Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven
Chapter 206 - 197: Pill King Lin Xuantian!

Chapter 206: Chapter 197: Pill King Lin Xuantian!

The man walked down the steps towards the mountain peak and finally disappeared from Mo Wangchen’s sight.

After withdrawing his gaze, he heard Qin Yue say, "This man’s name is Luo Yuntian. He is my master’s registered disciple and one of the few fifth-grade Inheritance Disciples of our Pill Sect."

"So, he is Luo Yuntian..."

Mo Wangchen frowned. Ever since he arrived at the Pill Sect, he had heard a bit about this Luo Yuntian.

In fact, Qin Yue was a True Disciple of the Pill Sect Master. Besides her, there was another disciple of the master, which was Luo Yuntian just now. However, Luo Yuntian was merely a registered disciple and not truly considered the master’s disciple.

...

As Qin Yue entered Qiandan Hall, Mo Wangchen looked ahead and saw a gigantic Alchemy Furnace placed at the front. It was more than twice the size of any he had seen before!

In front of the furnace sat an old man in meditation, with gray-white hair and a ruddy complexion, resembling a middle-aged man in his forties.

It was easy to deduce that this old man must be the current master of the Pill Sect, known as Pill King Lin Xuantian!

Pill King Lin Xuantian had gained fame hundreds of years ago. It had been a century since he took over as the Pill Sect Master. It was rumored that his Alchemy Dao Skill had reached the seventh-grade level, making him the only seventh-grade Alchemy Dao Master in the Ten Directions Domain.

Do not underestimate the number of sixth-grade Pill Masters in the Ten Directions Domain. The gap between sixth and seventh-grade was not just minor!

The Alchemy Dao was divided into nine grades: first to third for the Lower Rank, fourth to sixth for Middle Rank, and seventh to ninth for the Upper Rank!

Though only one grade apart, crossing from third to fourth was a significant and challenging leap. This was because after alchemists reached the third stage of Perception, enhancing their skills further was difficult. Becoming a fourth-grade alchemist was not easy.

Similarly, the gap between sixth and seventh grades was as vast and challenging to cross as a chasm.

The seventh-grade was Upper Rank, and in the entire Ten Directions Domain and neighboring areas, only Lin Xuantian had reached this level!

"Master!"

Qin Yue approached Lin Xuantian, respectfully clasping her hands in a bow.

Lin Xuantian slowly opened his eyes, and the Pill Fragrance wafted from the furnace in front of him, indicating he was refining some pill.

The moment he opened his eyes, Mo Wangchen sensed an overwhelming antiquity, containing countless stars within. He understood that Lin Xuantian was undoubtedly an ancient monster, surviving nearly a millennium!

His profound gaze eventually fell upon Mo Wangchen, causing an involuntary shudder in Mo Wangchen’s mind. This man’s cultivation likely reached an extremely terrifying realm, but Mo Wangchen had an innate and stubborn streak that refused to yield. In the end, his gaze met Lin Xuantian’s directly.

This stubbornness stemmed from his past life as a ninth-grade Alchemist. In both past and present, a ninth-grade Alchemist was a towering figure on the continent. Although Lin Xuantian was a Pill King in the Ten Directions Domain and a seventh-grade Alchemist, compared to Mo Wangchen’s past life, he was still far inferior.

"Hmm?"

With just a brief moment of eye contact, Lin Xuantian slightly furrowed his brows. For some reason, he saw an invincible aura in Mo Wangchen’s eyes, standing alone atop a solitary peak.

That aura made Lin Xuantian’s heart tremble slightly, even giving him the illusion that he sensed something in Mo Wangchen that even he himself could not rival.

It seemed as if Mo Wangchen was a true Alchemy Dao Grandmaster; despite possessing seventh-grade Alchemy Dao skill, in front of Mo Wangchen, he appeared insignificant.

"Is it an illusion..."

Lin Xuantian murmured to himself, squinting his eyes as he sized up Mo Wangchen, then softly said, "Boy, you are quite remarkable."

