Chapter 127: Chapter 127 Soul Devouring Pill

Mo Wangchen waved his hand, not paying much attention.

Then Xu Lin said, "Master, you and Chan’er hurried to Cangbi City, do you want to rest first..."

Mo Wangchen shook his head, "There’s no need to rest, but I do need to check on the old Clan Leader’s condition, so I can make some adjustments regarding the medicinal power during the alchemy process."

Hearing his words, Xu Lin nodded without hesitation. This was why he called him Master; before refining pills, he even checked on the patient’s condition. Having such a senior brother for Xu Chan was a great fortune for the Xu Family.

Soon, Xu Chan and the Xu Family’s high-level members were waiting in the hall. Led by Xu Lin, Mo Wangchen went to see the old Clan Leader to assess his condition.

In a certain room, the Xu Family Ancestor lay quietly on a large bed, his complexion somewhat pale, devoid of vitality. Yet, Mo Wangchen could sense that the other still had a weak breath continuing but had been in a coma for a long time without waking.

Seeing this scene, Mo Wangchen slightly furrowed his brows.

Xu Lin, seeing this, was immediately surprised and trembled as he asked, "Master, could it be that my father..."

Before he could finish, Mo Wangchen shook his head, "It’s not a serious problem, it’s just that he’s been in a coma too long. If I had come a few days later, even I would have been powerless to help."

Hearing Mo Wangchen say this, Xu Lin heaved a sigh of relief and then heavily cupped his hands towards him, "I ask Master to definitely help me refine the God Awakening Pill. Our Xu Family will be grateful beyond words!"

"There’s no need for polite words. My coming here is entirely for Junior Sister Xu Chan’s sake. Let’s go out first; I’ll give you a list of herbs later. Have someone buy them, and I’ll start refining."

With that, Mo Wangchen was the first to walk out of the room.

He had never seen the alchemy recipe for the God Awakening Pill, nor did he know how to refine it. Even if he did know, Mo Wangchen probably wouldn’t use Heavenly Soul Grass for refining, as it was the last main ingredient he had been searching for to make the Nine Aperture Spirit Pill.

Now, Mo Wangchen intended to refine a pill known as the Soul Devouring Pill, which had a similar effect to the God Awakening Pill; both were meant to awaken people who had fallen into a slumber after being devoured by inner demons.

...

In the Xu Family hall, Mo Wangchen had already obtained the Heavenly Soul Grass and now sat quietly drinking tea, accompanied by Xu Chan and Xu Lin. The other Xu Family’s high-level members had already left.

Before long, the servant who had been sent out to buy the herbs returned. After all, the Soul Devouring Pill was a third-tier pill, and its herbs were not cheap. Although Cangbi City was more prosperous than Fangtian City, the herbs for third-tier pills were still very rare.

Only the Alchemy Pavilion could possess them, and generally, such level of herbs were rarely sold by the branch pavilions.

However, upon learning that the servant was preparing herbs for Mo Wangchen, Master Tianyang took out all these herbs without a word and didn’t charge any money.

When Mo Wangchen learned of this, he merely smiled slightly and didn’t pay much mind. He knew that Master Tianyang was afraid of him causing trouble, so he didn’t charge as a form of flattery.

Mo Wangchen didn’t care, but Xu Lin was shocked. Master Tianyang, who was once a respected second-tier alchemy master in Cangbi City, was now so timid in front of Mo Wangchen, which was truly unbelievable.

So at this moment, as Xu Lin looked at Mo Wangchen, his eyes became even more respectful.

Quickly, after obtaining the herbs, Mo Wangchen, led by Xu Lin, arrived at an empty room. He entered, closed the door, and took out the Pill Furnace, beginning to refine the Soul Devouring Pill.

Now, refining a third-tier pill was not challenging for Mo Wangchen, and with his superb alchemy skills, in less than two hours, he had refined the Soul Devouring Pill.

When he walked out of the room, he saw that Xu Lin and Xu Chan had been waiting all along.

Seeing Mo Wangchen emerging from the room, Xu Lin felt a little anxious and approached him.

Mo Wangchen merely smiled and took out the refined Soul Devouring Pill, "The pill is ready, give it to the old Clan Leader. He should wake up in an hour."

"Thank you! Thank you, Master Mo!"

Xu Lin’s face was filled with joy, and the heavy stone in his heart was finally put down. But quickly, he paused for a moment, "Wake up in an hour?"

He recalled that Master Tianyang once told him that even after taking the God Awakening Pill, it would take several days to gradually regain consciousness. Yet Mo Wangchen now said it would only take an hour?

"I said an hour, so it will be an hour. Let’s go," Mo Wangchen saw the other’s doubt but chose not to explain.

Xu Lin nodded, though filled with questions. But whether it was as Mo Wangchen said would be known after giving the pill to his father.

Soon, the three returned to the Xu Family Ancestor’s room. Xu Chan brought a bowl of clear water, which was not ordinary water but had a certain medicine liquid added, prepared beforehand by Mo Wangchen. Otherwise, with the old Clan Leader’s comatose state, the pill would be hard to swallow.

Xu Lin and Mo Wangchen stood by, watching as Xu Chan placed the pill into the Xu Family Ancestor’s mouth, gave him a sip of the clear water, and gently lifted his chin, letting the pill gradually flow down his throat.

Then Xu Chan also stood up, and the three quietly waited in the room.

Who knew how long it was when suddenly a mess of footsteps came from outside, followed by a servant shouting, "Clan Leader, it’s not good, people from the Zhang Family are here!"

"The Zhang Family?!"

Hearing the servant’s words from outside, Xu Lin’s expression suddenly changed.

"What’s going on?" Mo Wangchen asked, puzzled.

"The Zhang Family, like our Xu Family, is one of the three major families in Cangbi City. Our Xu Family sold off many properties to gather ingredients for the God Awakening Pill, and they were all acquired by the Zhang Family. Only a few weaving markets in the east of the city remain with our Xu Family, but the Zhang Family has coveted those markets for a long time and has come to us many times, even using coercion to force us to sell the markets to them..."

Mo Wangchen frowned slightly, "With Xu Chan junior sister now being part of Yun Chu Academy, even though the Xu Family has declined, because of Xu Chan junior sister, why does the Zhang Family dare to be so arrogant?"

"The Young Master of Zhang Family is also a disciple of Yun Chu Academy and joined earlier years ago, now being an Inner Court disciple..."

While Mo Wangchen was still puzzled, Xu Chan stepped forward and said with furrowed brows.
