Old Five is a Goose.

Chapter 85: Dare to Gamble?

Mo Wuji muttered to himself, how sensitive could this woman's nose be?

"The pills you gave me before were refined by you, right? Since you are a pill refiner, why would you become a miscellaneous disciple? If you wanted to hide your pill refining skills by becoming a miscellaneous disciple, why would you help Pill Refiner Shi?" Yin Qianyin asked unhurriedly.

It wasn't surprising that Mo Wuji could think of adding Water Rong Vine to the Coagulating Meridian Pill to reduce the difficulty of refining and increase the success rate. Because there were several recipes for the Coagulating Meridian Pill, one of which included Water Rong Vine. The Coagulating Meridian Pill refined with this recipe was slightly weaker, but the refining process was much simpler. Perhaps Mo Wuji happened to see this recipe, while Shi Jun didn't know about it.

As for what Mo Wuji wanted to obtain from Shi Jun through this method, she didn't care. It was only natural to use other means to obtain some benefits if you weren't willing to share the recipe you obtained.

But now that Mo Wuji could refine pills independently, it definitely wasn't just a matter of obtaining one of the Coagulating Meridian Pill recipes. This meant that Mo Wuji had been studying pill refining for a long time. Since he had studied pill refining and could refine pills successfully, there was no need to stay in the Unblemished Sword Sect as a miscellaneous disciple.

Mo Wuji immediately felt a headache coming on. He wondered if he should have saved Yin Qianyin in the first place. He knew the story of the farmer and the snake better than anyone else. But Yin Qianyin didn't seem like a snake, did she?

Thinking of this, Mo Wuji bit the bullet and said, "My pill refining skills are passed down from my family. My family was originally a royal family. Because the prince was stripped of his title and the family declined, I learned a lot of pill refining knowledge, but I had no way to verify it. This time, I wanted to use the opportunity to enter Sword Mountain with Pill Refiner Shi to systematically verify the pill refining knowledge I had learned."

Mo Wuji considered many things before saying this. First of all, his family was a royal family, so there was a chance to learn pill refining. Secondly, the Mo family was practically extinct, so even if you wanted to investigate, you might not be able to find out the truth.

Mo Wuji didn't know that his grandfather was once a pill refiner. If he had known, he definitely wouldn't have been so apprehensive. Facing Yin Qianyin's question, he would have confidently said that his grandfather was a pill refiner and he learned from his grandfather.

As for the fact that he was born after his grandfather Mo Tiancheng left, who would care so much? Was it not possible to leave behind ancestral pill books?

Yin Qianyin asked with the same surprise, "Are you saying that you only studied pill refining theory before, and then you encountered many spiritual herbs here and could refine a Rank 1 Mortal Spirit Pill after only practicing for a month?"

It wasn't that Yin Qianyin didn't believe Mo Wuji, but that Mo Wuji's words were too outrageous. Even if a person was a genius and studied various pill refining theories for several years, it would be difficult to refine a Rank 1 Mortal Spirit Pill in just one month.

Pill refiners were rare because pill refining required immense talent and constant practice, which was why it was difficult to cultivate pill refiners. First, you didn't know if you had the talent for pill refining. Second, you needed a large amount of spiritual herb resources. Third, you needed guidance from a renowned teacher.

None of these were easy to achieve. What's more, the quality of the Rank 1 Mortal Spirit Pill refined by Mo Wuji was already extremely high. With a little more improvement, he could refine a Rank 2 Mortal Spirit Pill.

Hearing Yin Qianyin's words, Mo Wuji suddenly thought of his pill formulas and hand gestures. The key to his successful pill refining in a short time, besides the thorough analysis of the medicinal properties of the herbs by the Wordless Celestial Book, was the pill formulas and hand gestures. In addition, there was another important factor. That was that he was originally a top-notch pharmacist, and making medicine was simpler than refining pills, but only relatively speaking.

Making medicine used ordinary herbs, not spiritual herbs. But pharmacists were mostly ordinary mortals who had not cultivated and did not use any Yuan energy to assist.

Pill refining mostly used spiritual herbs, which required ensuring the spirituality of the herbs. That was almost impossible for ordinary mortals who had not cultivated. But for cultivators who had cultivated, it was no different from pharmacists processing ordinary herbs.

