Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 117: A Word of Advice for You

"Little brother, where are you headed?"

When the two arrived at the entrance of the auction house, a long line had already formed with people taking turns to enter.

However, the middle-aged man noticed that Mo Wangchen was not joining the queue like himself, but was heading towards another passageway not far away.

That passageway, rarely entered, was the VIP entrance, only accessible to individuals personally invited by the Alchemist Alliance. Generally, such individuals were either from the five major families or powerful figures from Yunge City who received such treatment.

The middle-aged man noticed Mo Wangchen heading towards that VIP entrance and couldn’t help but be startled.

But quickly, he saw Mo Wangchen pulling out an invitation from his breast pocket, after which the servant guarding the VIP entrance respectfully ushered him in.

"That kid, could he be a genius from one of the top five families?" The middle-aged man was astonished by the scene.

Mo Wangchen seemed to be only about seventeen or eighteen years old. To enter through the VIP entrance, unless he was a high-rank alchemist from the Alchemist Alliance, which the middle-aged man deemed impossible.

So, there was only one possibility left—Mo Wangchen must be from one of the prestigious young masters of the top five families?

...

After entering, Mo Wangchen found that the auction hall was already filled with many figures, the setup quite similar to the auction he had attended in Jianye City—the ground floor was a hall, with a second floor loft prepared for the VIPs.

However, compared to the auction house in Jianye City, this place was much larger; the hall alone could accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Mo Wangchen had glanced at his invitation earlier, which specified that Elder Ling had arranged for him to be in room number ten on the second-floor loft.

"Hmm?!"

Just as Mo Wangchen was about to head towards the staircase leading to the second floor, two figures suddenly approached from the side.

They were two men, talking to each other and seemed to sense Mo Wangchen’s presence, both turning their gaze towards him.

"Mo Wangchen?"

The younger of the two squinted his eyes, a cold glint fleeting across them. It was Yang Xu who had not expected Mo Wangchen to attend this auction.

"How is it that a young master from a minor family also qualifies to attend an auction of this scale?"

Yang Xu sneered coldly, looking disdainfully at Mo Wangchen, "Every single item auctioned here, your Mo Family would probably not be able to afford even if it exhausted all its resources. If I were you, I’d be embarrassed to even show up here."

"The exit is over there; if you’re embarrassed to be here, you can just turn around and leave."

Mo Wangchen smiled faintly, then took a step forward as if unwilling to entangle further with the other. As he passed by Yang Xu and the other man, Mo Wangchen paused briefly, glancing at the man from the corner of his eye and said with a smile, "Don’t you agree, Master Luo Tian?"

"Hmm?!"

Hearing that Mo Wangchen knew Luo Tian, Yang Xu clearly frowned.

Luo Tian’s expression grew somber, ignoring Mo Wangchen’s words and whispered something into Yang Xu’s ear.

"What?"

After hearing Luo Tian’s words, Yang Xu was visibly shaken, his eyes filled with disbelief as he stared at Mo Wangchen, "You’re an alchemist too? And you just passed the third-grade assessment?"

"How is that possible?!"

A third-rank alchemist, even in Yunge City, held significant influence, just like Luo Tian, who had recently advanced to the rank of a third-rank pill master. Now, Yang Xu, as the Young Master of the Yang Family, appeared here alongside Luo Tian. This was naturally because the Yang Family wanted to win over Luo Tian.

It was evident that even the five major families wouldn’t easily offend a third-rank alchemist.

However, what Yang Xu hadn’t expected was that Mo Wangchen was also a third-rank alchemist!

In the future, if he wanted to take action against Mo Wangchen, he would have to consider it carefully...

After all, not only did he need to beware of the other’s identity as a third-rank alchemist, but most importantly, Mo Wangchen had achieved such a level at his young age. Yang Xu could imagine that Mo Wangchen must have received great attention within the Alchemist Alliance.

If he wanted to make a move against Mo Wangchen, he would also need to consider the stance of the Alchemist Alliance!

Yang Xu suddenly remembered the words Mo Wangchen had said to him not long ago, that if he wanted to make a move against him, he should be prepared for retaliation at any time.

At that time, Yang Xu had naturally thought Mo Wangchen was joking, but now, knowing that the other was a third-rank alchemist, Yang Xu couldn’t help but wonder—was it really just a joke?

Clearly, alchemists had extensive connections, especially a third-rank alchemist like Mo Wangchen. If he really wanted to retaliate against Yang Xu, it wasn’t impossible.

Mo Wangchen didn’t pay attention to Yang Xu’s surprise but took strides towards the staircase leading to the second floor.

When he located room number ten and was about to push the door open, suddenly, from around a nearby corner, there came some light footsteps. Mo Wangchen instinctively turned to look, and upon seeing the approaching group of people, his brow immediately furrowed.

"Mo Wangchen?!"

It was none other than Jun Muqing.

At this moment, following by Jun Muqing’s side, there was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, two years older than himself.

The man held a folded fan, with a serious and stringent demeanor exuding from his features, presenting a daunting air of vigor!

Following Jun Muqing and the young man were several guards. Clearly, Jun Muqing had also seen Mo Wangchen and her face showed a look of surprise, "How come you are here?!"

"Heh..."

"Seems like it’s none of your business," Mo Wangchen responded indifferently.

"How dare you!"

However, just as he finished speaking, the guards following Jun Muqing voiced a stern rebuke, intending to apprehend Mo Wangchen right there without further ado.

Yet before they could make their move, the young man beside Jun Muqing stepped forward and stopped the guards.

With a step forward and a slight smile on his face, the young man’s gaze fell on Mo Wangchen, while his brows emitted a sense of pride, yet he restrained it well.

"So you’re Mo Wangchen?" The man observed Mo Wangchen for a moment, then took a step forward, "I’ve heard from Muqing about your arrival at Yun Chu Academy, and although I don’t know how you’ve broken the curse and condensed your Spirit Vein, if you’re here to trouble Muqing, I’d advise you that Yunge City is not where you can stand."

Boom!

As he spoke, a terrifying pressure surged from the man, continuously bearing down on Mo Wangchen like a collapsing Snow Mountain, extremely oppressive, causing Mo Wangchen’s expression to suddenly change dramatically.

"A Returning Ruins Realm expert!"
