"Have you heard?"
"What have I heard?"
"Ah, how could you not know about such a big event! You know about Qin Rufan, the World’s No. One Alchemist, right?"
As Shi Feng led his white horse through Demon Beast City, he overheard the conversation between two people and suddenly his body stiffened. Qin Rufan, known as the World’s No. One Alchemist, was indeed one of his disciples.
"Qin Rufan, of course I know. One of the seven disciples of Emperor Nine Nether from the old days, who doesn’t know him on Tianheng Continent. Judging by your expression, could it be that Master Qin has co to our Demon Beast City?" the man suddenly beca excited and shouted.
The seven disciples of Emperor Nine Nether were all characters who commanded respect across the Tianheng Continent; everyone wanted to witness their elegance.
"If I could catch a glimpse of Master Qin, I would die with no regrets in this life!" the man who had just shouted continued excitedly.
Pharmacists, too, were considered a special profession on Tianheng Continent. Many people who didn’t understand this profession would associate them with Alchemy Masters, who practiced alchemy.
In fact, on Tianheng Continent, nearly all pharmacists aspired to beco the esteed Alchemy Masters. However, becoming an Alchemy Master without the talent for alchemy was extrely difficult, leaving that field out of reach for many. Whoever managed to comprehend the art of alchemy and beco an Alchemy Master was considered one in ten thousand, a genius. This rarity also contributed to the esteed status of Alchemy Masters.
In Moon City, for instance, with a population of over a hundred thousand, only three individuals had truly entered the field of alchemy and had beco First-stage Alchemy Masters, which demonstrated the difficulty of the path of alchemy.
On Tianheng Continent, every pharmacist once held a common identity—apprentices to Alchemy Masters. Every pharmacist strove to beco the honored Alchemy Master.
However, apprentices were only apprentices. They could only prepare dicines but could not, like true Alchemy Masters, use the miraculous thods of alchemy to create magical pills. Without entering the real domain of alchemy, they would always be worlds apart.
But several decades ago, a genius pharmacist erged and, with his unique and magical refining skills, shattered conventional wisdom.
He let people know, "Pharmacists can also create dicines that are not inferior to pills!"
Those who heard this statent at the ti took it as a joke. However, that genius pharmacist proved with his deeds to all on the continent that pharmacists can truly create dicines that are not inferior to pills.
Using his talent for creating dicines, he steadily climbed to the peak of pharmacists. To this day, a legendary battle from twenty years ago in Heavenly Desolation City is still talked about on Tianheng Continent, where the genius pharmacist had a showdown with the Saint-Grade Eighth-stage Alchemist Zhuang Bifan.
Those fortunate enough to witness that battle rember to this day that the two of them used the sa Eighth-grade precious materials and different thods to refine dicines and pills that could enhance Martial Arts Cultivation.
As a result, the Saint-Grade Alchemist Zhuang Bifan, through the art of alchemy, created the Eight-Transformation Golden Pill Dragon Essence Pill. With an elegant fragrance and refreshing to the senses, consuming this pill could allow a Martial Saint at Great Perfection to directly break through their limits and advance to a Two-star Martial Saint.
As one progresses in Martial Arts, advancents beco slower over ti. The ability to help a Martial Saint at Great Perfection to directly break through their limits was a miracle that only Saint-Grade Pills refined by a Saint-Grade Alchemist could achieve. Master Zhuang Bifan truly lived up to his reputation.
While everyone’s attention was imrsed in the Dragon Essence Pill, the genius pharmacist produced a drop of colorless, tasteless liquid, like dew. Imdiately, the venue was filled with a chorus of sighs.
As if at that mont, the winner and loser were already determined.
But Saint-Grade Alchemist Zhuang Bifan was shocked to his core at that mont. While others failed to notice the significance of that drop of liquid dicine, he sensed its extraordinary nature. Eventually, people saw the esteed Saint-Grade Alchemist Zhuang Bifan shake his head, sigh, and respectfully confess to that young man, "I have lost!"
Imdiately after, the entire place was in an uproar!
Master Zhuang Bifan personally confird that this liquid dicine could allow soone who had just broken through from Martial Venerable to Martial Saint to directly step into the realm of a Two-star Martial Saint. Once this statent was made, the uproar intensified.
Later, people ca to know that this young prodigy Pharmacist was none other than Qin Rufan, the junior disciple of Leng Aoyue, City Lord of Heavenly Desolation City, and one of the disciples of Emperor Nine Nether.
Following this battle, the na of Qin Rufan, the World’s No. One Alchemist, echoed through the entire Tianheng Continent.
Shi Feng’s thoughts returned to that night, decades ago.
In the midst of a raging storm, a frail body knelt before him, shivering violently in the rain.
Heavenly Thunder bood, purple Thunder Light flashed, yet it illuminated a young, earnest, and determined face: "Take in, I want to beco your disciple!" the boy said to him, cutting to the heart of the matter.
"Oh?" Emperor Nine Nether let out a laugh full of aning and asked, "Why do you wish to beco my disciple?"
"I want to beco an Alchemy Master, just like your disciple Xiao Tianyi, respected and admired by all," the boy’s body still trembled in the raging storm, but his youthful face remained stubborn and resolute.
"If you want to beco an Alchemy Master, shouldn’t you take an Alchemy Master as your ntor?" Emperor Nine Nether remarked.
"But... but..." the boy started, his resolute face wavering slightly as he bowed his head deeply, fists clenched, his body shaking even more violently: "They... they say I have no talent for Alchemy, that I can never beco a respected and great Alchemy Master!"
His voice was sobbing, and Emperor Nine Nether could hear that the young boy, who had a face of determination just monts ago, had lowered his head and was crying.
"Alas!" Emperor Nine Nether sighed deeply, looking at the bowed head of the boy, and told him, "A Pharmacist can also refine dicines that are not inferior to Pills!"
A Pharmacist can also refine dicines that are not inferior to Pills!
"Boom!" That simple phrase, like a clap of thunder in the night sky, exploded in the boy’s mind.
That statent beca the belief of that frail boy with a resolved face from years ago.
Nobody could have imagined that the small Pharmacist once looked down upon by others would beco the World’s No. One Alchemist, revered by millions.
The three words "Qin Rufan" were not only a na but also represented a legend, a myth. The Pharmacists who were once disdained saw a new path forged by the ergence of the World’s No. One Alchemist Qin Rufan, bringing them light and hope. Now every Pharmacist could stand tall and proudly declare, "I am a Pharmacist! I will beco a great and respected Great Alchemist like Master Qin Rufan, revered by millions."
Ti returned to the present, and Shi Feng paused as he overheard two young n on the street speaking about his forr disciple.
"From the looks of it, has Master Qin co to our Demon Beast City?" one of the youths suddenly beca excited, shouting to his companion on the street, imdiately drawing the attention of many passersby.
At this mont, a passerby also stopped, seemingly surprised by the news the youth had blurted out, and with a face full of disdain, walked over and said to the young man, "What status does Master Qin Rufan hold? How could he possibly grace a small city like ours with his presence? The one who has co to our Demon Beast City is ’Moon’ from the ’Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon,’ one of the four great disciples of Master Qin Rufan!"
