High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Noon the next day.

Pingzhou in the northern part of the Great Xia Kingdom, the Ice and Snow Heavenly Cave Defense Line.

A silver-white S-class fighter jet took off from the Pingzhou military base, cutting through the sky and heading south.

There was only one person sitting in the fighter jet.

Lu Chenjun, a confidant of the Ninth Elder and a peak Martial Venerable.

He clutched a spatial ring tightly, which contained some of the Ninth Elder's accumulated wealth over the years.

Five hundred thousand high-grade spirit crystals.

There was also that precious Ice Soul Scrophularia and a bunch of auxiliary medicines.

Lu Chenjun glanced down at the ring on his hand, feeling both nervous and expectant.

Whether the master can break through to the mid-stage of Martial Saint depends on this trip!

......

Longyuan Mountain, the Holy Venerable's Residence.

Chen Yuan had just finished lunch and was sitting in the front yard drinking tea to aid digestion.

Youying lay on the stone table next to her, with a large bowl of spiritual fruits in front of her, her face covered in juice as she ate.

"Sir, someone outside requests an audience," Zhao Wenyuan said respectfully as he approached from the main gate.

"They said they were sent by the Ninth Elder to deliver something."

Chen Yuan nodded: "Let him in."

Zhao Wenyuan responded and turned to leave.

A short while later.

A burly middle-aged man followed Zhao Wenyuan in.

Wearing a full set of standard battle armor from the Dragon Warrior Division, his steps were steady and his aura calm, clearly indicating that he was a veteran who had been through many battles.

Upon approaching Chen Yuan, Lu Chenjun bowed respectfully.

"Chief Chen! Your subordinate, Lu Chenjun, is here to escort you on the journey as ordered by the Ninth Elder."

He took out the spatial ring from his pocket and presented it to Chen Yuan with both hands.

"Here are all the materials for refining the Breakthrough Pill, as well as a reward of 500,000 high-grade spirit crystals. Please accept this, Chief Chen."

Chen Yuan casually flicked his wrist.

The ring flew from Lu Chenjun's hand and landed steadily in his palm.

He then scanned the ring with his mind.

Five hundred thousand high-grade spirit crystals were neatly stacked in the corner, with no less than that.

He did not take inventory.

Given his status as the Ninth Elder, it's impossible for him to be stingy in such matters.

Chen Yuan's focus is on examining the materials.

The Ice Soul Ginseng lay in the center of the ring, pure white, about the size of a palm, shaped like a miniature ginseng, and covered with a thin layer of frost.

Even through the ring, you could feel the biting cold.

"Not bad." Chen Yuan nodded.

"It is indeed a mid-grade ninth-rank item, and the age is sufficient."

He glanced at the auxiliary medicines again.

Eighth-tier top-grade Frost Jade Spirit Mushroom, Ice Heart Lotus, Mystic Ice Fruit...

With his alchemy skills.

These materials are more than enough to refine a mid-grade ninth-rank Breakthrough Pill.

It can even improve the quality.

"The materials are fine." Chen Yuan put the ring away and looked at Zhao Tieshan.

Lu Chenjun breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.

"Chief Chen, I'll head back now. Please inform the master when the pills are ready, and I'll come to collect them then."

He bowed again as he spoke, then turned to leave.

But Chen Yuan suddenly called out to him, "Where are you going? Don't you want the Breakthrough Pill?"

Lu Chenjun paused in his steps.

Turning around, his face was full of confusion, not understanding Chen Yuan's meaning.

"Chief Chen, do you mean...?"

"Wait here." Chen Yuan stretched and stood up from the chair.

"It'll be ready in a minute."

It'll be ready in a minute?

Lu Chenjun thought he had misheard.

Even the most top-tier Saint-level alchemist wouldn't be able to refine a mid-grade ninth-level breakthrough pill in less than a few months, right?

Moreover, the success rate is not necessarily high.

The Ninth Elder had consulted several Saint-level alchemists before, and the fastest quote was three months, and they only guaranteed that the furnace would not explode, not the quality.

Now, Chief Chen says, "It'll be done in a little while?"

Lu Chenjun opened his mouth as if to ask something, but swallowed the words back down.

Forget it.

He did exactly what Director Chen told him to do.

In any case, given Chen Sizhu's status, he wouldn't joke about something like this.

Chen Yuan ignored him.

With a thought, he took out the Saint-level alchemy furnace from before.

Followed by.

Ice Soul Ginseng and various auxiliary medicines flew out of the spatial ring and were neatly arranged around the alchemy furnace.

The rich spiritual energy emanating from the top-grade spiritual vein buried beneath the mansion continuously provides energy to the alchemy furnace.

Lu Chenjun was dumbfounded.

Chen Yuan raised both hands.

"boom!"

The Primordial Sacred Flame surged from his palm and instantly enveloped the alchemy furnace!

The temperature of the flames was astonishingly high.

But surprisingly, the surrounding air did not feel hot at all.

All the heat was precisely controlled around the furnace, with not a single drop leaking out.

Lu Chenjun took a few steps back, his eyes fixed on Chen Yuan's movements.

