[Adapted from original work of "Dominator of Martial Gods", The Universe Part I by Ruo Hong Culture]

[Episode 14]

Excuse me,

Mr. Chen Mu, what did you just say?

I meant

a half fire-gathering array

has very weak array fire.

Even if you can split the fire into three,

you can't put them in a pyramid shape.

I didn't hear clearly. What did you said again?

I…

[Was he playing me on purpose?]

Impossible.

You only activated half of the array.

The fire was too weak

to even take shape.

Not to mention fire splitting and overlaying.

You're cheating!

Who said you couldn’t do fire splitting and overlaying

with only half of the array lines activated?

Do you even need someone to tell you that?

This is the common sense every Alchemist has.

What kind of common sense is that, Li Qingfeng?

Let me ask you this.

Do you know how many array lines the

fire-gathering array in front of you has?

I'm not an array master.

How would I know?

I'm gonna make an exception to teach you

free of charge this time.

The array you're looking at is a Grade One array

consisting of 108 array lines.

Normal Alchemists

just need to activate 36 primary array lines

to form stable fire.

By controlling the number of secondary lines,

you'll be able to control the temperature

and form of fire.

This method can save an Alchemist a lot of spiritual power.

For this test, I've totally activated

36 primary array lines and 18 secondary lines,

because under such circumstances

the fire created was quite stable

and very suitable for splitting.

This is why

I only activated half of the array lines.

This is what I call common sense.

Total nonsense.

I've been practicing fire control for so long.

But I never heard of anything like you said.

Masters,

he was just trying to

hide his method of cheating

by saying this nonsense.

Well…

Honestly,

I've never heard of the theory Qin Chen said.

Controlling the temperature and form of fire

by the number of activated array lines?

This

is indeed a fresh concept.

[Even a three-year-old from Dan Tower]

[in the Martial Domain knows this.]

[But the three official Alchemists of this Dan Pavilion]

[haven't heard of it?]

[The Xuan is truly isolated and backward.]

If you don't believe it,

you may try by yourselves.

It worked, like he said!

This fire is dim in color

and low in temperature,

but its structure is quite stable.

Even without control with spiritual power,

it doesn't seem to collapse at all.

How come

we didn't know about this theory before?

Actually, activating 18 secondary array lines

can already save eighty percent

of an alchemist's spiritual power.

Splitting the fire into three is too easy.

I can do five.

Nine.

No way.

Nine?

Piece of cake.

This…

H-How is this possible?

This… Could this be

the legendary Method of Nine-Fire Pagoda?

Master Liu Guang.

Master Liu Guang?

Have I passed the second round?

Pass! Who dare say otherwise?

Well…

Zhao Lingshan,

Wang An,

Li Qingfeng,

and Qin Chen

will take the third round.

Thank you, Master.

The third round is

the refining of Grade One Vital Dan.

Each of you will only have one chance.

Now begin.

Great.

The refining of this Dan isn't difficult.

I must pass this one.

I lost to you in the year-end examination for being careless.

This time's victory is mine.

Has he already started refining?

The refining process is complex and changeable.

You mustn't begin unless

your preliminary preparations

have been perfect.

Although Grade One Vital Dan

is a common Grade One medicine,

its refining process isn't simple at all.

Has Qin Chen become arrogant after passing

the first two rounds?

Reckless. Too reckless.

[I've got plenty of time.]

[With him doing it first,]

[I can watch and study his method.]

What?!

This…

Does Qin Chen think refining is like cooking, huh?

Do you think it'll cook by itself just by throwing

ingredients and condiments in there?

Even if it's like cooking,

adding ingredients and condiments

must be in a certain order.

He's not refining at all.

He's just messing around.

You put so many crude drugs in there.

Careful not to explode the stove!

I thought Qin Chen was a rarest talent.

But he actually knew nothing about alchemy.

The stove may explode any minute.

Everyone be careful!

I smell the scent of medicine!

Could it be…

Masters,

my refining is finished.

Did he finish just like this?

Let me take a look.

This Dan medicine is round and pure white.

It's as flawless as a piece of art.

Mm.

Very smooth.

And no medicine powder stuck on my fingers.

But why is it pure white in color?

Aren't normal Vial Dan slightly cyan?

Could this be the Top Class Vital Dan?

Even if it's you and me,

we can't produce twelve

Top Class Vital Dans in one stove.

This isn't Top Class Vital Dan.

I knew it.

How could this be Top Class Vital Dan?

It must be waste medicine as a result of amateur refining.

It's Premium Class Vital Dan!

