Everything was ready, and Mo Wuji activated the Green Flame Stone. A faint green flame instantly engulfed the bottom of the entire furnace. Mo Wuji's spiritual consciousness landed in the faint green flame, and the terrifying temperature made him feel a sense of trembling.

Mo Wuji calmed his mind and carefully placed another strand of cyan Jade Toad Purple Lotus Silk. The temperature of the furnace instantly melted the cyan Jade Toad Purple Lotus Silk into medicinal liquid, and Mo Wuji's pill refining art landed on the medicinal liquid, beginning to purify it.

From the very beginning, Mo Wuji knew he had a chance of success. The power of the Green Flame Stone lay not only in its temperature, but also in the purity and stability of the flame. This made it much easier for him to purify the medicinal liquid. When he first purified the Jade Toad Purple Lotus Silk, his pill refining art couldn't stop at all. Even so, he couldn't suppress the spiritual energy dissipation and impurity penetration of the Jade Toad Purple Lotus Silk medicinal liquid.

But now, although it was still difficult for him, he could barely control it.

After a joss stick of incense, Mo Wuji swallowed a Soul Protecting Earth Dawn Pill and continued to purify the Jade Toad Purple Lotus Silk. A full half-hour passed, and even with the help of the Soul Protecting Earth Dawn Pill, Mo Wuji was about to collapse when he finally finished purifying this strand of Jade Toad Purple Lotus Silk.

The Spirit Extraction Pill Art landed on the furnace, and several drops of the Jade Toad Purple Lotus Silk's spiritual medicine liquid were collected into a pill furnace.

Mo Wuji no longer cared about the pill poison and swallowed a handful of various recovery pills. After quickly recovering his divine mind and Yuan Power, he immediately sent the Fire Jade, which he had cut into tenths, into the furnace.

It wasn't that he didn't want to rest a little longer, but once the Green Flame Stone was activated, it couldn't be extinguished. This was 150,000 Earth-grade spirit stones; Mo Wuji couldn't bear to waste them.

Fortunately, the Green Flame Stone was very strong and lasted a long time.

Mo Wuji refined and stopped like this, and after more than three hours, the Green Flame Stone finally extinguished the flames.

For Mo Wuji, more than three hours of constantly over-consuming his divine mind and Yuan Power, though not completely exhausted, had reached an extreme. After the Green Flame Stone's flames were extinguished, Mo Wuji also collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. In more than three hours, he had purified three pieces of the divided Fire Jade and three strands of Jade Toad Purple Lotus Silk.

This almost exhausted all his recovery pills and greatly damaged his vitality. His face was pale, not much better than the first time he practiced the Heavenly Thunder Seven Strikes.

Although Mo Wuji wanted to immediately start refining the remaining medicinal materials, he was simply too tired. After putting the purified medicinal liquid into bottles, he directly fell asleep on the ground.

Since possessing his divine mind, Mo Wuji had never consumed his divine mind so much, nor had he ever consumed his Yuan Power so much. This time, in order to purify two Rank 7 spirit medicines, he had almost risked his life.

Mo Wuji didn't open his eyes until he had slept for a full day and night, and his body was still a little weak.

Mo Wuji resisted the urge to rest a little longer and began to refine Rank 4 spiritual herbs such as the Gan Yuan Ginseng and Earth Pine Vein.

As a Rank 4 Pill Refiner, refining Rank 4 spiritual herbs was rest for him.

In just one hour, Mo Wuji purified all the Rank 4 spiritual herbs and stored them in jade bottles.

After cleaning the room, Mo Wuji discovered a tiny crack in his pill furnace when cleaning it. This pill furnace was given to him by Zhen Shaoke and could barely be considered a low-grade spiritual weapon. He didn't expect it to be damaged by his refining of the medicinal liquid.

Mo Wuji didn't care about the damaged pill furnace. He put away the damaged pill furnace and cleaned himself again before taking out the medicine refining machine. Everything else was secondary; the success or failure of the medicine refining was the most important thing. Whether it succeeded or failed depended on this one move. If it failed, he probably wouldn't be able to achieve much in his life. The meridian opening liquid had been upgraded to its current level, almost to the top.

Refining medicine was more familiar to Mo Wuji than refining pills. He skillfully purified more than a dozen ordinary medicinal materials and then began to add the spiritual medicine liquid.

Even these steps, he could do perfectly with his eyes closed. Mo Wuji still kept his eyes wide open, worried about making any mistakes.

A full four hours passed, and the medicinal liquid in the medicine refining machine was finished, slowly flowing into the small bottles that Mo Wuji had prepared in advance.

Each of these small bottles was smaller than an adult's little finger.

This time, Mo Wuji refined a full twelve bottles of meridian opening liquid.

After the twelve bottles were completely filled, Mo Wuji couldn't wait to grab one of the bottles and pour the liquid into his mouth.

The long-lost familiar heat almost burned through Mo Wuji's throat. The tearing pain didn't cause Mo Wuji any torment; instead, it almost made him shed tears of happiness.

He succeeded again in one go. His judgment was not wrong at all. As his cultivation increased and more meridians were opened in his body, his requirements for the meridian opening liquid also increased.

This time's meridian opening liquid was much better than the previous two times. It could even be said that this time's meridian opening liquid was a qualitative change for Mo Wuji.

A fire-like burning directly burned out a new meridian in Mo Wuji's body.

Mo Wuji clenched his fists. To completely open this new meridian, he only needed a lightning arc.

…

It had already been seven days since Mo Wuji joined the Heaven Asking Palace, and Mo Wuji finally walked out of his house. In seven days, he had refined all the refined spiritual medicine liquid, refining a total of thirty-six bottles of meridian opening spiritual medicine.

