Martial Master

"Thank you, Young Master Chen. I'll help you and the Pavilion Master!"

Liu Guang exclaimed, his face filled with ecstasy.

The last time he accompanied Qin Chen in refining medicine, he gained immense benefits. After returning, he contemplated for a long time, and his alchemical skills had experienced remarkable improvement.

With such a great opportunity again, how could he think of missing it? He wanted to join even if it meant risking his life!

He even felt that after listening to Young Master Chen's teachings a few more times, breaking through to a Third-Rank Alchemist would be just around the corner.

Hearing Liu Guang's excited voice, Zhang Ying and Lin Tian, who had just walked to the door, staggered and almost fell.

They widened their eyes in shock.

What? Helping Young Master Chen? And so excited about it?

Big brother, you’re a Second-Rank Alchemist! Just showing that off makes you a big deal in the entire royal capital, and you're also a deacon of the Alchemy Pavilion.

When you step outside, even the major lords of the kingdom would call you Master.

How can you be refining alongside Young Master Chen, as if you found a huge bargain, jumping up in excitement?

The two couldn't help but feel dizzy.

Is this Liu Guang a masochist? I didn't notice it before.

In the refining room.

"Young Master Chen, where is your master?"

Seeing Qin Chen come in and directly prepare to handle the medicinal materials, Xiao Ya couldn't help but ask.

"Master? What master?"

Qin Chen replied suspiciously.

"This refining process isn’t being handled by your master?"

Blinking her eyes, Xiao Ya felt a bit dizzy, a bad thought rising in her heart.

"Oh." Qin Chen, being very clever, immediately understood Xiao Ya's confusion and smiled, "This time, it's still you helping me refine."

Sure enough.

Her guess was confirmed, and Xiao Ya's lips twitched; she almost cried.

"Young Master Chen, these are all Fourth-Rank medicinal materials. Are you sure you want me to refine them?"

What's wrong with Fourth-Rank medicinal materials?

Qin Chen was puzzled: "Didn’t you succeed in refining last time?"

Pfft!

She almost spat out a mouthful of blood; Xiao Ya wished she could slap Qin Chen to death.

The last time she succeeded was because she was refining a Third-Rank pill, but this time, it was Fourth-Rank materials.

The two are simply not comparable!

"Don't worry, just like last time, I will guide you from the side; you just need to follow my instructions." Seeing Xiao Ya still hesitating, Qin Chen immediately comforted her.

Her mind went blank; she almost fainted.

This isn’t about guidance; it’s about the potent medicinal properties contained within the Fourth-Rank materials. As a Third-Rank Alchemist, she might not even have the ability to extract the effects from the Fourth-Rank materials, let alone refine them. What good would guidance do?

For a moment, Xiao Ya nearly went crazy.

If it weren’t for her success last time, she probably would have turned and left by now.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ya's chest heaved up and down.

"Don’t worry, if there are any problems, I won't blame you, but you must guarantee to follow my steps." Qin Chen said helplessly.

"Alright."

Gritting her teeth, Xiao Ya nodded.

Since Qin Chen said so, what else could she say?

However, although she agreed, she looked at Qin Chen with a foolish expression; her eyes clearly conveyed the message that if they failed in refining later, don't blame them.

"Young Master Chen, you must tell us what we are going to refine, right?" Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Xiao Ya asked.

Liu Guang nearby also looked over curiously.

"We're refining Blood Spirit Pool Liquid for Lin Tian and Zhang Ying, so they can also receive a baptism from the Blood Spirit Pool!"

"Blood Spirit Pool Liquid? For a baptism?"

The two were stunned: "You can refine Blood Spirit Pool Liquid with just these medicinal materials?"

They couldn’t comprehend at all!

The Blood Spirit Pool is located in the five northern countries. Xiao Ya had studied it before; the liquid contains a special energy, but it’s hard to preserve. Once the Blood Spirit Pool Liquid is taken out, it quickly loses its vitality and becomes ordinary liquid that cannot be preserved.
