Chapter 1373: Working Hard Only for His Sake


    Trantor: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire


    Mo Qingcheng frowned when she heard what Ye Rou said. This Ye Rou was getting more and more overbearing. She clearly knew that she didn’t want to be a part of such a conversation yet she still intentionally dragged her in.


    "Yes, junior sister Qingcheng. This time, there are so many major powers that are affiliated with our fellow disciples who came here. Even Ye Rou’s n members are here in support, even her fiance that’s only a step away from immortal king is also here as well. Junior sister Qingcheng is so outstanding, your husband must surely also be a dragon among humans. I wonder what is his current cultivation and which major power did hee from?"


    "Junior sister Qingcheng is someone who didn’t even have senior brother Qiu Mo in her eyes. Her husband is naturally more outstanding. It’s just that the elders of our sect doesn’t know his true identity or they would have already invited him to sit with them." Another person spoke mockingly.


    These people were the usual females who were jealous of Mo Qingcheng. Mo Qingcheng became the number one beauty here the moment she came, and in addition to her talent and her being heavily favored by their master, her presencepletely suppressed that of the other females. It’s naturally tough for her to avoid the jealousy of others.


    "Today is the pill concoction banquet, everything is focused on pill concoction. Why are you all talking about things like backgrounds? If you all are so proud about backgrounds, why do you stille here and join our sect?" A older apprentice sister berated, causing everyone to fall silent, ncing at Mo Qingcheng.


    "Qingcheng, focus on the pill concoction and don’t bother about them. Master has high hopes for you, you have to help our peak fight for glory." That apprentice sister smiled at Mo Qingcheng. She was a leading character of this particr peak, someone at the immortal king realm. She naturally has a very high status and she had always treated her juniors fairly.


    "Mhm, Qingcheng will work hard. Thank you senior sister." Mo Qingcheng smiled and nodded.


    "That’s good." That female nodded back.


    Qin Wentian’s senses was focused on Mo Qingcheng, he naturally could hear what others were talking about her. He could only sigh in his heart, no matter where she went, Qin Wentian knew that the suitors of Mo Qingcheng would be as numerous as the clouds. There would naturally be jealousy and envy within the mix.


    He was also clear that although Qingcheng’s talent couldn’t bepared to those descendants of peak powers, it was still considered extremely outstanding in the perspective of the Unaging Immortal Mountains.


    "I’ve made things tough for you." Qin Wentian mused silently. He came here today just to see Qingcheng. Qing`er had the support of Matriarch Ji and the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, no one would be able to bully her. Other than longing for her, there was no need to worry about her safety. However, Qingcheng was different. Here in the vast immortal realms, he was her only kin. Only he could protect Qingcheng, the woman whom he loved.


    However, right now the situation in the eastern regions was extremely chaotic, with a war erupting between the Thousand Transformations and Eastern Sage Immortal Sects. When he came out, he had to proceed cautiously and he wanted to be more low-profile when he arrived here. He had no wish to reveal his identity in case it was known by the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, and who knows, they might use Qingcheng to deal with him. Although the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect might not be so despicable, he still had to take precautions, considering what happened in the past with Luo Huan and Qin Yao.


    Hence, Qingcheng’s matters could only be solved by herself. This was why Qin Wentian felt that it was he who had made things tough for her.


    More and more experts gathered and finally when all the alchemists of the nine peaks were here, the pill lord of the main peakughed and lifted his cup up, "Today is the date for the once-every-ten-years pill concoction banquet hosted by my sect. We wee all experts to bear witness and hope that our disciples would be able to perform brilliantly. I shall offer a toast to everyone here first."


    Everyone else all lifted their cups in response. After that, the banquet officially started. The Unaging Immortal Mountains were proficient in pill concoction and the dishes and drinks of the banquet were all top-graded. When Qin Wentian ate a piece of meat, he only felt an extremelyfortable feeling circting through him after that. He could only silently nod in admiration, as expected of a emperor-ranked pill-concoction power.


    "The pill banquet shall have the same rules as the past. Immortal-foundation disciples have to concoct a sixth-grade immortal pill before they can be considered to have passed. For immortal-king level disciples, they have to concoct a seventh-grade immortal pill. For the first round, disciples who joined our sect for over ten years, all have to participate. If their pill concoction fails, they would have to work harder then. If they failed consecutively for three banquets, they will be expelled from our Unaging Immortal Mountains." The pill lord spoke.


    "For the first round, a 100 immortal-foundation disciples will be selected, and 30 immortal kings will be selected. Thepetition would be topete in pill concoction speed. We will be the one to select the ingredients and pill concoction methods. The fastest among the participants toplete this will be eligible to go to the next round." The pill lord spoke. Many disciples of the Unaging Immortal Emperor had heavy expressions on their faces. Pill-concoction powers were different from other major powers. If they were able to receive recognition and were heavily nurtured, their benefits would be far greater. They would have ess to more valuable ingredients, more powerful concoction methods, and even recipes for immortal mes and other heaven-defying pills.


    Hence, many disciples heavily regarded this pill concoction banquet. This banquet gathers disciples of the nine peaks and if they were able to stand out here, their future benefits would be inconceivably huge.


    "All disciples take up your positions on the field." The pill lord waved his hands, his movements graceful and majestic. The disciples then all began to move towards the pill concoction field.


