Martial Cultivators, Martial Masters, Martial Grandmasters, and the peak of Martial Grandmasters all focused on tempering their bodies. No matter how strong they were, the only difference was the amount of True Yuan in their bodies.
If a Martial Master's True Yuan was a small stream, then a Martial Grandmaster was a large river.
Although there was a difference between the two, there were other ways to make up for it.
For example, although Qin Yichen was only at the peak of the Martial Mentor Realm and had not stepped into the Great Martial Mentor Realm, with his body that had been tempered by the Millennium Spiritual Rhizome, he could defeat an ordinary Great Martial Mentor.
However, the difference between the Martial Grandmaster and the Spiritual Realm wasn't only in terms of quantity, but also in terms of quality.
It was the sublimation of one's True Spirit!
And right now, the person standing in front of Qin Yichen was such a powerful Spiritual Realm expert.
This was something that even he hadn't expected.
The Zhou Clan of Monarch City was only able to squeeze into the Four Great Clans because of Heavenly Blade Zhou Xiaocang.
However, Heavenly Blade had gone missing sixty years ago and no one knew where he was. As time passed, Heavenly Blade had long been forgotten. Apart from the experts of the older generation, no one remembered him.
Speaking of which, the Zhou Clan of Monarch City didn't seem to have it easy because of Zhou Xiaocang's disappearance.
Without their pillar of support, the Zhou Clan didn't have the strength to contend with the other three Great Clans. This was also why there was only the Three Heroes of Celestial Qilin and no fourth hero.
If the other three Great Clans weren't afraid of Heavenly Blade, the Zhou Clan would have long been removed from the Four Great Clans.
He didn't expect that Qin Yichen would encounter it by accident. This kind of dramatic thing really made him a little stunned.
"I didn't think that a kid like you would have heard of me."
Zhou Xiaocang was clearly surprised when he saw the change in Qin Yichen's expression. He couldn't help but ask, "Kid, which clan are you from?"
"Uh … My surname is Qin Yichen."
Qin Yichen rubbed his nose.
Speaking of which, he had never heard his parents mention his grandparents or his family. Therefore, he didn't know much about his parents.
Now that Xiaocang asked, Qin Yichen finally noticed.
Perhaps he would have to ask his parents when he returned.
"Qin?"
Xiao Cang frowned and thought hard for a long time before he muttered, "Impossible. If it was a small family with no reputation, how could it nurture such an outstanding disciple …"
Qin Yichen's knowledge, courage, and insight made him secretly praise him. This kind of person could not be nurtured by an ordinary family.
"Senior Sky Blade, your name shakes Tianlin. Why do you live in seclusion here?"
Qin Yichen seemed to have thought of something as he narrowed his eyes. "Could it be that senior has offended someone?"
"Hehe."
Zhou Xiaocang smiled bitterly.
He was indeed the number one expert in the Celestial Qilin Kingdom, but he wasn't the number one expert in the world.
In the outside world, experts were as common as clouds. Of course, there were also existences that he could not afford to offend.
He sighed and closed his eyes. There seemed to be a flash of pain in his eyes. He remained silent. Obviously, he didn't want to say anything.
Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Qin Yichen didn't continue asking. Instead, he said directly, "It's not impossible for me to help you remove the burning poison in your body, but …"
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaocang's eyes flashed with surprise. However, when he heard the word 'but', he frowned and asked anxiously, "But what?"
Actually, he wasn't much weaker than that person back then. However, that person was an elemental martial artist and had an innate advantage. Although both sides were injured, he had been troubled by the burning poison for almost a hundred years.
"To remove the burning poison in your body, I only need to refine a Clear Mind Pill. However, with my current strength, I don't have absolute confidence that I can refine it successfully."
Based on Zhou Xiaocang's situation, he would need to refine a Level 3 Clear Mind Pill to remove the burning poison in his body. However, Qin Yichen's current strength was limited to refining a Level 2 Clear Mind Pill even with the restored furnace. It was unrealistic for him to refine a Level 3 Clear Mind Pill.
Unless his mental strength reached the level of a Martial Grandmaster, he might be able to give it a try.
When he heard Qin Yichen's words, Zhou Xiaocang was slightly disappointed. His face turned gloomy.
"Although I can't refine a Clear Mind Pill now, I can still refine some pills that can suppress the burning poison."
When he saw Zhou Xiaocang's hopeless expression, Qin Yichen didn't waste any more time and listed out the names of the ingredients. "Three stalks of Clear River Grass, four ounces of Sunflower Water Vine, and a half-ripe White Cloud Berry …"
Zhou Xiaocang was stunned at first, but he quickly memorized the list. Then, he disappeared in a puff of smoke.
It was obvious that he had gone to look for the ingredients.
These weren't precious ingredients. They were just herbs that could calm one's heart. Qin Yichen believed that Zhou Xiaocang must have used them before.
After all, the Burning Poison in his body also needed these medicinal herbs that could calm the heart and lower the heat to suppress it.
Qin Yichen sat there leisurely. After waiting for a while, Zhou Xiaocang returned to him. This time, he was holding something in his hand.
"It's barely passable."
Qin Yichen casually selected the ingredients and took out a small pill furnace from his bag. Then, under Zhou Xiaocang's puzzled gaze, he threw the ingredients into the furnace one by one.
Zhou Xiaocang frowned as he watched.
What the hell was this?
Although he wasn't an alchemist, he had seen many master alchemists refine pills. It was a very serious matter. However, the guy in front of him was doing it so casually. It could be said that he was … messing around.
Then, what the hell was with such a small pill furnace?
It was so ordinary that it looked like a piece of junk that was picked up from the garbage.
Could that broken jar really be used to refine pills?
Zhou Xiaocang had a headache.
However, since Qin Yichen didn't use any precious ingredients, he opened his mouth a few times but didn't stop him in the end.
"Refine!"
Following Qin Yichen's shout, his entire aura underwent some subtle changes, and it was these subtle changes that caused Zhou Xiaocang's heart to tremble.
He felt that the person in front of him was no longer a teenager, but an experienced master alchemist!
However, before he could realize anything, Qin Yichen shouted again. "Condense!"
"Bang!"
A pill broke out of the furnace. Zhou Xiaocang reached out and caught the pill.
He hadn't consumed it yet. Just the smell of the pill made him feel as if he had inhaled a cold stream of air. It made him feel refreshed. The burning poison that was wreaking havoc in his body seemed to have met its natural enemy and started to run away.
Without any hesitation, Zhou Xiaocang swallowed the pill and closed his eyes.
