Ouyang Jiuding and the Cui Clan arrive at the Mu Clan territory, only to find it has transformed into a prosperous and bustling hub thanks to their Grandmaster Alchemists. Expecting a confrontation at the entrance, they are surprised when the guards, upon hearing the Cui Clan's name, immediately usher them inside with surprising deference.

Bai Zihan had already informed the Mu Clan and other allies about what they should do if some unknown people came to their door.

Just like Qin Lingxiao had instructed the soldiers stationed at the borders of the Desolate Heaven Empire—

Bai Zihan had also given them specific instructions.

If unfamiliar people arrived at their gates—

And the guards couldn't sense their cultivation—

They were to treat them with the utmost respect.

They were absolutely not allowed to offend them.

Furthermore, if such people arrived, they were to immediately inform the Bai Clan.

As for the reason, Bai Zihan didn't explain much and simply asked them to comply.

"Okay, I got it. You did as I said, right?"

The guard immediately replied respectfully.

"Yes, Clan Leader. We haven't offended them. We respectfully brought them to the main hall to wait for you and Young Miss."

"Good!"

At the same time, Mu Qingyuan immediately took out another Transmission Jade.

"Nephew, those special guests of yours have come to our Mu Clan."

***

Back at the Mu Clan's main hall!

The guards respectfully led Cui Yudan and the others inside.

They stopped in front of the main hall.

"Young Master, please wait here. Our Clan Leader and Young Miss will be here in a few minutes."

The guard bowed respectfully and left.

Cui Yudan calmly sat down.

The other members of the Cui Clan also sat down without saying anything.

A moment later, several servants entered the hall.

They respectfully placed cups of spiritual tea in front of each guest.

"Please enjoy the spiritual tea."

The servants bowed before quietly leaving.

Ouyang Jiuding stared at the spiritual tea in front of him.

His expression became somewhat speechless.

Ouyang Jiuding couldn't understand what was happening.

However, he still didn't panic or think that his scheme had failed.

After all, the most important matter had yet to be brought up.

As long as the matter of taking Mu Linyue away was brought up, there would definitely be a conflict.

Not to mention taking Mu Linyue away, the Cui Clan also wanted the Mu Clan to submit to the Cui Clan.

A Clan capable of producing Grandmaster Alchemists and geniuses such as Mu Linyue was obviously a force they were interested in having.

Even if the Mu Clan didn't object, Ouyang Jiuding knew that the Bai Clan wouldn't be agreed.

Losing the Mu Clan to others would incur huge losses for the Bai Clan.

Where else would they get their hands on Grade-7 pills?

There would definitely be a conflict between the Cui Clan and the Bai Clan.

Ouyang Jiuding's eyes flashed with anticipation.

Everything was still proceeding according to his plan.

He simply had to wait.

***

Soon enough, footsteps echoed from outside the hall.

Two figures slowly entered.

The moment they entered, Mu Qingyuan and Mu Linyue respectfully bowed toward Cui Yudan.

After all, one look was enough to tell that Cui Yudan was the one leading the group.

"Young Master Cui, I heard that you wanted to see my daughter."

Mu Qingyuan spoke politely.

Cui Yudan nodded.

"That's right!"

Mu Linyue stepped forward.

"Mu Linyue greets Young Master Cui."

She bowed slightly.

Cui Yudan's eyes widened slightly.

He had seen countless beautiful women before.

As the Young Master of the Cui Clan, there was no shortage of women who wanted to approach him.

Yet even after seeing so many beauties, Mu Linyue's appearance still managed to captivate him.

Her beauty was simply extraordinary.

A thought immediately flashed through Cui Yudan's mind.

(I must make her my concubine!)

If her talent was truly as high as Ouyang Jiuding had described—

Then Cui Yudan wouldn't mind elevating her status even further.

He might even consider making her one of his wives.

After all, a woman with both extraordinary beauty and astonishing alchemy talent was extremely sought after.

Cui Yudan quickly suppressed the thoughts in his mind.

He looked at Mu Linyue with increasing interest.

"I've heard about your talent in alchemy."

His voice carried a hint of curiosity.

"I wanted to see it for myself."

"Oh, I see!"

Mu Linyue nodded.

"Then please follow me to the alchemy room."

A confident smile appeared on her face.

"I shall demonstrate my skills there."

***

Ouyang Jiuding followed behind them.

His expression became increasingly strange.

Everything was happening far too smoothly.

First, the guards had recognized the Cui Clan.

Then, they had respectfully brought them into the Mu Clan's main hall.

And now, Mu Linyue had agreed to demonstrate her alchemy skills without the slightest hesitation.

(How could everything be this easy?)

Ouyang Jiuding couldn't help but wonder if the Mu Clan truly knew the identity of the people standing before them.

Otherwise, why would they be so polite and respectful?

Why would they obey whatever Cui Yudan asked for?

His brows furrowed slightly.

But how?

Ouyang Jiuding couldn't figure it out even after racking his brain.

However, he quickly put the matter aside.

It didn't matter for now.

As long as Cui Yudan became interested in Mu Linyue, his plan could still succeed.

Soon, they arrived at one of the Mu Clan's alchemy rooms.

Mu Linyue walked inside.

She didn't waste any time.

With a wave of her hand—

Whoosh!

A flame immediately appeared in her palm.

The moment the flame appeared, the expressions of several Cui Clan members changed slightly.

Mu Linyue calmly controlled the flame.

Her movements were smooth and precise.

She quickly took out several spiritual herbs and placed them into the alchemy furnace one after another.

Boom!

The flames beneath the furnace suddenly surged.

Mu Linyue's expression remained completely calm.

Her spiritual sense spread into the furnace.

She carefully controlled the temperature of the flames.

Sometimes she increased the intensity.

Sometimes she weakens it.

Every single adjustment was extremely precise.

The Cui Clan members watched attentively.

They were all experienced Alchemists.

Therefore, they could immediately tell how skilled Mu Linyue was.

"Her control over the flame is quite impressive."

One of the Cui Clan members couldn't help but comment.

"Indeed. Her timing is extremely precise."

"She has already completely grasped the medicinal properties of each herb."

Cui Yudan remained silent.

His gaze was fixed on Mu Linyue.

He could naturally see the skill behind her movements.

Even though he didn't know whether she could successfully refine the pill right now—

Just from watching her current performance, he could already tell that Ouyang Jiuding hadn't exaggerated her talent.

She was definitely a Grade-5 Alchemist, and a high-level one at that!
