Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Chapter 509 - 270: Qingxue’s Tenderness, Muyu’s Core Formation

With Mo Qingxue’s strength, looks, and disposition, it was only normal for her to have suitors.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the Mo Family’s main hall.

Just as they entered the hall, Li Chang’an heard a man’s voice.

"Qingxue, I heard you enjoy watching the snow. Why don’t we go to the Northern Domain together? Snow falls there year-round, and the scenery is lovely."

"No, thank you. The war between the Two Domains is pressing. I am in no mood to watch the snow."

Mo Qingxue’s icy voice rang out.

She was seated on the main seat in the hall, her snow-white hair cascading around her and her beautiful face cold, giving off an air that kept everyone at arm’s length.

Not far from her stood a man in red robes.

This was none other than the Fake Pill Cultivator from the Xiao Family.

Xiao Tianbao!

He wore a smile, seemingly oblivious to the rejection in Mo Qingxue’s words.

"Alright then, Qingxue. Once the war between the Two Domains eases up, we can go admire the snow in the Northern Domain together."

With that, he turned and left, paying no mind to Li Chang’an and the others who had just entered the hall.

Li Chang’an stepped forward and cupped his hands in a bow.

"Elder Mo."

"Li Chang’an."

Mo Qingxue looked at him, the expression on her face softening slightly, not as frigid as before.

"What brings you here today? To kill Xiahou Hong?"

"No, I’m here for something else."

"What is it?"

"Elder Mo, Muyu is the descendant of an old friend of mine. She has already cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Peak and is on the verge of Core Formation, but she lacks a suitable Spirit Vein."

Hearing this, Mo Qingxue looked at Jiang Muyu, a trace of surprise appearing in her eyes.

Jiang Muyu’s current foundation was much stronger than her own had been before her Core Formation.

"Impressive. She is indeed ready for Core Formation. You want her to borrow my Mo Family’s Spirit Vein?"

"That is correct. What does Elder Mo think?"

Li Chang’an asked.

Mo Qingxue nodded slightly, agreeing to the matter.

"I can allow it, but..."

Her tone suddenly shifted.

"Li Chang’an, while she undergoes Core Formation for the next few days, the cultivation of every member of my Mo Family will be affected. This is a significant disruption. You’ll have to trade a favor for it."

"Fine. One favor it is."

"No. Three!"

The corners of Mo Qingxue’s lips curled up slightly.

’The matter of Core Formation is a major one. I can use this to get a hold over Li Chang’an and settle the three remaining favors at once.’

Li Chang’an saw right through her.

He sent a sound transmission secretly: "Elder Mo, I can refine Tier Three Middle Grade Elixirs for the Mo Family. How about we trade that for Muyu’s Core Formation?"

"What?"

Mo Qingxue was stunned, a flash of disbelief in her beautiful eyes.

Tier Three Elixirs could almost only be refined by Golden Core Masters.

Only a very small number of geniuses could break this barrier and refine a Tier Three Elixir with a Foundation Establishment cultivation.

The Cyan Cloud Sect once had such a genius, but he died in a joint attack by the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and the Red Flame Sect. He met an untimely end, which was a great shame.

’Could Li Chang’an also be such a genius?’

"Li Chang’an, you’re not lying to me, are you?"

Mo Qingxue immediately stood up, strode over to Li Chang’an, and grabbed his arms, her tone exceptionally grave.

Li Chang’an felt a wave of coldness wash over him.

Along with it came the fresh fragrance of a Snowfield ice lotus.

He said earnestly, "Elder Mo, we’ve known each other for so long. When have I ever lied to you?"

"I feel like you’ve been lying to me this whole time."

"..."

Li Chang’an was speechless.

In the next instant, his vision blurred.

Before he knew it, Mo Qingxue had dragged him into an extremely spacious Alchemy Room.

Mo Qingxue waved her hand, and with a RUMBLE, the great door of the Alchemy Room fell, leaving the two of them alone.

"Li Chang’an, refine a Tier Three Elixir for me. Right now."

She still didn’t believe him and wanted to see it with her own eyes.

Li Chang’an nodded.

"Alright."

He immediately walked to the Pill Furnace and sat down cross-legged.

"Pill Fire, rise!"

With a thought from Li Chang’an, his Wood Element Magical Power transformed into a roaring inferno, instantly engulfing the entire Pill Furnace.

Immediately after, countless motes of Spiritual Light flew out from his Storage Pouch, transforming into various Alchemy Materials.

His expression was calm as he methodically placed each material into the Pill Furnace, refining them into a medicinal liquid.

During this time, Mo Qingxue stood to the side, watching.

An expression of ever-growing disbelief appeared on her snow-white cheeks.

She had seen several of the Xiao Family’s Tier Three Alchemists refine pills before, including that Xiao Tianbao, but none of them seemed to compare to the Li Chang’an before her now.

Before long, the elixir took shape, and a rich Pill Fragrance wafted out from the Pill Furnace.

"Come!"

Li Chang’an beckoned with his hand.

A snow-white elixir flew out from the Pill Furnace and into his hand.

He handed the elixir to Mo Qingxue and said in a low voice, "Elder Mo, the Pill is complete."

Mo Qingxue took the elixir, her heart unable to calm for a long time.

Although she didn’t know the elixir’s specific effects, she could sense its Tier—it was indeed a Tier Three Middle Grade Elixir!

In the current Southern Domain, the status of a Tier Three Middle Grade Alchemist was even higher than that of an ordinary Golden Core Master.

Mo Qingxue had never imagined that Li Chang’an could have come this far.

She stared blankly at the elixir in her hand.

After a good while, she finally managed to compose herself.

"Li Chang’an, it’s said that only true geniuses of the Alchemy Dao can refine a Tier Three Elixir while still at the Foundation Establishment stage. How are you able to do it? Do you have some special method?"

Mo Qingxue looked at Li Chang’an, unable to resist asking.

Li Chang’an smiled faintly. "Elder Mo, is it possible that I’m just that kind of genius?"

"You..."

Mo Qingxue was speechless.

"Who calls themselves a genius?"

"Elder Mo, you were the one who said it first. This junior was merely following your lead."

"Fine, we’ll just say you’re a genius."

Mo Qingxue didn’t dwell on the issue, her gaze returning to the elixir in her hand.

This elixir had certainly eased a great many of her worries.
