With a servant of the Ye family leading the way, Mo Yu quickly arrived at the main hall. Upon hearing footsteps entering, a few gazes in the room shifted toward him.
Mo Yu spotted Ye Cong, the clan leader, along with the old man Frank, whom he had t briefly at the Mittel auction house, and a beautiful, elegant woman nad Xue i.
As he entered, noticing the subtle expression in Ye Cong's eyes, Mo Yu understood the ssage and nodded in acknowledgnt.
Seeing this, Ye Cong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes. He was well aware of Mo Yu's closed-door efforts to repair the Sixfold Grand Void Sword. Now that the young man had erged, it was ti to find out whether he had succeeded. Mo Yu's nod indicated that the sword was indeed repaired, aning that the family's old patriarch's injuries could fully recover, and the Ye family's standing among the Four Great Families in the northeastern provinces would be unshakable.
Noticing the silent exchange between Mo Yu and Ye Cong, a trace of surprise crossed Frank's face. The young man before him, who seed vaguely familiar, had managed to earn such respect from the leader of the Ye family. It seed he was no ordinary individual.
At that mont, Ye Cong formally introduced them. "President Frank, this is the weapon refining master you wished to et—Mr. Mo Yu. He's also the one in need of the Beast Soul Blood Fusion Pill you possess."
Then he turned to Mo Yu. "This is Frank, president of the Black Rock City Alchemist Guild, and his apprentice, Miss Xue i."
After the introductions, Mo Yu stepped forward and bowed slightly. "Mo Yu, at your service, Master Frank and Miss Xue i."
"Oh? So, you are the refining master invited by Clan Leader Ye. He ntioned you were young, but I never imagined you'd still be a teenager—truly surprising. If I'm not mistaken, this isn't our first eting, is it? I rember seeing you draped in a black cloak before." As Mo Yu approached, a flash of realization crossed Frank's face, and he chuckled.
Xue i's eyes blinked in recognition. She suddenly recalled the mysterious cloaked figure who had astonished her ntor at the Mittel auction house. It turned out to be this young man, so close in age to herself.
"Heh, I only had a brief encounter with Master Frank that day. I'm surprised you rembered ," Mo Yu replied with a faint smile, slightly taken aback by the recognition.
After exchanging pleasantries, Mo Yu glanced at Ye Cong, wondering why Frank had personally co to deliver the pill when he had already entrusted the matter to the Ye family. Did they expect him to pay for it directly?
Noticing Mo Yu's questioning gaze, Ye Cong could only respond with a wry smile. Initially, he was close to finalizing the purchase of the Beast Soul Blood Fusion Pill, but Frank insisted on eting Mo Yu upon learning that the buyer was a refining master.
"This matter isn't Ye Cong's fault," Frank explained, "It was I who requested this eting upon hearing that the buyer of the pill was a refining master."
"May I ask where Master Mo Yu received his training? Who is your teacher?" Frank inquired further.
Refining skills, much like alchemy, typically required a ntor for proper guidance. It was rare to find soone self-taught in such arts. Given Mo Yu's young age, Frank assud he must have an accomplished ntor.
Mo Yu raised an eyebrow at the question and casually fabricated an answer. "My ntor is Sikong Zhen. He's a wanderer who roams the continent freely, so it's not surprising that few have heard of his na."
"Sikong Zhen?" Frank blinked in confusion, ntally sifting through his mories but unable to recall such a person.
The Dou Qi Continent was vast, with many hidden talents who preferred to remain obscure. Though Frank was a fourth-tier alchemist, he was mainly known within the Jia Ma Empire.
He accepted the na without further question, while Ye Cong also committed it to mory—knowing that soone who could train a disciple as skilled as Mo Yu must be a formidable refining expert, likely on par with renowned alchemists like Gu He.
While they pondered the supposed ntor's identity, Mo Yu turned his attention back to Frank. "I have a three-star magical beast that is currently undergoing an evolution. It has absorbed the bloodline of a higher-ranked beast, so it requires a fourth-tier Beast Soul Blood Fusion Pill. I assu Master Frank is aware of this. What price do I need to pay for the pill?"
Mo Yu suspected that Frank had co in person because he valued Mo Yu's status as a refining master, rather than because the Ye family couldn't afford the paynt.
Hearing that Mo Yu indeed had a magical beast on the verge of advancing to four stars, Frank clicked his tongue in admiration. A creature of that level would be equivalent to a human Dou Ling, requiring careful handling even from him.
With such a powerful companion, Mo Yu's background must be impressive.
Frank took a slow sip of tea handed to him by a Ye family servant and then spoke. "A fourth-tier pill is precious, yes, but it is not priceless to . I am willing to give it to you for free—if you can assist with a certain matter."
As he spoke, he took out a jade bottle from his storage ring. A deep-red pill rolled out, glowing with a faint crimson hue. A subtle, powerful aura emanated from it, exuding an intimidating beastly presence.
"The Beast Soul Blood Fusion Pill..." Mo Yu's eyes lit up at the sight of the pill. With it, Zi Huo would be able to absorb the mysterious beast remains within half a month and successfully evolve.
"What kind of assistance does Master Frank require?" Mo Yu asked.
Frank chuckled. "Don't worry, I won't ask you to do anything overly dangerous. In fact, it's a favor I need for my apprentice."
"Oh?" Mo Yu turned his gaze toward Xue i, intrigued by what the reserved yet elegant young woman could need that was worth a fourth-tier pill.
Xue i's bright eyes flickered curiously at Mo Yu, wondering what assistance her ntor might seek from this young man. Though he carried an air of mystery, she couldn't imagine what role he could play. A sudden thought made her cheeks flush lightly, as a certain possibility crossed her mind—could it be that?
Frank continued with a smile. "My disciple, Xue i, is not originally from the Jia Ma Empire. She hails from the neighboring Mu Lan Empire. I discovered her during one of my travels, impressed by her unique talent, and took her as my apprentice. Recently, her family sent a letter reminding her of a marriage engagent made in her childhood with another family. They want her to return to fulfill the arrangent. As you might imagine, I have grown quite fond of my apprentice, and she hardly knows this fiancé they speak of. So..."
At this, Frank fixed his gaze on Mo Yu, the implication clear in his eyes.
Mo Yu raised an eyebrow, feeling like he had heard a familiar story. With a half-joking tone, he asked, "Master Frank, you wouldn't happen to want to pose as Miss Xue i's lover to break off the engagent, would you?"
To his surprise, Frank slowly nodded, while Xue i's cheeks turned a faint shade of pink.
