MEIWITA Chapter 663: Taste Isn’t Bad

When Lou Mu Yan and her group crashed the headquarters of the Wild Lion Mercenary Party, they didn’t hide anything, nor did they cover up the entire battle. A hurricane blew up in the Bei’yuan Kingdom’s imperial capital early the next morning.

“Did you hear? Last night, the rank 8 Wild Lion Mercenary Party was uprooted by the rank 6 Mu Feng Mercenary Party.”

“Obviously I’ve heard, I was even standing in the distance watching the battle.”

“How was it? Was Mu Feng Mercenary Party really that brave?”

“Of course, the battle last night could be considered world-shattering, and legendary, I saw the Mu Feng Mercenary Party…”

The Mu Feng Mercenary Party became popular because of this incident without any need to purposely spread it, and the news even spread rapidly to the Central State1. Many forces now knew about this incident.

The fact that a rank 6 mercenary party crushed a rank 8 mercenary party was practically unprecedented in the Mercenary Union. After all, rank 8 mercenary parties didn’t only have high-level members, but even their numbers weren’t something that a rank 6 mercenary party could compare to.

But what happened in Bei’yuan Imperial Capital was well-known and many people witnessed it personally, so the Elders of the Central Hall of the Mercenary Union paid special attention to it.

Investigating and digging Lou Mu Yan into the Central Hall of the Mercenary Union was moved ahead of schedule, and the three inspectors were quickly given instructions for immediate action.

Lou Mu Yan ignored the rumours about the Mu Feng Mercenary Party outside. She was trying to refine a grade 8 pill wholeheartedly.

After fighting with many Earth Elemental Realm Sword Masters before, she gained a slight enlightenment. After returning to the mansion, she advanced to the peak of Core Elemental Realm as a matter of course.

As all knew, a rank 8 alchemist, or other rank 8 specialisation masters, needed at least the cultivation base of Earth Elemental Realm as a foundation, and ninety-nine percent of rank 8 five specialisation masters were all above Heaven Elemental Realm.

But Lou Mu Yan was a special case, because after several failures, she had successfully refined a grade 8 pill with her cultivation at the peak of Core Elemental Realm.

But this was also due to the power after the advancement of her natal spirit flame, otherwise the limitations of the natural law would still be difficult to break.

In the room enclosed by an array, the pill had not yet flown out of the cauldron, but the flow of a pill fragrance permeated the entire room.

Mo Yan’s dark eyes were even brighter than obsidian. He laid lazily on the bed and watched Lou Mu Yan not far away as he said: “You actually succeeded.”

Although he had not personally experienced how difficult it was to refine grade 8 pills, but he knew that there weren’t many grade 8 alchemists throughout the entire continent, and there wouldn’t be more than thirty grade 9s throughout the entire Guang’ling World.

“Grade 8 pills don’t seem that hard to refine.” Lou Mu Yan tossed the pill from the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron to Mo Yan and said with a smile: “Does it taste good?”

Mo Yan used to be a demon king at Unification Realm so he must’ve taken grade 8 pills, and grade 8 pills were also very helpful to Mo Yan.

Mo Yan’s eyes overflowed with a smile. He opened his mouth slightly and the pill instantly melted in his mouth, the medicinal power spreading all over his dan’tian and meridians.

After a moment, he nodded with a smile and said: “The taste isn’t bad.”

The several spirit pets that were originally watching eagerly rolled their eyes upon hearing Mo Yan’s evaluation. Of course the taste of a grade 8 pill wasn’t bad, was there a need to say that?

If other advanced-level alchemists and high-ranking powerhouses saw and heard it, they’d definitely shout ‘prodigal and ignorant’. How could a precious grade 8 pill be described by taste?

“Female Owner, when can you refine some grade 8 pills for us to taste too, I haven’t had any yet.” Long Yao scooted over to Lou Mu Yan with eager eyes and said flatteringly.

Grade 8 pills were only suitable for powerhouses at Heaven Elemental Realm. Although there weren’t many restrictions on demonic beasts, but it’d be a waste after taking it.

