"This … Elder Duan gave it to me?"
Soon after, Lu Rui's gaze returned to the Spatial Ring in his hand. He realized the 'he' that Feng Tianwu mentioned was their Lu Clan's First Interim Elder, Duan Lingtian.
Lu Rui pricked his finger and dripped a drop of blood to claim ownership of the Spatial Ring before he looked inside.
Ten pill bottles were neatly arranged there.
Opening the pill bottle, he could see many pills inside. These pills were flickering with a faint light. They were all pills that he was very familiar with.
Grade one Life Recovery Pills!
"It seems like Elder Duan is already prepared."
Lu Rui shook his head and smiled before he turned around and left.
In the Northern Mountain Land, above the vast sky, five figures flew across the sky as fast as lightning.
They were five travel-worn people who had come from afar.
Three of them were leading the group while a green-clad middle-aged man and a blue-clad old man followed closely behind two of them as though they were their shadows.
The two old men who were following them were having a conversation.
"Cheng He, it won't take long for you to become a grade one alchemist who can refine pills with a purity of 90% and above."
One of the old men in golden robes said to the other old man in silver robes.
"Although I don't know what method that kid used to refine pills with a purity of 90% and above, I'll still accept your blessing," Cheng He said with a faint smile.
Cheng He smiled faintly as he spoke. In the depths of his gaze, there seemed to be a trace of ferocity and greed mixed within.
"Guild Master Cheng, I'll help you this time … I hope you'll fulfill your promise."
The person standing next to the two old men was also a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man had an ordinary appearance, but his eyes were bright. He was holding a sheathed long saber in his hand.
As he stood there, his entire body seemed to have transformed into an incomparably sharp 'saber'.
At this moment, he was also looking at Cheng He.
"Don't worry, Clan Leader Ou. I, Cheng He, will never go back on my promise!"
Cheng He said solemnly.
"That's good."
The saber-like middle-aged man nodded faintly and did not say anything else.
"Cheng He … You said the target this time, the Lu Clan's grade one alchemist, is a young man who doesn't seem to be more than thirty years old?"
The golden-clad old man asked suddenly.
"Yes."
Cheng He nodded solemnly. "Not only is he a grade one alchemist, but his cultivation base is even more shocking … I guess his strength should be at the Second Level Martial Monarch Stage."
Grade one alchemist!
Lv 2 Martial Royal Realm!
A young man under the age of thirty?
For a time, except for the green-clothed middle-aged man who seemed to have known about it, the other three people's expressions changed.
Even the middle-aged man who stood at the side like a 'blade' was no exception. He was similarly shocked because this was truly inconceivable.
A human martial artist who could become a grade one alchemist before the age of 30 could be considered a monstrous genius who was favored by the heavens.
However, this alchemist was not only a Second Level Martial Monarch Stage martial artist, but he was also a Second Level Martial Monarch Stage martial artist?
"Cheng He, are you sure you're not playing with us?"
The golden-robed old man's face darkened slightly as he looked at Cheng He solemnly.
The other blade-like middle-aged man also looked at Cheng He. His eyes were unusually sharp, as if they had turned into two blades that floated above Cheng He's head, ready to fall at any moment.
"Playing with you?"
Cheng He glanced at the golden-robed old man as though he was looking at an idiot. He said in a slightly speechless manner, "Why would I play with you? Playing with you for no reason? Offending both of you at once? "
Upon hearing Cheng He's words, both the golden-robed old man and the blade-like middle-aged man immediately retracted their sharp gazes.
"I know you think it's a little unbelievable, but it's the truth! You'll find out when we arrive at the Lu Clan tomorrow. "
Cheng He said to the golden-robed old man.
"A grade one alchemist who's not even thirty years old … In the history of Cloud Continent, I've never heard of a demon who became an alchemist or a weapon craftsman!"
"That's why he can only be a human. However, he's also at the Second Level Martial Monarch Stage. This is unbelievable! "
The golden-robed old man muttered to himself as he narrowed his eyes when he heard Cheng He's words.
"No! He might not necessarily be a human. "
The blade-like middle-aged man suddenly seemed to have thought of something and said.
"He might not necessarily be a human?"
Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, not only the two old men next to him, but even the green-clad middle-aged man and the blue-clad old man behind the two old men also turned to look at him.
Their eyes were filled with curiosity. They were curious about the middle-aged man's words.
The middle-aged man was Ou Lie, the Clan Leader of the Northern Mountain's Ou Clan. He was also the strongest powerhouse in the Ou Clan!
The Ou Clan was as famous as the Lu Clan in the Northern Mountain Land. They were both known as weapon craftsmen clans.
However, Ou Lie was not a weapon craftsman.
The reason he could become the Clan Leader of the Ou Clan was due to his powerful strength. He was so powerful that he could crush everyone in the Ou Clan!
