Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 833

Chapter 833: Chapter 268: Secrets of the Heaven-Burning Furnace (Second Update)

The next day, Han Caicai bid farewell and left.

Mu Qingge returned to her space, cleaned up, changed her clothes, and threw the clothes stained with the smell of alcohol into the space. She checked on Si Mo to make sure everything was fine, then left the space and headed to the Inner Courtyard.

The process of meeting with the Dean was surprisingly smooth.

Almost immediately after Mu Qingge stated her purpose, someone escorted her directly to the Dean’s residence.

"You’ve arrived, have a seat." The Dean of the Alchemy Institute sat cross-legged in his place, casually pointed to a nearby spot, and said to Mu Qingge.

In his room, there were no chairs, only squares of cushions laid on the ground for people to sit on.

Mu Qingge walked to the cushion he pointed at, bent her legs, and sat cross-legged as well. Adjusting the neckline of her clothes, she looked at the Dean, seemingly waiting for him to speak.

She had many things to ask but felt this wasn’t the time.

More than her own questions, she wanted to know what the Dean wanted to ask her.

"Earlier than I expected," the Dean said as soon as he began.

Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow, sarcastically thinking to herself: ’Is he complaining about me coming too early?’

"Your talent is astonishing. In just four months, you’ve comprehended twelve forms of the Alchemy Dao." The Dean said slowly, then suddenly stopped and laughed: "To be precise, you comprehended eleven forms in a single day. Such insight is truly unparalleled. Moreover, you comprehended your own path in just a month, and your Alchemy Dao traces back to the source of the Alchemy Dao."

Mu Qingge remained silent, she assumed the Dean would directly discuss the Heaven-Burning Furnace, but unexpectedly, he started with her Alchemy Dao.

The Dean of the Alchemy Institute sighed and remarked, "The Great Dao has many paths, but all ultimately converge. Who knows, within these myriad paths, there are distinctions of difficulty and strength. You have chosen the most challenging, yet the most powerful path!"

His words caused Mu Qingge’s eyes to narrow slightly.

It seemed she sensed the Dean was intentionally, but subtly, revealing something to her.

However, before she could comprehend it, the Dean continued, "From your Alchemy Dao, I can glimpse part of your future path. I must say, you are very courageous. The Reverse Destiny Path is not one that many dare to tread and persist with."

Mu Qingge remained silent.

The Reverse Destiny Path? It wasn’t that she chose this path, but it was the only one visible to her.

Not wanting to fail, she could only move forward against the wind, never stopping.

"Once, there was someone who chose the same challenging path as yours. But unfortunately..." The Dean’s expression suddenly turned melancholy.

"Unfortunately? Unfortunately what?" Mu Qingge narrowed her eyes.

The Reverse Destiny Path has never been one she walked alone. Over time, in the future, others would also choose this path like her. So, hearing the Dean’s words, she was intrigued, eager to learn from the experiences of those who came before.

"Unfortunately..." The Dean slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Unfortunately, he failed."

"Failed?" Mu Qingge felt a sense of disappointment; from the Dean’s tone, she could clearly feel that person was an incredibly powerful figure, admired by the Dean.

Yet, such a remarkable figure in the eyes of the Dean of the Alchemy Institute chose the Reverse Destiny Path and ultimately failed.

"Actually, I don’t know whether he is alive or dead now. But he probably perished, right? Otherwise, why would there be no news or appearances over the years?" The Dean said slowly.

The conversation between him and Mu Qingge felt more like a casual talk between friends, calm and easy.

Mu Qingge pursed her lips, not saying a word.

After a moment, the Dean refocused his gaze on her and said something that stunned her: "Do you know that the Heaven-Burning Furnace originally belonged to him?"

!

Mu Qingge’s eyes widened, looking at the Dean of the Alchemy Institute.

She carefully searched for flaws in his expression but eventually found it unlikely to be a lie.

The former owner of the Heaven-Burning Furnace chose the Reverse Destiny Path and was a formidable figure?

Suppressing her inner shock, she said to the Dean, "If that person is missing, why did his Alchemy Furnace end up outside?"

The story of how the Heaven-Burning Furnace ended up in her possession is quite bizarre.

Originally, the Heaven-Burning Furnace disguised itself and transformed into a shabby-looking alchemy furnace, mingling among the furnaces sent to the Outer Medicine Tower Branch.

Subsequently, she selected the Heaven-Burning Furnace from among many others.

No, it should be said the Heaven-Burning Furnace actively chose her. Since then, she wondered why it favored her. Was it not mere fortune but her path being similar to its former owner?

Later, upon visiting the Medicine Tower Headquarters and meeting Old Baili, she learned about the extraordinary nature of the Heaven-Burning Furnace. However, regarding its extraordinariness, the irresponsible old man left a single remark, advising her to ponder and explore on her own.

Now, the Dean of the Alchemy Institute tells her that the Heaven-Burning Furnace originally belonged to a reverse destiny power-holder!
