Chapter 205: Chapter 196: Too Rigid, Easily Broken

Returning to Wangyou Courtyard, Mo Wangchen had given Zhang Feng several third-grade Alchemy Recipes, telling him to try his hand at refining them whenever he could, using the medicinal herbs from the Chores Room at will.

Not only that, seeing that Zhang Feng had a good talent for Alchemy Dao, Mo Wangchen also specially gave him a fourth-grade Alchemy Recipe, also written in great detail, with many insights noted on it.

For this, Zhang Feng was of course extremely grateful!

After returning to his room, Mo Wangchen ignored everything else, took out a Beast Spirit Pill, and put it in his mouth to start his cultivation.

The Beast Spirit Pill contained an extremely powerful demon core essence, and although it was still far inferior to the Spiritual Liquid of the Dragon Python, Mo Wangchen, with his Heavenly Dao Body and the mysterious Luminous Pearl left by his mother, still made steady progress in his cultivation level.

Three days later, inside the room, the surging of Heaven and Earth’s Spiritual Energy raged, and Mo Wangchen suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with two glimmers of light, as if they were Sword Light.

The next moment, a strong aura surged from his body and in just a few short moments, he had advanced from the seventh layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm to the complete eighth layer.

"Phew!"

He took a deep breath, the chaotic airflow around his body gradually subsided, "Not bad, it at least advanced me by one level. Now I am at the eighth layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm, not far from the Returning Ruins Realm..."

"The Yun Country Royal Family has a Primordial Spirit Realm Expert stationed there, but if I’m only in the Returning Ruins Realm, I’m still too weak. It seems impossible to rescue my father so soon."

Mo Wangchen sighed again and then suddenly remembered something, "Previously in the ruins, I killed Fang Ruyuan, and he had a grandfather who is a Great Elder in the Sword Sect. It’s been almost half a month now, why has there been no movement from the Sword Sect?"

He frowned, a look of puzzlement on his face, when suddenly there came a knock on the door. Mo Wangchen jumped out of bed, opened the door, and to his surprise, the visitor turned out to be Qin Yue.

"Senior Sister?"

"Master wants to see you," Qin Yue nodded and said directly, glancing at Mo Wangchen.

Upon hearing this, Mo Wangchen was stunned for a moment. Qin Yue’s master, isn’t that the Sect Master of the Pill Sect?

That was one of the few real powerhouses in the entire Ten Directions Domain!

He did not dare to delay; after closing the door, he followed Qin Yue out of the courtyard.

"Eh? Is that the Saintess?"

"Where, where? Speaking of which, I’ve been in the Pill Sect for almost a year now and still haven’t seen our sect’s Saintess. I’ve heard she’s one of the two top beauties of the Ten Directions Domain... Holy shit? Senior Brother Mo?"

"He’s actually walking with the Saintess? No way? Do they know each other?"

Walking on the small paths of the Pill Sect, people spotted Mo Wangchen walking with Qin Yue, and their eyes immediately showed surprise.

"Senior Brother Mo is really awesome! No wonder he was able to bring down Elder Sun Ming and Jiang Yuan. I didn’t expect him to actually know the Saintess? She’s one of the three great talents of the Ten Directions Domain, right up there with Xu Menglan from the Xuannv Sect, both known as the two top beauties!"

"You’re really behind with the news. It’s not just the Saintess—I heard that Senior Brother Mo even knows the Sect Master of our Pill Sect. Heh heh, Elder Sun Ming and Jiang Yuan have been punished by the Law Enforcement Hall, both pressed into Penitence Cliff to face the wall for a hundred years, not allowed to step out, and Liu Ye got it even worse, being expelled from the sect outright..."

...

"It seems you’ve made quite a splash, to be so famous within only a few days of joining the Pill Sect,"

Upon hearing the words of the people around, Qin Yue turned and looked at Mo Wangchen, teasingly said.

