Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 119: The Green Jade Pendant
Chapter 119: Chapter 119: The Green Jade Pendant
"Elder Ling..."
Hearing Qin Yue’s words, Mo Wangchen was taken aback. He then smiled bitterly in his heart. As expected, this old fellow had sold him out.
"The Youth Pill did indeed come from my hands," Mo Wangchen admitted without concealment and nodded.
"Besides the Youth Pill, there’s also a Green Sun Pill and the Extreme Cold Pill that can suppress Fire Poison, including the recently emerged Qi Gathering Pill. Did all these come from your hands?"
Qin Yue gazed at Mo Wangchen and continued to ask. Her tone was somewhat indifferent, as if keeping others at a distance of a thousand miles, as if she was born this way.
"This old fellow!"
Mo Wangchen gritted his teeth, realizing that Elder Ling had told the other party so much!
"These pills, even our Pill Sect has not heard of them. I wonder, where did you get these alchemy recipes?" the woman asked.
"This..."
Mo Wangchen frowned slightly, naturally unwilling to tell the other party the source of the pills.
In a moment of difficulty, Qin Yue’s voice rang out again, "How you obtained the alchemy recipes is not that important, but our Pill Sect believes these recipes have significant research value, so the reason I’m here is simple, name your price."
"You want to buy my alchemy recipes?"
Mo Wangchen could easily discern the meaning in Qin Yue’s words. He was stunned for a moment, "I can sell the recipes, but I don’t know what method the Pill Sect plans to use to buy them..."
Given that the Pill Sect is one of the top three powers in the Ten Directions Domain, it seemed too crude if they intended to buy merely with Gold Coins.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yue looked at Mo Wangchen with a calm expression, seemingly pondering something. After a moment, she said, "With your current status as a third-ranked Pill Master, you barely meet the basic conditions for joining our Pill Sect. However, I don’t have the authority to directly admit you, and you probably aren’t short on Gold Coins either. If you’re willing, you can leave with me after this auction, go to the Pill Sect, and upon obtaining the recognition of the elders, you would become a disciple of the Pill Sect."
"As of now, I may not be able to leave..."
Mo Wangchen frowned. He had just joined Yun Chu Academy, and the Mo Pavilion had not been developing for long. How could he possibly leave?
Moreover, he still had unresolved issues with Jun Muqing. Joining the Pill Sect would simply mean gaining a better status, but apart from alchemy, there might not be much else to do in the Pill Sect, right?
He had not yet fully grown, and with the support of the Artifact Refining Tower at Yun Chu Academy, how could Mo Wangchen just leave?
Shush!
Qin Yue remained silent, turning her slender jade hand. A green Jade Pendant appeared in her hand, which she handed to Mo Wangchen, saying, "This contains a Divine Thought of mine, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t go to the Pill Sect now. Once you resolve matters here, it’s not too late to head over. After the auction, I will be leaving. Your cultivation is weak; you couldn’t even withstand Yun Yi’s pressure just now. If you encounter an irreparable crisis in the future, you can crush this jade. I will come."
Looking at the green Jade Pendant in Qin Yue’s hand, Mo Wangchen’s eyes lit up, and he took it with a grin. Crushing the jade meant Qin Yue would come; wasn’t this like having a free bodyguard?
"Is there only one?"
Mo Wangchen licked his lips, obviously thinking that once the green jade was crushed, what would he do if he encountered trouble again?
"You, why are you so insatiable? You’re not even a disciple of our Pill Sect yet. The fact that I can give you a Jade Pendant and help you once is already generous, and you want to command me for free long-term?" The woman slightly frowned, her face showing a hint of reproach.
Mo Wangchen smiled awkwardly, scratched his head, and then carefully put away the green jade.
Soon, as an elder walked onto the auction stage, the auction finally began.
The entire first-floor venue was now filled with people, and it was evident that everyone was growing impatient.
Subsequently, the first item began its auction. Mo Wangchen didn’t have much interest in those items, but he could still tell that the items this time were of much higher quality than those he had seen in the auction he attended in Jianye City.
"Now up for auction are ten Qi Gathering Pills. Everyone should already be aware of the effects of these pills, so I won’t elaborate. The starting price for these ten Qi Gathering Pills is fifty thousand."
As the auction proceeded, several items had already been auctioned off. The item being presented now was none other than the Qi Gathering Pill.
"I bid eighty thousand!"
"One hundred thousand!"
"One hundred ten thousand!"
"One hundred fifty thousand!"
Mo Wangchen was taken aback, surprised at how much attention the ten Qi Gathering Pills had drawn. The price had soared to one hundred fifty thousand in just a few breaths.
He was somewhat taken aback.
"Two hundred thousand!"
While Mo Wangchen was still in shock, a low voice suddenly shouted from a private box on the second floor.
Mo Wangchen frowned slightly, "Yun Yi?"
He recognized the voice as Yun Yi, the Crown Prince of Yun Country!
"Though Yun Country isn’t strong in the Ten Directions Domain, it’s still a nation. Your current cultivation is weak. In the future, don’t provoke them without cause." Qin Yue glanced at Mo Wangchen, realizing from the events outside the door earlier that there seemed to be some sort of grudge between Mo Wangchen and Yun Yi.
"I have no intention of provoking them; this is the first time I’ve seen Yun Yi. However, that woman beside him..."
Mentioning this, Mo Wangchen’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Two hundred fifty thousand!"
Yun Yi bought the Qi Gathering Pills mainly for Jun Muqing’s use. Mo Wangchen wasn’t really intending to compete. After all, the Qi Gathering Pills had begun mass production, but before leaving Fangtian City, they were sold out quickly.
Yet Mo Wangchen understood that with Su Ye and Xue Zheng joining, Qi Gathering Pills would certainly supply more in the future. That’s why the ten Qi Gathering Pills here were so popular.
His bid wasn’t for competition; after all, the Qi Gathering Pill didn’t mean much to him. It was merely to annoy Yun Yi and Jun Muqing.
"Hmm?!"
In a room on the second floor, hearing Mo Wangchen’s voice, Jun Muqing immediately frowned, "Mo Wangchen?"
The Mo Family was just a small family in Fangtian City. Mo Wangchen’s presence here already surprised Jun Muqing, not to mention that he had so many Gold Coins to contest for the Qi Gathering Pills?
Beside her, Yun Yi frowned slightly, then snorted coldly, "Three hundred thousand!"
After calling out the price, Yun Yi’s voice calmly echoed throughout the venue, "Some people shouldn’t raise the price recklessly, or else, when the time comes and you can’t bring out the Gold Coins, I doubt the Alchemist Alliance will let such disturbances occur here."
"Hehe..."
"A mere tens of thousands of Gold Coins, I can still afford to play."
In the hall below, as everyone was puzzled, Mo Wangchen’s voice spread as well, "Three hundred fifty thousand!"
