Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 123 The Alchemist with the Greatest Contribution
"Pill Master Mu!"
"Senior Sister Mu..."
……
As soon as this woman walked in, many pill masters stepped aside and greeted her, their voices filled with respect and admiration.
Even Zhang Ding clasped his fists and called out "Senior Sister Mu."
Mo Wuji quickly stood aside, his heart pounding. This Pill Master Mu should be Mu Ying, whom Zhang Ding had just mentioned. What excited Mo Wuji was that this Pill Master came from the Wen Tian Academy. Not only from the Wen Tian Academy, but also from the Wen Tian Academy's Pill Tower.
If he could get to know this Pill Master Mu, wouldn't it be easier to approach Granny Linglong? Thinking of this, Mo Wuji couldn't wait to rush up, grab Mu Ying's hand, and beg her to become his friend, then go on a small date.
This was just wishful thinking. If he really did that, he might never have the opportunity to see Mu Ying again, or even participate in the Five Elements Wasteland Pill Competition.
"Senior Sister Mu, although your master is not Granny Linglong, you were able to create the Meridian Restoration Pill. Not only are you an example for us pill masters, but you have also benefited many cultivators with damaged spiritual meridians. Of course, I'm talking about the younger generation." Although Zhang Ding didn't directly refute Mu Ying's words, his words raised a question.
Mu Ying said calmly, "The senior pill masters of the Wen Tian Academy's Pill Tower each have their own strengths. Granny Linglong is certainly one of the top outstanding pill masters in our Pill Tower, but my master is also one of the top outstanding pill masters in our Pill Tower..."
Hearing this, Mo Wuji's heart sank. From Mu Ying's tone, he could hear that she seemed to have some opinions about Granny Linglong. Otherwise, being from the same Pill Tower, she wouldn't have said that.
Zhang Ding said awkwardly, "Of course, every senior pill master in the Pill Tower is someone I respect the most. My goal is to be able to enter the Wen Tian Academy's Pill Tower like Senior Sister. If we are talking about the younger generation, then of course it is Mu..."
This time, Mu Ying didn't even wait for Zhang Ding to finish speaking before interrupting him, "Pill Master Zhang, you are wrong again. Among the younger generation of pill masters, the one who has made the greatest contribution is neither you nor me, nor any of the pill master colleagues present..."
Many pill masters were stunned to hear Mu Ying's words. It could be said that the most outstanding young pill masters of the Lost Continent were basically all here. Could there be a young pill master they didn't know about? This young pill master was even more powerful than Mu Ying and Zhang Ding? This was too outrageous, right?
"May I know who this pill master is?" Zhang Ding couldn't help but ask.
Mu Ying's gaze swept across everyone before she said calmly, "This person is just an alchemist from a mortal world. After his family fell into decline, he couldn't even afford to eat. But even so, he concocted a healing potion called Nine Lives Healing Potion, which he later named Penicillin. This healing potion can prevent wound inflammation and has saved countless ordinary civilians and hundreds of millions of injured soldiers on the Lost Continent. To commemorate this alchemist, these saved soldiers and civilians named this potion Mo's Potion. If you want to talk about the alchemist who has made the greatest contribution to the Lost Continent, I think it is him."
Zhang Ding was speechless. If it weren't because the other party was Mu Ying, he would have already left in a huff. Even so, he still retorted, "Senior Sister Mu, it's just a potion concocted by an alchemist. Even something concocted by a Grade One Human Pill Master would be stronger than that, right? What merits does he have to dare to bear the name of the pill master who has made the greatest contribution? Moreover, he is just an alchemist."
Many people agreed with Zhang Ding's words. Like Zhang Ding, if the person who made this point wasn't Mu Ying, they would have retorted as well.
Mu Ying shook her head and said in a deep voice, "This Alchemist Mo's Mo's Potion only costs a few copper coins to buy a bottle. Tell me, is there any pill that can be bought for a few copper coins? Not to mention a few copper coins, what kind of pill can be bought for a few gold coins? Even if we make a hypothetical assumption that there is a pill that can be bought for a few copper coins, tell me, how many pill masters would it take to concoct so many pills to help millions of injured people?"
Speaking of this, Mu Ying was too excited. She took a deep breath before saying again, "After developing Mo's Potion, this alchemist did not use this potion to make money, but instead contributed it selflessly. If it weren't for him, how many innocent lives would die every day? How many people have his kind of open-mindedness and generosity, or his kind of dedication?"
"Perhaps you are cultivators and disdain the lives of ordinary mortals. But I want to ask everyone, weren't you mortals before you cultivated? Did you become cultivators by popping out of rocks? Aren't your parents and sisters mortals? Without countless mortal cornerstones, where would cultivators come from?"
"Moreover, we are just cultivators. Our lifespans are a little longer than mortals, but we will eventually return to dust like mortals. In other words, we are just mortals who live a little longer. In that case, what qualifications do we have to look down on mortals?"
