"What did you say?" Sure enough, after Chang Fei finished speaking, Elder Tang stood frozen, asking in an incredulous tone, "Say that again?"

Chang Fei smiled and repeated his words again, then asked, "So, Elder Tang, do you still want to kick me out now?"

Elder Tang’s eyes widened, and after a moment of staring at each other, he narrowed his eyes, speaking doubtingly, "Kid, are you making a fool of me on purpose?"

Chang Fei couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.

Even if Elder Tang had the time, he didn’t have the leisure for this kind of thing.

"Elder Tang, although I didn’t see this with my own eyes, I believe that Xia Tian reported this to me after repeated confirmations."

He recounted in detail what Xia Tian and his companion had said over the phone.

"All top-grade Qi Blood Pills?"

Hearing this, Elder Tang’s face instantly filled with suspicion, "Are you sure they didn’t see it wrong?"

Keep in mind, even in the Awakened Association, it’s hard to produce an entire cauldron of top-grade pills. Unless there’s an extraordinary stroke of luck, but such chances are extremely low. Even refining a hundred or a thousand cauldrons might not yield such a result.

"Elder Tang, I had the same reaction at the time, thinking they must have seen it wrong." Chang Fei nodded, "But then, Xia Tian’s next few words left me stunned."

"What words?"

Elder Tang asked subconsciously, then frowned, slightly annoyed, "Kid, if you have something to say, just say it all at once, don’t keep me in suspense here."

Chang Fei chuckled dryly twice, "Xia Tian and the others, to confirm it wasn’t a coincidence, had that young man named Chen Fan refine two more cauldrons. Guess what, what was the result?"

"What result?"

Elder Tang couldn’t help but get a bit nervous, staring intently at him.

"The next two cauldrons of Qi Blood Pills were also all top-grade."

Chang Fei stated word by word.

"!"

Elder Tang’s pupils shrank suddenly, his breathing instantly quickened.

Once could be described as a coincidence.

But two consecutive times, three times, could only be explained by skill, nothing else.

But is this really reliable?

It should be known, even at the headquarters, including himself, five alchemists had tried to improve the association’s Qi Blood Pill formula.

Some succeeded in raising the probability of a Perfect Realm top-grade Qi Blood Pill from ten percent to around thirty percent, but going higher was almost impossible.

After nearly two years, progress had stagnated.

The rest could only temporarily put the Qi Blood Pill research aside, focusing more on the True Qi Pill.

After all, in these times, high-end combat power is decisive, and Martial Artists at or below the Entry Force level, while not unimportant, are of lower priority in comparison.

Thus, the task naturally fell to him alone.

Over the past few months, he had read extensively and conducted hundreds of experiments, all ending in failure.

But then, Chang Fei came to tell him about a young man in a small city who had improved the pill formula, achieving a one-hundred-percent chance of producing top-grade Qi Blood Pills.

Anyone would find it unbelievable, let alone him.

"Chang Fei,"

Elder Tang spoke up, "Are the two people you sent really reliable?"

"Reliable."

Chang Fei nodded quickly.

There are fewer than ten True Essence Realm Martial Artists at the headquarters, and though he may not know each one intimately, he is familiar with most of them.

"I still don’t believe it."

Elder Tang shook his head.

"Simply mastering this alchemy to the Perfection Realm can exclude ninety percent of people, to say nothing of improving the pill formula. If one in ten can do it, it’s incredible."

If he couldn’t achieve it, could a young upstart?

The key point was a one-hundred-percent probability of top-grade Qi Blood Pills.

Even the Awakened Association didn’t have that capability.

Chang Fei couldn’t help but laugh bitterly, grasping Elder Tang’s skepticism.

But, in public and private, he hoped this was true.

If top-grade Qi Blood Pills could supply other cities, the probability of Meridian Refining Realm Martial Artists appearing in the association could increase by twenty percent.

Don’t underestimate this twenty percent; even if only one True Essence Realm Martial Artist emerged, it would be a huge gain.

Because a True Essence Realm Martial Artist possesses the strength to compete with B-level Awakeners, if they were a chairman, they would be even stronger!

"Elder Tang, what if, what if this is true?"

He smiled and said, "Xia Tian and the others are trustworthy. If they say it, it means it’s likely true.

Of course, it’s indeed perplexing that a young man from Anshan City can achieve this, so I came to pull you along to verify its authenticity; the cost is merely some of your time.

