Although Mo Wuji could see that Master Shi had not extracted the medicine completely, he himself could not even purify it. Purifying the elixir is a tedious and complicated process. Mo Wuji is still learning the various characteristics and compatibility of the elixir at this stage, and it is not yet time to purify the elixir.
Moreover, purifying elixirs requires a lot of elixir training. With his current net worth, he simply does not have the strength to learn.
Another hour passed, and Mo Wuji gradually smelled the fragrance of elixir. The excitement on Master Shi's face was getting stronger and stronger. He was vaguely aware that his luck in refining alchemy today was indeed better than before.
At this time, Alchemist Shi finally threw away the shovel in his hand, and the flames in the alchemy furnace were also weakened by him. His hands continued to slap on the surface of the alchemy furnace, and Mo Wuji seemed to see several pills rolling in the alchemy furnace.
With a "click", Mo Wuji saw Alchemist Shi reaching out to push up the handle next to the alchemy furnace and patting the appearance of the alchemy furnace. Six green and reddish elixirs fell into the jade bottle next to them.
"Hahahaha..." Seeing these six pills flying out, Master Shi laughed heartily, unable to hide the smug and excited expression in his eyes.
Mo Wuji felt a little disappointed, to be honest. Although he can't do what Alchemist Shi just did just now, he really admires Master Shi's alchemy techniques and process. It can be said that except for the initial action of Alchemist Shi clearing away the residue in the alchemy furnace, which made him feel a little handsome, there was nothing else in the process that he could admire.
He didn't see the hand techniques or elixir techniques required for the legendary alchemy. What he saw was a spatula. He didn't see the legendary elixir fire, he just saw the earth fire. He also didn't see the legendary collection of pills. What he saw was just a slap to slap the pills out of the pill furnace.
"Third-grade elixir. I finally refined the third-grade elixir, which is the Ningluo Pill. I, Shi Jun, am now a third-grade alchemist. Master, you said that I have limited qualifications and will never be able to enter the ranks of a third-grade alchemist. But I did it today..." Alchemist Shi grabbed the jade bottle and seemed to be getting more and more excited.
Mo Wuji sighed, does this count as Fan Jin passing the exam
This guy's master was right. With his alchemy skills and qualifications, it would be really difficult for him to become a third-grade human alchemist. Even if Mo Wuji has not yet become a true alchemist, it can be seen that this stone alchemist's alchemy qualifications are indeed limited.
Acquired diligence can make up for many innate deficiencies. But in some industries, no matter how diligent you are, it will be difficult to succeed without talent. Botanical research scientists on Earth are such a profession, and sometimes they rely on an innate sense.
"You are right. You are indeed a lucky star. For this Ningluo Pill, I refined it eleven times and failed. It is indeed true that I called you to the alchemy room today. I succeeded in refining it. I have found a true third-grade alchemy master." Shi Jun's tone was still filled with excitement, and he used three Guoren in a row.
Mo Wuji thought to himself, looking at your appearance, not only did you not have foresight in choosing your name, but you also had no foresight in your own alchemy level. I don't believe that you can refine the same batch of Luo Ning Dan next time without me. Just be honest and be your second-grade human alchemist. A third-grade human alchemist? You really think too much.
Before, he thought that this Shi Dan Master had failed seven times, but he didn't expect that this guy had failed eleven times. If he hadn't helped him, he would have failed this twelfth time.
"Congratulations to Master Shi, my disciple is leaving." Mo Wuji had no interest in staying here and listening to this guy's bragging.
Shi Jun suddenly said, "No need to leave in a hurry, what's your name?"
"Disciple Mo Wuji." Mo Wuji quickly replied, although he felt that this Shi Jun did not have much future. But he knew very well in his heart that in the sect, compared with him, this Shi Dan Master was the same as the gap between the bright moon in the sky and a firefly. He cannot offend such a person.
Shi Jun nodded with satisfaction, "You are very good. Please stay with me from now on and help me deliver medicinal materials."
Mo Wuji was shocked. Wasn't this asking him to seek death? With this stone alchemist's alchemy skills, he would probably fail to refine a third-grade elixir eleven times out of ten. The extra time was because he needed at least eleven medicinal materials for ten elixir refinements.
"Senior, this junior has been a handyman disciple in the dispensing room No. 19. It is inconvenient for him to go with him. Please forgive me." Mo Wuji refused without hesitation.
Shi Jun looked at Mo Wuji in complete disbelief. What a great opportunity is this? If it had been any other handyman disciple, he would have been kneeling on the ground and thanking him profusely. How could Mo Wuji be like this? Not only did he not thank him, he also didn't want to follow him.
"Did I hear you correctly? Do you know what you just said? Do you know what you will miss once you refuse?" Shi Jun finally calmed down and asked even more confused.
Mo Wuji said in his heart, I know too well. It's weird to have a future with a mediocre alchemist like you. I would rather prepare the medicine here and learn some alchemy methods from other alchemists. Want to learn how to cook with you? I really have no interest in it.
After confirming that Mo Wuji was really unwilling to follow him as a handyman who prepared medicinal materials for him, Shi Jun snorted coldly, threw a jade bottle to Mo Wuji, and then turned around and left. A handyman disciple dared to refuse such a good thing, which made him extremely angry. However, he said that the completion of the elixir would bring some benefits to Mo Wuji, so he would not break his promise to a handyman disciple like Mo Wuji.
Naturally, Mo Wuji would not refuse Shi Jun's reward, it was what he deserved. He also bought the water velvet vine with money. If he hadn't added the water velvet vine, Shi Jun's furnace of Condensation Pill would definitely have failed.
Looking at the bottle in his hand, Mo Wuji thought to himself that even if the elixir inside was not valuable, this jade bottle would still be worth something. His pulse-opening medicine cannot be used in jade bottles, they are all glass bottles the size of a little finger.
The jade bottle given by Shi Jun has Qi Condensing Pill written on the outside. This pill is suitable for practitioners in the early stages of expanding their pulses and can improve the practitioner's cultivation level. However, Mo Wuji felt that this pill was not of much use to him. It was enough for him to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and he had no need for this Qi Condensing Pill.
After putting the elixir away, Mo Wuji was indifferent to Shi Jun's anger. He returned to his residence and continued to study the wordless elixir book.
Although Shi Jun's alchemy skills were poor in Mo Wuji's eyes, he still learned a lot from Shi Jun. In the next stage, he will start to learn how to purify medicinal materials. The principles of purification of medicinal materials and properties of elixirs are different and require hands-on work. He had to buy some low-level elixirs to come back and learn while doing it.
It's just that he doesn't have many gold coins on him, and even the cheapest elixir costs dozens of gold coins or more. Better elixirs often cost tens or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins. No matter how good the elixir is, I heard that you can't buy it with gold coins, you must use spiritual stones.
Mo Wuji had only heard about the monetary unit of spirit stone, but had never seen it, let alone used it. I heard that spiritual stones can not only be used as currency, but also as a resource for cultivation. The spiritual energy contained in it is countless times richer than the external spiritual energy, and it is also easy to absorb and transform vitality.
To purify medicinal materials, in addition to elixir training, a high-end pill furnace is also needed. Mo Wuji couldn't even afford the elixir, and naturally the alchemy furnace couldn't even afford it.
After looking at Yan'er who was sleeping peacefully, Mo Wuji decided to go find Wu Kai for help. He needs someone to take care of Yan'er and then go out to find some spiritual herbs instead of spending money to buy them.
