When Mo Wuji finished the purification and began to fuse the medicinal liquids, Yin Qianqian became even more certain that Mo Wuji's purification skills were no worse than hers. The purity of the purified medicinal herbs could definitely reach around 85%.

Mo Wuji was just a Grade 1 Mortal Pill Refiner, yet he could purify spiritual herbs to 85% purity. This potential was definitely enough for him to become an Earth Pill Refiner.

Thinking about Mo Wuji's cultivation aptitude, Yin Qianqian sighed powerlessly once again. Mo Wuji was destined to waste his talent, because no Earth Pill Refiner had ever achieved success solely based on their refining talent. Cultivation aptitude was equally important. This was also why Pill Refiners were so rare.

Perhaps it was psychological, but after hearing Yin Qianqian's words, Mo Wuji found that this furnace of Clear Toxin Pills was proceeding extremely smoothly. Seeing that the medicinal properties were about to fuse, there were still no problems.

Several minutes later, the medicinal properties had fused completely. Mo Wuji secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Among the dozens of furnaces of pills he had failed to refine before, none had even reached the stage of condensing pills. Now that his medicinal properties had fused, the next step was to begin condensing the pills.

As his Yuan Qi combined with his hand seals fell on the purified and fused spiritual herbs inside the pill furnace, Mo Wuji didn't even have time to start condensing the pills when he heard a "bang" from the spiritual herbs for no reason, followed by the smell of burnt material.

Disappointed, Mo Wuji stopped trying to condense the pills and looked at Yin Qianqian.

Perhaps he could summarize the problem through constant failure. But now, without anyone to guide him, he didn't know what the problem was.

Yin Qianqian sighed secretly, looked at Mo Wuji, and asked, "Do you really want to know what the problem is with your failure to refine Grade 2 Mortal Pills?"

Mo Wuji nodded without speaking, but thought to himself, "Isn't that obvious?"

"You are the most talented Pill Refiner I have ever seen. From beginning to end, I haven't seen any problems with your refining," Yin Qianqian replied.

Before Mo Wuji could retort, Yin Qianqian continued, "Your problem is not with the refining process, but with the pill fire. Using flame stones to refine pills is already much more difficult than using ordinary flames. In addition, you are using the worst type of flame stone, a Red Flame Stone. Not only is the temperature of a Red Flame Stone the lowest, but it is also extremely unstable. Therefore, before you condense the pills, the fusion of the medicinal substances is somewhat unstable."

Mo Wuji didn't speak, but quietly listened to Yin Qianqian's explanation. He believed that Yin Qianqian would explain it to him in detail.

Sure enough, Yin Qianqian continued, "You saw the Qu Pill Refiner and Shi Pill Refiner refine Grade 3 Mortal Pills with Red Flame Stones before, but that's because the Qu Pill Refiner's refining realm is infinitely close to Grade 4 Earth Pill Refiner, and the Coagulation Meridian Pill that Shi Pill Refiner refined with your help can only be said to be barely a Grade 3 Mortal Pill.

The most important thing is that their cultivation level is far superior to yours. They can use their Yuan Qi to assist the pill fire in fusing the medicine. As for you, if I'm not mistaken, you should still be in the early stages of Meridian Opening. The lowest cultivation level I've seen for a Grade 2 Mortal Pill Refiner is in the later stages of Meridian Opening."

As expected, it was a problem with his cultivation level, Mo Wuji sighed inwardly. He had considered whether it was because his cultivation level was insufficient when he failed before. Because every time he used Yuan Qi in conjunction with hand seals to fuse the medicinal liquid, he always felt a bit inadequate.

"Does refining pills require a certain cultivation level?" Mo Wuji asked helplessly.

"Not necessarily. Some powerful Pill Refiners can still refine top-grade pills even if they seal their cultivation. But such Pill Refiners are extremely rare, and even they didn't become powerful Pill Refiners without any cultivation."

Hearing Yin Qianqian's explanation, Mo Wuji said, "It's not that I don't want to go with you, it's just that my current level is not enough to refine the Vitality Udumbara Pill."

After hesitating slightly, Yin Qianqian took out an orange stone and said, "I have an Orange Flame Stone here. Its flame temperature is one level higher than a Red Flame Stone, and it's not even weaker than ordinary earth fire. It's very likely that it will allow you to refine the Vitality Udumbara Pill. However, I only have one. I can't let you experiment with it. If you are willing to take the risk, we can go now. And you have to remember that once you alarm the Life Devouring Beast, you will only have one chance to refine the pills."

