Supreme God Emperor - V1C11
Chapter 11
Ice Phoenix Spirit
With that, Mu Linchen turned to Mu Yun, saying, "Yun Er, come with me. Patriarch Qin is here with Miss Qin, and you’ll meet them with me!"
"Why?"
"Don't ask questions, just come with me!" Mu Linchen shot a glare at Mu Yun, raising his voice.
Once they stepped out of the courtyard, Mu Linchen abruptly stopped, his eyes fixed on Mu Yun. "Your physical strength is at the fourth level, but it's far beyond that! You've been hiding your true capabilities!"
Caught off guard by his foster father's insight, Mu Yun scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"I'm not going to pry into your business, but since you've agreed to the marriage, you need to follow through!"
Without further ado, Mu Linchen continued, "You’ll be marrying into the Qin family. I’m sure you’re aware that Qin Mengyao suffers from a rare illness. Many alchemists believe she won’t live to see her twentieth birthday. Since you know Master Mo, the patriarch of the Qin family, I hope you can ask him to evaluate her condition and see if there’s any hope for her recovery..."
A strange illness? Not living past twenty?
Understanding now why the Qin family needed to arrange the marriage with him, Mu Yun replied, "Foster father, I don’t have a strong relationship with Master Mo, and I find him quite bothersome!"
At Mu Yun's words, Mu Linchen stared at him in disbelief, nearly gasping.
"Bothersome? The entire Nanyun Empire doesn’t have another person who would dare to say that!"
“Patriarch Qin, Dean Lu and Master Mo are here to see you, saying they have some questions for Master Yun!”
Just as they were about to enter the hall, a voice announced the arrival.
"Damn it!" Mu Yun couldn't help but curse, "Foster father, I told you, this old man is really annoying!"
With a glare at Mu Yun, Mu Linchen hurried out to greet the visitors.
When Dean Lu Xiaotian stomped his foot in Beiyun City, everyone trembled. Master Mo commanded such respect throughout the Nanyun Empire that he shocked tens of thousands with his mere presence. Offending either of these two would be unwise.
In the Mu family hall, Patriarch Qin Shiyu and Miss Qin Mengyao also sat on one side. Meanwhile, Mu Yun stood behind Mu Linchen, annoyed, listening to a group of elderly men chatting away.
"Master Mo, here's the situation. My daughter Yao Er has been suffering from a cold since childhood, and every full moon, the cold seems to seep from her body uncontrollably. Numerous alchemists have predicted that she won't survive past twenty, and today, I humbly seek your assistance!"
As the timing felt right, Patriarch Qin Shiyu requested Master Mo’s help. Noticing Master Mo was reluctant, Mu Linchen quickly added, "Miss Qin and Yun Er are about to be engaged, and she is also set to be my future daughter-in-law of the Qin family."
Upon hearing this, Master Mo's attention was instantly piqued.
"Since she is Brother Mu's fiancée, I will certainly do my utmost. Young Lady Qin, allow me to take your pulse!"
Master Mo felt invigorated when he realized he was dealing with Qin Yun's fiancée.
While he could sense Mu Yun’s annoyance, he couldn’t ignore Mu Yun’s impressive grasp of alchemical knowledge. As a six-star alchemist, Master Mo dreamed of being able to refine more advanced potions, which is why he’d eagerly returned.
Once it became clear that Qin Mengyao was Mu Yun's fiancée, Master Mo was more than willing to help.
Stepping forward, Qin Mengyao extended her slender hand. Master Mo placed his fingers on her wrist, flowing his True Essence into delicate strands that wrapped around her arms.
True Essence was produced only by those at the seven-fold condensed essence realm of the physical body. Witnessing Master Mo’s technique, Mu Yun realized that his control over True Essence was so refined, he might have surpassed even the tenth realm of physical mastery!
As the True Essence encircled her, Master Mo began to detect the changes within Qin Mengyao’s body, sometimes shaking his head and at other times frowning. After some time, he retracted his True Essence and fell silent.
"Well? What do you think, Master Mo?" Patriarch Qin asked anxiously, his heart racing.
Having suffered from this debilitating cold since childhood, Qin Mengyao was extraordinarily talented, and her death would mean a significant loss for the Qin family.
"I’m afraid I cannot help!"
After a prolonged pause, Master Mo reluctantly said, "This young girl seems to have a cold energy in her abdomen, fluctuating between swelling and contracting. When I approached it with my True Essence, it froze instantly. Such a peculiar ailment, I have never encountered anything like it!"
Patriarch Qin felt devastated. Hearing Master Mo's words, Patriarch Qin felt as if his heart had plunged into an icy abyss.
Even Master Mo feels helpless, which means there truly isn’t anyone in the entire Nanyun Empire who could help his granddaughter. Was Yao Er fated to live less than twenty years?
"But…" Master Mo suddenly coughed and added, "While I can’t do anything, perhaps Brother Mu Yun has an answer!"
Master Mo's unexpected comment caught everyone's attention.
"Damn it!" Mu Yun cursed inwardly at Master Mo, the old devil, who bothered him daily and now placed this burden on him! Yet, the other onlookers regarded Mu Yun with doubtful expressions. Could he really help?
Master Mo noticed their skepticism and exclaimed, "Brother Mu is a genius in alchemy, one of the most extraordinary talents I've encountered in my long life!"
He continued, his voice steady despite his age, “I’m ninety years old, and it’s obvious that my knowledge pales in comparison to Brother Mu's extensive expertise. Young Miss Qin has been suffering from a peculiar illness that has baffled even the most skilled physicians of the Nanyun Empire, and I find myself at a loss for how to help her. However, I believe that Brother Mu might possess the insight or remedy that could alleviate her condition!”
