If Heaven hadn't given birth to me, I would be arrogant.

This middle-aged man is none other than Master Lu, who refined the Breakthrough Pill. He is nearly a thousand years old and his strength is at the peak of the Great Power realm.

To be honest, Master Lu didn't have any talent for cultivation. It was only when he was forty years old that he accidentally obtained a youth-preserving pill, which allowed him to maintain his appearance at around forty years old.

It was the Youth Preservation Pill he obtained that year that led him into the world of alchemy. At the same time, he received the inheritance of a deceased top alchemist.

Later, he also became an alchemist. Although he did not reach the level of a master, alchemists were still very rare in Chaotic City.

Therefore, with his alchemy skills, he thrived in the Chaotic City.

Although he successfully refined the Breaking Body Pill, he was unwilling to call himself a master because he knew that he had succeeded by chance and that he might not be able to refine it again if given the same materials.

However, he believed that given time, he would eventually become a true master. This breakthrough pill had already opened a crack in the door to becoming a master for him.

Lu Zhongen is a self-disciplined person; otherwise, he would not have had the opportunity to inherit the skills of a top alchemist. He knows that there are always people more capable than you.

If anyone were to surpass him in alchemy skills, he would treat them with utmost respect.

However, in this chaotic city, Lu Zhongen had never met anyone more skilled in alchemy than himself.

Han Ju of Shen Dan Lou actually has a very good relationship with Lu Zhong En. As Shen Dan Lou's stronghold in Chaos City, most people know Han Ju's identity. It is precisely because of Shen Dan Lou's special status that Dan Lu can operate smoothly in Chaos City.

The same applies to Fu Yanhong of the Treasure Pavilion.

After becoming an alchemist, Lu Zhongen found Han Ju, and the two often exchanged ideas on alchemy!

Although Lu Zhongen's cultivation level was low, he did possess exceptionally high talent in alchemy, while Han Ju, despite his high cultivation level, couldn't match Lu Zhongen's talent in alchemy.

At first, Han Ju could still compete with Lu Zhongen in alchemy, but soon Lu Zhongen's alchemy skills surpassed Han Ju's, something Lu Zhongen was quite proud of.

However, despite Han Ju's alchemy skills being inferior to Lu Zhongen's, Lu Zhongen did not look down on Han Ju because of this.

First, although Lu Zhongen had a master, his mentor had died long ago. When Lu Zhongen received the inheritance, he also received the last words of the deceased alchemist.

This meant that no matter how much Lu Zhongen studied alchemy, without a master to teach him step by step, he would always remain an amateur.

However, Han Ju was a true graduate of the Divine Pill Pavilion, and many of his alchemy techniques greatly inspired Lu Zhongen.

In fact, Lu Zhongen and Zong Ze were quite similar in this respect. Although Zong Ze's theoretical level was at the level of a grandmaster, in reality, if Han Ju hadn't been there to guide him from the beginning, Zong Ze's alchemy skills would never have improved so quickly.

Secondly, although Lu Zhongen looks young, he is actually a thousand years old, while Han Ju's lifespan is much shorter than Lu Zhongen's. Who can be sure that Han Ju will not surpass him in the future?

Thirdly, and this is Lu Zhongen's biggest worry, is that he truly has no talent for cultivation. Even his current peak level as a powerful being was actually built up little by little through the use of pills. In terms of actual combat strength, Lu Zhongen is far behind.

Therefore, Lu Zhongen still felt a little envious and respectful of Han Ju, who was also an alchemist, although his skill level was slightly lower than his own, and whose strength was also extremely high!

This time, by chance, he refined the Breakthrough Pill. Originally, Lu Zhongen intended to go to Han Ju first to tell him the good news, because Han Ju had sent a message a few days ago saying that he had good news and asked him to come over.

However, this alchemy was originally intended for a Supreme Elder of the Beileng Sect, and all the materials were provided by him. Unexpectedly, the pill he requested was not successfully made, but instead, a Body-Breaking Pill was produced.

The emergence of the Breaking Body Pill truly brought immense joy to the Supreme Elder of the Bei Leng Sect, for he had witnessed the birth of a master alchemist belonging to the Chaotic Continent.

Therefore, the Supreme Being requested Lu Zhongen to agree to auction off the first Initiation Pill, which would also serve as publicity for Lu Zhongen and announce the birth of Master Lu to everyone!

At first, Lu Zhongen didn't want to show off. He even wanted to find Han Ju to study why he was able to refine the Body-Breaking Pill this time!

However, that Grand Elder actually brought along the Grand Elders from the other two sects. With several people persuading him, Lu Zhongen felt embarrassed and flattered by the Grand Elders, so he finally agreed to the auction.

Originally, Lu Zhongen was sitting in the private box belonging to the Bei Leng Sect, watching the auction. He was still going over the process of refining the pills in his mind. Although the pills were auctioned off, as long as he remembered the process, he could still study it with Han Ju!

But at that moment, Zong Ze's voice reached his ears!

Lu Zhongen admired Han Ju because Han Ju had given him a lot of help when he was practicing alchemy. However, as the most powerful alchemist in Chaotic City, Lu Zhongen also had his own dignity.

Now, Lu Zhongen was naturally displeased to hear someone say they wanted to see his alchemy techniques, speaking as if they were an alchemy master. So he wanted to ask the staff about the person who said that.

As for going to their door, Lu Zhongen really didn't think that way. As a powerful cultivator, he had always felt inferior about his strength. No matter what, Room No. 9 of the Heavenly Class represented a sect-level power. Lu Zhongen wasn't that stupid!

However, even sect-level forces need the help of alchemists. Lu Zhongen just wanted to know which sect said such a thing, so that when that sect asks him to refine pills in the future, he can refuse if he can!

"Don't you have skilled alchemists? Can't you tell an alchemist's technique and skill from a 'Breakthrough Pill'? Why do you need me, an alchemist?"

This is Lu Zhongen's opinion!

Soon, the woman who had just left accompanied a man into No. 6, Tianzi!

"Old Lu, Xiaoyan just told me that you want to know who said those words?"

The man bowed to Lu Zhongen and said, "Originally, this was a secret of my Wangyue Tower, but Elder Lu is no ordinary person. It doesn't matter if I tell Elder Lu. Room number nine is the room of the Beicheng Medicine Sect!"

"The Medicine Sect?"

Lu Zhongen stood up. The Medicine Sect guards the Valley of Medicine, and there are some alchemists in the sect. Could it be that a master has really emerged?
