Seeing Mo Yang's almost idiotic grin, Mu Yun was utterly speechless. Explaining things to these little ones was just too difficult.
Meanwhile, Miao Xianyu shook her head with a wry smile.
She had initially thought Mu Yun would offer some good solution, but instead…
a Wind Wolf's demon core?
A first-tier demon beast's demon core wasn't pure in nature, and it lacked any spirituality. It couldn't possibly combine the medicinal properties of the three types of pills—Hundred Flavors Spirit Mushroom—in refining a third-grade Spirit Gathering Pill!
It seemed she had been thoroughly annoyed by her grandfather's nagging these past few days, resorting to desperate measures, even hoping to get an answer from Mu Yun, this infamously useless mentor.
It was truly laughable.
"Oh? So, according to this mentor, relying solely on the Wind Wolf's demon core can compensate for what the Broken Wind Azure Wolf cannot do, thereby increasing the Spirit Gathering Pill's potency and success rate?"
"Of course not!"
Mu Yun replied almost instinctively.
Just as he finished speaking, the classroom door opened, and two figures walked in from outside.
The leader, dressed in a grey robe, with gray hair and a beard, appeared to be in his seventies or eighties, yet was remarkably spry.
Behind him stood a middle-aged man, slightly bowing, looking humbly at the elderly man before him, barely daring to breathe.
"Dean!"
Mu Yun was taken aback upon seeing the somewhat nervous middle-aged man behind him.
He hadn't expected the dean to come and inspect the classrooms today, and who was this old fellow?
However, in Mu Yun's memory, it seemed impossible for anyone in the entire Northern Cloud City to make the dean of Northern Cloud Academy so nervous.
"Oh? Then what should we do?"
Hearing Mu Yun's resolute answer, the gray-robed elder became interested and chuckled, "As everyone knows, the Wind Wolf is only a first-tier demon beast, its level is too low, and its demon core is impure. If used to refine pills, there would be too many impurities. Moreover, given the level of the Wind Wolf's demon core, it seems impossible to neutralize the medicinal properties of the three herbs: Hundred-Flavor Lingzhi, Iron Coral, and Poor Root Grass!"
"It's impossible, but, by adding one more herb, it will work!"
"What herb?"
"Purple Jade Fruit!"
Purple Jade Fruit?
Hearing Mu Yun's answer, the students in the classroom were stunned again.
They were stunned not because the Purple Jade Fruit was precious, but because it was so common, so very common
, practically worthless than the Wind Wolf's demon core, because it could be found everywhere in the mountains of the entire Southern Cloud Empire.
It could be said that the Purple Jade Fruit was a common commodity, and no one even sold it in the market.
Because it was not worth buying or selling, who would care about something so readily available!
"Purple Jade Fruit..."
However, upon hearing Mu Yun's words, the gray-robed elder frowned and fell silent.
"The Purple Jade Fruit, though lacking spirituality, does possess an effect: it can gather and disperse energy. The Wind Wolf demon core has low spirituality, so gathering it can indeed enhance its spirituality, making it a viable substitute for the Wind-Breaking Azure Wolf's demon core, but..."
"Not only that!"
Mu Yun, seeing the gray-robed elder's thoughtful expression, continued, "The Purple Jade Fruit also has another effect: it can condense blood. Not only can it condense blood, but it can also enhance its own effects while condensing blood."
"Moreover, and most importantly, the Purple Jade Fruit can simultaneously absorb the spirituality of three medicinal herbs—Hundred Flavors Spirit Mushroom—making it its own, and then circulating it back to feed back to the three herbs!"
As Mu Yun spoke, the gray-robed elder's eyes gradually brightened...
That's right!
The Purple Jade Fruit does indeed have this effect, but no one would have imagined using the demon core of a low-level spirit beast like a Wind Wolf to replace the Wind-Breaking Azure Wolf's demon core.
Then no one would have thought that such a substitution could use the Purple Jade Fruit to compensate for the Wind Wolf's lack of spirituality.
This was because the Wind Wolf's demon core and the Purple Jade Fruit were so ordinary that no one dared to imagine using these two medicinal ingredients to refine a third-grade pill.
Moreover, the Purple Jade Fruit could also serve as a transfer station, connecting the preceding and following steps—a point no one would have considered.
Brilliant!
Thinking carefully about what Mu Yun said, Mo Wen suddenly felt that this idea was novel, daring, and actually seemed to have a high probability of being realized!
Even the legendary Medicine Saint of yesteryear hadn't thought of this method; this young man's thinking was quite unique!
"This old man is Mo Wen. May I ask your name, young brother?" Thinking of this, Mo Wen straightened his clothes and asked respectfully.
"Mu Yun!"
Mu Yun replied casually.
However, Mu Yun didn't take Mo Wen's simple self-introduction to heart, but it sent a chill down Lu Xiaotian's spine behind him.
The thirty or forty students in the class were even more dumbfounded, constantly rubbing their eyes and craning their necks, staring intently at the old man before them. Seeing Mo Yang's almost idiotic grin, Mu Yun was utterly speechless. Explaining things to these little ones was just too difficult.
Meanwhile, Miao Xianyu also shook her head with a wry smile.
She had initially thought Mu Yun would offer some good solution, but unexpectedly…
a Wind Wolf's demon core?
A first-tier demon beast's demon core wasn't pure in nature, and it lacked any spirituality. Refining a third-grade Spirit Gathering Pill wouldn't be able to combine the medicinal properties of the three ingredients in the Hundred Flavors Spirit Mushroom pill!
