Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven

```

"After all, you are a second-tier Alchemist, yet you don't even know this," Mo Wangchen glanced at Lin Qing and then said lightly.

Upon hearing his words, Master Lin Qing did not retort; instead, he blushed with some embarrassment.

Next to him, Zhang Hao couldn't help but widen his eyes in disbelief. It was unimaginable that the highly respected Master Lin Qing, the Pavilion Master of the Alchemy Pavilion, would show such a look of shame in front of a young master known for his frivolity. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.

While surprised, Zhang Hao's view of Mo Wangchen also subtly changed. Could it be that this young man really understood Alchemy?

And perhaps his skill surpassed that of Master Lin Qing? Impossible, right?!

"I have learned something..."

After a moment, Master Lin Qing sincerely bowed to Mo Wangchen. This scene even more so overturned Zhang Hao's understanding.

"If there's nothing else, please leave..."

Mo Wangchen directly issued a guest order, but his tone was much more polite than before. He saw sincerity in Lin Qing's eyes. This person could be worth befriending. After all, as the Pavilion Master of the city's Alchemy Pavilion, and considering the weight the Alchemy Pavilion carried throughout Yun Country, befriending him was not a bad idea.

Since the other party already knew he could concoct pills, Mo Wangchen didn't mind engaging in more exchanges in the future, which would benefit both himself and the Mo Family.

After all, he was still weak now, and before having absolute strength to protect himself, befriending some influential figures wouldn't hurt—of course, it also depended on the character of the other party!

"Master Mo, this junior has one more thing I wish to consult you about..."

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Qing finally spoke up, even referring to himself as junior.

Lin Feng remained silent, gazing at him blandly, seemingly waiting for him to continue.

"Lately, I've been trying to refine a third-tier Pill called the Spirit Transformation Pill, but my Alchemy Dao skill is insufficient. I am still just a second-tier Alchemist, and the success rate for refining the Spirit Transformation Pill is less than ten percent—something always feels off during the process..."

"Let me see the Alchemy Recipe," Mo Wangchen nodded, interrupting Lin Qing before he finished speaking.

Regarding the Spirit Transformation Pill, Mo Wangchen's past memories offered him some insights. This Pill could potentially increase the chance of someone at the ninth level of the Vein Condensation Realm to succeed in breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Realm by thirty percent!

However, in his previous life, he had never heard of such a pill, and given his current perception, he couldn't possibly refine it. But if he had the Alchemy Recipe, he might identify some clues.

Hearing Mo Wangchen's words, Lin Qing's face immediately lit up with joy, and he then retrieved an Alchemy Recipe, respectfully handing it to Mo Wangchen with both hands.

"Hmm?"

After scrutinizing it for a moment, Mo Wangchen suddenly frowned but did not speak, instead seeming to ponder something deeply.

Seeing him like this, Lin Qing couldn't help but feel anxious—could it be that Mo Wangchen also had no solution to his problem?

"Phoenix Tail Grass and Lotus Seed Core are the main ingredients, right?" Just as anxiety filled Lin Qing's heart, Mo Wangchen's calm voice reached his ears, his gaze moved from the Alchemy Recipe and asked.

"Yes, yes, the main ingredients of this Spirit Transformation Pill's recipe are Phoenix Tail Grass and Lotus Seed Core!" Hearing Mo Wangchen's question, Lin Qing nodded fervently, like a pecking chick.

His admiration for Mo Wangchen's Alchemy skill increased even more.

In fact, on the Tian Nan Continent, every pill had numerous recipes. For example, Lin Qing estimated that there were no fewer than ten recipes for the Spirit Transformation Pill.

For Mo Wangchen to identify the main ingredients of this Alchemy Recipe at a glance already indicated a level far beyond what Lin Qing could achieve on his own.

If he were presented with a brand new recipe for the Spirit Transformation Pill, Lin Qing might need several days to discern the primary ingredient!

Yet Mo Wangchen had merely glanced casually and could already determine it, showcasing the terrifying height of his Alchemy skill!

Still, Lin Qing couldn't comprehend how Mo Wangchen managed to do it. The young man was only eighteen now, right?

Even if he had been exposed to Alchemy since birth, such attainment seemed impossible...

Although puzzled internally, Lin Qing did not inquire further. Looking at Mo Wangchen, his face instead showed even more respect. "Master Mo, could it be that there's a problem with the ingredient combination?"

"The combination itself isn't greatly problematic, and I've never refined this pill before. However, according to my hypothesis, there are a few ingredients that could be substituted, potentially raising your success rate to thirty percent," Mo Wangchen said lightly, then handed the recipe back to Lin Qing.

"Thirty percent?!" Lin Qing's face was immediately filled with shock. If what Mo Wangchen said was true, and the success rate of refining the Spirit Transformation Pill could be increased to thirty percent, then it wouldn't take long. As long as he kept attempting to refine this third-tier pill, it would surely help him gain more insight into the Alchemy Dao and perhaps even lead him to pass the examination for becoming a third-tier Alchemist!

A third-tier Alchemist! Although the difference from a second-tier is just one tier, their status is entirely different.

Even within the whole of Yun Country, they were quite significant figures!

"If Master Mo truly can increase my Spirit Transformation Pill success rate to thirty percent, this old man would gladly become your disciple!" Master Lin Qing said, ready to kneel on the spot.

However, Mo Wangchen quickly stopped him, "I have no intention of taking on disciples, and even though I could give you a completely new recipe, you also know the most important aspect for an Alchemist is perception. With my current cultivation, my perception is incredibly weak, otherwise, how could I have concocted a Waste Pill at your Alchemy Pavilion..."

"Besides..."

As Mo Wangchen spoke, he paused momentarily, turning his gaze to the dumbfounded Zhang Hao. "I assume this pill is being refined for him..."

"I don't like him, so I don't plan to give you the new recipe," Mo Wangchen said straightforwardly.

Ugh!

Lin Qing was instantly stunned, "This..."

"Young Master Zhang Hao, Master Mo's Alchemy skill far surpasses this old man's. Your earlier actions were indeed somewhat disrespectful. For the sake of refining the Spirit Transformation Pill more quickly, endure and apologize to him..."

Lin Qing whispered to Zhang Hao, lowering his voice and even winking at him.

At this moment, Zhang Hao was dumbstruck. If he didn't know Master Lin Qing's background, he probably would have already knocked him out on the spot for asking him to apologize to a frivolous young master.

"Humph! It's impossible for me to apologize to this guy!"

Zhang Hao suddenly snorted coldly and straightforwardly said, "At worst, I won't have the Spirit Transformation Pill, and who knows if what he says is true or false?"

Hearing Zhang Hao's words, Lin Qing's heart tightened, feeling ice-cold. It seemed Master Mo would indeed be angrier now.

That was a recipe offering a thirty percent success rate!

However, just as Lin Qing was about to cry, Lin Feng suddenly spoke, "There's no need to apologize. If you agree to one condition of mine, I will give the recipe to Master Lin Qing. Besides, you are already at the ninth level of the Vein Condensation Realm; with the Spirit Transformation Pill in hand, reaching the Spirit Transformation Realm is practically a certainty..."
