Martial Master

Qin Chen forced himself to calm down.

He was very clear that the black slave had clearly entered the palace with him, and it was impossible for him to disappear for no reason. It was very likely that he had gone somewhere or triggered some mechanism.

Was it an illusion?

He closed his eyes and used his spiritual energy to sense.

But what disappointed Qin Chen was that the entire great hall was extremely eerie and cold, but there were no signs of any illusion formations at all.

This meant that there was not the slightest formation within the entire palace.

But if it wasn't a formation, then what could it be?

Qin Chen frowned; this place was too strange, making him feel very uncomfortable.

"I must find a way to leave here."

Qin Chen urgently wanted to find a way out, frantically searching for an exit in the great hall.

Once.

Twice.

Three times...

After searching more than ten times, he still found nothing.

Moreover, the black slave seemed to have completely vanished, with no trace of his presence anywhere around.

"Could it be that the black slave encountered some misfortune?"

A sense of dread sank in Qin Chen’s heart.

"Damn it!"

His face turned ugly, and his heart was completely in turmoil.

"No, this won't do."

Suddenly, Qin Chen took a deep breath and exhaled deeply.

His previously restless heart gradually calmed down.

He knew that if he continued this way, his mindset would completely collapse, making it even more impossible to get out.

He could only force himself to calm down.

However, what troubled Qin Chen was that every time his heart was about to settle down completely, a sense of restlessness would inexplicably arise.

"I must find something to do."

Qin Chen made up his mind; since he couldn't leave, he might as well cultivate here. After all, he had obtained so many spirit herbs before, and it could be said that he had already become a mobile pharmacy.

He dared to guarantee that even a certain Alchemy Pavilion in the Hundred Nations would not dare claim to be richer than him.

Thinking of this, Qin Chen immediately summoned the alchemy furnace and took out a large number of spirit herbs. He sat cross-legged in the great hall and began to refine pills.

As his hands touched the cold alchemy furnace, and a large number of spirit herbs were lined up one by one, Qin Chen's heart became inexplicably ethereal.

This was a conditioned reflex, a natural feeling.

In his previous life, whenever he encountered any headaches or unresolved problems, he would choose to refine pills.

Whenever he started refining pills, all his worries and troublesome issues would be instantly cast aside, and his previously restless heart would gain unprecedented peace.

The Qinglian Demon Fire gently licked the bottom of the alchemy furnace. Qin Chen emptied his mind and immersed himself completely in the process of alchemy, as spirit herbs under his control were dazzlingly tossed into the alchemy furnace.

Moments later, a batch of fragrant pills had already been refined by him and placed into a nearby bottle.

But Qin Chen did not stop and continued to refine madly.

Second batch.

Third batch.

Fourth batch.

...

Gradually, Qin Chen became completely immersed in the refining process.

He even forgot where he was; all that filled his mind was how to refine pills.

One batch of pills after another emerged, and Qin Chen didn’t even glance at them before tossing them aside.

Fourth-rank pills.

Fifth-rank pills.

By the end, even sixth-rank pills were effortlessly refined by Qin Chen.

As Qin Chen's state improved, he initially produced high-quality pills, but later almost every one was exceptional, with not a single flaw.

Time passed.

Qin Chen did not know how long he had been refining. He kept refining until his powerful sixth-level spiritual energy was completely exhausted, and his internal true power was nearly depleted before finally stopping.

At this moment, more than a hundred bottles of pills had already appeared on the ground beside Qin Chen.

After stopping the refining process, Qin Chen unhesitatingly swallowed some of the pills.
