Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 43 - Skywind City
43: Chapter 43 Skywind City
43 -43 Skywind City
Jianye City and Fangtian City were located in the north of Yun Country, both were small cities.
If traveling on foot, with Mo Wangchen and his companion’s speed, it would likely take at least ten days to reach the county capital.
Before leaving Jianye City, Mo Wangchen had first purchased some medicinal materials to refine the Breakthrough Pill for Zhang Hao.
Although most of the materials were purchased in Jianye City, one main ingredient was still missing, so they had to go to some larger cities to buy it.
Three days later, the two arrived at another city, Skywind City!
Compared to Fangtian City and Jianye City, Skywind City was much more prosperous, and its power was far stronger.
Families like the Mo Family and the Zhang Family had at least five equivalents in Skywind City!
Upon entering the city, the two headed straight for the Alchemy Pavilion.
In Yun Country, no matter where one went, the Alchemy Pavilion was the largest trading place for medicinal materials.
If the main ingredient for the Breakthrough Pill was not available there, it was unlikely to be found elsewhere.
“What do you both wish to purchase in terms of pills?” asked a smiling servant as soon as they entered the Alchemy Pavilion.
Mo Wangchen shook his head, “I want to buy medicinal materials!”
“Medicinal materials?” The servant was taken aback, looking Mo Wangchen up and down, then quickly smiled again, “What kind of materials would you like to buy, sir?”
“Do you have Calming Flower?” Mo Wangchen asked.
The servant said nothing, instead leading them to where the materials were placed.
After all, he was merely a reception servant, and there were over a thousand types of medicinal materials sold in the Alchemy Pavilion, so he couldn’t remember them all.
“Please wait a moment, gentlemen.
I’ll look for it for you.” After arranging seats for Mo Wangchen and his companion, the servant cut a pot of tea and poured some, then began searching through the racks full of medicinal materials.
Before long, the servant returned, beads of sweat on his forehead, and sighed, “I’ve gone through all the medicinal materials, but couldn’t find the Calming Flower you wanted…”
The price of materials was equally high.
The servant had thought if he could really find the Calming Flower the customer wanted, he could also earn some reward.
Unexpectedly, his efforts were in vain.
Hearing this, Mo Wangchen slightly frowned.
Calming Flower was not a particularly rare material; logically, with Skywind City’s scale, it should have been available.
“Are all the materials here?” Mo Wangchen suddenly asked.
“Well…”
The servant hesitated, then replied, “Not necessarily, there are some materials at the back of the hall.
However, those materials are few in number and are not ordinarily for sale.
They are used by Master Su Ye and others for daily alchemy instead…”
“Master Su Ye?” Mo Wangchen was taken aback.
The servant nodded, smiled, and said, “You two do not appear to be from our Skywind City, are you?
Master Su Ye is the Pavilion Master here, currently a Second-Tier Alchemist, and is soon to participate in the assessment for becoming a Third-Tier Alchemist…”
“Oh?” So, it was the Pavilion Master.
Mo Wangchen nodded, and after a moment of silence, he looked at the servant and suddenly said, “Can I meet Master Su Ye?”
Since they were already here, if there were Calming Grass, Mo Wangchen naturally didn’t want to go through too much trouble.
It was best to obtain it immediately.
The sooner the Breakthrough Pill could be refined, the better, because he noticed that over the past few days, Zhang Hao had become somewhat strange, speaking much less.
Perhaps, he had already been affected by the Youlong Sword…
“To see Master Su Ye?”
Hearing Mo Wangchen’s words, the servant widened his eyes slightly, and his face showed some difficulty.
Su Ye was the only Second-Tier Alchemist in Skywind City, a prestigious figure, naturally not someone anyone could meet as they wished.
Although Mo Wangchen was a guest, and judging by his and Zhang Hao’s appearances, they should have some background, the servant didn’t think Master Su Ye would see them.
“Show him this.” Mo Wangchen handed a Jade Token to the servant.
This was the Alchemist Alliance Guest Alchemist Identity Token!
“This is…”
The servant was stunned as he clearly wasn’t familiar with such a token, but after a moment of silence, he said, “Please wait here!”
With that, he turned and left.
In front of a room in the Alchemy Pavilion, the servant looked at the Jade Token in his hand, his face a bit anxious.
After standing quietly for a moment, he gritted his teeth and lightly knocked on the door.
Before long, an old man opened the door.
His eyebrows slightly furrowed, a hint of displeasure on his face, “What is it?”
“M…
Master, a guest inside the pavilion wishes to meet you…” Naturally, the old man was Su Ye, the Pavilion Master of this city’s Alchemy Pavilion.
Seeing his expression, the servant instantly regretted coming over, thinking he shouldn’t have.
Su Ye frowned, “Didn’t I say?
The assessment for Third-Tier Alchemists in the Alliance is about to start, I need to focus on Alchemy Dao study during this period, and I won’t see anyone!”
With that, Su Ye snorted coldly, almost frightening the servant into a panic, thinking he might lose his job over this issue.
“That guest asked me to show you this.” As he spoke, the servant hurriedly presented the Jade Token in his hand.
“Mm?”
Upon seeing the Jade Token, Su Ye couldn’t help but frown slightly, “An Alliance Guest Elder’s badge?”
He thought it was some important figures from a major family in the city visiting, but it turned out to be an Alliance Guest Elder.
After the initial surprise, Su Ye asked, “Where is the person?”
The servant, whose heart had already sunk earlier, was overjoyed at hearing Su Ye really intended to meet someone after seeing the Jade Token, thinking his job might be safe.
Without further delay, he led Su Ye to Mo Wangchen’s location.
In no time, they went to where Mo Wangchen and Zhang Hao were seated.
Su Ye merely glanced at the seated Mo Wangchen and Zhang Hao and then asked the servant, “Where’s the person?”
He instinctively overlooked Mo Wangchen and Zhang Hao, as these two were very young and thus unlikely to be the arriving Alliance’s Guest Elder.
In the Alliance, there was no rank distinction of how many tiers an Alchemist had to reach to become a Guest Elder.
Be it a Third or even Fifth-Tier, they could become a Guest Elder, but the primary requirement was to be capable of refining Second-Tier Pills, essentially reaching the level of a Second-Tier Alchemist.
Such individuals, Su Ye thought, were usually slightly older.
Upon arriving here, he saw Mo Wangchen and Zhang Hao, two youths seated, so he assumed that the arriving Guest Elder was not present.
