Capítulo 29: Chapter 29: Disbelief
"Who's Elder Baru?" Chen Mo asked.
"He's the master alchemist of the Snake-People Tribe," the Moon Slave said proudly.
"Is he in the palace? I'll go find him." Chen Mo needed the Ice Heart Pill to keep his soul in a clear-headed state, increasing his cultivation efficiency when practicing the Supreme Primordial Chaos Technique at night.
"Elder Baru is in the palace's alchemy room. I'll take you there," the Moon Slave said.
"Thank you, Commander Moon Slave." Chen Mo cupped his fists.
Moon Slave didn't answer. After speaking, she led the way.
It was Chen Mo's first time walking freely in the palace. The palace was bigger than he had imagined, but it wasn't luxurious. Instead, it was solemn and dignified. The palace's passageways extended in all directions, and the walls were carved with images of Snake-People. Every passageway was patrolled by a team of snake-people guards, making it impenetrable.
When these snake-people saw Chen Mo, they would mutter a few words.
"He's the slave that Her Majesty caught?"
"Even with a swollen face, he still looks so handsome."
"I heard that Her Majesty would beat him up every day until he fainted and was carried out."
"Awesome, that's how you deal with humans."
The corner of Chen Mo's mouth twitched. He didn't expect himself to be so famous in the palace.
After walking for about ten minutes, Chen Mo finally arrived at the alchemy room. There were snake-men guards standing guard outside the door. Moon Slave informed the snake-men guards and allowed Chen Mo to enter.
As soon as he entered the alchemy room, a scorching heat hit him in the face, a sharp contrast to the cool temperature outside. It felt like he was in two different worlds. The room was spacious, and there was only a medicine cauldron in the middle. A black-robed snake-man elder was sorting out medicinal herbs. When he heard footsteps, he raised his head. Seeing a human, he frowned and was about to yell at the guards outside when a voice rang out from behind him.
"Six Leaf Scarlet Grass, Scarlet Spirit Fruit, Blue Silver Heart Stone…"
Murmurs entered the old snake-man's ears. The Snake-man elder was slightly taken aback. He immediately remembered what the Queen had said to him that night. He straightened his body and said, "You are Her Majesty's personal slave?"
The corners of Chen Mo's mouth twitched, but he didn't explain. He nodded and smiled. "You must be Elder Baru."
Baru replied softly, "Why are you looking for me?"
"I want to refine the Ice Heart Pill, but Commander Moon Slave said that only you have the Ice Heart Grass," Chen Mo said.
"Ice Heart Pill?" Baru confirmed, but seeing how young Chen Mo was, he still didn't believe he was a fourth-grade alchemist. He asked, "This Recovery Pill was refined by you?"
Baru took out a pill from his storage ring and came in front of Chen Mo. Chen Mo looked at it carefully, then nodded.
Baru suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air and asked, "How old are you?"
"19." Chen Mo frowned slightly, not understanding why he asked this.
Baru was even more shocked. He said in horror, "How is that possible? How can there be a 19-year-old Tier 4 alchemist in the world? Even Gu He was only a Tier 2 alchemist at that age."
"Fourth grade?" Chen Mo was stunned, then said in surprise, "I'm not a Tier 4 alchemist; I'm only a Tier 2 alchemist."
"Tier 2, you say?" Baru's face was full of disbelief. A bit of anger appeared on his face. "So you're lying to us? This Recovery Pill wasn't refined by you at all?"
Chen Mo was even more stunned. He said in confusion, "The Recovery Pill is only a first-grade pill, and I'm a second-grade alchemist. Isn't it simple for a second-grade alchemist to refine a first-grade pill? How can you say that I didn't refine it?"
Baru was angry. He said, "This Recovery Pill is almost perfect. At the very least, one needs to be a fourth-grade alchemist to refine it. You're only a second-grade alchemist; how can you do it?"
"Isn't it fine as long as I have hands?" Chen Mo said.
(As semi-philosopher, I agree!)
Baru was completely enraged. He said with a fierce face, "Arrogant! Don't think that I won't dare to touch you just because you're one of Her Majesty's people. Guards!"
The two snake-people guards outside immediately walked in. The Moon Slave heard the commotion and also walked in. She said in confusion, "Elder Baru, what's wrong?"
"Throw this human out," Baru said.
"Yes." The guards walked forward, ready to take action.
"Wait." The Moon Slave hurriedly shouted for them to stop. Her Majesty the Queen had ordered her to look after this human. She then said, "Elder Baru, what happened?"
"Ask him yourself," Elder Baru said.
"I said that the Recovery Pill was refined by me," Chen Mo said.
The Moon Slave didn't understand this, so she asked, "Elder Baru, is there a problem?"
"Of course there's a problem. This Recovery Pill is almost perfect. It doesn't have any impurities. In other words, after swallowing this Recovery Pill, its medicinal power can be completely absorbed." Baru paused for a moment. He took a deep breath and continued, "And only a fourth-grade alchemist can refine a first-grade pill to this degree. Even I can't do it. He said that he's only a second-grade alchemist. Isn't he just playing with me?"
The Moon Slave's eyebrows jumped. She was a little surprised. In her opinion, a second-grade alchemist was already very honorable. So she looked curiously at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo saw that everyone was looking at him, but he was too lazy to explain. He said, "Elder Baru, if I can refine a perfect Recovery Pill on the spot, can you give me the Ice Heart Grass?"
Baru snorted disdainfully. "How could you concoct a perfect Recovery Pill?"
"Let's not talk about perfection. If you can refine a Recovery Pill of the same quality as the one in my hands, not only will I give you the Ice Heart Grass, but if you lack any medicinal ingredients in the future, I will give them all to you."
Chen Mo didn't say anything. Instead, he walked in front of the cauldron and turned to face Baru.
"Can I borrow the cauldron and the medicinal ingredients for the Recovery Pill?"
"Sure." In this aspect, Baru was very generous. With a wave of his hand, the medicinal ingredients for the Recovery Pill floated in front of Chen Mo.
Chen Mo took a deep breath. Under everyone's gazes, he rubbed his fingers together. A tiny wisp of blood-colored flame with lightning arcs rose from his fingertips. Chen Mo flicked his finger and the flame flew into the cauldron.
"Bang!" Following a muffled sound, the surging blood-colored flame suddenly rose from the cauldron.
The quality of Elder Baru's cauldron wasn't bad. No strange sounds came from it. At the same time, Baru, Moon Slave, and the rest were shocked when they saw the blood-colored flame rising from the cauldron. The Moon Slave pointed at the cauldron with a trembling finger. "Blood-colored flame? Heavenly Flame???"
Hearing this, the alchemy room instantly fell silent. Everyone looked at Chen Mo in shock.
"No… it doesn't seem like it. With his strength, it is impossible for him to control such a dense Heavenly Flame so skillfully," Baru said in a deep voice as he stared intently at the blood-colored flame that was continuously rising under the control of Chen Mo's Soul Power.
Indeed, from the information that the Moon Slave had obtained about Chen Mo, his cultivation was only at the level of a four-star Dou Master. It was impossible for him to control a Heavenly Flame.
