The purpose of challenging Mo Xiu was very simple. It was not to think that their alchemy level was higher than that of Mo Xiu, but to follow the process to have a mutual guidance link after the discussion. They hoped to get Mo Xiu's guidance.
Even Li Zongbai was eager to try, let alone other alchemists or pharmacists.
However, Li Zongbai was sensible and knew that this might make Mo Xiu unhappy, so he didn't participate in it.
It stood to reason that as long as someone challenged Mo Xiu in this Pill Meeting, Mo Xiu must accept the challenge.
However, Mo Xiu always did whatever he wanted, so how could he care about the rules of this meeting?
Feeling everyone's gaze, Mo Xiu remained unmoved as he said flatly, "You are not qualified to challenge me."
Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar.
Many people looked at the person from the Alchemy League who presided over the meeting and wanted to ask the person from the Alchemy League for an explanation.
The Alchemy League member was a little embarrassed suddenly.
In the past, anyone who dared to ignore the rules set by the Alchemy League would have been slapped to death by him.
But he had received the news that even Li Xuanzong and others couldn't do anything to Mo Xiu. In that case, how could he be Mo Xiu's opponent?
"Cough..."
He coughed slightly, and explained, "Medicine Great Master Wuji is a distinguished guest of our Alchemy League. He can choose to not accept the challenge."
This explanation seemed reasonable, but everyone still heard something wrong.
Even if Mo Xiu was proficient in alchemy, pharmacy, and medical skills, he was not a member of the Alchemy League after all.
When did Alchemy League put outsiders in its eyes? When did an outsider become a distinguished guest of the Alchemy League?
Was it possible that Mo Xiu was about to join the Alchemy League? Or was it that Mo Xiu had reached the point where even Alchemy League had to deal with him carefully?
In any case, the rules were made by the people of the Alchemy League, and the people of the Alchemy League could do what they say. Mo Xiu could ignore the rules of the Alchemy League, but they couldn't do it.
Unable to challenge Mo Xiu, and unable to get Mo Xiu's guidance, this made everyone somewhat disappointed.
However, more people chose to shift their targets and challenge others, especially Li Zongbai, so Li Zongbai suddenly became busy.
Even if there was no Mo Xiu, there would be many people who would challenge Li Zongbai in this session. After all, Li Zongbai still had the title of Great Master Alchemist, whose level of alchemy was much higher than other alchemists participating in the conference, and it was not bad to get Li Zongbai's guidance.
There were more pharmacists participating in the conference than alchemists. Regarding the research on medicine, Mo Xiu must be the most advanced, but Mo Xiu obviously did not accept any challenge, so everyone could only challenge other pharmacists or alchemists.
Regarding the discussion between the pharmacist and the pharmacist and the discussion between the alchemist and the alchemist, everything was okay. But the discussion between the pharmacist and the alchemist was not so easy. You could never let the pharmacist refine the pill or let the alchemist make medicine.
The rule of the Alchemy League was that the pharmacist made medicine and the alchemist refined the pill. The result of the discussion was judged according to the effect of the medicine and the effect of the pill.
As for the mutual guidance after the discussion, the problem was not big, and the shortcomings were pointed out. If there were no shortcomings or the shortcomings could not be seen, then don't give random pointers.
After Li Zongbai accepted everyone's challenge, he began to compete with others in turn.
It might be that Li Zongbai's process of alchemy under the guidance of Mo Xiu had fewer flaws, so he had a more thorough grasp of the alchemy technique he had learned.
At the beginning of the competition in this session, Li Zongbai could only refine seven pills, but after the third time, Li Zongbai was able to refine a furnace of eight pills.
It was still a little difficult to refine a furnace of nine pills, but in the next few trials, Li Zongbai was able to maintain the number of pills, in other words, eight pills.
As for the quality of the pill, Li Zongbai's naturally could not be like Mo Xiu's, but the quality of pills he refined were better than before.
Everyone was aware of Li Zongbai's changes and was envious for a while. They didn't expect to let Mo Xiu give pointers, and the level of alchemy would be so markedly improved.
If it hadn't been for Mo Xiu's body that had been exuding an icy breath that turned away thousands of miles away, I they would all have to rush to find Mo Xiu and ask him to be their master already.
It was naturally impossible for Mo Xiu to accept them as apprentices. Looking for Mo Xiu to apprentice was just a disappointing matter. They could only sigh with Li Zongbai's luck that he could climb to Mo Xiu and get Mo Xiu's guidance.
Li Zongbai also felt that his luck was very good, but it didn't matter to him, he really cared about the improvement of his alchemy level.
He had admired Mo Xiu before, and now he admired him even more. He didn't say anything, but in his heart, he already regarded Mo Xiu as his master without authorization.
...
When it was getting dark, the third session of the Pill Meeting finally ended.
