“The alchemy recipe?
Hand it over for this old man to see!”
After the laughter ceased, the old man licked his lips, looking at Mo Wangchen with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
However, Mo Wangchen shook his head, smiling, “I wonder if you, elder, brought the Dragon Roar Grass?”
Hearing his words, the old man was taken aback, “You don’t trust me, young one?”
“It’s not a matter of trust, I don’t even know your name, and with your cultivation, if you take the alchemy recipe and deny it, I would be helpless…”
“This kid is interesting!” The old man turned to Liang Yuqiu and laughed, then looked back at Mo Wangchen, “As for my name…”
“Hmm…
My surname is Ling, just call me Elder Ling.”
The old man pondered for a moment, not revealing his full name, and then with a flick of his hand, an exotic grass with three leaves appeared in his palm.
“It really is Dragon Roar Grass!” Mo Wangchen’s eyes lit up, sensing a trace of dragon energy from the grass.
Without hesitation, he took out the already prepared alchemy recipe.
“This is the recipe for the Life Extension Pill…”
Elder Ling handed the Dragon Roar Grass to Mo Wangchen, took the alchemy recipe, and his eyes couldn’t help but scrutinize it.
Moments later, Mo Wangchen and Liang Yuqiu saw the eagerness in Elder Ling’s eyes gradually turn to surprise, and finally into shock, with a hint of bewilderment.
He looked up at Mo Wangchen, “Where did you get this alchemy recipe?”
Mo Wangchen frowned; he certainly couldn’t tell him that he wrote it himself, right?
After a moment of silence, Mo Wangchen said, “I acquired it from some ruins.
If the elder finds no fault with the recipe, then I’ll take my leave.”
After speaking, Mo Wangchen slightly bowed and then turned to leave.
Watching his figure disappear, Liang Yuqiu couldn’t help but ask, “Master, how is this alchemy recipe, can it really be used to refine the so-called Life Extension Pill?”
Elder Ling squinted his eyes, and after a moment of silence, said, “Whether it can be refined, we’ll have to try to know.
But judging by the written refining process on this recipe, including the mixing of ingredients and detailed insights, there’s not a single flaw.
It certainly is an alchemy recipe, but the effectiveness of the refined pill is hard to say, and moreover…”
“Moreover what?” Liang Yuqiu was puzzled.
“Judging by the marks on it, this alchemy recipe was clearly just written recently.
Based on what that kid said, it was obtained from the ruins.
This obviously doesn’t make any sense.
Even if he preserved the original recipe and just rewrote it for me, if he had the original recipe, he could simply imprint a copy using perception.
Why bother writing by hand…”
At this point, Elder Ling fell silent, seemingly deep in thought.
“Master, you mean…”
Liang Yuqiu frowned and then was shocked, “He didn’t have any original alchemy recipe?”
“Who knows…”
Elder Ling pondered, but his eyes were full of sharp flashes, “Moreover, this recipe differs in many places from the alchemy recipes I know.
The alchemical method is different from the current methods in Tiannan.
It’s really strange…”
“Could there be some master behind this kid?” Elder Ling was suddenly startled, muttering to himself, “Is there anyone in Yun Country who knows more about alchemy than me?”
…
“Now that I have the Green Darkness Grass and Dragon Roar Grass, I’m just one ingredient short for the main components of the Nine Orifices Spirit Pill.
Finding the remaining ingredients shouldn’t be too difficult…”
After leaving the Alchemy Pavilion, Mo Wangchen walked alone toward the courtyard they rented.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, his eyes slightly narrowing, “Someone is following me?”
“Ding Cheng, why did you release your presence?
That kid might notice!”
Among the crowd, there were two young figures currently staring at Mo Wangchen.
One of them frowned and said.
“Heh, so what if he notices?” The man referred to as Ding Cheng chuckled, looking unconcerned.
“Senior Brother Yang Xu only asked us to secretly watch his movements…”
“Gao Yang, you really don’t know how to adapt, do you?” Ding Cheng glanced at him and continued, “Since Senior Brother Yang Xu had us follow this kid secretly, it must be because he offended Senior Brother Yang Xu.
This is a perfect opportunity to curry favor with him.
Don’t you have any sense?”
“You want to teach this kid a lesson?” Gao Yang was taken aback.
“Heh, this kid seems to be only at the first or second level of the Vein Condesation Realm.
We are both at the seventh level.
What harm is there in teaching him a lesson?
If we don’t seize this opportunity, we’ll always be stuck in the Outer Court.”
“Hmm?
That kid went into the alley?
Did he discover us?”
“Heh, isn’t that just perfect…”
The two exchanged a glance and then walked toward the alley.
“Huh?
Nobody here?” But when they entered the alley, they found it empty and were momentarily stunned.
Ding Cheng frowned, “Where did he go?”
Bang!
Just as his voice fell, a shadow suddenly appeared from behind a protruding rock wall in the alley.
In the next moment, he felt a heavy impact on his chest, sending him flying.
Thump!
When he landed harshly on the ground, Ding Cheng coughed up a mouthful of blood, the oppressive feeling in his chest nearly causing him to faint.
“Who sent you?” Mo Wangchen squinted his eyes, his aura blasting out to the fullest.
“Kid, you dare ambush me!” Ding Cheng shouted furiously, climbing up from the ground with anger in his eyes, but his chest still felt oppressive.
He shouted, “Gao Yang, cripple this kid for me!”
“You’re looking for death, kid!” Gao Yang sneered without hesitation, unleashing his momentum.
His cultivation had reached the seventh level of the Vein Condesation Realm, and his powerful pressure made Mo Wangchen’s eyes focus.
With that, Gao Yang slammed his foot on the ground, causing it to crack, and in the next instant, his body lunged forward, his fist aiming fiercely at Mo Wangchen’s chest.
Mo Wangchen’s eyes narrowed.
This person’s cultivation was similar to Mo Cheng’s, so he naturally wasn’t afraid.
At once, the aura of the five Spirit Veins within him erupted, and he struck out with his palm to meet Gao Yang’s punch, “Xuanlong Palm!”
Boom!
When the fist collided with Mo Wangchen’s palm, there was a heavy thud accompanied by the sound of bones cracking.
In the next instant, Gao Yang’s scream echoed, “Ah!”
His body was sent flying, his entire arm shattered by Mo Wangchen’s tremendous force.
