Chapter 457 Price Hike of Immortal Grade Stones
Mo Wuji knew that Wang Hezhen didn't dare to answer, so he didn't ask any further. Not to mention Wang Hezhen, the other alchemists here were all silently refining medicine with their heads down, looking like a bunch of timid guys. Mo Wuji didn't care about these people. Naturally, those who shrank in this place all day refining monotonous Immortal Spirit Herbs wouldn't be very courageous.
That beautiful Manor Lord seemed to have no real opinion of her own. She abandoned the idea of continuing to ask him just because of Steward He's words. Mo Wuji guessed it would be difficult to find her again.
Since he was facing difficulties either way, he might as well learn how to extract level one to level three Immortal Spirit Herbs first. Anyway, he was leaving today, so he wasn't afraid of that Steward He at all. When Steward He came looking for trouble, he would just pack his bags and leave. Given Steward He's killing intent towards him, coupled with his unauthorized refining of high-level Immortal Spirit Herbs, he would naturally not let him go.
Mo Wuji also believed that if Steward He wasn't an idiot, he wouldn't kill him within Hundred Flowers Manor. As long as Steward He left Hundred Flowers Manor with him, it would be Steward He's death day.
Thinking of this, Mo Wuji directly walked over to the area with a large pile of level two and level three Immortal Spirit Herbs and grabbed some.
Seeing that Mo Wuji dared to touch level two and level three Immortal Spirit Herbs, everyone else was dumbfounded. However, no one spoke or reported him.
It was evident that although these alchemists were timid, they weren't willing to be Steward He's lackeys.
Mo Wuji started with the purification of level one Immortal Spirit Herbs. Only half an hour passed before he began to purify level two Immortal Spirit Herbs. Another half an hour passed, and Mo Wuji started purifying level three Immortal Spirit Herbs.
The alchemists, including Wang Hezhen, were all dumbfounded when they saw that Mo Wuji seemed to be able to easily extract qualified level two and level three Immortal Spirit Herbs.
In terms of Mo Wuji's extraction skills and speed, none of them could compare.
Just as Wang Hezhen was about to ask Mo Wuji for advice again, the level one Immortal Spirit Herb that Mo Wuji was purifying turned to ashes in his hand.
Immediately, everyone was even more astonished to discover that Mo Wuji hadn't succeeded in purifying any Immortal Spirit Herb after that. In other words, Mo Wuji started to fail continuously after succeeding for a while.
But Mo Wuji continued to purify the Immortal Spirit Herbs here recklessly.
Only Mo Wuji himself knew that he failed every time when the essence of the medicinal herbs was close to one hundred percent. If he didn't want the essence of the medicinal herbs to reach one hundred percent, he would never fail once.
"Bang!" Another medicinal herb purification failed, and a burnt smell spread out.
With the sound of one medicinal herb purification failure after another, everyone in the hall was frightened every time they heard the sound.
Purifying medicinal herbs here did allow for a certain failure rate. But it definitely couldn't be like Mo Wuji, failing over a hundred times in a row.
A young alchemist a little further away was even considering whether to remind Mo Wuji, but fortunately, Mo Wuji stopped refining in time.
Mo Wuji didn't plan to try again. A hundred or so low-level Immortal Spirit Herbs were nothing to Hundred Flowers Manor.
"It seems my alchemy level is still a bit lacking." Mo Wuji stood up and said awkwardly to the other alchemists.
"Mo Wuji, come out with me for a moment." Deacon Wei's voice rang out at the door just in time.
Mo Wuji was already planning to leave. Since Deacon Wei called him, he naturally walked out of the alchemy hall without hesitation.
Seeing Mo Wuji leave, the other alchemists in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
"I reckon Steward He won't let him off. He's really a newborn calf." An alchemist sighed as he watched Mo Wuji leave the hall.
……
"Deacon Wei, you're looking for me? Have I been fired?" Mo Wuji smiled and cupped his fists at Steward He. He was just about to get fired. That Steward He wanted to kill him, so he definitely wouldn't let him pay compensation in Immortal Crystals. At most, he would just follow him out.
After asking this question, Mo Wuji felt that something was wrong. The divine sense mark he had placed on Steward He wasn't inside Hundred Flowers Manor. Soon, Mo Wuji caught his divine sense mark. Steward He had left Hundred Flowers Manor. It seemed that this guy was lucky and saved his life.
Deacon Wei grinned and patted Mo Wuji on the shoulder, "It's not me looking for you, it's the Manor Lord. When the Manor Lord asks you questions later, you must answer truthfully, keep your eyes on your toes and don't look up casually, understand?"
The Manor Lord was looking for him? That beautiful woman? Didn't she say she was overthinking things before? Why did she suddenly want to see him? Mo Wuji suddenly thought of Steward He who had just left. He had a slight inkling in his heart. Could it be that the Manor Lord only looked for him after Steward He left?
In any case, this was his chance.
Thinking of this, Mo Wuji said happily, "Deacon Wei, thank you so much. Don't worry, I definitely won't make the Manor Lord angry. Oh, right, why didn't I see Steward He?"
"Steward He went out to handle matters for the Manor Lord. As long as you do as Steward He instructed, Steward He won't blame you." After Deacon Wei finished speaking, he pointed to the main entrance not far away, "You can go in through that door, the Manor Lord is waiting for you inside."
