"What kind of resources do you need?"
Mo Wangchen was curious, as he knew he would leave the Xuanwu Alliance sooner or later.
"Immortal stones, a large amount of them. Besides, we also need the nod of approval from Xuan Emperor City," Zhang Mingyuan said.
"Is that so..."
Upon hearing this, Mo Wangchen slightly frowned. The Immortal Stone was not a big issue, but obtaining approval from Xuan Emperor City seed not that easy?
Undoubtedly, Xuan Emperor City was the supre existence of the Xuanwu Alliance, where one of the seven current Holy Emperors resided.
Many people spend their entire lives unable to make contact with it.
Yet Mo Wangchen also understood that, for matters such as using the Teleportation Array, it wouldn’t require the Emperor Xuansheng’s personal nod, though whoever it might be wouldn’t be just any ordinary person.
"Given the current status of my Alchemist Alliance, if Master Mo wishes to use the Array, an old man like putting in a word would still get us favor from Xuan Emperor City," Zhang Mingyuan smiled confidently.
"Hehe, then I might have to trouble Master Zhang when the ti cos," Mo Wangchen said, raising his glass and toasting to Zhang Mingyuan from a distance.
"By the way, if I don’t participate in this assessnt, is there any other way for to join the Alchemist Alliance?" After so thought, Mo Wangchen suddenly asked.
Zhang Mingyuan and Kong Chu were both stunned, unable to imdiately understand Mo Wangchen’s aning.
"I an, does the Alchemist Alliance have a place for a solo assessnt? After all, when refining a Creation Profound Pill, I can’t guarantee the pill’s grade upon formation. If it’s too high, it might cause so trouble, and I don’t want to attract too much attention."
"Master Mo, you truly think things through."
Zhang Mingyuan nodded and then laughed, "Given your status, the Alchemist Alliance can naturally conduct a solo assessnt for you."
"Then it’s settled. I won’t participate in tomorrow’s assessnt. After it’s done, the Alliance will hold a solo assessnt for ," Mo Wangchen said.
"I will make proper arrangents," Zhang Mingyuan replied.
"Old fellow, I’ve heard that you’re having a private banquet here. Why is that? It’s not like you to dislike lively scenes. Who’s here that’s making you go to such lengths?"
Just then, soone pushed open the room’s door, and a hearty laugh echoed in.
Mo Wangchen and the others instinctively looked towards the voice, seeing an elderly man in white robes stepping in slowly.
The elder’s hair and beard were all white, his face thin and withered, showing a sense of weariness from years past. His white robe was open, and underneath, he wore a tight-fitting hemp garnt, giving him a dusty but indescribable ethereal and immortal aura.
Upon seeing this elder, Mo Wangchen’s heart couldn’t help but tremble. This person’s perception might not match his, but his cultivation was likely at least at the True Immortal Realm level.
"You old geezer, why aren’t you holding the fort downstairs, and instead, you ca up here too?"
Zhang Mingyuan was stunned for a mont, then stood up and welcod the white-robed elder to the empty seat beside him.
"What are you talking about? In the whole grand Alliance, is there anyone else capable of maintaining the scene besides the two of us?" the white-robed elder sat down, speaking in a teasing manner.
After his words fell, his nose amusingly twitched as if he had slled sothing usually difficult to detect.
"Wow, my dear Master Zhang, I’ve begged countless tis for a sip of the ’Nine Heavens Divine Brew,’ yet you never gave one. But today, you took it out to drink by yourself. No wonder you didn’t want to stay on the second floor. You’re too selfish!"
After finishing speaking, the white-robed elder swiftly extended his hand, quickly snatching the jug of fine wine from the table like a hungry wolf.
Without saying a word, he lifted the lid and, under the astonished gazes of Mo Wangchen and the others, drank the entire jug in one go.
"Burp..."
Afterward, he didn’t forget to let out a satisfied belch and exhaled a long breath, "Good stuff, as expected of the Nine Heavens Divine Brew. I haven’t had a drop for almost half a year, it’s refreshing!"
After a hearty laugh, the white-robed elder turned his eyes towards Zhang Mingyuan and shook the empty jug in his hand, asking, "Is there more? Let’s have another round."
"Get lost!"
Zhang Mingyuan’s face turned green, clearly distressed. The Nine Heavens Divine Brew was his treasured wine that he usually couldn’t bear to drink himself. Today, with Mo Wangchen present, he had taken out a jug.
Unexpectedly, after only a few glasses between the three of them, the rest of the jug had been gulped down by soone else. His heart ached as he said, "This is the Nine Heavens Divine Brew, made from dozens of different herbs and aged underground for a thousand years to reach its best flavor. Each drop is worth its weight in gold, you wasteful old geezer, I, I, I..."
Zhang Mingyuan was breathless with anger, pointing at the white-robed elder but unable to say anything in the end.
On the side, Mo Wangchen was slightly surprised. While drinking the wine earlier, he noticed sothing different. One cup down, it felt as if all the Spiritual Power within him was ignited, greatly enhancing his cultivation in this state.
He initially thought it was just an ordinary fine wine from the Alchemist Alliance, but it turned out to be Zhang Mingyuan’s treasured collection, with each drop worth its weight in gold.
"Co on, don’t be so stingy. We have guests here, you know. After all, you’re the Vice Alliance Hierarch, so keep up the good image," the white-robed elder said earnestly.
Keep up the good image?
Zhang Mingyuan felt like crying without the tears to shed. Easy for you to say when my thousand-year-aged wine was gulped like plain water, yet you tell to maintain the image?
"So, aren’t you going to introduce ?"
The white-robed elder paid no attention to Zhang Mingyuan’s reaction, for the first ti focusing his gaze on Mo Wangchen.
He had heard so rumors and knew what had happened earlier on the second floor of the Pill Tower. Aside from Zhang Mingyuan and Kong Chu, this white-clothed youth was soone he hadn’t seen before.
"Greetings, Alliance Hierarch!"
Kong Chu had been sitting beside Mo Wangchen. Although he had not initially understood what happened, after observing the white-robed elder and his master making mischief,
he quickly stood up respectfully, and greeted with clasped hands.
"Alliance Hierarch?"
Mo Wangchen was surprised inwardly. He had already vaguely guessed the white-robed elder’s identity.
"No need for formalities with , sit down," the white-robed elder gestured for Kong Chu to sit, exuding a very approachable and friendly deanor.
"This is our Alchemist Alliance’s leader, Elder Hai."
Zhang Mingyuan also stood up, introducing Mo Wangchen with a smile.
Then he pointed towards Mo Wangchen and said to Elder Hai, "This is Mo... er... Ji Changkong, you might have heard of his na."
