Supreme God Emperor Chapter 5: Do not ask the master

Who could that be?

Not a soul in the whole Nanyun Empire knows his name.

Nanyun Academy stands as the supreme institution across the Nanyun Empire, unmatched by any other.

Beiyun College's standing differs vastly from Nanyun Academy's.

Mo Wen serves as the vice-president of Nanyun Academy, a renowned six-star alchemist whose fame echoes throughout the Nanyun Empire; even the imperial family honors him with utmost respect, treating him as a distinguished guest.

Compared to Mo Wen's position as vice-president, Lu Xiaotian, dean of Beiyun College, seems utterly insignificant and incomparable.

Countless legends surround Mo Wen.

In the eleventh year of the Nanyun Empire, turmoil rocked the political landscape as two neighboring empires launched invasions. It was Mo Wen who created the Tiger Cloud Pill, allowing soldiers to heal swiftly, boosting the empire's warriors' battle prowess, and driving back the invaders.

In the 170th year of the Nanyun Empire, a devastating plague swept through, afflicting even warriors and weakening the nation's power immensely. Once again, Mo Wen devised the Qingxin Pill, eradicating the epidemic.

Mo Wen's fame resonates with every person in the Nanyun Empire; folks speak his name with deep reverence.

These days, scarce few in the Nanyun Empire catch Mo Wen's interest.

Yet, Mu Yun's simple words prompted Mo Wen to humble himself and inquire about the young man's name.

Were it not for Dean Lu Xiaotian's deferential demeanor toward the elder, the thirty or forty students might question if this was truly the legendary master.

Lu Xiaotian was aware of Master Mo Wen's low profile; even his visit to inspect Beiyun College was done discreetly, with his name quietly passed to Mu Yun.

Lu Xiaotian eyed Mu Yun with suspicion.

He held no regard for Mu Yun whatsoever, yet the Mu family branch wielded great influence in Beiyun City, and the main Mu family line was firmly entrenched across the Nanyun Empire.

Thus, Mu Yun remained enrolled at Beiyun College.

Still, Mu Yun's track record was dismal—he lacked martial talent, couldn't grasp the textbooks, appeared dim-witted, and had zero companions.

But today's display from this fool diverged sharply from his usual self!

Lu Xiaotian, no alchemist himself, grasped little about this spirit gathering pill.

Mo Wen, however, understood it perfectly.

Mu Yun's proposed method held solid theoretical promise and might well succeed in execution.

Should it work, employing commonplace wind wolf demon pills and purple jade fruits to produce the third-level spirit-gathering pill en masse would become reality.

Imagine: with such minimal costs for the Gathering Pill, mass production could elevate every warrior's power in the Nanyun Empire.

This surge would bolster the empire's overall might, freeing it from the current pressures of covetous neighboring invasions.

Far beyond Lu Xiaotian's imagination!

"The old man has another query to seek your guidance on!" Mo Wen cupped his hands and declared: "The Aperture Refining Pill aids body tempering nine-layer psychic realm martial artists in forming acupoints to advance to the body tempering ten-layer orifice convergence realm. Yet the version refined with white silk grass, the Aperture Transforming Pill, proves somewhat deficient. For warriors entering the Aperture Gathering Realm, pushing further risks hidden injuries..."

"Then incorporate Yang Ganoderma lucidum to counterbalance it! Note, no full blood lucidum needed—just a tiny portion of blood lucidum. One qian suffices!"

"Yang Lingxue Mushroom..."

At Mu Yun's response, Mo Wen experienced a flash of profound insight.

Indeed, Yang Lingxuezhi brimmed with potent yang energy, fortifying the white silk grass's resilience— an ideal match.

Though pricier, Yang Lingxue Mushroom required only one qian per batch of pills!

"Brilliant! Brilliant!"

Mo Wen exclaimed in admiration.

Ignoring the fervent stares from Lu Xiaotian and the class, he unleashed a barrage of his daily quandaries in one go, with Mu Yun providing clear answers.

The pair appeared oblivious to the crowd of students nearby, who strained to follow their arcane exchange amid the confusion.