Mo Wuji thanked Deacon Wei again before heading towards the main entrance.
Just as he reached the door, he heard the Manor Lord's clear voice from inside, "Is that Alchemist Mo? Please come in."
As soon as Mo Wuji walked in, he saw the beautiful Manor Lord sitting in the middle of the living room looking at him. Beside the Manor Lord stood a young girl in a blue dress.
Seeing Mo Wuji come in, the beautiful Manor Lord quickly stood up, "Alchemist Mo has arrived, please sit. Ding Ding, quickly pour tea for Alchemist Mo."
Mo Wuji was a bit puzzled. He was just a gardener in Hundred Flowers Manor, yet this beautiful Manor Lord seemed to be too polite to him. Even if it was because of his refining of medicinal herbs, he had only refined one portion of level one Immortal Spirit Herbs before, and the purity was only barely over ninety percent. The only explanation was that this woman really believed his words, that he could refine level three Immortal Spirit Herbs, and the purity could even be higher.
Ding Ding quickly brought Mo Wuji a cup of spiritual tea. Mo Wuji didn't drink it, but just sensed the aura of the tea and knew that it was a type of Immortal Spiritual Tea extracted from Immortal Spirit Herbs.
"Alchemist Mo, please have some tea." The beautiful Manor Lord said softly.
"Thank you." Mo Wuji also really wanted to taste the taste of the tea. After thanking her, he picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
The beautiful Manor Lord stared blankly at Mo Wuji. She had never seen anyone drink tea like this before. This kind of Immortal Spiritual Herb wasn't much in the Immortal Realm, but it was considered a high-quality product for ordinary Immortals. To actually drink it like this was simply…
Pure and rich Immortal Spiritual energy directly filled Mo Wuji's entire body's meridians. At this moment, even without cultivating, he could feel his cultivation level rising rapidly.
What good stuff, to actually have such good tea. If this place wasn't too unsuitable for cultivation, Mo Wuji would even want to sit down and start cultivating immediately. Fortunately, even without cultivating, Mo Wuji's Reverse Cultivation Method wouldn't stop improving Mo Wuji's strength.
In less than half an incense stick of time, his strength had advanced to the mid-stage of Earth Immortal Level 12.
Mo Wuji then let out a breath and cupped his fists at the Manor Lord, who had been waiting for a long time, and said, "Because I came from a small place, I haven't seen the world. I finally drank a cup of good tea, and made the Manor Lord wait longer."
He wouldn't be embarrassed. As for ruining the atmosphere, he had directly thrown it aside. This kind of tea should naturally be drunk in one gulp to have a greater effect. Sipping it in small sips would waste at least half of the Immortal Spiritual power.
The Manor Lord smiled slightly when she heard Mo Wuji's words, and still said gently, "Alchemist Mo is too polite. My name is Han Qingru, Alchemist Mo can just call me by my name."
"I wonder what matters Manor Lord Han has for me?" Mo Wuji naturally wouldn't really call the other party by their name. Han Qingru said these words to build rapport.
He was thinking in his heart whether he should use some pills to assist his cultivation in the future, because he was cultivating the cultivation method he created himself, and he also had many meridians reversing their cycles at the same time. When cultivating, he didn't need pills, as long as he had spiritual energy resources, his progress would be very fast. Now that he had drunk a cup of spiritual tea, he knew that if he used low-grade Immortal Crystals and pills to assist him at the same time, his cultivation speed would be even faster.
"Can Alchemist Mo really purify level three Immortal Spirit Herbs to over 90% essence?" Han Qingru asked.
Mo Wuji thought that the other party would beat around the bush for a long time before returning to this question. Now that Han Qingru asked so directly, Mo Wuji actually had more goodwill towards her. Since everyone knew why they were sitting together, it was better to be more straightforward.
"I can." Mo Wuji said with certainty.
"Can it be improved even further? Or rather, what is the highest purity essence you can achieve when purifying level three Immortal Spirit Herbs?"
Mo Wuji pondered without speaking. He didn't know what conditions Han Qingru could give him. If there were no conditions, then he could only reach 90%.
Han Qingru clearly understood Mo Wuji's meaning, "Friend Mo, you should be at the Perfected Earth Immortal Stage, and only one step away from entering the Heavenly Immortal Stage, right? If you can guarantee that the essence purity of the level three Immortal Spirit Herbs you purify can exceed 90%, no, as long as it can reach 90%, I won't treat you unfairly. Whether you want Immortal Spirit Herbs or Immortal Crystals, I can help you get some."
"I wonder if Immortal Grasp Stones can be obtained?" Mo Wuji asked quickly.
Han Qingru frowned slightly when she heard Mo Wuji's words, and said after a while, "Friend Mo, I know you are about to advance to the Heavenly Immortal Stage and want Immortal Grasp Stones to condense your Immortal Grasp. It's just that Immortal Grasp Stones are extremely difficult to obtain now. I heard that the Semi-Immortal Domain collapsed, and the price of Immortal Grasp Stones has doubled. If you must have Immortal Grasp Stones, I can help you get a few."
Hearing these words, Mo Wuji was already certain that the black stone was an Immortal Grasp Stone.
"Manor Lord, Steward He is back." Deacon Wei's voice came from outside the door.
