Martial Master

In truth, Qin Chen had long wanted to make a trip back to the Northern Heaven Domain, but he never had the time. After coming out of the Ancient Yu Realm, he first attacked the Law Enforcement Hall to divert Piao Miao Palace's attention, then went to the Ji family and Piao Miao Palace to rescue You Qianxue, temporarily setting aside matters in the Northern Heaven Domain.

Before coming to Piao Miao Palace, Qin Chen specifically sent Mokara and others to make contact with Dustli Pavilion and to hide. But unexpectedly, Shangguan Xier also issued orders at that time.

"No, I need to get out immediately." Qin Chen's eyes were cold, flickering with cold light.

He knew that with the power and means of Piao Miao Palace, targeting Dustli Pavilion would be too much for Skull Throne Master and the others to handle. Not to mention Black Slave, even those like Wang Qiming, who had been sent to the Alchemy Pavilion and Ju Bao Lou, would be in danger.

He must go out to stop all this. In fact, as Qin Chen had anticipated, the dark agents placed by Piao Miao Palace in the Alchemy Pavilion had already begun their plan targeting Zi Xun and the others.

Alchemy Pavilion, Hidden Pill Hall!

This was one of the treasured halls where the Alchemy Pavilion stored its pills. Zi Xun and the others, recommended by Ouyang Zhengqi as gifted disciples, had now each reached the late Martial Emperor realm. Therefore, every month, they could receive a certain amount of pills from the Alchemy Pavilion as a form of nurturing meant specifically for cultivating talents. Depending on talent, the level of support varied, and Zi Xun, Zhao Lingshan, Lin Tian, Zhang Ying, and Yu Wenfeng naturally received the highest level.

When they first joined the Alchemy Pavilion, they were only at the seventh tier Martial King realm, but now each had reached the late Martial Emperor realm, with some already at the peak Martial Emperor level, all within just a few years. Of course, without the opportunities from the Ancient Yu Realm, Zi Xun and the others were still a bit away from the half-step Martial God realm. Crossing from the peak Martial Emperor to the half-step Martial God was a difficult barrier, and many people would be stuck there for life.

Zi Xun and the others had all received the inheritance of ancient powerhouses in the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm, so they would eventually cross this barrier, but when exactly was hard to say.

Today was the day Zi Xun and the others were to receive their support. Surprisingly, all five arrived at the Hidden Pill Hall at the same time. They were a bit surprised to encounter each other since, although they all joined the Alchemy Pavilion, their respective residences weren't together, making it hard to meet at the same time.

Walking into the Hidden Pill Hall and seeing the five of them arrive, the Alchemy Pavilion steward responsible for distributing the support immediately smiled.

"You five have finally come. I'm really sorry; the pills this month were a bit scarce, which is why you've been delayed so late. I purposely made you come a bit later, but the pills are ready now, and you can go in and get them," the steward said with a smile. The five were stunned, saying, "Aren't the pills usually distributed by the steward? Isn't this the Hidden Pill Hall? We dare not enter rashly."

The Hidden Pill Hall was a forbidden area of the Alchemy Pavilion; even a Martial God elder couldn't easily enter unless they were a core elder, and even then, they had to register.

"Haha, it's fine." The steward laughed, "Today's pills were just finished being refined, and I didn't have the time to fetch them, so they're in the outer grid of the first floor of the hall. Just go get them yourself; I'm allowing it, what are you afraid of?" The steward was quite familiar with Zi Xun and the others and didn't mind at all.

"This won't do," Zi Xun frowned. Even with the steward's permission, they didn't dare enter such an important place as the Hidden Pill Hall. If outsiders saw it, it would be a serious problem.