If it turns out false, once Xia Tian and the others return, I will have them apologize to you immediately. But if it’s true, Elder Tang, I fear you yourself would be interested, wouldn’t you?"

Elder Tang was taken aback.

Yes, if something like this existed, he would study it non-stop for days and nights, without eating or sleeping.

"Alright, let’s see if this Chen Fan kid is as amazing as they say."

Chang Fei smiled slightly.

Internally, he couldn’t wait either.

Soon, Xia Tian and his companion at the Anshan City Branch received a message from the headquarters.

"Brother Chen,"

Xia Tian put down his phone, looked at Chen Fan, and sincerely said, "Chairman Chang hopes you can refine another cauldron. He will verify this via video call, and by his side, Elder Tang from the headquarters will also be watching. Brother Chen, please don’t refuse; improving the pill formula is immensely significant for our association and the entire Human Race."

"Yes, Brother Chen."

Ye Ling also earnestly persuaded, "I know it’s a hassle, but please, don’t worry. As long as you perform as usual, the association will not treat you unfairly."

"Brother Chen." Sun Wei, standing by, also signaled with his eyes.

This is a golden opportunity.

Chairman Chang is a big shot in the association, just below the president.

And Elder Tang, though unheard of before, interacting with Chairman Chang meant he was no ordinary person.

Most likely, he’s an Alchemy Master!

If Brother Chen seizes this opportunity, it would be a breakthrough for him.

The Anshan City Branch would also benefit considerably.

Hearing Xia Tian’s words, Chen Fan couldn’t help but feel pressed.

He admitted, much of his action was out of self-interest; after all, he no longer needed the formula, so why not exchange it for some tangible benefits, even a few million contribution points would be worth it.

But in truth, Xia Tian wasn’t wrong; the formula held great significance for the entire Human Race.

This applied not just to Qi Blood Pills, but equally to True Qi Pills, and higher, Gathering Spirit Pills.

He took a deep breath and smiled:

"Elder Xia, no need for formalities. It’s just a small effort. I’m ready anytime."

Xia Tian and Ye Ling exchanged excited glances.

"Immediately, immediately, Brother Chen, you really..." Xia Tian, grateful, couldn’t find the words.

"I’ll get the equipment ready." Sun Wei burst out in a rush.

In less than five minutes, all preparations were complete.

"Chairman Sun, the headquarters is ready, we can start the video call anytime," Xia Tian said, glancing at his phone.

"Everything is set here too."

"Alright then, let’s begin, Brother Chen. No pressure, just perform as usual." Xia Tian reminded.

Soon, two figures appeared on the projector screen.

One was a tall, imposing middle-aged man, and the other was an elderly man with graying temples and a stern look.

They were Chang Fei and Elder Tang from the headquarters.

The two looked at the scene before them and finally focused their gaze on Chen Fan.

Indeed, he was very young.

"Chairman, Elder Tang, this is Brother Chen, Chen Fan."

Xia Tian gestured towards Chen Fan.

"Hmm."

Chang Fei’s face broke into a smile, "Brother Chen, I heard you improved the association’s Qi Blood Pill formula, increasing the top-grade pill’s probability from thirty to one hundred percent, correct?"

Next to him, Elder Tang scrutinized closely.

If the young man on screen was lying, he would know immediately.

Sun Wei couldn’t help but get tense.

This person was a True Essence Realm Martial Artist!

A whole two realms above him!!!

"Yes, Chairman."

Chen Fan’s tone was calm, meeting Chang Fei’s gaze.

Chang Fei showed a hint of surprise, then smiled slightly.

"Good, then refine another cauldron for me to see. By the way, the person next to me is a master of alchemy, capable of refining not just Qi Blood Pills, but also True Qi Pills at his fingertips."

"Alright."

Elder Tang waved impatiently, "Let’s begin then."

Chen Fan glanced at him calmly.

"Yes, Chairman."

"?"

Elder Tang frowned.

Did he just feel, maybe, somewhat, disdained?

At this moment, the whole room’s atmosphere grew tense.

Xia Tian and Ye Ling found their palms unknowingly sweaty.

This time, they staked their reputations; if Chen Fan underperformed, Chairman might be indifferent, but Elder Tang would surely hold a grudge against them.

However, judging by Chen Fan’s earlier conduct, he seemed calm, implying no risk of underperformance.

As long as it matched the previous three times, all would be well.

"Brother Chen, good luck!"

Sun Wei clenched his fist tightly.
