"It's the Pavilion Master!" everyone here took a step back before turning and facing where the woman's voice came from. They had already cupped their fists together and bowed forward before she appeared on this floor.

The only exception was Chen Tu and Qin Lei, who didn't know what to do. Could this be something normal that everyone did?

But if it was the norm, how could Qin Lei have never heard about it? He was here for over six years, after all! At the same time, this shows how amazing the Pavilion Master was.

All it took was a sentence from her to make everyone here quiet down and wait for her to come down from the upper floor.

The dim candlelight could only enhance her mysteriousness much further. The orange flame flickered near the stairs to reveal her beautiful white and light blue robes. Even Chen Tu couldn't help but be mesmerized by her bulging bust, decently covered by an exquisite white cloth.

Although it was completely covered without showing her skin in between, the accentuated figures of her still made everyone's blood boil. In addition, a scarf of two colors circled around her elbows and dropped on her back, somewhat draped around her waist.

This placement helped to heighten her figure around her ample bottom.

With such a perfect figure, there's no wonder everyone addressed her as milady. This woman is absolutely worthy of the name Shuiyue Liu, representing the meaning of the Moon in water.

If Xia Xuan-Xuan's appearance was equal to City-Toppling Beauty, then Lady Shuiyue Liu's level would be at the Country-Toppling Beauty. Of course, the former's beauty doesn't lose to her. The only difference between them was the maturity shown by the latter exceeded the norm.

With such a magnificent appearance, there's no wonder why she dares to build her bedroom on the fourth floor of this pavilion. Even if they were given a chance to peep, who would be able to bear the responsibility of tainting her reputation?

In front of her, things like perverted thoughts and obsession were less than insignificant. Perhaps, the idea of not being able to love her enough could mean a little.

"What are y'all waiting for? Chup-Chup and get things done." Lady Shuiyue said and pointed her finger at the Alchemist Token in Qin Lei's hand.

"Just inject a little Spiritual Energy into the token. As long it reacted, that would be enough to proof it is a real thing." she added. The lady appeared to have a smile, but nobody here could notice how her gaze suddenly sharpened and stared at the worker beside Chen Tu and Qin Lei.

It only lasted for a second, but that was enough to deliver a hint of coldness akin to winter frost around the worker. Needless to say, she had already caught wind of this guy's attention.

As for Chen Tu, he followed Lady Shuiyue Liu's suggestion and directed some Spiritual Energy into the Alchemist Token to try activating its ability.

The image of an Alchemy Cauldron immediately appeared and covered both Chen Tu and Qin Lei. And based on how dense the picture was, this power should be more than enough to block against an attack from a Golder Core Expert without a problem.

"I never thought that the rumor was actually true! The Alchemist Token from Heavenly Alchemist Pavilion could be activated to protect its user from an attack as strong as a Peak Level Golden Core, " one worker said.

"Someone go over and bring the Spiritium Velvet Antlers out from its display case. In addition, bring another hundred Spiritual Replenishing Pills over here as a token of apology." Lady Shuiyue Liu said.

She was indeed worthy of being the owner of this Worldly Treasures pavilion.

"By the way, are your name Qin Lei?" the pavilion master asked after everyone left the place. The question caught Qin Lei by surprise, but luckily, her questions had no ill intent.

"Yes, milady. This disciple's name is indeed Qin Lei." he quickly responded. Of course, the reply could not hide his surprise when Lady Shuiyue Liu mentioned his name. But his attention was quickly taken away by the Spiritium Velvet Antlers brought to their side.

Meanwhile, two bags containing fifty Spiritual Replenishing Pills were handed to Chen Tu.

"Will you be heading back to the Crimson Flame City now?" Lady Shuiyue Liu continued. This time, her question puzzled Qin Lei because his status in this Outer Grotto was too mediocre for the others to check about his origin.

"Yes, milady." Qin Lei answered her politely. He can't deny it and suddenly change his mind right after leaving the Worldly Treasures Pavilion, correct? This is already a fact that he'll have to take a short leave from the grotto.

"In that case, just hitch in one of our horse carriages. They would depart towards Crimson Flame City in the next hour or so. Using them would be more comfortable than going on a horse." Lady Shuiyue Liu sounded like she favored Qin Lei quite a lot.

At the same time, her suggestion also got rid of a small part of Qin Lei's worries.

The first concern of Qin Lei is his time. After all, the ride back to Crimson Flame City would take about three days on horseback. But the rest and sleeping time in between wasn't accounted for. And his next concern is naturally his safety.

Although the price of seven thousand Spiritual Coins was neither too much nor little, this figure is enough for a family to go from nothing to something. If the news about a treasure in Qin Lei's hand got spread to outsiders, it could endanger him.

He might be an eighth-level Body Tempering Cultivator, but is there a lack of experts in this Crimson Cloud County?

