Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 456 The Beautiful Manor Lord
"I see."
All the alchemists agreed with Mo Wuji's explanation. The status of a gardener was very low. Even though they were alchemists, they worked very hard here and their status was much higher than that of a gardener. A gardener's monthly salary at Hundred Flower Manor probably couldn't even afford a decent level two immortal spiritual herb, let alone use a large number of level two immortal spiritual herbs for refining.
"Fellow cultivator Mo, didn't Steward He give you the Hundred Herb Collection before you came here?" Wang Hezhen asked doubtfully.
Mo Wuji immediately remembered the Hundred Flower Collection that Steward Wei had given him. So there was a Hundred Herb Collection for refining medicine here. Steward He hadn't mentioned it, which seemed to indicate that he was very dissatisfied with him.
Actually, Mo Wuji only wanted to leave after learning how to refine low-level immortal spiritual herbs here, but he naturally wanted something like the Hundred Herb Collection. Looking at the Hundred Flower Collection, he knew that the Hundred Herb Collection was not simple.
"The Hundred Herb Collection has detailed introductions to level one to level three immortal spiritual herbs," Wang Hezhen added.
Mo Wuji quickly asked, "Brother Wang, was the Hundred Herb Collection also written by the Manor Lord?"
"Of course. A large part of the reason I came here to refine medicine was because of the Hundred Herb Collection," a slightly younger alchemist answered from a short distance away before Wang Hezhen could reply.
Obviously, after learning that Mo Wuji's identity was that of a gardener, everyone dismissed their concerns.
"Then the Manor Lord must be a high-level Pill Sovereign," Mo Wuji wasn't completely ignorant. At least he now knew what Pill Sovereign meant.
"I heard that the Manor Lord doesn't know how to concoct pills, or even refine medicine," Wang Hezhen shook his head and replied.
Mo Wuji's heart skipped a beat. If the Manor Lord didn't know how to refine medicine but could write the Hundred Flower Collection and the Hundred Herb Collection, then the only reason was that the Manor Lord had a top-tier book on immortal spiritual herbs and pills.
Thinking of this, Mo Wuji's heart immediately burned with passion. What he lacked now was experience. If he wanted to become a Pill Sovereign, he had to be familiar with various immortal spiritual herbs. If the Manor Lord of Hundred Flower Manor really had a top-tier book on immortal spiritual herbs, he would find every possible way to copy it.
Before that, he didn't know what the strength of the Manor Lord of Hundred Flower Manor was. If his strength was only Heavenly Immortal, he could exchange it with black stones. If his strength exceeded Heavenly Immortal, he would have to use other methods.
Thinking of this, Mo Wuji quickly asked again, "Brother Wang, aren't you reducing your cultivation time by refining medicine here every day?"
In fact, Mo Wuji wanted to ask what the relationship between black stones and advancing to Heavenly Immortal was, but it wasn't convenient for him to directly ask about black stones. Wen Lianxi knew that he came from the Half-Immortal Domain, but the people here didn't know, and he couldn't reveal it.
Wang Hezhen gave a wry smile and said, "I don't even have a Calamity Crossing Pill, let alone advance to Heavenly Immortal. Besides, even if I advance, so what? Can I condense an Immortal Lattice? I can't even afford one Immortal Lattice Stone. If I can't condense an Immortal Lattice, I'll be trapped in Heavenly Immortal forever, and I'll never be able to climb the Immortal Ascension Ladder and enter the real Immortal World..."
Hearing these words, it seemed that countless mysteries were being solved, and yet countless more puzzles arose.
Now he was sure that the black stone was the Immortal Lattice Stone that Wang Hezhen was talking about. No wonder it was so expensive, it was used to condense Immortal Lattices.
But what did Wang Hezhen mean by saying that one couldn't enter the real Immortal World without condensing an Immortal Lattice? Was this not the Immortal World?
Mo Wuji had a stomach full of questions to ask, but at this moment, the restriction at the entrance of the alchemy hall moved again.
Steward He and Steward Wei entered the hall first, and the two of them stood next to the restriction, followed by a young woman.
Seeing this woman enter, everyone, including Wang Hezhen, stood up and bowed at the same time, "Greetings, Manor Lord."
When this woman entered, Mo Wuji extended his Spiritual Storage Channel spiritual will. He had just arrived at Hundred Flower Manor, so he had to be cautious. Not everyone was like Wen Lianxi, who wouldn't harm others even if they didn't cooperate.
Mo Wuji also stood up after extending his spiritual will. He didn't expect the Manor Lord of Hundred Flower Manor to be such a young woman. After calling out "Manor Lord" along with the others, he secretly admired the woman's beauty.
Especially the pair of beautiful eyes under her delicate eyebrows, which were like a pool of autumn water, calm yet with a hint of imperceptible melancholy. Her fair skin was like condensed fat. Her slightly exposed neck had faint halos of skin.
She was only wearing a simple dark dress, which wouldn't add anything to any other woman. But on her, it gave the dress a touch of immortal charm. Usually, clothes enhanced a person's beauty, but in her case, the person enhanced the clothes.
He had only seen three such beautiful women: Cen Shuyin, Zhuang Xiyue of Heavenly Lake Manor, and the Manor Lord in front of him.
Moreover, the Manor Lord in front of him had an additional touch of mature charm. Judging from her hairstyle, she seemed to have been married.
