The fact that he left the semi-finished Waste Pill in the Alchemy Pavilion was a momentary oversight, but subconsciously, Mo Wangchen did not want to admit it.
Because he knew that, given his usual behavior and his current age, if he told others he was an Alchemist, it would probably be met with ridicule.
Although he didn't know why the other party had sought him out, until he figured out the other's intentions, Mo Wangchen could only deny it to the end.
Hearing Zhang Hao's words, Mo Wangchen simply displayed the expression of the typical rich, spoiled heir, looking at Zhang Hao with disdain, "Who are you?"
Seeing his punchable face, Zhang Hao suddenly became furious.
Was it just an illusion earlier? How could such a spoiled brat possibly be an Alchemist?
He snorted coldly, "I am Zhang Hao, Young Master of the Zhang Family from Jianye City!"
Zhang Hao?!
Mo Wangchen's heart skipped a beat. He had naturally heard of this name. The other party was once praised as the second most gifted person in Yun Country under the age of twenty, only next to Jun Muqing!
While surprised inside, Mo Wangchen's face remained expressionless, "So what if you're the Young Master of the Zhang Family? This is Fangtian City! I am the Young Master of the Mo Family!"
"You!" Zhang Hao gritted his teeth. With his status, combined with talent far exceeding his peers, who dared to speak to him like this usually? He hadn't expected to be looked down upon by a spoiled brat like this!
How could he endure this?!
Hiss!
A blade-sharp aura suddenly descended upon the courtyard, and Zhang Hao held the sword hilt intending to draw it.
However, he had only drawn half an inch of the blade when Mo Wangchen's face suddenly cooled, and his eyes narrowed, staring directly at him.
"This is the Mo Family. I advise you to understand the situation before taking action!"
Hearing Mo Wangchen's icy words, coupled with the cold glow flashing in his eyes, Zhang Hao inexplicably felt a chill in his heart, as if he were being watched by a powerful figure.
Yes!
Zhang Hao sensed an extremely dangerous aura from Mo Wangchen, a feeling akin to facing a formidable person!
How could this be?!
It was rumored that Mo Wangchen was not only a wastrel but also had meridians incapable of storing Spiritual Power, making him a complete waste. Yet, at this moment, he felt a dangerous aura emanating from the other party...
While shocked internally, even the hand he was using to draw his sword froze in place.
"This boy..."
However, beside him, Master Lin Qing's eyes flashed with several brilliant lights. On Mo Wangchen, he saw an immensely proud aura, one that seemed innate, stemming from an Alchemist!
And not just any Alchemist. A high-rank Alchemist!
Who would have thought that the once-famous spoiled master of Fangtian City, the Mo Family's waste Young Master, had hidden so deeply!
Not only did he understand Alchemy, but judging from the spiritual energy fluctuations in the courtyard just now, his cultivation speed was certainly beyond ordinary. Rumor had it that Mo Wangchen was a waste body unable to store spiritual energy in his meridians, which now appeared to be completely different from what was believed!
"Gentlemen, please calm down..."
Amazed, Master Lin Qing hurried to mediate. Bowing to Mo Wangchen, he said solemnly, "Young Master Mo, let's not speak in riddles. I am certain this pill originated from your hand. I came today purely to learn, with no other intentions!"
Hearing his words, Mo Wangchen finally withdrew his gaze from Zhang Hao and looked at Master Lin Qing. After a moment of silence, he said indifferently, "At least you understand courtesy. Compared to those ignorant kids, you are more agreeable to me..."
"You!" Hearing Mo Wangchen's words, Zhang Hao's face darkened again, about to lose his temper.
Lin Qing quickly stopped him, internally shaking his head with a bitter smile. These youngsters had such fiery tempers, every one more arrogant than the last!
"Speak, what do you want to ask?" Mo Wangchen asked calmly, not even glancing at Zhang Hao.
"May I ask Young Master Mo, what is the name of this pill? What is its purpose?" Master Lin Qing licked his lips, his eyes burning with curiosity. By now, it was evident that Mo Wangchen had tacitly acknowledged his knowledge of Alchemy, and to say such things in front of him, a second-grade Alchemist, his Alchemy Dao skill was indeed superior to his own!
Although many things remained unclear, Lin Qing didn't inquire further. Instead, he took out the semi-finished Waste Pill once again.
"This is a Body Tempering Pill, used to expel impurities from the human body." Mo Wangchen lifted his eyes slightly, only glancing at the pill in Lin Qing's hand indifferently.
"Body Tempering Pill? Expel impurities?" Master Lin Qing was taken aback and then quickly showed surprise on his face.
Such a pill exists?
Though it was acknowledged across the Tian Nan Continent that impurities exist within the human body, to expel all such impurities required a substance known as Bone Marrow Cleansing Liquid, in which one needs to soak for three to five years to fully expel impurities.
But this Body Tempering Pill he had never heard of, could it truly expel impurities?
Mo Wangchen nodded, speaking indifferently again, "Just one pill is needed. After swallowing, all impurities can be expelled. Of course, if you don't believe it, you can consider it my nonsense."
"What?! One pill? Expel everything?!" Lin Qing's face, initially shocked, soon turned to astonishment after hearing Mo Wangchen's words.
How could this be?!
"Master Mo, although I have never seen this pill, if my assumptions are correct, it mainly consists of Boneless Flower and Heavenly Spirit Grass. Boneless Flower is known to have Yin Attribute, and Heavenly Spirit Grass for Yang. In theory..."
Carrying a skeptical attitude, Lin Qing humbly asked again, even changing his address from Young Master Mo to Master Mo!
"Nonsense!" Yet his words were abruptly interrupted by Mo Wangchen's cold snort, "Who told you that Boneless Flower is Yin?"
Uh!
Master Lin Qing was momentarily stunned by the sudden rebuke. The notion that Boneless Flower had Yin Attribute was a consensus among all Alchemists, right?
"Although Boneless Flower grows in extremely cold places, it often grows on the peak of ice mountains. While the mountains are cold, the peaks are exposed to sunlight daily. This flower absorbs sunlight over time, having Yin and Yang attributes!" Mo Wangchen in his past life was a Pill Saint, knowing every medicinal material thoroughly. He didn't expect that Alchemists in Tian Nan Continent were as short-sighted as Lin Qing?
"Yin with Yang..."
Hearing Mo Wangchen's words, Lin Qing's face immediately reflected surprise. He had once seen a high-rank Alchemy Recipe, where almost all main ingredients had Yin attributes, yet included a Boneless Flower.
He could never understand why. Had it not been for the fact that the Alchemist who held the recipe was of the fourth-grade level, he would have suspected it to be a fake recipe!
Now, hearing Mo Wangchen's explanation, Lin Qing immediately came to a realization...
