Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven
Chapter 184 - 175: Qin Yue Arrives

Chapter 184: Chapter 175: Qin Yue Arrives

"Hehe, after all, he is a newcomer, inevitably a bit unaware of the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth." The man was naturally Jiang Yuan, an inheritance disciple of the fourth rank.

He put down his teacup and said with a smile, "I heard the time for him to submit the task is three days later?"

Liu Ye nodded and then picked up the teapot on the table, respectfully filling Jiang Yuan’s cup with tea, "Senior Brother, I heard this Mo Wangchen comes from Yun Country. Such a small place like Yun Country producing a young Pill Master of the third rank is indeed rare. But as soon as he entered the Pill Sect, he’s this arrogant..."

"Don’t worry." Before Liu Ye could finish, Jiang Yuan already understood his thoughts, "Since you’re a servant disciple under me, if he hit you, it makes me look bad. Three days later is the time for him to submit the task, it wouldn’t hurt to meet him then."

"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Hearing Jiang Yuan’s words, Liu Ye was delighted and then sneered, Mo Wangchen, three days later, you’ll see!

...

After returning to Wangyou Courtyard, Mo Wangchen knew Zhang Feng hadn’t slept last night, so he let him rest early.

But just as Zhang Feng turned back to the chores room, someone suddenly approached from outside the courtyard gate.

Seeing who it was, Zhang Feng was startled. Why had she come?

"Greetings, Saintess!"

The visitor was none other than Qin Yue, who had initially brought Mo Wangchen to the Pill Sect.

In the Pill Sect, Qin Yue held the status of the Saintess, akin to a Young Sect Master. Such a person, not to mention a small servant disciple like Zhang Feng, even the Elders of the Sect had to treat her with utmost respect.

But what puzzled Zhang Feng was why a high and mighty figure like Qin Yue would suddenly come here?

While he was puzzled, Qin Yue had already approached Mo Wangchen, "I heard you took on many tasks at the Medicinal Materials Hall all at once?"

Mo Wangchen was taken aback, then rubbed his nose, "My father is still in the hands of the Yun Country Royal Family, I cannot sit idly by. My Alchemy Dao skill is insufficient, so I intend to exchange for some sixth-rank Pills in the Medicinal Materials Hall through contribution points to improve my cultivation."

Hearing his words, Qin Yue nodded, "Sixth-rank Pills are indeed rare, even I don’t have many, so I can’t offer you much help. However, being able to exchange at the Medicinal Materials Hall with contribution points is also a tempering for you."

Saying this, Qin Yue seemed to recall something, "The Qi Gathering Pill and several other Alchemy Recipes I got from you earlier, I’ve already shown them to the Sect Master, and he is very satisfied."

"Sect Master?" Upon hearing this, Mo Wangchen was a bit surprised as he didn’t know who Qin Yue’s master was.

"He’s the Sect Master of our Pill Sect," Qin Yue replied with a nod.

"Sect Master?" Mo Wangchen was astonished, but upon thinking it through, he understood. Qin Yue was the Saintess of the Pill Sect, so who else but the Sect Master would be qualified to be her master?

"In two months, there will be an Alchemy competition within the Sect, open to all inheritance disciples. The Sect Master hopes to see you there," Qin Yue said.

"Competition?" Mo Wangchen frowned slightly. Clearly, he wasn’t in the mood to participate in such events.

Qin Yue naturally understood that what Mo Wangchen cared about most was his own strength and his family held by the Yun Country Royal Family. She said, "If you perform well in this competition, the rewards won’t be trivial. There are sixth-rank Pills like the ones you seek."

"Is that so..."

Mo Wangchen murmured softly. If there were pill rewards, he might as well participate.

"The competition is in two months, so you have ample time to prepare. Try to elevate your rank as a Pill Master before then." With these words, Qin Yue intended to leave.

However, as she reached the courtyard gate, she seemed to remember something, paused for a moment, and then said, "After you complete your current tasks, come find me, and we’ll go down the mountain together."

"Down the mountain?" Mo Wangchen was puzzled, "Where to?"

"You’ll know when the time comes..."

Qin Yue didn’t explain. With those words, she leapt into the air and disappeared before Mo Wangchen’s eyes.

"You know the Saintess?"

Only after Qin Yue left did Zhang Feng react, looking at Mo Wangchen in amazement.

He hadn’t expected that Mo Wangchen, who initially hadn’t impressed him, would actually know the Saintess of the Pill Sect. It was known that even in the entire Ten Directions Domain, a character like Qin Yue was a top-level genius.

Mo Wangchen didn’t hide it, but he had no intention to explain either. He nodded, "When I first came to the Pill Sect, it was she who brought me here."

Zhang Feng was astonished. To have Qin Yue personally invite him to the Sect, what kind of ability did Mo Wangchen possess?

Furthermore, from their conversation, Zhang Feng realized that not only Qin Yue but even the Sect Master was interested in Mo Wangchen.

This was truly astounding!

Let alone a third-rank inheritance disciple, even fourth-rank inheritance disciples rarely made such high-level figures like the Sect Master take notice.

...

Mo Wangchen didn’t pay attention to what Zhang Feng was thinking. He entered his room and closed the door.

After taking out the Pill Furnace, he retrieved the task scrolls one by one, "Let’s start refining the Pills. Tasks that require Alchemy Recipes are easier to tackle."

...

For the next three days, Mo Wangchen stayed in his room, rarely going out.

Meanwhile, Zhang Feng spent most of his time either tending to the Spirit Grass in the courtyard or studying Alchemy Dao in the chores room. Undeniably, the two Alchemy Recipes Mo Wangchen gave him greatly helped.

Now, he had managed to successfully refine Pills from those two recipes, although the failure rate was still high. But Zhang Feng believed that before the assessment, he would be confident enough to increase the success rate to over fifty percent!

...

Today was the task submission day. Mo Wangchen sat cross-legged in front of the Pill Furnace, his perception fully immersed within it. By now, he had almost completed the Pills needed for the tasks, and the Alchemy Recipes were also written.

Until a concentrated Pill Fragrance emanated from the Pill Furnace, Mo Wangchen retrieved the Pills with one hand, exhaling a long breath, "Finally completed..."

He raised his hand slightly, lifting the sleeve on his right hand to reveal a Luminous Pearl glowing faintly, which he wore on his wrist.

"No idea what this pearl truly is. In the letter from my father, he mentioned that it was left to me by my mother before she departed. This pearl must be extraordinary, and it’s thanks to this Luminous Pearl that I could persevere over these three days!"

Just a while ago, Mo Wangchen discovered that while wearing the Luminous Pearl, the perception consumed during Alchemy mysteriously recovered as it was used.

And it wasn’t just perception. Even the Spiritual Power consumed within the Spirit Sea recovered several times faster than usual after wearing the Luminous Pearl.
