Mo Wangchen did not say much, he simply lined up at the back of the crowd.
At the front, Elder Dan was inspecting everyone’s Alchemy Dao Grades one by one. Overall, most people qualified to participate in the competition.
The person who was just thrown out could only be considered an exception.
There were also a few with Ninth Grade Mortal Rank skill, but their perception barely reached Holy Rank, and they were granted eligibility to participate.
It must be said that this Alchemy competition held by the Pill Tower truly attracted many Alchemists.
Not only from within Ning State, but also from various states of the Ming Land, many well-known Alchemy Dao Masters appeared.
After Mo Wangchen, many more arrived in succession, lining up behind him, waiting for the pill assessnt.
Finally, two quarters of an hour had passed.
"Hmm?"
It was Mo Wangchen’s turn. Elder Dan’s indifferent gaze swept over him, and then a hint of surprise appeared on his face, "So young? Are you also here to participate in the competition?"
Obviously, to Elder Dan, Mo Wangchen seed too young, and logically, it was unlikely he could be a Holy Rank Alchemist.
"Not bad, not bad. Within our Ming Land, there aren’t many young Alchemists. Recently, only a few have dared to register with this old man, and you’re one of them. To encourage young people like you, this old man once said that as long as you possess Ninth Grade Mortal Rank skill, you may participate in the competition."
He was a highly respected Alchemy Dao Master within Ming Land, and naturally, he wanted to care for the young Alchemy talents, not requiring them to reach First Grade Holy Rank, but allowing them to participate with Ninth Grade Mortal Rank skill.
"Elder Dan, I indeed wish to participate in the Alchemy competition."
Mo Wangchen nodded, completely ignoring Zhu Quan, who was standing behind Elder Dan and constantly signaling at him.
"So promising. Extend your hand, let this old man check if your perception is up to par."
Elder Dan nodded approvingly, showing a mysterious fondness for Mo Wangchen, who seed to be a rising star in the Alchemy Dao.
"Buzz..."
Without much thought, Mo Wangchen extended his palm. Elder Dan then tapped a finger onto the center of it.
In the next mont, an invisible perception force followed his palm, probing inward swiftly and swept across Mo Wangchen’s Divine Palace.
"Oh?"
Within just a fleeting mont of probing Mo Wangchen’s Divine Palace, Elder Dan couldn’t help but exclaim, "Such a profound perception of First Grade Holy Rank? And it carries a montum, as if about to break through. So young yet already at the peak of First Grade Holy Rank Alchemy Dao skill, truly remarkable! What is your na?"
"What?"
"Peak of First Grade Holy Rank, about to break through to Second Grade?"
"How is this possible? How old is he to have such skill?"
"What’s his na? In Ning State, there’s been no word of such a young Holy Rank Pill Master, has there?"
Around them, many faces couldn’t help but show imnse surprise upon hearing Elder Dan’s words.
"Elder Dan, I am Mo Wangchen, not from Ning State, nor the Ming Land, but from the Land of Desolate." Mo Wangchen slightly bowed his hand and said.
His sudden decision to participate in the Alchemy competition was undoubtedly for the sake of that so-called twenty thousand Desolate Energy.
As for why Elder Dan said he was at First Grade Holy Rank, it was actually because Mo Wangchen had suppressed his perception. He didn’t want to attract too much attention, yet the fact that Elder Dan said he was about to break through to Second Grade was indeed due to his high perception, which he forcibly suppressed to First Grade Holy Rank, thus showing such signs.
He initially thought if he suppressed it to First Grade Holy Rank, it wouldn’t attract much attention, but contrary to his expectations, it still caused quite a stir.
Mo Wangchen felt a bit amused in his heart. This was unavoidable. His real perception was already at Ninth Grade Holy Rank, and to forcibly suppress it to First Grade required great effort. Suppressing it further into the Mortal Rank was impossible for him.
"Peak of First Grade Holy Rank?"
Standing behind Elder Dan, Zhu Quan was also visibly shocked.
How could this be? This kid actually possessed Holy Rank Alchemy skill?
Moreover, already at the peak, about to break into Second Grade, which already surpassed himself.
More crucially, Mo Wangchen’s age was so young and had so much room for growth, his talent and potential far outshining his own.
"Tower Master, this young Mo... uh... Master Mo, ca today not only to register for the competition but also wishes to purchase so herbs at our Pill Tower..."
Wiping a bead of sweat from his forehead, Zhu Quan couldn’t help but step forward and whisper beside Elder Dan.
"Purchase herbs?"
Hearing this, Elder Dan couldn’t help but pause for a mont, looking at Zhu Quan, "Isn’t this sothing you can handle? Why co to tell ?"
Zhu Quan replied, "Because the herbs Master Mo wishes to purchase are not ordinary, and the quantity is considerable..."
"Elder Dan, here’s the list of herbs I wish to purchase."
Speaking, Mo Wangchen handed over the list he held.
Elder Dan glanced at it and then furrowed his brow slightly, "These are indeed all high-level herbs, and there are eighteen varieties in total..."
"Among these eighteen herbs, more than half are quite precious and their value is not low. Among them, Nine Dragons Root, Mother Clove, Grass Fruit... these types are used for refining pills above Third Grade Holy Rank. What do you need these herbs for, young friend?"
He couldn’t help but wonder, could Mo Wangchen indeed refine pills above Third Grade Holy Rank?
"These herbs are what my master instructed to bring back before I journeyed out."
Naturally, Mo Wangchen wouldn’t admit he needed these herbs for himself. He randomly made up a story, pushing the predicant onto his ’master’ Mo Xuwu.
As expected, hearing this, Elder Dan nodded, not questioning further, "If you could be taught to such a young First Grade Holy Rank Alchemist, your master surely possesses supre skill, a true master of our Alchemy Dao Realm."
"Elder Dan, you flatter too much. Compared to you, my master’s skill is nothing. Moreover, he prefers a quiet life, living in seclusion for years. When I set out, he specifically instructed not to reveal his na to the outside world, so..."
"This old man understands."
Before Mo Wangchen finished, Elder Dan nodded again, even more convinced that the master behind Mo Wangchen was indeed a true recluse.
"This old man is tired today, let’s continue the registration tomorrow."
Saying that, Elder Dan stood up and smiled at Mo Wangchen, "Young friend, co with , this old man will personally help you obtain the herbs."
