Overthrow the Cultivation Civilization

Chapter 289 Escorting the 4th-level Alchemy Furnace

Three months passed quietly, like a gentle breeze, silently passing through every corner of the four directions.

"Boom boom boom——"

A crisp knock on the door sounded in the quiet atmosphere, and a handsome young man in brocade clothes stood quietly in front of Yan Mengwan's alchemy room.

He was tall and straight, with an outstanding temperament, like a jade tree in the wind. The handsome young man bowed his head slightly and carefully arranged his clothes. His meticulous appearance showed his elegance and solemnity. Then, his followers knocked respectfully on the closed door.

After a while, the door slowly opened, and a beautiful woman who looked like a lotus emerging from water appeared in front of everyone.

Her skin was white as snow, her eyebrows were as black as distant black, and her eyes were as clear and moving as autumn water. Yan Mengwan had a faint smile on her face, and that smile was just like the warmest sunshine in spring, making people feel extremely comfortable. She nodded slightly to the handsome young man, and her behavior was full of elegance and generosity.

"Your Majesty, I am sorry to trouble you to make this trip." Yan Mengwan's voice was clear and pleasant, like a silver bell.

The handsome young man in brocade clothes looked up and down at the legendary princess, his eyes full of surprise and joy. The little girl in his memory was now so beautiful and charming, as if she was a fairy walking out of a painting.

"My dear sister, there is no need to be polite. We even raced horses together when we were young. I never thought that we would meet again after we separated. My dear sister has become more and more beautiful, and I almost dare not recognize her."

When Yan Mengwan heard this, she also recalled the scenes of their childhood. At that time, they were carefree, galloping freely on the grassland, and their laughter echoed in the wind. Those beautiful memories were like a series of gorgeous paintings, slowly unfolding in her mind.

She couldn't help but smile, and at that moment, it was like a myriad of flowers blooming, making everyone fall in love with it. That brilliant smile made the handsome young man in brocade clothes look at him in a daze, as if time had stopped at this moment.

"My humble abode is simple. My royal brother has condescended to visit us. Please come in and sit for a while." Yan Mengwan said softly.

The handsome young man in brocade clothes then realized his gaffe. His face turned slightly red. After coming to his senses, he nodded and said, "No need to be polite, sister. Just call me brother. In this mountain, we can be more casual and there are not so many rules." His voice was gentle and mellow, like the melodious sound of a piano, which made people intoxicated.

After saying this, the handsome young man in brocade clothes slowly walked in with steady steps. Every step he took was steady and elegant, as if he had an innate nobility.

Yan Mengwan nodded slightly, "Then Senior Brother, just call me Junior Sister."

"Junior Sister Yan." The voice of the handsome young man in brocade clothes was gentle and kind.

"Senior Brother He." Yan Mengwan's response was crisp and moving.

The two smiled at each other, and the originally unfamiliar relationship became closer with this address. Their eyes met, as if there was an invisible bond connecting them, warm and harmonious.

"Oh, I was so busy chatting that I almost missed my business." As he spoke, the handsome young man in brocade clothes took out two large boxes from his storage bag and carefully placed them in the room. His movements were gentle and cautious, as if the boxes contained extremely precious treasures. He pointed and said with a smile, "This is the item your family asked me to bring. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and finally delivered it safely."

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Yan Mengwan said happily, and then she jumped to the two large boxes like a light butterfly. Her eyes were full of anticipation and excitement, and she couldn't wait to open the boxes. In one box, there was a simple fourth-level alchemy furnace quietly placed. The furnace exuded a mysterious atmosphere, as if it contained endless alchemy secrets. In the other box, there were 30 spirit stones, and the dazzling light was dazzling. Seeing this, she couldn't help but be happy, and her eyes were shining with joy.

The handsome young man in brocade clothes understood her feelings and smiled warmly. "Junior sister, don't be too happy yet. The domain master will give you a reward of 5000 per month."

Such generous treatment was enough to demonstrate the generosity and kindness of the Lord of the Four Regions. This was first-class treatment. Now that her fourth-level elixir project had not yet been completed, the Lord of the Region had given her such a reward. It could be said that the Lord of the Region had given her such a reward. This was a great favor and he valued her very much. A warm current surged in Yan Mengwan's heart, and she hurriedly thanked him. "Thank you for the reward, Lord of the Region."

The handsome young man in brocade clothes held out his hand to stop her, "Junior sister, we are now in the mountains, so we should follow the local customs. There is no need for formalities."

"Then I'll do as you say, senior brother." Yan Mengwan responded obediently, her eyes full of gratitude and respect.

"Junior sister is so young, yet she has achieved such accomplishments in alchemy. I really admire her." The handsome young man in brocade clothes sighed, his eyes full of admiration.

He recalled that he had heard that the little princess from Sifang Territory had an extraordinary talent in alchemy, but he did not take it seriously at the time and regarded it as just flattery from everyone.

