Martial Master

From the skilled movements of Qinghong Dan Shi, it was evident that his Alchemy Technique had reached an extremely advanced level. The alchemists below, who recognized his skill, couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. However, in the center of the plaza, Qinghong Dan Shi showed no change in expression, still rapidly processing every medicinal herb in front of him. He was completely immersed in the alchemy process, and nothing around him could disturb him in the slightest.

It seemed that this was not just a simple competition, but a significant alchemical endeavor related to his future, as he was entirely absorbed in it.

Qin Chen’s gaze sharpened; it was no wonder Qinghong Dan Shi was known as the Alchemy Enthusiast and enjoyed mentoring other alchemists. His obsession with the way of pills was indeed extraordinary.

“Dragon Dance and Phoenix Soar Technique!”

“Dual True Element Manipulation Method!”

“Vortex Reversal Technique!”

“Nine Spin Heat Cauldron Method!”

“……”

One after another, advanced alchemical techniques were seamlessly showcased by Qinghong Dan Shi, quickly processing a large pile of medicinal herbs in front of him. His movements were pleasing to the eye, causing the crowd below to erupt in a series of gasps.

These techniques were the profound skills all alchemists on the continent aspired to learn, often difficult to witness, yet at this moment, multiple techniques were displayed by Qinghong Dan Shi.

Even the Xuan Sheng Pavilion Master couldn’t help but express his awe.

As the Deputy Master of the Northern Domain Alchemy Pavilion, Qinghong Dan Shi was a powerful figure who had received formal education in alchemy, unlike many rogue alchemists. Since childhood, he had been trained through the Alchemy Pavilion system, mastering various secret techniques that ordinary people could hardly access. Coupled with his astonishing talent and his family being a renowned clan in the Alchemy City, he had emerged remarkable, becoming one of the three vice masters of the Alchemy Pavilion, even seeming to be the most likely to surpass the current three vice masters in alchemical skill, reminiscent of the esteemed position held by Xuan Yi, the Pill King.

He was the most promising among the three vice masters to break through to the late stage of the Seventh Rank Pill King.

This was indeed no trivial matter!

At this moment, all the alchemists present in the plaza were shouting in exhilaration; their eyes were red with excitement, their bodies trembling.

Almost all alchemists were wide-eyed, staring intently at Qinghong Dan Shi’s concoction. Witnessing a master like Qinghong Dan Shi at work was an incredibly rare learning opportunity for these ordinary alchemists.

“Quite interesting!” A smile crept onto Qin Chen’s face.

“By the way, has Qin Chen started concocting yet? What step is he at?”

Suddenly, someone seemed to remember something and turned to look at Qin Chen, only to catch sight of the strange smile at the corner of Qin Chen’s mouth.

They were all speechless.

Why was Qin Chen just standing there grinning without starting to concoct anything?

They rubbed their eyes in disbelief, and sure enough, he was smiling.

Could it be that Qin Chen had been scared silly? It was quite possible!

Thinking about it, the alchemy techniques displayed by Qinghong Dan Shi were indeed terrifying. Any single technique among those demonstrated would be enough for an alchemist to be considered a master, yet Qinghong Dan Shi had perfected each and every one.

If he were to compete against Qinghong Dan Shi, he would probably be too scared to even function!

However, these thoughts merely flickered through their minds, and soon their attention was drawn back to Qinghong Dan Shi. They were unwilling to miss any details of his alchemy process.

If at first, some alchemists held out hope for Qin Chen’s victory, seeing Qinghong Dan Shi’s remarkable skills made them lose all confidence in Qin Chen.

Qinghong Dan Shi, worthy of his title as the top deputy master of the Alchemy Pavilion, infused every step of the process with artistic beauty. He was fully immersed in his crafting, his gaze focused and somewhat dazed, his hands deft and steady.