Although he was a novice in alchemy, he could sense how terrifying Master Chen's techniques were.

The intensity, direction, and temperature of the flames changed rapidly under the control of Master Chen's mind!

The timing, order, and amount of each material added to the alchemy furnace were all precise to the extreme.

The moment the Ice Soul Mystic Ginseng was placed into the furnace, a chilling aura burst forth, but it was immediately suppressed by the Primordial Sacred Fire.

Cold Jade Lingzhi, Ice Heart Lotus, Mysterious Ice Fruit... one auxiliary medicine after another was added.

The alchemy furnace began to vibrate, emitting a low humming sound.

Lu Chenjun's heart was in his throat.

He didn't understand alchemy, but he could feel the energy inside the furnace churning wildly, fusing, and condensing.

It was an extremely complex yet harmonious process, as if an unseen, skillful hand was weaving something within it.

......

Time passed by, second by second.

Lu Chenjun didn't dare to breathe loudly, for fear of disturbing Chen Yuan.

Youying didn't care. She lay on the stone table and continued eating her spiritual fruit, occasionally glancing up before burying her head in it again.

"It'll be soon," Chen Yuan suddenly said, his voice calm.

Lu Chenjun was taken aback.

Only then did they realize that half an hour had passed.

Only half an hour has passed since Chief Chen started refining the pills!

Can one refine a ninth-grade breakthrough pill in half an hour?

If this gets out, all the alchemists on Earth will go crazy!

Just then.

"Buzz!!!"

The alchemy furnace suddenly trembled, and an extremely rich aroma of elixir gushed out from it!

The fragrance of the pill was clear and slightly sweet, instantly filling the entire Holy Venerable's Mansion!

Then it soared straight into the sky.

A column of fragrant clouds, visible to the naked eye, formed above Longyuan Mountain!

Lu Chenjun took a deep breath and felt refreshed, his spiritual energy becoming more active.

Just smelling the fragrance of the pill has this effect, so the pill itself...

He dared not think about it anymore.

"open!"

Chen Yuan gave a soft shout, and the lid of the alchemy furnace flew up.

A pill with pale golden patterns on its surface flew out of the furnace and hovered in mid-air.

He then reached out and scooped up the pill, which landed steadily in his palm.

He looked at it and nodded in satisfaction.

"I'm having a good game today."

He examined the pill in his palm and muttered to himself.

"If Elder Jiu can get one or two more ninth-grade quality auxiliary herbs, I can refine them into top-grade quality."

"But the superior quality is good enough."

Top grade? !

Lu Chenjun's pupils shrank suddenly, and he froze on the spot.

His original expectation was that Chief Chen could refine a low-grade breakthrough pill.

As long as the oven doesn't explode and all the materials I've prepared over the years aren't wasted, I'll be thankful.

After all, those Saint-level alchemists often need several months to complete their work, and they can only guarantee that the furnace won't explode, not the quality.

But now?

Half an hour, just half an hour.

A ninth-grade high-level breakthrough pill was thus refined!

Lu Chenjun took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

But the shock was impossible to suppress.

He finally understood why the master would rather spend 500,000 high-grade spirit crystals to have Master Chen refine pills than go to those saint-level alchemists who offered lower prices.

Although they are all Saint-level, Chief Chen's technique is worlds apart from the others!

"Chief Chen..." Lu Chenjun's voice trembled, "This...this is really a high-grade ninth-rank breakthrough pill?"

Chen Yuan glanced at him and handed him the pill: "See for yourself."

Lu Chenjun carefully took the pills with both hands and held them in his palms.

The warm energy seeped into his body through his skin, causing his spiritual energy to circulate joyfully throughout his body.

It's a top-grade ninth-tier item, there's no mistake!

"Chief Chen..." Lu Chenjun raised his head, his expression revealing excitement.

"On behalf of the Ninth Elder, I thank you!"

He was genuinely happy for the Ninth Elder.

Having followed Elder Jiu for so many years, he knew better than anyone how much Elder Jiu had sacrificed to break through to the mid-stage of Martial Saint.

Now that I have this pill, my chances of breaking through have increased by at least 50%!

Chen Yuan waved his hand: "Alright, stop being so sentimental, let's go back."

"Yes!" Lu Chenjun carefully put it into another spatial ring on his body.

He then turned and strode away.

As he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and looked back.

Chen Yuan had already sat back down in his chair and was leisurely drinking his tea.

It was as if he wasn't the one who had just refined a high-grade ninth-level breakthrough pill.

"Chief Chen refined a top-grade holy pill without consuming any resources at all?!"

Lu Chenjun was filled with mixed emotions.

This Master Chen is not only exceptionally skilled in array formations, but he can even close large-scale sky rifts.

His alchemy skills were also exceptional!

Fast and high quality!

Filled with shock and excitement, Lu Chenjun boarded the return fighter jet, which took off and flew north.

A smile played on his lips as he sat in the cabin.

With this ninth-grade high-level breakthrough pill, the master is guaranteed to break through to the mid-stage of Martial Saint!
