Everyone looked at the incoming person upon hearing the words.
Dou Yongjun hurriedly explained: The young man just now, from the perspective of the Four Grade Alchemist, wants to test his cultivation of medicine, and I explained the rules to him very clearly, and he also accepted the regulations of the Alchemy Association.
Chang Baoshan glanced at Ding Qingyao and Zhou Manrui, what relationship do you have with him? Why didn't you stop him? Do you know how valuable the medicinal materials needed for a Four Grade Alchemist to test his medicine is? The value of a four-grade pill is even more exorbitant. Have you ever seen him refine pills?
Ding Qingyao and Zhou Manru shook their heads.
Chang Baoshan was even more angry, you people are just messing around. Even if I am the president, I can't guarantee a 100% success every time. How dare a young man from nowhere have the audacity to try to become a high-level alchemist? You people are also following them blindly.
Ding Qingyao and Zhou Manru looked at Chang Baoshan. It's true that he has a Golden Dan on his body. We witnessed it with our own eyes.
Chang Baoshan said furiously, "Just because he has a Golden Dan, does that make him definitely a senior alchemist? There's a possibility that he bought someone else's medicine, or another possibility is that it's an elementary Golden Dan."
Ding Qingyao said, "He gave my parents and my aunt and uncle each a Breakthrough Golden Pill."
The people from the Alchemy Association were shocked beyond words upon hearing Ding Qingyao's words. They all looked at her in disbelief, "What kind of breakthrough golden pill are you talking about? Or four of them? Are you afraid that I will blame you and say such things?" Even if I refine breakthrough golden pill, it's only a few percent chance, and you think he's a six-level alchemist?
Ding Qingyao said, "Do I have a reason to lie to you? It's true that he is our Dao Companion. But we will not abandon our dignity to deceive others. I don't know the exact number of his breakthrough golden pill, but he has already brought out nearly twenty breakthrough golden pill. He and another Dao Companion, as well as his cousin, have each consumed one. He also gave my mother-in-law ten."
The members of the Alchemy Association were utterly shocked upon hearing this. Such a precious breakthrough golden pill is something that even the Alchemy Association can only auction five of in a year. And here he is, bringing out nearly twenty. If he wanted to buy that many, there wouldn't be anywhere to buy them. Could he really be a six-level alchemist? He's not even that old! Even a genius in alchemy couldn't accomplish this. If he really is a six-level alchemist, then he would be an extraordinary prodigy among prodigies.
While they were discussing in confusion, the scent of medicine began to emanate from the alchemy room.
Chang Baoshan, after smelling the medicine scent, muttered to himself: Is he really a six-level alchemist? This is too discouraging. If he truly is a six-level alchemist, wouldn't we all become garbage? He's only in his twenties and is already a six-level alchemist, while we are in our fifties and early forties and are only at the fourth or fifth level. This is a gap between heaven and earth.
Mowen Jie walked out of the fourth-level alchemy room and approached Dou Yongjun. "The medicinal materials provided by your Alchemy Association are for making Jiling Dan (a pill to concentrate spiritual energy). I won't take advantage of your Alchemy Association's materials. I've made four fifth-grade golden pills from a batch of materials, and with the Alchemy Association's materials, I've also achieved two with my alchemical skill. Do you have any objections?"
Dou Yongjun was still in a state of shock, and hadn't fully recovered from it yet.
Chang Baoshan hurriedly said, "No objection! Absolutely no objection!"
Mowen Jie glanced at him and asked, "Who are you, and can you keep your word?"
Dou Yongjun quickly introduced, "This is Chang Baoshan, the President of the Alchemy Association."
Mowen Jie glanced at Chang Baoshan and asked, "Are you the president of the Alchemy Association? Based on the pills I have made, what level alchemist can the Alchemy Association evaluate me as?"
Chang Baoshan said, "Based on your alchemical strength and the number of successful pills, you can be considered a level six alchemist. May I know your family name and given name?"
Mowen Jie replied: Mowen Jie!
