Martial Master

"That's right, I wonder what Master Qin thinks." Duan Ling Tian said confidently.

"The Tai Xuan Zhu Fruit is indeed a good item." Qin Chen smiled.

He did not expect that the Tian Xing Merchant Association would present such a treasure.

The Tai Xuan Zhu Fruit is an extremely terrifying type of fourth-grade spiritual medicine, containing amazing energy that can nourish the meridians of a martial artist and improve their cultivation.

If Qin Chen had not obtained the Seven-Color Heart Lotus earlier, he might have been tempted by this Tai Xuan Zhu Fruit. However, now that he has already acquired the Seven-Color Heart Lotus and broken through to the late Heaven Level, he is not very enthusiastic about the Tai Xuan Zhu Fruit.

"Although it is a good item, I don't particularly need it right now."

Just as a smile appeared on Duan Ling Tian's face, Qin Chen suddenly spoke again.

Duan Ling Tian was taken aback: "Master Qin, could it be that you don't want the Tai Xuan Zhu Fruit? With Master Qin's alchemy abilities, the Tai Xuan Zhu Fruit could definitely elevate your cultivation level by at least one rank."

"Improving my cultivation is best done step by step; why aim too high?"

Qin Chen's words almost made Duan Ling Tian spit blood.

At this moment, he found it hard to understand.

Qin Chen's purpose for coming to Wu City should be to collect materials to enhance his own strength; otherwise, he wouldn't have come here at this time. But now, he showed a complete lack of interest in the Tai Xuan Zhu Fruit.

This is the Tai Xuan Zhu Fruit! At his current cultivation level, it should be the most necessary thing for him. How could he not be interested at all?

"Could he be fooling me?"

Suddenly, Duan Ling Tian had such a thought.

But upon careful consideration, he found it impossible. From Qin Chen's expressions and demeanor, it was clear that he was indeed uninterested in the Tai Xuan Zhu Fruit, and not just pretending.

Seeing that Qin Chen was truly disinterested in the Tai Xuan Zhu Fruit, Duan Ling Tian's heart sank. His gaze turned anxious, but he still calmly said: "Master Qin, even if you don't need the Tai Xuan Zhu Fruit, to run such a First Alchemy Pavilion in Wu City, you need a strong backing. Even if our Tian Xing Merchant Association has no objections to you, the other three forces may not be so accommodating. You should know that the Zhu Family, Song Family, and Martial Cultivation House are not as reasonable as our Tian Xing Merchant Association."

Unexpectedly, Qin Chen nodded and said: "President Duan, you make a very good point. So I have decided that after tomorrow, this First Alchemy Pavilion will cease operations. You also know that I need to participate in the re-examination of the Five Nations Grand Competition. If I don't set off soon, it will probably be too late. Since I'm leaving, the Zhu Family, Song Family, and Martial Cultivation House will have no reason to trouble me."

Duan Ling Tian was completely stunned; he, who was usually calm, was left dumbfounded.

He did not expect that Qin Chen would actually decide not to open for business after what he said. At Qin Chen's age, he should be in that fearless, reckless phase of youth, right?

Little did he know, after two days had passed, Qin Chen realized that his profits were truly terrifying. If he continued to exchange, regardless of how wary the three major forces in Wu City were, they would definitely take action. Even if it was not in the open, they would surely do so in the dark.

His primary purpose for coming here was still to lift the Hundred Ghost Curse on him. Since there was no way to do that, wasting time here had little meaning.

"Master Qin, Wu City is a huge market, are you really going to give up just like that?"

Duan Ling Tian even started to persuade Qin Chen.

To ordinary people, Qin Chen's First Alchemy Pavilion seemed to be stealing business from the Tian Xing Merchant Association, and the higher-ups in the Tian Xing Merchant Association thought the same way.

But Duan Ling Tian did not believe so.
