Martial Master

He Dan Tong had always been busy managing the alchemy affairs in Qing Hong Dan Shi's pharmacy, rarely having the chance to come out. It had already been many days since he last walked through the Alchemy Pavilion. Therefore, he was unaware of the recent events that took place in the Alchemy Pavilion, including the conflict between Qin Chen and Jin Zhou Holy Son, and he did not know that Qin Chen had passed the Medicine King assessment and was recognized as a young alchemy genius.

He had suddenly received an order from Qing Hong Dan Shi to find a pharmacist named Qin Chen and bring him over. So, he inquired all the way and arrived in Dan City. As for Qin Chen, all he knew was that the latter was a talented pharmacist. Whenever any pharmacist in the Alchemy Pavilion mentioned him, they would have a look of deep concern. He wasn't very clear about just how impressive Qin Chen truly was. If he had known that Qin Chen was only a few years older than him, already a seventh-grade Medicine King, and had been directly certified by Elder Huang Fu Nan to be appointed as an internal affairs elder, he would never have dared to be so arrogant.

Therefore, he proudly said, "Zhang Da, listen carefully, my master is the Qing Hong Dan Shi of the Alchemy Pavilion. I heard you have some talent, and he wishes to guide you for a better future. If you know what's good for you, hurry up and kneel to express your thanks, and come with me." In his imagination, Qing Hong Dan Shi wanted to find Qin Chen because he had heard about his talent and wanted to take him under his wing. He had handled such matters several times before, so it was not unfamiliar to him. After saying this, he immediately looked down his nose, waiting for Qin Chen to be shocked and kneel in apology.

However, he waited for a long time with no response. When he looked down, he realized Qin Chen was staring at him with a look of disbelief.

"You still won't kneel to express your thanks?" He Dan Tong said sharply, his face full of disbelief. Typically, when any pharmacist heard it was an invitation from Qing Hong Dan Shi, they would be so excited they would kneel down in gratitude, yet this guy stood there motionless. This... could it be that he was so excited he became stupid?

Thinking of this, it was understandable. A young pharmacist could actually be summoned by the deputy master of the Alchemy Pavilion, and being shocked into silence was not hard to understand. So he still maintained his arrogant demeanor, just waiting for Qin Chen to react. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, he saw Qin Chen frowning, looking confused, and asking, "Who is Qing Hong Dan Shi? I haven't heard of him!"

Pfft!

He Dan Tong immediately spat out a mouthful of old blood.

As a pharmacist in the Alchemy Pavilion, how could he have never heard of Qing Hong Dan Shi? It was impossible!

"You... you dare!" He immediately became furious. In his view, how could Qin Chen not have heard of Qing Hong Dan Shi? What he said was essentially a blatant disrespect, deliberately looking for trouble. His anger surged instantly. Good! This little brat was getting too bold, not only daring to insult him but also daring to insult Qing Hong Dan Shi.

"Kid, do you want to die?" He Dan Tong shouted sharply, his eyes reddening, looking like he had just lost his parents, his hair standing on end.

"Young Master Chen, Qing Hong Dan Shi is one of the three deputy masters of the Alchemy Pavilion, and the master of Holy Daughter Xi Ao Ling." Zhuo Mu Xian reminded from the side.

"Oh!" Qin Chen understood.

So it was one of the three deputy masters of the Alchemy Pavilion. No wonder this Dan Tong was so arrogant; with a deputy master backing him, even pharmacists in the Alchemy Pavilion would probably have to be respectful. Over time, how could he not become arrogant? However, since Qing Hong Dan Shi was a deputy master, why did he want to call him over? Did he admire him, or did he want to suppress him?

Qin Chen did not wish to know, nor did he care. At least the attitude of He Dan Tong made him not want to have any interactions with Qing Hong Dan Shi. What kind of humble person could produce such an arrogant and conceited Dan Tong? Probably not!
