Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 811: Chapter 246: Entering the Inner Courtyard, Refining Puppets (First Update)

"Mu Qingge... so you are Mu Qingge." Feng Ping’s eyes were filled with shock that refused to recede. "Aren’t you an Artifact Refiner?"

Mu Qingge, famous as a Holy Level Refiner, even before she topped the Green Talent List.

In the Middle Ancient Realm, the only Holy Level Refiner. How could he not have known?

Mu Qingge smiled lightly, "There’s no rule saying an Artifact Refiner can’t also be an Alchemist, right?"

"..." Feng Ping was speechless. Indeed, there are no rules against it, but this is quite monstrous. Both Alchemists and Refiners are rare talents among the common people, perhaps one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand.

Both artifact refining and alchemy are professions that require deep focus and research.

And her?

So young, she’s already the only Holy Level Refiner, and also the top cultivator of the younger generation. Now, she has revealed her identity as a Divine Level Alchemist. The most terrifying thing is, she possesses the perfect realm that all alchemists dream of achieving.

It seems all the good fortune in the world has gathered upon her.

"Master Feng Ping, have I passed?" The silence behind her and Feng Ping’s quietude in front did not cause any fluctuation in Mu Qingge’s emotions. She simply asked lightly, her tone calm.

Passed?

Is there even a need to ask? Such a peerless prodigy, such a genius... Feng Ping could already imagine the upheaval Mu Qingge would cause upon entering the Inner Courtyard! Those masters who have long secluded themselves in intensive training would not be able to resist coming out to vie for this disciple.

Disciple?

Feng Ping’s mouth twitched suddenly. Mu Qingge is already a Divine Level Alchemist with a perfect realm; who is worthy of being her teacher?

Unless...

Feng Ping’s eyes shifted, he collected his stormy emotions, and said to Mu Qingge with a steady voice, "You’ve passed. From now on, you are a disciple of the Inner Courtyard at the Alchemy Institute. Tomorrow, you shall enter the Inner Courtyard with the other two."

"Thank you, Master Feng Ping." Mu Qingge clasped her fists in a polite gesture, then turned to walk towards Mei Zizhong and Zhao Nanxing.

Below, thousands of people quietly watched the three of them.

With Mu Qingge’s identity revealed, none of them could find words to say. It seemed as if any words they said would be wrong and could not make up for the mockery and sarcasm they previously directed at her.

"Let’s go," Mu Qingge smiled to the two of them.

Since the matter was resolved, there was no reason for the three to stay here.

Mei Zizhong wasn’t one for noise, and Zhao Nanxing was well-aware of the entrance examination procedures of the Outer Court of the Alchemy Institute. Mu Qingge wasn’t particularly interested in them either, so why stay?

The two nodded at the same time and walked out with Mu Qingge.

Wherever they passed, the crowded people quickly stepped aside, making way for them. The three walked through the center calmly, their eyes never landing on those around them.

The figures of the three gradually walked away, disappearing before thousands of people.

The passage opened for them closed once again. Discussions started anew.

"Look, now that’s presence!"

"Truly powerful people are indeed reserved."

"We mocked her so much before, but Mu City Lord didn’t care at all. This is the difference between us. If it were me, I’d probably want revenge."

"Heh, if you did that, you’d be a petty person at best. Mu City Lord’s status and position are already far above ours. If she quarreled with us, wouldn’t it lower her status?"

"Exactly, Mu City Lord is truly a model for us!"

"I’ve decided! From now on, Mu City Lord will be my role model, my idol, my goal!"

"Hmph." Feng Ping let out a cold snort, interrupting the increasingly fervent discussion among the people.

His voice made the surroundings silent again, as everyone watched him nervously.

Nobody knew if he, having been put down by Mu Qingge, would turn to give them a hard time. With Mu Qingge and Mei Zizhong as shining examples, who would dare call themselves a genius now?

Who would still be confident enough to think the Alchemy Institute must take them?

"You all, prepare for the Outer Court entrance examination." Luckily, Feng Ping didn’t give them a hard time as expected, but instead announced the start of the examination.

This made thousands of people quietly sigh in relief.

...

Back at the small courtyard, Zhao Nanxing said to Mu Qingge and Mei Zizhong, "You’ve both had a tiring day, so rest well. Tomorrow, I’ll come to take you to the Inner Courtyard."

"Thank you, Brother Zhao," Mu Qingge smiled.

Zhao Nanxing said, "You’re still so formal with me?"

Saying this, he paused for a moment and reminded, "Once you enter the Inner Courtyard, you can familiarize yourselves first, but generally after six months you have to choose which master to study under. This rule is quite similar to the Medicine Tower."

"Six months later?" Mu Qingge pondered for a moment, and looked up at Zhao Nanxing with clear eyes, "If I remember correctly, the Alchemy Conference is also held around six months from now, right?"

Zhao Nanxing nodded, "Correct. By the time the Alchemy Conference ends, you two will need to choose a teacher."