Ultimately, riding in the Worldly Treasures Pavilion's carriages would bring him more security. And naturally, Qin Lei wouldn't turn down her offer.

"In that case, this disciple will bother the fellow seniors of the Worldly Treasures Pavilion a little longer." Qin Lei replied with his hand cupped together. He turned around, expressing both gratitude and appreciation for them.

They might not necessarily join the convoy toward Crimson Flame City. Still, nothing needs to be discounted while expressing your gratitude.

"Alright then. Enough dozing around and start getting your things prepared. Those irrelevant people should leave now." she said.

    The lady returned to the upper floor after saying what was on her mind. But even after she left, the lingering fragrance and her silhouette stayed for about a minute. Only after it vanishes that they escape from getting enthralled. Qin Lei looked at Chen Tu for a moment and immediately returned to pack a few belongings. Exactly an hour later, he followed the convoy and left the Blood Refining Grotto. Meanwhile, Chen Tu had nothing to do after sending Qin Lei away. He went to the barn to check on the Crimson-Tailed Pheasants and returned to his room afterward. And the next morning, his time was again fully occupied with work and cultivation. His schedule can be said to be as busy as always. After an entire week of focused meditation, Chen Tu had finally formed another drop of Sun and Moon Essence. With one more getting done this week, he would be qualified to challenge the fourth level. Besides that, the experience he gained from refining the Grain Pellet had steadily improved. A

    "Not good! The ingredient will explode if he tossed everything in altogether!" everyone else panicked except for Tang Yun Long and the elder. But even with their degree of experience, they still find Chen Tu's peculiar pill-refining method unbelievable. After all, pill refinement is an extremely delicate process that requires patience, concentration, and part of luck. Even the wildest and most confident alchemist out there wouldn't be seen as barbaric as the current Chen Tu. To their surprise, the cauldron didn't explode. Furthermore, the charred smell that supposedly comes from burnt Spiritual Herbs also didn't appear. This made them question if Chen Tu really fired the cauldron enough. But then, a delicious aroma resembling the sweetness of a freshly steamed bun came into their nose. The sweetness from the grains, beans, and yam makes their stomach growl. And unconsciously, these few people swallowed saliva and created a soft noise. "Teacher... What..." "Shh..." Ting Wei and X

    The question piqued the elder's interest after Xia Xuan-Xuan opened her mouth. Apparently, even the elder couldn't help but feel curious about Chen Tu's answer. But at the same time, he can't ask this question openly. After all, he was an elder. Someone who stood at least a few levels above them in alchemy and cultivation. Wouldn't it hurt his pride slightly to ask a junior about something he should know better? Luckily, there's a Xia Xuan-Xuan in the group. While her talent is neither good nor bad, she has this social commonsense that could make everything work. Hence, she was the elder's icebreaker, always the first to hear and know everything. Chen Tu didn't respond to Xia Xuan-Xuan's question instantly. Still, everyone here could see that Chen Tu's gaze was currently pointed at the pill mold. This reaction from Chen Tu can be partially translated to "look at the result yourself!" He stayed silent and observed the mold until it was completely cooled. Then, instead of inspecti

    "Disciple understands." Chen Tu cupped his fists together and replied. His response also helps confirm that he will be taking the assignment seriously. "Xiao Tu will start paying more attention to his pill refinement after returning and wouldn't disappoint the teacher's expectation," he added. After saying what he should, Chen Tu excused himself from the workshop by giving a reason he'll have to get back and prepare. And obviously, the eight Grain Pellets were left in the workshop without saying. That's a must in case the elder changes his mind later. And regardless of how he decides, Chen Tu still has to leave a sample for Elder Wei Xuan to check on them, correct? This means a copy of everything from the ingredient, steps, and final product was left for the elder's inspection. Chen Tu's activities consisted of eating, sleeping, cultivating, and refining pills for the following days. Thanks to all these tasks in his hand, he hardly reported to the Spiritual Garden to work or assis

    A day ago. "Hmm... I wonder what insight that brat had for him to rework the Grain Pellet's Recipe until this level..." Elder Wei Xuan said while holding a Two-Star Pill between his two fingers. Apparently, he was studying the pill for flaws before giving a verdict. He was feeling neither prejudiced nor unhappy. But more or less, there was something he was unable to let go of in his heart for making him so indecisive at this moment. As Chen Tu's Alchemy Teacher, the elder naturally wanted to endorse Chen Tu's reworked recipe and the Grain Pellet he refined. But at the same time, his worries and self-ego made him couldn't help but be indecisive in this matter. In fact, this same ego of his was why Tang Yun Long has yet to participate in the Titled Alchemist Examination. It wasn't overrated to say that with Tang Yun Long's performance to date, he could easily pass the test. "Old Wei... What is occupying your mind so much until you didn't notice me coming in?"

