Crisis of the Alchemy Guild 203: 202.
Crisis of the Alchemy Guild There was another reason why Ye Qianzhong was targeting Fengyun City’s Alchemy Guild: he once had his eyes on a talented young man in alchemy, from Beishan Country.
Ye Qianzhong wanted to take him as his closed-door disciple.
However, the young man had been saved by the guild president Fu Chunxing, who was traveling outside at the time.
So, he refused Ye Qianzhong’s offer and joined Fengyun City’s Alchemy Guild instead…
Ye Qianzhong was a petty person, and because of this grudge over the disciple, he hated the Fengyun City Alchemy Guild and often targeted them.
He was somewhat restrained when both guild presidents were present.
But when President Fu Chunxing had been away for many years, news somehow leaked, giving Ye Qianzhong an opportunity to provoke them repeatedly…
Luckily, Vice President Fu Chunming’s level in alchemy was close to Ye Qianzhong’s, so Ye Qianzhong never succeeded.
The Vice President rubbed his eyebrows, feeling that Ye Qianzhong’s arrival would bring trouble…
As soon as this thought arose, Great Elder and Second Elder returned, and just from their faces, it was clear that something had happened…
“Why the long faces?
If there’s something to say, just say it!” the Vice President said irritably.
“Vice President, Ye Qianzhong sent a challenge post to you!” The Great Elder frowned and handed the post to the Vice President.
The Vice President looked at it, and it clearly stated that after three days, Ye Qianzhong would personally come to the Alchemy Guild and challenge his alchemy skills.
If he lost, the Fengyun City Alchemy Guild would be taken over by the Beifeng City Alchemy Guild, and if he won, it would be the same…
“You two have that expression, does it mean Ye Qianzhong, that beast, has broken through in his alchemy level?” The Vice President asked knowingly, with certainty in his tone.
Just as he thought, Ye Qianzhong came prepared!
He had also been stuck at the high-level alchemist stage for many years and couldn’t break through to become a grandmaster-level alchemist.
He originally thought that Ye Qianzhong was also a high-level alchemist, but he never expected that Ye Qianzhong would break through before he did.
No wonder he dared to challenge him so blatantly…
“Vice President, what should we do now?
We can’t get in touch with the President, and there are no grandmaster-level alchemists in our guild either!” The Great Elder said with a worried look on his face.
“Forget it, let it be!
I will go into seclusion for these three days.
You guys send someone to bring Chenluo back, and you guys can handle the guild’s affairs first!” The Vice President finished speaking, then turned around and returned to his room.
The Great Elder and Second Elder could only leave the Vice President’s small courtyard.
“Elder, you go to the Mo Residence to bring Chenluo back, and I’ll go wake the other elders!” The Great Elder thought for a moment and then said to the Second Elder.
“Fine, I’ll go find Chenluo to come back now!” The Second Elder said before setting off for the Mo Residence.
General Mo’s Mansion
The Second Elder followed the housekeeper of the Mo Residence to the backyard, where he saw the Four Mo Family Elders sitting drinking tea.
Mo Chenluo and Mo Chenyun were watching Baobao refine pills on the side.
From a distance, the Second Elder smelled a strong fragrance of medicine in the air and guessed that Chenluo must be refining pills.
However, as he approached, he heard Mo Chenluo exclaiming in surprise, “Baobao, how did you refine so many elixirs at once?”
“Maternal Uncle, are these considered a lot?
My mother makes more than me every time!” Baobao said nonchalantly.
Just now, the ancestors wanted to see her refine pills, so she refined some pills out of boredom to show them.
But she didn’t refine many, only about 20 elixirs…
“This isn’t a lot?
I can only refine 10 elixirs at a time, okay?” Mo Chenluo said, feeling a bit defeated.
He used to think he was impressive, but when compared to Baobao, he was simply too weak.
Mo Chenluo felt melancholic…
Seeing Mo Chenluo’s defeated look, Mo Chenyun and the Four Mo Family Elders were in a good mood.
Their Baobao was so skilled in alchemy at such a young age, which was truly remarkable…
“Chenluo.” Second Elder followed the housekeeper over and called out to Mo Chenluo, who was turning his dejected face towards the door.
“Second Elder, what brings you here?” Mo Chenluo looked up and asked curiously when he heard the elder’s voice.
“Fourth Master, this elder said he came to find you, so I brought him in!” The housekeeper explained before retreating.
“Okay, I understand.
Second Elder, please come in!” Mo Chenluo courteously replied to the housekeeper, then led the Second Elder into the small courtyard…
“This is Second Elder from our Alchemy Guild!” Mo Chenluo introduced him to several people in the courtyard, then looked at the Second Elder and continued, “This is my third brother Mo Chenyun, and these are our Mo Family’s ancestors!”
“Greetings to the ancestors!” The Second Elder nodded at Mo Chenyun and bowed respectfully to the ancestors.
“No need to be polite.
You can talk about your business; we’ll go for a walk!” The Four Elders of the Mo Family didn’t want to get involved in worldly affairs and got up to leave.
“Baobao, the great ancestor will take you to play!” Mo Chun said to Baobao.
“Okay!”
“Little girl, what are you doing here?” Baobao hadn’t finished speaking when the Second Elder asked in shock.
“Why can’t I be here?
What are you doing here, old grandpa?” Baobao had recognized the Second Elder when he entered but didn’t say anything.
“Great, you’re here.
Is your mother here too?
That’s great!
As long as she’s here, our Alchemy Guild is saved!
This is wonderful!” Second Elder babbled excitedly when he saw Baobao.
Baobao despised the Second Elder’s words and said, “Old Grandpa, I can tell you that my mother will not like you.
You’re too old.
You should just give up that idea before you get too excited!”
At these words, Mo Chenluo’s gaze also looked dissatisfied at the Second Elder.
Could it be that the Second Elder was interested in Jiuli?
He would not agree…
The Second Elder noticed their gazes, paused, and then looked at Baobao grievously, “Little girl, I didn’t mean it like that, okay!
Chenluo, this is the situation…”
So, the Second Elder briefly explained the situation with Ye Qianzhong coming to Fengyun City…
Upon hearing this, Mo Chenluo also became angry, “I didn’t expect that old horseman to have broken through to become a grandmaster-level alchemist so quickly!
Wait, you said Jiuli is also a grandmaster-level alchemist?”
Mo Chenluo asked in surprise.
They knew Jiuli could refine pills but didn’t know about her level.
They didn’t expect Jiuli to be a grandmaster-level alchemist!
“Jiuli?
Is this little girl’s mother?
Could it be that her mother is Mo Jiuli, the legitimate daughter of the Mo Family?” Second Elder asked, somewhat surprised.