However, when he passed by her mansion when he was leaving home to visit his family, he accidentally heard the rumor that she was preparing to refine a fourth-level elixir. At that moment, he was really surprised. He had never thought that she had grown to such a level in just over a decade.

The little girl who was once so young in his memory has now become a bright new star in the alchemy path, emitting a dazzling light. He couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart. Time flies, and the years are like a stream, but this junior sister in front of him, relying on her own efforts and talents, bravely moves forward on the road of alchemy, which makes people have to admire her.

"We have only just started, and it is hard to say whether it will be successful."

Yan Mengwan said softly, and then slowly withdrew her gaze from the treasure. There was a hint of caution and humility in her eyes. Although she had some confidence in her alchemy skills, she also knew that refining a fourth-level pill was not an easy task.

The handsome young man in brocade clothes smiled, as warm as a spring breeze. "Junior sister, don't be nervous. If you have any difficulties with spirit stones, just let me know. I have received the order from the domain master. Even if I have to use spirit stones, I will support you to the position of a fourth-level alchemist. By the way, have you found a master to teach fourth-level elixirs? If not, I know a few people who can help." His words were full of concern and support, making people feel his sincere care for Yan Mengwan.

Yan Mengwan bowed first, with a gleam of gratitude in her eyes. "I'm sorry to trouble you, Lord Territory Lord. To be honest, I'm 50% sure that I can refine a fourth-level pill this time." Her voice was firm and confident, showing her full recognition of her own pill-refining ability.

The handsome young man in brocade clothes nodded, with a hint of relief in his eyes. "It's the screening of the fourth-level elixir, right? I've heard about it, but I didn't expect that my junior sister was also there. I'm relieved." He knew about Yan Mengwan's experience and understood the importance of the screening to her.

Yan Mengwan smiled confidently, as beautiful as a blooming flower. "That's why I dare to refine the fourth-level elixir." Her eyes were full of expectations and determination for the future, as if she had already seen the moment when she successfully refined the fourth-level elixir.

"Do you really not need my help to contact the master who teaches the fourth-level elixir? After all, it's just a fourth-level elixir, right?" Young Master Jinyi asked again tentatively. There was a trace of worry in his eyes, as if he was still a little worried about Yan Mengwan refining the fourth-level elixir alone.

Yan Mengwan was confused, and didn't know how to start. She was struggling, not wanting to reject her brother's kindness, but also not wanting to reveal her relationship with Wang Qiye.

"Is it Wang Qiye who is teaching you? I never thought he has grown to this point." The handsome young man in brocade clothes suddenly said with a hint of surprise in his tone.

"Brother, how did you know that?" Yan Mengwan exclaimed, her face full of surprise. She didn't expect that her senior brother actually guessed that it was Wang Qiye who was teaching her.

Hao Jing nodded, thinking secretly in his heart. Wang Mei has lived in the mountains for a long time, and her heart is simple. After a little trick, she told everything. His mind raced, and finally made a certain decision. "I have heard about the matter between Junior Sister and Wang Qiye, but I didn't expect that you guys are progressing so fast." His words showed both surprise and emotion for Yan Mengwan and Wang Qiye.

Yan Mengwan finally reacted and rolled her eyes at him. "So it was you, Senior Brother, who deceived me." There was a hint of anger in her tone, but she was not really angry.

"If I don't trick you, how can I know your true ability?" The handsome young man in brocade clothes grinned, with a hint of cunning in his smile. Then his face changed and became serious, "But I heard that although there is some friendship between you and him, he doesn't seem to take you, his junior sister, to heart." His words were full of worry, as if he was worried about Yan Mengwan's feelings.

Yan Mengwan was full of doubts, wondering if Hao Jing was deceiving her again. However, her sad expression betrayed herself inadvertently. The sadness was like a faint cloud, shrouding her eyes, which made people feel pity.

Hao Jing saw that the time was ripe, so he told everything. "Junior sister, actually I came here this time on the king's order to marry you. I know that you have a deep relationship with Wang Qiye, don't worry, our marriage is just a fake one, I just want your title as a fourth-level alchemist to help me, as for your other matters, I can leave them alone." There was a hint of sincerity in his words, as if he was telling Yan Mengwan his true intentions.

Yan Mengwan nodded slightly, but her mind was full of thoughts. She knew that the Territory Lord would not be so generous, and he had other purposes. "Brother, let me think about it carefully." Her voice was soft and hesitant, as if she was weighing the pros and cons.

"That's fine, then I'll take my leave now, Junior Sister, we'll see you next month." After saying this, Hao Jing bowed slightly and turned to leave. His figure gradually went away, leaving Yan Mengwan standing alone, lost in deep thought.

The two large boxes were quietly placed in the room, as if telling a story full of twists and turns. And Yan Mengwan's future was full of uncertainty, just like the unknown road ahead.