Mo Wangchen touched his nose, "How can I compare to Senior Sister? You are one of the three great talents of the Ten Directions Domain, and together with Xu Menglan of the Xuannv Sect, are known as the two super beauties, with a reputation that is huge throughout the entire Ten Directions Domain. I’ve just been causing minor troubles within the Pill Sect..."

"Is it just ’minor troubles’?"

Qin Yue, however, smiled enigmatically, "I’m afraid you still don’t know, do you? Nowadays, you also have a not insignificant reputation within the Ten Directions Domain. What do you think the Sect Master is looking for you for?"

Hearing this, Mo Wangchen was stunned for a moment and immediately furrowed his brows, "Sword Sect?"

Qin Yue nodded, "You killed Fang Ruyuan, how would the Sword Sect let it go so easily? This matter has already caused quite a stir in the outside world. Fang Ruyuan, as one of the top talents of the Ten Directions Domain below the Returning Ruins Realm, and being the grandson of the Sword Sect Great Elder Fang Tianzhou, your act of killing him has turned many forces’ attention onto you. They are curious indeed, who exactly has achieved such a feat."

"The Sword Sect has not yet made a move, perhaps they are brewing something. You’d better be somewhat prepared; the Sword Sect is now the strongest sect of the Ten Directions Domain. If it weren’t for the Pill Sect’s wide connections, it would be difficult to face them. However, you can rest assured that within the Pill Sect, the Sword Sect cannot touch you."

Mo Wangchen nodded, his expression slightly serious, and soon they arrived at the peak of a mountain.

This mountaintop was located at the very back of the Pill Sect, the highest place of the entire sect. Standing on the mountaintop, Mo Wangchen looked out and could see the early layout of the Pill Sect.

Directly in front of the mountaintop stood a great hall that seemed rather ancient from a distance, surely having existed for a long time.

Qiandan Hall!

This was where the Sect Master rested each day. Apart from the sect’s elders and people like Qin Yue, other ordinary disciples were not qualified to come here.

The two of them walked towards the Qiandan Hall. Just as they were about to enter, they saw a young man coming out from it.

"Hm?"

The man paused, noticing Qin Yue and Mo Wangchen walking over talking and laughing. He frowned slightly, his gaze finally settling on Mo Wangchen, "Senior Sister Qin Yue, this is..."

"Mo Wangchen, Master has ordered me to summon him. If there’s nothing else, you can leave for now," Qin Yue said indifferently.

"So, you are Mo Wangchen?" After hearing Qin Yue’s words, the man narrowed his eyes; he sized him up.

During this time, Mo Wangchen had caused quite a stir within the Pill Sect, and because of him, Sun Ming and Jiang Yuan had been punished by the sect.

Mo Wangchen was silent, merely nodding slightly. Frowning, he felt uncomfortably scrutinized by the man’s gaze which seemed to want to see right through him.

"I have heard of your deed, killing Fang Ruyuan, surely showing some ability. Yet at the same time, it has brought trouble to the sect. The Sword Sect’s influence is not weak. Next time, Junior Brother Mo, you might want to think things through more carefully before acting," The young man said lightly, looking at Mo Wangchen.

"What do you mean by that, Senior Brother?"

Mo Wangchen narrowed his eyes; although he did not recognize the man, he must not be simple to appear here, but regardless, the man’s words seemed rather excessive.

"We’re meeting for the first time and you don’t know why I killed Fang Ruyuan at all. Back in the ruins, he wanted to kill me; should I have obliged and let him? If my strength hadn’t surpassed Fang Ruyuan’s, I would be mere bones by now. As fellow disciples, instead of blaming me for the consequences of my actions, should we of the Pill Sect simply allow others to bully us?"

Mo Wangchen’s words were clear and percolated into the man’s ears.

"Slick tongue!"

The man snorted coldly, a chill flashing in his eyes, but his face did not show anger as he walked past Mo Wangchen, "I was just kindly reminding you. If you can’t take advice, you are free to dismiss it as if it were the whistling wind. Too much rigidness can lead to breakage; don’t forget, you also bear the identity of a Pill Sect disciple, do not bring unnecessary trouble to the sect!"
