Martial Master

“Is it possible that these are the only reasons?” Qin Chen smiled as he looked at Xuan Sheng Pavilion Master, showing no signs of sadness at the other's refusal.

“Otherwise, what do you think?” Xuan Sheng Pavilion Master replied with a smile.

Qin Chen also smiled, “What you said is very true, but what if I say I can help you?”

“You can help me?”

Xuan Sheng Pavilion Master was taken aback, and Huangfu Nan was also stunned, looking at Qin Chen in shock. Could this kid be crazy? How could he say such a thing?

He was just a small Apothecary King. What could he do to help the Pavilion Master?

Qin Chen continued with a smile, “I have heard that you come from the Martial Domain. Although I do not know why you came to the Alchemy Pavilion in the Northern Heaven Domain, it should be a demotion for you, considering that the Northern Heaven Domain is the weakest among the four domains of the Tianwu Continent, right?”

“Qin Chen, do you know what you are saying?” Huangfu Nan suddenly shouted, his face turning ashen.

This kid must be out of his mind to say such things. Does he really think that the Pavilion Master wouldn’t dare to kill him?

Xuan Sheng Pavilion Master’s expression also darkened, and a vague killing intent began to spread from him.

Although this killing intent was much more concealed than the one Xuan Sheng Pavilion Master had previously revealed, it instantly made the entire reception room feel as if it had plunged into an icy world, an overwhelming chill filling the air.

Even though what Qin Chen said was the truth, as the Pavilion Master of the Alchemy Pavilion in the Northern Heaven Domain, no one had ever dared to say he was demoted in front of him. Qin Chen was the first.

“Kid, if you don’t give me a reasonable explanation, you should know what comes next.” Xuan Sheng Pavilion Master said coldly, the warm atmosphere in the reception room having vanished, leaving only a sharp killing intent.

Qin Chen’s smile remained unchanged: “For someone like you who has been demoted, wanting to return to the Alchemy Pavilion in the Martial Domain generally has two paths. The first is to break through your cultivation. As long as you reach the eighth-level Apothecary King realm in alchemy, you can naturally return to the Martial Domain's Alchemy Pavilion and be reappointed. Alternatively, if your cultivation can reach the Nineth Level Martial God realm, there is also a possibility that the Martial Domain may recall you.”

“However, reaching the Nineth Level Martial God is incredibly difficult. For a Martial Emperor to breakthrough to the Nineth Level Martial God is a qualitative transformation. The Martial God is the pinnacle on the continent, and this barrier has blocked countless strong practitioners. Breaking through is no easy feat. Based on your current cultivation, I dare to say that even with some fortuitous encounter, it would be impossible to achieve within fifty years.”

“If you don’t have a fortuitous encounter, it’s quite normal to find it difficult to breakthrough in a lifetime.”

“As for the eighth-level Apothecary King, it’s the same. To refine a seventh-level king pill, one must reach a level of consummation in alchemy that aligns with the will of heaven and earth. The eighth-level pills can even attract heavenly phenomena and tribulations, representing a qualitative transformation in alchemical attainment.”

“If you could receive guidance from various masters in the Martial Domain's Alchemy Pavilion and immerse yourself in the study of alchemy, perhaps after a decade or several decades, you might have a chance to reach the Apothecary King realm. But here in the Northern Heaven Domain, not to mention the scarcity of spiritual herbs, there hasn’t even been an Apothecary King. With your talents, if you want to rely solely on yourself to reach the Apothecary King realm, it’s exceedingly difficult!”

“Nonsense!” Xuan Sheng Pavilion Master sneered, his voice cold, “I thought your talent was not bad, but who would have thought you to be so arrogant? I truly doubt whether my previous judgment of you was incorrect!”
