Chapter 79: Alchemist Shi's Panic
Mo Wuji finally understood why Shi Jun was so ecstatic about refining the Coagulation Meridian Pill. It turned out that this guy could enter the Sword Mountain of No Traces. It seemed that he had done him a great favor.
"Let me tell you, every Grade Three Human Pill Refiner can bring a medicine boy with them. Alas, Pill Refiner Shi succeeded in refining pills in the medicine preparation room you're responsible for. I wonder which lucky guy will benefit from it." Fei Bingzhu said with a sigh. He didn't consider the possibility of Mo Wuji becoming a medicine boy. Mo Wuji was just a handyman disciple who had just joined the Sword Sect of No Traces. No matter what, he wouldn't be favored by a Grade Three Human Pill Refiner to become a medicine boy.
Mo Wuji suddenly regretted it greatly. If he had known that following Shi Jun would give him a chance to enter the Sword Mountain of No Traces, he would never have refused.
Unfortunately, it was too late now. Even if he went to Pill Refiner Shi, he wouldn't have the chance to see him. A Grade Three Human Pill Refiner was such a noble existence, how could a small medicine boy like him see him casually?
Fei Bingzhu didn't know what Mo Wuji was thinking. He continued, "Our Sword Sect of No Traces' most powerful pill refiner is Pill Refiner Yin. She's a Grade Four Earth Pill Refiner, the only Earth Pill Refiner in the sect. Senior Sister Yin is not only the youngest Earth Pill Refiner in the sect, but also second only to the Sect Leader in terms of status in our Sword Sect of No Traces."
"What Senior Sister Yin, what not Senior Sister Yin," Mo Wuji thought. He was only filled with regret now. After a long while, he put aside his regrets and said to Fei Bingzhu, "Senior Brother Fei, do you know any places near our sect where there are Six-Legged Thunder Crocodiles?"
"Six-Legged Thunder Crocodiles?" Fei Bingzhu looked at Mo Wuji in surprise and asked, "Why are you asking about that, Junior Brother Mo? That thing has strong combat power, and its materials aren't particularly valuable. Besides, our Sword Sect of No Traces is far from the sea. Six-Legged Thunder Crocodiles generally live in the sea, so we don't see them here."
Mo Wuji was disappointed. Just as he was about to inquire about places near the sect where he could train, he heard a rough voice shout, "You brat, you're hiding here chatting! Quickly go prepare medicine for me..."
Mo Wuji turned around and saw Shi Jun rushing in. Behind Shi Jun was Wu Kai, who was covered in dust. At this moment, the affairs hall quieted down. Pill Refiner Shi had come here, and no one dared to say more. Don't look at Shi Jun's dog-crawl-style pill refining in Mo Wuji's eyes, but his status in the sect was not low. A Grade Three Human Pill Refiner was a lofty existence.
Without asking, Mo Wuji had already guessed the reason. It must be that the pill refiner Shi had failed to refine the Coagulation Meridian Pill again after leaving him, and then wanted to find him to prepare medicine, wanting to use his luck to refine pills successfully again. As a result, he left the No. 19 medicine preparation room, and Wu Kai casually asked someone to help him fill in, which caused problems.
Compared to last time, Shi Jun was even more slovenly, his hair was messy, and his whole body was covered in medicine residue. Before he even got close to Mo Wuji, he reached out to grab him.
Mo Wuji quickly said, "Wait, Pill Refiner Shi, this matter has nothing to do with Deacon Wu. Let Deacon Wu leave first."
He left, and Yan'er was still living in the Blood Lotus Lake. In any case, he couldn't afford to offend this Wu Kai.
Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Shi Jun waved his hand at Wu Kai. "You can go. Since you brought me to this kid, I won't hold you accountable."
Wu Kai thanked him repeatedly, and then gratefully nodded to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji really didn't lie, not only didn't lie, but was also too modest. Who knew that Mo Wuji, a handyman disciple, had such a high status in Pill Refiner Shi's heart. Just one sentence cleared him of trouble.
He had been terrified when Pill Refiner Shi grabbed him earlier. It was nothing for him to find someone to cover for Mo Wuji, but if he offended Pill Refiner Shi, even if he was right, Pill Refiner Shi could slap him to death without bearing any responsibility. At the very least, Pill Refiner Shi could dismiss him from his position as a deacon with just one word.
