Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 614: A Marriage Without Capital
With his understanding of the Dao of Pill Alchemy, he was sure that subsequent pills would definitely not be lower than superior grade.
Mo Wuji grabbed another pile of immortal spirit herbs and began refining the second batch of Immortal Rain Pills.
Generally, a powerful pill refiner would need several hours to refine a Sixth Grade Immortal Pill, and a weaker pill refiner would even need several days. Mo Wuji only took half an hour, and the second batch of Immortal Rain Pills was out.
As expected, it was a full batch, but unlike the first batch, the second batch had four special grade Immortal Rain Pills.
Mo Wuji did not refine Immortal Rain Pills for the third batch; he chose to refine the Garro Immortal Pill.
The Garro Immortal Pill is a Sixth Grade Immortal Pill of extremely high value, which can increase the chances of a Grand Zenith Immortal advancing to a Grand Luo Immortal. Any such pill would cause a frenzy if put on the market.
Mo Wuji had plenty of materials for refining the Garro Immortal Pill; enough for him to squander.
The Garro Immortal Pill was much more difficult to refine than the Immortal Rain Pill. Mo Wuji's third batch of Garro Immortal Pills was still a full batch, and not only that, but there were six special grade pills.
In the fourth batch of Garro Immortal Pills, the special grade pills reached nine. In the fifth batch, they reached eleven. In the sixth batch, Mo Wuji still refined a full batch, and all twelve pills were special grade.
Stopping the refinement of Garro Immortal Pills, Mo Wuji sighed inwardly. When he was a Mysterious Immortal, no matter how he refined, the Sixth Grade Immortal Pills were only of lower grade.
Now, he had used six batches of pills to raise his Pill Dao level to a Sixth Grade Honorable Pill King.
Mo Wuji was very clear that he could not refine special grade Sixth Grade Immortal Pills before, not because his Pill Dao was insufficient, but because his strength was limited. Now that he had advanced to Grand Unity Immortal and his flame had advanced to Seventh Level Immortal Flame, refining Sixth Grade Immortal Pills was almost a matter of course.
Mo Wuji cleaned the pill furnace. He did not immediately start refining Seventh Grade Immortal Pills. Although he had many Seventh Grade immortal spirit herbs, he could not waste them casually. He wanted to summarize some of his gains and losses in refining Sixth Grade Immortal Pills before starting to refine Seventh Grade Immortal Pills.
The preciousness of Seventh Grade immortal spirit herbs could not be compared to that of Sixth Grade immortal spirit herbs. He was able to obtain so many Seventh Grade immortal spirit herbs because he had taken advantage of Kui Fengyun. He had inadvertently stumbled upon Kui Fengyun's secret, and as a result, those immortal spirit herbs had become his.
Mo Wuji believed that with his understanding of the Dao of Pill Alchemy, plus the Seventh Grade immortal spirit herbs he had, there would be no problem for him to advance to a Seventh Grade Pill Emperor.
He was even sure that no Sixth Grade Pill King had ever been so extravagant when advancing to a Seventh Grade Pill Emperor, with a pile of Seventh Grade immortal spirit herbs for him to refine. Other Pill Emperors were built up with time, but he didn't have that much time and could only use immortal spirit herbs to pile up.
Three days later, Mo Wuji took out the immortal spirit herbs for the first batch of Seventh Grade Immortal Pills. He planned to start with the Three Revolutions Blood Severance Pill. The Three Revolutions Blood Severance Pill was not very difficult to refine, nor was it the easiest type of Seventh Grade Immortal Pill. Using this Seventh Grade Immortal Pill to practice was extravagant for other pill refiners, but it was more suitable for Mo Wuji.
The main immortal spirit herb for the Three Revolutions Blood Severance Pill was the Blood Crying Vine, which would flow out a blood-like liquid when broken. It was considered a relatively precious type among Seventh Level immortal spirit herbs, and the Three Revolutions Blood Severance Pill refined from it could replenish a cultivator's essence blood. Because Mo Wuji had obtained a large number of Blood Crying Vines in the Immortal Herb Valley, he used it for practice.
The reason why high-level Immortal Pills are difficult to refine is mainly because the immortal spirit medicinal properties in the immortal spirit herbs are difficult to control. The higher the level of the immortal spirit herbs, the more difficult they are to control, and the more likely they are to explode with medicinal properties.
Mo Wuji's flame was a Seventh Level Immortal Flame, but his pill furnace was only a Sixth Grade immortal artifact, which further increased the difficulty for Mo Wuji to refine Seventh Grade Immortal Pills.
One by one, Seventh Level immortal spirit herbs were sent into the pill furnace by Mo Wuji. Under the Azure Cloth Heart, Mo Wuji skillfully extracted the essence of the medicinal liquid.
Mo Wuji dared not say anything else, but when it came to extracting the essence of medicinal liquid, if Mo Wuji recognized the second, no one would dare to say they were better than him.
After a full two hours, all the essence of the immortal spirit herb medicinal liquid was extracted by Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, and he began to merge the liquid. This step was not difficult for Mo Wuji either. He had failed in refining pills before, but he had rarely encountered problems with merging the liquid.
But this time, only half an incense stick of time passed before the pill furnace made a bang, and all the essence of the immortal spirit herb medicinal liquid exploded. If Mo Wuji was not at the Ninth Level of the Immortal Spiritual Body, he might have been injured.
Mo Wuji took a breath. He was not surprised that the first batch of Seventh Grade Immortal Pills failed. He was surprised that he had not expected to fail in merging the liquid.
