Martial Master

Half an hour later, Qin Chen and Ruorui walked out of the Refiner Pavilion. They saw several refiners who had rushed to the pavilion hall, hoping to get certified as Earth Level refiners, but were turned away by the staff. Qin Chen couldn't help but sigh; having connections really makes things easier.

If it weren't for Mu Gutian, Qin Chen guessed he wouldn't have been able to sign up at all.

"Chairman Qin, let our Wan Gu Lou handle the registration for the Sky Patch Palace's refining assessment."

After the experience, Ruorui was even more courteous to Qin Chen.

"Very well."

Qin Chen nodded, taking out a jade token and smiling, "I didn't expect Senior Mu's jade token to be so useful. I might use it again next time."

Hearing this, Ruorui suddenly chuckled.

Just as Qin Chen was puzzled about her laughter, the jade token in his hand suddenly cracked and turned into a pile of ashes, disappearing without a trace.

"Damn!" Qin Chen was speechless. So, this jade token was a one-time product, and even as a refiner, he hadn't noticed.

Seeing Qin Chen's embarrassed expression, Ruorui couldn't help but laugh. Only now did she sense a hint of youthful playfulness in Qin Chen, a stark contrast to the aura of pressure and awe she had felt before, leading her to believe he was an old monster reincarnated.

After spending so much time, Qin Chen finally qualified to take the refining assessment at the Sky Patch Palace. He wasted no time and returned to Wan Gu Lou. However, this time, instead of cultivating, he began investigating the entire Yunzhou.

The next step was for the Dust Pavilion to establish its base in the Yunzhou state capital, requiring awareness of Yunzhou's major forces.

In Wan Gu Lou, as long as you have money, any information can be found.

Qin Chen also investigated the Soulfire Family, which he had destroyed, learning that after the ancestor's fall, the family acted decisively. The remaining family experts, led by the family's first genius, Li Wanxue, directly sought refuge with the Yunzhou Lord.

Li Wanxue was quite renowned, being the sister of Li Dongyu, and one of Yunzhou's top beauties and prodigies.

In terms of talent and strength, Li Wanxue was far more formidable than Li Dongyu, having already broken through to the Earth Saint level and receiving the full support of the Soulfire Family, positioning her as their future inheritor.

Moreover, she was deeply strategic and never hurried to marry, only seeking the best match, ultimately finding Yunzhou's heir, Yun Mengze.

After the Soulfire Family ancestor's demise, she ventured alone into the family's ancestral grounds, surviving numerous close calls, and directly entered the unmatched Earth Saint realm, with hopes of achieving the Heaven Saint level. She is now the true ruler and leader of the Soulfire Family.

She's probably harboring a deep hatred for Cangxuan City and Qin Chen.

However, Qin Chen didn't care much. No matter how strong she was, in his eyes, she was merely a junior. If he could kill the Soulfire Family ancestor, why fear a junior?

Even if she reached the unmatched Earth Saint level, or even half-step Heaven Saint, he would kill her all the same.

Qin Chen's only concern was the Yunzhou Lord.

The true overlord of Yunzhou, a giant, a ruler with unimaginable strength. Years ago, he was already a Heaven Saint figure. Over the years, he remained elusive and unfathomable.

This person was a master countless times stronger than the Soulfire Family ancestor, not to be underestimated.

While Qin Chen was domineering, he was also cautious and wouldn't think himself invincible in Yunzhou just because he killed Li Luo. The Yunzhou Lord was as deep and mysterious as the Wan Gu Lou Lord, Tianxing Zhenren, and possibly even more terrifying, otherwise how could he command the many Heaven Saint forces of Yunzhou?

Originally, there was no conflict with the Yunzhou Lord, but Li Wanxue was engaged to Yunzhou's heir, Yun Mengze.

Compared to Li Wanxue, Yun Mengze's fame in Yunzhou was even greater, truly the first prodigy, and the first of his generation to reach the unmatched Earth Saint realm. Such a person wouldn't stop at the unmatched Earth Saint; the Heaven Saint level was his goal.
