"Let's not dwell on this anymore. Let's think of how we can remedy the situation now. I disagree with making someone like him our enemy," Zhulong Hao said. "Fortunately, it's not yet beyond redemption. It hasn't escalated to the point where it can't be salvaged."
"Then let's continue with our original plan. However, the price we have to pay now will probably be much higher," Zhulong Shuang said helplessly. She had great confidence initially, but now, it wasn't necessarily the case.
"Weren't you very confident?" Zhulong Hao sneered.
"I'm still confident," Zhulong Shuang chuckled.
"Then I'll wait and see." Zhulong Hao's eyes flickered as he left with Zhulong Shan.
…
Many people from the other factions also stayed behind. It was evident they weren't willing to give up like this
After a while, Wang Teng and the grandmasters arrived at the main hall of an alchemy room. They then sat down and introduced themselves.
"Grandmaster Wang Teng, my name is Dong Yutang. I've been in the academy for many years. I'm a ninth-level grandmaster now," The middle-aged grandmaster introduced himself.
"A ninth-level grandmaster!" Wang Teng was shocked. He didn't expect this grandmaster to be at the ninth level. That was extraordinary.
"Grandmaster Dong's profound mastery of alchemy is truly admirable. I will have much to learn from you in the future," Wang Teng praised.

Moreover, he was a ninth-level grandmaster and had a chance of reaching the divine level in the future. Wang Teng naturally had to pay more attention to him.
"Hahaha, to receive praise from Master Wang Teng is an honor for me." Dong Yutang smiled happily. Then, he pointed at a chubby man beside him and introduced himself, "This is Grandmaster Pu Yuanzhong. He's not bad either. He's an eighth-level grandmaster!"
"Ah, Old Dong, you flatter me. My skills are much worse than yours." Grandmaster Pu Yuanzhong smiled at Wang Teng and waved his hand.
"Grandmaster Pu!" Wang Teng smiled at him. Birds of a feather flock together.
Grandmaster Dong was at the ninth level while this person was at the eighth level. Their skills wouldn't be too far off.
"This is…"
Just as Dong Yutang was about to introduce the third grandmaster, the other party smiled and said, "I'll do it myself. My name is Cecilia. I'm also an eighth-level grandmaster!"
This bright and beautiful female grandmaster was an eighth-level grandmaster. It was surprising.
"Grandmaster Cecilia!" Wang Teng nodded at her.
Three grandmasters - one ninth-level and two eighth-level. Such a lineup was probably extremely rare and extraordinary amongst the academies.
After the introduction, they started chatting. Grandmaster Dong Yutang and the others were very curious about Wang Teng's alchemy skills. They couldn't help but interview him.

"I just reached the grandmaster eighth level," Wang Teng replied honestly.
"Grandmaster eighth-level!!!" Dong Yutang and the other two exchanged glances. They were unable to hide the surprise in their eyes.
"This is unbelievable. We thought you were at the peak of the grandmaster level." Cecilia exclaimed.
"That's right. You've refined grandmaster-level pills 12 times in three consecutive days. From what we saw, there are even elixirs above the grandmaster seventh-level. Even a peak-level grandmaster might not be able to do that." Pu Yuanzhong nodded in agreement.
"I have yet to reach the peak of the grandmaster level, but I have some confidence in making a ninth-level grandmaster pill," Wang Teng said.
The three of them widened their eyes when they heard Wang Teng's words.
Refining a ninth-level grandmaster pill with the attainments of an eighth-level grandmaster!
They didn't express doubt, but there was no shortage of astonishment in their hearts.
Some alchemists could refine pills beyond their level, but they were few and far between. Only those with exceptionally profound knowledge of alchemy could achieve such feats.
Grandmaster Wang Teng was probably such a person.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})He made grandmaster-level pills 12 times in three days without any failures. They had to believe that he could do it.
"The profound expertise of Grandmaster Wang Teng is truly admirable. We are humbled, truly humbled," Grandmaster Dong Yutang couldn't help but express his genuine admiration. He was sincerely amazed, even more surprised than when he first heard that Wang Teng was at the peak of the grandmaster level.
"May I ask how old you are?" Grandmaster Cecilia sized him up with her black eyes. She was very curious and couldn't help but ask.
"Let me think. I'm probably in my early twenties," Wang Teng pondered for a while and replied.
The universe did not keep track of the years. Although he hadn't been in the universe for long compared to other martial warriors, he couldn't recall his exact age very well.
Silence.
"Pfft!" Grandmaster Pu Yuanzhong spat out his mouthful of tea when he heard Wang Teng's words.
Both Grandmaster Dong Yutang and Grandmaster Cecil remained silent, exchanging glances with each other.
"Grandmaster Wang Teng, how old did you say you were?" Cecilia asked again.
"I'm in my early twenties. I'm pretty sure I'm not more than 25 years old," Wang Teng touched his chin and replied.
Pu Yuanzhong coughed a few times and said, "Grandmaster Wang Teng, you startled me. Are you truly in your twenties?"
"It's true. I won't lie to you about this," Wang Teng replied.
"Unbelievable." Cecilia took a deep breath to calm herself down.
"That's right. Grandmaster Wang Teng, you are very young. All of us are over a thousand years old." Dong Yutang sized him up with a strange gaze. It was hard to fathom that the grandmaster before them was actually younger than their descendants.
