Twenties

"My Lord, Qin Ming actually started in Liu City. He is the son of a small Family in Liu City. We never thought in that direction, which is why we have been unable to investigate him." The Middle-aged Man cupped his hands and said respectfully.

"What? The son of a small Family? How small is this small Family?" Zhang Chongtian looked astonished. When he investigated information on Qin Ming, he mostly looked into various Sects and various Hidden Families. He never expected that Qin Ming hadn't hidden himself at all; he was just the son of a small Family.

"Very small, very small." The Middle-aged Man said. Feeling that Zhang Chongtian might not understand, he added, "Liu City is the smallest level of city in the Great Xia Dynasty. A Great Martial Master is enough to serve as the City Lord."

"What?" Zhang Chongtian stared at the Middle-aged Man, unable to react for a moment. What kind of Rank of Martial Artist is a Great Martial Master? They are just trash.

The gatekeepers at their Pill Alliance Alliance Headquarters are all at the Martial Ancestor Realm. In the entire Pill Alliance Alliance Headquarters, you could not find anyone with such a low Rank.

Yet a Great Martial Master can become a City Lord in Liu City, which shows just how backward Liu City is.

"I suppose our Pill Alliance doesn't even have a Branch in such a city, right?" Zhang Chongtian asked.

"Indeed, we do not have a Branch in Liu City. The strength of the Martial Artists there is too poor; it is simply not worth establishing a Branch." The Middle-aged Man nodded, confirming the Alliance Leader's words.

"Qin Ming comes from such a city?" Zhang Chongtian still found it hard to believe. "Are you sure the information is correct?"

"The information is absolutely correct. Qin Ming is indeed from Liu City. The appearance matches, the name matches, and furthermore, according to my careful investigation, there are traces of the Huayu Sect operating in Chenyang City." The Middle-aged Man guaranteed confidently. Fearing that the Alliance Leader might not believe him, he even beat his chest desperately to assure him.

"Chenyang City is a city one Rank higher than Liu City. With Qin Ming's help, his father became the Lord of Liu City."

"I see…" Zhang Chongtian sat down, struggling to digest this information.

"Then, who did Qin Ming learn Alchemy from, and what is his true age?" Zhang Chongtian asked. Although he had found Qin Ming's origins, he was even more confused. How could someone born in such a place become a Martial Venerable?

Where did he get the resources? If someone like that could become a Martial Venerable, then the entire continent would have more than just these few Martial Venerables; Martial Venerables would be flying everywhere, and Martial Emperors would be piled up in heaps.

"According to the intelligence, Qin Ming is only in his twenties, and Qin Ming learned Alchemy from Azure Flame. At the very least, on the surface, Azure Flame is Qin Ming's Dao of Alchemy and Martial Dao master." The Middle-aged Man said cautiously.

Although he was certain his information was correct, he still felt that it was too unbelievable.

"What? In his twenties? Are you sure you didn't misspeak? Is it not over two hundred years old?" Upon hearing this news, Zhang Chongtian stood up abruptly from his chair, dumbfounded.

Although Qin Ming looked young, he had never imagined him to be in his twenties. What is the concept of being in your twenties? His own grandson is much older than Qin Ming.

The most critical point is that to be able to Cultivate to the Martial Venerable Realm, who hasn't spent hundreds or thousands of years accumulating? At twenty-something, even if one started Cultivating in the womb, it would be impossible to become a Martial Venerable!

Furthermore, what did he just hear? That Qin Ming's Martial Dao and Dao of Alchemy were taught by Azure Flame? He had also met Azure Flame; he was merely a Pill Emperor. With that Rank, within the Pill Alliance, there are at least eighty or a hundred such people; how could he possibly be Qin Ming's master?

Qin Ming had poisoned a Pill Saint to death and remained completely unharmed himself.
