Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 814

Chapter 814: Chapter 249: The Alchemy Dao of the Alchemy Institute (1st Update)

"...Do you know what I’ve discovered?" Yao Xinghai stared into Mu Qingge’s eyes, as if trying to see into her soul.

Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of caution in the glimmer between her eyelids.

"I have never underestimated myself, but I clearly know where my capabilities lie. When it comes to the role of a commander, overseeing the big picture, strategizing, I’m not as good as you," Yao Xinghai stated bluntly.

His gaze was utterly candid, without a trace of insincerity.

Mu Qingge, however, grew more confused as she listened. There was no joy from the praise in her heart, only questions arising one after another.

"Young Master Yao, why did you bring me here today?"

"You’ve probably already heard about the Divine Tomb," Yao Xinghai finally brought up the main topic.

So it was because of the Divine Tomb!

Mu Qingge suddenly realized.

When Yao Xinghai mentioned the ’Divine Tomb,’ she already guessed why he invited her and said such ambiguous words.

"I know that your relationship with Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze is quite good. You three are likely to set out together on the journey to the Divine Tomb," Yao Xinghai confidently expressed his deduction.

Mu Qingge smiled, neither denying nor confirming it.

Moreover, she did not explain that on the journey to the Divine Tomb, not only would Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze accompany her, but also Xi Qianxue.

Yet, her silence was taken by Yao Xinghai as tacit agreement.

He nodded almost imperceptibly and smiled, "It seems I was right. Today, what I want to ask you is, could your team include me?"

"You?" Mu Qingge curled her lips into a smile.

When Yao Xinghai brought up the Divine Tomb, she had already guessed his intention. So, at this moment when he proposed it, she felt not the slightest surprise.

"Yes, me." Yao Xinghai nodded earnestly.

Mu Qingge’s fingertip lightly tapped the table, playfully, "The reason you gave earlier, is that your reason for wanting to join us?"

Previously, Yao Xinghai had summarized the few top-ranked individuals on the Green Talent List. Initially, his purpose seemed unclear.

But now, it was all clear as day.

Yao Xinghai candidly stated, "The Divine Tomb has not been opened for thousands of years. No one knows what dangers are within. Moreover, it’s likely that not only we, the young generation, but anyone who has a chance will try to enter that continent. This time, who knows how many old monsters will come out of their seclusion to enter. We will face not only our peers but also seniors, once-famous strongmen of the Middle Ages, and possibly anything that the Divine Tomb might present. One more thing, I’ve received news that when the Divine Tomb opens, the Demon Tomb will open as well. Two places, originally unrelated, will overlap partially. This means we might encounter demon cultivators. In conclusion, the journey to the Divine Tomb is undoubtedly fraught with peril and danger. So..."

He suddenly stopped, looking at Mu Qingge.

"So..." Mu Qingge’s smile broadened with amusement, "you need trustworthy and powerful allies to achieve what you desire."

She revealed Yao Xinghai’s ultimate goal with one sentence.

What was it that he wanted?

Naturally, the Divine Status within the Divine Tomb. Not only Yao Xinghai wanted it, Mu Qingge wanted it too, and everyone entering the Divine Tomb desired it.

Yao Xinghai smiled and nodded. He said to Mu Qingge, "My strength is not weak. Bringing me on board will not hold you back, and might even prove beneficial to you."

"However." Yao Xinghai’s eyes flickered, smiling at Mu Qingge, "Even so, I still wish to challenge you at the Alchemy Conference."

"That is only natural," Mu Qingge laughed.

She never feared a challenge. Moreover, it involved her specialty, the Alchemy Dao?

"So, would you be willing to accept me as a companion on the journey to the Divine Tomb?" Yao Xinghai asked.

Yao Xinghai wanting to join was something Mu Qingge did not particularly oppose. As he mentioned, he indeed possessed some strength and wouldn’t be a burden.

However, she still found it curious. She asked, "Why not partner with Wei Molili? Compared to me, the newly crowned top of the Green Talent List, isn’t Wei Molili, who has held the top spot for several terms, more trustworthy?"

Yao Xinghai shook his head with a wry smile, "As I mentioned before, Wei Molili is too old-fashioned and used to going solo. He may not accept me as a partner, and I cannot control him."

Mu Qingge’s suggestion had crossed his mind.

But, he had encountered Wei Molili several times long ago. The impression Wei left him was that of a lone wolf, someone who wouldn’t take orders from anyone, with no sense of teamwork.

If the two were to team up, then the strategist would inevitably be him, not Wei Molili. However, he had no confidence he could make Wei Molili follow his orders, so...

"It seems Young Master Yao has thought it through thoroughly before making the decision," Mu Qingge said.

Yao Xinghai nodded.