After saying that, Yin Qianqian was afraid that Mo Wuji would disagree, so she continued, "If there are any technique skills, I will let you choose first. If there are no technique skills, I promise to give you a technique skill if we survive."

"Okay, I'll go with you." Yin Qianqian had guaranteed that he could obtain a technique skill, so what was there for him to hesitate about? He could cultivate now, and as long as he had a technique skill, he would at least have a chance to fight back if something happened.

A hint of admiration appeared in Yin Qianqian's eyes. "Junior Brother Mo has indeed not disappointed me. I'll lead the way. Let's go now."

……

Half an hour later, Yin Qianqian stopped on the periphery of a canyon.

"Could it be here?" Mo Wuji looked at Yin Qianqian with doubt, carrying a large pill furnace on his back. This canyon was full of lush greenery. All kinds of spiritual herbs were even more precious than the place where he had dug out his cave dwelling for cultivation and refining pills. The spiritual Qi was also incredibly dense.

Yin Qianqian nodded solemnly. "Yes, it's here. As long as we enter this canyon and walk forward for about twenty zhang, you will see the place where the Life Devouring Beast lives."

"But this place is full of life..."

Before Mo Wuji could finish speaking, Yin Qianqian interrupted him. "Do you think that the place where the Life Devouring Beast lives is a barren land where life has disappeared? Even rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows, let alone the Life Devouring Beast. If you encounter the Life Devouring Beast, then congratulations, you have found the place with the most vigorous life and the most concentrated spiritual Qi in this area. Because in any place, the Life Devouring Beast will choose the place with the strongest vitality and spiritual Qi to live in. From a certain point of view, the Life Devouring Beast is also the sovereign of an area."

After saying that, Yin Qianqian patted her waist, and a long sword inexplicably appeared in her hand. Then, she glanced at Mo Wuji and carefully walked into the canyon.

"Senior Sister Yin, is it because the Life Devouring Beast can find the place with the most vigorous life and spiritual Qi in an area that so many people want to capture it?" Mo Wuji asked in a low voice, following behind Yin Qianqian.

Yin Qianqian focused her attention completely, advancing while answering Mo Wuji's words. "That's just a small reason. The Life Devouring Beast also has a more important function, which is that its body contains supreme vitality. This vitality contains too many cultivation principles, which can allow people to advance easily. For example, I am now at the Perfection of Mortal Shedding. As long as I can obtain the Life Devouring Beast, I will definitely be able to enter the Yuan Dan Realm and become a cultivator of the Earth Realm."

"I would like to congratulate Senior Sister Yin in advance for being able to capture the Life Devouring Beast, advance to the Yuan Dan Realm, and become a powerhouse of the Earth Realm. By the way, Senior Sister, what is that small bag on your waist? A sword appeared with just a pat?" Mo Wuji only needed a cultivation technique skill. He had no use for something like the Life Devouring Beast.

Instead, he had long wanted to ask about the small bag on Yin Qianqian's waist.

"That's a storage bag, which can store larger items. This kind of storage treasure is extremely rare. This storage bag of mine was given to me by my master," Yin Qianqian said as she moved forward quickly.

A storage bag? Mo Wuji suddenly felt an intense desire to possess such a treasure. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for him to go anywhere. He couldn't possibly carry his refining equipment with him wherever he went. Although his refining equipment was relatively small, it still weighed several tens of kilograms.

"Almost there..." Yin Qianqian's words interrupted Mo Wuji's wild thoughts.

Mo Wuji looked up and saw a patch of green vines. Behind the vines was a faint cave.

"The Life Devouring Beast must still be sleeping. You start refining pills now. Once you refine pills, the Life Devouring Beast will be awakened immediately. I'll help you block the outflow of vitality. Everything depends on you..."

Before Yin Qianqian could finish speaking, a terrifying suction force came, and Mo Wuji felt a burst of weakness all over his body, as if his life and soul were about to be drawn away.

(Today's second update was scheduled for 20:40, and then I opened the book review section just now and found that it hadn't been updated yet. I realized that there was a problem with the scheduled update. It's not my problem, but the starting point backend had a problem. I apologize here. In the future, I will check it in time after scheduling it. Thank you to the friends in the book review section for reminding me. That's all for today's update, good night friends!)
