Old Five is a Goose.

Chapter 162: Difficulties Overlapping

Back in his residence, Mo Wuji immediately opened the book "Terrestrial Spiritual Herbs."

Previously, Mo Wuji had felt it was a bit expensive to spend 100 Earth-grade spirit stones to buy a book. But after he opened it, he realized that his 100 Earth-grade spirit stones were absolutely worth it. This was because "Terrestrial Spiritual Herbs" was already widely available, otherwise, even a million Earth-grade spirit stones might not be able to buy this book.

The entire book was half a foot thick, and each page was as thin as a cicada's wing. These were not the most shocking things for Mo Wuji. What shocked him most was that each spiritual herb had a matching illustration, and even the survival habits and main uses of the spiritual herb were clearly written.

The only regret was that there was not a single pill recipe in the book, nor was there any analysis of the compatibility between spiritual herbs. From this point of view, his Wordless Pill Book was much more valuable. However, the Wordless Pill Book mainly talked about how to refine pills, as well as the compatibility between spiritual herbs and some pill recipes. The introduction of spiritual herbs was far less detailed than this book.

This could definitely be considered a spiritual herb encyclopedia that alchemists must have. After reading only two pages, Mo Wuji had a newfound respect and admiration for Mo Xue.

Putting aside everything else, for an alchemist to take the time to leave behind such a huge book was in itself something worthy of everyone's respect. Moreover, this alchemist had such a broad mind, with almost no reservations in the book. It could be said that obtaining this book was almost like obtaining a Heavenly Alchemist's knowledge of spiritual herbs.

Mo Wuji really wanted to study this book carefully now, but he was more eager to open his meridians as soon as possible. He flipped through this book as quickly as possible, wanting to find out what exactly the purple lotus root he had dug up was.

In just over ten minutes, Mo Wuji stopped turning pages. He found the purple lotus root. The light red, beautiful lotus flower on that page was exactly the same as what he had harvested.

Mo Wuji couldn't wait to focus his attention on the uses of this spiritual herb, "Jade Toad Purple Lotus Root, a Grade 7 spiritual herb..."

Seeing "Grade 7 spiritual herb," Mo Wuji's heart immediately skipped a beat. Don't look down on the fact that he had harvested some Grade 6 spiritual herbs; there was only a one-grade difference between Grade 6 and Grade 7 spiritual herbs.

In fact, the difference between Grade 6 and Grade 7 spiritual herbs was too great. It could be said that they were worlds apart. Even ten thousand Grade 6 spiritual herbs might not be able to be exchanged for a valuable Grade 7 spiritual herb.

For example, the Flower of True Divinity, that was a genuine Grade 7 spiritual herb. Who didn't know the preciousness of the Flower of True Divinity? It was a treasure that allowed cultivators in the Void God Realm in the Earth Realm to have the opportunity to step into the True God Realm in the Heaven Realm. How many of the people who entered the Five Elements Desolate Domain weren't there for the Flower of True Divinity?

"...Jade Toad Purple Lotus Root has light red lotus flowers and straight, fragrant stems, which make people feel refreshed and mentally invigorated when smelled. The color of the lotus root is purple, and the lotus root silk is cyan. The most valuable parts are the lotus flowers and lotus root silk. The greatest function of this spiritual herb is to expand and repair spiritual meridians, and it is also one of the best spiritual objects for spiritual meridians..."

Mo Wuji secretly clenched his fists. His guess was indeed correct. The Jade Toad Purple Lotus Root was the best spiritual herb for meridians.

After turning the page on the Jade Toad Purple Lotus Root, Mo Wuji continued searching. This time, it took him even less time to find a gem-like red crystal.

This was exactly what he had harvested under the ice peak. Mo Wuji only knew that this thing was related to fire crystals, but he didn't know what it was. Originally, he was a little worried that there would be no introduction to this crystal in "Terrestrial Spiritual Herbs," but he didn't expect to actually find it. Not only did he find it, but the introduction was also very detailed.

"Fire Jade, the purest fire-type virtual spiritual object, can be bred in volcanoes or geothermal vents. Its appearance is crystal clear, with a pure and non-irritating reddish color. There are many grades of Fire Jade, uneven. High-grade Fire Jade can breed fire crystals..."

So he harvested a piece of Fire Jade. At the same time, he also understood why there were so many fire crystals around the Fire Jade. These fire crystals were originally bred by the Fire Jade, no wonder. The Fire Jade he harvested could breed fire crystals, so it seemed like it was of a high grade.

"...Generally, Fire Jade that can breed golden Fire Jade is above Grade 7. This kind of virtual spiritual object is extremely rare and can help cultivators develop cultivation potential..."

Another Grade 7 spiritual object. Closing "Terrestrial Spiritual Herbs," Mo Wuji tried to calm himself down for a while before taking out his pill furnace, medicine refining equipment, and new meridian-opening medicine ingredients.

With his current pill refinement level, there was no problem in refining the other medicinal materials, but he was a little worried about the Jade Toad Purple Lotus Root and Fire Jade.

According to Senior Mo Xue's introduction, the Fire Jade he harvested was also a Grade 7 spiritual object. The most crucial thing was whether he could extract Grade 7 spiritual herbs with his current ability.

Regardless of whether it worked or not, he had to try.

Mo Wuji first began to extract the Jade Toad Purple Lotus Root silk. To be on the safe side, Mo Wuji used a Yellow Flame Stone this time.

The flames were ignited, and the pill furnace was repeatedly cleaned by Mo Wuji several times. Only then did he carefully put in a strand of cyan Jade Toad Purple Lotus Root silk.

To Mo Wuji's relief, the cyan lotus root silk quickly melted. Mo Wuji's pill seals landed on the newly melted cyan lotus root silk, and a violent spiritual power immediately became uncontrollable.

