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

By this time, Qinglan, who was in charge of room number nine, had already cleaned it up. Since everyone had been blocked at the door of room number nine by Wang Xinling, they turned around and went back to room number nine!

After all, Zong was going to explain the mutated Life-Stabilizing Pill to me, and I couldn't just let him stand in the corridor and explain it to me!

"You all stay outside and keep watch. Xinling, come in with me!"

Lu Zhongen gave instructions to the people protecting him and Wang Xinling. Although he had never said that he would take Wang Xinling as his disciple, he had already accepted her in his heart. He would naturally take Wang Xinling with him when he had such a good learning opportunity!

"Brother Yao, Young Master Xing, could you please wait outside for a moment? I'll be done in a bit!"

Zong Ze gave Yao Bing and Xing Lu an apologetic look.

However, Yaobing and Xinglu were both smart people. They knew that this was a communication between alchemists, and since they were not alchemists, it was best not to get involved!

The two nodded and smiled, and Zong Ze and Han Zhixuan approached Number Nine of the Heavenly Palace again!

The four sat down at the round table. After Qinglan served a pot of tea and left the room, Lu Zhongen asked impatiently, "May I ask, young friend Zong, have you reached that level?"

Zong Ze knew what Lu Zhongen was talking about, and he nodded: "I only barely entered that realm by chance!"

Upon hearing Zong Ze's words, Lu Zhong'en suddenly stood up, took a step back, and bowed deeply to Zong Ze: "Alchemist Lu Zhong'en greets Master Zong Ze!"

"Grandmaster?"

Seeing her teacher's actions, Wang Xinling was completely dumbfounded. What was going on? This little guy she had always looked down on was actually a master alchemist? Had the world collapsed?

Wang Xinling couldn't believe what she was seeing, but she had followed Lu Zhongen for many years and knew that her teacher was not someone who spoke without reason. Since her teacher did this, it could only mean one thing!

The young man before me is truly a master alchemist!

"Sir, there's no need for that. I've only gained this reputation by chance. When it comes to real alchemy experience, I'm nowhere near as good as you!"

Zong Ze wasn't being modest; he was telling the truth. You have to understand that Lu Zhongen has a thousand years of experience in alchemy.

A thousand years! Even if Zongze added up all the time from his previous life, it would only amount to half of that person's lifespan.

Seeing that Lu Zhongen seemed to want to say something more, Zong Ze quickly said, "Old sir, please sit down first. Let's resolve the matter of your Life-Saving Pill first!"

Hearing Zong Ze say this, Lu Zhongen sat down. For an alchemist, the pursuit of knowledge is more important than anything else!

"As an auxiliary ingredient in the Body Establishment Pill, the most important ones are actually the Forget-Form Flower and the Straight Root Leaf. To put it simply, the Body Establishment Pill's function is to further solidify the cultivation realm of a peak-level cultivator, preparing them for a breakthrough in their realm in the best possible condition. And the Forget-Form Flower's effects..."

Zongze began his explanation, and as he did so, he dipped his hand in tea and began writing on the table.

The refining principle of the mutated life-sustaining pill is not difficult. Soon, with Lu Zhongen and Wang Xinling nodding frequently, Zong Ze had finished explaining the pharmacological process. At this moment, Zong Ze changed the topic!

"In fact, breaking through from the Avatar Realm to the Great Power Realm is nothing more than adding one's own soul to the avatar that originally had little intelligence, making the avatar an entity with analytical abilities."

However, this act of adding a soul is tantamount to tearing a part of the original soul. If the tearing fails, the advancement will fail; if the tearing succeeds, it will be a process of destruction and rebirth. Therefore…”

At this point, Zong Ze suddenly stopped speaking, looking at Lu Zhongen with a smile, while Wang Xinling, standing beside him, subconsciously asked, "So what?"

Zong Ze put a finger to his lips to signal for silence, then gestured to Lu Zhongen.

Wang Xinling was still engrossed in Zong Ze's explanation when she saw Zong Ze's gesture and realized that her teacher had closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something, muttering softly. Wang Xinling listened carefully and realized that what her teacher was repeating was the four words Zong Ze had just said: "Destruction precedes construction."

As expected of a top-notch alchemist, Lu Zhongen suddenly opened his eyes after only a short while, his eyes revealing excitement and wisdom!

He placed his finger on the water stains where Zong Ze had written the alchemy process on the table, which was not yet completely dry. Wang Xinling knew that was the spot her teacher had pointed out earlier!

"Therefore, as long as I reverse the order of the Forget-Me-Not Flower and the Straight Root Leaf, and then add the sap of the Guardian Tree or other herbs that protect the soul or the divine sea between them, then it will be the true Undying Pill!"

After hearing Lu Zhongen's words, Zong Ze smiled, stood up, took a step back, and bowed to Lu Zhongen in the same manner as before: "This junior scholar, Zong Ze, greets Master Lu Zhongen!"

Indeed, after Lu Zhongen uttered those words, he truly advanced to the realm of alchemy master, becoming the second alchemy master in the entire Sacred Language Outer Continent!

Of course, if we include the hidden Zongze, Lu Zhongen would be third!

"Lu Zhongen thanks Master Zongze!"

This time, Lu Zhongen did not object to others calling him a master, but he was truly grateful to Zong Ze!

Although Lu Zhongen was confident that he could become a master alchemist in no time if he explored on his own, he himself was not sure exactly how long that would be!

However, today, Zong Ze's simple words directly shattered Lu Zhongen's bottleneck from alchemist to alchemy master, allowing Lu Zhongen to advance directly. How could he not be grateful for Zong Ze's help?

"Hehe, Master Lu, there's no need for such formality. We are both alchemists, and we naturally know that for us alchemists, virtue comes first and it's our nature. If we're too polite, we'll lose sight of our true selves!"

Just as the two were politely deferring to each other, a commotion suddenly broke out outside, and there seemed to be the sound of a slight argument!

"Ding Ding!"

Lu Zhongen picked up the bell on the table and shook it lightly. Qinglan walked in and, before anyone could ask, said directly, "Excuse me, it was people from the City Lord's Mansion who came just now. They want to verify this young master's identity!"

At this point, Qinglan glanced at Zongze: "They said that Young Master Leng Duanshan applied for the Blood Battle Arena at the City Lord's Mansion and received approval. However, it seems that Young Master Leng doesn't know the young master's identity. He only knows that the young master came to my Wangyue Tower with Young Master Yao and Young Master Xing. Therefore, the City Lord's Mansion sent people to confirm this matter and want to ask the young master whether he will accept the challenge!"
