Dong Fengwu gave Chen Shi'an a quick once-over. "I hear you're already a Level Two Alchemist?"
Chen Shi'an nodded. "I was fortunate enough to break through not long ago."

Gao Tianfang looked Chen Shi'an up and down and smiled. "To become a Level Two Alchemist at such a young age-you have a boundless future."
