Ye Chen did not know how long he had been cultivating, but he suddenly felt something strange by his side.

It was Wen Shishi.

“Brother Ye… I’m sorry…”

Although it looked like she was trying to hug Ye Chen down, she was in a deep sleep, and everything she did was subconscious.

Her sister, Wen Tingting, who was on the other side, realized what was going on. She said to Wen Shishi, “Sister, don’t disturb Mr. Ye’s cultivation.”

“Mm.” Her response was a mosquito-like sound.

Ye Chen was about to answer when a loud noise was heard outside. He quickly darted over to the window and discovered the source of the loud noise came from Hong Tao’s mansion!

At this moment, the illusory phantom cauldron above the formation was emitting a dazzling red light.

“I’m going out for a while.”

Ye Chen stood up abruptly and ran off.

Hong Tao was the only lead he had to find his master. No matter what phenomenon this was, he had to investigate. It could be related to his master!

When Wen Shishi saw Ye Chen leave, she was filled with regret. It seemed that they had missed their opportunity. Honestly, even without her father’s instructions, she would have been willing to approach Ye Chen. He was her savior, after all.

Outside the hotel.

When Ye Chen came out, he discovered that the corridor was full of people. These people exuded different auras, but the weakest of them was a saint realm cultivator.

They were all looking at the illusory phantom cauldron with fanatical eyes.

“Alchemist Hong actually broke through again! His attainments in the Alchemy Dao probably increased as well!”

“Alchemist Hong? We have to call him Alchemy Master Hong after this breakthrough! After this, his status in the Land of Slaughter will probably rise again.”

“I reckon the Alchemy Alliance is regretting not getting him to stay back then. He has truly reached new heights in alchemy!”

The crowd discussed animatedly, and almost everyone was amazed.

Suddenly, someone said, “I think the one who’s the most upset right now should be the Medical God sect’s Duan Huai An. There are still two days before the alchemy contest. Duan Huai An was already no match for Alchemy Master Hong, but now, it seems like the gap between the two of them has gotten even bigger. It will likely be a total domination.”

“If I were Duan Huai An, I would leave the Land of Slaughter immediately. Losing one’s reputation is better than losing one’s life.”

“Are you kidding me? The entire city is under lockdown now. Do you think that Duan Huai An can still escape? He’s probably wiping his tears in some corner right now, haha! As someone who was destroyed by the Dao Sect back then, where did he find the courage to challenge Alchemy Master Hong? He’s overestimated himself!”

“If I was this kind of trash, I would just kill myself!”

Two cultivators at the peak of the saint realm were insulting Ye Chen’s master with unpleasant words.

Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed and his killing intent erupted. He appeared next to them, and an invisible wave of energy spread out in all directions!

The two of them turned pale and took a few steps back.

“He is my master, and you have no right to insult him! Those who insult him will be killed!”

When these two heard this, their eyes widened in horror. However, before they could speak, two cold gleams shot out! Each one was a silver needle, and the needles pierced each person’s forehead, killing them instantly.

There was no blood, so their bodies simply clattered to the ground with a thud.

No one noticed their deaths. Even if someone saw it, they would have sneered and turned their attention back to Alchemy Master Hong.

This was the Land of Slaughter, and death was commonplace.

After doing all this, Ye Chen went over to an excited young man who was praising Hong Tao. He asked curiously, “You know Hong Tao?”

The young man was stunned and glared at Ye Chen.

“You dare to call Alchemy Master Hong by his name? Are you courting death?”

Just as the young man was about to attack, someone spoke up, “Wang Qi, why are you so angry? Didn’t you notice that he’s only a transcendent realm cultivator? He probably just entered the Land of Slaughter not long ago, so how could he know of Alchemy Master Hong?”

The young man named Wang Qi finally reacted and snorted at Ye Chen. “Brat, I will forgive you for your ignorance, but I’m warning you. In the Land of Slaughter, Alchemy Master Hong is one of those people you cannot insult. Otherwise, you won’t even know how you died!”

“Is this guy very good at alchemy?” Ye Chen asked curiously.

Wang Qi rolled his eyes at Ye Chen and said angrily, “You’re not taking this seriously. Didn’t you see the illusory phantom cauldron in the sky? That is proof of his ability!”

“This time, Alchemy Master Hong’s alchemy skills have probably reached the saint grade.”

Ye Chen was stunned. He had never heard of this grade before, but it seemed to be how the alchemists in the Kunlun Mountains differentiated themselves.

The path of martial arts was divided into realms, and so was the path of alchemy.

Wang Qi rolled his eyes at Ye Chen and said coldly, “It looks like you don’t even know about grades in alchemy. I’ll give you a simple explanation!”

“There are a total of eleven grades when it comes to alchemy in the Kunlun Mountains, namely Mortal Grade, Earth Grade, Heaven Grade, Profound Grade, Spirit Grade, Saint Grade, Saint King Grade, Origin Grade, Origin Origin Grade, and Emperor Grade.”

“Based on the current phenomenon, Alchemy Master Hong’s alchemy grade has definitely reached the saint grade, which means that he is now qualified to refine ancient medicinal pills!”

Ye Chen was enlightened. According to this classification, the pills that Ye Chen could refine now should be around profound or spirit grades.

Back in the Samsara Graveyard, with the help of the Immortal Lord, he had refined the Archaic Illusory Reality Pill, which was likely to be a saint or saint king-grade pill.

It seemed like the gap between him and Hong Tao was huge.
