Staying in Black Royal City for the time being, frantically refining pills.

Mo Tianxing’s pupils suddenly constricted. He stared intently at the badge representing a Seventh-Rank Alchemist, his heart pounding wildly.

This badge couldn't be faked!

On the continent, no one dared to casually impersonate a high-level Alchemist; that would make them a public enemy of all Alchemists.

The muscles on his face twitched, and he forcibly suppressed the tumultuous waves in his heart.

He hadn't expected him to be not only a Dou Zong but also a Seventh-Rank Alchemist.

Even the Black Emperor Sect’s number one Alchemist had only just touched the threshold of a Sixth-Rank Alchemist.

He was still a bit short of becoming a Sixth-Rank Alchemist.

But he heard it was coming soon.

As for a Seventh-Rank Alchemist, he couldn't imagine how formidable their Alchemy skills were.

His thoughts flickered.

When he looked up again, Mo Tianxing’s smile carried an unprecedented warmth and respect, even a hint of imperceptible flattery.

“So it was Great Master who graced us with your presence! Please forgive my poor eyesight.”

He cupped his hands, his tone far more humble than before.

He naturally didn't need to be so polite to a Dou Zong, but a Seventh-Rank Alchemist was different.

One must know that a Seventh-Rank Alchemist was an existence even Dou Zuns would treat with respect.

“I need to stay in Black Emperor City for a while during this period. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Sect Master Mo during this time.”

He had his own plans: according to the original trajectory, the bodhi transformation saliva would appear at the Black Emperor Sect’s auction.

Such a rare item couldn't appear out of thin air. Mo Tianxing would likely receive news soon, or at least have clues. Staying here would allow him to collect other Medicinal Materials needed to refine Eighth Grade Pills while awaiting the right moment.

Staying here would allow him to collect other Medicinal Materials needed to refine Eighth Grade Pills while awaiting the right moment.

“It is the honor of my Black Emperor Sect for Great Master to wish to stay in Black Emperor City! I, Mo, will make arrangements immediately to ensure Great Master and the ladies have a comfortable stay!”

“However, I ask Sect Master Mo to temporarily conceal my identity as a Seventh-Rank Alchemist. I still have some matters to attend to in the Black-Corner Region.”

Shen Wen said.

“Understood.” Mo Tianxing nodded hastily.

He immediately called Che Cheng, who was outside.

“Elder Che, immediately go and prepare the ‘Heaven’ character courtyard. Invite Great Master Kun Peng and his party to stay!

All their needs must be met!”

“Yes, Sect Master!” Che Cheng dared not delay and quickly responded before leaving... Only after Shen Wen and the others disappeared outside the Black Emperor Pavilion.

Mo Tianxing’s enthusiastic smile slowly faded, replaced by extreme solemnity.

He looked at his son, Mo Ya, beside him and commanded in a deep voice:

“Ya’er, during this time, you will personally be responsible for entertaining Great Master and his party.”

He stared sharply at Mo Ya, his tone carrying an unprecedented sternness.

“Remember, your attitude must be respectful, and there must be no slightest neglect!

Keep your eyes peeled; don't look at things you shouldn't!

Such a young Dou Zong, and a Seventh-Rank Alchemist, anyone with a brain knows he must be a fierce Dragon crossing the river from the Central Plains!

Perhaps... he might even be a disciple from those legendary Hidden Families!”

After all, Mo Tianxing had been entrenched in the Black-Corner Region for so many years, so he naturally knew a lot of hidden information that even other Empires in the Northwest Continent didn't know.

He even had some understanding of the legendary so-called Imperial Clan.

Mo Tianxing took a deep breath.

“Our Black Emperor Sect cannot afford to offend such a person. On the contrary, if we can use this opportunity to form a connection, it will only bring us immense benefits! Do you understand?”

Mo Ya’s heart trembled under his father’s gaze, and he quickly lowered his head.

“Father, don't worry, your son understands the gravity of the situation.”

He swallowed, recalling the several stunning women from earlier. Although his heart still fluttered, he felt more fear.

He was lustful, but not an idiot.

A Seventh-Rank Alchemist so young, the potential power behind him was enough to easily crush the entire Black-Corner Region.

He still had that much self-awareness... Although the courtyard arranged by the Black Emperor Sect was not as luxurious as the Jia Ma Empire’s Imperial Palace, it was spacious and elegant enough for Shen Wen and his group to temporarily settle down.

Cai Lin, being pregnant,

spent most of her time in quiet meditation, sensing the faint but vigorous new life within her.

Cao Ying and Dan Chen huddled together, studying the poison pill ancient texts brought from the Izumo Empire, occasionally exchanging whispers.

Xiao Yi Xian was familiarizing herself with the newly controlled Netherworld Poison Flame within her body. The pale purple flame dancing on her fingertips carried a terrifying toxicity, yet obediently followed her guidance.

Qing Lin was the most well-behaved, either Cultivating herself or quietly sitting by the side, listening to her sisters talk.

Shen Wen was not idle; he directly entered the temporarily arranged quiet room.

With a wave of his hand, he summoned the ancient heaven burning cauldron, its crimson body emitting a scorching aura.

“I need to refine some Medicinal Pills for backup first,” he muttered. “In this Black-Corner Region, without hard currency, it won't work. Medicinal Pills are the best currency.”

To collect those rare Medicinal Materials, without enough valuable Medicinal Pills, it wouldn't be possible.

At the same time, he multitasked, his Internal Skill quietly operating.

After Breaking through to Dou Zong, he could clearly feel that his Physical Body seemed to have opened a new floodgate, with immense potential yet to be tapped.

The Heavenly Dragon Qi he possessed earlier could be further refined and fused with the Azure Heaven Hegemon Body.

Faint, almost imperceptible Dragon roars echoed within him, and his muscles, bones, and skin were undergoing subtle yet continuous strengthening.

Moreover, it might be due to the True Dragon Precious Art and the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art.

He had already gained some insight into the Dragon Head Divine Form, one of the Nine Divine Forms within the Azure Heaven Hegemon Body, and should be able to use it soon.

He knew clearly that the Hall of Souls’ influence was deeply entrenched in the Black-Corner Region.

Having killed three Protectors in one go in the Jia Ma Empire, the Hall of Souls would certainly not let this debt go.

Coupled with the message from the old man.

The people from the Hall of Souls were probably already extensively searching for his traces. With the old man watching over the Central Plains, there wouldn't be any Dou Saints appearing.

But if he encountered a Dou Zun, Shen Wen would at least need the ability to deal with it... Several days passed in a flash.

The door to the quiet room slowly opened, and Shen Wen walked out, a hint of fatigue on his face, but his eyes were still bright.

Several consecutive days of Alchemy had taken a considerable toll, even on him.

Mainly, to speed things up, he used the Future Non-Existence Sutra for multitasking and continuously activated the Flame Ancestral Symbol to intensify the flames.

This consumed a lot of mental energy.

“Husband, you're out?” Cao Ying was the first to greet him, seeing the fatigue on his face, she tenderly linked her arm through his. “What good things did you refine this time?”

“Ten Huangji Pills, twenty-two Dou Ling Pills. And some Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pills, as well as many Medicinal Pills from second to third grade.”

These were Shen Wen’s gains over the past few days. His Alchemy speed could be described as a nuclear-powered money printer, possessing a Heavenly Realm Soul and the Flame Ancestral Symbol.

It could be said that he almost maximized the medicinal power of the Medicinal Materials, with virtually no waste.

“The Materials for seventh-grade pills are hard to gather, and they cause too much commotion, so they're not useful for now.”
