Chapter 1916: Chapter 1916: Outside the Ancient Martial Arts World
Upon hearing the words, everyone turned their heads to look at the person who spoke.
They found that the person who spoke was Fu Xiyan.
Elder Lu: "Young Master Fu, what is your opinion?"
Fu Xiyan: "Elder Lu just mentioned that only Alliance Leader Ling and Vice Alliance Leader Ling can refine fifth-grade elixirs, but this statement is too absolute."
Elder Lu frowned upon hearing this, "Then Young Master Fu, please tell us, who else is a fifth-order Alchemist?"
Fu Xiyan’s expression remained unchanged as he continued, "I know more than one Alchemist who is above the fifth-order."
As soon as Fu Xiyan spoke, the scene erupted into chatter.
People began to whisper to each other.
Aside from Alliance Leader Ling and Vice Alliance Leader Ling, they truly hadn’t heard of anyone else capable of refining fifth-grade elixirs.
Fu Xiyan actually knows other fifth-order Alchemists, and not just one.
Elder Lu wasn’t impressed, "Young Master Fu, surely you are counting our Alliance Leader and Vice Alliance Leader among them."
"Certainly not," Fu Xiyan first replied, then asked another question, "Elder Lu, have you ever ventured outside of the Ancient Martial Arts World?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Lu frowned, "Not often."
Besides, what does their current discussion have to do with whether he’s been outside the Ancient Martial Arts World or not?
"Elder Lu, you don’t understand the outside world," Fu Xiyan said, looking at everyone, "How much do you all know about the Secular World?"
He didn’t wait for an answer because Fu Xiyan continued speaking on his own, "Do any of you truly think the Secular World only has ordinary people, without a single cultivator?"
Fu Xiyan’s words plunged the crowd into silence.
Although they didn’t believe the outside world was entirely full of ordinary people, they thought at least the majority were.
Fu Xiyan: "In the Secular World, there’s a divine healer named Yue Ying, some of you must have heard of her."
"She is a fifth-order Alchemist."
Gu Xiyue was originally a peak fourth-order Alchemist, and with Gu Zhiqi’s guidance, she had already stepped into the fifth-order long ago.
By mentioning Yue Ying instead of Gu Xiyue’s name, he was indirectly protecting Gu Xiyue from being targeted.
The moment Fu Xiyan spoke, the crowd instantly became noisy.
"Yue Ying? I’ve heard of her, the divine healer from the web."
"I didn’t expect her to be able to perform alchemy, and that she’s already at the fifth-order."
"That can’t be true, how could someone from the Secular World be a fifth-order Alchemist?"
...
There were mixed opinions, some were amazed, while others didn’t believe.
While the crowd continued to debate in hushed tones, Fu Xiyan spoke again, "Have you all heard of Central Continent City?"
As soon as Fu Xiyan spoke, the crowd fell silent for a moment, then a few voices responded, "Yes, we’ve heard of it."
Then, more and more people began to speak.
Evidently, most people knew of Central Continent City, but many had only heard of it and had never been there.
Some haven’t even left the Ancient Martial Arts World.
Fu Xiyan: "In Central Continent City, half the inhabitants are cultivators, and there are several fifth-order Ancient Martial Artists among them."
"The first family of Central Continent City, the Yan Family, has several fifth-order and above Ancient Martial Artists."
"The second family of Central Continent City, the Lan Family, has several fifth-order Alchemists."
Fu Xiyan’s continuous revelations were like bombs, stupefying the crowd.
"What? There are fifth-order Ancient Martial Artists in Central Continent City?"
"What fifth-order cultivators? We haven’t seen any fifth-order cultivators in the Ancient Martial Arts World, how could there be any in the Secular World?"
"Your news is outdated, haven’t you heard that the five guards of the previous Yun Family are already fifth-order?"
"Not just the Yun Family, I heard Second Master Fu is also fifth-order now."
