Seeing how effortlessly Chen Xuan extracted the medicinal essence from the Seven-Fold Hidden Herb Pagoda, all the masters present were struck with disbelief. They all knew the potency of Master Gu Yun’s pagoda; even alchemy masters with extremely high proficiency in fire control would find it difficult to extract everything, and even if they succeeded, it would take at least a day.
Chen Xuan, however, had done it in an incredibly short time. Furthermore, his control over the Desolate Wanderer Qilin Flame—a top-tier wondrous fire ranked highly in the Mountain and Sea Realm—was nothing short of masterful. This was a level of control that, at the very least, would require a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator who had mastered great fire-elemental divine abilities.
For a moment, all seven alchemy masters present, including Gu Yun, who had intentionally made things difficult for Chen Xuan, felt their faces burning with embarrassment. That a layman like Chen Xuan possessed fire control skills far superior to theirs—experts who had been practicing alchemy for centuries—was a blatant slap in the face. Realizing that Chen Xuan’s technique likely came from Gu Chenxiao, Gu Yun felt even more ashamed. He had mocked Gu Chenxiao’s alchemy level earlier, yet now he was being outclassed by his disciple. It was utterly humiliating.
