Chapter 320: Going Down the Mountain 6 Months Later
Chapter 320: Going Down the Mountain 6 Months Later
When Wang Qiye went in, Duanmu Lan had already taken out the giant shield and leaned it against the wall next to the welding furnace, observing quietly for a long time.
Her eyes sparkled with excitement and curiosity, as if she had discovered a rare treasure. She nodded happily at Wang Qiye, and her smile was as warm and bright as the spring sunshine.
Despite her affirmative confirmation, Wang Qiye still walked over to confirm it with his own eyes. He stared at the shield and the alchemy furnace, his heart full of anticipation.
By comparison, the patterns are exactly the same. The key point is that the two parts are now probably quite close, and the mysterious connection between them can be easily felt.
"I didn't expect that young man didn't lie." Wang Qiye's expression was hard to recover, and his heart was full of emotion. Various images emerged in his mind, imagining the scene after the alchemy furnace was combined. What kind of shock would that be? His heart was full of expectation and curiosity.
Duanmu Lan also gently stroked the alchemy furnace, his voice trembling. "Since ancient times, human hearts are the most unpredictable. If the young man knew that the alchemy furnace is now complete, even if he is not tempted, can you guarantee that the elders of his family will not be tempted? Maybe this is the bait that their family has been collecting for tens of thousands of years without success."
"According to what you said, in two months, no one will be able to enter this alchemy room except you, me and Chuntao?" Wang Qiye frowned slightly, thinking about how to deal with the situation.
"That depends on whether this furnace is worth it." Duanmu Lan's eyes flashed with hesitation and thinking. She knew that this decision was of great importance and could not be made lightly. They needed to carefully weigh the value of this furnace and the possible risks.
But the two of them already had the answer in their hearts. Wang Qiye had been refining pills for so long, but he had never felt a mysterious feeling from the furnace. That kind of mystery was like a layer of fog, covering his mind and filling him with curiosity and the desire to explore.
He looked at Duanmu Lan and found that her eyes were also burning. Her eyes were full of expectation and desire, as if she saw a treasure waiting for them to dig. If this furnace of fourth-level elixir was not 2 days old in two months, he estimated that this woman would have started to dismantle the furnace long ago.
What a torment!
Wang Qiye's heart was the same as hers at the moment. They were all waiting for that moment to come, their hearts filled with anxiety and uneasiness. They didn't know what kind of surprises this furnace would bring them, nor what kind of challenges they would face. But they knew that they had to wait patiently.
"Fortunately, you bought it at that time, otherwise you might have missed it for the rest of your life." Duanmu Lan was somewhat relieved, with a hint of emotion in his eyes. Recalling the situation at that time, he almost stopped Wang Qiye. If that were the case, they might be in endless regret at this moment.
"Yeah." Wang Qiye also sighed, his heart also filled with emotion. If he went to the black market now, Wang Qiye would never buy this furnace.
After going through so many things, his heart has been tempered into steel, and he will no longer feel sympathy for the young man who begged for mercy.
The waiting time was so long. Every minute and every second was like a torture, filling their hearts with pain. Time seemed to be frozen, passing slowly. They spent day after day in agony, but the expectation in their hearts never diminished.
……
Yan Mengwan's alchemy room.
In a quiet room, sunlight shines through the carved windows onto the quaint tea table, creating a soft halo.
Yan Mengwan was wearing an elegant long dress and sitting there quietly. There was a hint of hesitation in her eyes, yet a touch of determination.
On the opposite side, the handsome and elegant Hao Jing was expectant yet nervous.
Yan Mengwan opened her red lips and said in a soft but clear voice: "Okay, I will go down the mountain and marry you in six months." Her words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in Hao Jing's heart.
Hao Jing stood up excitedly, his hands trembling slightly. He looked at Yan Mengwan, as if he saw his future happiness. His heart was filled with joy and emotion, and he wanted to tell the world the good news immediately.
There was a subtle atmosphere in the room, filled with anticipation, tension, and longing for the future.
Yan Mengwan looked at Hao Jing's reaction and felt a complicated emotion in her heart.
She knew what her decision meant. She was about to leave her familiar life and move towards a brand new future.
The sun was still warm, but the atmosphere at the tea table became particularly solemn.
