Chapter 117: Pill Refiners’ Interaction Session
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor:
Zhen Shaoru happily spoke, ”Isn’t the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition about to begin? There are so many pill refiners gathered here already. I heard that one of the pill refiners from the Heaven Seeking Palace started a pill refining interaction session, and all pill refiners are qualified to take part in it…”
Without waiting for Zhen Shaoru to finish, Mo Wuji interrupted out of excitement, ”You’re asking me to join this interaction session?”
”Yes, will you go or not?”
Mo Wuji immediately agreed without a shred of hesitation, ”I’ll go, of course I’ll go. Let’s leave right now,” Even if it was not an interaction session initiated by the Heaven Seeking Palace, Mo Wuji would have went for it anyway. Now that the Heaven Seeking Palace came into the picture, he naturally wanted to take a look even more.
Out of Zhen Shaoke’s clothes, a green jade token emerged. He handed it to Mo Wuji, ”Wuji, this is the token for participating in the pill competition. Without this token, Shaoru and you might not be able to enter.”
…
When they arrived at the back of the Heaven Seeking Palace’s encampment, Mo Wuji finally understood why the Heaven Seeking Palace was the speaker of the Lost Continent.
While this square at the outskirts of the Five Elements Desolate Domain was gigantic, but the sects and people here were numerous too. In reality, every corner of the square was very jam packed. In this whole picture, the Heaven Seeking Palace not only took up the best position, but also the centremost position. On top of that, they occupied one of the largest land areas of all the sects.
This might have been a temporary location for encampments, but a display of power like this really showed how mightier they were compared to other sects around.
”So how is it? Let’s ask the Heaven Seeking Sect. If I can obtain a Flower of the True Gods in the Five Elements Desolate Domain, I’ll also stand a chance to enter the Heaven Seeking Palace,” Zhen Shaoru exclaimed.
Mo Wuji thought to himself. This guy must really be quite carefree. Unless he’s completely sure that he can get a placing? Once he did not get one of the placings, based on the deal between Zhen Shaoke and the Second House Master, Zhen Shaoru would have no chance to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain.
”Are the two of you here to take part in the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Refiner interaction session?” Right outside the outermost perimeter of the Heaven Seeking Palace, a service disciple stopped both of them from progressing any further.
By then, Mo Wuji was already very familiar with what kind of person Zhen Shaoru was, and he quickly produced the green jade token, ”Yes, we are the people taking part from the Nine Moons Pill House…”
”Come in.” The disciple just let them in, without looking at Mo Wuji’s jade token at all.
Zhen Shaoru replied joyfully, ”You don’t need to hold back. He likely recognised that I’m the Young House Master of the Nine Moons Pill House, so he gave me some face,” Hearing this, Mo Wuji became speechless. Zhen Shaoru must have feel quite good about himself. Those outer disciples probably don’t recognise them at all, much less Zhen Shaoru. The truth is that no checks were conducted at all, and anyone who was going to the pill refiner interaction session was let through. As such, it was obvious that the Heaven Seeking Palace was rather friendly towards pill refiners participating in the session.
After entering the door, there was a sign labelled ”Pill Refiner Interaction Session” with an arrow pointing to the left. Mo Wuji and Zhen Shaoru walked for 30 over metres more, before reaching a broad and tall hall door.
Without any prompting, the doors opened before them. There were already hundred of people inside the hall.
Every corner of the hall had various types of fruits, and upon further scrutiny, Mo Wuji discovered that some of them were even Tier 1 spirit fruits. This truly reflected the extent of Heaven Seeking Palace’s wealth. Zhen Shaoru’s eyes lit up when he saw these spirit fruits, and he rushed over to start munching down on them.
”Not bad, not bad, these are spirit fruits. Moreover, they’re free. Wuji, why don’t you come eat a few?” With these freebies presented to them, it would have been a waste to not eat any. Zhen Shaoru held this belief, and called for Mo Wuji to join him, while he carried on with his eating spree.
A few looks of disdain went their way, but Mo Wuji acted as though he did not see them, and straight up grabbed a spirit fruit to eat. While he could afford to eat this sort of spirit fruit, it was a rare occasion. Other than those that he gave to Yan’Er, the majority of them were used to refine pills.
As for Zhen Shaoru, even if there were ten thousand people scornfully gazing upon him, he would just act like he’s blind. This guy did not know what a disdainful look was, and only cared about eating whatever he liked.
After Mo Wuji just finished his first spirit fruit, a great commotion rose in the centre of the hall. He went over to take a look out of curiosity. A young man was seemingly giving a lecture on drug theory, and the surrounding people broke into a round of applause.
Mo Wuji quickly told Zhen Shaoru, ”I’ll go over to take a look, carry on eating without me,” His reason for coming here was naturally to learn more drug theory, so since there was someone who voluntarily started sharing, he would not miss this opportunity.
Squeezing into the crowd, Mo Wuji finally had a clear view of the pill refiner giving the explanation. What puzzled him however, was that this pill refiner seemed to be about as old as him. He appeared at most 22 or 23 years old, with average looks. However, the man had striking red hair, and a cauldron shaped mark in the middle of his forehead, which left a deep impression in others.
This man was explaining the pros and cons of hand techniques, and their relationship with pill forming. While this was all fine and dandy, it wasn’t really useful for Mo Wuji who was already very well trained in hand and pill techniques. Moreover, his understanding towards how to use the hand and pill techniques was different from what this guy explained.
Seeing that the whole crowd encircled this pill refiner to listen to his lecture, all seemingly in a trance, Mo Wuji carefully tugged at the tubby pill refiner beside him to ask, ”Who exactly is this pill refiner that’s giving everyone a lecture?”