Regardless of the alchemist or pharmacist who participated in the meeting, most of them were rewarded.
On another side, the outsiders who spontaneously came to participate in the conference did not gain much but at least watching the discussions between the alchemists and the pharmacists was a feast for the eyes.
For the outsiders, the only pity was that they could not see Mo Xiu refining the pill in person, and could only listen to the word of mouth from the alchemists or pharmacists who participated in the first session of the meeting.
After the three sessions, the Alchemy League would issue rewards based on the active status of the invited alchemist or pharmacist.
There were a total of five prizes, selected first, first-served according to the ranking.
Li Zongbai was not the most active in the first session, but in the second and third session, he was not only the most active but also the only focus of the audience except Mo Xiu.
Under this circumstance, Li Zongbai naturally won first place in activity easily and was given the opportunity to preferentially select rewards.
Because it had been said beforehand and there was nothing to choose from, Li Zongbai directly took the Nine Turns Resurrection Grass and handed it to Mo Xiu.
The Nine Turns Resurrection Grass was not like an ordinary spiritual grass, but a bit like a small sapling.
Its rhizomes, including leaves, were gray, but the surface was filled with aura, and it seemed to be affected by some force. The surface of the aura was not invisible and colorless, but a faint golden yellow.
Mo Xiu checked it a little and saw that there was nothing wrong with the Nine Turns Resurrection Grass, so he sealed it up with a seal and put it away carefully.
After that, he did not wait for the people of the Alchemy League to announce the end of the Pill Meeting, and turned and left the venue.
"Master Wuji!" Li Zongbai quickly chased after him.
Mo Xiu stopped, looked back at Li Zongbai, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Zongbai wanted to ask if he could go to Mo Xiu for advice, but he didn't think it was appropriate, so he turned into, "Treasure Pill Pavilion welcomes Master Wuji at any time."
Treasure Pill Pavilion is the pill pavilion opened by Li Zongbai. It was the most famous and most popular pill pavilion in Yan Capital.
Of course, Mo Xiu could hear Li Zongbai's words.
He was noncommittal, waved his hand, walked away, and quickly disappeared into the night.
...
Soon after the end of the Pill Meeting, a piece of astonishing news spread in Yan Capital at the speed of a wildfire burning a mountain: the elder of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, who had the title of Medicine Great Master and the title of Divine Physician and was proficient in alchemy, Lin Wuji, his true identity was Mo Xiu of the Mo Family of Sun Martial City.
Upon learning the news, the whole Yan Capital was in an uproar, whether cultivators or ordinary people, they all talked for a while.
"Mo Xiu has offended Yan Wuji a long time ago. He doesn't obediently stay in Sun Martial City, did he come here to die?"
"Come here to die? This is not necessarily the case. He even dared to kill the disciples of the Seraphic Sword Sect, will he still be afraid of Yan Wuji?"
"Learning that Mo Xiu became Lin Wuji and sneaked into Yan Capital to kill him, I don't know what Yan Wuji would feel."
"I haven't heard from Yan Wuji for a long time. Could it be that he is not in Yan Capital recently? But knowing that Lin Wuji is Mo Xiu, he should come back to deal with Mo Xiu soon, right?"
"It seems that Yan Capital will soon have another bloody storm."
...
It was true that Yan Wuji had not been in Yan Capital for a while, but when the news spread, he happened to return to Yan Capital and returned to the palace without almost everyone outside knowing.
After returning to the palace, Yan Wuji went to the attic occupied by the disciples of the Seraphic Sword Sect and found Chen Xiaoyang.
"Look at the news," Chen Xiaoyang handed a note to Yan Wuji.
Yan Wuji took it and took a look. After learning that Lin Wuji was Mo Xiu, his face became a little ugly, his fists creaked, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What a cunning Mo Xiu, he is deceiving too much!"
Chen Xiaoyang glanced at Yan Wuji and asked, "What are you going to do? I have reported the news to the sect. It is estimated that the sect will send a master to punish this guy soon."
"You don't have to wait for the expert of the sect to come," Yan Wuji raised his hand and said, "Mo Xiu killed my son and slaughtered my soldiers. The sin he carries on his back is like the sea. Since I am back, I must personally kill this devil!"
"You have to think thrice about it, his strength may be much stronger than you think. Even if it is me, I dare not say that I can take him down," Chen Xiaoyang reminded.
"Don't worry, I have my own measures," Yan Wuji said confidently, "this time I go out, I have gained more than you think. Besides, with just a beaming clown Mo Xiu here, if I have to wait for the experts of the sect to come and solve it, how can I control this huge Yan Kingdom?"
There was a hint of approval in Chen Xiaoyang's eyes, and he stood up and patted Yan Wuji's shoulder, encouraging, "Since you are confident, I won't say anything more, and I will help you at the critical moment."