"Senior Brother Mo, are you alright…" As soon as Mo Wuji left his courtyard, he saw a young man of medium build, looking a little simple and honest, standing outside. The young man was staring at him with a look of surprise, his eyes full of worry.

Although Mo Wuji had cleaned himself up, he still had a stubble beard, and his hair hadn't been specially groomed.

"Are you Brother Chao?" Mo Wuji hesitated for a moment before finally recognizing the simple and honest young man in front of him. It was Chao Buheng, the brother in distress who was stuck on the eighth floor of the Heaven Asking Steps with him.

Mo Wuji didn't know where Chao Buheng lived, but he knew that Chao Buheng was also in Zone D.

Seeing that Mo Wuji recognized him, Chao Buheng grinned. "Yes, I am Chao Buheng. I saw that Brother Mo hadn't come out for several days and looked a little tired, so I thought something had happened and came to see you."

Mo Wuji felt a sense of gratitude in his heart. In the Heaven Asking Palace, the only one who remembered that he hadn't come out for several days was probably Chao Buheng in front of him. Chao Buheng's cultivation was about the same as his, but he was honest and always put himself in a low position. Even Mo Wuji, who was on the eighth floor, was called Senior Brother by him.

"Senior Brother Mo, the Merit Transmission Hall has elders teaching cultivation methods today. If you want to go, why don't we go together?" Chao Buheng carefully asked.

Mo Wuji could tell from his question that Chao Buheng should not have been the first time to look for him.

"Junior Brother Chao, thank you. I want to go to the Immortal Refining Tower to try it out today. I'll go to the lessons in a while." Mo Wuji had just refined thirty-six bottles of the latest meridian opening liquid, and the most important thing now was to open up his meridians, not to go to lessons.

Chao Buheng quickly said, "Okay, then I won't disturb Senior Brother Mo."

After speaking, he quickly turned and left, as if afraid that standing for a moment longer would cause Mo Wuji displeasure.

Mo Wuji felt a sense of emotion in his heart. Chao Buheng was honest, timid, and a little inferior. In a place like the Heaven Asking Palace, it was too difficult to make a name for himself.

Then he ridiculed himself, he was worrying about Chao Buheng, maybe Chao Buheng was worrying about him.

…

Heaven Asking Palace Immortal Refining Tower.

Mo Wuji stood in front of this Immortal Refining Tower, still feeling some emotion in his heart. More than half a year ago, when he opened up his meridians in the Border Town Immortal Refining Tower, he had sighed. He didn't know when he would be able to go to the real Immortal Refining Tower and the Heaven Asking Palace Immortal Refining Tower to try it out.

He didn't expect that in less than a year, he would really be standing in front of the Heaven Asking Palace Immortal Refining Tower.

Compared to the Border Town's counterfeit Immortal Refining Tower, the Heaven Asking Palace's Immortal Refining Tower was a real treasure land for trials.

The square in front of the Immortal Refining Tower was magnificent. The aura emitted by the many passing cultivators was stronger than the other. Mo Wuji suspected that he was the one with the worst cultivation here.

There were many cultivators coming here for trials, coming and going in a continuous stream. Mo Wuji came to the Immortal Refining Office on the first floor of the Immortal Refining Tower and asked, "Excuse me, how many spirit stones does it cost to trial in the Lightning Refining Room for an hour?"

"Are you going to trial with Sect Contribution Points or with spirit stones?" The cultivator at the Immortal Refining Office was a cute female cultivator, and her voice was also extremely sweet.

Mo Wuji had just entered the sect. After entering the sect, he had been busy refining meridian opening liquid, so where would he have time to earn Contribution Points? Now that the female cultivator at the Immortal Refining Office asked, he quickly replied, "I'll trial with spirit stones."

The female cultivator smiled slightly. "Then which Lightning Refining Room do you want to trial in? There are Elementary Lightning Refining Rooms, Intermediate Lightning Refining Rooms, Advanced Lightning Refining Rooms, and Top-Level Lightning Refining Rooms."

Mo Wuji thought that he should have been in the Elementary Lightning Refining Room when he was in the Border Town Immortal Refining Tower. Now that his divine mind and strength had both increased greatly, and he had even refined Rank 7 spirit medicines, it should be no problem for him to go to the Intermediate Lightning Refining Room, right?

"I'll go to the Intermediate Lightning Refining Room." Mo Wuji chose the Intermediate Lightning Refining Room without hesitation.

The female cultivator smiled cutely. "The Intermediate Lightning Refining Room costs two hundred Earth-grade spirit stones per hour…"

Mo Wuji was stunned for a moment before asking in confusion, "So expensive?"

He couldn't help but be confused. The Lightning Refining Room Two in the Border Town should have been the Intermediate Lightning Refining Room, right? But the price was only a fraction of the price here.

The female cultivator still patiently said with a smile, "You can choose to trial with Sect Contribution Points. If you go to the Intermediate Lightning Refining Room with Sect Contribution Points, it only costs twenty Contribution Points per hour. In fact, very few people trial with spirit stones. Most people use Contribution Points."

Earn Contribution Points now? Mo Wuji naturally didn't want to delay the matter of opening his meridians any longer. He took out two thousand Earth-grade spirit stones and said, "I'll book ten hours of trial first…"

The cute female cultivator glanced at Mo Wuji in confusion. "Knowing that it's not cost-effective to cultivate with spirit stones, you still booked ten hours at once. It seems like this is a wealthy master."

"Excuse me, are there any Intermediate Ice Refining Rooms available?" Just as the female cultivator was thinking this, a melodious voice rang out beside Mo Wuji.

(The first update is here, asking for monthly ticket support!)
