Chapter 115: What Granny Linglong Wants
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor:
Two days later, Mo Wuji followed Zhen Shaoke to where thought he was going to board his beast carriage. That's when he received a huge shock. How is this a beast carriage? It's a huge flying ship!
”Mr Zhen, is this a flying beast carriage?” As Mo Wuji walked up the flying ship, he saw huge and various floors of living quarters, and he could not help but ask.
Zhen Shaoke was surprised for a moment before he laughed and said, ”Wuji, looks like you're really a rogue cultivator. The road to Five Elements Desolate Domain is long and arduous, a beast carriage is too slow, and it wouldn't be able to reach our destination in time. This here, is a flying treasure. It can be considered a low grade spiritual equipment.”
Mo Wuji had always known of the occupation of smiths, but this was his first time hearing the different grades of magic treasures, so he hurried to ask, ”Is this spiritual equipment a magic treasure? And it's actually a flying one?”
Zhen Shaoke explained without a hint of impatience, ”Items which fly are merely flying magic treasures, such as my flying ship. In reality, mortals have their martial weapons, while cultivators have magic treasures. Magic treasures can be further classified as magic items and spiritual equipment. I even heard that there are immortal equipment, but those are things of legends. Magic items and spiritual equipment have different grades: Low, Intermediate and High. Most cultivators use magic items. As the cost of spiritual equipment is too high, only few cultivators can afford to use it. I heard that smiths who can craft spiritual equipment are no lower than Earth Pill Refiners.”
So it's like that. It seems like the sharp knife I obtained is a magic item.
After boarding the ship, Mo Wuji was allocated a pill room. Yan'Er and Xiong Xiuzhu shared a room, while Tao Ao and Fei Bingzhu shared another. Zhen Shaoke kept this ship while waiting for Mo Wuji, so it was rather empty.
Not long after the group boarded, the flying ship’s body trembled slightly before charging up to the sky.
Mo Wuji gazed out the window and watched the white clouds fly by. This flying ship was multiple times faster than an airplane. Mo Wuji sighed; he finally understood why the people here did not pursue technology, and places with technology were the places where there weren't cultivators. How could an airplane’s speed compare to this flying ship? Furthermore, the taking off and landing of an airplane wastes time, and one would constantly need to monitor changes in the weather during an airplane's flight.
The pill room he was in was not considered big, and there was a cyan pill furnace at its centre. Mo Wuji might not know much about pill furnaces but he could tell that this pill furnace was better than the two he had used before.
By the side, there was a spiritual herbs shelf which held the spiritual herbs which Mo Wuji wanted. This time, Mo Wuji was preparing to concoct the Earth Yuan Pill. Among Tier 4 pills, the Earth Yuan Pill could be considered the most typical kind of pill. Not only were the spiritual herbs not very expensive, the techniques needed were also rather simple. This pill was mainly for Yuan Dan Stage cultivators to recover their True Yuan. At the same time, it could also be used by cultivators below the Yuan Dan Stage.
Initially, Mo Wuji thought that with the bit of spiritual will he possessed and the pill techniques he could exhibit, concocting Tier 4 Earth Pills should not be a major problem.
But a failure at his very first attempt delivered him a huge blow. He couldn't even fuse the medicinal essences for the most simplest of Tier 4 Earth Pills.
Under the raving spiritual energy, his pill techniques were all to no avail. After he barely managed to purify the spiritual herbs, the medicinal essences dispersed the moment they touched. He was completely unable to control the crazy outburst of spirituality; the pill techniques only served the prolong the time he could hold.
Tier 4 spiritual herbs were too hard to control, it was at least ten times harder than Tier 3 ones.
After failing for three consecutive times, Mo Wuji decided to stop practising. Any further practice would just be wasting the ingredients.
What he was lacking in weren't his hand and pill techniques, but his cultivation. Maybe after reaching Channel Opening Stage Level 9 or Spirit Building Stage, he could be able to successfully concoct a Tier 4 pill. However, it was an still an impossible task for now.
Mo Wuji did not mind that he wasn't able to concoct the Tier 4 pills. He believed that he just needed to be able to take part in the pill competition and get onto the Five Elements Desolate Domain name list. Didn't Yan Qianyin say that Granny Linglong wanted to search for a spiritual herb? If he wasn't able to meet Granny Linglong, he would go to Five Elements Desolate Domain to search for the herb which Granny Linglong wanted. If he played his cards right, he did not believe that he would not be able to move Granny Linglong.
Even though he stopped practising on Tier 4 pills, Mo Wuji did not go out but continued on with Tier 3 pills. He did not do it to familiarise himself with the hand and pill techniques, but to keep his pill techniques hidden from view. Once he competes, he might have to use his pill techniques. It would be best if he could keep his pill techniques hidden within his hand techniques. After all, most powerful pill refiners would have their own unique hand techniques. If he could do things more discretely, his pill techniques should not be discovered.
Ten days passed in a flash, Mo Wuji should be reaching the Five Elements Desolate Domain soon. Mo Wuji closed his pill furnace and walked out the door.
”Wuji, any results?” Mo Wuji did not expect that Zhen Shaoke would actually be waiting for him outside his door; the moment he opened it, he saw Zhen Shaoke.
Mo Wuji said ruefully, ”I failed, I really underestimated Tier 4 Earth Pills and failed for 3 consecutive batches. Afterwards, I was always practising my Tier 3 Mortal Pills.”
