Martial Master

“However, with my current cultivation, refining a seventh-grade king-grade pill is still somewhat unlikely, but if I have Zhuo Qingfeng's cooperation, there might be some surprises.”

Zhuo Qingfeng, the master of the Alchemy Pavilion, is a peak sixth-grade alchemist. With his assistance in the refining process, Qin Chen believes it will definitely be much stronger than doing it alone.

Just as he was considering whether to call Zhuo Qingfeng out of his closed-door training, Zhuo Qingfeng unexpectedly came out himself.

“Master Qin, your great grace, I will never forget it for all eternity. From today onwards, you are my benefactor, and if in the future you need anything from my Alchemy Pavilion, don’t hesitate to speak. If I Zhuo ever say half a ‘no,’ may I die an untimely death.”

Zhuo Qingfeng was so excited that he spoke incoherently. As soon as he came out of seclusion, he found Qin Chen, his face full of excitement.

“Zhuo Pavilion Master, it’s just a secret technique for nourishing acupoints, there’s no need to be so excited, right?” Qin Chen said helplessly, looking at Zhuo Qingfeng’s flushed and excited face, fearing that he might go crazy on the spot.

“What do you mean just a secret technique for nourishing acupoints?” Zhuo Qingfeng exclaimed excitedly, “This technique is the root of my life.”

At this moment, Zhuo Qingfeng didn’t look like a master of the Alchemy Pavilion at all; instead, he resembled a boy who had received a cherished gift, almost dancing with joy.

“Master Qin, you don’t know. Back then, I made a mistake in the Alchemy Pavilion and was actually expelled by the Northern Sky Domain Alchemy Pavilion. Moreover, due to my innate weak mental power, I found it very difficult to break through to a high realm, which led to me not being valued by the Northern Sky Domain Alchemy Pavilion, to the extent that even my master couldn’t keep me.”

“But when I left the Northern Sky Domain Alchemy Pavilion, my master told me that as long as I could break the curse of innate weak mental power and break through to the seventh-grade Martial King, or become a seventh-grade king-grade alchemist, there would be a way for me to return to the Northern Sky Domain Alchemy Pavilion.”

“Over the years, I have been diligent and have tried every means to heal my innate weak mental power and step into the Martial King realm, but I have been unable to do so.”

“But Master Qin, your method has given me hope. You don’t know, I have been in closed-door training for a few days according to the nourishing acupoint method you provided, and my mental power has noticeably improved.”

“My perception of martial will has also seen an astonishing improvement compared to before. I have a feeling that as long as I continue to practice according to the secret method you gave me, my innate weak mental power will be completely healed. By then, I will surely be able to step into the Martial King realm and return to the Northern Sky Domain Alchemy Pavilion.”

At this point, Zhuo Qingfeng was already in tears, his face streaming with emotion.

Seeing Zhuo Qingfeng’s excited demeanor, Qin Chen couldn’t help but feel moved.

“I wonder what mistake Zhuo Pavilion Master made back then that led to you being expelled from the Northern Sky Domain?”

At the same time, Qin Chen also felt curious.

From Zhuo Qingfeng’s narration, it appeared that his sect was not an unknown figure in the Northern Sky Domain Alchemy Pavilion. Generally, if a disciple made a mistake, they would just be punished. However, it was rare for someone like Zhuo Qingfeng to be directly demoted to a lower-level Alchemy Pavilion and unable to return for life.

“Of course, I’m just asking. If Zhuo Pavilion Master doesn’t want to speak about it, you don’t have to,” seeing Zhuo Qingfeng's strange expression, Qin Chen waved his hand, as he was just curious.

“There’s nothing I don’t want to say.” Zhuo Qingfeng sighed, his tone tranquil, as if he was caught in memories from back then. “Master Qin… never mind, I’ll call you Chen Shao like Elder Xu and the others do. Chen Shao, have you ever heard of Piao Miao Palace?”