Mo Wuji easily detected that this woman's cultivation was at most Heavenly Immortal.
He still had many questions about what Wang Hezhen had said earlier, but now was not the time to ask. Moreover, he now wanted to know how to get a copy of the book on immortal spiritual herbs from the Manor Lord's hands.
"Are you new here?" The beautiful woman noticed the unfamiliar Mo Wuji at first glance.
Mo Wuji quickly said, "Yes, Manor Lord."
Steward Wei quickly said from the side, "Reporting to Manor Lord, this Mo Wuji was brought by Lord Qianshan, who said he was a gardener. Later, I asked him, and he also knows how to refine medicine, so I brought him here. It's more convenient to use people from our own manor."
The woman nodded. She knew what Steward Wei meant. In fact, using a gardener to refine medicine was much more cost-effective than hiring an alchemist. More importantly, she also knew that Steward Wei couldn't find any alchemists.
"Let me see the medicine you refined," the woman said suddenly, her tone calm and emotionless.
Mo Wuji picked up the jade bottle next to him and handed it to Steward Wei, which contained an immortal yuan herb that he had refined earlier. Steward Wei sent the jade bottle to the Manor Lord.
The Manor Lord nodded, opened the lid of the jade bottle and smelled it, and then her expression changed slightly.
Mo Wuji's heart also skipped a beat. It wasn't because the Manor Lord's expression changed after receiving his medicinal liquid, but because he discovered that Steward He was incredibly audacious.
His Spiritual Storage Channel was deployed around this area, and as soon as Steward He's spiritual will extended, it was captured by his spiritual will. Although Steward He's cultivation was higher than his, the purity and depth of his spiritual will were far inferior to his. He could easily capture what Steward He was doing, but Steward He couldn't detect what he was doing.
The reason why Mo Wuji felt that Steward He was audacious was because Steward He actually dared to probe the Manor Lord with his spiritual will, and the beautiful Manor Lord seemed to know nothing about it.
When the Manor Lord's expression changed slightly, he saw Steward He frowning slightly.
"The medicinal liquid you refined is not bad, probably with a purity of 90%," the Manor Lord nodded at Mo Wuji, handing the jade bottle to Steward Wei.
After saying this, she seemed to be considering something. After a long while, she continued, "Mo Wuji, what is the highest purity you can extract from level three immortal spiritual herbs? Can you achieve something similar to this?"
If he didn't know that this beautiful Manor Lord might have a top-tier book on immortal spiritual herbs, Mo Wuji would definitely say no. Now he said without hesitation, "Reporting to Manor Lord, what you saw just now was medicinal liquid that I didn't refine successfully. If I become familiar with the flames and the environment, I should be able to extract medicinal liquid with an even higher essence purity."
"Audacious! You are just a gardener, and you occasionally refined a level one immortal spiritual herb, yet you dare to speak presumptuously about refining level three immortal spiritual herbs!" Steward He rebuked angrily.
After the rebuke, Steward He quickly said to the Manor Lord, "Manor Lord, this Mo Wuji doesn't know what's good for him. A gardener actually dares to speak presumptuously about refining level three immortal spiritual herbs."
Mo Wuji was a little stunned. Was Steward He that impressive? The Manor Lord hadn't even spoken yet, and he dared to yell loudly? If he were the Manor Lord, he would have slapped him into ashes long ago. It was just refining a level three immortal spiritual herb. If he couldn't do it, he couldn't do it. Was there a need to be so agitated?
What surprised Mo Wuji even more was that the beautiful Manor Lord just smiled slightly, "Well, I was too whimsical. What Steward He said is also true. You continue to refine medicine. Steward Wei, accompany me to the garden to take a look."
After saying this, the beautiful Manor Lord turned around again and left the alchemy hall.
Mo Wuji was a little confused. Was this Manor Lord too speechless? He looked at the other alchemists. After the Manor Lord left, several people, including Wang Hezhen, sat down and began to refine medicine as if Mo Wuji was air.
"You are just a gardener, yet you dare to speak presumptuously about refining level three immortal spiritual herbs. You have quite the nerve. If something like this happens again, I will tear apart every bone in your body," Steward He snorted coldly, staring at Mo Wuji.
If Mo Wuji didn't have something to do here, he would even grab the Heavenly Machine Staff and smash it down, turning Steward He into dust.
Treating him, Mo Wuji, as having the same good temper as that beautiful Manor Lord, Steward He was blind.
"And you few, if anyone dares to gossip, I will draw out your bones in the same way," Steward He cursed and turned to leave. Mo Wuji saw a trace of killing intent in his eyes.
After seeing this trace of killing intent, Mo Wuji didn't hesitate to place a spiritual will mark on Steward He through the Spiritual Storage Channel. Steward He actually wanted to kill him. If he still let this guy go, he would have cultivated in vain until today.
"Brother Wang, I seem to feel that Steward He is not very respectful to the Manor Lord," Mo Wuji asked immediately after Steward He left.
Wang Hezhen lowered his head and didn't answer Mo Wuji's words.
Mo Wuji knew that the other party was probably afraid of Steward He, so he didn't ask about this matter again. Instead, he continued with the previous question and asked, "Brother Wang, are Immortal Lattice Stones the same as the black stones from the Half-Immortal Domain?"
