"Buzz..."
Following the instructions of the Jade Emperor, Mo Wangchen gathered the Alchemy Fire using his perception.
The blue, cold flas instantly ignited inside the Pill Furnace.
Unlike other alchemists, Mo Wangchen’s Alchemy Fire was a rather rare Cold Fire.
It was hard to find even one in ten thousand.
The pills refined from this Alchemy Fire had enhancents in various aspects of dicinal efficacy retention.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
Just as the Alchemy Fire ford, he quietly activated the Divine Status within his body, directing a strand of Great Dao Divine Power into the Pill Furnace.
"And then? Which ingredient should go in first?" he asked the Jade Emperor.
"Don’t rush, young man, take your ti, give this emperor a mont to think, alright?"
"I seem to rember it’s this one..."
"No, no, no, when the Supre refined it, the first ingredient added was a red three-leafed flower, why is this ingredient four-leafed?"
"This is called Blood Mother Grass, generally it grows with four leaves, and as it ages, one of the four leaves withers, while the other three absorb the dicinal properties of the withered leaf. The remaining three leaves then have stronger dicinal properties. Three-leafed Blood Mother Grass is much more valuable than four-leafed, worth more than ten tis as much. The ingredients for this competition are all provided for free, so naturally, the Pill Tower wouldn’t supply that much three-leafed Blood Mother Grass."
"Is that so?"
Upon hearing Mo Wangchen’s words, the Jade Emperor was slightly startled and then nodded, "Since it’s all Blood Mother Grass, there shouldn’t be a problem. You should first add it in, infusing a strand of Great Dao Divine Power through your perception, extract the dicinal properties inside the Blood Mother Grass, and refine it into liquid."
Mo Wangchen followed the instructions, proceeding very carefully. After about fifteen minutes, he had successfully extracted it, the dicine liquid appearing deep red, like blood.
"Tower Master, who exactly is this Mo Wangchen, that you would go so far as to severely punish Elder Chen Zheng for his sake?"
anwhile, on a high platform, so Elders of the Pill Tower stood behind Elder Dan. Seeing that Elder Dan’s attention was constantly on Mo Wangchen’s side, soone couldn’t help but ask.
"I don’t really know his exact background. He claims to have co from the Land of Desolate, and there’s no reason for him to lie. I’ve had people investigate, and this child only appeared recently in Ming Land, with no prior activities. He indeed doesn’t seem to be from our Ming Land."
Elder Dan squinted his eyes, curiosity filling his heart. In fact, he was equally puzzled about Mo Wangchen’s background.
After extensive investigation, he learned sothing quite surprising.
Not long ago, an incident related to Mo Wangchen occurred at the Qianyuan Sect.
He consecutively defeated over a dozen elder-level experts of the Qianyuan Sect, and even the Qianyuan Saint Master, a formidable figure who had entered the Late Stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm years ago, was no match for him.
The strength of this Mo Wangchen had undoubtedly reached an unfathomable level.
Most importantly, he possessed such high Alchemy Dao skill, and when he registered, he was accompanied by a Master.
All these factors together made Mo Wangchen appear even more mysterious.
He had a powerful yet unknown alchemist as a Master, and he himself possessed high Alchemy Dao skill and extraordinary Martial Arts Cultivation. No matter how you look at it, Mo Wangchen could not have been trained by an ordinary force.
The Pill Tower has an extensive network in Ming Land, but for soone like Mo Wangchen from elsewhere, investigating his affairs proved difficult.
"Master Chen Zheng is, after all, of the Holy Rank Five-grade skill, treating him like this for a re youngster, wouldn’t he have so grudges?" soone remarked.
Elder Dan shook his head, "No worries, Chen Zheng is just a bit arrogant. He bears no grudges against our Pill Tower. Restricting him for half a year will allow him to focus on studying Alchemy Dao so he can achieve breakthroughs sooner. And this youngster, don’t underestimate him..."
"Does the Tower Master find this Mo Wangchen impressive?"
"He only has Holy Rank One-grade skill, not even as good as An Xu..."
Hearing Elder Dan’s words, curiosity sparked among the other elders.
"Heh, the recipe for the Concentration Pill was circulated from our Pill Tower. He shouldn’t have had access to it before. This ans from the ti he registered until now, he only had three days to research the recipe at ho, yet he got the first step right." Elder Dan’s eyes shone with brilliance.
"Is the Tower Master suggesting that the first step in refining the Concentration Pill is to extract the Blood Mother Grass?"
The crowd was astonished, for they also saw that the first step Mo Wangchen took was to extract the Blood Mother Grass.
"I’ve studied the Concentration Pill for nearly a hundred years, and though I haven’t succeeded, I’ve made so progress. This youngster only studied the recipe for three days and accurately deduced the first step, showing that his talent in Alchemy Dao is certainly not low." Elder Dan nodded.
But how could he know that Mo Wangchen hadn’t even glanced at the recipe during those three days? It was the Jade Emperor doing all the research.
"Over on An Xu’s side, it seems he also chose Blood Mother Grass as his first ingredient, so doesn’t that an his skill is no less than Mo Wangchen’s?" soone ntioned.
Elder Dan shook his head, "Although An Xu also registered two days ago, this competition was announced half a year ago. Back then, An Xu had already visited the Pill Tower to take the recipe back for study. He studied the recipe for half a year, unlike Mo Wangchen."
"And sohow, I have a distinct feeling that Mo Wangchen’s Alchemy Dao skill is not as simple as it appears..."
"Does the Tower Master think Mo Wangchen has hidden his skill level?"
The crowd was shocked. Officially, Mo Wangchen had the skill of a Holy Rank One-grade Peak. If he had indeed hidden his abilities, it ant his skill was at least at Second grade, capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with An Xu?
Faced with the other elders’ doubts, Elder Dan offered no explanation, as it was rely his speculation.
"Boom!"
As ti passed, so began to fail in their refinents.
The materials for a Concentration Pill were gone just like that. The pill furnaces used in this competition were all provided by the Pill Tower, and they were reinforced with forbidden wards. Otherwise, in such failures, so might cause the furnace to explode, with dire consequences.
This was why the Pill Furnaces were supplied by the Pill Tower, instead of letting the alchemists use their own furnaces for refinent.
"Interesting, he’s already onto the fourth ingredient, and all his steps are correct. I’ve researched for nearly a hundred years, and the most I’ve deduced is up to the fifth ingredient. His understanding of pharmacology is truly astonishing."
On the high platform, Elder Dan’s eyes burst with an exceptionally bright gleam as he observed Mo Wangchen begin refining the fourth ingredient in the Pill Furnace.
