Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 87 Do You Have a Grudge Against the Jun Family?

Chapter 87: Chapter 87 Do You Have a Grudge Against the Jun Family?

""What?!"

Mo Wangchen’s words had just slipped out, and in the next moment, Elder Ling and Wan Quan suddenly stood up from their seats, their faces filled with disbelief as they looked toward Mo Wangchen.

"You have a way?!" Elder Ling widened his eyes, full of incredulity.

Besides him, Wan Quan’s eyes, which had been somewhat scattered, suddenly brightened, as if seeing a glimmer of hope, staring intently at Mo Wangchen.

Seeing their reactions, Mo Wangchen was startled, and then he gave a wry smile, "I do have a way, but..."

"But what?" Elder Ling frowned and urged, "Speak up, what’s with the suspense?"

"Indeed, if young friend truly can resolve the fire poison in my body, my Wan Family will certainly not treat you poorly!"

Currently, among the five major families, there were strong cultivators of the Returning Ruins Realm holding fort. The Wan Family, being an Artifact Refining Family, was much weaker compared to the other families. If not for Wan Quan’s Returning Ruins Realm cultivation, how could the Wan Family even rank among the five major families?

He did not doubt that once he died, without a Returning Ruins Realm expert in the family, the Wan Family would inevitably be squeezed out of the ranks of the five major families.

"I know of a pill that can suppress the fire poison within the body. Though it cannot completely eradicate it, it should allow Senior Wan to live for another ten or so years without issue..."

Mo Wangchen paused slightly in his speech, then continued, "This pill is called the Extreme Cold Pill, the best remedy to counteract fire poison. However, the materials for this pill are not easy to find, not to mention Senior Wan only has three months left. Whether we can gather the ingredients within three months is a question, and the most crucial problem is that the Extreme Cold Pill is a sixth-grade pill. Unless there is a sixth-grade alchemist, it would be difficult to concoct it..."

"Sixth-grade alchemist?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Quan and Elder Ling exchanged a glance, and Elder Ling said, "Isn’t there one right before you?"

Uh!

Mo Wangchen was taken aback, looking at Elder Ling, "Senior is a sixth-grade alchemist?!"

He wasn’t to be blamed for his surprise; a sixth-grade alchemist was highly revered anywhere on the Tian Nan Continent. Mo Wangchen hadn’t expected Elder Ling to be a sixth-grade alchemist.

"Hehe! As the Alliance Hierarch of the Alchemist Alliance, having a sixth-grade Alchemy Dao skill is not strange, right?" Elder Ling chuckled.

Alliance Hierarch of the Alchemist Alliance...

Upon hearing this, Mo Wangchen was shocked again in his heart, his face filled with disbelief as he looked at the other man. He had been guessing what identity Elder Ling held within the Alchemist Alliance, never expecting him to be the one with the highest authority in the entire alliance?!

The Alchemist Alliance held significant weight within Yun Country, something even the Royal Family dared not easily offend.

"Young man! Now you have a sixth-grade alchemist. What materials do you need for the Extreme Cold Pill you mentioned?" Elder Ling asked.

"The other few ingredients are easy to find, likely available within the alliance. However, there is one called Cold Feather Leaf, which I have never seen. It grows on snowy mountains, chilling to the bone upon contact, and is an indispensable ingredient for crafting the Extreme Cold Pill!" Mo Wangchen explained.

This Extreme Cold Pill was a formulation he knew from his previous life, and naturally, he had the recipe.

Compared to his past life, the Alchemy Dao of the present Tian Nan Continent had regressed significantly, hence lacking a solution to fire poison. However, in Mo Wangchen’s previous life, it was different; the Alchemy Dao there was extremely prosperous, at its peak. Fire poison posed a threat to alchemists, so naturally, someone developed the Extreme Cold Pill.

After listening to Mo Wangchen, the hope in Wan Quan’s eyes had dimmed again. If even Mo Wangchen said so, it would likely be very difficult to find the so-called Cold Feather Leaf.

Beside him, Elder Ling also frowned slightly. He had never heard of the Cold Feather Leaf Mo Wangchen mentioned, but soon, he remembered something, "Judging by your description, I do know of a herb, though it’s not called Cold Feather Leaf, yet it also grows on icy peaks, chilling to the bone..."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Mo Wangchen looked over, seeming to wait for the other to continue.

In fact, Mo Wangchen also knew that the Tian Nan Continent of today differed from his previous life. In the past, it was called Cold Feather Leaf, but here, it might not be known by that name.

He had been involved with pills here for quite some time, and many medicinal herbs had different names compared to his past life but were actually the same herbs with similar effects and properties!

Elder Ling said, "That herb is called Cold Leaf, and the Jun Family has one. They approached me before, wanting to use that Cold Leaf to concoct a pill..."

"The Jun Family?"

Hearing this, Mo Wangchen immediately frowned and snorted coldly.

Seeing this, Elder Ling and Wan Quan exchanged a glance, "You have a grudge with the Jun Family?"

Mo Wangchen sneered, "It’s not really a grudge, Jun Muqing has had a marriage engagement arranged long ago. I wonder if the two seniors have heard about it?"

"Of course, we know about that. This matter is no secret within Yunge City anymore. I heard the one engaged to that girl is a naturally waste body, unable to condense spiritual power through veins. What’s the name again, I don’t recall, maybe some Mo..."

As he said this, Elder Ling suddenly looked startled, and his gaze quickly fell on Mo Wangchen, eyes filled with astonishment, "Could it be you, young man?"

"It is indeed me." Mo Wangchen did not hide it and nodded.

Seeing him admit it, the eyes of Elder Ling and Wan Quan grew even more surprised, "Weren’t you said to be born with a waste body..."

They had already observed that Mo Wangchen, although only at the fourth level of the Vein Condensation Realm, clearly did not match the description of the one engaged to Jun Muqing.

Wasn’t it said that the person couldn’t condense spiritual power and would spend a lifetime only reaching the ninth level of the Body Refinement Realm?

Mo Wangchen didn’t intend to explain their confusion. Elder Ling looked at him and said, "That Cold Leaf has been kept in the Jun Family, and I cannot be certain if it is the Cold Feather Leaf you mentioned. This Cold Leaf is the main ingredient for crafting the Returning Ruins Pill, which I heard the Jun Family was preparing for Jun Muqing’s sake..."

"Jun Muqing?" Hearing this, Mo Wangchen frowned even more, sneering, "She is merely at the third level of the Spirit Realm and already eager to prepare a Returning Ruins Pill. The Jun Family is really generous..."

"Previously, they asked me to craft the Returning Ruins Pill. I already agreed, but due to the value of the Cold Leaf, the Jun Family was reluctant to hand it over to me and wanted me to refine it within the Jun Family. If that Cold Leaf truly is the Cold Feather Leaf you mentioned..."

"Old fellow, you’re not thinking of secretly swapping the Cold Leaf, are you?" Seeing the flash of cunning in Elder Ling’s eyes, Wan Quan was taken aback.

"Hehe! Based on the Jun Family’s usual actions, if not for the generous reward they offered, I wouldn’t bother refining pills for them. If it is indeed the Cold Feather Leaf that young friend mentioned, I’ll swap it while refining, and at worst, I’ll tell them I botched the concoction and offer some compensation!" Elder Ling said."
