There was a thunderous detonation. The world went suddenly, entirely silent but for a faint, high-pitched whine. The earth shook.

Wind ripped and eddied through the Luo Clans compound, tearing at the people walking about their business and nearly dragging them over from the sheer blast. A cloud of choking dust filled the air, nipping at their lungs and making them cough.

Master! Not again! One man ran like mad through the billowing dust, straight to the source. What used to be a guest room to the side of the compound was now reduced to a crater as its main attraction, with its four walls still somewhat intact.

They didnt last either, as a man crawled out with groan from the rubble, peppered with metal fragments from heaven knew what from the middle of the crater, which was painted a vivid shade of red. It boggled the mind how so much blood could come from one person.

It was a miracle he was still alive, though by the looks of things, not for long.

Why do I always fail? What am I doing it wrong? The man tottered as he fell to his knees, gazing at the prismatic sky with longing, desire, and desperation. Its the third time already! What am I missing?!

Master, please calm down! We must get you some help or you might really die this time and all sacrifice will be for nothing! Yan Fu helped the man up, scrambling for some pills to patch him up for now and get him out of immediate danger.

This is the path of alchemy. As one delves deeper into its secrets, nothing is impossible. Kunpeng spoke with veneration. It is only right that such power comes at a price. He trained his flat gaze on the jerking man on the ground.

With such a commotion, the Luo Clans leadership responded swiftly, soon coming to realize that it was their greatest alchemist once more. The last two times had been mild, in a manner of speaking, a mere shaking of the entire compound the first, followed by a collapse of an entire building the second. But this, this was downright catastrophic.

This was a prime example of what some would go do to reach the Sovereign Stage. Their desire to wielding power beyond their imagination. There was no describing one could do and see at such a level, earning the envy and greed of the rest of the population.

As Yan Song finally finished floundering like a fish on land, he stood up, his cultivation restored to peak Saint Stage after having not only his body butchered from the inside out, but his soul mangled in thousands of pieces barely hanging by a thread.

I couldnt care less about the Sovereign Stage. My gaze has ever been set on alchemy! Nothing is of more importance, nothing! Yan Song declared.

Thats exactly your problem. Kunpeng analyzed. Youre so obsessed with pursuing it that you are unable to see other aspects of the world. They will help you complete your path. You cant only look at alchemy. They say that to become a true expert, you need to pass down all your knowledge to someone completely ignorant in your field. Since you want to give it another go, try reaching your disciple first. Think of it as a trial to teach another of the things youve seen and discovered about alchemy. It will also help you calm down from your suicidal tendencies.

Yes, master! Please show me what you see! I want to learn everything from you! Yan Fu kneeled and banged his head.

Touched by the mans dedication, it stirred his own feelings of admiration for alchemy. I dont know if I can stop, but youll follow me at every step. Together, my disciple, we will achieve the perfect pill!

Luo Yunhai eased a breath, glad there wouldnt be any more destruction around his clan. Which is it this time? Can it be Zhuo Fan?
