53: Chapter 53: A Strong Fighter from the Returning Ruins Realm!
Mo Wangchen nodded in acknowledgment, then handed the Falling Dust Sword Technique to Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao was momentarily stunned, then his gaze fell upon the object in his hands.
When he realized it was a sword technique, his eyes flashed with excitement.
Mo Wangchen didn’t concern himself with Zhang Hao’s reaction.
After handing over the Falling Dust Sword Technique, he left the courtyard directly.
After walking through the bustling streets for a moment, Mo Wangchen arrived once more at the Alchemy Pavilion.
As always, the Alchemy Pavilion, being the largest pill trading place in Yun Country, never lacked customers.
Presently, the first-floor hall was crowded with no less than a hundred people.
As soon as Mo Wangchen entered, he saw Liang Yuqiu waiting not far away.
“Why did you take so long?
The master is anxious!” Upon seeing Mo Wangchen, Liang Yuqiu quickly approached him.
Mo Wangchen smiled and said, “You only said to meet here in three days, but didn’t specify the time.
Who knew you would come so early…”
“Did you bring the alchemy recipe?” Liang Yuqiu paused for a moment before asking.
Where is your master?” Mo Wangchen looked around but didn’t notice anyone special.
Let’s go,” Liang Yuqiu said, then unhesitatingly grabbed Mo Wangchen’s hand, heading toward the stairs.
“Junior Sister Liang!”
Just as they were about to ascend the stairs, a call rang out from behind them.
Liang Yuqiu slightly frowned as if recognizing the voice.
She turned and looked, “What is it?”
Mo Wangchen also looked in the same direction, seeing a young man in fine clothes approaching them with a smile.
“What a powerful aura!”
Mo Wangchen sensed an imposing presence emanating from the young man, rivaling even his own father, Mo Xiaotian.
This person’s cultivation was at least at the eighth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm!
“Hmm?” The young man hadn’t initially noticed Mo Wangchen, but upon approaching, he saw that Liang Yuqiu was holding hands with him.
Such an intimate gesture made the young man frown, and he looked at Mo Wangchen, “And who might this be…”
Liang Yuqiu realized something inappropriate and quickly let go of Lin Feng’s hand, saying plainly, “This is a friend of mine.
If you have nothing important, I won’t be keeping you company.”
With that said, Liang Yuqiu glanced at Mo Wangchen, signaling him to leave with her.
Until their figures completely disappeared around the stairway’s corner, the young man continued frowning and then turned to his companion behind him, “Check that person’s identity.
He looks about seventeen or eighteen years old and is at the Vein Condensation Realm.
See if he’s a disciple recruited by the academy this time.”
“Who was that just now?” As they ascended the tower, Mo Wangchen couldn’t help but ask.
“Yang Xu,” Liang Yuqiu replied solemnly, “The Young Master of the Yang Family, one of the five major families in Yunge City.
Like me, he is also a disciple of the Inner Court, with a cultivation reaching the eighth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, ranking among the top five on the strength list!”
The so-called strength list was a ranking of power at Yun Chu Academy, which gathered all the geniuses of Yun Country.
Yang Xu being in the top five spoke volumes about his formidable skills.
“The Yang Family?” Mo Wangchen frowned.
No wonder he felt the man was extraordinary; it turned out he was the Young Master of one of the five major families!
“It seems I’ve unwittingly provoked someone formidable…”
Mo Wangchen suddenly chuckled bitterly.
“What do you mean?” Liang Yuqiu was puzzled.
“This Yang Xu is probably your suitor, right?” Mo Wangchen said.
“You held my hand earlier, and he might have misunderstood.
If I’m not mistaken, he’s probably already begun to investigate my identity…”
Hearing him, Liang Yuqiu was momentarily stunned.
Yang Xu’s pursuit of her was no secret within the Inner Court, and she was certainly aware of it.
“Him pursuing me is his business.
I only intend to study the Alchemy Dao with my master.
What does holding someone’s hand have to do with him?” Liang Yuqiu said bluntly.
You might not care, but he does…
Mo Wangchen shook his head with a wry smile, resigning to his bad luck.
However, as long as he stayed cautious within the academy, he didn’t need to fear the other party.
If he didn’t provoke him, it would be fine.
But if Yang Xu did, Mo Wangchen wouldn’t mind causing some trouble for the Yang Family in the future…
Possessing the Heavenly Dao Body, along with his Alchemy Dao skills from a previous life, Mo Wangchen believed that given enough time, a small Yang Family wouldn’t be worth his attention.
Upon reaching the third floor of the Alchemy Pavilion, Mo Wangchen looked ahead to see an elderly man, similar in age to Lin Qing, sitting not far away.
He wore a gray robe and was currently meditating with his eyes closed.
Upon hearing Liang Yuqiu’s call, the old man slowly opened his eyes, gazed slightly upward, and cast a glance at Mo Wangchen, “Boy, you’re the one claiming to have the alchemy recipe for the Life Extension Pill?”
The elder slapped his palm on the table and rose from his seat.
This sudden movement startled both Mo Wangchen and Liang Yuqiu.
“I’m usually very busy.
If you dare to deceive me, I wouldn’t hesitate to throw you out of Yunge City, kid!”
Both Mo Wangchen and Liang Yuqiu were taken aback by his words.
“Returning Ruins Realm!” Mo Wangchen sensed an unprecedentedly powerful aura from the elder.
This aura surpassed the Spirit Transformation Realm, belonging only to those who had entered the Returning Ruins Realm!
Within Yun Country, there were only about a dozen experts at the Returning Ruins Realm level.
It was unexpected that Liang Yuqiu’s master was one of them!
Although shocked, Mo Wangchen maintained a composed demeanor.
He smiled slightly, “Without the alchemy recipe, how would I dare to appear here?
Conversely, since you’re here, Senior, you must have come believing in me, right?”
Seeing Mo Wangchen’s calm expression and even a sense of present humor, the elder was slightly surprised and then laughed heartily, “Quite courageous.
But allow me to advise you, young man, it’s best not to be overly arrogant…”
“If one isn’t bold, can they still be called young?” Mo Wangchen smiled.
Hearing his response, the elder was momentarily stunned and then laughed heartily again, “Not bad, kid.