After cleaning the pill furnace, Mo Wuji continued to refine the second batch of Three Revolutions Blood Severance Pills. Like the first batch, after more than two hours, the pill furnace medicinal liquid exploded.
The third batch, the fourth batch…
After exploding nine batches of Three Revolutions Blood Severance Pills in a row, Mo Wuji had to stop refining. This was no longer a matter of experience. Almost all of the nine batches of pills exploded during the process of merging the liquid. Only two batches passed the merging of the liquid, and they also exploded just after passing the merging of the liquid.
After pondering for half a month, Mo Wuji still did not find the reason. He had a premonition that this was not a problem with his refining technique and experience, but rather that, like when he was stuck at the Fifth Grade Pill King, his realm was not high enough.
However, this time was different. Even if his realm was not high enough, he had to advance to the Seventh Grade Pill Emperor in the shortest possible time. If he waited until he cultivated to the Immortal King before refining Seventh Grade Immortal Pills, then it would be too late.
Mo Wuji was preparing to try refining other Seventh Grade Immortal Pills when Han Long sent him an urgent message that the flying shuttle had been stopped.
Mo Wuji immediately scanned out with his spiritual will. Blocking the flying shuttle were a man and a woman. Mo Wuji put away the pill furnace and landed on the deck of the flying shuttle in one step.
"It's the Wu Ben Couple. Today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to settle this peacefully," Han Long transmitted a message to Mo Wuji as soon as he came out.
"Wu Ben Couple?" Mo Wuji transmitted back in confusion. He had never heard of this. The man and woman standing in front of his flying shuttle did not look very old. The man had a good appearance, but his face was dark. He didn't know if it was because of the cultivation technique or some other reason.
The woman looked gentle and lovely, and her appearance was three points more beautiful than Han Long. Her skin was exactly the opposite of the man's; it was very fair. Her hands were like jade scallions; almost perfect. From the appearance, Mo Wuji was more inclined to believe that this woman was a very intellectual lady from a prominent family.
In fact, Mo Wuji was very clear that since these two people had blocked his flying shuttle, and Han Long was talking about the Wu Ben Couple, he knew that what he saw was definitely a superficial phenomenon.
"So there's still an ant," the dark-faced man said with a slight upturn of his mouth when he saw Mo Wuji come out. His tone even carried some teasing.
Mo Wuji did not speak. These two guys were both Grand Luo Immortals. The man should be in the late stage of the Grand Luo Immortal, and the woman was already at the Great Perfection of the Grand Luo Immortal.
Han Long continued to transmit a message, "The Wu Ben Couple are a couple who escaped to Peaceful Corner and then to the Great Desolation Sea. The man is called Kuang Benhou, and the woman is called Gou Wuyu. These two are ruthless killers, and they live by killing people in the Great Desolation Sea. They also have a unique set of escape methods and ways to sense danger. Others are lucky to live for ten years in the Great Desolation Sea, but this couple has been in the Great Desolation Sea for one or two hundred years. Their cultivation has also gone from Grand Zenith Immortal to Grand Luo Immortal Perfection. They are getting stronger and stronger.
Both of these people are stronger than those of the same level, and they never let anyone go. So far, no more than ten cultivators have escaped from their hands. Because they are sinister and venomous, and they do business without capital, coupled with the fact that their names have the words 'Wu Ben' (meaning 'no capital'), this couple has earned the nickname 'Wu Ben Couple'. The most terrifying thing is that these two guys' flying treasure is also a Seventh Grade immortal artifact. Today, if we encounter these two people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape."
Although Han Long was transmitting a message to Mo Wuji, she was actually planning to fight desperately in her heart. Mo Wuji's cultivation would definitely not be too high. She was a Grand Luo Immortal Perfection, but her combat power was definitely not as good as one of the Wu Ben Couple.
"Ben-ge, let them leave their things behind and then commit suicide. That way, we can leave them a whole body," Gou Wuyu said.
Her voice was melodious and pleasant, with a tone of pity that made people want to thank her for her kindness.
With a wave of his hand, a gray long saber appeared in Mo Wuji's palm. He turned his head and said to Han Long, "Since we can't avoid it, let's fight. We'll each take one. I'll deal with Gou Wuyu, and you deal with Kuang Benhou. Don't be eager to win; just hold Kuang Benhou back."
Han Long's cultivation was similar to Gou Wuyu's, slightly higher than Kuang Benhou's. Although Han Long's cultivation was higher than Kuang Benhou's, Mo Wuji still estimated that she was not Kuang Benhou's opponent. As for that Gou Wuyu, this kind of woman was the most terrifying. Mo Wuji didn't know Han Long's combat experience, but according to Mo Wuji's judgment, Han Long had no chance of winning against Gou Wuyu.
That's why he wanted to take the initiative to deal with that woman.
"Ah…" Han Long exclaimed in surprise when she heard Mo Wuji's words. Before she could continue speaking, the long saber in Mo Wuji's hand rolled up and lunged towards Gou Wuyu.
Gou Wuyu stared blankly at Mo Wuji, who was rushing towards her. It was not until the saber light turned into a dozen zhang of saber radiance that she turned her head and said to Kuang Benhou, "Ben-ge, I finally understand what it means to be fearless because of ignorance."
As for Mo Wuji's saber radiance, she seemed not to have seen it at all.
"Hahaha…" Kuang Benhou laughed, "Remember my favorite part to eat, don't let the spiritual energy flow away too much."
Gou Wuyu smiled charmingly, and stepped out with her jade foot, walking towards Mo Wuji's saber light as if she were strolling in a leisurely courtyard. But the next moment, her jade face changed.