Chang Baoshan bowed respectfully, "Please, Master Mo, attend the final competition tomorrow. Your final rating as an alchemist will be determined based on your performance in the final, and we will award you with the senior alchemist grade emblem and certificate."
Mowen Jie smiled and nodded, "Alright, we will take our leave. I will be there tomorrow to participate in the final competition."
Chang Baoshan and others bowed in unison, "Farewell to Master Mo!"
Zhou Manru asked, "How do you all address Wenjie as a master?"
Chang Baoshan replied, "There is no distinction between entering the Dao and not. The accomplished are our teachers."
Mowen Jie stepped out of the Alchemy Association and gave Ding Qingyao a wicked grin. Do you remember what certain people have said?"
Ding Qingyao gave him a disapproving look. "It's just about getting married on a good day, right? What's such a big deal? Just go home and let our elders choose an auspicious date, and then see what you have to say."
Mowen Jie extended his right index finger and waved it back and forth. No, no, no!
Ding Qingyao thought he didn't want to marry her, and immediately became upset. "If you don't want to marry me, what do you want? Do you want to go back on your word? We were promised since we were kids. How can you disobey our parents and go against their wishes?"
Mowen Jie chuckled, "What I meant by waving my hand was that if you lose, you should be willing to accept the bet and not back out."
Ding Qingyao said, "I have already agreed to get married on a convenient day. How can I be a liar?"
Mowen Jie cunningly grinned, "Are you saying that if I can become a fourth-level alchemist, you'll agree to get married on a convenient day?"
Ding Qingyao replied categorically, "That's right!"
Mowen Jie continued, "Now that I have become a sixth-level alchemist, am I not higher than you by two levels?"
Ding Qingyao said, "That's right. You are now a senior alchemist, and I have also agreed to get married on a convenient day!"
Mowen Jie shook his head, "That's not correct. I said that if I become a fourth-level alchemist, we'll get married on that day. I'm not a fourth-level alchemist anymore, so when we'll get married is hard to say. Since that's the case, if I'm two levels higher, shouldn't we consummate the marriage tonight? This is about rewarding as well as penalizing, right?"
Ding Qingyao was asked by Mowen Jie, and was speechless. She couldn't think of a response for half a day.
She thought for a while and blushed, her face turning red. She pouted playfully and said, "Dream on!"
Mowen Jie smiled as he looked at Zhou Manru, "Some people are unwilling to lose and accept defeat. But I'm not one to impose hardships on others. Tonight, you'll have to endure my company."
Zhou Manru's face turned bright red, and she didn't have a chance to answer before.
Ding Qingyao blushed with anger and said, "You dare, Mowen Jie!"
The three of them teased each other back to the hall of Zhou's family estate.
Ding Guocheng, Kang Yuning, Ding Feiyun, and Zhan Tianshuo were all very curious to know the result of Mowen Jie's registration.
Ding Qingyao glared at Mowen Jie with a scornful look and said indignantly, "I never thought that some bastard is a sixth-level alchemist. Even the president of the Alchemy Association has to call that badass a master."
The four people laughed heartily upon hearing this.
Kang Yuning looked at Mowen Jie and said, "What's wrong with you that you have offended Qingyao? She looks so unwilling. She must have been made a fool of again by you."
Mowen Jie didn't even look at Ding Qingyao and said directly, "Sigh! Some people refuse to accept defeat after making a bet and go back on their word!"
Ding Qingyao was so angry upon hearing this that she was about to burst with fury. She really feared that Mowen Jie, this scoundrel, would bring up the bet and marriage thing, which would be incredibly embarrassing. She reached out and grabbed Mo Wenjie's waist.
Ding Feiyun watched the two's flirtatious actions and directly intervened, "Stop fooling around and dating. Go to your room and don't make a scene here."
Ding Qingyao blushed and pulled Mowen Jie to run away.
The sounds of the four elder figures laughing heartily could be heard behind them.
Zhou Manru, being wise, chose to stay back and not follow them.
