Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 892 - 883: The Mysterious Master

"Hiss..."

Seeing Zhang Mingyuan with a smile on his face and showing an apologetic expression to Mo Wangchen.

All around, everyone present couldn’t help but gasp.

How is this possible?!

This is Master Zhang Mingyuan, the Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Alchemist Alliance!

At this moment, he actually displayed such an attitude towards a young man in his twenties.

Anyone would find it unbelievable!

"What background does this young man have?"

In the crowd, Duan Tao’s heart was pounding, and by now, he was completely panicked. freeweɓnøvel~com

He initially thought that with his relationship with Zhang Mingyuan, the latter would stand up for him.

But he never expected that after Kong Chu whispered a few words in Zhang Mingyuan’s ear, the latter’s attitude would suddenly undergo a drastic change!

"To be able to have Master Zhang call someone a senior, what is the true background of Ji Changkong’s master?"

The crowd was astonished, with expressions of indescribable bewilderment, especially those young people who had just distanced themselves from Mo Wangchen, now they must be regretting it deeply.

"Impossible, right? Master Zhang is the Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Alchemist Alliance, with Holy Rank Three Alchemy Dao Skill. In the entire Xuanwu Alliance, besides the Alliance Hierarch ’Elder Hai’, could there be anyone better than Master Zhang?"

Though it was hard to believe, these words came personally from Zhang Mingyuan’s mouth, leaving no room for doubt unless they were dreaming.

Moreover, for Mo Wangchen to have such extraordinary alchemy skills at such a young age, having a reclusive alchemy master behind him was understandable.

"Little Fellow Ji honored us with your presence; it truly makes our Alchemist Alliance shine. In the past, I once received guidance from your master, which I have always regarded as a pride. Now that you are here, our Alchemist Alliance must surely extend good hospitality to you. Little fellow, would you mind joining me upstairs for a private feast and discussion?"

Zhang Mingyuan extended this invitation to Mo Wangchen, with words appearing extremely courteous, which immediately surprised everyone around.

To receive such an invitation from Master Zhang and have a private feast together, how many people in the entire Xuanwu Alliance could have such qualifications?

Now, a young man barely in his twenties, has achieved it, making others envious!

"Very well, I prefer some quiet." Mo Wangchen nodded and did not refuse, as he still had some words to convey to Zhang Mingyuan.

Zhang Mingyuan laughed heartily and then gestured for Mo Wangchen to lead the way, letting him walk ahead.

Mo Wangchen couldn’t help but bitterly smile in his heart; Zhang Mingyuan’s demeanor inevitably drew unwanted speculation.

Yet he said nothing more, stepping forward first and heading toward the stairs leading up to the upper floor not far away.

Kong Chu and Zhang Mingyuan followed closely behind, and when passing by Duan Tao, Zhang Mingyuan paused his steps and stopped.

He slightly turned his eyes, looking at Duan Tao with a cold gaze, saying, "Master Duan Tao, as for the matter of refining the Red Fire Pill, you will have to find your own way. If you can’t find another Essence Blood and fail the assessment, our Alchemist Alliance will have no choice but to turn you away."

"Yes...yes! If I can’t find another Essence Blood, I will try to refine other pills and strive to pass the assessment."

Duan Tao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, not expecting that because of a ’Ji Changkong,’ Zhang Mingyuan’s attitude towards him had turned so cold, even to the extent of wanting to turn him away.

This truly left Duan Tao extremely shocked; at the same time, his curiosity and dread towards the mysterious master behind ’Ji Changkong’ grew stronger. He couldn’t help but cautiously ask, "Master Zhang, I wonder..."

"The more you know about some things, the less it benefits you."

Zhang Mingyuan saw through Duan Tao’s thoughts, interrupting him with a sharp glance, like a warning.

Leaving these words, Zhang Mingyuan did not care how Duan Tao reacted and quickly went toward the stairs, catching up with Mo Wangchen.

When the three figures disappeared completely on the stairs, the people around looked at each other in silence, unable to speak due to the shock in their hearts.

"Elder..."

Duan Hao spoke, looking at Duan Tao whose face was full of cold anger.

"Get lost!"

But before he could say anything, Duan Tao shouted angrily, "Now get back to the family immediately, confined for a year, without stepping out of the house. If I find out you take one step out of the Duan Family, I’ll break your legs!"

Duan Tao’s anger was at its peak, with nowhere to vent, except to unleash it on Duan Hao, this junior.

"Yes...yes...I’ll get out right now!"

Facing the elder’s fury, Duan Hao felt wronged but didn’t dare to retort at all. After saying these words, he fled the place in embarrassment.

"Even someone whom Master Zhang addresses as a senior, the mysterious master behind this Ji Changkong must have a formidable background; this young man, my Duan Family probably shouldn’t offend." Only after Duan Hao left did Duan Tao mutter to himself.

At the same time, he was somewhat worried, hoping that ’Ji Changkong’ wouldn’t come causing trouble over today’s matters.

The Duan Family surely fears nothing, but after all, he was but an ordinary elder of the Duan Family, and having some Alchemy Dao Skill, he wasn’t significant within the grand scheme of the Duan Family.

’Ji Changkong’s master has such an astonishing background, if trouble finds the Duan Family, they probably wouldn’t dare to offend easily, and by then, he would likely be used as a scapegoat, which worried Duan Tao the most.

...

At the topmost level of the Pill Tower, there are rooms for meetings. Now, under Zhang Mingyuan’s guidance, Mo Wangchen and Kong Chu arrived here.

"Master Mo, I nearly offended you earlier, please do not hold it against me."

After guiding Mo Wangchen to his seat, Zhang Mingyuan stood respectfully and clasped his hands in greeting.

Seeing his master display such an attitude and address Mo Wangchen as a master, Kong Chu, who had just taken his seat, felt a rush in his heart and immediately jumped up from his position.

He knew, although his master often reminded, never to offend Mo Wangchen, he merely thought that the latter might possess Holy Rank Two or perhaps Three Alchemy Dao Skill.

At most on par with his master, but now Kong Chu realized he was mistaken.

Even his master called him master, which showed that Mo Wangchen’s Alchemy Dao Skill must be far beyond merely Holy Rank Three!

Thinking this way, Kong Chu was overwhelmingly shocked, wondering how in the entire Xuanwu Alliance, in thousands or even nearly ten thousand years, never had there been a Holy Rank Four Pill Master.

And now, the young man in front of him, in his twenties, was very likely the fabled Holy Rank Four Pill Master. How could Kong Chu not be amazed?

Previously, he even addressed Mo Wangchen as brother in jest, but thinking back now, he couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine, fearing that his master might punish him severely if he found out.
