Chapter 507: Assessment At The Fourth Level (2/2)

…

The Pill Dao Pagoda’s fourth level was no longer a rectangular shaped hall; it was a archetypal pill room. There was only a pill furnace in the pill room. Other than that, there was also a rest room.

Clearly, the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance knew that there wouldn’t be many pill kings, so one pill furnace was enough.

At the other end of the pill room, there was a faint gold staircase. The staircase was enveloped in mist, and it was competely unable to be seen through. Mo Wuji guessed that this faint gold staircase led to the fifth leel of the Pill Dao Pagoda. Mo Wuji knew that with his current abilities, he could only concoct Tier 4 Immortal Pills, which was equivalent to being a Tier 4 Immortal Pill King. Thus, he did not really care about the gold staircase.

Mo Wuji inserted his jade token into the groove beside the pill furnace. An even larger screen appeared in front of him; the screen showed the rules of the level.

”All pill refiners taking part in the Tier 4 Immortal Pill King assessment, you can choose the pill that you want to concoct. As long as you succeed in the pill concoction, you can bring away two pills as a reward. Pill refiners can choose to use your own pill furnace and flames. Pill refiners that chose the Grand Yi True Pill and fail, would need to pay immortal crystals. No matter what pill you choose, at least 90% of the batch must be in the intermediate grade and above to pass.”

As he continued to read downwards, he found that there were indeed various pill formuas. Right at the front, was the Grand Yi True Pill. Following it, was the Deadwood Pill, the Spirit Cleansing Pill, the Yi Immortal Pill… There was a total of ten pill formulas.

A failure in the Grand Yi True Pill required a payment of immortal crystals; Mo Wuji could understand. Even though the Grand Yi True Pill wasn’t the best pill among Tier 4 pills, it was definitely one of the highly sought after ones. Moreover, the Grand Yi True Pill required the Grand Yi True Fruit, which was an incredibly rare Tier 4 Immortal Fruit.

After all, this was a pill that helped a Xuan Immortal advance into the Grand Yi Immortal Stage; it could be considered a strategic immortal pill. Every single pill was incredibly easy to sell. Mo Wuji started to hesitate; if he chose the Yi Immortal Pill, he was sure that he would be able to be a Pill Dao Immortal Alliance’s Tier 4 Immortal Pill King within an hour.

However, Mo Wuji really wanted to concoct the Grand Yi True Pill, primarily because he didn’t have the Grand Yi True Pill’s pill formula. For any pill refiner, pill formulas were extremely important things.

Moreover, with his current ability, he wasn’t able to deduce the Grand Yi True Pill’s pill formula by himself. All the pill formulas that he managed to deduce were for pills that were in Tier 3 or below.

After spending a few minutes, Mo Wuji finally strengthened his resolve and pressed on the Grand Yi True Pill. Even if he failed, he would get to know the pill formula. That would really help when he wanted to advance into the Grand Yi Immortal Stage.

And even if he failed the Tier 4 Pill King assessment, he would still be a Tier 3 Pill Monarch in the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. A Pill Dao Immortal Alliance’s Tier 3 Pill Monarch should have some status, right?

As for the compensation, Mo Wuji believed that he was able to afford it. If he didn’t have enough immortal crystals, he could use his immortal lattice stones.

A faint light flashed and a pile of herbs appeared in front of him; the jade box which contained the Grand Yi True Pill was especially conspicuous.

Mo Wuji’s heart was filled with emotion; the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was really incredible. They were able to casaully bring out the ingredients for a pill like the Grand Yi True Pill just for an assessment.

Mo Wuji did not immediately start the pill fire, but carefully arranged the Grand Yi True Pill’s ingredients. There were more than 20 kinds of ingredients. Excluding the Grand Yi True Fruit, there were also other valuable herbs. For example, there was the Tier 4 Immortal Cedar, the Tier 4 Phoenix Wood Roots, etc.

Fortunately, Mo Wuji read the ”Grass, Wood Stone”. Not only did he recognise these ingredients, he understood their special characteristics.

After organising the ingredients, Mo Wuji started the fire, cleansing the dregs and impurities within the pill furnace.

This was the first time Mo Wuji was so cautious since he entered the Pill Dao Pagoda.

A whole incense’s time passed. Only then, did Mo Wuji place the herbs into the pill furnace for purification.

For pills below Tier 4, Mo Wuji could still choose to reserve his abilities. However, when concocting the Grand Yi True Pill, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to go all out. Moreover, he was only a Tier 4 Pill King in the first place.

One immortal herb after another was purified by Mo Wuji. A whole hour passed before Mo Wuji expelled the impurities and started to mix the medicinal essenses. At the same time, his spirit storage channel’s spiritual will started to mix into the medicinal essences, as he started to detailedly analyse the merging and compatibility of the essences.

Typically, Mo Wuji only spent an hour to concoct Tier 4 pills.

However, for this Grand Yi True Pill, he spent four hours with the essences before he started condensing the pill. But now that he reached this stage, Mo Wuji knew that he wouldn’t face any problem with the Grand Yi True Pill. The next main thing was the quality of the Grand Yi True Pill concocted.

Sharphorn Immortal Ruins Pill Dao Immortal Alliance’s seventh floor.

The middle-aged man that frowned at Mo Wuji previously suddenly stood up and stared straight at the huge display screen in front of him. He didn’t even react when the jade letter in his hand fell to the ground.
