5: Chapter 5 Alchemy Pavilion 5: Chapter 5 Alchemy Pavilion Soon, Mo Wangchen returned to his own courtyard.
As the Young Master, he naturally had a courtyard of his own.
However, due to his past debauchery, the several maids his father had assigned to him were all frightened by his teasing and had no choice but to run to Mo Xiaotian and complain.
Helplessly, Mo Xiaotian sent those maids elsewhere, leaving Mo Wangchen all by himself.
“Before condensing the Spirit Vein and breaking through to the Vein Condensation Realm, I must first refine a Body Tempering Pill to expel the impurities from my body.
This way, my cultivation can be maximally improved.
However, I’m curious, with this Heavenly Dao Body, how many Spirit Veins can be condensed…”
Mo Wangchen did not enter the room; instead, he stood in the courtyard, speaking to himself.
When a cultivator broke through to the Vein Condensation Realm, the spiritual power stored in their internal meridians would form a Spirit Vein, which enabled them to harm opponents from a distance with spiritual power.
Generally speaking, most cultivators could only condense one Spirit Vein, but not everyone was the same.
Some with exceptional talent were able to condense two, or even three Spirit Veins.
The more Spirit Veins, the stronger the cultivation, allowing one to battle across realms!
It was said that when Jun Muqing broke through to the Vein Condensation Realm, she condensed three Spirit Veins.
Throughout the entire Yun Country, not many could achieve this.
And now, he possessed a Heavenly Dao Body, known in past life legends as a Divine Body.
He wondered how many Spirit Veins he could condense.
Thinking of this, Mo Wangchen couldn’t wait any longer, “The herbs needed for the Body Tempering Pill, one Boneless Flower, two Heavenly Spirit Grass…”
“These are relatively common herbs.
Although Fangtian City isn’t a big city, it should have them.
As for the price, that’s not an issue.”
As the Young Master of the Mo Family and the infamous number one profligate of Fangtian City, Mo Wangchen naturally had considerable wealth, which was his capital for past extravagance.
“The herbs aren’t the problem, but the Pill Furnace is…”
Suddenly, Mo Wangchen thought of this dilemma.
In his previous life, he had numerous top-tier Pill Furnaces, but right now, Pill Furnaces were rarely seen in Fangtian City.
This was because, throughout the entire Tian Nan Continent, only a few people could become Alchemists, given that alchemy was extremely complex and not everyone had the patience to learn it—and even if they did, not everyone could master it.
Fangtian City, within the Yun Country, was just an insignificant small city, having only three alchemists.
Hence, it was even less likely for Pill Furnaces to be available for sale.
“The Alchemy Pavilion in the city is the largest place for herb trading.
I should go there first to check!” With that resolve in mind, Mo Wangchen left the courtyard.
The Alchemy Pavilion, within Yun Country, was a special force that neither belonged to the Royal Family nor any other faction, existing independently.
Almost every city in Yun Country had a branch of the Alchemy Pavilion, staffed by several alchemists.
It had to be said that although the majority in the Alchemy Pavilion were proficient in the Alchemy Dao with few truly powerful individuals, no one in Yun Country dared provoke them.
This was because, on the Tian Nan Continent, pills were desired by all.
A high-level alchemist, even if his cultivation was only at the Vein Condensation Realm, had influence that not even a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator dared to provoke.
Walking along the bustling streets of Fangtian City, Mo Wangchen soon arrived at the Alchemy Pavilion.
The Alchemy Pavilion employed three alchemists, two at the first-level of alchemy, and the other was the Pavilion Master, Master Lin Qing.
Master Lin Qing was the only second-level alchemist in the city; thus, his status was significantly higher than ordinary individuals.
Even Mo Xiaotian dared not offend him lightly, considering the Alchemy Pavilion was a unique entity in Yun Country!
A second-level alchemist had at least an eighty percent success rate in refining a second-grade pill, while the chance for a third-grade pill, although not impossible, was merely ten percent or even less.
This was why everyone in the Mo Family was so shocked when Jun Muqing presented a Gathering Martial Pill earlier.
Even Master Lin Qing, highly revered in the city, had a less than ten percent success rate for refining a third-grade pill, which highlighted the rarity of the Gathering Martial Pill!
“Sir, may I ask what kind of pill you wish to buy?”
As soon as he entered the Alchemy Pavilion, a welcoming servant approached with a smile and asked.
Mo Wangchen looked around; the Alchemy Pavilion’s hall was quite large, with a fair number of people currently purchasing various pills.
“I want to buy some herbs,” he replied directly.
“Herbs?” The servant paused, glancing up and down at Mo Wangchen.
Does the Alchemy Pavilion not sell herbs, only pills?” Mo Wangchen frowned; in memory, they should have them.
Besides selling pills, the Alchemy Pavilion also sold herbs, and if you had enough wealth, you could commission the stationed alchemist to personally refine pills for you.
“Yes, we do!” Realizing his initial oversight, the servant quickly smiled.
Typically, most visitors came to the Alchemy Pavilion primarily to purchase pills.
Of course, there were many prominent figures visiting to have the three masters personally concoct pills.
But it was rare to have someone like Mo Wangchen come specifically to buy herbs.
Sometimes, even an entire month could pass without anyone.
People who bought herbs mostly aimed for alchemy, yet aside from Master Lin Qing and the two other masters, there wasn’t anyone else in Fangtian City who understood alchemy.
Those purchasing herbs usually came from nearby cities.
Hence, the servant was curious, was Mo Wangchen purchasing herbs for alchemy?
Even though Mo Wangchen was renowned as the number one profligate in Fangtian City, not everyone had seen him.
Given the city’s population of over a million, it wasn’t surprising that the servant didn’t recognize him.
Leading him to a shelf stocked with herbs, the servant asked with a smile, “What herbs do you need?
I’ll fetch them for you.”
Mo Wangchen nodded and began listing the herbs needed for the Body Tempering Pill.
Boneless Flower?” Although the herbs required for the Body Tempering Pill were only a few, the servant couldn’t help but be surprised after hearing Mo Wangchen’s list.
“What’s wrong?” Mo Wangchen wondered.
Were Boneless Flowers unavailable?
It was a primary material for the Body Tempering Pill.
Without it, things could get troublesome.
“The Boneless Flower is much more expensive than the other herbs, valued at eight thousand gold coins each…”
Hearing the servant’s words, Mo Wangchen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn’t that they didn’t have it, but rather that the servant thought he couldn’t afford it?
He chuckled and said, “Eight thousand is eight thousand.
Combine the prices of the herbs I just listed and let me know the total.”
Currently, he had nearly one hundred thousand gold coins, making eight thousand within an acceptable range.
However, in his past life, such herbs were worth only a hundred or two hundred gold coins at most—he didn’t expect the price to have multiplied so much here.