Despite their initial skepticism, it was widely acknowledged that few could command such profound respect from Master Mo, a figure revered across the empire for his wisdom and experience. His admiration for Brother Mu was not something he expressed lightly, indicating the trust and hope he placed in his capabilities.
“Hmph! Master Mo, while you are the strongest alchemist in the empire, you claim that Mu Yun, a nineteen-year-old, surpasses your knowledge? The useless Mu Yun we all know?” An elder laughed, his tone dripping with sarcasm. Master Mo was renowned as an alchemist, but as he grew older, he seemed to become increasingly confused. If a six-star alchemist couldn't find a remedy for such a bizarre illness, how could Mu Yun possibly be expected to provide a solution? It was beyond the elder’s comprehension!
At that moment, Mu Yun could no longer tolerate the humiliation, but he also didn’t want to carry the burden of the old man's expectations.
“Yun Er, you…”
“Foster father, I do have some methods, but I can’t assure anything will work!”
Hearing Mu Yun's response, Mu Linchen’s expression brightened, and Patriarch Qin looked at him with hopeful eyes.
Just yesterday, he had witnessed Mu Yun’s extraordinary abilities, and today, he was even more hopeful by his words.
“Then, Young Master Mu, please take a look at Mengyao!” said Qin Shiyu with a smile.
At his hopeful smile, Mu Yun felt he could no longer refuse and slowly approached Qin Mengyao anyway.
I have to say that Qin Mengyao is definitely a first-class beauty based on her figure alone. Mu Yun was nineteen in this era, but in his previous life, he was a grown man of several centuries. Thus, he was a healthy young man who was not completely indifferent to a woman with beautiful curves.
Just thinking about such beauty, but destined to live less than twenty years old, Mu Yun felt pity in his heart. Fingers catching Qin Mengyao's pulse, Mu Yun suddenly felt a touch of silky smoothness, and her skin was as delicate as snow.
In the next instant, Mu Yun was hit by a powerful wave of icy breath that coursed through his body. A thought struck him: Ice?! With a mental chime, the Zhu Tiantu within Mu Yun awakened. Suddenly, an icy blue figure manifested in his mind. "Ice Phoenix Spirit!"
Mu Yun stood there, stunned! It all made sense now—Qin Mengyao had been cold to the touch all this time because of the Ice Phoenix spirit. While others may not recognize the Ice Phoenix spirit, Mu Yun understood its significance. Even among the vast multitudes in the Thousand Great Worlds, finding a warrior capable of housing the soul of an Ice Phoenix was exceedingly rare.
The Ice Phoenix was part of an ancient lineage of sacred beasts and phoenixes, wielding tremendous power! The fact that Qin Mengyao had managed to suppress the freezing energy of the Ice Phoenix spirit with her own true essence since her birth was nothing short of miraculous!
"What do you think?" Qin Shiyu asked eagerly, observing the various expressions passing across Mu Yun's face. He remained uncertain about whether Mu Yun would succeed. Without Master Mo's support, he would never have had any faith in Mu Yun!
"It’s impressive, but not unmanageable!" Mu Yun replied after a brief pause. “There is a solution.”
At Mu Yun’s words, Patriarch Mu Linchen smiled in relief, while Master Mo felt a more profound admiration for Mu Yun. From the moment he had met him, he sensed Mu Yun was extraordinary. Although the cold poison afflicting Qin Mengyao was peculiar and troubling, he couldn’t shake the feeling that Mu Yun would find a way.
"Do you truly have a solution?" Patriarch Qin Shiyu was still skeptical, pulling Mu Yun for confirmation.
"Of course! Within a month, I'll cure Miss Qin’s cold poison and restore her to her former genius self!" Mu Yun’s confidence wasn’t unfounded. The Ice Phoenix spirit was a prodigious talent destined to make a name for herself throughout the Heavenly Luck Continent.
"However, I will need some specific medicinal materials!"
"Not a problem!" Before Mu Yun could finish, Patriarch Qin Shiyu responded eagerly, "We can provide whatever materials are needed. My family will do whatever it takes, even if it means going bankrupt!"
"Grandfather..."
"I need jasper jade, green jade grass, liuhuguo root, and blood phallus as my main ingredients. I can find alternatives for any auxiliary materials, but these four are absolutely essential!" Mu Yun elaborated.
Once he finished speaking, an awkward silence fell over the hall as everyone stared at him in disbelief.
"What’s the issue? Can’t you gather these four items? If that’s the case, then…"
"Gather them! Just gather them!"
Patriarch Qin Shiyu regained his composure and quickly replied, "I’ll arrange for these materials to be delivered first thing tomorrow!" Without waiting, he rushed out of the hall, followed by his granddaughter at a much slower pace.
"Is he really in such a rush..." Mu Yun whispered, taken aback.
"Um... Brother Mu..." Master Mo hesitated before speaking up, "Are you certain that these four medicinal materials are crucial to controlling the cold toxin in Qin Mengyao’s body?"
"What’s the matter?"
"Nothing, nothing at all!" Master Mo shook his head.
Master Mo Wen was taken aback, not because the four medicinal ingredients—jasper jade ling fruit, green jade grass, liuhugo root, and blood stalk flower—were overly valuable, but because they were quite common in the Nanyun Empire, only slightly pricier than Ziyuguo. The cold poison plaguing Qin Mengyao was something she couldn’t hope to resolve on her own. However, could Mu Yun really cure her with just these four ingredients? Mo Wen couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling in his heart.
"Why?"
"Don't ask questions, just come with me!" Mu Linchen shot a glare at Mu Yun, raising his voice.
Once they stepped out of the courtyard, Mu Linchen abruptly stopped, his eyes fixed on Mu Yun. "Your physical strength is at the fourth level, but it's far beyond that! You've been hiding your true capabilities!"
