It took Chen Guan three seconds to comfort Qing Lin. After a quick wash, he was ready to slip away as well.
Everything in Qingshan Town had come to an end. The next time he returned, it would probably be when he had the ability to bring his teacher's Stone Chamber back with him.
He hired a carriage and set off beneath the morning sun.
Other than running into Wang Yan and his Brother, who were returning to Wutan City, the journey was peaceful.
One month later.
Jiama Holy City, Alchemist Guild.
Chen Guan and Fama sat facing each other with their eyes closed. Powerful Spiritual Power streamed from between their brows as they worked together to remove the hidden danger within the Breakthrough Pill.
Although Soul Hall's hidden trick had been concealed well, it was still found under the pair's meticulous inspection. It clung to the inside of the pill like a brand.
With Chen Guan's Spiritual Power and that of Fama, who had just advanced to Sixth Grade Alchemist, the brand was not particularly powerful. Removing it would have been easy, but to do so without damaging the pill, they could only proceed slowly, like archaeologists.
Ever since returning to the Holy City a few days ago, Chen Guan had put this matter on the agenda.
It was rather amusing. When Chen Guan had arrived at the Alchemist Guild that day, Fama had once again been unable to hold back his frustration at Chen Guan's lack of ambition, telling him to speak if he had something to say and get lost if he did not.
Yet when Chen Guan said he had come to seek guidance in alchemy, Fama's attitude made an immediate one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn. His laughter could be heard throughout the first-floor hall.
