Drug Concoction

”I saw that you have been observing the garden a lot these few days, seems like you are really interested in nurturing flowers?” Deacon Wei sounded off from afar.

Mo Wuji hurried to get on his feets as he clasped his fists together towards Deacon Wei and replied apologetically, ”Because I was completely captivated by the huge variety of flowers here, I had forgotten to visit you. I hope that you can forgive me for being so forgetful.”

Deacon Wei shook his hand, ”No worries, this is only a small matter. I’ve heard from Master Qian Shan that you are a gardener but I want to ask if you know how to concoct drugs?”

Concoct drugs? Mo Wuji shivered a little because his status now was merely a gardener and drug concoction should be the job of a drug refiner. Even in the Immortal Domain, the status of a drug refiner should be much higher than a gardener right? Why would Deacon Wei ask a gardener like him if he knew how to concoct drugs?

Seeing how Mo Wuji was in a daze, Deacon Wei explained, ”It’s okay if you don’t know. I casually asked you this because when you first arrived, I could smell the scent of spiritual herbs from your body. It seems like you are pretty interested in flowers so how about this? Come to my place tomorrow and I will assign you a plot of land for you to be in charge.”

Mo Wuji’s heart turned cold because before he descended Wen Lianxi’s ship initially, he was indeed concocting the Tier 8 True Nihility Pill. He would have never expected Deacon Wei, a person in charge of the flowers would notice such small details and even remember them. Seemed like this Deacon Wei was not any ordinary deacon.

”I do know how to concoct some drugs but my standard for purifying herbs into their essence is still not extremely good,” Mo Wuji hurried to say because he definitely didn’t want to waste time nurturing flowers here. If he had this amount of time to spare, he would rather find some cultivation resources and undergo closed doors cultivation. Because he had no clue what Deacon Wei’s intentions were, Mo Wuji decided to be slightly conservative with his answer.

Hearing that Mo Wuji said he knew how to concoct drugs, Deacon Wei was elated as he asked, ”So what is percentage purity of essence can you achieve?”

Mo Wuji smiled slightly, ”I should be able to achieve above 80%.”

If he were to just purify spiritual herbs, Mo Wuji could easily achieve 90% and above of purity and he had a high chance of hitting 100% if he were to use his Scholar’s Heart. Mo Wuji had never tried purifying immortal herbs but he guessed that 80% shouldn’t be a problem for him.

”That’s good enough, I will arrange for you to help the Hundred Flowers Manor concoct drugs. This ensures a better future than being a gardener for you too and even though it might be a little more tiring, the monthly allowance would be ten times higher,” Deacon Wei said excitedly.

Mo Wuji asked inquisitively, ”Don’t we, Hundred Flowers Manor, grow flowers only? Why do we need to concoct drugs?”

Deacon Wei laughed, ”The concoction of drugs is the main source of income for our Hundred Flowers Manor and we grow flowers simply because our Manor Lord likes it. Even so, there are a lot of immortal herbs within these flowers that we grow.”

”Then may I ask what are the few drugs that you all concoct here?” Mo Wuji shot out yet another question because if his job was to only purify a few spiritual herbs, he wasn’t interested at all. If it involved immortal herbs, he wouldn’t mind helping by staying a little longer.

He just arrived here at the Immortal Domain so it couldn’t get any better if he could concoct drugs to earn cultivation resources. As for the blackstones, Mo Wuji wouldn’t touch it unless he was fully aware of its uses. Even if he knew the uses, he needed to wait till he was sufficiently strong enough before touching it.

”It ranges from Tier 1 immortal herbs to Tier 3 immortal herbs and the monthly allowance would be directly dependent on the purity of your concoction as well as the amount you concoct. Don’t worry, as long as you do a great job and already have sufficient cultivation resources, we would occasionally give out immortal pills. Hurry up and follow me, I will bring you to meet Manager He,” After Deacon Wei finished speaking, he waved to Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji followed behind Deacon Wei out of the garden and asked, ”Deacon Wei, the book you gave me was really decent but why are there only flowers in the book?”

Mo Wuji had only just arrived at the Immortal Domain and was completely clueless about the different types of immortal herbs so his priority now should be to study the various immortal herbs.

Deacon Wei answered immediately, ”This Hundred Flowers Collection was arranged by the Manor Lord as she is not only proficient in all sorts of herbs but even more proficient in flowers. As long as you contribute to the Hundred Flowers Manor, the Manor Lord will reward you and you can even put forward any requests you have.”

As he spoke, Deacon Wei had already brought Mo Wuji to the stone gate in front of the stylish building he saw earlier.

Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to scan the place and could instantly sense the various hidden and defensive arrays put in place.

”Come in, but try not to look around,” Deacon Wei signalled for Mo Wuji as he stepped through the stone gate first.

The moment Mo Wuji entered the stone gate, he could sense the array behind him closing up. His heart skipped a beat but he calmed himself down very soon after. He was merely a nobody so the Hundred Flowers Manor wouldn't resort to such extensive measures to deal with him.

After crossing two intersecting stone paths, Deacon Wei finally stopped in front of a door which was full of restrictions. Following which, Deacon Wei slided a jade token across the door and the restrictions were immediately lifted.

Mo Wuji could smell the fragrances of medicinal drugs as he followed closely behind Deacon Wei.

In front of Mo Wuji was a big hall which covered close to 1000 meters square of land and there was a pile of the various medicinal herbs in the middle of the hall. There were seven people purifying the herbs and in front of each of them was an Earth fire. Everyone of them was sending the essences of the purified herbs into a jade vase beside them.

Mo Wuji used an Earth fire before during his time at the Formless Blade Sect so he didn’t find it very fascinating seeing it here. Other than being stronger, there wasn’t really much difference between the Earth fire here and the one he used at the Formless Blade Sect.
