The Ancient God Clan

Inside the stone tower, Mo Yang flipped through the Divine Pill Manual and finally selected a pill called Youthful Beauty Pill.

Fortunately, he had all the ingredients required to make the Youthful Beauty Pill, and it was also one of the easier pills to concoct. Its effects were extremely appealing to women, and Su Fei'er would definitely not be able to resist it.

Having gained experience from making the Bone Cleansing Pill earlier, crafting the Youthful Beauty Pill had become much easier this time. Although he had failed several times, on his fourth attempt, he succeeded. The pill that resulted was not only well-formed but also had a pleasing color.

"Experience truly matters in everything. After so many failures before, now things are getting smoother!" Mo Yang sighed, then left the stone tower with the pill in hand.

Since Su Fei'er didn't come, Mo Yang decided to find her himself. He left the wooden peak and headed directly toward the main peak.

Along the way, he encountered many sect disciples. Most of them kept their distance from him, retreating as soon as they saw him. No one dared to mock him anymore.

There were also some disciples who had never mocked him before but now, with a bit of courage, greeted him. Mo Yang responded with a smile to each one.

As Mo Yang walked in the direction of the main peak, many people couldn't help but whisper.

"Looks like he's heading to the main peak. Could he be looking for trouble with Senior Brother Qi?"

"I think he's going to find Senior Sister Su. This guy has some guts. Is he not satisfied with the secretive approach and now wants to make a bold move?"

"Tsk, if he really is going to find Senior Sister Su, there might be a good show to watch... To dare to go directly to the main peak to chase after a girl, impressive, truly a role model for us all..."

...

Hearing the whispers behind him, Mo Yang felt somewhat speechless but pretended not to hear as he continued walking toward the main peak.

"Mo Yang, what are you doing on the main peak?"

Just then, he ran into the Second Elder, who immediately frowned upon seeing him. He had never had a good impression of Mo Yang.

"Can't I come to the main peak?" Mo Yang calmly replied.

The Second Elder's expression soured. Hearing Mo Yang's question, he was momentarily stunned. He wanted to scold him, but thinking of the Elder's instructions not to make things difficult for Mo Yang, he could only snort coldly and turn away without saying more.

However, the news quickly spread among the disciples, with some reporting that Mo Yang had arrived at the main peak and no one knew what he intended to do.

By the time Mo Yang stepped onto the main peak, many disciples were already waiting. Qi Heng, hearing the news, also arrived. He stared at Mo Yang coldly and asked in a cold voice, "I don't know what Junior Brother Mo is here for?"

Looking at Qi Heng's gloomy face, Mo Yang almost laughed but held it back. He replied calmly, "I'm here to find Su Fei'er!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Heng's face darkened even more, his voice dripping with coldness, "You really have a lot of guts. What do you want to do?"

Mo Yang felt speechless and frowned. "Since when do you have the right to control what I do, Senior Brother Qi? Should I get your permission?"

"You..."

Qi Heng's expression became even colder. Mo Yang's words left him speechless, not knowing how to respond.

Mo Yang waved his hand impatiently and said, "What are you staring at? Go away, don't waste my time!"

Qi Heng was furious, his face changing color between green and white. But he didn't want to fight Mo Yang; his previous injuries hadn't fully healed. If he fought now, he'd likely suffer greatly. Not only would it be a loss, but it would also be embarrassing.

The surrounding disciples didn't dare to speak. If Mo Yang could act this way even in front of Qi Heng, they certainly didn't dare to speak up, fearing they'd get beaten up.

"Who dares to cause trouble on the main peak? Do you think I'm invisible?" Before Mo Yang could say anything further, Su Fei'er's voice rang out.

As soon as the disciples heard Su Fei'er's voice, they quickly stepped back.

Su Fei'er strode forward, hands on her hips. But when she saw Mo Yang, her brow furrowed immediately.

"Haha, Fei'er, it's been a while. I was just about to find you, and here you are. We really are in sync!" Mo Yang smiled brightly, speaking smoothly.

Especially the words "Fei'er, my dear" rolled off his tongue with ease, without any awkwardness.

