When Ye Xiao heard Grandmaster Wang, he raised his head and said confidently, "Isn't there still four months left before the competition between the five great sects and the Imperial Family. Who knows if I can also become a Martial King Realm martial artist in this period of four months."

"Hahaha, so you are saying that you can become a Martial King Realm expert in just four months of time." Grandmaster Wang laughed.

"Of course, I can. Master, let me tell you. I've cultivated from zero to the Seventh Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm in less than two months of time. So, who can say that I can not become a Martial King Realm martial artist in four months." Ye Xiao said confidently.

"What?"

"You are saying that you have cultivated to the Seventh Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm in less than two months of time." Grandmaster Wang exclaimed in shock.

Who can not be shocked after hearing something like this.

"Yes, it is absolutely true." Ye Xiao replied in proud tone.

"How can it be? If it is true then what about before two months, what were you doing before two months? Does that mean you stepped in the martial way just two months ago? Before two months, you have never cultivated." Grandmaster Wang started asking many questions at once. It showed how shocked he was feeling right now.

Ye Xiao only smiled then he decided to tell Grandmaster Wang about his past. He said, "It is not like I have never cultivated before two months. I started cultivating at the age of nine in a third grade sect called the Silver Moon Sect. I have cultivated for seven years but did not achieve much. But suddenly almost two months ago, I was framed and crippled by a fellow disciple of the sect. Then I was kicked out from the sect."

"After being kicked out from the sect, I was aimlessly walking in the Black Cloud Forest when I suddenly have a lucky encounter and found a treasure. it helped me repair my dantian and I once again successfully stepped on the martial way. But I don't know why, I started cultivating much faster and as you can see, I am already a martial artist at the Seventh Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm. And all of this happen in just less than two months of time.

Ye Xiao told Grandmaster Wang his story. Of course he did not said all truth. He did not said anything about the Heavenly Pearl, he just said that it was a treasure and a treasure could be anything. Maybe a medicinal herb of higher grade which can help one repair their dantian. It could be anything.

During the process of listening the story of Ye Xiao, Grandmaster Wang first felt anger then sad and then he felt astonished. He never thought that Ye Xiao had experienced all of this. Of course he did nit felt anything when he heard Ye Xiao telling him about the treasure that can repair one's dantian as he had seen the world much more than anyone in the Azure Dragon Kingdom. He himself was also a Grandmaster of Alchemy. He knew that there is a lot of medicinal herbs and pills that can help one repair their dantian. Of course, these all things are of very high rank.

His way of thought was maybe Ye Xiao found a fifth or sixth grade medicinal herb which helped him with his problem and even boosted his talent to some degree.. no it should be very terrifying degree.

Grandmaster Wang stared at Ye Xiao for a while and said, "If you have really cultivated from zero to the Seventh Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm in less than two months then maybe you have a chance to cultivate to the Seventh Stage or Eighth Stage of the Origin Core Realm in four months. But if you want to become a Martial King Realm martial artist then according to me, it will be almost impossible."

Ye Xiao did not commented anything this time as he did not wanted to say anything. He understood very well what Grandmaster Wang was thinking and anyone would also think the same way as the Grandmaster Wang. After all they did not know that there is a heaven defying treasure like the Heavenly Pearl. He also has a dragon like Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon inside his sea of consciousness which gave him the ability of devouring. He can devour anything and everything but the condition is that he has to have the required strength to devour.

If he goes in the forest to hunt the magical beast and then devour it, how can it not be possible for him to become a Martial King Realm martial artist in four months. Yes, it is very very difficult but still, it is not impossible.

Grandmaster Wang again said, "Ye Xiao, leave the matter of Martial King Realm aside, if you can cultivate to the Ninth Stage of the Origin Core Realm in these four months, I promise, I will talk to the King and the sect leaders of the five great sects to give you a spot in from those fifteen spots. Then you can go to the Grand Xia Empire with other fourteen disciples to enter the Secret Realm."

"Really?" Ye Xiao felt was surprised when he heard this but he also understood that it was really possible. After all his master is the only Grandmaster of Alchemy in the Azure Dragon Continent. How can the King and the sect leaders of the five great sects not give face to his master.

He immediately felt very happy. He suddenly made a plan to enter into the Cloudsmoke Forest tomorrow.

"Yes, but remember what my condition is. You have to cultivate to the Ninth Stage of the Origin Core Realm." Grandmaster Wang smiled and nodded his head.

"Don't worry master, I will not disappoint you." Ye Xiao nodded in excitement. He then stood up to go but suddenly as if he remembered something, he turned and said, "Master, before the second round of the competition, I tried to refine the Body Tempering Pill. Do you want to take a look?"

"Really? Great. Show it to me." Grandmaster Wang also stood up hurriedly and stretched out his hand in front of Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao waved his hand and a pill bottle appeared in his hand out of thin air. He then placed that pill bottle on Grandmaster Wang's hand.

Grandmaster Wang hurriedly opened the cap of the bottle. The moment he opened the bottle cap, a rich medicinal fragrance spread out in the air.

He was astonished seeing this. He took out a pill from the pill bottle and after looking for a while, he again exclaimed, "90% purity. Oh my god. You have refined a pill for the first time and it is even with the 90% purity. How is this possible."

Ye Xiao also felt surprised at this moment. Previously when he concocted these Body Tempering pills, he did not checked how much purity was there. As there was the second round of the competition next day, he hurriedly refined a total of seventeen sets of Body Tempering Pills. In each sets, he refined four pills so after refining all seventeen sets of Body Tempering Pills medicinal ingredients, he refined a total of 68 pills. After that, he immediately went to rest without even checking those pills as he felt very tired after refining those Body Tempering Pills.

Now that Grandmaster Wang said that these Body Tempering Pills were refined with 90% purity, he felt surprised. But his surprise and Grandmaster Wang's surprise, both were different. Grandmaster Wang never saw a pill that is refined with 90% purity. Even he, a Grandmaster of Alchemy, never refined any pills with 90% purity. Let alone 90% purity, he even never refined a pill with 80% purity. In the world of Alchemy, he saw a pill with highest purity was True Elemental Pill with 80% purity which was refined by an old friend of his.

But the way Ye Xiao felt was very different from the Grandmaster Wang. As the memories of the Ancient Pill God merged with him, his appetite also became quite big. From those memories, he knew that the Ancient Pill God could refine any pill with hundred percent purity. He knew exactly same method of refining pills than why does he refined the Body Tempering Pill with only 90% purity.

He felt that his talent in alchemy is very poor.

From the moment of his birth till his encounter with the Heavenly Pearl, he never saw a pill so he did not knew anything about pills. Now that he directly merged with the memories of the Ancient Pill God, he thought that the pill refining should be easy for him. Now he thought that, his talent was too poor for alchemy.

I will try to improve myself further till I reach the level of Ancient Pill God in refining pills.
