I'm Done Pretending, I'm Laying My Cards on the Table

Including the immense hype surrounding the Realm-Breaking Pill, a top-grade elixir, when it was first Immortal Pill.

It was True Person Qingyang of the Longevity Hall who publicly claimed that the emergence of this Immortal Pill was the work of an ancient powerful being from Spirit Province.

Although truly important people wouldn't believe it.

But it's enough to fool most people.

Prior to this, Chen Ning's low-profile tactics had always been effective.

In addition, Alchemist are a group of proud and arrogant people.

Something I didn't see with my own eyes.

They won't believe it.

This is why Bai Cangtian's appearance was so unbelievable to them.

This shattered their preconceived notions.

The Daoist Qishan was also a proud and arrogant person.

He held an extremely high position in Cloud Province.

Furthermore, they frequently interact with superpowers.

The title of "Dragon-Seeking Sect" was not enough to make him back down.

Today is a grand gathering of Alchemist.

The rule that only Alchemist Master can participate in the gathering cannot be broken, even by those Dragon-Seeking Sect.

If we really compare...

Behind Medicine King Valley stands the Heavenly Lake Holy Land.

Therefore, the Daoist Qishan was initially somewhat surprised by Chen Ning's identity, but after calming down, he spoke again, "Given Sect Leader Chen's age, he's at most an apprentice Alchemist, right? Could it be that Sect Leader Chen also thinks he can be like that Bai Cangtian, with Alchemist Grandmaster speaking on his behalf?"

After hearing what the Daoist Qishan said...

Those present were once again shocked.

"What? This person is the sect leader of the Dragon-Seeking Sect?"

"My goodness, I didn't look closely before, but now that I see him, he really is as handsome as the rumors say!"

"He's here to attend the Alchemy Gathering, could he also be an Alchemist?"

"No way, no way, could he be like Bai Cangtian, another person who cultivates both alchemy and martial arts?"

A commotion even louder than before suddenly erupted.

If Bai Cangtian's appearance just now had taken them by surprise...

Chen Ning's appearance completely shocked everyone.

After all, Bai Cangtian was just an ordinary person.

But Chen Ning was different; his fame in Central Province and Nine Provinces was that of a household name.

Even though no one has ever seen him.

But from all sorts of rumors I've heard, I know that he's an absolutely ruthless person.

Such a person came to attend the Dan Conference at this time.

The shock it brought was immense.

Even Grandmaster Ge from Medicine King Valley cast his gaze upon them.

True Person Qingyang said angrily, "My life was saved by the sect leader. Sect Leader Chen's alchemy skills far surpass mine."

Even now, he is unsure whether the sect leader will hold back or stop hiding his abilities, so True Person Qingyang did not call him Grandmaster, but only said that he was far superior to him.

Chen Ning didn't want to waste any more time with this old Daoist priest.

He then laughed and said, "I originally thought I could interact with you as an ordinary person, unlike that Bai Cangtian, but I didn't expect to be met with estrangement. Since things have come to this, I'll lay my cards on the table. I'm rather useless. I've been refining pills for over a year, and I'm only an Alchemist Grandmaster. I'm truly ashamed..."

He said those words.

A deathly silence fell over the world.

Including Grandmaster Ge.

Everyone was stunned.

After a while.

Those present gasped in surprise.

"What? Did I hear that right? Another Alchemist Grandmaster?"

"How strange! Alchemist Grandmaster, who is usually a rare sight even once in a thousand years, is now doing it like it's free."

"I never imagined that Sect Leader Chen was also a prodigy who excelled in both alchemy and martial arts!"

"From this perspective, Sect Leader Chen is even more powerful than Bai Cangtian, after all, Sect Leader Chen has a truly impressive record."

The atmosphere was incredibly lively.

Although there were also voices of doubt.

But having learned from Bai Cangtian's example, they became much more restrained.

I'm afraid of being embarrassed on the spot again.

