Supreme God Emperor - V1C4
Chapter 4
Master Mo Wen
As soon as he finished speaking, the classroom door swung open, and two figures entered. The first was an elderly man dressed in a gray robe, with gray hair and a beard, who looked to be in his seventies or eighties but was full of vitality. Following him was a middle-aged man who bowed slightly, casting a humble glance at the old man, too cautious to make any noise.
"The Dean!" Mu Yun exclaimed, surprised to see the Dean of Beiyun College inspecting the classroom today. He couldn’t help but wonder about the identity of the old man accompanying him. From what Mu Yun remembered, there was hardly anyone in Beiyun City who could make the Dean act so nervous.
“Oh? Why not?” the gray-robed elder said with interest upon hearing Mu Yun’s firm answer. He smiled and continued, “As you know, the Wind Wolf is only a first-order monster with a low level of power, resulting in an impure demon pill. If used for refining, it contains too many impurities. Moreover, with the Wind Wolf Demon Pill’s level, it seems impossible to neutralize the properties of the three herbs: Baiwei Lingzhi, Iron Coral, and Poorroot Grass!”
“It’s impossible, but if you add some other herbs, you can achieve that!” Mu Yun responded.
“What kind of medicinal materials are you thinking of?” the elder asked.
"Zi Yuguo!"
“Purple jade fruit?”
Upon hearing Mu Yun's answer, the students in the classroom were taken aback. They were shocked not because the purple jade fruit was precious, but rather because it was, on the contrary, too ordinary—almost worthless compared to the demon pill of the wind wolf. Purple jade fruit was so abundant throughout the Nanyun Empire that it was practically everywhere in the mountains.
In fact, one could say that Zi Yuguo was a common item, hardly worth selling in the market. No one cared about something that was so readily available!
"Purple Yuguo..."
As the gray-robed old man processed Mu Yun's words, he frowned and fell silent.
"Although Zi Yuguo lacks inherent spirituality, it has several noteworthy benefits that make it valuable in certain applications. One of its primary advantages is its unique ability to gather and condense energy from its surroundings. This makes it an efficient medium for energy transference in various alchemical processes. The Wind Wolf Demon Pill, which also possesses low spiritual properties, can be further enhanced using Zi Yuguo. This enhancement offers a promising alternative to the broken Wind Green Wolf Demon Pill, providing a viable solution despite its limitations. However, the combination must be approached with caution, as the effectiveness may vary.”
Mu Yun observed the gray-robed old man's contemplative expression and continued with insistence, "But there’s even more to consider!" He highlighted Zi Yuguo fruit's exceptional qualities, especially its remarkable ability to coagulate blood. This process not only stops bleeding effectively but also boosts the medicinal properties of the blood itself, amplifying its efficacy during treatment.
“The most critical aspect of Zi Yuguo was its extraordinary capacity to absorb the spirituality of three different medicinal materials simultaneously, such as Baiwei and Ganoderma lucidum. This absorption allows it to transform these materials, enhancing their properties and ultimately recycling their energy back to enrich the very essences of the original materials, creating a synergistic effect that can yield powerful medicinal compounds."
With each word Mu Yun spoke, the gray-robed old man's eyes gradually lit up.
“That's right! “
Zi Yuguo does have these properties, but no one would have imagined that the demon pill of the Wind Wolf, a low-level spirit beast, could be substituted for the Wind Wolf Green Wolf Demon Pill.
It would never have occurred to anyone that with such a substitution, Zi Yuguo could compensate for the Wind Wolf's lack of spirituality. Given how common the Wind Wolf Demon Pill and Zi Yuguo were, no one dared to use them to refine a third-class pill.
Moreover, Zi Yuguo can serve as a transitional element, connecting the old with the new, which is even more astonishing.
“Brilliant! “
As Mo Wen contemplated Mu Yun’s thought-provoking statements, he couldn’t help but be captivated by the sheer novelty of the ideas presented. The notion seemed bursting with potential for practical application, like a hidden gem waiting to be uncovered. Reflecting on the wisdom of the legendary medicinal sage from decades past, Mo Wen realized that even that esteemed figure would have struggled to envision such an innovative approach. The way Mu Yun articulated his concepts revealed a remarkable depth of thought, showcasing a unique perspective that set him apart from his contemporaries. It was as if this young man had tapped into a wellspring of unconventional wisdom, promising new horizons in the pursuit of medicinal knowledge.