Mu Qingge smiled and shook her head, "No need, I only plan to stay at the Alchemy Institute until the Alchemy Conference ends."

"What! So soon?" Zhao Nanxing was extremely surprised.

He knew Mu Qingge’s time was tight, but he thought she would stay for about a year, never expecting her to only plan to stay for half a year.

Even Mei Zizhong was slightly surprised, raising his eyes to look at Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge nodded, "I came to the Alchemy Institute to fulfill what I promised the old man of the Medicine Tower, and also to use the Alchemy Institute’s understanding of Alchemy Dao to break through my alchemy skills to enter the Holy Level. Completing these two things in half a year is enough."

She didn’t have absolute confidence to become a Holy Level Alchemist within half a year, but half a year was enough for her to understand the Alchemy of the Alchemy Institute. By then, becoming a Holy Level Alchemist was just a matter of time.

"Alright, you’re always so busy." Zhao Nanxing said with a helpless smile.

After Mu Qingge revealed her plan, Zhao Nanxing looked at Mei Zizhong and asked, "Senior Brother, what about you?"

Mei Zizhong pondered for a moment and looked at Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge said with a smile, "Senior Brother Mei, don’t worry about my side. And don’t worry about the matters in Luoxing City. Since you’ve finally come to the Alchemy Institute, just be with Senior Brother Zhao, Senior Sister Shang, and Senior Sister Zhu."

"Alright." For Mu Qingge’s words, Mei Zizhong was simply obedient to the letter.

"In that case, you two should rest well now. We can discuss everything else after entering the Inner Courtyard tomorrow." Zhao Nanxing said to the two of them.

Afterward, Zhao Nanxing left the small courtyard.

Mei Zizhong had previously overexerted his spiritual sense, and despite the nourishment from Mu Qingge’s elixir, he still appeared tired.

He bid farewell to Mu Qingge and returned to his room to cultivate.

Although Mu Qingge did not feel any fatigue during the previous assessment, a voice urged her to enter the space as soon as she returned to the small courtyard.

She went to her room, closed the door, and, turning around, disappeared in place, entering the space.

"Little Ge’er."

Mu Qingge felt that before her feet were even stable, she was lifted up horizontally by someone.

Her hand naturally circled the man’s neck. She looked in the direction he was walking and asked in surprise, "Where are you taking me?"

Si Mo looked down at her, a faint smile in his amber eyes, "This is your place. Are you worried I might kidnap you?"

Mu Qingge blushed at his teasing.

She wasn’t worried about being kidnapped by him, but rather about this man becoming restless again...

"Rest assured, little Ge’er, I still keep my promise to you."

Cough! Cough!

Si Mo’s words almost made Mu Qingge choke. She looked up at him, only to see the mischievous glint in his eyes.

Damn it! This guy did it on purpose!

Mu Qingge thought angrily to herself.

Just as she was pondering how to turn the tables, Si Mo suddenly put her down.

Mu Qingge stood on the ground, looking in surprise at the two people in front of her, oh no, it should be two corpses.

"I brought these back from the Divine Demon Ancient Battlefield," Mu Qingge said in surprise. Back then, she was worried that an accident might occur during the refining of the God and Demon corpses, or when refining the elixir to resurrect Mu Liancheng, so she brought an extra two corpses back.

Si Mo, having stayed inside her space for some time, found nothing strange about the two corpses.

What was strange was why he brought her over here?

’Could it be that one of these two corpses is a relative of Si Mo’s family?’ Mu Qingge began to wildly imagine things in her mind. She muttered, "Well, I just found them pleasing to the eye and brought them back. If you feel it’s inappropriate, I can find a place to lay them to rest."

Her sneaky little look was so adorable that Si Mo really wanted to look at it a while longer.

However, he couldn’t bear to watch her misunderstand, so he shook his head, "I called you over to tell you there’s a way to bring them back to life, to be at your command."

Mu Qingge’s eyes sparkled, instantly invigorated.

"What way?" She asked eagerly.

Si Mo was very pleased with her genuine self in front of him. This deepened the smile in his amber eyes, and he couldn’t help but reach out and pinch Mu Qingge’s nose.

As she was about to reach out and hit him, he quickly retracted his hand. Casually grabbing her little hand that swung over, he interlocked his fingers with hers, "Little Ge’er, your judgment is not bad. These two, in their lifetime, at least had a cultivation of below the fourth layer of the Saint Realm. If refined into puppets with a secret technique, they could maintain around the Spirit Cave Realm Eighth Layer."

Whoa!

Mu Qingge’s eyes widened suddenly, the depths of her clear eyes filled with astonishment.

Although she did not know exactly what the Spirit Cave Realm Eighth Layer represented, it sounded very powerful! Gu Ya had said those alien races require at least the third layer of the Spirit Void Realm cultivation to be killed.

So, how much is the difference between the Spirit Void Realm and the Spirit Cave Realm?

How many small realms are there within each major realm in this Divine Demon Continent?