Daoist Qishan was stunned for a moment, then realized that when he said that he was too useless to be Grandmaster, wasn't that a blatant insult?

This is useless.

So who is this Daoist Qishan?

However, it's just that what he said was too absurd.

Even Bai Cangtian comes from the Bai Household Aristocratic Clan, a family of alchemists. He has been exposed to Dao of Alchemy since childhood and has been carefully nurtured by the elders of his clan. In addition, he has talent and more than 20 years of hard work.

Only then did he become Alchemist Grandmaster.

But Chen Ning said he had only been cultivating for a year.

Does he even know what a year means?

"Sect Leader Chen, aren't you afraid of blowing the sky apart?!"

The Daoist Qishan couldn't stop laughing.

Not just him.

The other Alchemist Master from various states all looked at Chen Ning with complicated expressions.

They were initially unaware of why the leader of the Dragon-Seeking Sect had slain so many prodigies.

Now it seems that it was probably because of his sharp tongue that he offended all those arrogant people.

Even.

Grandmaster Ge from Medicine King Valley also twitched his face.

Simply because those words were too shocking.

He became Alchemist Grandmaster within a year.

That's what I meant.

That's truly shocking.

It's unbelievable.

"Sect Leader Chen, forgive my ignorance, but I have never heard of anyone achieving the Grandmaster level in just one year of alchemy. Why not show us your skills in front of Grandmaster Ge and our fellow practitioners?" The Daoist Qishan's voice rang out, making sure everyone present could hear it.

"I didn't expect to see alchemy being refined so soon. I thought I'd have to wait until tomorrow."

"If Sect Leader Chen is truly Alchemist Grandmaster, then coming today has been well worth it."

"Being able to witness Alchemist Grandmaster refining pills is of immense benefit to us."

The crowd was in high spirits.

I thought I would only see Alchemist Master refining pills at the alchemy gathering, but I never expected to have the opportunity to see Alchemist Grandmaster in action today.

I was incredibly excited.

The other Alchemist Master also showed slight signs of alarm.

Among them, Master Meng from the Heaven-Praying Hall couldn't help but recall the fear the Hall Master had felt when he was controlled by Sect Leader Chen. Therefore, he did not question anything, but simply remained an observer.

The other Alchemist Master were all hoping that this Sect Leader Chen would step in to prove himself, or be exposed on the spot.

Just when everyone thought that Sect Leader Chen would definitely agree.

Chen Ning laughed and said, "You want me to refine pills on the spot and I'll do it? Then how about I kill you right now? Would you be willing to die?"

These words were spoken.

Another collective gasp rippled through the crowd.

"Holy crap! As expected of Sect Leader Chen, he's just as rumored—truly formidable!"

People were whispering among themselves.

The Daoist Qishan's face had turned a deep purplish-red.

If it came to a fight, he would be no match for him. It is already extremely difficult for Alchemist to master even one skill, let alone someone like Bai Cangtian who cultivates both alchemy and martial arts—he is simply a prodigy.

Most of the Alchemist Master present were only at the Spirit Martial Realm.

Daoist Qishan immediately looked at the surrounding Alchemist Master and said urgently, "If this Sect Leader Chen refuses to let us verify his work, how can we allow him to participate in the alchemy gathering? Doesn't that break the rules of Medicine King Valley? Fellow Daoists, how can you tolerate him defiling the Dao of Alchemy?"

The Alchemist Master remained silent.

Just when the situation reached a stalemate...

A loud voice rang out. "Alright, we are all fellow practitioners, so let's not be so aggressive. It's unbecoming of Alchemist. As for whether Sect Leader Chen is truly Alchemist Grandmaster, we'll know when the Alchemy Gathering begins tomorrow. In my opinion, it would be better if we all compromised."

A hunched figure walked over from not far away.

Many people looked solemn upon seeing him.

This person was the other one of the two Alchemist Grandmaster from Medicine King Valley.

Grandmaster Mo
