Chapter 506: Pill Dao Pagoda Assessment (2/2)

The Pill Dao Immortal Alliance's hall had a total of seven floors. The moment Mo Wuji entered the seventh floor, he immediately saw the spatial array gate. Mo Wuji guessed that this array gate should be the one leading to the Pill Dao Pagoda.

There were two middle-aged cultivators sitting in the center of the room, and there were two pretty female cultivators standing at the entrance. The moment Mo Wuji entered, the two female cultivators bowed respectfully, then proceeded to move to the side. It was roughly similar to a VIP room back on Earth.

Even though the two middle-aged cultivators were sitting, Mo Wuji could immediately feel the pill aura exuded from the two of them. These two were clearly pill refiners.

”Assessed pill refiners can use the jade token to enter the spatial array gate. If you have been transported back here, it would mean that the assessment has ended.”

”Many thanks dao friends.” After that simple thanks, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to walk into the array gate, disappearing from the seventh floor.

The moment Mo Wuji left, the middle-aged cultivator that spoke to him began to shake his head, ”Ah, the people nowadays are far too ambitious. That young man didn't look very old, he didn't even have any pill fragrance on him, and he didn't even have wood-type spiritual roots, but he still dared to assess himself as a pill refiner.”

”Even though he wasn't old, he was still able to bring out 100,000 high grade immortal crystals. From the looks of it, he should be a disciple from a huge sect,” The other pill refiner added.

”Not necessarily,” The first pill refiner shook his head again, ”his spiritual aura wasn't obvious and he seemed to be in the early Golden Immortal Stage. For a young cultivator that doesn't have a strong spiritual aura, but yet have such a cultivation, his cultivation should have been the result of countless of immortal pills. This would also mean that his future potential is limited. Big sects wouldn't accept such a disciple. Moreover, it isn't very difficult to earn 100,000 high grade immortal crystals in a place like Sharphorn Immortal Ruins.”

...

Mo Wuji naturally didn’t know that he was being seen as an overambitious person; at this instant, he was in a similar hall. The hall was rectangular in shape, and at the two sides, there were places to concoct pills. The end of the rectangular hall was blocked by a black murky gate.

Some words were floating at the center of the hall: Pill Dao Pagoda Level 1, Acknowledging Tier 1 Immortal Pill Monarchs.

Roughly 80% of the spots on the two sides have already been filled. Even without asking, Mo Wuji knew that these people should be the same as him; they were all here to attain the qualifications from Pill Dao Immortal Alliance.

No one paid any heed when Mo Wuji entered. Here, there would continuously be assessed pill refiners being sent in, and they would continuously be people being sent out. Everyone came from all the various corners of the universe, so there was completely no need to care about each other’s names.

Mo Wuji walked to one of the pill concocting spots and sat down. Thereafter, he learned from the rest of the assessed pill refiners and placed his jade token into the groove in front of his seat.

Suddenly, he saw a glimmer of white light from another pill refiner’s jade token.

Just when Mo Wuji was wondering whether this fella had passed or failed, he saw the black gate at the end of the room open. The pill refiner picked up his glowing jade token and excitedly rushed through the gate.

Everyone looked at him with envy. Being able to leave the pagoda’s first level meant that he was recognised by the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance as a Tier 1 Pill Monarch. Only when one succeeded in concocting the pill, would his jade token illuminate and open the gate.

If the pill concoction failed, he would have been directly transfered out. If someone else opened the gate and you forcefully tried to enter, you would have been transported out, indicating that you have failed. If two people succeeded at the same time, only one of them could enter the gate. After the gate closed, it would open a second time and the other pill refiner would be able to enter.

So that’s what’s going on. After understanding the situation, Mo Wuji brought his attention back to what was happening in front of his seat.

At the side of the groove, a display screen appeared. 100 questions appeared on the display screen. Within these 100 questions, some only showed the name of an immortal herb, and the shape of the immortal herb must be drawn out. Some gave the name of the herbs, and the herbs’s special characteristics must be written. There were even some that showed the shape of the immortal herb, and its name and special characteristics must be written.

To Mo Wuji, these questions were extremely easy. At this point, he felt especially grateful towards Han Qingru; if Han Qingru hadn’t given him ‘Grass, Wood, Stone’ to him, he really wouldn’t have developed such a vast pool of knowledge towards immortal herbs.

Answering the questions were also very easy, he only needed to inscribe words or draw using his spiritual will. In less than half an incense’s time, Mo Wuji was able to answer all 100 questions.

Just when Mo Wuji answered the last question, a green leaf appeared on the display screen. Thereafter, the assessment criteria for the second round appeared: concoct a batch of Immortal Jade Pills, 50% of the batch intermediate grade or above. After which, a pile of immortal herbs was transported in front of Mo Wuji.

This was simply too easy. Mo Wuji had never concocted high grade Immortal Jade Pills before; all his Immortal Jade Pills were unique grade ones.

Purification, refining, essence extraction, essence separation, pill condensation, pill seperation…

Mo Wuji did things one step at a time, not facing a single hitch or delay. In the same half an incense’s time, a batch of unique grade Immortal Jade Pills appeared within pill furnace. Mo Wuji placed the pills in the jade vase provided, then placed the jade vase on the transfer array rune.

The instant the jade vase got transported away, Mo Wuji’s jade token emitted a gentle white light. Following which, the black gate to the second level opened.

Mo Wuji stood up and pulled out his jade token, then he swiftly went through the gate.

Only after Mo Wuji disappeared, did the other pill refiners in the first level react.

”Was he even here for an incense of time? He just completed the Tier 1 Pill Monarch assessment like that? Could he be a Pill King?”

”Even a Pill King wouldn’t be so fast. I wonder what’s the quality of his Tier 1 Immortal Pill?”