-Top tier Premium Class Vital Dan! -What?

Premium Class Vital Dan indeed!

I'm a Grade Two Alchemist.

I've refined over 100 stoves of Grade One Dan medicine,

but I only succeeded once for this.

How…

How…

One hour left before the test ends.

Everyone, please seize time.

Crap.

If not for Qin Chen,

how would I make such a stupid mistake?

I did it.

Congrats.

Thanks!

This Qin Chen

isn't even an alchemy apprentice.

He passed the first time

he took the test.

Princess Lingshan also passed at the first try.

Now look at me…

I've practiced hard for decades.

If I fail again this time,

this will be my last try.

Maybe

I'm really not meant to be an Alchemist.

Six Inferior Class Grade One Vital Dans.

Two waste Dans.

For Wang An's third round,

it's a pass.

I made it!

I finally made it!

I'm an Alchemist now!

Thank you, Masters!

Thank you, Masters!

Alright,

those who passed today

can claim a Grade One Alchemist badge

with your certificate of passing the test.

And you'll be registered in Dan Pavilion.

That's all for today's test.

Thank you, Master Liu Guang.

Qin Chen.

You stay for now.

Qin Chen,

with your peerless talent,

your future is boundless.

Master Liu Guang,

since I've passed the test for Alchemists,

I wonder if I'm qualified

to meet your Pavilion Master?

You want to meet the Pavilion Master?

Our pavilion master is extremely busy.

It's very difficult even for our own Alchemists

to make an appointment.

Is there no other way?

I have something important to discuss with the Pavilion Master.

I'd like to make a deal with your pavilion.

I'm a Grade Two Alchemist in here.

I guess I'm authorized enough

to make this deal with you.

But this deal is extremely important.

I may need the Pavilion Master to do it personally.

You haven't met the Pavilion Master.

You don't know how bad-tempered the Pavilion Master is.

If there's nothing important,

not to mention you, a new Alchemist,

even I will probably

be punished for the disturbance.

If you insist on meeting her,

I can inform her for you.

Okay.

Thanks for informing her of my request,

Master Liu Guang.

Since this is the case,

please go back to Dan Pavilion with us.

Please.

[Dan Pavilion of the Xuan Kingdom]

Pavilion Master,

it's me, Liu Guang.

I've finished testing a new Alchemist today.

He said that he'd like to meet you

to make a deal with us.

It's so important that your decision is needed.

Pavilion Master?

What kind of business a new Alchemist

has to discuss with me?

Liu Guang,

you've worked for long in here.

Why do you disturb me with such trivia?

This person is truly extraordinary.

I've given it much thought.

I think it's best if you meet him.

[Xiao Ya, Dan Pavilion Master] Tell me about him, then.

What's so extraordinary about this one?

The newly admitted Alchemist

is an eighteen-ish young man.

An eighteen-ish young man?

That's quite uncommon.

He got a perfect score in the first round

of the test, the written examination.

For the second round, fire control,

he pulled off the Method of Nine-Fire Pagoda.

For the third round, the refining test,

he straightly produced twelve

Premium Class Grade One Vital Dans.

Interesting.

I'm suddenly not occupied now.

Since he wants to discuss business with me,

let's go then.

I'm curious to see

what this genius

looks like.

[It's a woman?]

-Pavilion Master. -Pavilion Master.

You are the

newly admitted Alchemist who wants to see me?

Qin Chen,

this is our Pavilion Master, Xiao Ya.

Come on, greet her now.

Greetings, Miss Xiao.

What a young hero.

You're a Grade One Alchemist

at such a young age.

I heard that you want to do business with us.

I wonder what exactly it is

that requires me to do personally.

There's no hurry, Miss Xiao.

Why don't you let Master Liu Guang

take out the Grade One Vital Dans I refined

to let you evaluate?

Okay then.

Let's see if the Dan medicine you refined

is as good as what Liu Guang said.

Special Class Dan medicine.

Work of nature.

Flawless in every way.

Miss Xiao,

Would you mind evaluating its efficacy?

It's just Vital Dan.

Are they anything different?

What?

Pavilion Master!

Pavilion Master, what happened to you?

Could there be something wrong with the Dan?

Qin Chen, what did you do to Pavilion Master?

I'm okay.

Miss Xiao,

I think you've felt it, haven't you?

How did you do that?

I just made some improvements

to the refining methods.

I've optimized the ratio of crude drugs too.

How can changing the refining method

increase the efficacy by one fold?

-What? -This…

Same materials,

but with double efficacy?

How is this possible?

