After leaving the Ice Peak at top speed, Mo Wuji realized he was lost.

With less than a month before leaving the Five Elements Desolate Domain, and without a bracelet, he now had to find someone who had one.

Mo Wuji wasn't worried about being lost. Over five thousand people had entered the Five Elements Desolate Domain, and he refused to believe he wouldn't run into anyone in the next month.

What he regretted was that the Five Elements Desolate Domain had countless top-grade spiritual herbs, but he had only managed to harvest a few sections of purple lotus root and a few lotus flowers.

Since entering the Five Elements Desolate Domain, Mo Wuji had either been rushing along the way or staying under the Ice Peak for nearly two months, he simply didn't have the opportunity to look for spiritual herbs. In fact, he didn't even know which direction to go in.

Sensing the richness of the spiritual energy, Mo Wuji chose the direction that he felt had a thicker concentration of spiritual energy.

After running for three consecutive days, Mo Wuji stopped. He finally saw a cultivator. Although it was still dangerous for him to stop a stranger with his cultivation level, Mo Wuji had no choice but to stop the other person in order to find the way out.

"What is it?" Seeing Mo Wuji appear suddenly, the cultivator waved his hand, and a crescent scimitar appeared in his hand. At the same time, he stared at Mo Wuji warily.

This cultivator had a sallow complexion, and the aura emanating from him made Mo Wuji feel a sense of danger.

Mo Wuji quickly cupped his fists. "This friend, I accidentally lost my bracelet and would like to ask which direction is the way back? If you also plan to go back, I wonder if you would allow me to follow along."

Seeing the bloodstains on this person's body, Mo Wuji was also cautious in his heart while asking for directions.

"Are you the No. 632 pill refiner from the Five Elements Pill Competition?" After looking Mo Wuji up and down again, the sallow-faced man asked, his tone seemingly a little excited.

"Yes, I am indeed pill refiner No. 632. I was fortunate enough to get fiftieth place and enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain." Mo Wuji didn't deny it. Since the other person recognized him, it meant that they had seen his competition.

Hearing that Mo Wuji was indeed pill refiner No. 632, the sallow-faced cultivator heaved a sigh of relief, put away his crescent scimitar, and cupped his fists at Mo Wuji, saying, "My name is Yu Zhi, a rogue cultivator. Greetings, Pill Master Mo."

He knew Mo Wuji's cultivation level very well because Pill Master Ming Ning had pointed out that Mo Wuji's cultivation level was only at the Meridian Opening Stage. Even if Mo Wuji had half a foot into the Spirit Building Stage, he wouldn't be any threat to him. He was already at the ninth level of the Spirit Building Stage. Moreover, when he observed Mo Wuji, he knew that Mo Wuji's strength definitely wouldn't be too high.

A cultivator with high strength wouldn't be like Mo Wuji, revealing an ordinary and unremarkable aura, without any spiritual fluctuations.

"So Brother Yu is also a rogue cultivator like me." Mo Wuji said with a smile. He was a little puzzled as to why Yu Zhi, whose cultivation level was obviously far stronger than his, would be so polite to him, a cultivator at the Meridian Opening Stage. Since the other person knew he was pill refiner No. 632, that meant they also knew his cultivation level was very low.

"So Pill Master Mo is also a rogue cultivator." Yu Zhi revealed a look of surprise, as if he had found a common ground between them.

This person was deliberately trying to befriend him. Mo Wuji was sure of this, otherwise, he wouldn't have had such an enthusiastic and exaggerated tone. After all, he was just asking for directions.

"Pill Master Mo, feel free to come with me..." Yu Zhi readily agreed to Mo Wuji's request. After hesitating for a while, he asked, "I wonder if Pill Master Mo can refine Fourth Grade Earthly Spirit Pills?"

Mo Wuji pondered for a moment before saying, "Although I haven't refined many Fourth Grade Earthly Spirit Pills, I believe that with a little more time, I will be able to refine Fourth Grade Earthly Spirit Pills with 100% success."

Mo Wuji indeed hadn't refined many Fourth Grade Earthly Spirit Pills, because all the few furnaces of Fourth Grade Earthly Spirit Pills he refined had failed. It could be said that he hadn't refined even a single Fourth Grade Earthly Spirit Pill to this day.

The reason why he said that he could refine Fourth Grade Earthly Spirit Pills was because Mo Wuji was worried that Yu Zhi would ask him to refine Fourth Grade Earthly Spirit Pills. If he said no, and the other party just left him, that wouldn't be good.

He had only met Yu Zhi after walking for three days. If Yu Zhi left, he didn't know how many days it would take to meet the next cultivator. And he didn't know if the next cultivator would say so much to him. Maybe they wouldn't even bother to say a word when they met, and would just kill him.

Mo Wuji's saying that he would be able to refine Fourth Grade Earthly Spirit Pills with 100% success after a while wasn't entirely a boast. His current strength was several times stronger than when he refined the Earth Essence Pill, and his spiritual will had been continuously upgraded. Even if he didn't have a spiritual will cultivation technique, he knew that his spiritual will was two levels stronger than before.

If he couldn't refine Fourth Grade Earthly Spirit Pills with his current strength, then there definitely wouldn't be many young pill refiners who could refine Fourth Grade Earthly Spirit Pills, or even very few.

In fact, during the Five Elements Pill Competition, he had seen at least hundreds of young Fourth Grade Earthly Pill Refiners. Of course, in such a large area as the Five Great Empires, these hundreds of Fourth Grade Earthly Pill Refiners would be the most precious existence. Even so, it showed that Fourth Grade Earthly Pill Refiners weren't as rare as hen's teeth.