"That's right, but before I really started refining pills, I studied pill refining theory for more than ten years." Mo Wuji decided not to hide anything anymore. His background could be investigated, so there was no point in hiding it. As long as he insisted on not revealing the Wordless Pill Book, it wouldn't have much impact.

"That means you have extremely strong pill refining talent. With your pill refining talent, if you could become the sect's pill refiner and obtain more pill refining resources, your future achievements would be even greater..." Yin Qianyin paused here.

She thought of a barrier that was most difficult for Mo Wuji to overcome, which was that Mo Wuji's spiritual root was very poor. According to Mo Wuji, he should have a low-grade spiritual root.

In addition to pill refining talent, cultivation talent was also important for pill refiners.

As the grade of the pills being refined increased, there were also requirements for the cultivator's cultivation level. If the cultivator's cultivation level was too low, it would be difficult to refine higher-grade pills.

Mo Wuji hadn't thought about the problem of cultivation talent, because his cultivation speed was too fast, which was why he hadn't thought of it. What he was thinking about was what Yin Qianyin had just said. If he really joined the sect and became the sect's pill refiner, he would have the opportunity to enter the sect's library. Perhaps he would even have the opportunity to listen to the lectures of the Immortal Master who imparted skills.

Thinking of this, Mo Wuji quickly said, "If I could become the sect's pill refiner, I would naturally be willing, but I'm afraid it won't be easy, will it?"

Yin Qianyin pondered for a moment and then said with certainty, "As a Rank 1 Mortal Pill Refiner, you will definitely be of great use to the sect. I can introduce you to join the sect and become the sect's pill refiner. However, your cultivation aptitude is limited, so I can't guarantee your pill refining resources."

Mo Wuji didn't care about pill refining resources at all. He had obtained a large amount of benefits from the sect during his month at Unblemished Sword Mountain.

"Senior Sister Yin, I would be satisfied as long as I can enter the library to read books and listen to some elders' lectures. As for cultivation resources and pill refining resources, I don't care." Mo Wuji said.

Yin Qianyin didn't have the arrogance of a Rank 4 Earth Pill Refiner, so Mo Wuji simply changed his address to increase the relationship between him and Yin Qianyin.

Hearing that Mo Wuji didn't have high requirements, Yin Qianyin smiled slightly, "Don't worry, as a sect's pill refiner, even a Rank 1 Mortal Pill Refiner, your status in the sect will be much higher than that of ordinary disciples. These requirements you mentioned are the requirements of some disciples, so there will naturally be no problem."

"Senior Sister Yin, what happened to you before? It seemed like your vitality was being drained away?" With Yin Qianyin's guarantee, Mo Wuji was finally relieved and thought of Yin Qianyin's condition earlier.

Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Yin Qianyin's expression immediately became serious, and she stood up at the same time.

After pondering for a full few minutes, she looked at Mo Wuji and asked, "Junior Brother Mo, there is a great opportunity here. But obtaining this opportunity is also very dangerous. If you're not careful, your vitality will be drained and dissipated, just like what happened to me before. Do you dare to gamble with me?"

"Senior Sister, you almost had your vitality drained because of this opportunity?" Mo Wuji understood.

Yin Qianyin nodded and said, "That's right. I suspect that the place I went to has the supreme sword manual and sword skills left behind by a previous Sect Master of our Unblemished Sword Sect, and maybe more than just these things. But that place is impossible to approach. Once you get close, your vitality will be sucked away."

"Does Senior Sister Yin have a Primary Vitality Pill on her?" Mo Wuji thought of Yin Qianyin's appearance before and subconsciously shuddered, his scalp tingling.

Yin Qianyin shook her head, "No, since we have chosen the path of cultivation, if we don't work hard, how can we achieve anything?"

Mo Wuji didn't want to go. He had ways to continuously improve on the path of cultivation. It wasn't that he was afraid of death, or he wouldn't have desperately used lightning arcs to temper his meridians. He didn't want to go because the place Yin Qianyin mentioned was too risky and didn't have anything that truly attracted him. This kind of adventure was completely not worth it.
