Mo Wuji’s face turned awkward as he said, ”Because I have always been a gardener and most of the time, I have only been purifying spiritual herbs and Tier 1 immortal herbs. I may have came across a few Tier 2 immortal herbs but it was in very rare instances.”
All the drug refiners did not doubt Mo Wuji’s explanation because the status of a gardener was really low. Even though they were all drug refiners and their job was tough too, their status was much higher than a gardener. The monthly allowance of a gardener could at most allow them to afford some better Tier 2 immortal herbs, let alone large amounts of Tier 2 immortal herbs for them to purify.
”Dao Friend Mo, didn’t Manager He give you the Hundred Herbs Collection before you came over?” Wang Hezhen questioned.
Mo Wuji thought of the Hundred Flowers Collection that Deacon Wei gave him and realised that there was another book called the Hundred Herbs Collection. Manager He didn’t even mention anything about it which showed how unhappy he was with Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji’s intention was to learn how to purify a few low grade immortal herbs before leaving but he was naturally interested in something like the Hundred Herbs Collection. From the Hundred Flowers Collection, Mo Wuji knew that this Hundred Herbs Collection must be pretty extraordinary.
”The Hundred Herbs Collection has very detailed introduction of all Tier 1 to Tier 3 immortal herbs,” Wang Hezhen added.
Mo Wuji hurried to inquire, ”Brother Wang, was this Hundred Herbs Collection also written by the manor lord?”
”Of course, the main reason I came over to be a drug refiner here was for the Hundred Herbs Collection,” Before Wang Hezhen could answer, a slightly younger drug refiner answered from far away.
Evidently, everyone was no longer as concerned about Mo Wuji the moment they found out that his background as a gardener.
”Then the manor lord must be a top grade Pill Monarch,” Mo Wuji was not completely clueless because at least he knew what a Pill Monarch was.
”I’ve heard that the manor lord didn’t know how to concoct pills nor drugs,” Wang Hezhen shook his head as he answered Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji’s heart trembled because how could someone, who didn't know how to concoct drugs, be able to write out the Hundred Flowers Collection as well as the Hundred Herbs Collection. The only possible reason for this would be that the manor lord had a peak grade immortal herbs drug manual.
At the thought of this, the fire in Mo Wuji’s heart started raging because the one thing he was lacking now was knowledge. To become a Pill Monarch, he had to at least be familiar with the various immortal herbs. If the manor lord of the Hundred Flowers Manor really and a peak grade manual of the immortal herbs, he had to crack his brain to get a copy of it no matter what.
Previously, he had no idea what was the strength of the manor lord of the Hundred Flowers Manor. If the manor lord was a Heavenly Immortal, he could use the blackstones to exchange. If the manor lord was stronger than a Heavenly Immortal, he would have to use other means to get the manual.
As he thought about this, Mo Wuji hurried to ask, ”Brother Wang, if you spend so much time refining drugs here, won’t you have no time to cultivate?”
In actual fact, Mo Wuji wanted to ask about the relationship between blackstones and advancing into the Heavenly Immortal Stage but he felt that it wasn’t appropriate to ask directly about blackstones here. Even though Wen Lianxi already knew that he came from the Half Immortal Domain, people here didn’t know about it and he couldn’t reveal it now.
Wang Hezhen laughed bitterly and said, ”I do not even have a Calamity Crossing Pill so I can forget about advancing into the Heavenly Immortal Stage. Moreover, so what if I managed to advance into the Heavenly Immortal Stage? Would I be able to condense immortal lattices? In fact, I wouldn’t even be able to afford one immortal lattice stone. If I am unable to condense the immortal lattices, I will forever be stuck in the Heavenly Immortal Stage and forever be unable to ascend the Immortal Seeking Staircase to enter the true Immortal World…”
Mo Wuji heard these words and it seemed as though countless of mysteries had been resolved and even more mysteries popped up at the same time.
Now, Mo Wuji was certain that the blackstone was the immortal lattice stone and no wonder it was so valuable. It was something to be used for condensing immortal lattices.
However, what did Wang Hezhen mean when he said that if one was unable to condense immortal lattice, one wouldn’t be able to enter the true Immortal World? Isn’t this the Immortal World?
Mo Wuji really wanted to ask more questions but the restrictions on the entrance of the concoction hall trembled slightly.
Manager He and Deacon Wei entered the hall first and stood on both sides of the entrance as a young woman walked in.
Noticing the young woman, everyone including Wang Hezhen stood up and bowed, ”Greetings Manor Lord.”
The moment the woman entered, Mo Wuji extended the spiritual will from his spirit storage channel to be cautious as he had just arrived at the Hundred Flowers Manor. After all, not everyone was as kind as Wen Lianxi to not harm him even though their deal fell through.
Mo Wuji stood up with the rest as he extended his spiritual will concurrently. He didn’t expect the manor lord to be such a young woman and after he followed the rest in greeting the manor lord, he couldn’t help but praise the beauty of this young woman.
Especially the delicate and beautiful pair of eyes which was almost like an expanse of limpid water in autumn; so calm yet it brought along traces of solemness which could go undetected. Her fair skin was almost like cream which could be seen from her slightly exposed neck, seemingly smoother than anything he had seen before.
She was merely wearing a simple dark coloured dress, a dress which wouldn’t really bring out the beauty of any other woman. However, when she was in this same dress, this dress seemed to exude a fairy-like nature of its own. All these years, clothing had always added colour to human but in this particular case, with this young woman, she brought colour to the clothing.
He had only seen such beauty three times: Cen Shuyin, Zhuang Xiyue from the Tian Chi Manor as well as the manor lord in front of him now.
Moreover, this manor lord looked slightly more mature for her age and looking at her hair bun, it seemed like she was already married.
