Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 628: 642: Discussing a Deal

Capítulo 628: Chapter 642: Discussing a Deal

Watching Terino respectfully following behind him, Mu Can found himself at a loss for words; a being of such strength had been so easily bamboozled into joining the Wangcai Divine Sect by Wang Cai.

With the help of Ye Feng and Da Zhuang, Hu Bing successfully harvested the Nine-colored Fire Lotus.

Gazing at the Nine-colored Fire Lotus, Mu Can felt an unbelievable sensation in his heart. It seemed impossible that they had so effortlessly gotten their hands on it.

The very moment Mu Can obtained the Nine-colored Fire Lotus, the entire Volcano World underwent a drastic transformation. Volcanoes from beneath the earth erupted forth, plunging the world into a sea of volcanic fury. At the core of this volcanic upheaval, a massive surge of power swept across, demonstrating an astonishing force capable of suppressing the entire Volcano World.

Bakar had awakened.

At this moment, regardless of what anyone in the Volcano World had been doing, they ceased their activities and stood staring, transfixed by the direction of the disturbance.

Bakar would normally be in a deep slumber, but his occasional awakenings always caused an earth-shattering stir.

As the ground violently trembled and volcanoes erupted, a surge of spiritual energy burst forth, enhancing the strength of everyone there in that instant.

“Lord Bakar,” muttered Terino distantly, transfixed by the spectacle. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

“Not good, let’s go quickly,” Mu Can felt a chill run through his body, a sinister premonition welled up inside him. He hurriedly urged the others, knowing they had to make their way to their original point of entry to escape this Volcano World.

Hearing Mu Can’s words, the others realized that something was amiss and quickly followed him in the direction they had initially come from.

Unfortunately, before they could leave Terino’s territory, a figure vast as a mountain loomed before them, blocking their path.

“Bakar!” Mu Can felt a cold dread. With their current capabilities, there was only death when facing Bakar—a crushing disparity in strength no amount of scheming could bridge.

“Hmph, the Human Clan truly never ceases its treachery,” commented Bakar, floating in the air, eyeing Mu Can with interest. That humans had managed to infiltrate his Volcano World was a blatant disrespect to him.

“Lord Bakar, may I inquire how you discovered our presence?” Mu Can stepped forward, addressing Bakar calm and resolute, despite the dire circumstances.

“The most precious thing in this Volcano World is the Nine-colored Fire Lotus. Did you really think that Terino could claim it just because he obtained it? It was merely bait. However, I didn’t expect that after so many years, that person would still be alive,” Bakar mused with a hint of wistfulness in his tone.

Bakar recognized the man with the scar, concluding this as the only explanation.

While casually speaking with Bakar, Mu Can’s mind raced for a way out. Yet, against Bakar, all strategies seemed futile. As the foremost under the Angel Envoy, Bakar’s power was an absolute pressure.

Mu Can even doubted if any slight movement on their part would result in them being turned to ash in the blink of an eye by Bakar.

“Take them back, imprison them,” said Bakar with a casual flick of his claw, creating a gust of wind that swept them up and delivered them directly into his massive grasp.

“What do we do?” Ye Feng and Da Zhuang panicked as they watched the ground zip by beneath them, being carried away by Bakar was no laughing matter.

“Play it by ear,” facing such a situation, Mu Can’s face showed resignation. Despite all their planning, they had not anticipated that Bakar had always been on guard against would-be thieves of the Nine-colored Fire Lotus; they had indeed fallen into a justified trap.

After flying back to his palace, Bakar tossed Mu Can and his companions into a cell and then disappeared.

Mu Can secretly passed the Nine-colored Fire Lotus to Ye Feng, along with several Transmission Array Plates from Wang Cai.

Such Array Plates could only be used when there was no interference. However, because of the unreliable preparations provided by Wang Cai earlier, Mu Can had not considered using this Array Plate as his ace. After all, if they were to use it, there’s no telling where they might end up.

Shortly after, a handsome, blond-haired youth entered.

“Congratulations, you’ve become captives of the Demon Clan. If you can prove your worth, perhaps you’ll be allowed to live a little longer,” the blond youth said cheerily, though his words sent a chill down Mu Can’s spine.

“Captives? If you promise me that all of them can stay alive, then I can help you refine elixirs,” Mu Can told the blond-haired youth.

The blond youth’s eyes lit up as if he’d discovered an exceptional treasure, scrutinizing Mu Can earnestly.

“You know how to refine elixirs? Oh, right, otherwise you wouldn’t covet the Nine-colored Fire Lotus. You should know, once harvested, without an Alchemist, it’s impossible to preserve the Fire Lotus.”

“Of course, but you can’t harm my companions,” Mu Can declared coldly, sensing that perhaps this was an opportunity—a chance for his Cultivation to soar.

“As long as you can meet our requirements, releasing these friends of yours isn’t out of the question,” the blond youth replied, considering Mu Can.

An Alchemy Master is the rarest of beings in this world, for only outsiders possess such masters, and the Demon Clan has not a single eminent Alchemy Master.

“Let us discuss,” Mu Can gave Ye Feng and the others a reassuring look before addressing the blond youth.

As the blond youth stepped out, Mu Can had everyone activate their Array Plates. Better to risk it all than stay trapped together.

“Aren’t you coming with us?” Ye Feng asked Mu Can.

“You go, I have matters to attend to here.”

With no time for debate, Ye Feng, along with Da Zhuang and Wang Cai, left the Volcano World.

As soon as the Array Plate was activated and the few vanished from the room, the blond youth appeared in the room instantly.

“You’re seeking death!” The blond youth’s expression turned ashen, staring at Mu Can. If Bakar found out he’d let several people escape, he would be in deep trouble.

“No problem, don’t get agitated. They’re insignificant. Now, let’s talk business. If I refine elixirs for you, what do I get?”

Mu Can spread his hands, looking at the youth suggestively.
