Fantasy: The Great Emperor Comes Back

Chapter 13

C13 – It Was too Easy for Him to Treat Qi Deviation

“Even if you’re willing to do that, I’m not,” Mo Changyou interjected, cutting off Mo Yunyun before she could finish, signaling his wish to put an end to the issue.

In his past life, Mo Changyou was the Heavenly Book Monarch, who had devoted himself to the study of the Undying Tao. Remarkably, he remained a virgin for tens of thousands of years, never having been intimate with Qi Wenya.

Of course, this was a secret to everyone else.

Mo Yunyun noticed that Mo Changyou was observing her body with a calm demeanor. She couldn’t understand why she felt a hint of resentment.

Yet, this realization made it crystal clear to her that the Mo Changyou before her was no ordinary man.

“The Second Master’s son might just be a fraud who’s been playing the fool for over a decade!”

“Treating Qi Deviation is quite simple. Your blood circulation is merely disrupted, and you’re a bit impatient. All you need is a Grade Three Heavenly Frost Pill to remedy your condition, which will easily help you surpass the Energy Condensation Level 5 threshold,” Mo Changyou explained, glancing at Mo Yunyun. His gaze was pure, devoid of any improper thoughts.

How could he possibly be the rogue Mo Yunyun imagined?

“Grade Three?” Mo Yunyun was taken aback. In all of Black Rock City, there was only one Grade Three Alchemist, located at the Heaven Rank Alchemist Pavilion. To have a batch of pills made there, she’d have to spend thousands of Spirit Stones and supply her own medicinal herbs.

Even though a Grade Three Alchemist was only at the Fusion Spirit level, they commanded respect from Inscription Experts!

To an Inscription Expert, Spirit Fusion Stage weapons might be worthless, but a Grade Three pill could still be beneficial.

Thus, in Black Rock City, where there were no Inscription Experts, the prestige of a Grade Three Alchemist was incredibly high.

Mo Yunyun was flabbergasted. How could she possibly acquire such a pill? It seemed utterly unattainable.

“It is a Grade Three pill. However, it’s quite easy to refine. You’ll need three Eternal Snow Lotus plants, Fire Cleansing Ganoderma that’s eight hundred years old, and sixty grams of Demonic Heart Grass. Just refine it with a gentle flame for half an hour,” Mo Changyou elaborated calmly, discussing the Pill Formula as if they were of no great value.

The three medicinal herbs aren’t particularly rare, but getting someone from the “Heaven” Rank to refine the pills is just too difficult,” Mo Yunyun said, shaking her head in resignation, feeling utterly hopeless.

That individual might not even give a second thought to the Patriarch of the Mo family.

“Do you really need someone else to make the Grade Three Medicine Pill? Remember, you’ll owe me a favor from now on. I’ll take care of refining it for you,” Mo Changyou offered.

Mo Yunyun gave Mo Changyou a sidelong glance, half-convinced he had just dismissed the Grade Three Medicine Pill as worthless junk.

But could Mo Changyou truly refine a Grade Three Medicine Pill?

The revelation left Mo Yunyun profoundly astounded. Becoming an Alchemist required a cultivation process far more arduous than that of a regular cultivator. Black Rock City had but one Alchemist, and they were a rare breed indeed.

Rumor had it, the entire empire boasted only one Alchemist of Grade Five.

With a mix of skepticism and hope, Mo Yunyun looked at Mo Changyou, realizing that her only option was to place her trust in him.

“Alright.”

With her agreement, a profound smile crept across Mo Changyou’s face.

In that moment, they both ascended to the seventh floor of the Azure Dragon Pagoda!

The once silent seventh floor was illuminated anew with two radiant red lights. The Mo family, already brimming with joy, was now struck with awe.

Disciples and elders alike stood agape, staring at the Azure Dragon Pagoda before them, speechless for what seemed like an eternity.

The seventh floor of the Azure Dragon Pagoda had been activated!

The Azure Dragon, perched atop the pagoda, seemed to let out a subtle roar. Joy radiated from Mo Yanglin’s face, reaching a pinnacle of elation.

“My son, Beiming, has actually reached the seventh floor!” he exclaimed with boundless joy. Even as the Third Elder, he couldn’t contain his excitement.

The seventh floor of the Azure Dragon Pagoda was a feat without equal!

?For years, not even Mo Changyou’s father had set foot on the seventh floor, though part of that was due to his lack of intent to do so.

“My son, Beiming, is destined to become a Sovereign!” Mo Yanglin declared, fists clenched, his face alight with a deep, proud smile, as if he were witnessing the rise of a great Sovereign.

In the entire empire, there were only a handful of Sovereigns. Each time a Sovereign emerged, they could propel a family to the forefront of the empire, making it among the wealthiest and most influential.

In due course, he would wield absolute control over the Mo family, with the power to expel anyone he disliked.

Once his son, Mo Yangning, ascended to the rank of Sovereign, the fate of the Mo family would rest on his word alone.

“Congratulations, Third Elder,” the onlooking elders exclaimed, utterly astonished by the revelation.

Mo Yangning was destined to become a Sovereign of his era, commanding respect across the empire. Then, the fate of Black Rock City would hinge on his mere utterance.

The illumination of the seventh floor of the Azure Dragon Pagoda sent waves of excitement through the disciples gathered below.

“Beiming has actually reached the seventh level?” Mo Yangning’s brother, Mo Yangtian, said in disbelief. As the Third Elder’s son, his talent was just shy of Mo Yangning’s. Yet, within the Mo family’s young prodigies under twenty, he was still a formidable force, having reached Energy Condensation Level 8.

This wave of excitement reached the Qian family, causing even Qian Hongyun, the family’s esteemed daughter, to be taken aback.

“He’s reached the seventh floor?”

Upon hearing the news, Qian Hongyun’s demeanor shifted. She recalled stories of the Mo family’s ancient prominence and a legendary figure, stronger than a Sovereign, who had emerged from their ranks millennia ago. However, the family had since fallen from grace due to various factors.

For those capable of reaching the seventh level, mastering the art of Inscription was trivial.

“Could Mo Yangning truly be so exceptional?”

Qian Hongyun pondered, having encountered Mo Yangning on numerous occasions without ever perceiving his potential to reach such heights.
