While Su Yin was forging the pill, in the Great Yan Continent, Great Yan Royal City...
Emperor Bai Zhanqing and Empress Fei Yunfeng stared at the old man before them with anticipation in their eyes.
"Mo, the Three-eyed Toad, Seven-star Moonlight Grass, and Nine-leafed Hemp Wood that you asked me to prepare have been gathered for five years. My daughter's life is in danger, and whether she can recover or not depends on you!"
Without the arrogance of an emperor, Bai Zhanqing bowed deeply.
"With these items, I can attempt to forge a perfect pill. As long as it succeeds, the little princess's illness should be cured. However... a pill of this level is too difficult. Even I can't guarantee success."
The old man whom Bai Zhanqing addressed as Mo nodded.
Qingyun Sect, Mo Qingcheng's teacher, Mo Yuan! The only grade-7 pinnacle apothecary in the Great Yan Continent.
"Life and death are fated. As long as Mo does his best, it's fine!" Bai Zhanqing clasped his fist.
Nodding, Mo Yuan flicked his wrist, and an ancient cauldron appeared before him.
High-tier Spirit artifact, Luminous Moon!
Legend had it that in order to forge this weapon, an eighth-tier blacksmith had spent five days and five nights. When the weapon was completed, the moon had been hanging high in the sky. Under the moonlight, it looked like a divine artifact.
"In order to forge a perfect pill, not only is there a high requirement on the medicinal herbs, there can't be the slightest mistake in the concoction, ignition, tempering, and formation of the pill! Otherwise, all of one's efforts will go to waste. "
Mo Yuan spoke as he organized the medicinal herbs on the table. By the time he was done speaking, more than a hundred valuable medicinal herbs had already been sorted out and placed together in a specific order.
After doing all of this, the old man didn't rush to light the cauldron. Instead, he walked over to a silver basin by the side and carefully washed his hands before crushing a Body Cleansing Talisman. After which, he changed into a new set of clothes and combed his hair.
"He... What is he doing?"
Seeing that the old man wasn't forging the pill and was instead putting on a show, Empress Fei Yunfeng's eyebrows shot up.
Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be appropriate for a woman like her to appear when the emperor was meeting with such an expert. However, her daughter's illness was simply too much for her to bear. After waiting for more than a decade, she finally saw hope. How could she hold herself back?
"He is... inviting the apothecary!"
Bai Zhanqing slowly said with a grave expression.
"Alchemy?" Fei Yunfeng was puzzled.
"Legend has it that every profession has a Dao of Pills to protect. It's the same as the gods that mortals believe in! If you want to refine something that surpasses your own limits, the best way is to invite their projections to watch over you. By doing so, not only can you suppress your inner demons, you can also strengthen your thinking and greatly increase your success rate! "
As the Emperor of a province, Bai Zhanqing knew a lot of secrets.
Fei Yunfeng nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He continued to look into the hall.
At this moment, the old man had finished all his preparations. With a sincere expression, he knelt on the ground facing the east and spoke in a soft voice.
"Level 7 Alchemist, Mo Yuan. Today, I am attempting to break through to the perfect level. I respectfully request the assistance of the Alchemy Dao!"
After he finished speaking, he took out the sacrificial items and lit them one by one. Each of them was extremely precious and could only be found in the outside world. But here, they were just sacrificial offerings!
Nine items were ignited in a row.
Weng!
The air in the room suddenly turned heavy. Following which, a surge of pure spiritual energy swiftly gathered to form an illusory silhouette.
It was impossible to make out the silhouette's appearance, but it exuded an oppressive and majestic aura.
"Is this the projection of the Alchemy Dao?" Fei Yunfeng widened his eyes in shock as his body trembled slightly.
This was the first time he had seen a projection that represented the skill of an occupation. It carried with it a sacred aura that made one want to worship it.
The projection was expressionless. With a wave of his hand, a strand of Saint Qi as thick as a strand of hair dived into Mo Yuan's body.
Mo Yuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately felt his essence, energy, and spirit being replenished. With a flick of his finger, he sent a ball of flame toward the bottom of the cauldron.