You guys

have a taste as well.

Yes.

-Yes. -Yes.

How could there be Vital Dans with such strong efficacy?

The efficacy of one

is more than two common ones.

It it absorbed must faster than common ones.

If this kind of Dan medicine can circulate on the market,

it's enough to disrupt the entire Dan medicine market of the Xuan.

Qin Chen,

are you really planning to

let us operate this kind of Dan medicine?

Tell us your idea.

Dan Pavilion will handle all the crude drugs

and refining costs.

I want fifty percent of the profits.

You don't provide crude drugs

or participate in refining,

but you want fifty percent of the profits?

You call this cooperation?

This is a robbery!

Vital Dans' profits are small.

We provide both materials and labor,

and you want fifty percent profits?

This is really too much.

Your Dan medicine is good,

but Dan Pavilion won't necessarily make too much profit.

Who said there's only

the Grade One Vital Dan in our deal?

What do you mean?

I have an ancient formula

of Grade Two Vital Dan.

I wonder if you're interested.

What did you say?

Here's the formula.

Miss Xiao, you can take a look.

Pavilion Master, is this formula real?

If it is real,

our Dan Pavilion will be rich!

It looks quite authentic.

If this Dan medicine is really as effective as he says,

once it's put into production,

not only the Xuan Kingdom,

but also the entire Vital Dan market of the five northwest kingdoms,

will be seriously impacted.

What?

Have you made up your mind, Miss Xiao?

If you're really not satisfied,

let's not waste each other's time.

Hold on.

If this formula is truly

as great as you said,

I can make this decision.

It's just that

the profit share…

As far as I know,

all the Dan medicine markets of the Xuan

are currently controlled by Dan Pavilion, right?

I think

The Treasure-gathering House must want to

join the party very much.

You should know this very well, Miss Xiao.

And a fifty-fifty partnership brings

considerable profits to you.

Young as you may be,

you know the Dan medicine market so well.

Okay.

I agree.

How clever you are, Miss Xiao.

Aren't you afraid that we'd break the agreement

after we get our hands on the formula?

It's just Grade Two Dan medicine.

Nothing precious.

I believe that

Miss Xiao isn't that type of person.

This formula can disrupt the

Dan medicine market of five kingdoms.

-And this isn't precious? -What…

I was just kidding.

Dan Pavilion

always honors its words.

Our word is our bond.

May we have a pleasant cooperation.

For this cooperation, apart from this formula,

I'd like to let you help me refine a few Dans.

These are the needed crude drugs.

These are all

crude drugs rarely seen on the market.

And they're big in quantity.

They'll be hard to acquire.

When do you need them?

In about ten days.

When you've collected them all,

just send someone to notify me.

Chen Mu.

Yes.

Ouyang Cheng.

Yes.

Prepare all the crude drugs in this formula

and send them to my refinery room.

Yes!

Liu Guang,

check the background of this Qin Chen.

Yes.

Pavilion Master

must have started refining, I presume?

I wonder if this formula is authentic or not.

Let's wait for a while.

For a stove of Grade Two Vital Dans,

we shall see the results in one hour.

Pavilion Master comes out so soon?

Could the formula be fake?

Who said it's fake?

But we've been waiting here for just a while.

How can you finish refining so fast?

See for yourselves.

This…

How could there be such formidable Vital Dans!

Pavilion Master,

I've checked the background of Qin Chen.

He is the grandson of King of Might.

He didn't awaken his bloodline

until only few days ago.

Then he won the Champion of Academy Examination.

He's now a legendary figure in the Capital.

Whoever is behind him

must be extraordinary.

You mean…

You don't really believe that

a young man like him can possess

such a rare ancient formula, do you?

There must be someone behind him.

Do you mean

King of Might?

Powerful as King of Might may be,

he's just so in the Xuan Kingdom.

The one behind him

is absolutely beyond the level of five kingdoms.

The legend goes that

Qin Yuechi, the daughter of King of Might,

defied an imperial edict

and ran away from her family.

Later, she gave birth to a child unmarried.

The man to whom such a woman lost her heart

can't be a simple one.

Now that I think about this,

he's truly something else.

Come on, move it over there.

Chen, why are you home so late?

-If you come back a little later, -Be careful.

I'd ask Chief Zuo to look for you.

Mom,

this is the Capital, after all.

How can anything happen to me?

You were assassinated just yesterday.

Today you've been missing for a whole day.

How can I not worry about you?

They actually sent killers

to assassinate us.

I've written to your grandpa.

I'm not going to

let this go so easily.
