Martial Master

"Ouyang Cheng, let go of me quickly!"

Liu Guang's face was filled with disdain as he hurriedly pushed Ouyang Cheng away. "How do you know the pill formula that Qin Chen gave is real?"

"The Pavilion Master has already successfully refined it."

"So fast, are you joking?" Liu Guang was furious.

What was wrong with Ouyang Cheng? He was his superior, a second-grade alchemist, yet he kept making jokes at his expense.

How long had he been gone? Not even half a stick of incense, and the Pavilion Master had already refined the second-grade True Essence Pill that Qin Chen provided?

"Liu Guang, I really have finished refining it. This is the second-grade True Essence Pill I made; take a look."

At this moment, Xiao Ya raised her hand, and a True Essence Pill landed in Liu Guang's hand.

"It's actually real?"

Looking at the True Essence Pill in his hand, Liu Guang was stunned.

Then, after taking the True Essence Pill, Liu Guang also went crazy. The effect of this True Essence Pill was exactly as Qin Chen had described, and even exceeded it.

Could there really be such a magical True Essence Pill in this world?

Despite being prepared, when the True Essence Pill truly appeared before him, Liu Guang still couldn't suppress his shock.

Xiao Ya said seriously, "I didn't expect that the difficulty of refining the True Essence Pill provided by Qin Chen would be so low, and the speed so fast. Based on my estimation, if it were you refining it, you could produce a batch in just fifteen minutes."

"Is this true?"

"Would I need to lie to you?"

Fifteen minutes to refine a batch of second-grade True Essence Pills.

Liu Guang felt dizzy and nearly fell to the ground.

The fastest batch of second-grade pills he had ever refined took a full half an hour; now the Pavilion Master was saying he could refine such second-grade True Essence Pills in fifteen minutes? He could hardly believe it.

"Have you investigated Qin Chen's background?" Xiao Ya asked.

Liu Guang hurriedly replied, "Pavilion Master, I've already investigated it. I came here to tell you this matter. Qin Chen is actually the grandson of the Ding Wu Wang, the champion of this year's end-of-year exam at Tianxing Academy. Moreover, he had never awakened his bloodline until recently, and upon awakening, he displayed terrifying power, as if he had become a different person."

The position of the Alchemy Pavilion was such that if one put in the effort, it was straightforward to find Qin Chen's information. Liu Guang immediately relayed all the information he found about Qin Chen to Xiao Ya.

"A waste turned into a different person in just half a month. It seems that the person behind him is truly extraordinary," Xiao Ya said with a meaningful smile.

Liu Guang and the others were taken aback. "Pavilion Master, what do you mean?"

Xiao Ya smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes narrowing. "You don't think that a mere teenager would possess such precious ancient pill formulas, do you? There must be an extremely powerful figure standing behind him."

"Are you saying it's the Ding Wu Wang?"

"No, while Ding Wu Wang is strong, he is limited to the Da Qi Kingdom. The person behind Qin Chen not only solved his bloodline issue but also granted him such terrifying alchemical talent—definitely not something the Da Qi Kingdom can boast of. Even among the five nations of the northwest, it would be hard to find someone like that." Xiao Ya's expression turned serious. "This person's mastery in alchemy must far exceed mine by several times."

"Hiss!"

Liu Guang and the others couldn't help but gasp in shock.

A figure in alchemy who was several times stronger than the Pavilion Master—could it be a fourth-grade Mystic Level Alchemist? Or someone even more terrifying than a fourth-grade Alchemist?

Just thinking about it made Liu Guang and the others tremble with excitement.

Moreover, from the Pavilion Master's perspective, the strong figure behind Qin Chen might even come from other regions of the continent.

It was rumored that the Tianwu Continent was filled with experts, and the five nations of the northwest were merely a remote corner of the continent. They couldn't even begin to imagine how powerful the experts outside were.