Ding Qingyao grabbed Mowen Jie and pulled him back to the bedroom, "You jerk, how can you speak so freely in front of my parents?"
Mowen Jie feigned ignorance, "What did I say?"
Before he could say anything more, Ding Qingyao's soft tongue had already sealed his mouth.
Mowen Jie was caught off guard by Ding Qingyao's sudden move, making him momentarily at a loss for what to do. Mo Da Hun promptly realized what was happening and seized the opportunity. He quickly turned the tables on her and began to respond in kind, his two demonic claws also became active. The passionate kiss left both of them breathless, their hearts racing in sync, as they played the lute together, danced with clouds and rain, and finally settled into a peaceful embrace. After their intimate session, Ding Qingyao lay panting in Mowen Jie's arms.
Ding Qingyao asked, "Wenjie, how long will you stay at Kunlun? Do you have many things to handle in the secular world? If your acquaintances from the secular world are willing to come here, bring them all along. In the future, we can change Zhou's estate into Mo's mansion. I think Manru won't disagree."
Mowen Jie looked at the beauty in his arms and said, "We can talk about this later. In the secular world, I have many things to take care of, and it's not possible to solve them all at once. First, we need to do is after we get married, you will have to come with me to meet my three teachers in the secular world."
Ding Qingyao replied, "That's for sure. It's more important to be nurtured than to be born, and more so since they are your mentors. As your wife, I must go and show my gratitude for their raising and teaching you. I will also bring them here to Kunlun and care for them."
Zhou Manru knocked on the door, "It's time to eat. Remember, people are made of iron, but food is made of steel!"
Mowen Jie and Ding Qingyao came to the restaurant. Kang Yuning looked at her daughter's walking posture and knew in her heart that she was very happy. As her daughter-in-law, she knew that her son was so outstanding that she shouldn't worry about those formalities.
Ding Qingyao said, "I'd like to talk to everyone about something. Wenjie has already reached the peak of the Grotto of the Spiritual Realm, and according to his advancement speed, he will not be far from achieving a breakthrough and ascending to a higher realm. In order to ensure that he can focus on breaking through safely, I propose that we change Zhou's estate into Mo's mansion. Moreover, Wenjie's loved ones and three mentors in the secular world should be brought here to Kunlun. Firstly, having all of you around will provide support for each other. Secondly, as his wife, it is my duty to take care of his mentors."
Zhou Manru said, "I have no objections!"
Ding Guocheng and Kang Yuning also agreed.
Ding Feiyun said, "As guests, my wife and I don't need to be consulted."
Mowen Jie said, "As more and more people come here, when everyone starts practicing, the spiritual energy may run short. So I will set up a spirit-gathering great formation in the estate and absorb spiritual energy from within a hundred miles. After that, practicing in the estate for one day will be equivalent to practicing outside for three days."
Upon hearing his words, everyone looked at Mowen Jie as if he were a monster. Is he still a human? How is it that with him, the incredible becomes ordinary?
The crowd followed Mowen Jie to the estate, watching him set up the spirit-gathering formation.
Ding Feiyun looked at Mowen Jie arranging the formation, and couldn't help but sigh, "My husband! Thankfully, we are close to Brother and Sister-in-law, and have been loving and caring towards Qingyao. That's how we have earned this blessing!"
Zhan Tianshu nodded in agreement. "Actually, Dad and older sister and second brother, they all regret it. They wouldn't have come here if they weren't, but you can't blame others for that. It's only because they were too ruthless in pursuit of their own interests."
Ding Feiyun said, "Yes, they never thought that Mo Wenjie would be so abnormal!"
Mowen Jie, using one hundred and eight spiritual stone slabs, arranged the spirit-gathering formation. He chanted, "Thirty-six Heavenly Stars and Seventy-two Earthly Stars. Bring the spirits into the formation. Endless flow! Formation rising!"
Instantly, the Zhou family estate was enveloped in mist, with blue smoke curling around, giving an ethereal sensation as if one were in a fairyland.
The estate's servants and maidservants shouted, "There's trouble!"
