Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Empress Yun’s Birthday

"That’s right!"

Hearing Mo Wangchen’s words, Elder Ling nodded and said, "I wonder if you have any spare Youth Pills..."

"As for the Youth Pills, there are some left."

Mo Wangchen nodded. Last time when he helped Qin Yue with refining, he made four Youth Pills in total. Qin Yue took one, and gave one to Liang Yuqiu, so he still had two Youth Pills left.

"It hasn’t been long since the last auction, is Elder Ling planning to put another one up for auction?" Mo Wangchen asked curiously.

"Not exactly." Elder Ling shook his head.

"In ten days, it will be Empress Yun’s birthday. All the major powers are preparing their gifts. Due to the sensation caused by the last Youth Pill, the Royal Family specifically sent someone to inquire if our Alchemist Alliance had any more Youth Pills..."

"Empress Yun’s birthday?!"

Hearing this, Mo Wangchen was slightly shocked. Empress Yun, of course, was the current empress of Yun Country.

"Is Elder Ling planning to use a Youth Pill as a birthday gift?" Mo Wangchen asked.

"Probably." Elder Ling nodded and looked at Mo Wangchen, then suddenly smiled, "Considering how our Alchemist Alliance possesses countless pills, it’s not that we lack options for gifts, yet the Royal Family only seems interested in a Youth Pill. Such a saintly item, especially to women, is truly peculiar..."

"Everyone has an appreciation for beauty. It’s not strange that Empress Yun wants a Youth Pill." Mo Wangchen smiled and then took out a Youth Pill, handing it to Elder Ling.

"The banquet in ten days will be held within the Imperial City, and you may need to accompany me." Elder Ling put away the Youth Pill and suddenly said.

Mo Wangchen was taken aback, a look of confusion in his eyes, "I also have to go?"

"Empress Yun personally sent word; she wants to see who among our Alchemist Alliance managed to refine such a pill." Elder Ling smiled, "Perhaps you might take this opportunity to form some connections with the Royal Family."

"The Royal Family..."

Mo Wangchen slightly furrowed his brows, then said self-deprecatingly, "I don’t think that’s necessary. In the previous auction, I thoroughly offended Crown Prince Yun Yi. Moreover, with the Jun Family’s marriage alliance with the Royal Family, I don’t think they will alienate the Crown Prince and the Jun Family for my sake."

Hearing this, Elder Ling and Wan Quan exchanged a glance and slightly frowned, "Your death match with Jun Muqing is likely to cause a huge sensation. With the current relationship between the Jun Family and the Royal Family, even if you had enough confidence to kill Jun Muqing in battle, obviously, the Royal Family wouldn’t really let you get away with it."

Mo Wangchen naturally thought of this. He sneered, "On the Life and Death Platform, the match between the two sides ends only when one dies and the other lives. If anyone dares to interfere, the Academy will not stand idly by. But Jun Muqing is the dean’s disciple and is secretly appointed as the Crown Princess Consort, with the Royal Family, such a colossus, standing behind her. No matter how you look at it, this battle will inevitably end in my death."

"That’s right!" Elder Ling and Wan Quan nodded, "Neither Yun Chu Academy, the Jun Family, nor the Royal Family will allow Jun Muqing to be killed by you in battle."

"If anything unfortunate happened to Jun Muqing, the Royal Family definitely wouldn’t let you off either." Elder Ling sighed, "This is a trap, a trap set by Jun Muqing for you, with the simple aim of killing you in battle."

"Then we’ll see if she really has that capability..."

Mo Wangchen sneered, this battle, no matter what, would be the end between him and her, "The Royal Family may be powerful, but so what? Not to mention how vast the Tian Nan Continent is, just within the Decade Domain, there are no fewer than a hundred nations. In a country like Yun, I don’t believe there’s nowhere I can find refuge."

The Yun Country Royal Family, so what?

The current Mo Wangchen was no longer impulsive. After the previous encounters with Qin Yue, he was now considered half a member of the Pill Sect.

Elder Ling was silent for a moment and then said, "Rest assured, if you truly have the confidence to kill Jun Muqing, should the Royal Family and Yun Chu Academy take action against you, it wouldn’t look good on them either. What’s more, we have the Alchemist Alliance, the Wan Family, and the Liang Family standing by your side. At most, we tear apart the charade, and it’s time for a change in Yun Country’s layout..."

...

Before leaving the Alchemy Pavilion, Mo Wangchen and Elder Ling collected a lot of medicinal materials. He needed to refine some pills to swiftly elevate his cultivation level within the next month.

After returning to the academy, he first went to the Outer Court, meeting Mo Xue and Mo Cheng, and handed some of the medicinal materials and several copies of Level One Alchemy Recipes to Mo Xue.

Nowadays, Mo Xue’s Alchemy Dao skill had obviously improved significantly. The pill formation rate for refining Level One Pills had reached over seventy percent, and Mo Wangchen believed she might pass the Level Two Alchemist assessment in next year’s Alchemist Alliance evaluation.

As for Mo Cheng, he naturally hadn’t been idle. After Mo Wangchen entered the Inner Court, he took over as Pavilion Master of the Mo Pavilion. Under his leadership, the overall strength of the Mo Pavilion also improved considerably, especially with the support of Xue’er’s pills and Mo Wangchen’s martial techniques.

The Mo Pavilion had now grown strong, long since becoming one of the four major forces in the academy!

Mo Cheng had also recently broken through to the Ninth Layer of the Vein Condensation Realm and looked forward to passing the next Inner Court assessment, eventually becoming an Inner Court disciple.

In the meantime, Mo Cheng had already sent the news back to Fangtian City. Upon hearing the news about Xue’er becoming an Alchemist and Mo Wangchen and his own increasing strength, the entire Mo Family naturally held a grand night feast, inviting various factions to celebrate.

Earlier, Mo Wangchen had given Mo Cheng several martial techniques, including Xuan Rank ones, and quite a few advanced Yellow Rank techniques. He had Mo Cheng imprint several to send back to the Mo Family. Now, with these martial techniques, the Mo Family had naturally grown stronger.

Moreover, Mo Cheng wrote a private letter, personally delivered to his father, mentioning things about Mo Wangchen. The purpose was simple: to change his father’s view of Mo Wangchen’s branch.

Now, the two branches of the Mo Family had become quite harmonious as a result.

...

Leaving the Outer Court, after entering the Inner Court, Mo Wangchen rested briefly before planning to continue to the Artifact Refining Tower for cultivation.

However, just as he was walking out of the courtyard gate, he was confronted by three young men, each having cultivation around the Third Layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm, indicating they were senior disciples of the Inner Court.

The leading young man saw Mo Wangchen coming out, and stared at him with indifference, "So you’re Mo Wangchen?"