Mo Wuji frantically struck out pill seals. Even he couldn't see the shadows of his hands, trying to suppress the violent spiritual power with his pill seals. However, the violent spiritual energy still began to collapse. In just half an incense stick of time, a muffled sound of "poof" came from his pill furnace, followed by a faint smell of burnt smell.

Mo Wuji slumped on the ground, his face extremely pale.

The rapid casting of pill seals just now consumed a tremendous amount of his Yuan Power and Spiritual Will. Although it was only half an incense stick of time, his hands were still trembling.

After resting for half a day, Mo Wuji reluctantly cleaned up the pill furnace. It was secondary that a precious strand of Jade Toad Purple Lotus Root silk had been damaged. The main thing was that he had no way to refine the meridian-opening medicine.

If he couldn't refine the meridian-opening medicine, it meant that he couldn't cultivate. If he couldn't cultivate, was he really going to stay here and wait to die?

With Linglong Pill Master taking care of Yan'er, he didn't need to worry about her anymore. And he himself must not wait to die here. Why did he choose the spiritual Qi-thin D-area? Wasn't it just to open his meridians?

Mo Wuji made up his mind in the shortest possible time. He was going to Wentian City again, just to buy a Green Flame Stone.

Although the Yellow Flame Stone could melt the Jade Toad Purple Lotus Root silk, Mo Wuji felt that the flame level of the Yellow Flame Stone was still too low to refine Grade 7 spiritual herbs. The flame level was too low, making it impossible for him to effectively suppress the Jade Toad Purple Lotus Root's spiritual power from erupting.

If it was something else, he might be able to ask Linglong Granny for help to refine it. The Jade Toad Purple Lotus Root and Fire Jade were too important. Once they were refined, he would have to refine the medicine on the spot. He definitely couldn't entrust such things to others. As for the sect's alchemy room, even if he, an outer sect disciple, could borrow it, he wouldn't dare to borrow it.

That place was full of powerful alchemists. As soon as the smell of his Jade Toad Purple Lotus Root silk went out, someone would probably know that he had obtained a Grade 7 spiritual herb.

...

"Senior!" Seeing Mo Wuji come to Luo Hai Commerce Building so quickly again, the clerk was even more delighted and hurried forward to greet him. In his mind, this was a wealthy man. How could someone who could casually buy a Yellow Flame Stone not be rich?

Mo Wuji nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly saw a figure that seemed somewhat familiar.

Dong Lun? Mo Wuji almost cried out in surprise. Wasn't this guy killed by him? How could he appear here?

No, this guy wasn't Dong Lun. Mo Wuji quickly noticed some differences between this person and Dong Lun. His eyes were more sinister, and he was slightly taller than Dong Lun. From the aura on this person, Mo Wuji could tell that his strength should be much stronger than his own.

Mo Wuji quickly withdrew his gaze and casually said to the clerk, "I want to buy a Green Flame Stone..."

When the clerk understood that Mo Wuji really wanted to buy a Green Flame Stone, he was so pleasantly surprised that he almost bit his tongue. A Green Flame Stone cost 150,000 Earth-grade spirit stones. If he could sell one, he could at least get a commission of a hundred Earth-grade spirit stones.

"Yes, yes, Senior, please follow me." The clerk's words were a little incoherent, and he quickly led Mo Wuji to the third floor.

"By the way, I just saw that guy on the first floor had a very fierce look in his eyes. Who is that guy?" Mo Wuji asked casually.

The clerk's mind was already filled with the 150,000 Earth-grade spirit stone business. He didn't pay attention to Mo Wuji's words at all, and casually replied, "That person is called Dong Mingzi. He is very powerful and comes from Wentian Academy. He seems to want to buy several things and has asked at many shops. He has come here several times. But his requirements are too strange, and I guess he hasn't bought anything yet."

Sure enough, his surname was Dong. Mo Wuji was sure that this guy was related to Dong Lun. Many of Dong Lun's things were smashed to pieces by the Ice Explosion Talisman. Fortunately, he didn't touch any of Dong Lun's things, nor did he think about selling Dong Lun's things. This guy was asking around everywhere, definitely looking for the person who killed Dong Lun.

Mo Wuji sneered in his heart. Killing Dong Lun was just the beginning. When his strength increased, he would openly and justly go to Jiji Sword City and destroy the entire Dong family.

...

Meeting Dong Mingzi made Mo Wuji even more eager to improve his cultivation. After buying the Green Flame Stone, he returned to the outer sect peak as quickly as possible. Without strength, wanting to seek revenge on Jiji Sword City was just a joke.

He was a mortal without spiritual roots. He was able to cultivate entirely because he had opened up another path of cultivation. Others opened spiritual meridians, but he opened meridians. If he wanted to climb to higher peaks in cultivation, he had to open up more meridians.

Back in his residence, he adjusted his state to the best possible condition and took out a bottle of Soul Protecting Earth Radiance Pills. With his current strength, it was definitely not enough to refine the Grade 7 spiritual herbs Jade Toad Purple Lotus Root silk and Fire Jade. Fortunately, he also had his own advantages. His strength was not good, but he had Spiritual Will, and his Spiritual Will was not weak. One had to know that Spiritual Will only began to condense in the Void God Realm. In the Lost Continent, how many people were like him, able to condense Spiritual Will in the Meridian Opening Realm?

However, his strength was too low. In the process of refining the medicinal liquid with Spiritual Will, it was very likely that he would not be able to hold on. That didn't matter, he still had Soul Protecting Earth Radiance Pills, which were specifically for restoring Spiritual Will.

In order to refine the latest meridian-opening medicine, Mo Wuji decided to go all out.
