Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 816

Chapter 816: Chapter 251: What a Handsome Gentleman (3rd Update)

The Dao is mysterious, beyond words, conveyed only through the concept of ’enlightenment’.

Mu Qingge stood before the shadow wall, not hurriedly choosing a place to sit down.

"Senior Sister Zhu, how many shadow walls have you comprehended now?" Mu Qingge suddenly asked.

Zhu Ling gave a wry smile, "My talent in Linchuan is considered quite good. But here, it’s merely average. We have been in the Alchemy Institute for three years, spending one year in the Outer Court and two years in the Inner Courtyard. I’ve comprehended two walls, Senior Brother Zhao has comprehended five, and Zisu has comprehended three."

After speaking, she added, "Many people spend their entire lives and still cannot comprehend the mysteries of all twelve shadow walls. This shows how terrifying Yao Xinghai is."

Mu Qingge narrowed her eyes slightly.

Others take years to comprehend one, or they may never comprehend all twelve in their lifetime. Yet Yao Xinghai took only three years to comprehend all twelve shadow walls.

Truly impressive!

"However, I believe Qingge, you are surely more impressive than him." Zhu Ling said with a smile.

Mu Qingge smiled without speaking, realizing there was no sure way to grasp such insights. At that moment, she was only thinking, since she planned to stay at the Alchemy Institute for about half a year, intending to leave after the Alchemy Conference to seek places to enhance her cultivation, she must seize the time to refine herself and improve within the limited time.

So, how could she figure out these twelve shadow walls within half a year?

Steal them?

No!

Doing so would likely cause the Alchemy Institute to issue a manhunt on her.

Engrave them?

She frowned, if these methods were useful, someone else would have tried before her.

Mu Qingge frowned, walking towards the nearest shadow wall. She decided to first personally experience the power of this shadow wall before making a plan.

However, after taking just a few steps, she stopped and turned back to instruct Zhu Ling: "Senior Sister Zhu, I will observe in front of this shadow wall for a while. If you are not leaving, wait here for me. Also, please keep an eye on Senior Brother Mei. He is obsessed with alchemy. I am afraid if he suddenly engages with such a thing, he might get caught up and find it hard to extricate himself."

Zhu Ling nodded seriously and said to Mu Qingge, "You go on ahead, I won’t leave, I’ll wait here for both of you. When the time is right, I’ll wake you up."

"Alright." Mu Qingge gently nodded, then walked to the shadow wall, slightly raised her head, and carefully examined the smooth surface of the wall, her eyes scanning from top to bottom, not missing a detail.

Yet, no matter how closely she looked, she couldn’t discern anything conclusive.

Calming her mind, she lifted her robe and sat cross-legged on a vacant area, facing the shadow wall.

As soon as she sat down, she felt a golden light flash before her eyes, pulling her spiritual sense out and into the shadow wall.

Gradually, in her eyes, the smooth mirror-like, ink-colored shadow wall began to transform.

She seemed to be brought into a space where she saw a person enveloped in golden light, practicing alchemy. It was not just the person; everything she saw emitted a faint golden light, dreamy and ethereal, blurring the line between real and illusion.

The person within the wall appeared oblivious to her gaze, solely focused on practicing alchemy.

Suddenly, Mu Qingge noticed that the person was practicing alchemy barehanded, without a Pill Furnace. Medicines were placed into his palms, and as soon as they entered, they turned into powder, refining the essence.

He was incredibly fast, shaping the medicinal powder by hand, forming Elixirs with visible speed. Moreover, the Elixir’s color was exceedingly beautiful, with exquisite patterns faintly visible on its surface.

Mu Qingge’s eyes widened, the shock in her heart akin to a tidal wave.

She had never known that alchemy could be performed this way!

This alchemy method was something she had neither encountered nor heard of before!

’The Alchemy Institute, worth the journey!’ she marveled inwardly.

In just a moment, an Elixir slowly rose from the person’s hand. This shadow wall resonated like a projection from her past life, where one could see images and hear the sounds of alchemy, yet smell and touch were inaccessible.

Hence, she could not ascertain the level of the Elixir, relying solely on its aura to judge that it was beyond Divine Level, probably Holy Level.

’A Holy Level Elixir!’ Mu Qingge’s pupils contracted as she arrived at this conclusion within her heart.

Could a Holy Level Elixir be crafted so effortlessly?

This almost overturned Mu Qingge’s understanding.

At that moment, the alchemist suddenly clenched his five fingers, crushing the freshly crafted Elixir. The Elixir, like scattered starlight, fell and vanished.

Mu Qingge watched, stunned and bewildered as to what this signified.

"Using the heart as a furnace, one can refine all things; all things have spirits, all are at my disposal; refining with the heart, all the world becomes an Elixir!"

A voice, reminiscent of a bell toll at dawn, echoed abruptly in Mu Qingge’s mind.

It seemed to be the words of the alchemist within the shadow wall. The twenty-six characters reverberated within Mu Qingge, leaving her with a sensation of being profoundly moved.

The words appeared to open a door for her that had never been opened before.

’Using the heart as a furnace, one can refine all things; all things have spirits, all are at my disposal; refining with the heart, all the world becomes an Elixir!’

’Using the heart as a furnace, one can refine all things; all things have spirits, all are at my disposal; refining with the heart, all the world becomes an Elixir!’

’Using the heart as a furnace, one can refine all things; all things have spirits, all are at my disposal; refining with the heart, all the world becomes an Elixir!’

Mu Qingge kept recalling this phrase in her heart. She seemed to capture the essence of the Dao of Alchemy pursued by the person within the shadow wall, yet she still couldn’t comprehend it fully.

That vague impression lingered in her heartache, as though she was merely a thin sheet of paper away from the Dao of Alchemy within the wall.

Yet ironically, this thin sheet of paper was challenging to pierce.

...

In a hidden part of the Inner Courtyard, Shang Zisu was tightly held in Zhao Nanxing’s arms, as though she was a long-lost treasure restored.

Shang Zisu, too, shed her cold demeanor, her cheeks blushing, revealing a shy expression.

"Zisu, from now on, I forbid you from overthinking, nor should you consider yourself inferior. In my heart, you are eternally pure and unsullied, the most beautiful snow lotus in the Yu Country Medicine Tower." Zhao Nanxing’s long-contained emotions were finally released today.

The delay between him and Shang Zisu had been far too long.