    (What an amazing feeling... Could this be something only those in the fourth level would realize?) Chen Tu remained seated, but for every breath he took, the Spiritual Energy of his surroundings was attracted over. His body was like a leaf sponging up all the dew as it absorbed all these blimps of Spiritual Energy to nourish his flesh. This mist-like Spiritual Energy is incomparable to what a Spiritual Replenishing Pill offers. Still, it was something nobody would complain about. After all, no matter how diluted and faint this Spiritual Energy was, they're still the Spiritual Energy everyone pursued. Nobody would cover their water well when it rains because they're afraid it would be overfilled by the rainwater. Apparently, Chen Tu's guess was correct. A feat like this was indeed someone above the Flesh Tempering Stage could enjoy. And thanks to his fully-tempered flesh, Chen Tu is now more than capable of applicating Spiritual Energy to strengthen his physique. Although the diff

The contents were fairly easy for him to understand, and there was nothing to be suspicious about. But when Chen Tu came to the ingredient part, he had the urge to scratch and pull his hair. (Aargh... Now, this is where my first obstacle comes in...) Chen Tu took a few deep breaths after he set the book aside. He had mixed feelings due to what was going on inside his mind. The reason for these confusing thoughts was naturally understandable. After all, this was a lost recipe Qin Lei's father, Qin Tianbao, found from excavating the tomb of a certain expert. Interestingly, this relic site was also where Qin Tianbao had a mishap and lost one of his legs. And no wonder he would be allowed to keep these two

    "junior brother Chen, this Three-Star Pill... Did you refine them by yourself?" Tang Yun Long asked. Even he hadn't had success in refining a pill of this quality. At most, he is only confident in refining Two-Star Pill. Furthermore, this result was before Chen Tu was officially accepted by the elder as his second official disciple. If he was, would he be capable of Four-Star, or even a Five-Star? Of course, that kind of level is nowhere to be heard of... After all, no alchemist would dedicate all their time to researching and refining a four or Five-Star Grain Pellet. Even if that alchemist is the most foolish one, he would likely have zero to little interest in an entry-level pill like this. Looking at the Three-Star Grain Pellet sitting on the table, the elder couldn't calm his heart down. And without further ado, he put his hand out toward Chen Tu and asked for something. "Xiao Tu... Bring the Alchemist Token out." Elder Wei Xuan asked. It appears that what he will be doing

    Next morning. Following Tang Yun Long's suggestion, Chen Tu made his way to the Registration Office after breakfast. And as usual, he waited with the others in the queue until it was his turn. "What can I do for you today, junior?" the worker asked with impatience in his tone. In his opinion, Chen Tu is likely another disciple coming to claim his monthly salary provided by the Blood Refining Grotto. But all his following words were stuck in his throat before he could continue after Chen Tu had his disciple token taken out. "Chen - Chen Tu? You're Chen Tu?" the worker's tone changed into a more polite and easy to the ear. His attitude also had 180 degrees of turnover. Chen Tu didn't reply to him but simply nodded with a smile. And to these workers who looked down on the weak disciples, such treatment was the best venom to reeducate them. The worker immediately changed how he addressed Chen Tu from "Junior" to "Fellow Disciple Chen." And needless to say, this instantaneous change

    "Teacher, really? We're going to attend the examination for the Titled Alchemist this year?" Tang Yun Long couldn't help but feel excited. Naturally, he was very happy with what Elder Wei Xuan had said. After all, Tang Yun Long is turning eighteen this year. And even amongst all the disciples from both elders, his talent in Alchemy was the highest. But regardless of how he requested, Elder Wei Xuan would always reject him when it came to permission to attend the Titled-Alchemist Examination. No matter how much he begged, the elder would deem he was not ready for the test yet. Counting from the year he had been asking until now, it was almost four years past. But today, the sun seems to be rising from the west. Of course, Tang Yun Long realized that the change in Elder Wei Xuan's mind did not come from him but from Chen Tu. Without bathing in this junior brother's brilliance, he might have to wait another year or two before his chances arrive. Obviously, there was a reason for the

    "Good. Very good. Then, you'll be the second official disciple of this old man from this moment onward. I am looking forward on how far you can grow." Elder Wei Xuan appeared very satisfied with Chen Tu's instant reply. This could also show how much Chen Tu had longed for this chance. "Disciple understood!" Chen Tu kneeled and raised a teacup in both hands to the elder. Regardless of the custom, serving a cup of tea to your master is essential. This customary practice not only creates a proper master and disciple but also the connections in between. "En... Those unimportant things will be told to you by Xiao Long later. For now, take this as your gift to study under my tutelage. It was the Pill Formula I promised you last time." the elder said after placing the teacup aside and taking something from nothingness. Apparently, the elder had a piece of Spatial Jade too. And from the look of it, the quality is slightly better than what Tang Yun Long had. "Why don't you take a look at i
