Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 838 - 829: Mei Family Convoy

"The Elder achieved the True Immortal Dao in his early years, but he was afflicted with a heart demon and hasn’t awakened since. We hoped that with this trip, after finding the necessary herbs..."

The old servant sighed, his face filled with regret, "Had Master Lin not insisted on coming along, upon returning to the Mei Family this time, we could have had him help us refine the Immortal Barrier Pill."

This convoy belongs to the Mei Family from Jinxiu City, and their purpose this time was to find herbs for refining the Immortal Barrier Pill. fгeewebnovёl.com

Prior to this, the Mei Family had already invited an Alchemy Dao Master, specifically tasked with refining this pill.

However, on this trip, fearing that the Mei Family might mistake the herbs, the Master decided to accompany them.

But not long ago, when the Mei Family entered a restricted zone to gather herbs, some accident occurred, and most of the clan perished in the zone, and the accompanying Alchemy Dao Master lost his life as well.

Now, although the herbs are in hand, there is no one left to refine the Immortal Barrier Pill.

"Given our Mei Family’s current situation, inviting another Alchemy Dao Master to refine pills is really too difficult. Our Mei Family has little to offer that would appeal to these Masters. The only reason Master Lin came was because of the past friendship with my grandfather."

The young woman sighed, fretting over the matter, "In our Xuanwu Alliance, Alchemy Dao Masters are already scarce. Moreover, given the Mei Family’s status, it’s nearly impossible for us to invite them. When it comes to alchemy, the seven major Martial Alliances, the Smoke Martial Alliance is the most prosperous, but the distance between them and our Xuanwu Alliance is simply too far..."

"Smoke Martial Alliance?"

Upon hearing the woman’s words, Mo Wangchen, hidden in the nearby forest, squinted his eyes slightly.

Earlier, he had heard this name from the Min Huan Practitioners.

The so-called Min Huan Army actually came from a place called the Smoke Martial Alliance in the Daluo Heaven Realm.

The Ji Family must also be among the Smoke Martial Alliance, and with Ziyue captured, Mo Wangchen couldn’t ignore this matter.

"Who’s there?"

Though Mo Wangchen’s voice was low, the woman detected it nonetheless.

She squinted her eyes immediately, gazing toward Mo Wangchen’s hiding spot.

Meanwhile, the Mei Family members, who had just settled down to rest, instantly stood up, their faces showing a vigilant look.

"Who are you, show yourself!"

Beside the woman, the old servant, who appeared like an ordinary old man, squinted his eyes instantly.

He dashed forward, appearing at the forefront of the Mei Family members in an instant.

A formidable aura erupted from the old servant, causing Mo Wangchen to change his expression slightly.

"Peak of Void Immortal Realm!"

Mo Wangchen’s eyes flashed with surprise; he hadn’t sensed earlier that this old servant was actually of Peak Void Immortal Realm cultivation.

While surprised, Mo Wangchen didn’t hesitate and walked out from behind a bush.

"Hmm?"

Upon seeing that the hidden figure was merely a young man, the old servant frowned.

"Who might you be, young friend, and why are you hiding behind our Mei Family’s convoy?" The old man’s words were polite, yet carried an overbearing sense, as he stared at Mo Wangchen.

"Do not be offended, elder; I had no choice after losing my way in the mountains and forests, so I decided to follow you." Mo Wangchen cupped his hands slightly, appearing very courteous.

"Lost your way?"

These words caused not only the old servant but also the rest of the Mei Family to pause and glance at each other.

"Who are you, and do you not carry a Star Guiding Plate with you when you go out?"

From behind the old servant, the woman referred to as the eldest young lady emerged, gazing at Mo Wangchen.

"Star Guiding Plate?"

Mo Wangchen looked puzzled. What is that?

Though confused, he didn’t ask, but instead said, "I left in a hurry and forgot it temporarily..."

"The Star Guiding Plate is an essential item for those of us in the Daluo Heaven Realm. How could one forget it, you must be making excuses!"

A member of the Mei Family didn’t believe him, keeping a wary eye on Mo Wangchen.

"You’ve just come from the Lower Realm to the Daluo Heaven, haven’t you?" Beside the old servant, the woman in the pink dress suddenly spoke.

Mo Wangchen frowned slightly, surprised that she guessed correctly, as he did not want others to know.

After all, just arriving here, Mo Wangchen wasn’t sure if the locals had any prejudice or reluctance towards outsiders.

Seeing that Mo Wangchen didn’t speak, neither admitting nor denying, the woman smiled again, "If you hadn’t just come from the Lower Realm, then could you tell me how many major Martial Alliances there are today?"

"This..."

Faced with her question, Mo Wangchen felt at a loss; she was forcing him to admit he knew nothing about how many major Martial Alliances there were.

"To tell the truth, I indeed just came from the Lower Realm." Helpless, Mo Wangchen finally had to admit.

Given his current cultivation, he should be able to barely contend with a late-stage Void Immortal Realm expert, and among these Mei Family members, the old servant was the strongest, the others posed no threat to him.

Moreover, with Lin’s True Technique, even if he couldn’t win, escaping wouldn’t be an issue, so he wasn’t afraid of them making trouble.

"Since you just came from the Lower Realm and got lost, it’s understandable. If you travel straight in this direction for several days, you’ll reach a populated area. Young friend, you should leave now." The old servant pointed in a direction.

Evidently, he was still skeptical about Mo Wangchen’s identity, but given the Mei Family’s past conduct, they wouldn’t resort to killing indiscriminately.

Simply, he directed Mo Wangchen a path to leave, as having a person of unknown origin around was undesirable.

"From what you said earlier, are we currently in a place called the Xuanwu Alliance, and how far is it to the Smoke Martial Alliance?"

Mo Wangchen did not leave immediately but continued to ask.

"Smoke Martial Alliance?"

The woman and the old servant exchanged glances, both showing confusion in their eyes, "The seven major Martial Alliances divide the land, with the Holy Emperor reigning supreme. There are three Martial Alliances between the Smoke Martial Alliance and our Xuanwu Alliance, and the distance is such that ordinary folks might not cross it in a lifetime."

"Is it that far?"

Mo Wangchen furrowed his brows. Although he had little concept, for a Peak Void Immortal Realm expert to say so, it showed how vast the entire Daluo Heaven Realm was.

It seems that my immediate plan to go to the Smoke Martial Alliance is not feasible.

Having just arrived in the Daluo Heaven Realm, many things were still unclear, and Mo Wangchen knew he needed time to prepare before heading to the Smoke Martial Alliance.

"Did I hear you mention you’re looking for an alchemist?"

As he thought, Mo Wangchen suddenly looked up at the old servant and woman.
