Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven
Chapter 125: Heavenly Soul Grass

Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Heavenly Soul Grass

Hearing Master Tianyang’s words, Xu Lin, along with the Xu family’s upper echelons, exchanged glances.

Those herbs were obtained by the Xu Family almost at the cost of their entire fortune, only to hear Master Tianyang say that he wanted to take them back to the Alchemy Pavilion for concoction.

No matter how one looked at it, Xu Lin and the others felt somewhat uneasy. However, if they refused, the Xu family wouldn’t find another alchemist to refine the God Awakening Pill...

After a brief moment, Xu Lin glanced at an Elder of the Xu family beside him. This Elder, named Xu Zhengchu, was the Great Elder of the Xu family. Perceiving Xu Lin’s gaze, Xu Zhengchu nodded and then walked towards the back of the hall.

Moments later, a group of Xu family’s servants arrived, following the Great Elder. Each of these servants held a tray, and on each tray rested various herbs.

Because these herbs were hard to come by, the Xu family was afraid of accidents and thus didn’t dare to store them together, but rather kept them separately.

There were a total of over a dozen different herbs, but most were quite common. However, one stood out, a spirit grass with three leaves, seemingly shrouded in a faint sheen. It was evident at a glance that it was extraordinary, a high-level herb!

Seeing the herbs in the servants’ hands, a faint gleam flickered in Master Tianyang’s eyes, though his expression remained calm as he said, "I’ll take the herbs with me for now. I’ll give you news in a few days."

With that, Master Tianyang walked towards the most precious herb, a gleam of eagerness in his eyes, ready to seize it.

However, just as he was about to touch the herb, a hand grasped his wrist.

This sudden scene caused the people in the hall to be slightly stunned. They looked over and saw a young man in white standing there, his arrival unnoticed.

"Hmm?!"

His wrist gripped, Master Tianyang frowned slightly and turned to see the young man holding his wrist, who was looking at him serenely. Just as Tianyang was about to lose his temper, Xu Lin exclaimed, "Chan’er?!"

The young man was none other than Mo Wangchen, and standing beside him, accompanying him inside, was the Xu family’s eldest daughter, Xu Chan.

"Why have you returned?"

Xu Lin looked up and down at his daughter with slight surprise. The Xu family had been facing setbacks recently. His only solace was that his daughter’s talent was passable, having passed this year’s Yun Chu Academy assessments.

With Xu Chan’s talent, she was bound to become a Spirit Transformation Realm expert in the future. She represented the Xu family’s hope for revitalization.

"And this is...?"

After his surprise, Xu Lin’s gaze suddenly shifted to Mo Wangchen, frowning slightly as he asked Xu Chan.

"This is a senior brother from the academy..."

Xu Chan hesitated for a moment and then replied like this.

"Chan’er, why don’t you quickly tell your senior brother to release Master Tianyang’s hand?" At Xu Lin’s side, Xu Chan’s second uncle, Xu Tianming, stepped forward, his gaze on Mo Wangchen with evident displeasure.

Master Tianyang was the Pavilion Master of the Alchemy Pavilion in the city, a Second-Tier Alchemist. To have someone suddenly grab his hand might anger him, and if he refused to refine the God Awakening Pill for the Xu family because of this, it would be troublesome.

"Hehe..."

"So you’re a disciple of the Yun Chu Academy. Young friend, why did you grab my hand just now?"

Mo Wangchen withdrew his hand but still stood beside Tianyang, a gleam flashing in his eyes as if he had discovered something.

Originally intending to get angry, Tianyang’s fury dissipated after hearing Xu Chan’s words. Looking at Mo Wangchen, he smiled.

Though he was a Second-Tier Alchemist doing well in Cangbi City, the other party was, after all, a disciple from Yun Country’s Capital, Yun Chu Academy. Naturally, Tianyang was reluctant to start a conflict with such a person.

"Master Tianyang, how confident are you in successfully refining the God Awakening Pill?" Mo Wangchen smiled and asked.

Master Tianyang frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"

"Master, you’re surely aware that you don’t even have a ten percent chance of success in refining the God Awakening Pill. These herbs were painstakingly gathered by the Xu family. If you take them and fail, they would be wasted."

Mo Wangchen smiled. Moments ago, when he grabbed Tianyang’s wrist, he used the opportunity to feel Tianyang’s pulse, sensing that Tianyang’s perception was only at the second tier, and a rather weak second tier at that.

With Tianyang’s level of perception, Mo Wangchen didn’t doubt that the former had no chance of successfully refining the God Awakening Pill.

The reason he stopped Master Tianyang was that among those herbs, the most precious one was the very Heavenly Soul Grass he had been searching for!

"What does young friend mean by this?"

Hearing Mo Wangchen’s words, Master Tianyang’s eyes narrowed, a trace of coldness flashing as he snorted, "I naturally have over fifty percent confidence, otherwise why would I take on such a task?"

Fifty percent!

Upon Master Tianyang’s statement, Xu Lin and the other Xu family high-ups felt a surge of joy. A fifty percent chance was quite good!

"Hehe..."

Yet all they heard was Mo Wangchen’s chuckle, "Master Tianyang’s perception is merely at the second tier, and from the looks of it, quite weak. I suppose you recently reached the second tier, right? Even refining an ordinary second-tier pill would have only about a fifty percent success rate, so how could you claim a fifty percent chance with a third-tier pill like the God Awakening Pill?"

"You!"

Hearing Mo Wangchen’s words, Master Tianyang was internally shaken, looking at Mo Wangchen in disbelief.

How is it possible?

The other party knew so much about him?

The intensity of an alchemist’s perception, unless released, was typically unknown to others.

"Could it have been just now..."

After his surprise, Master Tianyang frowned as he recalled something. When Mo Wangchen had grasped his wrist earlier, he had felt his heart skip a beat. He thought it was because he was too eager for the Heavenly Soul Grass and had been abruptly stopped.

Now upon reflection, it probably wasn’t that simple.

Mo Wangchen, when he held his wrist, might have used his perception to probe him!

Concluding this, Tianyang’s complexion became slightly grim. Thinking it over, he realized why Xu Chan had suddenly returned from Yun Chu Academy with a senior brother.

Evidently, she brought someone back to help the Xu family refine the God Awakening Pill.

And this young man, being an alchemist himself, naturally recognized the rarity of the Heavenly Soul Grass, hence the scene of him stopping Tianyang...
