Chapter 79: The Peerless Pill Venerable (7)
Ghost Valley Pill King asked, "What are your plans next, nephew?"
Su Chen replied, "First, I want to defeat you, Martial Uncle. After that, I'll head to Prison-Suppressing Sacred Land."
Ghost Valley Pill King showed no anger—only delighted laughter. "Good. I'll be waiting for that day. Prison-Suppressing Sacred Land is a fine choice. I had even planned to secure you a spot for advanced training at the Central Continent's Pill God Hall. But it seems you already have your own path in mind."
Su Chen nodded. The Pill God Hall was one of the premier alchemy sanctuaries in the Central Continent—technically more prestigious.
Yet Su Chen placed greater faith in Prison-Suppressing Sacred Land. Over the following three years, he remained in the imperial capital to cultivate. Thanks to his status as an alchemist, cultivation resources were never scarce. His realm advanced steadily until he broke through to the Spirit Soul Realm.
At last, Su Chen sought out Ghost Valley Pill King once more.
The older man was not surprised by his arrival. He smiled warmly. "Are you ready?"
Su Chen nodded.
Only one spectator witnessed the contest.