Due to this reason, Ou Lie had a supreme position in the Ou Clan.
His authority in the Ou Clan was not something the current Clan Leader of the Lu Clan, Lu Rui, could compare to.
Perhaps, Lu Rui, the Clan Leader, had absolute authority in the Lu Clan on the surface. However, he secretly respected the Former Clan Leader of the Lu Clan, Lu Qiu.
Naturally, Lu Qiu would not appear unless it was necessary. He would never interfere with Lu Rui's management of the Lu Clan.
The reason Lu Qiu had such a position in the Lu Clan was not only because he was the Former Clan Leader, but it was also because he was the strongest powerhouse in the Lu Clan!
For example, the Ou Clan also had a Former Clan Leader. However, the Former Clan Leader was only an ordinary grade two weapon craftsman.
Due to this reason, the position of the Former Clan Leader of the Ou Clan was far inferior to the current Clan Leader, Ou Lie.
"Ou Lie, although you're not a weapon craftsman, you're still from the Ou Clan. Don't tell me you don't know that non-humans can't become alchemists or weapon craftsmen?"
Cheng He asked with a frown on his face.
"That's right. If he's not a human but a demon, it's impossible for him to become an alchemist or a weapon craftsman, let alone a top grade one alchemist."
The golden-clad old man chimed in.
Whether it was the blue-clad old man behind the golden-clad old man or the green-clad middle-aged man behind Cheng He, all of them nodded in agreement.
It was impossible for a demon to become an alchemist or a weapon craftsman.
This was the iron law of the Cloud Continent.
For countless years, no demon had ever broken this iron law.
"I only said that he might not be a human. When did I say he's a demon?"
Ou Lie asked as he glanced at the golden-clad old man indifferently.
"Then, you mean …"
The golden-clad old man was stunned when he heard this.
"Variant!"
Ou Lie spat out two words under the curious gaze of the four people.
Variant!
The moment Ou Lie's words left his mouth, it was as though a bolt of lightning had struck the clear sky. The four people, including Cheng He, were stunned.
Naturally, they were no strangers to the Variant.
The Variant was the product of a human and a demon. It was either trash or a demon.
The latter possessed an unfathomable and unique innate ability.
Moreover, the latter's innate talent in Martial Dao was extremely shocking as well. It far surpassed ordinary humans and demons.
Most importantly, a Variant could also become a Grade One Alchemist or Grade One Weapon Refiner. This was because half of a human's blood flowed in their veins, unlike a pure Demon who could not condense alchemy fire or weapon fire.
"Now that Ou Lie mentioned it, it's possible! He might really be a Variant. "
Cheng He was the first to react after a long while.
Then, he turned around to look at the green-clad middle-aged man who had been following him since the beginning. "Leng Chi, what do you think?"
"It's very possible."
Leng Chi nodded and replied as though he was a man of few words.
"Variant!"
The golden-clad old man and the blue-clad old man behind him were shocked as well.
In the end, the golden-clad old man nodded. "If I'm not mistaken, he should be a Variant! After all, the achievements he achieved at such a young age are not something an ordinary human can achieve. "
The others nodded in agreement.
"It doesn't matter if he's a Variant or not … This time, I'm going to pry the method to refine pills with more than 90% purity out of his mouth."
Cheng He's eyes were filled with greed as he spoke.
"Leng Chi alone is enough to fight that old man Lu Qiu to a draw … As long as Leng Chi holds Lu Qiu back, it'll be easy for the few of us to suppress the other Martial Monarch Stage martial artists in the Lu Clan."
The golden-clad old man said, "Therefore, it won't be difficult to take that Duan Lingtian away. However, Cheng He, you must be mentally prepared. Even if we take him away, he might not tell you the method to refine pills with more than 90% purity. "
"Don't worry about that."
Cheng He said confidently.
"What? You have a plan? "
The golden-clad old man's eyes lit up. "Tell me about it."
"That Duan Lingtian has a woman with extraordinary strength by his side. She seems to be a Demon Monarch powerhouse! Her strength should be at the Second Level Demon Monarch Stage, which is equivalent to a Second Level Martial Monarch Stage martial artist. "
Cheng He said slowly.
"You've already told us about this.
I'm asking you, how are you going to pry open that Duan Lingtian's mouth? "
The golden-clad old man asked again with a frown.
"Naturally, I mentioned that woman because it's related to her."
Cheng He glared at the golden-clad old man before he said slowly, "If that Duan Lingtian doesn't cooperate, I'll torture that woman in front of him until he cooperates."
A wicked smile crept up on the corner of Cheng He's mouth when he reached the end of his sentence.
"You're really … despicable!"
The golden-clad old man looked at Cheng He deeply. "However, how can you be so sure that he'll reveal his secret for that woman? That's not an ordinary secret. "
"You don't know this … That boy is a sentimental person."