Qi Heng's face was filled with fury, glaring at Mo Yang as though he wished he could slap him.

Several of Su Fei'er's admirers, hearing Mo Yang's words, also gritted their teeth in anger. But they had no choice but to hold back, not daring to speak.

Su Fei'er's expression immediately turned cold, and she spoke icily, "Do you think your words mean anything?"

Mo Yang, with a serious expression, replied, "What do you mean? I came to see you because I have something else to discuss. Shall we find somewhere else to talk privately?"

Mo Yang glanced around at the disciples.

"Hmph, whatever, say it here!" Su Fei'er didn't want to deal with Mo Yang anymore. She couldn't fight him, and moreover, the Elder and her father were both protecting him.

"Uh... okay!" Mo Yang was momentarily taken aback, then glanced at the surrounding disciples and frowned. "What are you looking at? Don't you have any cultivation to do?"

The disciples were stunned, feeling quite speechless. In the past, if Mo Yang had dared to say such a thing, he would've faced endless mockery. But things were different now.

The disciples turned and left without saying another word. Qi Heng snorted heavily, shot Mo Yang a glare, and turned to leave.

Mo Yang took a few steps closer to Su Fei'er and lowered his voice, saying, "Fei'er, could you help me gather some more medicinal ingredients?"

"Why do you need so many ingredients?" Su Fei'er took a cautious step back, her brow furrowed as she eyed Mo Yang.

Last time, she had planned to ask him about it, but now, only a few days later, Mo Yang was coming to ask her again for more ingredients.

"This is the Youthful Beauty Pill. It has great effects for beauty and health. Women who take it will essentially undergo a transformation. It not only preserves youthful beauty but has other marvelous effects as well!" Mo Yang nonchalantly took out the Youthful Beauty Pill he had prepared earlier and spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, Su Fei'er's expression immediately changed. She stared at the pill in his hand and then turned her gaze back to Mo Yang, her eyes filled with doubt. "You can refine pills?"

She almost couldn't believe it. As a cultivator, she had naturally heard of pills, but pill refinement was a special skill. No one in the entire Ling Xu Sect could refine pills. The only option was to buy them at a great cost.

At this moment, she didn't doubt Mo Yang, because his sudden breakthrough in cultivation couldn't be explained, and this pill was the only reasonable explanation. Plus, the origins of the ingredients were now understandable.

"Ahem, by chance, I learned a little. If you're willing to cooperate, we must keep this a secret!"

Su Fei'er gave him a suspicious look, then reached out to take the pill. But Mo Yang, quick as a flash, pulled his hand back.

"Mo Yang, you..."

Mo Yang smiled brightly and said, "If it works out, we can cooperate long-term. You provide the ingredients, and when I make the pills, I can share some with you. But this is our little secret, no third party can know!"

Su Fei'er looked at Mo Yang for a moment, her eyes still filled with suspicion, but she didn't press the issue. Instead, she nodded slowly, "I understand. But remember, if this gets out, I won't be able to help you."

Mo Yang smiled, "Of course, you don't have to worry. We're partners in this, and I'll make sure it stays between us."

Su Fei'er hesitated for a moment but then nodded again. She didn't seem completely convinced, but she was intrigued by the idea of the Youthful Beauty Pill and its potential benefits.

"Alright, I'll help you this time," she said, her voice softer now.

"Thank you, Fei'er!" Mo Yang said with a bright smile. "I knew I could count on you."

Su Fei'er's lips twitched as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself. She shot Mo Yang a sideways glance before turning and walking away.

Mo Yang watched her leave, feeling a sense of satisfaction. The plan was going well, and now, with her help, he would be able to gather more ingredients for his pill-making. As long as he kept this secret between them, everything should go smoothly.

After a moment, Mo Yang turned back and began walking down the main peak toward the sect's alchemy hall. He was already planning the next steps in his mind, but something told him that things were about to get even more complicated.

As he walked, he couldn't help but think about the growing tension between him and Qi Heng. The more he thought about it, the more certain he became that the conflict with Qi Heng was inevitable. But for now, he would focus on his current objectives. There was no need to rush into confrontation—patience would be key.
