Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 916 - 907: Fang Xinyue’s Invitation

"Brother Ji, you’re too humble..."

Their eyes met, and in his gaze,

Fang Xinyue saw a kind of purity, clarity.

This was completely different from the way other men looked at her.

For some reason, a sense of frustration rose in Fang Xinyue’s heart.

Could it be that she wasn’t attractive enough?

This thought flashed through her mind and quickly vanished, making Fang Xinyue’s face slightly red. How could she have such a strange thought?

At that moment, she diverted her gaze and said calmly, "How did Brother Ji come to know Fang Han?"

"The Alchemist Alliance."

Mo Wangchen said softly. Fang Xinyue wasn’t as annoying as he had imagined.

However, she was after all Fang Tianyu’s daughter, opposing Fang Han’s faction, and as Fang Han’s master, he stood on a different side.

"Brother Ji also knows Alchemy?" Fang Xinyue’s face showed slight surprise.

Mo Wangchen smiled, rare humility on his face, "I know just a little."

Receiving his confirmation, not only Fang Xinyue but also the young members of the Fang family around showed surprise.

To easily defeat Fang Zhou and also know Alchemy was not something ordinary people could achieve.

However, it was uncertain what grade his Alchemy Dao skill was.

If he reached Mortal Rank Ninth Grade like Fang Han, then clearly, this young man named Ji Changkong could be considered both a martial and alchemical prodigy!

But evidently, none of them thought in that direction, as in their view, Mo Wangchen’s Martial Arts strength was not weak, and even if he knew Alchemy, his skill shouldn’t be that high.

"Brother Ji, having traveled so far, our Fang family hasn’t had the chance to host you yet. Would you be willing to accompany me to Daoxiang Garden? Today, I will be entertaining some friends there." Fang Xinyue suddenly said.

"Friends?" Mo Wangchen was taken aback.

Fang Xinyue laughed, "For the Holy Emperor’s 800th birthday, geniuses from Donglin City and nearby cities will gather at our Fang family today. We were planning to travel together to Xuan Emperor City then."

"I see."

Mo Wangchen nodded. Being able to attend the grand birthday of Emperor Xuansheng showed that the young people visiting the Fang family today were likely not ordinary mortals.

But it seemed to have nothing to do with him, so he shook his head and refused, "I fear I won’t have the time..."

"Oh? Does Brother Ji have other matters to attend to?" Fang Xinyue was curious.

Mo Wangchen immediately realized that extracting the Ice Cold Energy from Fang Yuan’s body was something the other party mustn’t know. He amended his words, "Fine, going might not be a bad idea."

"The gathering will be held at sunset in Daoxiang Garden. It would be an honor to welcome Brother Ji’s arrival then," Fang Xinyue said with a smile.

Mo Wangchen could easily defeat Fang Zhou, which was far beyond her expectations. She was genuinely curious about how he managed to catch the Xuanbing Divine Spear barehanded just now.

The most likely assumption was that this Ji Changkong in front of her might possess some unknown mysterious physique.

With an early stage Void Immortal Realm cultivation and such a powerful special physique, Ji Changkong could definitely be considered a remarkable figure among the younger generation in the Xuanwu Alliance.

But why hadn’t she heard of him before?

That was why she invited Mo Wangchen to the gathering at Daoxiang Garden, hoping to ’inquire’ more from him indirectly.

...

Soon after leaving Fang Xinyue, Mo Wangchen left the bamboo grove.

He walked towards the small courtyard to the east and soon arrived there again.

"Master!"

Fang Han had arrived early. Seeing no one in the courtyard, he felt a sense of unease, fearing Mo Wangchen might have gone somewhere inappropriate and caused trouble.

Seeing him return safely, Fang Han breathed a sigh of relief and approached, "Master just now..."

"Oh, I just took a walk around," Mo Wangchen replied with a smile.

Fang Han inquired, "Did anything happen?"

"Not really, just ran into your cousin Fang Xinyue..."

He briefly recounted the events that had transpired in the bamboo grove.

"She invited you to Daoxiang Garden?" After hearing it all, Fang Han couldn’t help but frown.

"Why?" Mo Wangchen was curious.

Fang Han shook his head, "Oh, it’s just that those attending the gathering are prodigies from the ancient martial families of nearby cities, and I’m worried they might cause trouble for you at the gathering."

"It’s okay." Mo Wangchen waved his hand, indifferent.

Then he continued, "It’s getting late. Let’s go heal your father now."

With that said, the two of them headed towards the courtyard where Fang Yuan was located.

"Father, Elder Qiu."

Entering the room, Elder Qiu was attending to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan’s complexion noticeably improved compared to yesterday and he could now sit up.

"You’re here."

Fang Yuan smiled kindly, and it was evident that during his coma, Fang Han had been greatly concerned.

"How do you feel now, Senior?" Mo Wangchen asked.

"Compared to yesterday, much better for sure, and my cultivation has recovered a bit. However, I’ve been unconscious for so long that my body is weak, and I can’t move on my own."

As Fang Yuan spoke, he looked at Mo Wangchen with immense gratitude, "It’s all thanks to Master Ji. If there’s ever anything you need from me in the future, as long as you say the word, I, Fang Yuan, will do it wholeheartedly."

"You’re too kind, Senior. Let’s save other matters for the future; the most pressing issue now is to extract the Ice Cold Energy from within you. Otherwise, this cold power will surely rebound one day," Mo Wangchen said.

"In that case, I’ll trouble you, Master," Fang Yuan nodded, extending his hand with his palm up.

Mo Wangchen brought his two fingers together and lightly touched Fang Yuan’s palm, releasing his perception, which entered Fang Yuan’s body.

"Buzz!"

Fang Yuan’s body shuddered as he sensed Mo Wangchen’s powerful perception, much stronger than when Elder Hai had previously diagnosed him.

This made Fang Yuan extremely curious about this young man named Ji Changkong. What was his origin?

To have perception stronger than Elder Hai indicated that Mo Wangchen’s Alchemy Dao skill was naturally above Elder Hai’s.

How could there be such a young Alchemy Dao master in the Xuanwu Alliance?

Had he been unconscious for so long that the outside world had changed drastically in this half-year?

Although puzzled, Fang Yuan didn’t voice his questions as he knew a person like Mo Wangchen surely held many untold secrets.

If someone was treating him, it was proof enough that Mo Wangchen wasn’t harboring ill intentions; besides, he was Fang Han’s master.

Just having that knowledge was sufficient for Fang Yuan!
