Chapter 20: Chapter 20 Zhang Hao Becomes an Apprentice
```
"Cheng, how have you been progressing in your cultivation lately? Have you encountered any difficulties?"
At this moment, in a courtyard of the Mo Family, Mo Cheng stood in front of a middle-aged man, his face showing a hint of respect.
This middle-aged man was none other than Mo Cheng's father, Mo Xiaofan, who was also Mo Wangchen's second uncle!
"There's not much of a problem. If everything goes as expected, I should be able to break through to the seventh level of the Vein Condensation Realm by the time the Yun Chu Academy assessment arrives!" Mo Cheng said confidently.
"Oh? The seventh level of the Vein Condensation Realm? If that's the case, your chances of joining Yun Chu Academy will increase!" Mo Xiaofan nodded, "As long as you successfully join Yun Chu Academy, within two years, you will surely become a Spirit Transformation Realm expert. By then, we father and son can jointly dethrone Mo Xiaotian, and the position of Family Head will be within our reach!"
As Mo Xiaofan spoke, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Hearing his father's words, Mo Cheng also nodded. His father and Uncle Mo Xiaotian had always been at odds, which was no secret within the Mo Family and even in Fangtian City.
"By the way, I saw Master Lin Qing come to our Mo Family early this morning. I heard he came once a few days ago as well. I initially thought it was to discuss purchasing pills with Mo Xiaotian, but after two visits, it seemed suspicious, so I had someone investigate. It seems that Master Lin Qing was looking for Mo Wangchen..."
Mo Xiaofan suddenly recalled something and frowned.
"Looking for that brat, Mo Wangchen?" Mo Cheng was taken aback by his father's words and also frowned, "No wonder the last time I saw Mo Wangchen, he seemed like a different person. Could it be that Uncle asked Master Lin Qing to refine some pill for him, allowing Mo Wangchen to restore his veins?"
At this point, Mo Cheng couldn't help but frown even more. No wonder a few days ago, Mo Wangchen not only seemed like a different person but also dared to say words like challenging me...
Could it be that his veins have truly recovered?
"Oh? Seems like a different person?" Mo Xiaofan was puzzled.
Mo Cheng nodded and then briefly recounted what happened when he met Mo Wangchen.
"Hmph!"
After hearing it, Mo Xiaofan let out a cold snort, "It seems this kid is indeed different. With his usual personality, how would he dare to strike someone, let alone in front of you!"
"However, even if he has recovered his veins, so what?" Mo Xiaofan sneered, "Mo Wangchen is now eighteen years old. Even if his veins are restored, it is still too late. His cultivation lags far behind others of the same age!"
"Not long from now is the date for Yun Chu Academy's disciple recruitment. With his age and cultivation, it's impossible for him to be selected. In the end, he remains a waste!"
.....
Meanwhile, in Mo Wangchen's room, he was sitting cross-legged in front of a Pill Furnace, his gaze fixed intently on the situation inside, fully focused!
Not far from him sat Lin Qing, quietly observing, not daring to make any loud sounds even while breathing.
Currently, Mo Wangchen had almost completed refining ten batches of herbs, with each batch successfully turned into pills. Moreover, the techniques he displayed during alchemy, along with his control over the heat, increasingly amazed Lin Qing.
Lin Qing suddenly had an illusion that the quietly sitting Mo Wangchen was no longer a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy but a well-known Alchemy Dao Master!
Buzz!
In the room, the space in front of the Pill Furnace suddenly fluctuated, and in the next moment, a rich pill fragrance filled the air again, making Lin Qing's mind momentarily dazed.
When he looked over, he saw Mo Wangchen extracting another pill from the furnace, and its color and fragrance seemed far superior to any of the previous ones!
"Each time a pill is successfully refined, it seems to be more effective than the previous one. Young Master Mo seems to be continuously improving..."
Bang!
However, just as Lin Qing was amazed, the door to the room was suddenly kicked open.
Mo Wangchen and Lin Qing both directed their gazes towards the door, only to see Zhang Hao, his face covered in sweat yet filled with fervor, rush in front of Mo Wangchen, "Is the Canyang Sword Technique you just gave me a Xuan Rank middle-level martial skill?!"
Zhang Hao's face was flushed due to excitement.
Seeing this, Mo Wangchen was initially stunned, then smiled and nodded.
Hiss!
Seeing this, not only Zhang Hao but also Lin Qing sitting beside him couldn't help but gasp.
Xuan Rank martial skill? Is it real?!
Even the highest level possessed by the Mo Family and the Zhang Family was only a high-level Yellow Rank, wasn't it?
Not to mention Mo Wangchen could produce a Xuan Rank martial skill, but it was even at the middle level?!
This was just too unbelievable...
After looking at Mo Wangchen for a moment, Zhang Hao finally took a deep breath and then unhesitatingly knelt down, "I, Zhang Hao, have been hailed as a genius since birth. At eighteen, I've reached the ninth level of the Vein Condensation Realm, becoming the number one genius of Jianye City. In this life, I've never accepted any peers, but Mo Wangchen, you are the first!"
"Master, please accept a disciple's bow!" Saying this, Zhang Hao solemnly kowtowed.
"Get up." Mo Wangchen said with a faint smile, then continued, "With your talent, you can master the Canyang Sword Technique to great success in a few months. By then, I'll provide you with more volumes, work hard!"
"There's more? Really?" Hearing this, Zhang Hao's face was instantly dumbfounded, admiring Mo Wangchen to the point of utter reverence!
Regarding Mo Wangchen, Zhang Hao had heard quite a bit before. The other party was not only a dandy but also unable to store spiritual power in his veins. Later, he heard about being rejected by Jun Muqing, losing his last bit of dignity.
However, now, if he wasn't dreaming, Mo Wangchen completely overturned Zhang Hao's previous cognition!
Wasn't this the dandy Young Master of the Mo Family? The useless young master who was rejected by Yun Country's top genius Jun Muqing?
Everyone believed it was only natural for him to be rejected, given Jun Muqing's status and position, making any association between them impossible.
Yet now, in Zhang Hao's view, how was Mo Wangchen unworthy of Jun Muqing?
Just a simple alchemy recipe from the other party allowed Master Lin Qing to refine a Spirit Transformation Pill, which was then directly given to him, a Xuan Rank middle-level martial technique that would drive both the Mo Family and the Zhang Family mad. This alone proved Jun Muqing had nothing to be proud of in front of Mo Wangchen!
It was she who was unworthy of Mo Wangchen!
