, "It can be said that the Strengthening Spirit Pill is an extremely precious pill among the third-grade mortal spirit pills, and it can even rank among the top three among all the third-grade mortal spirit pills."

Mo Wuji thought to himself that he didn't expect the pill formula for the Strengthening Spirit Pill to be so precious. He was lucky that he didn't easily take out the pill formula for the Strengthening Spirit Pill, otherwise, it would have been another dangerous thing.

The alchemists were even more regretful. At this moment, Zhang Ding said again, "The loss of the Strengthening Spirit Pill is not only a huge blow and limitation to all of us mortal alchemists, but it is also a great limitation to the strength of cultivators below the Void God realm. Cultivators with the power of divine sense and cultivators without the power of divine sense are completely two different levels. I heard that in the past continents of the Five Elements Desolate Domain, cultivators below the Void God realm could also cultivate divine sense. It can be seen that if the cultivators of the two places are compared, our Lost Continent is far behind."

There were more and more voices of agreement following Zhang Ding's words, and some people even excitedly said that they must find the Strengthening Spirit Pill and contribute to the Lost Continent.

Zhang Ding pressed down on the many noisy voices with his hand, raised his voice, and said with some excitement, "In order to make up for the lack of the Strengthening Spirit Pill, I have finally researched a pill formula that can strengthen invisible divine sense after several years. Although this pill formula is not as good as the Strengthening Spirit Pill in cultivating divine sense, long-term use can also invisibly improve one's invisible divine sense..."

"Clap clap clap..." Another burst of warm applause sounded, followed by people asking for the name of the pill formula.

"Lord Cauldron, you are the most talented alchemist of the younger generation in our Lost Continent, and also the young alchemist who has contributed the most to our cultivators."

"Yes, if Lord Cauldron hadn't been researching this pill formula, he might have already been a fifth-grade earth alchemist."

...

The voices of agreement in the crowd rose one after another, and the alchemists became more and more excited.

Zhang Ding pressed his hand down again and said, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. When it comes to the most talented alchemist of the younger generation, I think it should be Senior Sister Mu Ying of the Wentian Academy's Pill Tower. Senior Sister Mu Ying is the role model for our generation, a alchemist who truly contributes to everyone..."

"You're wrong too. The most contributing alchemist is neither me nor you." A clear and cold voice came from the door, interrupting Zhang Ding's words.