His voice, though hoarse, did not lack a sense of vigor and strength. Mo Wangchen slightly bowed, "Disciple Mo Wangchen greets the Sect Master!"

"In one month’s time, the sect will hold an Alchemy competition. Your Senior Sister Qin Yue should have informed you about it, correct?" Lin Xuantian smiled, retracting his gaze from Mo Wangchen and turning towards the furnace in front of him, where the Alchemy Fire became more intense.

"The disciple has already been informed. Does the Sect Master hope for me to enter this competition?" Mo Wangchen asked.

Lin Xuantian did not answer directly but said, "The Alchemy competition is held every three years in our Pill Sect. It provides disciples the opportunity to showcase their skills, and the sect offers many rewards. Those who achieve a ranking in the competition could soar to great heights, making a name for themselves in the entire Ten Directions Domain."

As he spoke, his gaze returned to Mo Wangchen, "I am very curious, where did you obtain those Alchemy Recipes from?"

Mo Wangchen slightly frowned, understanding that the other party was inquiring about the Extreme Cold Pill, Green Sun Pill, and Qi Gathering Pill recipes. These pills had never appeared before on the Tian Nan Continent.

Especially since the Extreme Cold Pill could resolve the Fire Poison issue, which was remarkable enough by itself.

"I was born with blocked meridians and a waste body, unable to cultivate. Later, I met my master who repaired my meridians and taught me Alchemy methods. These recipes were also given to me by him." Naturally, Mo Wangchen could not reveal the truth and instead fabricated a story.

"Oh? A master?"

With growing interest, Lin Xuantian had heard from Qin Yue about Mo Wangchen’s congenital Waste Body condition. "Who is your master?"

Being able to produce such extraordinary recipes, Mo Wangchen’s master surely was a renowned Alchemy Dao Grandmaster on the continent, right?

"Before leaving, my master instructed me not to reveal his name to anyone. Besides, he loves seclusion and often hides in the mountains. Even if I mentioned it, I fear the Sect Master might not know him anyway..."

Hearing Lin Xuantian’s question, Mo Wangchen felt helpless and had to fabricate further.

"I see..."

Although somewhat skeptical, if not as Mo Wangchen claimed, it would be difficult to explain where he obtained those recipes.

Buzz!

With a slight disappointment in his eyes, the Alchemy Furnace in front of Lin Xuantian trembled, and a dense Pill Fragrance spread, indicating the pill within the furnace had formed.

"According to your Senior Sister Qin Yue, you obtained a Holy Rank Treasure Sword in the ruins. Saint Items are spiritual, and unless one has a resolute mind, they cannot control them and may be devoured or controlled by the sword. This pill is a sixth-grade Delusion Demon Pill, which can protect you from the erosion of the Holy Rank Magical Treasure."

As he spoke, Lin Xuantian retrieved the successfully refined pill from the furnace and handed it to Mo Wangchen.

Delusion Demon Pill?

Mo Wangchen was momentarily stunned, then delighted. Holy Rank Magical Treasures were different from Dao Artifacts, containing more hostility. Low-grade pills like the Breakthrough Pill could no longer suppress them. Previously, he was worried about dealing with it, but unexpectedly, he now obtained a sixth-grade Delusion Demon Pill.

"Thank you, Sect Master!"

Mo Wangchen expressed his gratitude with a bow.

"Go now. In a month’s time, if you achieve a ranking in the Alchemy competition, I will have additional rewards. After all, our Pill Sect hasn’t produced an Alchemy Dao genius like you in many years."

Geniuses, wherever placed, were always favored for their potential. Within the Pill Sect, Mo Wangchen’s Alchemy Dao skills evidently qualified him for such treatment.

"One more thing, unless necessary, it’s best not to leave the sect. You killed Fang Tianzhou’s grandson; the Sword Sect is unlikely to let it go easily. However, within our Pill Sect, they dare not touch you. A month from now, during the competition, various powers will observe, including the Sword Sect, so exercise caution just in case."

As Mo Wangchen was about to exit Qiandan Hall, Lin Xuantian’s reminder suddenly echoed from behind.
