Shi Jun said slightly nervously, ”Wuji, ever since that time where you were by my side, I have never succeeded in concocting the Channel Solidifying Pill. Your luck must help me this time ah. If I cannot concoct the Channel Solidifying Pill, I'm finished.”

Shi Jun had a lot of trust in Mo Wuji. In the cultivation world, luck was not an illusory thing; some people were able to rise above others because they had greater luck.

However, Mo Wuji did not understand how luck was involved. He was also a little nervous as he whispered to Shi Jun, ”Pill Master Shi, I actually have another method, it's called Lucky Contact. We just need a bucket of water. I will wash the ingredients with my hands, and that would help to spread the luck. Your success rate would definitely be at least two times more than usual.”

”No problem, I will get someone to bring a bucket of water.” With that, Shi Jun muttered a few words to the disciples who were carrying in the pill furnace. Sure enough, the disciples brought in a bucket of water in less than a minute.

”Pill Master Shi, what are you doing exactly?” someone immediately asked.

Shi Jun replied calmly, ”I intend to wash each of my ingredients to increase my success rate. Wuji, I will be concocting the pill soon, so I will leave this washing job to you.”

Seeing Shi Jun call Mo Wuji over to wash the ingredients, the people in the hall started to have an understanding on why Shi Jun wanted an ingredient boy in the first place. After all, this was a job for the ingredient boy and not the pill refiner. At the same time, they also didn't question about washing the ingredients. Every pill refiner had their own methods, so there was nothing wrong with that.

Shi Jun's pill furnace was the second from the right while Pill Master Ju's pill furnace was the third from the right; coincidentally, they were neighbours. When Mo Wuji saw that, he couldn't help but curse his bad luck.

The fact was, Shi Jun called Mo Wuji here so that Mo Wuji could help him. On the other hand, Mo Wuji had come here to observe how the other pill refiners concoct pills.

The person Mo Wuji hoped to see the most was Yan Qianyin. After all, she was a Tier 4 pill refiner. As an Earth Pill Refiner, her methods must definitely be above the rest. Unfortunately, it wasn't Yan Qianyin beside him. It was only after threee other pill refiners got into position that Mo Wuji discover that Yan Qianyin did not even come down at all.

Mo Wuji quickly discovered the reason: As a Earth Pill Refiner, Yan QIanyin did not need to personally come down.

”My Formless Blade Mountain has not been opened for a thousand years. To raise the capabilities of our pill refiners, we will be specially opening it. As the resources in the mountain are limited, only seven people are allowed in. Initially, our Formless Blade Sect only had four Tier 3 pill refiners and one Tier 4 pill refiner, who will not be participating in our sect's internal pill concocting competition. The ones competing in this elimination competition are the five newly advanced Tier 3 pill refiners. Out of the five, only two can enter the Formless Blade Mountain. Everyone will have two tries to concoct a Tier 3 pill. Let the competition begin,” Seeing the five pill refiners get into position, the sect head announced loudly.

Mo Wuji only just discovered that only seven people can enter the Formless Blade. If you were to include the ingredient boys, there would only be 14 people entering. Previously, when he saw the crowds discussing in the Hall of Affairs, he thought that many people could enter the mountain.

Shi Jun promised him a chance to enter the Formless Blade Mountain if the pill concoction succeeded. In light of the numbers, this was really a huge favour.

Mo Wuji noticed that all the pill refiners had a red firestone underneath their pull furnaces. A huge flame burned below the furnace, and this red firestone seemed to be able to adjust the strength of the fire.

Shi Jun also ignited the flame as he prepared to clean his furnace.

Mo Wuji started immersing the ingredients into the bucket of water, washing each and everyone of them. Only the Green Fire Fruit wasn't added to the water. Instead, it was coated with the Water Velvet Vine juice which he kept in his sleeves.

After washing two batches of ingredients, Mo Wuji left them to the side to dry.