"Then I'll go get the fourth-level elixir now." Hao Jing clenched his fists excitedly, his eyes flashing with excitement. However, he soon noticed that he had lost his composure again, so he quickly adjusted himself and smiled apologetically at the woman opposite.
He was secretly annoyed in his heart. How many times had he lost his composure in front of her? He smiled self-deprecatingly and tried to keep himself calm.
During this year, the other princes were constantly making moves, and they certainly would not sit still and wait for death. According to the information he had, the third prince and the sixth princess were also said to be bringing back a fourth-level alchemist to marry. In this power struggle, he knew that he could not relax at all and had to go all out.
So he can only succeed, not fail.
"No need for that. My eight furnaces of fourth-grade pills haven't exploded in a year. Six months later, when the five furnaces are ready, we'll go down the mountain." Yan Mengwan said calmly. Her voice was like a mountain spring, clear and firm.
Hao Jing opened his mouth wide, his face full of shock. "No, sister, we don't have to pretend like this, you're not going to do this for real, are you?" There was a hint of disbelief in his voice.
In the secular world, fourth-level alchemists are no longer ordinary people. Their status is high, basically equal to that of some provincial governors. Even those provincial governors would ask these alchemists for elixirs. They are like bright stars, emitting dazzling light in the secular sky.
At this moment, Hao Jing hoped that Yan Mengwan could stay on the mountain. In his opinion, Yan Mengwan was too young, but had such an amazing talent for alchemy.
Such a bright pearl would be dazzling even on the mountain. How could he be so worthy to have such a talented person as his companion? His heart was filled with anxiety and worry, as if he was holding a precious treasure and was afraid that he would lose it if he was not careful.
"I just want to tell you that I, Yan Mengwan, will follow my husband wherever he goes. I will never cheat on you." Yan Mengwan's words revealed a sense of determination. Her eyes were firm, as if she was swearing her loyalty to Hao Jing.
Hao Jing wanted to comfort her at this moment, "We should also be careful about who we steal men from." But when the words came to his lips, he took them back. He knew that at this time, any inappropriate words might hurt Yan Mengwan.
"Then I will go and write back to my father and prepare for the wedding." Hao Jing's voice was filled with joy and anticipation. He couldn't wait to tell his father the good news and start preparing for this grand wedding.
Yan Mengwan nodded slightly. She knew that her decision would change her life, but she did not regret it.
However, the saddest person was Ye Lingxi. They were good friends, not master and servant. So, she could only offer her blessing, but could not follow Yan Mengwan down the mountain.
Her heart was filled with reluctance and sadness, as if she had lost the most important part of her life. She looked at Yan Mengwan, tears flashing in her eyes, and silently blessed her.
After Yan Mengwan made the decision, she felt as if a huge rock had fallen from her heart, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Her eyes were fixed on the distance, but her thoughts drifted back to the past.
Seeing the man she loved talking and laughing with other women every day, she felt as if her heart was being gnawing at by millions of ants, and she just couldn't be happy.
At the beginning, he was just after his identity as a second-generation Nascent Soul, thinking that perhaps he could use this identity to add some help to his path of cultivation.
However, before she knew it, she was attracted by his talent. He was such an ordinary person, without outstanding looks or amazing talents, but after getting along with him, she found that a person's appearance is not important.
What people can really remember is his soul. His kindness, his bravery, and his persistence are like bright stars, lighting up her world.
Finally, these days of suffering are coming to an end. Although this mountain is beautiful, picturesque, and full of spiritual energy, it is an excellent place for spiritual practice. But the person I love loves someone else, and this place has become a fairyland purgatory. This kind of pain, this kind of torture, can only be understood by those who have experienced it.
She had cried alone in the middle of the night countless times and wanted to give up countless times, but she persisted countless times because of the love in her heart.
Now, she has finally made the decision to leave this place full of painful memories and find her own happiness.
Yan Mengwan gently closed her eyes, feeling the gentle breeze brushing across her cheeks. She knew that the road ahead was still long, full of unknowns and challenges.
Hao Jing is her final destination.
At least, this man is willing to give all his love to herself.
Since I can't find someone I love, then finding someone who loves me may be the best outcome.
