“Uh!
It’s this guest…”
The servant originally thought that showing a Jade Token would suffice for Master Su Ye to meet the bearer personally, and assumed Master Su Ye recognized the person.
Unexpectedly, the person stood before him and didn’t even recognize him?
Seeing the servant pointing at Mo Wangchen, Su Ye was momentarily stunned and then spoke in surprise, “Is this Jade Token yours?”
How could it be possible?
That token was a token of identity for a Guest Alchemist of the Alchemist Alliance, and to become a guest, one must at least be a Second Rank Alchemist, right?
How old could this young man in front of him be?
He appeared to be only seventeen or eighteen!
Could it be that at this age, he had already reached the realm of a Second Rank Alchemist?!
“Hehe, I am Mo Wangchen, I greet Master Su Ye,” Mo Wangchen smiled and cupped his hand in salute.
Although inwardly filled with many doubts, the Jade Token in his hand was genuine.
Out of respect for the other’s status, Su Ye also cupped his hands in return, “You’re too kind.
Being able to become a guest of our Alchemist Alliance, young friend, you must already hold the status of a Second Rank Alchemist.
This title of ‘master’ is too much for me to bear.”
Su Ye himself was merely a Second Rank Alchemist.
If the other’s Alchemy Dao skill was on par with his, he indeed would not dare to regard himself as a master.
Moreover, being a Second Rank Alchemist at such a young age, Mo Wangchen’s future achievements in the Alchemy Dao would surely leave him in awe!
“To be honest, I came here today for a stalk of Calming Grass.
I wonder if Master Su Ye has it here?” Mo Wangchen continued with a smile.
“Calming Grass?” Su Ye was taken aback, then fell silent for a moment, as if reflecting on something.
Shortly after, he said, “In the back pavilion, I do have such a stalk.
If the young friend needs it, I shall fetch it for you.”
“Let me accompany Master there,” Mo Wangchen said and then stood up.
He then left the place with Su Ye, under the servant’s reverent gaze.
Who would have thought that the young man he casually received turned out not only to be a Second Rank Alchemist but also a guest of the Alchemist Alliance.
Luckily, he hadn’t underestimated him because of his age earlier, or it might not have been as simple as being driven out of the Alchemy Pavilion.
Thinking thus, the servant couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
…
“Where does the young friend come from?” Along the way to the back pavilion, Su Ye’s heart still brimmed with doubts.
If there really was such a young Second Rank Alchemist in the Alliance, he should have heard of it.
Mo Wangchen smiled, knowing that the other was probing him, “To be honest with Master Su Ye, I come from Fangtian City.
It was only recently under Master Lin Qing’s recommendation that I became an alchemist of the Alliance.”
Hearing his words, Su Ye nodded.
So he had only joined recently, no wonder he hadn’t heard about him.
“Lin Qing?
I’ve heard he seems to also participate in this upcoming Third Rank Alchemist examination?” Lin Qing was also a Second Rank Alchemist.
Though his Alchemy Dao skill was slightly lower than his own, they were both members of the Alchemist Alliance and had naturally met.
“I didn’t expect the young friend, though young, to already be a Second Rank Alchemist.
Truly, as the saying goes, each generation surpasses the previous.
We old lads really are getting old…”
Speaking of the Third Rank Alchemist examination, Su Ye couldn’t help but sigh, having delved into the Alchemy Dao for decades and yet was only a Second Rank Alchemist now.
He had no great confidence in passing the upcoming examination.
Seeing Mo Wangchen, such a young Second Rank Alchemist, he couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
“Does Master Su Ye also intend to participate in the examination?” Mo Wangchen was surprised, as it seemed the servant had mentioned this earlier.
“Yes, though the chance of passing isn’t high, you won’t know the result unless you give it a try…”
“What issue is the master encountering?
Maybe if you tell me, I might be able to offer some help,” Mo Wangchen chuckled, saying.
Hearing these words, Su Ye was stunned.
Although Mo Wangchen was also a Second Rank Alchemist, he didn’t think that the other’s Alchemy Dao skill would surpass his, having studied it for decades.
Yet, not wanting to undermine Mo Wangchen’s face, Su Ye said, “Actually, it’s not a huge problem.
To pass the Third Rank Alchemist examination, one needs to concoct two different kinds of Third Rank Pills.
One of them isn’t too troublesome; it’s mainly the Spirit Transformation Pill.
The success rate of its concoction isn’t even one-tenth…”
“Spirit Transformation Pill?” Mo Wangchen was surprised, not expecting that Su Ye also needed to make a Spirit Transformation Pill for the examination.
“I follow the instructions on the alchemy recipe to the letter, but always at the critical moment, the pill breaks apart, never forming into a pill, and I haven’t figured out why,” Su Ye sighed, this issue having troubled him for a long time.
“If Master doesn’t mind, could you let me see the alchemy recipe?
Perhaps I might spot something,” Mo Wangchen pondered for a moment and then suggested.
Hearing this, Su Ye frowned slightly.
Alchemy recipes were a alchemist’s most precious treasures, and showing them to others was hardly something he’d wish to do.
However, seeing the earnest expression on the other’s face, genuinely wanting to help, and given his status as a Second Rank Alchemist at such a young age, Mo Wangchen might indeed have some talent in this area.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Ye ultimately took out the alchemy recipe and handed it to Mo Wangchen.
Receiving the alchemy recipe, Mo Wangchen carefully examined it, and before long, he identified the issue.
He smiled slightly, pointing to a line of text on the alchemy recipe, “When the medicinal ingredients are about to form into a pill, it is at its most fragile.
Here, it states to maintain the Alchemy Fire for an hour — this is incorrect.”
Seeing that Mo Wangchen seemed to indeed point out a problem after just a glance at the alchemy recipe, Su Ye couldn’t help but be half-skeptical.
He had already studied the alchemy recipe many times and believed it was correct.
Simultaneously puzzled, he cupped his fist and said, “Please teach me!”
Mo Wangchen smiled, glanced up and down at Su Ye, and then spoke, “If my guess isn’t wrong, Master Su Ye uses Warm Fire when concocting pills, correct?”
The so-called Alchemy Fire was a flame conjured from an alchemist’s perception.
There were two types of Alchemy Fire: Warm Fire and Cold Fire.
Most alchemists possessed Warm Fire. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Cold Fire was rare, and what Mo Wangchen possessed was indeed Cold Fire.
A pill concocted using this kind of Alchemy Fire had effects far superior to those concocted with Warm Fire.
“The one who created this alchemy recipe should own Cold Fire, so at the time of forming the pill, they needed to maintain Cold Fire for an hour to successfully form a pill.
The alchemy recipe itself has no issues.
But Master Su Ye uses Warm Fire, which has a higher temperature than Cold Fire; thus, maintaining it for an hour at the critical moment of pill formation would cause all the moisture within the pill to evaporate, leading to its breaking apart and failure in pill formation.”
