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

"What? You mean to say?"

Upon hearing Zong Ze's words, Lord Turner had not yet fully reacted, but Lu Zhong'en, a master alchemist, stood up instantly. His finger pointing at Zong Ze trembled, and his lips quivered slightly. He opened his mouth for a long time but could not utter a word!

"Yes!"

Zong Ze nodded slightly. In his opinion, advancing to the rank of alchemy grandmaster was not a big deal. According to the "Immortal Derivation Manual", even alchemy grandmasters were only at the basic level. In the Immortal Realm, alchemy grandmasters had no status whatsoever.

"Actually, not long ago, I tried to refine the Punishment-Inducing Pill, but I failed twice in a row because my own power was insufficient. As long as I can break through my current level, I should be able to refine the Punishment-Inducing Pill successfully!"

Zong Ze thought for a moment, and then added, "Moreover, I feel that I should be close to the Avatar Realm in the near future!"

At this moment, Kintner finally understood the meaning behind Zong Ze's words. Although he was not an alchemist, he had heard of the fame of the Punishment-Inducing Pill. Back then, a Punishment-Inducing Pill refined by the master of the Divine Pill Pavilion once stirred up the entire Sacred Word Outer Continent.

It is said that the pill not only fetched a sky-high price of tens of millions of high-grade spirit stones at auction, but also ultimately triggered a bloody war.

Later, someone gathered 30 sets of materials and approached the Divine Pill Master, requesting his help in refining the Punishment-Inducing Pill. After using up all the materials, the Divine Pill Master finally managed to refine another Punishment-Inducing Pill.

At that time, everyone realized that although the Punishment-Guiding Pill was a pill supplied to cultivators at the Great Power level, it was not a typical fourth or fifth-grade pill because of its special function, but rather a grade between fifth and sixth grade.

This level is already at the level of a Grandmaster Alchemist, and only a Grandmaster Alchemist can guarantee a successful refining. The Divine Pill Pavilion Master, being at the peak of the Alchemy Master realm, is able to refine the Punishment-Inducing Pill with an extremely low success rate.

As for the legendary Divine Punishment Pill, the Divine Pill Master also said that it is a genuine sixth-grade pill. Although he can refine it occasionally, the success rate is even lower, perhaps less than one in a thousand!

It was precisely these words from the Divine Pill Master that dispelled the idea of ​​many people wanting him to refine the Punishment-Inducing Pill or the Divine Punishment Pill. After all, the sheer quantity of materials required would be difficult even for a top-tier power to provide.

But what is Zongze saying now?

He can refine the Punishment-Inducing Pill? That means…

"Xiaoze, this matter is extremely important, more serious than you can imagine. I need to confirm now, can you really guarantee that you can reach that level after you advance to the Avatar Realm?"

After a while, Lu Zhongen spoke again, and his address to Zong Ze changed from "Xiao Ze" to "City Lord Turner".

"This one……"

Zong Ze rubbed his nose and finally decided to tell the truth!

"Actually, Elder Lu, Uncle Jin, my skill level has already reached the realm of a Grandmaster Alchemist. However, due to my own limitations, I cannot guarantee the duration of refining a Grade 6 pill by maintaining the pill fire for an extended period. Once I reach the Avatar Realm, I dare not speak of special pills, but I can still refine ordinary Grade 6 pills!"

"Boom!"

Upon hearing Zong Ze's words, Lu Zhongen seemed to have lost his soul, stiffly sitting back on the stone bench, while Jintner, a master of the Breaking Heaven level, sat down on the ground, dumbfounded!

"so horrible!"

This is the only thought on their minds right now. One is a twenty-year-old young man, but he is a peerless alchemy master in the outer continent of Saint Word. If this matter gets out, it will probably cause turmoil throughout the entire outer continent!

"boom!"

After a long, long time, Lu Zhongen slammed his hand on the stone table in front of him: "We can't follow the old rules anymore, Sixth Brother. I think we should let Xiao Ze sit in that position in advance. Putting aside everything else, his alchemy skills are more than enough to make him fit in that position!"

"I also think so!"

Kintner remained seated on the ground, refusing to stand up: "Xiao Ze's alchemy mastery has fully met the requirements. The requirements for the Divine Wrath Realm are for ordinary geniuses, but Xiao Ze is no longer a genius; he's a monster!"

"it is good!"

Lu Zhongen slammed his hand on the stone table again: "As the third high priest of the Dark Temple, I can now vote on behalf of myself and the high priest. Both of my votes are in favor!"

Kintner nodded as well.

“I can speak on behalf of myself and the five priests. My two votes are in favor, and I can also personally guarantee that even if Xiao Ze rejects us, he will not betray us!”

"What? From what you're saying, you have an absurdly high level of trust in Xiao Ze?"

Lu Zhongen frowned. He knew Kintner quite well. Among the six high priests of the Dark Temple in the Supreme Council, Kintner was the most rigorous and cautious. Lu Zhongen had never seen him so confident in vouching for anyone!

"Hehe, I didn't say anything before because I wanted to wait until Xiao Ze reached the Wrath of the Gods before telling everyone, and also to give the Second Priest a surprise. But now that it's on the agenda ahead of schedule, I can't keep it a secret any longer!"

Lu Zhongen, who was he? From Kintner's two sentences, he had already discerned something. At this moment, Lu Zhongen's eyes shone brighter than ever before: "You're not trying to tell me that he and the Second Priest are the same kind of people, are you?"

"Hehe, that's right!"

Kintner replied with a grin, "I've completely confirmed it. Xiao Ze is a Korean. That tree has shown Xiao Ze unprecedented recognition, and even said that Xiao Ze is the real person!"

"What? Why didn't you tell me about something this important sooner?"

Lu Zhongen suddenly reached out and smacked Kintner on the head: "Don't you know how important this is? What can you guarantee if something happens to him?"

"hey-hey!"

Kintner tilted his head slightly, dodging Lu Zhongen's attack. He knew nothing about alchemy, but his cultivation was far superior to Lu Zhongen's. As long as he didn't want to, Lu Zhongen would never be able to touch him, even if he worked himself to death!

"I just didn't tell you, why are you so anxious? Master already knew about this, otherwise why do you think Master would suddenly reappear this time after so many years of dedicated cultivation?"

"Senior brother knows?"

After hearing this, Lu Zhongen stopped pursuing the matter with Kintner, but then he seemed to remember something and suddenly chuckled softly!

"Heh, Kintner, I reckon you're in for a rough time this time. You actually told your senior brother but not the Second Priest about this. I think you'll have a lot to cry about when the Second Priest finds out!"
