"No need for formalities, sit down, and quickly tell me, who is your master?"
Hearing Emperor Feng Chun's words, Chu Mo's heart suddenly tightened, and he calmly watched Feng Chun.
As Feng Chun correctly predicted, he continued, "You can actually concoct a perfect quality Spiritual Origin Pill, you truly are skilled. Tell me about it, perhaps I know him!"
As he spoke, without waiting for Chu Mo to answer, he said, "That's not right. A master who can concoct perfect elixirs would not make a mediocre item like a Spiritual Origin Pill." Raising his eyes to look at Chu Mo, Emperor Feng Chun's eyes shot two sharp glances from beneath his thick eyebrows. Though they were gone in an instant, they gave Chu Mo a feeling of being seen through completely in that moment.
"Why is your cultivation level so low? You still haven't established your foundation... There aren't many weaklings like you in the entire Illusionary Divine Realm. You must be a young man of excellent lineage, but... of mediocre origin."
Emperor Feng Chun made no effort to sugarcoat his appraisal of Chu Mo.
Chu Mo was close to breaking into a cold sweat. Suddenly facing such a big shot from the Heavenly Realm, he felt as if he were transparent himself!
This meticulous analysis went straight to the bone!
This esteemed figure, who had just dealt with the shopkeepers of Lingdan Hall with a cool and serious demeanor that made it hard for them to even breath, was now very casual and relaxed around Chu Mo. He was acting as if he were facing one of his own juniors.
After Emperor Feng Chun had examined Chu Mo for a while, he withdrew his gaze and said, "So, it appears that you come from the Spirit Realm. Your master... he must be an extraordinary alchemist, but...I wonder, can he concoct more advanced elixirs?"
Chu Mo responded with a faint smile, "If there are ingredients, then Immortal Primordial Pills and Heavenly Primordial Pills... can naturally be made."
Feng Chun waved his hand dismissively, shaking his head. "You don't need to tell me that, I know it better than you do! The method of concocting Immortal Primordial Pills and Heavenly Primordial Pills and the Spiritual Origin Pill are almost identical. If you can concoct a Spiritual Origin Pill, then of course you can concoct Immortal Primordial Pills and Heavenly Primordial Pills..."
He glanced at Chu Mo and continued, "What I mean is, can your master concoct a higher-grade elixir? Like... at the Immortal level or even... Heavenly level?"
Feng Chun looked at Chu Mo with a calm gaze, but his immense spirit, characteristic of his Emperor status, enveloped Chu Mo in an instant.
It wouldn't create any sensation whatsoever in anybody, let alone a junior who hasn't even established his foundation, or even in cultivators of the Great Luo Golden Immortal or Heavenly Immortal stage...
Concocting an elixir of perfect quality is already remarkable. However, if one could concoct an elixir of the Immortal or even the Heavenly level.. It was not merely remarkable, but the mark of a true Grandmaster!
Such a person... would incite a mad scramble, no matter where they were!
Chu Mo clasped his fist and gave a wry smile, "The Emperor's eyes are sharp indeed. My master once said that, if there ever comes a day when I break into the Ascending Realm and pass through the great Heavenly Tribulation... and become a Great Luo Golden Immortal, I should be able to concoct elixirs of Immortal-grade quality..."
"Breaking into Ascending... advancing to the Immortal Realm?" Feng Chun glanced at Chu Mo: "Are you from the Immortal Realm?"
Chu Mo shook his head. He pressed his lips together and didn't say anything. A shy expression flitted across his deep-gazing eyes as if he was embarrassed to utter a word.
"I see, you are from the Spirit Realm. There's one thing your master got wrong: If he can concoct a Perfect Quality Spiritual Origin Pill at the Primordial Infant stage, then he doesn't need to advance to the stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal. He should be able to concoct a high-quality elixir of Immortal grade at the Ascending stage alone," Emperor Feng Chun looked at Chu Mo and said with certainty.
"Ascending... Really possible?" Chu Mo slightly furrowed his eyebrows. "Master said, without experiencing a great Heavenly Tribulation, one simply cannot comprehend that kind of supreme realm of elixir concoction..."
Emperor Feng Chun gave a chuckle, "Your master... is indeed a very insightful person. Even though breaking into the Ascending stage in the Heavenly Realm won't invoke a great Heavenly Tribulation, real Heavenly Geniuses would purposefully trigger it for self-refinement. Among cultivators who have undergone the Great Heavenly Tribulation, eight or nine out of ten go on to surpass those who have not. Naturally, the same logic applies to the way of concocting elixirs."
Chu Mo heaved a sigh of relief inwardly, counting himself lucky.
The refined middle-aged man in front of him was no ordinary person, not just an Emperor-grade big shot, but also the Emperor-grade big shot behind the Lingdan Hall. Lying in front of him was exceptionally challenging.
Luckily for Chu Mo, Emperor Feng Chun had never considered that this young man could come from the Mortal Realm, a realm countless times weaker than the Spirit Realm, let alone that this young man possessed a divine artifact that all elixir masters coveted – the Chaos Furnace.
"How did you ascertain that the elixir inside my bottle... is surely a Perfect Quality Spiritual Origin Pill?" Chu Mo was somewhat curious about this.
From start to finish, Emperor Feng Chun had not once opened the bottle containing the Perfect Quality Spiritual Origin Pill to have a look. Also, the medicine bottle didn't give off any aura. How did he make such a certain conclusion?
Feng Chun gave a faint smile, looking at Chu Mo, "Don't forget, I am a part of the Lingdan Hall!"
"..." Chu Mo looked at Feng Chun somewhat speechlessly, "Is everyone from Lingdan Hall... this formidable?"
"Only I!" Feng Chun looked at Chu Mo, "If it were someone else, they certainly couldn't be this formidable!"
Emperor Feng Chun continued to speak as he opened the pill bottle, which contained a total of three Spiritual Origin Pills. He poured out one and said with a smile, "Look at this... Perfect Quality, right? Hmm? Wait... there's something wrong!"
At first, Feng Chun still maintained a slightly mischievous smile on his face, like an old child. But when he saw the pill in his hand, his eyes widened as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. The look in his eyes was instantly filled with shock.
Then, Feng Chun's expression became solemn, as he held up the pill and took a careful whiff of it, muttering to himself, "This quality... has reached the peak of perfection, missing only the slightest bit to reach the level of Immortal-grade quality! However, this bit is not a reflection of alchemy skills but is merely the highest attainable level for these medicinal herbs without wasting any of their medicinal properties. However, such technique... it seems to exist only in theory..."
Feng Chun had now lost his initial seriousness when facing the shopkeepers, as well as his earlier relaxed mood while chatting with Chu Mo. He became unusually serious, his entire attention focused on the pill in his hand.
"Such divine technique! Even the Pill Emperor himself couldn't create a pill of this quality when he was alive!" As Feng Chun murmured to himself, he then lifted his gaze to Chu Mo, his eyes like two sharp daggers, piercing into Chu Mo. "Even an elixir master of Grandmaster status cannot concoct an elixir of such quality. The medicinal efficacy preserved in this pill so perfectly, without a smidgen of dispersal... It's impossible! Do you have a divine artifact?"
This last sentence, though a question, sounded like a booming bell, instantly exploding in Chu Mo's sea of consciousness.
Unconscious, Chu Mo was about to nod his head in admission. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
