Martial Master

After dealing with Wu Liangyu, Qin Chen didn't dwell on it but went into seclusion to refine pills once again.

At this stage, having an additional third-grade pill was equivalent to having an extra fourth-grade spiritual herb, which was an incredibly lucrative deal for Qin Chen.

Due to the lack of alchemists, Wu City, located at the border of five nations, was bustling with people and merchants coming and going in droves.

Furthermore, being close to the Xuan Chong Mountain Range, it had vast lands and abundant resources, meaning that many powerful warriors held a significant number of spiritual herbs but had no means to sell them.

Even if they could sell them, they wouldn't fetch a good price, resulting in a backlog of treasures.

This represented a tremendous business opportunity for Qin Chen.

It was also the reason behind his efforts to come to Wu City.

The next day.

When Xu Xiong opened the doors to the Alchemy Pavilion, he found the area outside packed with people.

From a distance, the densely packed crowd resembled a sea of people, stretching as far as the eye could see, which startled Xu Xiong greatly.

In all his years running Wu City, he had never encountered such a grand scene; even the large auction held by the Tianxing Merchant Association every three years paled in comparison.

Xu Yanyan and the others behind Xu Xiong were also bewildered, unable to count how many people were jostling together in front of them.

With parched mouths and sweaty palms, Xu Xiong stepped outside.

Seeing Xu Xiong and the others emerge, the crowd at the Alchemy Pavilion immediately parted, creating a clearing.

Despite the large number of people, the crowd was surprisingly orderly, without a hint of chaos.

Many people's gazes frequently darted to the head of Wu Liangyu at the entrance of the Alchemy Pavilion.

Wu Liangyu's cultivation level had reached the peak of the early Xuan level, making him a well-known figure in Wu City, so many recognized him.

Although the crowd didn't know why Wu Liangyu's head was hanging there, none of them were fools; even without thinking hard, it was obvious that he must have coveted the pills from the Alchemy Pavilion and attempted a nighttime ambush, only to end up dead.

Though Qin Chen and the others had eliminated Liu Cheng and his companions from Liu Ge yesterday, Liu Cheng's cultivation was merely the peak of the late Tian level, not a true top-tier expert.

With Wu Liangyu dead here, the crowd suddenly awakened to the fact that the Alchemy Pavilion’s strength was far from the weak front it appeared to be.

Some desperate individuals had even resolved that if the Alchemy Pavilion could indeed offer the Chong Xuan Dan and Ning Li Dan today, they might dare to break in tonight and do something.

However, at this moment, everyone felt a cold chill in their hearts, breaking out in a cold sweat, secretly grateful that they had held back last night out of caution; otherwise, it might have been their heads hanging there.

After Xu Xiong and the others emerged, they quickly set up a high platform at the entrance of the Alchemy Pavilion.

The platform, approximately three or four meters high, allowed those on it to clearly see the crowd on the street.

Just as the platform was completed, Qin Chen walked out of the Alchemy Pavilion.

"Are there really Chong Xuan Dan and Ning Li Dan today?"

"How would I know? I hope so; I'm so nervous."

"Master Qin is out, everyone be quiet."

"Don't speak; Master Qin has arrived."

Before Xu Xiong could say anything, someone had already reminded the surrounding noisy crowd, and even Qin Chen's name had been learned.

Qin Chen was taken aback by the number of people on the street, but he felt more excitement than fear.

Seeing the anticipation on most of their faces, he immediately realized he was about to make a fortune today.

Moreover, Qin Chen's soul power detected more than one Xuan-level expert among the crowd, all of whom stood there, waiting earnestly.

With so many Xuan-level warriors present, Qin Chen had little concern.
