Martial Master

Finally, the truth is about to be revealed.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and they were all shaken.

Huangfu Nan was an elder beside the Pavilion Master, and his appearance naturally represented the Pavilion Master’s intentions. However, what was the Pavilion Master's attitude towards Qin Chen? Was it admiration or disdain?

Looking at Qin Chen being taken towards the interior of the Alchemy Pavilion, many alchemists immediately gathered, even some old fellows who rarely showed up appeared.

There was no choice; this matter was of great significance and did not allow for negligence, even relating to the future of the Alchemy Pavilion.

If the request from the Xuan Yi Pill King was revoked, then the Xuan Yi lineage would be completely destroyed, with no chance for resurgence.

But if Qin Chen's application to become the Holy Son was approved by the Pavilion Master, it would also be a major upheaval for the Alchemy City.

A twenty-year-old Pill King made everyone consider what kind of waves this young man would create within the Alchemy Pavilion.

Under Huangfu Nan's lead, Qin Chen walked inward into the Alchemy Pavilion.

“You, causing trouble everywhere, I really don’t know what to say to you…”

Huangfu Nan actually had quite a bit of admiration for Qin Chen, but now he looked like he was frustrated. There was no choice; he had received too many bad news lately.

Can’t he give him a break?

"The younger generation is also helpless," Qin Chen replied wryly. Could he be blamed for this? Others insisted on causing trouble; should he just swallow his anger?

"Elder Huangfu, may I ask what the Pavilion Master’s attitude towards me is..." Qin Chen cautiously inquired, wanting to glean some information.

"Don't ask me," Elder Huangfu shook his head, "I cannot speculate on the Pavilion Master’s attitude. However, the Master does not favor arrogant individuals, you..."

Elder Huangfu was simply speechless.

The Pavilion Master's closed-door room and refining room were located on the top floor of the Alchemy Pavilion. After a moment, Qin Chen was brought to the door.

"Master, I have brought him in!" Elder Huangfu said respectfully at the door, bowing his head.

"Come in."

A cold voice came from inside, carrying an endless majesty.

Huangfu Nan then pushed the door open and led Qin Chen inside.

In the room, the most eye-catching feature was a massive alchemy furnace, completely black, with flames burning below, as if it would never extinguish.

Qin Chen took a closer look before turning his gaze to an elderly man in the room who was drinking tea. His beard was completely white, yet he appeared vigorous, especially his eyes, which shone with an imposing aura that commanded respect even when he was not angry.

"Kid, you have quite the audacity!"

The icy voice sounded, tinged with a bit of chill, as the old man set down his tea, his gaze indifferent.

This elder was naturally the Pavilion Master, Master Xuan Cheng. He looked at Qin Chen with an expression full of unspoken authority, requiring no special action; a mere thought could suppress all under heaven, strong beyond description.

Late-stage Eight Tier Martial Emperor!

Qin Chen's gaze sharpened. The other person's strength absolutely reached the late stage of the Eight Tier, unfathomable.

Such a master was certainly powerful enough.

Qin Chen’s thoughts raced, but his expression remained calm as he revealed a faint smile: "Senior, I don’t quite understand."

"I heard you want to become the Holy Son?" Master Xuan Cheng said, his expression tense, an illusory pressure materializing behind him, transforming into various forms, all filled with might.

This old man was undoubtedly a top-tier expert among the late-stage Eight Tier.

Qin Chen thought to himself that this was an existence of a giant level, capable of suppressing the heavens with ease. Even in the Martial Domain, he was not a trivial figure.

But he remained neither servile nor overbearing, smiling, "In response to Senior, I indeed have such an intention!"

"Hmph, putting aside your qualifications to become the Holy Son of my Alchemy City, you’ve only been here for a few days and have already stirred up a storm. You not only acted against the Holy Son within the Alchemy Pavilion but even committed murder in the Alchemy City, and you boldly beat down the alchemists under Qing Hong’s command. What audacity you have!"