"Yu is requesting Pill Master Mo to refine a furnace of Fourth Grade Earthly Spirit Pills for me. I beg Pill Master Mo not to refuse..." Upon hearing that Mo Wuji would soon be able to refine Fourth Grade Earthly Spirit Pills, Yu Zhi immediately knelt down on one knee, speaking almost in a choked voice.

This state was completely different from the fierce and creepy aura on him when Mo Wuji had just met him.

"Brother Yu, please get up. Refining Fourth Grade Pills is not a big deal, there's no need to do this." Mo Wuji quickly helped Yu Zhi up. He finally understood why Yu Zhi was so polite to him. It turned out that he had a request for him.

But with Yu Zhi's strength and cultivation level, it shouldn't be like this just to refine a furnace of Fourth Grade Earthly Spirit Pills, right? Fourth Grade Earthly Pill Refiners were indeed few, but they could still be found. For example, there were hundreds of Fourth Grade Earthly Pill Refiners in this Five Elements Pill Competition.

Yu Zhi took a deep breath and said in a low tone, "My wife was severely injured and has to vomit blood every Shen time (3-5 pm). If I hadn't given her countless blood-nourishing spiritual medicines, she would have..."

Yu Zhi couldn't continue speaking here, thinking of his suffering wife.

Mo Wuji immediately understood and asked, "Brother Yu, your wife's Sun Network Vessel (Ri Pu Luo) should have been severely injured, right? Such a heavy injury. If that's the case, Brother Yu, having your wife take blood-nourishing medicine is really like drinking poison to quench thirst."

The Sun Network Vessel was one of the human body's spiritual vessels. Once severely injured, one would vomit blood every day near dusk. Over time, the Sun Network Vessel would be completely destroyed. With the Sun Network Vessel destroyed, the rest of the spiritual vessels in the body would also wither away, and finally the injured person would die of dehydration.

Although one vomits blood every day after the Sun Network Vessel is injured, one cannot take blood-nourishing medicine, because the more blood-nourishing medicine one takes, the more the Sun Network Vessel will wither.

Mo Wuji had seen this in the Nameless Pill Book. What he saw wasn't the Sun Network Vessel, but the Fourth Grade Earthly Spirit Pill, the Nurturing Mansion Pill (Yun Fu Dan). The Nurturing Mansion Pill was a Fourth Grade Earthly Spirit Pill, and Mo Wuji knew that this kind of pill was even more precious than a Fifth Grade Earthly Spirit Pill, mainly because the main spirit herb of the Nurturing Mansion Pill, the Nurturing Mansion Grass (Yun Fu Cao), was extremely difficult to obtain.

The Nurturing Mansion Pill can treat many severely injured spiritual vessels. For cultivators, this kind of pill can be said to be one of the most precious pills. The Nurturing Mansion Pill is not only precious in its medicinal materials, but also in its pill formula. Nurturing Mansion Pills are rarely seen on the market today, and even if one or two occasionally appear, they are quickly snapped up.

The only way to treat a severely injured Sun Network Vessel is with the Nurturing Mansion Pill.

"Pill Master Mo is absolutely right, my wife's Sun Network Vessel was severely injured. I also know that giving her blood-nourishing things is like drinking poison to quench thirst, but I have no choice. If I don't do this, she would have, would have..." Yu Zhi was even about to cry, which showed how much he loved his wife.

"You want me to refine the Nurturing Mansion Pill?" Seeing Yu Zhi's condition, Mo Wuji simply asked.

Yu Zhi knelt on the ground again, this time not on one knee, but on both knees. "Pill Master Mo, if you can help me refine the Nurturing Mansion Pill, I, Yu Zhi, will be at your disposal for the rest of my life, even as a cow or a horse."

Mo Wuji sighed and said, "I have no way to help you refine the Nurturing Mansion Pill..."

Hearing Mo Wuji's words, the disappointment in Yu Zhi's eyes could no longer be concealed. He slowly stood up and remained silent for a long time before saying, "I was just wishful thinking. I have asked many pill refiners, but they either don't have the spirit herbs or don't have the pill formula..."

Yu Zhi shook his head and didn't say anything more. He hadn't sought Mo Wuji on a whim. After the Five Elements Pill Competition, he had wanted to find Mo Wuji, but he hadn't been able to find him. In his opinion, Mo Wuji was only at the Meridian Opening Realm, yet he could break through the encirclement of so many Earthly Pill Refiners, even ranking in the top ten in the first two rounds. This showed that Mo Wuji must have a powerful master. Even if Mo Wuji couldn't help him refine it, Mo Wuji's master could help refine it.

Mo Wuji thought of Yan'er and felt extremely sympathetic to Yu Zhi. He also said helplessly, "Brother Yu, I can find a way to get the pill formula, and I can also get the other spirit herbs, but the Nurturing Mansion Grass..."

As if hearing immortal music, the originally lifeless Yu Zhi suddenly raised his head, looking at Mo Wuji with surprise, his voice trembling as he said, "Pill Master Mo, can you really get the pill formula? I just got three Nurturing Mansion Grass..."

As he spoke, Yu Zhi had already raised his hand and threw out a large pile of spiritual herbs. Mo Wuji's mouth widened when he saw this pile of spiritual herbs.

This pile of spiritual herbs were all extremely rare spiritual herbs, the worst being Third Grade spiritual herbs. There were too many Fourth Grade and Fifth Grade spiritual herbs, and Mo Wuji even saw a few Sixth Grade spiritual herbs.

Qian Yuan Ginseng, Brilliant Treasure Fruit, Crimson Sun Leaf...

All kinds of spiritual herbs, all piled together in a mess.

Mo Wuji gasped. He hadn't seen a single spiritual herb since he came in. Had this guy robbed a spiritual herb garden?
