Chapter 1916: Chapter 1907: Business
With curiosity and doubt in their hearts, everyone soon followed Ruan Xinyu’s lead and entered the courtyard.
Looking around, they saw a large tree in the yard, and beneath it sat a white-robed youth, leisurely sipping tea at this very moment.
"Hm? You are... the Divine King Body, Mo Wangchen?"
As soon as Liu Wuxiang came closer, he couldn’t help freezing for a moment. Very quickly, when he saw Mo Wangchen’s face clearly, the expression on his own face turned to shock.
"What? Mo Wangchen?"
Everyone was startled when they heard this.
Obviously, when it came to this Young Heavenly Emperor whose name had been spreading like wildfire recently, they had long since become familiar with it.
"So it’s Young Master Mo. I’ve heard of you for a long time." Cheng Liang was the first to step forward, cupping his fists with a smile.
As for Mo Wangchen, Linghong Sacred Land had always intended to win him over.
He had simply not expected that he would actually get to meet this rising star here today; this couldn’t help but make Cheng Liang somewhat surprised.
"Elder Cheng Liang, you flatter me. We just met a few days ago," Mo Wangchen said with a smile.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Cheng Liang was stunned on the spot, somewhat confused.
And at this moment, Master Chu Yang, who had remained silent off to the side, couldn’t help speaking up. "Could it be that the recent rumors are true? That Reverse Life Pill Alchemy Recipe from a few days ago was really bought by you?"
"Of course." Mo Wangchen nodded, not hiding anything about it.
Seeing this, everyone’s faces were filled with utter shock.
As early as a few days ago, the news that Mo Wangchen had bid away the Reverse Life Pill had already begun to spread.
But that had only been a rumor. Whether the Alchemy Recipe had really been bought by Mo Wangchen, no one dared confirm with one hundred percent certainty.
"Could it be... the Pill you refined just now... was a Reverse Life Pill?!" Chu Yang was shocked in his heart and couldn’t help speaking again.
If that were really the case, it would simply be too unbelievable.
One had to know, as an Ancient Pill Recipe, the Reverse Life Pill was extremely difficult to refine. Not only was the refining process complicated and cumbersome, it also required the Alchemist himself to possess extremely powerful Perception.
The most important point was that with such an Ancient Pill Recipe, without at least two or three years of research, it was absolutely impossible for anyone to dare attempt refining it, let alone say they could draw down an Alchemy Tribulation and successfully Solidify the Pill.
"It is indeed a Reverse Life Pill."
Mo Wangchen nodded with a smile, then turned his palm and took out one, speaking again, "In fact, this was also my first time refining such an Ancient Pill. I was lucky, and managed to refine it successfully."
"What a dense Reverse Power..."
Everyone was astonished, their eyes staring fixedly at the Pill in Mo Wangchen’s hand.
They could clearly feel an extremely strong Reverse Power emanating from within the Pill.
Rumor had it that after taking a single Reverse Life Pill, one’s chances of successfully breaking through could be increased by at least twenty to fifty percent.
For the various great powers of today’s Heavenly Domain, such a Pill was absolutely in tremendous demand; with it, they could cultivate an unknown number of genius disciples.
"Earlier at the auction venue, this old man carelessly offended Master Mo. I beg you, please don’t hold it against me."
After his astonishment, Chu Yang’s expression turned solemn. He cupped his fists toward Mo Wangchen and even bent at the waist in a bow.
He knew very well that for Mo Wangchen to successfully refine the Pill within just a few days of obtaining the Alchemy Recipe, his attainments in the Alchemy Dao had already far exceeded his imagination.
Even Pill King Zuo Yuansheng might not be able to compare in front of Mo Wangchen.
Chu Yang was panicked and shocked, finding it all unbelievable.
No matter what, he would never have believed that in today’s Lizhou, there would actually be such a giant of the Alchemy Dao.
The most important thing was that the other party was so incredibly young.
If he hadn’t seen the Reverse Life Pill in Mo Wangchen’s hand with his own eyes, even if someone beat him to death, Chu Yang wouldn’t have believed this was real.
"You and I are both people of the Alchemy Dao. A bit of arrogance is understandable, but I hope that in the future, Master can rein in that arrogance somewhat." Mo Wangchen said calmly.
Chu Yang cupped his fists again. "Master is right. Chu Yang has been taught a lesson."
He was like a student admitting his mistake; before Mo Wangchen, he didn’t dare harbor the slightest trace of stubbornness.
He couldn’t help it. One had to know, the young man before him was truly a giant of the Alchemy Dao. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that by virtue of the fact that he could refine the Reverse Life Pill, Mo Wangchen would, in the days to come, be embraced throughout the Heavenly Domain and courted by countless powers.
This was an extremely terrifying kind of influence and appeal, even far above that of their Absolute Pill Sect!
"Master Mo, I wonder if you would be willing to sell that Reverse Life Pill in your hand? My Linghong Sacred Land is willing to name a price to buy it from you. No matter how many Spirit Stones, the price is negotiable." Cheng Liang spoke earnestly.
If a single Reverse Life Pill were put up for auction, it would definitely spark a mad scramble among countless people and could bring enormous profit and renown to their Linghong Auction House.
Mo Wangchen chuckled. "Elder Cheng Liang, I happen to be planning to do a bit of business with you. If you’re interested, we can have a talk."
"Please speak, Master." Cheng Liang said.
"In the near term, I plan to refine a number of Reverse Life Pills and entrust them to your Linghong Auction House to auction on my behalf. Aside from the relevant handling fees, your Linghong Auction House will take ten percent of the auction proceeds, and I will take all the rest. How does that sound?" Mo Wangchen said.
"Truly?"
Hearing this, Cheng Liang was overjoyed. Wasn’t this exactly what he had hoped for?
After his initial delight, he couldn’t help asking, "I wonder how many Pills Master intends to refine?"
Mo Wangchen fell silent for a moment, then said directly, "Given the current situation, I can produce three Reverse Life Pills per furnace. Let’s start by refining thirty Pills, then—ten furnaces in total. At that time, I’ll give twenty Pills to your Linghong Auction House for auction, and as for the remaining ten Pills, I intend to gift them to Xuanling Sacred Land. After all, I was only able to bid for this Alchemy Recipe entirely thanks to Fairy Ruan."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Liu Wuxiang was both shocked and overjoyed.
He had never imagined that such a great fortune would fall into their lap.
Ruan Xinyu merely smiled, then explained to the Great Elder about lending fifty million Spirit Stones to Mo Wangchen. Only then did he come to a sudden realization.
At the same time, he couldn’t help feeling secretly delighted once more. It seemed that the relationship between Mo Wangchen and Ruan Xinyu had already been cemented.
For their Xuanling Sacred Land, this was absolutely a great boon!
Very soon, Mo Wangchen handed the herb list over to Cheng Liang, and asked him to prepare the medicinal ingredients needed for Alchemy.
Cheng Liang had no objections to this, and even felt extremely honored. He patted his chest in guarantee that all the expenses for purchasing the herbs would be fully covered by their Linghong Auction House.
"By the way, everyone, regarding the matter of me having refined the Reverse Life Pill, I must ask you to help me keep it secret. The emergence of the Pill itself can’t be concealed, but I don’t want too many people to know that the Pill was refined by me." Mo Wangchen said.
"Rest assured, Master. Without your permission, we naturally wouldn’t dare spread it around lightly." Everyone nodded seriously.
