The Demon God Emperor
Ch. 333 - Elder Mu
Therefore, the, many alchemist masters were willing to register their pill refining level in the pill tower in order to qualify for the discount and could also accept the offer from the Golden Palace to refine the pills needed to obtain gifts in the form of spirit stones.
All the benefits provided were to attract more alchemist masters to stand by the side of the Golden Palace.
After scanning Qing Shan repeatedly, the otu woman made a guess in her heart. 'This guy is too young. He should be a Second Star Alchemist Master. Her appearance may look mature, but her bone age can never lie.!"
"alright. Then, please help me to ask Elder Mu here. I'm afraid you can't test the refining level of my pills."
"What?! Don't tell me you're a Three Star Alchemist Master! Uh. I'm sorry for losing my cool. I'll leave now, excuse me.”
The woman's eyes became astonished gazes. Among all the cultivators he welcomed in their pill south tower, only a few were disciples from influential sects who could reach the level of a Three Star Alchemist Master at such a young age.
"Even though he's only 20 years old, I shouldn't offend him!" Before he left, he paused and stared at Qing Shan for a moment with a flame of desire.
“My name is Ya Lan. If Master Zhang has no partner, I am willing to be yours.”
“Uhuk. Uhuk!!! Actually I already have a Dao partner!”
"Oh really? Then forget it!"
The woman did not seem to be ashamed of her actions. It was a reality that often occurred in the cultivation world. She willingly gave up her pride and offered herself to become Qing Shan's concubine if she was truly a Three Star Alchemist Master. At that time, his future in the cultivation world would be bright. However, that dream could only exist in his imagination.
"I'll call for Elder Mu. Remember, Elder Mu is a peak Three-star Alchemist Master. He's a grumpy guy. You should be polite when you meet him.”
Qing Shan was then taken to a room on the second floor of the pill tower. As he was on his way, he saw many Gold Realm and Soul Realm experts in the other room. Most of them were Three Star Alchemist Masters.
Each of them looked at Qing Shan haughtily every time they passed through their room. Qing Shan did not take issue with their insulting gazes as most of the Alchemist Masters behaved like that.
After a while later, Ya Lan went to one of the rooms and returned carrying an old man wearing a luxurious robe. He had a radiant face and a pair of sharp eyes that kept a trace of impatience. People knew him as Elder Mu.
When he sensed that Qing Shan's cultivation level was merely that of a Semi Natural Gold expert, his eyes narrowed.
“Ya Lan! I was in an important condition to understand my strength. I don't have time to waste. If this young man is not the Three Alchemist Master, I will definitely punish you!”
"Good Elder." Ya Lan sighed softly. He had no idea that Elder M had just come out of seclusion with no results which caused his mood to go bad.
When Elder Mu spread his spirit senses to study Qing Shan, he felt a sharp pain within his sea of consciousness. His narrowed eyes were now widened in slight surprise.
“This young sister is very unusual. Come on, follow me to the pill refining room. I'll test your skills.” Elder Mu forcefully said and gave a smile. Upon seeing the smile on her face, Ya Lan heaved a sigh of relief.
But, Qing Shan did not take a step, instead asking, "I have a question. What is the maximum pill refining rate that Fellow cultivator Mu can test?”
"Hmm? Since I am a High-tier Three Star Alchemist Master, I can test the refining level of any pill below that level. If you were truly a peak Three-star Alchemist Master, I would definitely know!”
"So so. It was a pity that Fellow Mu traveled in vain. Your refining technique is above the peak of the Three Stars. I think I should trouble others in this south tower to test my skills.”.
When Qing Shan's words were finished, Ya Lan and Elder Mu looked at him with looks of disbelief.
Elder Mu's smile disappeared and he was seen putting on an emotionless wakah, thinking that the Three Star Alchemist Master was lying. "Report Zhang, are you kidding me?"
Every year, many pill experts would make false statements about their pill refining techniques, trying their luck to break into the higher floors of the Gold Tower. It was already his habit to stop believing in Alchemists who seemed to be exaggerating about their pill refining techniques.
If there were any other alternatives, Qing Shan would never choose to publicize the refining level of his pills. Revealing it is an act that invites danger.
However, Qing Shan had no choice.
Qing Shan then took out the box from his s.p.a.ce bag. When the lid of the box was opened, there was a greenish pill that glittered when exposed to sunlight.
“I think you misunderstood my intentions. You can judge me after seeing the pills in this box first.”
Ya Lan was not surprised at all upon seeing the pill. But Elder Mu could no longer maintain his composure.
"This ... This was a Four Star Pill - a Soul Pill!"
Elder Mu had seen this pill several times throughout his life even though he was unable to refine the pill himself. He even bought one for himself to keep on the day when he would form his own Soul Core. What surprised him the most was the quality of the pill. He had never seen a pill of such quality with a trace of god intent! Moreover, this pill was flawless as if it was formed by nature itself.
The strong evidence that proved the truth of Qing Shan making the pill was the traces of qi left inside the pill.
“Rekan Zhang. No. gabe. Master Zhang! These.. Are these pills really made by you ?!"
Elder Mu who was once arrogant and had a contemptuous look at everyone he met, became confused as he stood in front of Qing Shan.
"Really! Is this evidence enough? Am I now qualified enough to ask a better alchemist master to test my pill refining technique?"
"Yes-yes! Sure was! However, only the ruler or leader of this southern tower can test you. However, our Prnguasa pill tower is slightly different from the other three pill towers. My master is a woman and she is not an Alchemist Master. However, he was able to test up to alchemist masters who had pill refining techniques up to star-”
Elder Mu pointed out his five fingers without continuing his sentence.