Before Wu Kai left, he was even more determined to help Mo Wuji take care of Yan'er. People with a bright future like Mo Wuji must be befriended, and must be befriended greatly. To befriend Mo Wuji, he could only help take care of Mo Wuji's darling, that little girl named Yan'er.
"Mo Wuji greets Pill Refiner Shi. Pill Refiner Shi came to me just to help prepare medicine?" After Wu Kai left, Mo Wuji asked again after saluting.
"Nonsense, you're a handyman disciple in the No. 19 medicine preparation room. If I'm not looking for you to prepare medicine, am I here for a blind date?" Shi Jun glared.
Mo Wuji said helplessly, "In that case, please return to the No. 19 pill refining room first, Pill Refiner Shi. I'll come over after I've prepared the medicine."
He was preparing medicine for Shi Jun to add *Shuirong Teng* (Water Velvet Vine), otherwise, even his lucky star title would be useless.
Shi Jun grabbed Mo Wuji's arm. "No need, today we're refining pills in the main hall of the sect. The Sect Leader, all the elders, and all the pill refiners will be watching from the side. You just go there and help me prepare medicine."
Saying it was preparing medicine, but in reality, he just wanted Mo Wuji to take all the medicine once, to absorb some of Mo Wuji's luck.
Mo Wuji secretly lamented in his heart. The reason he wanted Shi Jun to leave was that he wanted to smear the *Qingyan Guo* (Azure Flame Fruit) with the medicinal juice of *Shuirong Teng* again. If it was in the hall, under the watchful eyes of everyone, how could he help?
Moreover, he also guessed why Shi Jun wanted to refine pills in front of everyone. It must be that the sect wanted the pill refiners to enter the Sword Mountain of No Traces. Before entering the Sword Mountain of No Traces, the sect needed to conduct some tests. Since Shi Jun had been promoted to a Grade Three Human Pill Refiner, he naturally needed to verify it in public. Shi Jun's strength was originally not at the level of a Grade Three Human Pill Refiner, and this exposure would inevitably reveal his true form. Because of this, this guy panicked and wanted to drag him over.
Seeing that Shi Jun was about to drag him away, Mo Wuji quickly said, "Pill Refiner Shi, I do have luck, which can increase the success rate of others. But before each time I help, I must take a bath and change clothes, otherwise it won't work."
"Then what are you talking about? Hurry back and take a bath and change clothes!" Shi Jun shouted loudly.
Mo Wuji said unhurriedly, "Pill Refiner Shi, pill refining is about being calm and composed. Otherwise, even with my luck, there will be some mistakes in the middle. If Pill Refiner Shi believes me, please be calm and composed, and then casually go to the sect's main hall to wait. And I must also calmly take a bath and change clothes before going to the sect's main hall."
Pill Refiner Shi, who was about to explode, forcibly suppressed his words when he heard the words "calm and composed," and threw a jade token to Mo Wuji, saying, "Hurry up."
After speaking, he turned around and left, walking very quickly.
Mo Wuji breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This guy finally left.
"Senior Brother Mo, you are really amazing! You actually gained Pill Refiner Shi's favor. Don't forget about me in the future!" Fei Bingzhu instantly reversed the status between him and Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji laughed and patted Fei Bingzhu through the window. "How could I? We are friends. By the way, Brother Fei, I came here today mainly to buy five *Shuirong Teng* plants. I also want to borrow Brother Fei's contribution points, and I will definitely repay you in the future."
Fei Bingzhu waved his hand generously. "A few *Shuirong Teng* plants are nothing. A few contribution points are really nothing. Junior Brother Mo, just take them and use them. It's too much to talk about repayment. Junior Brother Mo has a bright future. Just call me Junior Brother from now on. I am willing to be Senior Brother Mo's junior brother."
While speaking, Fei Bingzhu had already handed the five *Shuirong Teng* plants to Mo Wuji.
"Thank you so much, I have to hurry to prepare medicine for Pill Refiner Shi. We'll chat when we're free." Mo Wuji took the *Shuirong Teng* plants and quickly said goodbye to Fei Bingzhu.
He still had to go back and refine these *Shuirong Teng* plants into medicinal juice in the shortest possible time, otherwise, there was no guarantee that Pill Refiner Shi wouldn't come over and drag him away again.
