Chapter 86: A Sudden Visitor (1/2)

In the hustle and bustle of Phoenix City, an elderly man with a calm bearing stroll through the crowd in the street.

The smell of herb and medicine lingering around his body attracted many reverence gazes from the surrounding cultivator.

Many could guess that he was an alchemist, hence the respect he received.

As he approached the City Lord's Mansion, he could smell a similar fragrant that usually stuck to his body came from the mansion's direction.

'What a strong fragrant of medicine. They must have already invited another alchemist.'

The elderly man chuckled while caressing his long white beard.

'Who is the alchemist? If the alchemist still comes here after looking at the recipe, whoever they are, they certainly wasn't a nobody.'

His curiosity reaching its peak.

He increased his pace and arrived in front of the gate within a short time.

”Halt your step! This is the lord's mansion, state your name and your business!” a young guard stopped the elderly man and started questioning him.

The elderly man didn't seem to be offended by the guards. He still smiling and said, ”I'm Alchemist Chen. I came here to answer Heaven Sword Sect's First Elder, Elder Yang's Invitation.”

The young guard exchanged looks with a middle-aged guard, and then the older guard bowed slightly to the elderly man.

”Please forgive our rudeness. We don't know if it's Lord Grand Alchemist Chen Xi who comes here. Please wait a moment; I'll inform Madam and Elder Yang.”

”It's fine. It's also my fault that I can't come earlier.”

The guards bowed once again and quickly entered the mansion.

Snowy and Feng Xue cooped at the refining room for seven days straight while once or twice a day went out to take a break or chat with Elder Yang and Madam Feng.

They originally wanted to find a certain rabbit—who had a knack to make trouble everywhere she went to—that had been gone as long since the first time they stay in the refining chamber.

They could only hope that Rong Hua could contain her mischief and didn't bring big trouble after returning.

In the past week, Snowy had refined more than twenty Golden Core Congealing Pill sets and some lower Earth-rank pills and upper Profound-rank pills.

Meanwhile, she also practiced refining the antidote for black scorpion poison using the ability of her cauldron, Alchemy Simulation.

It was a great help for her because she could repeatedly experiment with the formula without fearing the loss of ingredients.

Her <Alchemy's Mastery> proficiency had been increasing too after fully comprehending the intermediate section of Compendium of Alchemy Dao.

Her theoretical knowledge and insight, in truth, had already reached Alchemy Saint level.

However, due to her low cultivation, she could only exert her capabilities to the Alchemy Grandmaster and Alchemy King level. Therefore, she could be considered as a pseudo-Alchemy King.

Nevertheless, it was enough to make her the best alchemist in the Eastern Region. At this point, the success of refining the antidote for Black Scorpion's poison is a matter of course.

Due to her incessant training, Snowy had also gained a new skill which is <Fire Mastery>.

With this skill, her control of heat and temperature became more meticulous.

Now, if she wanted to, she could even use Myriad Flame for cooking without turning the food into ashes.

Today, it was finally the day Snowy would refine the medicine.

Feng Xue, Madam Feng, and Elder Yang had already gathered in the refining room.

”Are your preparation done?” asked Elder Yang.