    Mo Qingcheng turned back and nced at the direction Qin Wentian was in, only to see Qin Wentian waving to her with an encouraging smile on his face. Mo Qingcheng smiled sweetly and walked towards the pill concoction field. This smile of hers caused countless people to be dazzled by her beauty. They all nced towards Qin Wentian and when they saw how young he was, all of them couldn’t help but to envy the good luck of this fellow.


    "Brother, is that maiden earlier yourpanion?" Someone at the side asked.


    "She is my wife." Qin Wentian calmly replied.


    "Brother your fortune is so good." Some of the crowdughed. "Such a beautiful woman is truly a marvelous treat for our eyes. I wonder where did brother originate from?"


    Someone wanted to probe Qin Wentian’s background. Many people turned their gazes over and Qin Wentian couldn’t help but to frown. These people were truly shameless. A slight cold intent radiated from him but he didn’t speak. After that, the people in the surroundings started, but they soon startedughing coldly.


    "This fellow truly has dogshit luck. Such a beauty, how can he be worthy enough to match her?" Someone silently mused, but didn’t say it out loud.


    "The pill concoction is about to start, that little doll Feng`er will definitely be able to disy her talent." A spectatorughed.


    "Yan`er seems to be very confident in her concocting abilities. I wonder if she will give us a surprise."


    "Little Mo, this time, all our n members are here to support you and watch your performance."


    Many people had looks of anticipation in their eyes as they stared at the juniors of their sects and ns. They all came from so far away and naturally hoped that they would be pleasantly surprised. If a powerful alchemist can be born in their n, that would truly be a matter worth celebrating.


    Hence, everyone was filled with anticipation.


    The elders of the Unaging Immortal Mountains began to distribute the medical ingredients while announcing the pill that the participants had to concoct for the test. For the first round, to ensure fairness, the conditions for everyone were the same. What was tested was the speed one took to concoct the required pill.


    The disciples all took out their furnaces and prepared to start. After that, the pill lord spoke, "Begin."


    In an instant, various astral souls and different-colored mes manifested into being. For alchemists, they had to have fire-attribute energies for sure. Fire-attribute energies had different sources, some were from demonic beasts, some were from astral souls, some were from treasures, some were from holy or sacrednds, born from nature.


    However, in Qin Wentian’s eyes, there was only Qingcheng. A fairy-like shadow appeared behind her. Mo Qingcheng then sat down cross-legged, resembling a celestial maiden from the nine heavens. There was a ball of nine-colored me in her hands, flickers of the me shot out and revolved around her pill concocting furnace while Mo Qingcheng folded hand seals in preparation of concocting the pill.


    Qin Wentian didn’t know alchemy, but he knew how to appreciate the beauty of her motions. Staring at Mo Qingcheng, each of her actions warmed the heart and delighted the eyes. A warm smile appeared on his face. Even without him, Qingcheng would be an extremely perfect female. During these few years, although he did help Qingcheng to upgrade her strength, Qingcheng had never truly enjoyed life at all. She always had him in her heart, and had always been working hard to increase her strength, all for the sake of him.


    Staring at Qingcheng who was in the midst of concocting the pill, he felt extremely warm in his heart.


    "Qingcheng said that if one could get into the top ten, they would be rewarded. I believe that she should have no problems getting that ranking." Qin Wentian mused silently. Although he didn’t care about the reward, but if Qingcheng could acquire it based on her own strength and hard work, the meaning behind the reward would then be extraordinary.


    As time flowed, the fragrance of medical pills slowly permeated the atmosphere. Thunderous sounds constantly sounded out from furnaces, there were some who managed to concoct pills with high efficiency, while some failed.


    "Qingyang’s performance isn’t bad." At this moment, a middle-aged person who sat beside the main peak’s pill lord smiled.


    "Qingyang’s talent is the highest among disciples I’ve seen. He truly lives up to our expectations and is the first toplete the pill." The pill lordughed, givingvish praises generously. This Xue Qingyang was an immortal king that had concocted a seventh-grade medical pill. In addition, his speed was faster than others who concocted either seventh-grade or even the easier sixth-grade pills.


    "Qiu Mo isn’t bad as well." A person of the Qiu n spoke. Qiu Mo was one of the first three among immortal kings to finish concocting his pills.


    "She’s number four." Qin Wentian didn’t bother about the immortal-king level participants. His attention was solely on Mo Qingcheng. In the immortal-foundation realm, Mo Qingcheng was the fourth to finish concocting her pill. After she was done, she turned her head and smiled at Qin Wentian, as though telling him that the efforts and hard work she had put in, were all for the sake of him.


    The first round then concluded. 100 immortal-foundation disciples and 30 immortal kings passed the test. Some were joyful while some were disappointed. It was only normal, and there would always be people eliminated in apetition.


    "Your performance is excellent, there shouldn’t be any problem getting into the top ten." Qin Wentian transmitted his voice to Mo Qingcheng.


    "Next, we have topete in variant-type pills and quality. The test will still be for sixth-graded medicine and it can be further segregated into the bottom, middle, and high tiers. There are many hidden tigers and dragons in the Unaging Immortal Mountains, but I will do my best." Mo Qingcheng transmitted back.


    "Mhm, you can do it for sure. Mainly, you are suffering a disadvantage in terms of cultivation base. But once your cultivation reaches the peak of immortal-foundation, my Qingcheng will naturally be the most outstanding among these people." Qin Wentian spoke encouragingly. Mo Qingcheng gave a sweet smile while feeling currents of warmth in her heart. She was filled with even more anticipation for the next test. She will naturally work hard because the person in the spectator area watching her, was none other than the man she loved.
