Finally, they saw it, they finally saw it.
At this moment, Yang Yingying and the others were all shocked and looked up, finally seeing Qin Chen and You Qianxue among the crowd. The endless aura dissipated, and the two figures appeared surprisingly young. However, the aura emanating from them gave a strong sense of pressure, as if they were the Heavenly Dao itself, causing everyone to not dare to look directly.
Hiss!
Many people were shocked, staring incredulously ahead. They never expected that the four late-stage Saint Masters guarding this place were actually these two seemingly young powerhouses. Although they could not discern their cultivation level, the aura they exuded left everyone feeling extremely alarmed.
"Breakthrough, not easy."
Qin Chen and You Qianxue exchanged glances and smiled slightly at each other. To break through to the mid-stage Saint Master realm, Qin Chen did not know how much energy he had expended, but it was not until he encountered the Heavenly Dao Divine Pill of the Spatial and Origin systems that he finally succeeded in breaking through.
In order to break through, nearly all of the nearly fifty mid-grade Saint Veins he had painstakingly earned before had been consumed, leaving almost nothing behind.
But even so, what surged in Qin Chen's heart at this moment was endless excitement.
Especially when seeing the four late-stage Saint Masters of the Ghost Array standing before him, he couldn't help but smile. Though resources had run dry, they could be earned back. Now that he had the Ghost Array Saint Masters, Qin Chen was completely at ease with the Tianwu Danpu and Chendi Pavilion. After he went to the Southern Heavenly Realm, as long as the Lord of Yaomie did not act personally, he would not need to worry about the safety of Chendi Pavilion.
"Not bad, you all are not bad."
Qin Chen nodded in satisfaction, looking at the four Ghost Array Saint Masters. Initially, in Qin Chen's calculations, it was reasonable for the Ghost Array Saint Masters to break through to the late-stage Saint Master after restoring their origins. However, both Huo Lao and Dao Wang Mu Zhifeng only had a 50% probability of breaking through, and Wu Hun Zhi Zu Xing Tianya had less than a 30% chance of breaking through directly.
These three would need decades or even centuries to stabilize before they could hope to break through.
But what Qin Chen did not expect was that the formation he had set up had an unexpectedly good effect. Under the guidance of the aura of the Ghost Array Saint Masters' breakthrough, like a chain reaction, all four experts simultaneously broke through to the late-stage Saint Master, becoming Qin Chen's strongest force at present.
"Thank you, Young Master, thank you, Young Mistress. If it weren't for you, we would not have been able to break through," said Huo Lao and the others excitedly.
The late-stage Saint Master realm was almost their lifelong dream, and this dream had come so suddenly that they themselves could hardly believe it and were overjoyed.
"Eh, these two seem a bit familiar..."
At this moment, in the place where the Tian Tong Merchant Association was located, Feng Lao suddenly frowned.
"Feng Lao, do you know them?" Yang Yingying and the others looked over in shock.
"It's not that I know them, but they seem somewhat familiar. Let me think... I remember now, they resemble two people from a newly opened Alchemy Pavilion in Dongguang City not long ago. Yes, Tianwu Danpu, the Alchemy Master in Tianwu Danpu is very similar..."
Feng Lao suddenly remembered something and said excitedly.
The others in the Tian Tong Merchant Association looked over in shock. Tianwu Danpu? They had also heard of this force. Not long ago, Tianwu Danpu was refining pills for free in Dongguang City, causing quite a stir, and the Tian Tong Merchant Association had naturally taken notice.
"Feng Lao, I have also been to Tian Tong Merchant Association and even stood in line to exchange three furnaces of pills. There were three people in Tianwu Danpu; besides a young Alchemy Master, there was indeed a girl who specifically handed over materials and pills, and a shopkeeper who seemed to match in age. But the aura should be somewhat different, right?" a master questioned, puzzled.
