Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven

Chapter 1937 - 1928: Fire Calming Pill

"One billion..."

"Over the millennia, across the entire Lizhou land, in all auction venues, I’m afraid there’s never been anything auctioned at such a high price, has there?"

In the venue, many people were still discussing, unable to hide their shock.

This auction would inevitably be recorded in history.

For so many years, I’ve never heard of a single item auctioned at a billion price.

But today, they personally witnessed the birth of history.

...

After acquiring the Tianxuan Grass and Green Feather Flower, the auction continued, with some more items brought to the stage one after another.

But all of these had nothing to do with Mo Wangchen.

He did not linger and directly left the auction venue.

Wandering for a moment in Jueying City, Mo Wangchen finally decided to leave.

He traveled north, heading towards the location of the Absolute Pill Pavilion.

After about an hour, finally, a stretch of mountains appeared in Mo Wangchen’s view.

Among the mountains stood a solitary peak, seemingly isolated, and from a distance, one could vaguely see some buildings atop the peak.

Absolute Pill Pavilion.

This is where their mountain gate is located.

At the foot of the mountain, two disciples responsible for guarding were chatting leisurely.

But sensing Mo Wangchen’s approach, they stopped conversing, stood up and walked towards him.

One of them blocked Mo Wangchen’s path, "This is a restricted area of our Absolute Pill Pavilion’s mountain gate; unauthorized personnel cannot proceed."

Mo Wangchen merely smiled, directly taking out the Jade Token Zuo Yuansheng had given him before, and said, "I was invited here, please report my arrival."

The two were momentarily stunned, then looked at the token in Mo Wangchen’s hand, their faces showing shock.

They recognized this token; it’s one of the rare tokens within the Absolute Pill Pavilion, owned only by Pavilion Master, Great Elder, and a few others.

Who is this person?

He looks about the same age as us, yet possesses this token; surely his background isn’t simple.

The two dared not neglect him, their attitudes quickly changed, and one took the token from Mo Wangchen’s hand and clasped his fists, saying, "Please wait a moment, I’ll go report immediately."

With that, he turned and walked up the mountain, leaving the other to attend to Mo Wangchen.

During this time, Mo Wangchen couldn’t help but observe the mountain gate of the Absolute Pill Pavilion.

He found that the Absolute Pill Pavilion, worthy of being a great sect of Alchemy Dao, had an unusually rich aroma of medicine flowing within it, suggesting that many valuable spiritual herbs were indeed planted within its mountain gate.

Even at the foot of the mountain, Mo Wangchen saw several medicine fields planted with various exotic flowers and grasses.

"Friend, please wait a moment. Senior Brother has gone to inform; he’ll be back soon." The other disciple spoke, trying to chat idly with Mo Wangchen to probe his background and identity.

Unfortunately, Mo Wangchen did not disclose a single word about his name or any personal information.

"Swish!"

Soon, the sound of wind breaking came from atop the mountain, followed by two escape lights flashing by, appearing in front of Mo Wangchen in an instant.

It was Master Chu Yang.

He came along with the disciple who had just gone to report.

But upon seeing Mo Wangchen, Master Chu Yang quickly clasped his fists and greeted him, "I never expected Master to arrive a day early. It’s my poor arrangements that kept Master waiting. I apologize."

"No harm done." Mo Wangchen waved his hand.

As for the two disciples guarding the mountain, they couldn’t help but be shocked.

They speculated that Mo Wangchen’s identity wouldn’t be simple.

But they never imagined that the Great Elder would personally come to greet him.

And that’s not all; how is it that the Great Elder is addressing him as Master at this moment?

Did I hear it wrong?

Not just in the Alchemy Realm, but throughout Lizhou, who could possibly be worthy of such a title from Great Elder Chu?

Moreover, he’s so young; who exactly is he?

"Swish!"

Amidst their surprise and doubt, the wind-breaking sound rose again, a flash of brilliance occurred, and in a blink, another figure appeared.

This was an old man in gray clothes, his hair and beard completely white, and unmistakably, he was the Pavilion Master of Absolute Pill Pavilion, the one known as Pill King, Zuo Yuansheng!

"Greetings, Pavilion Master!"

The two mountain-guarding disciples were immediately stunned, hurriedly bowing in salute.

Curious, they wondered why the Pavilion Master, who seldom ventured out, suddenly came here today?

Zuo Yuansheng ignored them and instead approached Mo Wangchen, bowing deeply under the incredulous gaze of the two disciples, "Master gracing our Absolute Pill Sect with your presence; my failure to welcome you is regrettable. Please forgive me."

"This..."

The two mountain-guarding disciples were completely dumbfounded, standing dumbstruck nearby, as if witnessing something beyond their understanding.

What’s going on?

Their Pavilion Master at Absolute Pill Pavilion, renowned as Lizhou’s Pill King, Zuo Yuansheng, is actually showing such respect to this young man and even addressing him as Master?

Could this be true?

Am I dreaming?

This is Lizhou’s Pill King, whose Alchemy Dao Skill is world-famous, with very few who can rival him.

Yet now, the Pavilion Master shows such reverence to someone so young, which utterly exceeded their imagination.

Finally, amid their puzzled and bewildered gaze, Mo Wangchen was escorted into the mountain gate by Zuo Yuansheng and Master Chu Yang, one on each side.

"Master Mo, the Fire Calming Pill’s alchemy recipe and ingredients are ready. To prevent any mishap, I’ve specifically prepared three sets of ingredients."

Inside a main hall, the three sat down, Zuo Yuansheng handing an alchemy recipe and three sets of ingredients directly to Mo Wangchen.

Fire Calming Pill, a seventh-grade pill from the Divine Realm, extremely difficult to refine. Even for someone like Zuo Yuansheng, known as Pill King, he has no assurance of successful refinement.

Mo Wangchen nodded, briefly scanning the alchemy recipe and ingredients, then said, "Let’s not rush to refine. Take me to see the old Pavilion Master’s condition, so I can better gauge the medicine strength of this Fire Calming Pill during refinement."

The effect of Alchemy Fire attacking the heart is no minor matter, requiring an exceptionally matching medicinal strength to effectively cure it.

If the medicinal strength is too strong, it would backfire; if too weak, it would be ineffective.

Therefore, before refining the pill, Mo Wangchen deemed it necessary to check the old Pavilion Master’s condition.

Zuo Yuansheng understood this reasoning, nodded, and shortly thereafter, led Mo Wangchen away from the place.

The rear mountain of Absolute Pill Pavilion, within a secluded courtyard.

At this moment, an old man with white hair was sitting under a tree, his eyes appearing distracted, somewhat dazed, seemingly lost in thought.

This was the previous Pavilion Master of Absolute Pill Pavilion, also the mentor of Master Chu Yang and Zuo Yuansheng.

"Master."

The three entered the courtyard, the two masters respectfully bowed to the old Pavilion Master under the tree.

"It’s you. How come you have the time to visit me today?"

The old Pavilion Master snapped out of his daze, looking at his two disciples.
