631 Selected by Minister Wen, Marquis Wu’s Recruitment (2)
The Dao of the sword could dominate the world and break through the barriers of heaven and earth. The Dao of Confucius could confer deity titles with a single statement. The Dao of alchemy had even developed several methods that could change the structure of the Dao of Alchemy.
Could it be that Minister Wen also had the intention to leave behind his legacy?
However, Minister Wen had already become a Sage in the Heavenly Mystic world. What chance did outsiders have?
Unless Minister Wen wanted to leave the Heavenly Mystic?
He didn’t know.
Qin Suyang did not dare to guess at all.
Walking out of the Alchemy Division, he only had eyes for alchemy cultivators.
“Junior Sister, the Patriarch and Fairy Peony are also here. We should go and pay our respects,” Han Muye looked at Mu Wan and said softly.
The Mu family’s patriarch and his Dao companion, Fairy Peony, had indeed arrived at the Imperial City.
They came with the Han Family Trading Company’s caravan and went to the alchemy mill to find their old friends.
They knew that Han Muye and Mu Wan had opened a small shop, but they had yet to meet.
Hearing Han Muye say that he was going to see the Mu family’s patriarch and Fairy Peony, Mu Wan blushed and nodded in agreement.
Back then, she had followed Han Muye from the Southern Wasteland to the Central Continent without any hesitation. She had only sent a letter to her family.
Now that she saw the patriarch and Fairy Peony, she felt shy, like an eloping girl.
Han Muye smiled and held Mu Wan’s hand. They boarded the carriage and headed for the Jade Alchemy Mill.
When the Mu family’s patriarch was traveling back then, he had met a few alchemists and they had a good relationship.
When the carriage arrived at the alchemy mill, Han Muye led Mu Wan out of the carriage and found a three-story pavilion.
“Caoling Pavilion, this is the place.”
Looking at the plaque, Han Muye nodded.
The two of them walked to the door, and a shop assistant came to receive them.
Han Muye and Mu Wan gave the Mu family’s patriarch’s name, and the shop assistant quickly went to inform the owner.
After a while, the Mu family’s patriarch walked over excitedly.
Behind him, Fairy Peony followed with a smile.
“Haha, Little Han, you kidnapped my Wan’er. I haven’t looked for you yet.”
Mu Wan blushed and did not dare to look up.
Han Muye was very thick-skinned. He cupped his hands and bowed.
The Mu family’s patriarch looked at Mu Wan and saw that she was not haggard. Her cultivation and alchemy strength seemed to have become much stronger. He could not help but smile.
He did not really want to blame Han Muye.
In the Western Frontier, the Nine Mystic Mountain’s Sword Pavilion Elder, Han Muye, had a first-class status.
If the Mu family wanted to continue staying in the Western Frontier, it was impossible for them to offend Han Muye.
Besides, their descendant’s relationship with Han Muye was consensual. The Mu family’s patriarch couldn’t wait to see them together, so how could he really blame them?
“Quick, my old friend is refining pills. Come and take a look.”
The Mu family’s patriarch reached out and pulled Han Muye’s sleeve.
Fairy Peony walked forward and held Mu Wan’s wrist. She said softly, “Silly girl, how are you?”
Mu Wan nodded. There was sweetness in her heart, but it also seemed to be a little sour.
Fairy Peony sighed softly and said, “That’s what I felt when I made up my mind to return to the Western Frontier with my husband.”
As she spoke, she smiled and said, “But we’re cultivators. We have a lot of lifespan. We should look forward. We naturally have to fight for the person we love.”
With that, she lowered her voice and leaned forward. “Tell me, did you win?”
Mu Wan quickly nodded with a red face.
Fairy Peony smiled and pulled Mu Wan towards the pill refinement area.
After entering the alchemy room, they saw that there were already more than 10 alchemists observing.
Recently, most of the alchemists in the Alchemy Division were outsiders. Not many of the local alchemist mills’ masters went there to join in the fun.
Seeing Han Muye, Mu Wan, and the others come, the alchemists only took a look and turned around.
Naturally, the official alchemists and two or three alchemy masters did not know Han Muye and Mu Wan.
In front of him, an alchemist in a long black robe was sitting cross-legged. The alchemy fire in front of him rose.
“Brother Zheng Shan is a peak Alchemy Grandmaster. He’s one step away from entering the Grandmaster Realm.
“Today, he refined a seventh-grade Golden Jade Flowing Flame Pill. It’s a pill suitable for fire-type cultivators.
“The Central Continent’s alchemy is indeed much stronger than our Western Frontier. Look at Brother Zheng Shan’s fire control technique. It’s an extremely rare balance.”
The Mu family’s patriarch seemed to be afraid that Han Muye and Mu Wan would not understand, so he hurriedly explained in a low voice.
Some of the surrounding alchemists revealed looks of joy. Some revealed slight arrogance, while others revealed impatience.