“Excuse me, young man, may I ask for your name?” Mo Wen inquired, straightening his robe with respect.
“Mu Yun,” he replied casually.
However, Mu Yun's simple introduction left a shocking impression on Lu Xiaotian, the dean of Beiyun College, who broke out in a cold sweat.
The thirty or so students in the classroom were even more shocked, rubbing their eyes and stretching their necks as they stared at the old man in front of them.
No one knew his name throughout the entire Nanyun Empire.
Nanyun Academy was considered the most prestigious institution in the Nanyun Empire, standing unmatched in its reputation. In contrast, Beiyun College held a considerably lower status than Nanyun Academy.
Mo Wen, the vice president of Nanyun College and a six-star alchemist, was renowned throughout the Nanyun Empire. Even the imperial family treated him with respect, considering him a guest of honor. In comparison, Lu Xiaotian, the dean of Beiyun College, was a minor figure beside Mo Wen and was not in the same league.
There were numerous legends surrounding Mo Wen. During the eleven years of turmoil in the Southern Cloud Empire, which faced invasions from two neighboring empires, it was Mo Wen who created the Tiger Cloud Pill. This invention allowed soldiers to recover quickly and significantly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the empire's forces, leading to the repulsion of the invading armies.
Furthermore, during the 170 years of the Southern Cloud Empire, a devastating disease struck the land, afflicting even the strongest warriors and severely weakening the nation. Once again, it was Mo Wen who developed the Qingxin Pill, which helped eliminate the plague.
Mo Wen’s reputation was so widespread that everyone in the Nanyun Empire spoke of him with respect. Few individuals were capable of earning Mo Wen's regard. It was unexpected that, due to a few words from Mu Yun, Mo Wen would lower his posture and inquire about Mu Yun’s name.
If it weren’t for Dean Lu Xiaotian's humble demeanor towards the elder, many students might even doubt if this was truly the master. Moreover, Lu Xiaotian understood that Master Mo Wen preferred to remain low-key; even during his inspection visit to Beiyun College, he quietly introduced himself to Mu Yun.
Lu Xiaotian regarded Mu Yun with a look of discontent.
The previous Mu Yun harbored little interest in the world of academia, particularly in his role as a teacher at Beiyun College. However, the Mu family branch enjoyed a prominent reputation in Beiyun City, known for its extensive influence and connections. This legacy compelled Mu Yun to remain, as he felt a deep sense of obligation to uphold the family name and contribute to its standing within the Nanyun Empire.
Unfortunately, Mu Yun's performance as a teacher was far from satisfactory. Struggling to grasp even the foundational concepts of martial arts, he was plagued by self-doubt that hindered his ability to engage with the curriculum. His difficulties extended beyond the physical realm, as he found himself overwhelmed by the dense textbooks that filled the college’s library. Furthermore, his inherent shyness made it excruciatingly daunting for him to address a classroom full of cunning, mischievous students—many of whom seemed eager to exploit his vulnerabilities.
Consequently, he was often viewed as foolish by his peers and students alike, further isolating him in an already lonely environment. This lack of social connection only deepened his despair, leaving him with no friends to confide in or to seek support from during his tumultuous tenure at the college.
However, today this "fool" seemed different from usual. Lu Xiaotian, who was not an alchemist and had little understanding of the Spirit Gathering Pill, listened with curiosity. Mo Wen, on the other hand, had a clear comprehension of the situation. He recognized that the method proposed by Mu Yun was theoretically sound and had a chance of success in practice. If it worked, combining the wind wolf demon pill with the purple jade fruit, two common medicinal materials, could yield a level three spirit-gathering pill that could be produced in large quantities.
The implications were significant; with the low cost of refining Gathering Pills, mass production could substantially enhance the strength of the warriors in the Nanyun Empire. This would ultimately bolster the nation's overall power, allowing it to better withstand the threats posed by surrounding empires.
This was a thought process far beyond what Lu Xiaotian had imagined.
"The Dean!" Mu Yun exclaimed, surprised to see the Dean of Beiyun College inspecting the classroom today. He couldn’t help but wonder about the identity of the old man accompanying him. From what Mu Yun remembered, there was hardly anyone in Beiyun City who could make the Dean act so nervous.