Therefore, he really didn’t have a taste of it when he was at Earth Elemental Realm. Otherwise, with the foundations of the Ming Palace Royal Clan, he could still pinch some off of Ming Xiu.

Of course, from Ming Xiu, he would’ve only been able to pinch some for a taste every now and then, but there was a possibility that he could eat one every day with Lou Mu Yan.

“Owner, the pill smells so good.” Bing Ji glanced at Long Yao. This idiot was completely snatching his position, how shameless.

Lou Mu Yan looked at the eager spirit pets without a good attitude: “Grade 8 pills are fragrant, yes, but they’re not that easy to refine. Wait until I advance to Earth Elemental Realm before you want any.”

The pill rate when refining grade 8 pills was too low right now. It was only one at a time. Although the quality was middle-quality, but it didn’t meet her requirements.

“On the entire Guang’ling World, probably only you can refine grade 8 pills at Core Elemental Realm. Don’t take it for granted.” Mo Yan said with amusement at Lou Mu Yan’s disgusted appearance.

But he also couldn’t help but sigh again that this woman’s talent was truly perversely monstrous.

Lou Mu Yan shrugged: “Let’s just not waste spiritual herbs. Wait until I can refine four or more high-quality grade 8 pills in a batch, then I’ll mass refine.”

The spirit pets were about to kneel now, crying with no tears. Don’t, Owner!

“Mm, it’s difficult to find grade 8 spiritual herbs right now, best to save it.” Mo Yan nodded in agreement.

The other spirit pets looked at Mo Yan aggrievedly. Boss Mo, you’ve been able to eat it, but we haven’t tasted it yet?

Mo Yan glanced at the spirit pets, “Your cultivations are too low, taking grade 8 pills right now is pure waste.”

Although spirit pets didn’t have the restriction of pill levels when eating pills—after all, their body’s strength could completely ignore the excessive medicinal properties of the pill—but if they took too many high-level pills above their level, it wouldn’t help them much at all.

“Alright now, I’ll refine a few batches for you each to have one to taste.” Lou Mu Yan looked at the spirit pets’ pitiful appearances and was completely speechless.

“Owner’s the best, I love Owner the most!”

Lei Huang’s originally gloomy expression also blossomed into a pleasant smile and said with pursed lips: “At least you’re not so biased.”

Mo Yan closed his eyes and started to refine the medicinal effects.

Later, Lou Mu Yan invested her time into refining grade 8 pills. After a few more times, the pill rate also increased to two per batch, and even three per batch, but she still wasn’t very satisfied.

If a grade 8 alchemist knew her thoughts right now, they’d definitely vomit blood from anger. It was already awesome for a grade 8 alchemist to refine three per batch, but she still wasn’t satisfied.

Two days later, Lou Mu Yan heard a knock at the door.

When she withdrew the array and opened the door, she saw the two Mu’rong brothers.

“Mu Yan, don’t you want to go out for a look?” Mu’rong Yu revealed his head from behind Mu’rong Qing.

Lou Mu Yan asked in surprise: “See what?”

“Don’t you know?” Mu’rong Yu continued: “The Alchemy Pagoda’s branch in Bei’yuan Kingdom’s imperial capital is holding an alchemy contest. If you can win the championship, the reward’s pretty amazing.”

“I didn’t know since I’ve been in seclusion lately.” Lou Mu Yan blinked and asked: “What are the rewards for the champion?”

“The champion not only has the reward of three million middle-quality spiritual stones, but could also win the Black Flame Nether Lotus. It’s a Heaven Rank spiritual item, and many alchemists came to Bei’yuan Imperial Capital specifically for it. The competition’s very lively.” Mu’rong Yu replied.

Lou Mu Yan was considering whether to join the fun or not, then a slightly anxious voice sounded in her sea of consciousness, “I need the Black Flame Nether Lotus.”

1zhong’zhou literally means Central State. I only thought of it while translating a few chapters ahead… Anyways.
