Chapter 970: Success or Failure
"Greetings, Senior Fang Yuan."
Outside the courtyard, Fang Yuan arrived, and Mu Xi and the others hurried to pay their respects, even the Great Elder did the same.
In front of a demigod like Fang Yuan, who in this world would dare to show disrespect?
Even the Luoyue Saint Master, standing before him, could only appear polite.
Though they are both at the Saint Master level, compared to Fang Yuan, he is far behind.
Below the Holy Emperor, the demigod reigns supreme!
This is not just idle talk; besides the Holy Emperor, demigods are the most powerful beings in heaven and earth.
"How is the pill development going?"
Fang Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking towards the room in the courtyard. He caught a rich medicinal aroma and knew that Mo Wangchen was probably performing alchemy at this moment, so he did not enter to disturb him.
As soon as he received a letter sent by someone on behalf of Mo Wangchen, Fang Yuan rushed over without delay.
He had once ventured deep into the Cold Martial Land searching for the Fang Family's ancestor, and now, if Mo Wangchen could really develop a pill to resist the Curse Power, he would not miss the opportunity to investigate.
"It's been several days, and a lot of herbs should have been consumed, but..."
The Great Elder sighed with worry, as he did not wish for the efforts of the Luoyue Immortal Palace to go in vain.
Hearing this, Fang Yuan nodded, randomly finding a spot to sit cross-legged, "Let's wait a bit longer. Developing a new pill is not a matter of a day or two. However, it's rare for Master Mo to have such an idea, perhaps he might actually succeed, who knows, give him some time."
"Master Mo..."
Hearing Fang Yuan's words, everyone, including the Luoyue Saint Master and the Great Elder, couldn't help but show surprise on their faces.
"Even Fang Yuan uses such a title for him..."
The Luoyue Saint Master's heart was surprised. This is a demigod, and even Elder Hai must show respect to him. It is no exaggeration to say that Fang Yuan's status and position are already considered the highest below the Holy Emperor in the Xuanwu Alliance.
Yet, despite this, even he referred to Mo Wangchen with respect, which was truly hard to believe.
The most surprised were Mu Xi and the others, as they did not know how accomplished Mo Wangchen was in Alchemy Dao.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a thunderous explosion echoed, startling the entire Luoyue Immortal Palace.
Everyone simultaneously looked up, their eyes filled with astonishment.
"Has someone achieved a breakthrough?"
"No! It's an Alchemy Tribulation!"
The disciples were amazed and puzzled by the sudden tribulation, their hearts filled with curiosity.
In contrast, upon seeing the emergence of the tribulation, those outside the courtyard, like the Luoyue Saint Master, couldn't help but have their hearts in their throats, their eyes showing joy.
"Succeed... succeeded?"
An Alchemy Tribulation only appears during the alchemy process when a pill is formed.
And right now, wasn't Mo Wangchen in that room developing the so-called Divine Fire Pill?
"Speed!"
In the distance, two figures swiftly approached; they were Elder Hai and Zhang Mingyuan.
They had just returned and rested only a short while before they saw the tribulation, which filled them with excitement, and they rushed over without stopping.
"What a formidable tribulation, this pill should have reached the second grade of the Holy Rank, right?" The Great Elder exclaimed in surprise.
"It should be second grade of the Holy Rank." Elder Hai and Zhang Mingyuan nodded.
In fact, they couldn't confirm what grade the Divine Fire Pill was, because the herbs used in alchemy varied. They didn't know which specific herbs Mo Wangchen successfully used to produce the pill.
Hence, they couldn't determine its exact grade.
However, judging from the strength of the tribulation at the moment, it should be around the second grade of the Holy Rank, without a doubt.
"Retreat!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a stern voice emerged from within the room.
The next moment, endless Divine Fire appeared out of nowhere, engulfing the entire void like a sea of fire.
"Buzzing!"
The sky darkened, and the rolling thunderclouds were eventually pushed back and dissipated by the Divine Fire.
"Is this what he meant by perception beyond the ordinary..."
The Great Elder of Luoyue Immortal Palace was shaken, feeling the terrifying nature of the Divine Fire that could even burn away the Alchemy Tribulation.
Although he hadn't engaged in Alchemy Dao himself, he'd seen many pill masters perform alchemy, yet he had never seen anyone achieve what Mo Wangchen had, condensing life through perception.
No wonder both Elder Hai and Zhang Mingyuan referred to him as Master.
With the dispersal of the thunderclouds, the sky gradually regained its brightness.
Before long, at the focal point of everyone's gaze, Mo Wangchen pushed open the door and walked out slowly.
It was obvious that his face was now filled with exhaustion.
"Master Mo, was it a success?" Elder Hai asked, his heart filled with excitement.
Mo Wangchen simply smiled, extended his hand, and a pill entirely blood-red in color appeared in his palm. He slowly exhaled and said, "It succeeded, this is the Divine Fire Pill."
"I have understood the herbs, methods, and precautions needed during alchemy. I will draft a new alchemy recipe shortly and pass it on to you two, so you can start making some. This pill is at the second grade of the Holy Rank, which shouldn't be too difficult for you."
Saying this, Mo Wangchen then turned his gaze to the Luoyue Saint Master, offering the Divine Fire Pill in his hand, "Senior, you may have someone take this pill to the outskirts of the Cold Martial Land to see if it is truly effective against the Curse Power within."
Although the pill had been made, whether it was effective or how effective it could be, Mo Wangchen couldn't guarantee, so he needed someone to experiment with it.
"Let me go," Fang Yuan suddenly stood up.
"Uh..."
Mo Wangchen was taken aback and turned to look, not having noticed his presence earlier, surprised that he was also here within Luoyue Immortal Palace.
"Very well. Senior Fang Yuan has entered before; if possible, go deeper this time to see how much Curse Power the Divine Fire Pill can indeed resist."
Fang Yuan nodded, taking the Divine Fire Pill from Mo Wangchen, and with a single stride, his figure vanished before anyone's eyes.
Soon after, everyone dispersed, and Mo Wangchen returned to his residence, drafting a new alchemy recipe to be handed over to Elder Hai and Zhang Mingyuan.
He also made a list of the herbs required for the recipe, giving it to the people of Luoyue Immortal Palace to purchase them in large quantities.
Fortunately, the herbs used in Mo Wangchen's successful alchemy earlier did not include any that were too rare or precious.
After completing all these tasks, Mo Wangchen stayed in his room to recuperate,
What awaited now was Fang Yuan's return to see if the so-called Divine Fire Pill truly had the effect of resisting the Curse.
