"There's something I need to discuss with Chen'er..."
Hearing Master Lin Qing's words, Mo Xiaotian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but a feeling of doubt arose in his heart.
What matter could possibly need Master Lin Qing, with his esteemed status, to seek out Mo Wangchen?
There was absolutely no possible connection between them...
Alchemy?!
Could it be that Chen'er also understood alchemy?!
This thought flashed through Mo Xiaotian's mind but was quickly dismissed. Just the previous day, he'd learned his son's meridians had returned to normal and could start storing spiritual power. It was already an incredible event. If it was said that Mo Wangchen also knew alchemy, even bringing Master Lin Qing to personally seek him out, Mo Xiaotian would truly feel he was dreaming!
Alchemy was, after all, a highly respected profession on the Tian Nan Continent. Among millions of people, only a few could become alchemists.
"Senior Mo, just tell us where Mo Wangchen is, and we will find him ourselves." As Mo Xiaotian became more puzzled, Zhang Hao, sitting beside Master Lin Qing, stood and politely said.
According to Master Lin Qing, if Mo Wangchen's alchemical skills were truly superior, perhaps it would be beneficial in refining Spirit Transformation Pills. So, Zhang Hao was quite eager to meet this prodigal young master.
"And this young friend is...?"
Mo Xiaotian was taken aback. Initially, he thought Zhang Hao was merely Master Lin Qing's servant. However, from Zhang Hao's demeanor, Mo Xiaotian sensed an air of nobility, suggesting a more complicated identity.
"I am Zhang Hao of Jianye City, greeting Senior Mo!" Zhang Hao cupped his hands. In the presence of one of the top experts of Fangtian City, he toned down his arrogance.
"Zhang Hao?" Mo Xiaotian was surprised but quickly recalled something. "Zhang Hao, the son of Zhang Jin of the Zhang Family in Jianye City?!"
No wonder his aura was extraordinary. It was said Zhang Hao was not only Jianye City's foremost genius, but his cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Vein Condensation Realm, close to entering the Spirit Transformation Realm at any time!
Such a formidable person had arrived?! It seemed even less likely he'd be connected with that kid Mo Wangchen.
Moreover, from Zhang Hao's tone, he seemed even more eager than Master Lin Qing...
"What secrets is that boy hiding..."
Mo Xiaotian muttered, though still bewildered, he vaguely sensed there was some hidden truth he was unaware of.
"Xue'er..."
Amid his confusion, Mo Xiaotian called out towards the door.
"Greetings, foster father!" Xue'er came in. She had been listening to the conversation outside the hall and was equally perplexed.
"Take Master Lin Qing and Young Master Zhang Hao to Chen'er." Mo Xiaotian instructed.
Xue'er nodded and then led Lin Qing and Zhang Hao out.
"Looks like I'll have to question that boy later..."
Watching the three people leave, Mo Xiaotian murmured to himself.
...
At this moment, Mo Wangchen was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, with the spiritual energy from heaven and earth surging rapidly towards him, merging into his meridians.
Outside the courtyard, after Xue'er brought Lin Qing and Zhang Hao there, she left directly.
"The spiritual energy fluctuation here..."
Master Lin Qing and Zhang Hao stood outside the courtyard, feeling the unusual spiritual energy in the surroundings. A glint of brilliance flashed in Lin Qing's eyes.
It seemed the rumored prodigal young master of the Mo Family indeed concealed some unknown secrets!
"Is Young Master Mo here?" Master Lin Qing cleared his throat and called out.
"Hmm?!"
The sound reached Mo Wangchen's ears, immediately rousing him from his cultivation state. He frowned slightly, wondering who was looking for him.
"The door isn't locked, come in." In his confusion, Mo Wangchen directly responded.
In the Mo Family, he didn't believe any evildoers could sneak in. Anyone who reached here would have been sensed by his father, unless their power was far above his father's.
Creak!
The courtyard door was pushed open. Mo Wangchen looked up, frowning again.
He did not recognize the two arrivals and was certain that in his memories, he had never seen them!
However, upon seeing the elder, Mo Wangchen's mind was startled. From the elder, he felt an aura no less than his father's. Clearly, this man was also a master of the Spirit Transformation Realm!
And the young man beside the elder, although seemingly the same age as Mo Wangchen, had a formidable aura hinting at breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Realm. Moreover, in the young man's demeanor, there was a hint of extreme sharpness, marking him as a swordsman!
"Who are you...?"
Mo Wangchen stood up and asked with a frown.
"I am the Pavilion Master of the Alchemy Pavilion in Fangtian City, Lin Qing!" Master Lin Qing said with a smile, also respectfully cupping his hands to place Lin Feng on an equal footing with himself.
"Master Lin Qing?" Hearing him introduce himself, Mo Wangchen was taken aback.
Quickly, his heart filled with doubt. He had never been connected to this person. What was the reason for his visit?
"Hehe, does Young Master Mo recognize this pill?" Before Mo Wangchen could speak, Lin Qing flipped his hand, taking out the half-finished Waste Pill from the previous day.
"This is..."
Upon seeing the pill in Lin Qing's hand, Mo Wangchen's eyes widened slightly, seemingly surprised.
Wasn't this a Body Tempering Pill?
Wait a minute, it seemed to be a Waste Pill...
Thinking in his mind, he quickly recalled. Yesterday at the Alchemy Pavilion, he had refined three batches of herbs. The first batch exploded, turning into residue, leaving nothing behind.
The second batch, however, faced a small mishap at the last moment and didn't fully form. He casually left it in a corner...
Looking back now, it seemed like he forgot to take that Waste Pill before leaving the Alchemy Pavilion yesterday?
Seeing the expression on Mo Wangchen's face, Master Lin Qing's heart tightened. Interesting!
It seemed this pill was indeed likely left by Mo Wangchen in the Alchemy Room!
"I don't recognize it!" However, what Lin Qing didn't expect was that Mo Wangchen, after his initial surprise, directly denied it.
Ugh!
Seeing such a straightforward response from him, Lin Qing was momentarily stunned, even swallowing the prepared words he'd had.
"If it's yours, it's yours. If not, it's not. What's so hard for a grown man to admit?" At this moment, Zhang Hao stepped forward.
He naturally spotted that Mo Wangchen was making up stories. Judging by Mo Wangchen's initial reaction, this pill was undoubtedly his handiwork!
