Martial Master

At that time, he was merely a Human Level Alchemist, and not to mention entering the Tian Huo Hall, he didn't even qualify to step into the Alchemy Pavilion.

Although the Tian Huo Hall was not as strict as it is now, generally speaking, elder-level members could reflect on insights outside the hall at any time, but to enter the Tian Huo Hall still required approval from at least two deputy pavilion masters.

However, he was just a small Alchemist who wasn't even a disciple of the Alchemy Pavilion, and yet he was brought in without any obstruction under Qin Chen's leadership. He still clearly remembers that along the way, no matter where his master, Po Chen Martial Emperor, walked, alchemists would bow to him, their attitudes respectful.

At that time, he didn't even know his master's identity, but later learned that this individual was the legendary Po Chen Martial Emperor, possessing the cultivation of an Earth Level Martial Emperor and achieving the ninth-grade limit in alchemy, not weaker than the current pavilion master of the Alchemy Pavilion.

From that moment on, Mo Yuanbai felt as if a great door had opened in his heart.

Only such a renowned figure as the Po Chen Martial Emperor could bring him, a small Alchemist, directly into the Tian Huo Hall. This was a privilege that only he had, apart from the pavilion master.

In the Tian Huo Hall, Mo Yuanbai received the Fire Spirit Integration Technique taught by Qin Chen and obtained his first piece of Earth Fire.

Though Qin Chen had not formally accepted him as a disciple, from that moment on, Qin Chen had already become his master in his heart.

Without Qin Chen, there would be no later Mo Yuanbai, and there certainly wouldn’t be the current pavilion master of the Alchemy Pavilion.

"Master!"

Mo Yuanbai said excitedly, tears welling in his eyes. He suddenly knelt down in the Tian Huo Hall.

Mo Yuanbai was now the pavilion master of the Alchemy Pavilion, one of the top powerhouses in the continent, a person whose word was law in Dan City, and yet here he was, kneeling directly in front of Qin Chen without a hint of hesitation or awkwardness.

If other alchemists from the outside world saw this scene, they would surely be shocked to the core.

However, Mo Yuanbai felt nothing unnatural; in his heart, Qin Chen was his most revered master. Once a master, always a father; saying he was like a father to him was not an exaggeration.

His respect for Qin Chen had already seeped deeply into his bones.

So when he learned of Qin Chen's identity, he knelt down immediately.

Kneeling was a must! He still remembered that the kneel at the entrance of the Alchemy Pavilion had earned him the qualification to follow Qin Chen. Now, what was wrong with kneeling once more before his master?

Qin Chen gave a wry smile; Mo Yuanbai was just like before, kneeling as soon as he saw him. Even back then, Qin Chen had already said he was no longer his master, but Mo Yuanbai still wanted to kneel.

Anyone who didn’t know would think he had a penchant for kneeling.

But nobody knew that across the world, aside from Qin Chen, no one else could make Mo Yuanbai kneel.

Qin Chen waved his hand and chuckled, "Yuanbai, stand up, no need to kneel, the ground is cold!"

Mo Yuanbai quickly shook his head and said, "No, Master, it's fine to kneel... kneeling is comfortable, and this is the Tian Huo Hall; the ground isn’t cold at all, it’s quite warm, heh heh."

Such an impressive powerhouse as Mo Yuanbai, yet he foolishly smiled like this, looking at Qin Chen with delight and happiness.

He was afraid that this was a dream, and once he woke up, his master would be gone.

"Silly child," Qin Chen sighed, suddenly appearing in front of Mo Yuanbai and said, "Get up."

"Master, just let me kneel; I like kneeling because I'm just so happy."

Mo Yuanbai said excitedly, his gaze resolute.

Qin Chen sighed again, seeing that he wouldn’t say more. Mo Yuanbai was incredibly stubborn; once he made up his mind, hardly anyone could change it.

"You are already the pavilion master of the Alchemy Pavilion, yet you still act so childishly."