After this speech, even Mo Wuji couldn't help but want to applaud and cheer. This Mu Ying's character was real and unpretentious, which he admired. However, he was not as noble as Mu Ying said. The reason he handed over penicillin was to save his life. What he didn't expect was that after he left, those who benefited from penicillin named it Mo's Potion, which made Mo Wuji very ashamed.
At the same time, he was also very glad that he took out penicillin. Many of those who remember other people's kindness are ordinary people.
Mu Ying's words caused everyone to fall silent. Those who could stand here were all high and mighty cultivators, and even the best pill masters among cultivators. But it was undeniable that Mu Ying was right. Before they cultivated, they were just mortals. After they cultivated, their families still had mortals.
Mu Ying glanced at all the pill masters and suddenly clasped her fists in the void, "I want to thank Pill Master Mo for the billions of ordinary mortals."
"Senior Sister Mu is right, we all came from ordinary mortals. Now, let's welcome Senior Sister Mu to tell us how she created the Meridian Restoration Pill." Zhang Ding quickly returned to his normal expression and was the first to applaud.
Mo Wuji felt that this Zhang Ding was somewhat hypocritical. He obviously didn't agree with Mu Ying's words, but Mu Ying's status was higher than his.
Mu Ying waved her hand, "In the Way of Pill, I have only just started and am not much more proficient than you all. Since this is a pill master exchange meeting, let's discuss it together. Also, I came here today to exchange for a few spiritual herbs."
A middle-aged pill master immediately echoed, "Senior Sister Mu is right, exchanging spiritual herbs is originally one of the main purposes of our pill master exchange meeting. Why don't we start now? I'll start. I have Grade Three spiritual herbs Earth Cloud Silk and Shooting Star..."
With this middle-aged pill master taking the lead, many pill masters took out their own spiritual herbs. At the same time, they held up signs with the spiritual herbs they needed. In a short period of time, this pill master exchange meeting turned into a medicinal material exchange meeting.
Mo Wuji was standing to the side of Zhang Ding and happened to see a hint of dissatisfaction flash in Zhang Ding's eyes. However, this look flashed by and he returned to a smiling expression. Then, he also took out the spiritual herbs he wanted to exchange.
This person had a very strong talent for the Way of Pill, but he was also very jealous. Seeing that Mu Ying had stolen his limelight as soon as she arrived, he must be unhappy.
Mo Wuji decided to keep a close eye on Mu Ying. Once Mu Ying left, he would follow her.
Now that everyone was exchanging spiritual herbs, he would naturally not give up this opportunity. Only in this kind of situation could he exchange for those top-grade spiritual herbs.
He needed many top-grade spiritual herbs: over 100,000-year-old pine tree meridians, fire crystals with higher purity, preferably 10,000-year-old spiritual ginseng and dark yellow ginseng, and dragon saliva grass that was over 1,000 years old...
In fact, Mo Wuji knew that he could not afford to buy these spiritual herbs. Many spiritual herbs that were over 10,000 years old were close to Grade Four spiritual herbs. Fortunately, the dark yellow ginseng and spiritual ginseng that he wanted were ordinary things. Even if they were 10,000 years old, they should only be hovering on the edge of Grade Three spiritual herbs. As for the 100,000-year-old pine tree meridians, although they were considered Grade Four spiritual herbs, they were not too precious.
Even if he calculated it this way, his spirit stones were far from enough. He still had two sections of Treasure Blood Lotus Root on him. This was his confidence to exchange for spiritual herbs.
As for why he wanted to acquire these spiritual herbs, Mo Wuji had a hunch. His new meridian opening potion was not enough to open up ninety-nine meridians. Perhaps one day, he would suddenly face a situation where the meridian opening potion would not work. By that time, he would not have such a good opportunity to acquire spiritual herbs.
Mo Wuji had just written down the things he needed and had not yet written down the Treasure Blood Lotus Root when his gaze suddenly fell on the spiritual herbs that Mu Ying needed, which included 100,000-year-old pine tree meridians and Treasure Blood Lotus Root. The difference was that she wrote 100,000-year-old Earth Pine Meridians.
"Senior Sister Mu, I have 100,000-year-old Earth Pine Meridians here. See if they work." A young pill master walked up to Mu Ying with a jade box and handed her the jade box.
Mo Wuji sighed inwardly. A person's reputation was indeed wealth. People delivered what Mu Ying needed to her hands first, without even asking about the price.
"Thank you." Mu Ying smiled sweetly and casually opened the jade box.
Mo Wuji quickly took two steps forward. He saw clearly that there were a few light yellow rootstocks in the jade box, which also emitted a faint fragrance. Mo Wuji recognized at first sight that this thing was much more advanced than his pine tree meridians.
At this time, Mo Wuji only had one thought in his mind, that this Earth Pine Meridian was far superior to the pine tree meridians he wanted before and was definitely more suitable for him to concoct the meridian opening potion.
No matter what, he had to get some of this thing.
"These are Earth Pine Meridians of extremely good quality. They are considered rare even among Grade Four spiritual herbs. These Earth Pine Meridians are just right for me. Name your price." Mu Ying's eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise, and then she closed the jade box and said.
