The vice city lord’s face changed when he heard Meng Lin’s words. He was aware of the strength of a high-tier dynasty, having come from the Meteorite Dynasty, an intermediate-tier dynasty.
If a dynasty would like to become an intermediate-tier dynasty, the emperor needed to be at least among the first to third levels of the spirit monarch realm. Meng Lin, the emperor of the Meteorite Dynasty was a master in the third step spirit monarch realm. His dynasty was the peak of all intermediate-tier dynasties.
Above the intermediate-tier dynasties were the high-tier dynasties. The emperors of the high-tier dynasties were all in the fourth step spirit monarch realm to the sixth step. They were far stronger than the Meteorite Dynasty.
No wonder Wuhen Di was the reason Meng Lin spared Qingfeng Li and the others. Wuhen Di had saved a high-tier dynasty’s emperor and was thus their benefactor. If the emperor knew that Meng Lin had attacked Wuhen Di, he would have to suffer the consequences.
The vice city lord unwillingly said, “Your Highness, are we going to let Qingfeng Li go just like that?”
Meng Lin shook his head and mildly said, “Of course not. It is only because Wuhen Di is here today. We will kill Qingfeng Li and loot his corpse when he parts from Wuhen Di.”
The vice city lord nodded and understood Meng Lin’s plan. He deeply resented Qingfeng Li and wanted to kill him as soon as possible.
Outside the city lord’s residence, Qingfeng Li was conversing with Wuhen Di.
Qingfeng Li smiled and said, “Wuhen Di, how did you know to look for me here?”
Wuhen Di smiled and answered, “After I created the second step monarch level pill, I went to look for you at the restaurant but I couldn’t find you. The manager told me that you killed a hundred thousand demonic beasts and saved Emerald Lake City, and that you were invited to the city lord’s residence by the lord himself. So, I came here directly.”
Qingfeng Li nodded and said, “Wuhen Di, thank you for resolving the situation for me today. However, I really cannot be your teacher. If you want the recipe of the monarch alchemist pill, I can give it to you unconditionally.”
Wuhen Di shook his head and said, “No, my biggest wish was to create a second step monarch pill, or even higher levels. I haven’t had any progress for centuries. Only with your help, was I able to create it. You are my teacher.”
Wuhen Di was stubborn and would do anything to have Qingfeng Li as a teacher. There was nothing Qingfeng Li could do to reject him.
At the end of the day, everything Qingfeng Li tried was futile. He finally said, “Fine, I will have you as a student for now. You can ask me any question you have about creating pills.”
Wuhen Di was extremely pleased and asked a few questions he had encountered during alchemy. Some were about fire, recipes, and even colors of pills.
These questions would be difficult to answer for other alchemists, but it was a simple task for Qingfeng Li. He gave Wuhen Di the answers that he sought instantly.
Wuhen Di had a sudden realization after listening to the answers. He would never have thought of such methods. They were completely different from what he did before. Now, he had an advantage above the other alchemists.
Qingfeng Li and the others returned to the restaurant and he spent the entire night teaching alchemy to Wuhen Di.
Qingfeng Li knew Sacred Level Alchemy Arts, an alchemy art used by immortals in the ancient era. Qingfeng Li was more knowledgeable than Wuhen Di and could point out the mistakes that he made during alchemy. Qingfeng Li was trying to perfect his alchemy arts.
During the whole night, Wuhen Di was on cloud nine. He was extremely excited and thought that asking Qingfeng Li to be his teacher was the right decision.
Wuhen Di had a gut feeling that the knowledge of every alchemist added together could not compare to Qingfeng Li’s.
Wuhen Di had questioned why his teacher had so much knowledge about alchemy arts of the ancient era. Perhaps an ancient monster lived in Qingfeng Li’s head.
Many of the alchemy arts were lost to time, like the combination of ice and fire type spirit medicine. It was a difficult question to answer but was easily solved by Qingfeng Li.
The next morning, the sun rose and spilled warm sunny rays on the ground. The entire restaurant bathed in the sun and warmed the earth.
The restaurant was bustling and noisy, as it was a hub for self cultivators.
Qingfeng Li listened carefully to the conversations around him.
“Did you hear? A spirit vein has appeared three thousand kilometers west of Emerald Lake City.”
“Of course! Apparently, the spirit vein has just been discovered and many people are already going to loot it.”
“The nearby cities as well as our city lord have gone to the spirit vein.”
“If a half step spirit monarch realm obtains it, they can break through. Let’s finish eating quickly and go there. Maybe we will have dumb luck and get some spirit stones.
Everyone on the first floor of the restaurant discussed loudly and did not care about the others.
The appearance of the spirit vein was extremely shocking and disturbed all the cities, dynasties, as well as self-cultivators within ten thousand kilometers of the Sun City.
Qingfeng Li raised his eyebrows as happiness appeared in his eyes.
He was knowledgeable about spirit veins. Within spirit veins were spirit stones, which were higher level than vitality stones. There was spirit energy within the stones.
Qingfeng Li could deeply feel that ever since he broke through to the spirit monarch realm, vital essence in air and stones could not satisfy his practice.
Qingfeng Li understood the Emperor’s Law as well as the Heavenly Dao Seal Scripts of Order, and they required the purest spirit qi. Spirit qi was only usable to self cultivators above the spirit monarch realm.
Even if self cultivators in lower realms absorbed spirit energy, they could not refine it. Spirit energy contained heavenly order seal scripts which made it the purest source of energy between the heavens and the earth. Spirit energy was present when the heaven and the earth was born.
Vital essence had come to be as spirit energy had died out. Now, a spirit vein had appeared in the Sun Mystic Realm. Qingfeng Li’s excitement was evident. He could see how important it must have been to motivate the city lord himself to go loot the vein.
Qingfeng Li said to Wuhen Di, “Let’s go three thousand kilometers west of Emerald Lake City and look for the spirit vein.”
Wuhen Di nodded. As a monarch level alchemist and a first step master in the spirit monarch realm, he knew the importance of the spirit vein.
Once a spirit vein forms, large amounts of spirit stones will appear. They were the most precious materials in the world, containing the Monarch Law and allowing masters in the spirit monarch realm to improve drastically.
