Chapter 447: Liar (2/2)
Mo Wuji managed to refine the low grade immortal pill furnace in just one hour.
Mo Wuji was not the type of person to waste time so he immediately took out a bunch of Tier 8 spiritual herbs to concoct Tier 8 pills.
Even though he told Wen Lianxi that he was a Tier 9 pill refiner, the truth was that he hadn’t even touched a Tier 8 pill before, let alone Tier 9 pills. Therefore, he needed to become a true Tier 9 Heavenly pill refiner in the shortest possible time. As long as he had sufficient amount of spiritual herbs, this wouldn’t be too difficult for him.
Mo Wuji didn’t dare to use his Scholar’s Heart because why would he dare to show it off when he was only an Earthly Immortal Stage expert?
After deciding to use his simple Earthly Immortal’s flame, Mo Wuji chose to concoct the True Nihility Pill. This was a type of pill to recover the elemental energy of cultivators above the True God Stage. Back in Zhen Xing, he always wanted to concoct a pill like this but simply couldn't find any Nihility Immortal Grass.
The Nihility Immortal Grass was a Tier 8 spiritual herb and was astonishingly expensive because of its rarity. Presently, there were at least 10 Nihility Immortal Grass in the storage ring that Wen Lianxi gave him. Furthermore, all the other supplementary herbs were present so he naturally wanted to start by concocting this pill.
Mo Wuji felt like he returned to the days at the Formless Blade Sect where he put his heart and soul only on learning and deducing the concoction of a pill.
As stalks of herbs were thrown into the furnace, even though Mo Wuji was only using the Earthly Immortal flame, the herbs were fusing very quickly in the low grade immortal pill furnace as Mo Wuji started to purify the herbs.
Normally, the percentage purity when achieved was about 90% but this time round, he really wanted to try achieving 100% pure essence using this immortal furnace to purify his herbs.
Mo Wuji realised the outcome very quickly because just as he was about to achieve the 100% purity, he heard a clear explosion and then he could smell the burnt solution. This made him conclude that he had failed the first furnace of pills.
Mo Wuji failed on the second furnace of pills, third, fourth…
As long as he continued to purify even when the herbs were very close to achieving its 100% purity, the herbs would immediately explode.
…
Wen Lianxi stared at the monitoring screen and the first time she extended her spiritual will to observe Mo Wuji, she did that intentionally so that Mo Wuji was aware that she was observing him. If Mo Wuji dared to continue concocting the pills even under her watch, it would mean that she found the right person. However, Mo Wuji didn’t start concocting the pills straightaway as he tinkered with the jade letter and just like that, about four hours were wasted.
Afterwhich, Wen Lianxi retracted her spiritual will and ignited the hidden monitoring array screen for Mo Wuji’s room. He really wanted to know if Mo Wuji would dare to try concocting the pills once she retracted her spiritual will.
However, the truth made her disappointed and furious because Mo Wuji wasted a few hours and failed eight consecutive attempts. No wonder he only dared to start concocting the pills after she retracted her spiritual will.
If she still couldn’t tell that Mo Wuji was definitely not a Tier 9 pill refiner, she would really be an idiot. Previously a Tier 9 Heavenly pill refiner actually failed so horribly to concoct a Tier 8 immortal pill after eight attempts despite having his full strength back. She believed that even she could concoct out a few Tier 8 immortal pills, even if they were not of the best quality.
She sighed and realised that she must be at the end of her tether to actually believe a random stranger she met to be a talented pill refiner.
Presently, she started to doubt Mo Wuji’s claim that he managed to cross the Immortal Chasm. When she received the news that a battleship managed to cross the Immortal Chasm from the Half Immortal Domain, she was certain that Mo Wuji was a member of that ship because it would be perfectly normal to have been as wounded as he was even if he travelled using a ship. It was likely that because Mo Wuji was injured, the other members refused to bring him along and decided to leave him alone by the road.
Mo Wuji was in desperate situation which was why he lied to her so that he could escape to a safer place. At the thought of Mo Wuji’s desperate wish to live, Wen Lianxi sighed yet again because she hated to kill. Even though she was used by Mo Wuji, all she wanted to do was to throw him out and pray hard to never see this liar ever again.
…
Just as Mo Wuji failed to concoct eight consecutive furnace of pills, he realised that the problem was with the furnace. Mo Wuji didn’t continue trying to concoct for the ninth time because during the process of the eighth attempt, he was confident he could easily concoct a True Nihility Pill.
Just as Mo Wuji grabbed a bunch of ingredients preparing to concoct a furnace of True Nihility Pills, there was a slight movement in his restriction on his door.
Mo Wuji hurried to lift the restriction and he saw Wen Lianxi standing in front of his entrance so he hurried to clasp his fist and said, ”Greetings Senior Wen.”
Wen Lianxi stared at Mo Wuji for a while as she realised how naive she was to think that everyone would be like her and feel guilty after doing something indecent. For example how she felt extremely guilty for a period of time for putting a toxic spiritual will imprint into Mo Wuji’s sea of consciousness previously. However, she couldn’t see any traces of guilt in Mo Wuji’s eyes.
”Dao Friend Mo, have you gotten your alchemy standard back?” Wen Lianxi did her best to control her tone so as to appear calm.