Ignite!
With a wave of his hand, the medicinal herbs were sent into the cauldron one after another.
"As expected of the Alchemy Dao projection. Mo's pill forging prowess is far beyond ordinary. He's already comparable to a level 8 Alchemist …"
Bai Zhanqing clenched his fists tightly in agitation.
Mo Yuan's pill forging prowess was only at level 7 pinnacle, but with the help of the Alchemy Dao projection, his prowess was comparable to that of a level 8 Alchemist. From the looks of it, there was hope for him to successfully forge a perfect pill!
As the medicinal herbs were sent into the cauldron, the pill fragrance grew stronger and stronger.
"He's about to succeed …" Bai Zhanqing and Fei Yunfei trembled in agitation.
As long as the pill was successfully forged, there would be hope for their little daughter.
Hong long!
As the medicinal herbs were all sent into the cauldron, the pill aura began to gather within, and the rumbling grew louder and louder.
"Alchemy Dao projection, please assist me …"
Seeing that the pill was only one step away from success, Mo Yuan kneeled to the ground once more and bowed to the projection.
However, he did not receive a response this time. Perplexed, he raised his head to take a look. With just a single glance, the old man's hair stood on end.
The impassive Alchemy Dao projection was like a quail in the cold wind, cowering into a ball and trembling non-stop as it looked in a certain direction.
It was completely different from the arrogance it displayed before.
Puff!
The projection kneeled to the ground, and then a crack appeared on its head, which slowly spread downward, becoming bigger and bigger.
"Bang!" It exploded from the middle.
"Alchemy Dao projection … kneeled and exploded?"
Mo Yuan's pupils shrunk, and his face turned pale. He could no longer control the energy in his body, and the cauldron exploded with a loud sound!
As a level seven dan -maker who had been concocting dan for so many years, his cauldron actually … exploded!
The precious medicinal herbs that the Great Yan royalty had spent years preparing were all turned into ashes in the explosion.
The dan -making had failed!
Puff!
Mo Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale.
"What the hell happened?"
Bai Zhanqing did not expect such a thing to happen. He was trembling and couldn't help but look over.
Fei Yunfei's face was completely pale. They had just seen hope, and now they were disappointed again … Was their little daughter really that unfortunate?
After adjusting his breath for a while, Mo Yuan looked at the direction where the Alchemy Dao projection was kneeling and spoke with a hoarse voice, "Someone … must have concocted supreme dan beads!"
"Supreme Dan?"
The King and the Queen were both shocked.
They had never heard of such a name before.
"Everybody thinks that perfect dan beads are the limit of this world. However … there is something far beyond that. That is supreme dan beads! When supreme dan beads are concocted, there will be dan clouds forming … However, supreme dan beads only exist in legends. How could anyone possibly concoct it? "
Mo Yuan couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it, but it had happened!
"Is this dan bead … very powerful?" Fei Yunfei couldn't help but ask.
"It is more than powerful. If we can find one, even if it is the lowest level dan bead, and give it to the little princess, her illness will be cured immediately!"
Mo Yuan spoke solemnly.
"Well …" Fei Yunfei's face turned red, and he was excited, "Since someone has concocted it, if we can buy one, won't we still be saved?"
"Of course!" Mo Yuan nodded, "However, to be able to concoct supreme dan beads like this, that person must have a profound understanding of dan beads. How can ordinary dan beads attract his attention?"
"Well …" The two of them didn't know what to say.
"Well, if you don't mind, leave the little princess to me. I will take her to that direction and see if we can find the master who concocted the dan beads for her!" Mo Yuan thought for a while and said.
"Thank you, Mo …" Fei Yunfei wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Bai Zhanqing.
"Hmm!"
Mo Yuan nodded and looked in that direction. He murmured slowly, "That is the direction of the Immortal Suppressing Sect … Who could concoct such a powerful dan bead? Could it be … The Great Demon of Bliss? "
Author's Note 1: The Cleansing Talisman is a talisman used to cleanse the body.