Han Muye smiled and nodded.
Mu Wan did not speak either.
Ever since Mu Wan came to the Imperial City, she would consult Baili Xinglin every other day. Her alchemy cultivation had improved a lot.
She also had that jade token. She could directly go to the Alchemy Division’s library to read the books and records and check out the insights recorded by her predecessors.
In the past year, her foundation in alchemy was already worlds apart from before.
Looking at the pill cultivation technique in front of her, she felt that it was very ordinary.
“Young people have to be humble and think about it. There’s a lot of knowledge in alchemy.”
A white-bearded elder standing at the side said.
“This is Fellow Daoist Liu Zihong. He’s also an old friend of Peony and I. We’re currently staying in his alchemy house,” the Mu family’s patriarch said in a low voice.
Han Muye and Mu Wan nodded.
The alchemist named Liu Zihong frowned slightly but did not say anything else.
A moment later, Zheng Shan, who was sitting in front, began to collect the pills.
His pill retrieval technique was mixed with some pill transformation techniques, but it was a pity that he was not proficient enough. In the end, the pill did not turn into clouds, but became half limp.
However, Zheng Shan’s face was filled with joy. He held the pill in his hand and said happily, “The pill has softened this time. Looks like I’m not far from turning the pill into clouds.”
Hearing his words, the surrounding alchemists revealed envious expressions.
“Brother Zheng Shan, you’re ahead of us.”
“Hey, Brother Zheng Shan, your pill really looks like a pill.”
“Senior Zheng Shan’s alchemy talent is really extraordinary.”
…
Amidst the compliments, Zheng Shan walked forward with a smile.
“These are your juniors, Fellow Daoist Mu?”
Zheng Shan looked at Han Muye and Mu Wan and chuckled.
Seeing the Mu family’s patriarch nod, Zheng Shan placed the pill in his hand into a jade bottle and handed it over.
“Since you’re Brother Mu’s juniors, I’ll be arrogant and call myself an elder.
“Take this gift.”
A welcome gift.
It was a grade-seven pill that he had just refined.
This grade-seven pill, which already had the resonance of a pill, was estimated to cost 100,000 spiritual rocks.
Currently, most people in the Imperial City favored the new method of pill refinement. Regardless of the medicinal effects, the price had to be doubled first.
All the alchemists present revealed envious expressions that he was giving away such a precious pill.
Only an expert like Zheng Shan, who had a profound alchemy cultivation and was only one step away from becoming a Grandmaster, would have the right to give gifts like this, right?
Looking at the pills sent forward, the Mu family’s patriarch grinned and said, “Brother Zheng Shan, isn’t this too expensive?”
Hearing his words, Zheng Shan shook his head and said, “Brother Mu, it’s not easy for you to come from the Western Frontier. This medicinal pill might be precious in the Western Frontier, but it’s nothing in the Central Continent.”
Mu Wan turned to look at Han Muye, feeling a little embarrassed to take the pill.
Liu Zihong, who was standing at the side, said, “Take it. Observe this pill more. It’s beneficial to your alchemy cultivation.”
Mu Wan hesitated for a moment and reached out to take the pill.
“By the way, I heard from Brother Mu that you came to the Imperial City a year in advance to open a small shop. I wonder where the shop is. What’s its name?” Liu Zihong casually turned to look at Han Muye.
Do alchemists from the Southern Wasteland have the right to open a pill shop?
With their meager wealth, how can they afford to rent a shop in an alchemy mill?
The surrounding people looked curious.
Could it be that he was helping someone and pretending to have opened a shop?
“In Moon Viewing Town,” Han Muye said softly.
“Click—”
Zheng Shan’s hand, which was holding the jade bottle, trembled. The jade bottle fell to the ground and rolled to the side.
The Mu family’s patriarch frowned and waved his hand, summoning the jade bottle.
He really did not know much about the shop opened by Mu Wan and Han Muye.
He had rushed from the Western Frontier to the Central Continent. How could he have the time to understand this?
At this moment, Zheng Shan’s absent-minded expression and the expressions of the people beside him puzzled the Mu family’s patriarch.
No matter what, Mu Wan and Han Muye were their juniors, so they could not be underestimated by outsiders.
“Brother Zheng, is there a problem?” The Mu family’s patriarch looked at Zheng Shan.
Is there a problem?
There was.
Zheng Shan tidied his clothes and looked at Mu Wan and Han Muye. “Is Fairy Mu Wan meeting Mr. Mu Ye in person?”
Mu Wan and Han Muye nodded.
Zheng Shan hurriedly bowed. “Greetings, sir.”
Everyone in the world who cultivated the Pill Destiny Pavilion’s Pill Transformation Technique had to call him ‘sir’.
The Mu family’s patriarch opened his mouth and turned to look at Han Muye and Mu Wan.
Then he saw the alchemists around him bow.
“Greetings, sir.”
