Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 24 The Missing Mu Family Ancestor

Mu Can stretched out his hand to push the door of the altar but found that the door, which should have opened with a push, did not budge.

Rubbing his head in puzzlement, he said, "Why can't it be opened? There clearly aren't any mechanisms on this door."

The Mu Family ancestor once told Mu Can, if one day an enemy got close to this altar,

it would mean that the enemy's strength was beyond what the Mu Family could contend with.

Therefore, the altar did not have any security mechanisms—it was just an ordinary door.

"Yes, there are no mechanisms, but the person inside has sealed themselves in meditation, thus locking this door from the inside."

Purple Cloud's voice echoed in Mu Can's mind, indicating that she had been keeping an eye on Mu Can's situation.

"Are you saying that the ancestor has locked the door from the inside?" Mu Can asked, puzzled.

If the ancestor chose to truly seal himself in meditation, then why didn't he close the door on the outside as well?

By sealing the outside door completely, he would ensure that no one could disturb his cultivation.

"Just focus on your cultivation. Once the Reincarnation Pearl has accumulated enough energy, I will be able to come out in the form of a soul body," Purple Cloud said from inside the Reincarnation Pearl.

"Huh? Sister Yun, when can you come out?" Hearing this, Mu Can's spirits lifted.

He really wanted to see Purple Cloud, whose unparalleled beauty held an attraction for Mu Can like a flame to a moth.

"When you reach the Martial King Realm, the Reincarnation Pearl should be able to unlock the Second Level, and by then I should be able to get out," Purple Cloud pondered and replied.

Although she had only woken up three months ago, Purple Cloud had already grown tired of life inside the Reincarnation Pearl.

Even if the environment on the First Level of the Reincarnation Pearl was beautiful, it still felt like a prison to Purple Cloud.

As a Cultivator, the stronger one becomes, the less one can endure restrictions and the more one aspires to be free.

"Sister Yun, how about you borrow my body for a while?" Mu Can had a flash of inspiration.

The scene of Purple Cloud using his body to thrash Mu Zi Li until now still made Mu Can's blood boil.

No sooner had he spoken than he saw Purple Cloud covering her mouth with a somewhat amused look on her face.

"Sister Yun, what's so funny?" Mu Can asked in confusion.

"Little rascal, are you sure you want Sister to borrow your body again?" Purple Cloud uncovered her mouth and asked with a hearty laugh.

Mu Can also felt that something was off and carefully inquired.

"What's wrong, Sister Yun? Are there any side effects?"

Purple Cloud, from within the Reincarnation Pearl, was already laughing uncontrollably, yet she replied,

"The side effects aren't too serious; it's just that my soul might be a bit too powerful for you, and occupying your body for a long time will change your body."

"Change my body? How will it change my body?" Mu Can was even more confused now; although Purple Cloud had mentioned there might be some side effects before, he had not paid much attention.

"It means that if it goes on for too long, you'll start to exhibit some features that a woman should have."

With that said, Purple Cloud laughed unabashedly.

Upon hearing Purple Cloud's words, Mu Can didn't even have a chance to react before he immediately unbuttoned his collar, sneaked his head inside his collar, and not only that, he also reached into his clothes and gave himself a thorough feel.

Mu Can heaved a sigh of relief, having touched nothing.

"From now on, as long as there's no fatal danger, just stay inside the Reincarnation Pearl, Sister Yun."

Mu Can spoke with lingering fear, thankful that the possession had been brief this time. Otherwise, a real change in his body would have left him clueless on how to face his friends.

"Alright, then you better hurry up and cultivate. Once you reach the Martial King Realm, the Reincarnation Pearl will transform. Strive to achieve it within a year," Purple Cloud said earnestly.

"Don't worry, Sister Yun." With his cultivation talent fully returned and Purple Cloud's guidance at his side, Mu Can was brimming with confidence.

"How are we going to get in? Charging in blindly is not the way, and it wouldn't be good to disturb the ancestor's cultivation," said Mu Can seriously.

Now that they were here, he had to confirm the status of the Mu Family's ancestor, no matter what.

"Step back a bit," Purple Cloud said indifferently.

Mu Can obediently stepped back two paces, standing a few meters away from the altar's door, staring at it.

A terrifying Soul Power shot out from the Reincarnation Pearl, passed through Mu Can's Sea of Consciousness, and directly struck the altar's door.

There wasn't the expected loud collision; it was like a single drop of water gently falling on the surface of a lake, creating only a ripple.

The altar wasn't damaged, but with a creak, the door quietly opened.

"Sister Yun, how did you do that?" Mu Can asked in astonishment upon seeing the door open.

"Learn this, you little brat. The most important thing for a Pill Master is Soul Power. The strength of your Soul Power determines how well you can control the Dan Fire. Such a simple prohibition is no challenge to me," Purple Cloud said with her head held high, in a proud manner.

"Pill Master." Mu Can clenched his fists tightly; Purple Cloud's performance had thoroughly ignited his desire for power.

A Pill Master who could concoct supreme elixirs was enough to make the top forces of cultivators want to attract them at any cost.

If Mu Can could become a Pill Master, he would have the leverage to contend with the powers behind Donghuang.

Mu Can only knew that high-level Pill Masters in the Human World had long since disappeared, yet here was Purple Cloud by his side,

who possessed Alchemy Techniques that could drive the entire Heavenly Realm mad.

"Sister Yun, I want to learn the Alchemy Dao," Mu Can said determinedly, swinging his fist.

Becoming a Pill Master had always been Mu Can's dream, but he had been frustrated by the inability to find a mentor to teach him.

"Don't worry, you little brat. Even if it's just to help me rebuild my physical form, I will teach you. But think carefully, the path of the Alchemy Dao is as dangerous as the Cultivator's path of cultivation. Once you decide, I won't allow you any regrets, sister will punish you, you know," Purple Cloud said seriously, but her tone was playful at the end, as if the punishment she spoke of was a fun thing.

"I can do it," Mu Can said firmly, willing to work hard for his goals.

"Alright, once we leave the Mu Family, I'll take you to find the most important thing for a Pill Master, the Dan Fire," Purple Cloud said with a smile, seeing Mu Can's determination.

"Okay, Sister Yun, I'll listen to you," Mu Can trusted Purple Cloud unconditionally.

"Let's go, let's enter first," Purple Cloud urged Mu Can, curious to see what was hidden within the familiar setup that she sensed.

At this thought, even Purple Cloud felt a trace of expectation stirring within her.

Mu Can strode into the altar, but to his surprise, it was empty.

Mu Xuan, the ancestral elder of the Mu Family, was nowhere to be found.
