Next to Knight XV, Fu Ling'er waited anxiously. Seeing Jiang Chen emerge, the young girl's face lit up with joy, and she hurriedly ran over to him, "Jiang Chen, can you please help my grandfather?"

"Your grandfather?" Jiang Chen looked at Fu Ling'er with surprise.

Fu Ling'er bit her lip, seeming to have made an important decision, "As long as you can lend a hand to my grandfather, I will give you all five of my collected Purple Flame Vermilion Fruits!"

"Purple Flame Vermilion Fruits?!" Jiang Chen's eyes lit up before his brow gently furrowed, "What kind of trouble has your grandfather encountered? To the point where he needs to use five Spirit Fruits for help?"

Fu Ling'er, in urgency, said, "Don't worry about that right now, just answer me, you… are you an Innate Grandmaster?"

"Innate Grandmaster?" Jiang Chen was puzzled for a moment before realizing; back in the antique shop when he had accurately identified Fu Ling'er's strength, he must have made her think he was an Innate Grandmaster.

"Although I'm not an Innate Grandmaster, I do have the strength of one," Jiang Chen said confidently.

Fu Ling'er's brow furrowed slightly, a hint of skepticism appearing in her eyes, "You…"

"Is your matter urgent?" Jiang Chen asked with a slight smile. He knew Fu Ling'er didn't believe him and he was determined to obtain the Purple Flame Vermilion Fruits, an important element for cultivating his own influence. Hence, he wanted to prove to Fu Ling'er that he had the strength to help.

"Um… it's not very urgent," Fu Ling'er hesitated a moment, then gently shook her head.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "Let's go to the Martial Alliance; I'll prove my words."

…

The Dingjing branch of the Martial Alliance.

Thanks to Jiang Chen's medicinal treatment, all members of the Martial Alliance Branch had completely recovered and thrown themselves back into work.

"Mr. Jiang's car." Members of the Alliance spotted the approaching Knight XV from afar, their faces immediately brightening with admiration.

Squeak!

The vehicle stopped, and the Martial Alliance members came forward to greet them.

The car door opened, and Jiang Chen and Fu Ling'er stepped out.

"Mr. Jiang, what brings you here?" a member of the Alliance inquired respectfully.

Jiang Chen replied with a slight smile, "I'm here to see Chairman Qiu. Is he around?"

"Yes, yes, he's in the Training Room!" the members nodded repeatedly.

Laughing softly, Jiang Chen said, "Good, I'll go to him."

Carrying Fu Ling'er with him, Jiang Chen entered the branch.

"Mr. Jiang."

"Mr. Jiang."

Along the way, every Martial Alliance member they encountered bowed respectfully and greeted Jiang Chen warmly.

"Jiang Chen, why do Martial Alliance members respect you so much? Are you a big shot in the Martial Alliance?" As the two turned into an empty corridor, Fu Ling'er looked at Jiang Chen, puzzled.

Jiang Chen replied with a slight smile, "I am not from the Martial Alliance. Martial Artists naturally respect the powerful."

Fu Ling'er nodded, contemplating Jiang Chen with a thoughtful look.

"Ha!"

"Heh!"

Approaching the door to the Chairman's private Training Room, a series of shouts and calls could be heard from inside.

Jiang Chen smiled as he pushed open the room door.

In the training room, Qiu Boyuan was practicing martial arts. Hearing the door open, he turned his head, his face breaking into a smile as he asked, "Mr. Jiang? What brings you here?"

"I've come to deliver an elixir!" Jiang Chen replied with a faint smile.

Glancing at Fu Ling'er, Qiu Boyuan looked at Jiang Chen with puzzlement, "An elixir? Which elixir?"

"What? You don't want to break through to Innate Grandmaster anymore?" Jiang Chen teased, looking at Qiu Boyuan, "Since you no longer wish to break through, then I might as well give this Purple Flame Broken Mirror Elixir to someone else."

He took out a jade box and shook it, then pretended to leave.

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang!" Qiu Boyuan grabbed Jiang Chen's arm, repeatedly saying, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I want, want, I want to break through!"

"Purple Flame Broken Mirror Elixir?!" Fu Ling'er exclaimed in surprise, staring at Jiang Chen with disbelief written all over her face.

Jiang Chen was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Fu Ling'er with interest, "You know about the Purple Flame Broken Mirror Elixir?"

"Of course, the Purple Flame Broken Mirror Elixir can unleash the full potential of the Purple Flame Vermilion Fruit's shattering power.

A standard Purple Flame Broken Mirror Elixir would give a peak Semi Innate Grandmaster a ten percent chance of breaking through. If it's of fine quality, the chance rises to thirty percent, and for a top-notch Purple Flame Broken Mirror Elixir, there's a fifty percent chance of success.

This is a peerless spiritual medicine, lost for over a hundred years!"

Fu Ling'er watched Jiang Chen, her face full of anticipation, "You have this elixir? Can you, can you sell one to me? I, I will give you all five Purple Flame Vermilion Fruits from my collection!"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "Are these five Purple Flame Vermilion Fruits for me to once help your grandfather, or to exchange for a Purple Flame Broken Mirror Elixir?"

Fu Ling'er was momentarily taken aback, hesitancy written all over her face, while Jiang Chen watched her with a smile, not in the least bit in a hurry.

Off to the side, Qiu Boyuan watched the jade box in Jiang Chen's hand with longing eyes, wishing he could just snatch it right away. But since the elixir was in Jiang Chen's hands, he didn't have the guts to actually rob him and could only look at Jiang Chen with a face full of grievance.

"Then help my grandfather," Fu Ling'er mumbled reluctantly after wrestling with the decision for a long while.

Jiang Chen laughed heartily and affectionately ruffled Fu Ling'er's hair, "You are currently at the Profound Level and don't need the Purple Flame Broken Mirror Elixir yet. It's for your grandfather, right? If your place has all the necessary materials for alchemy, I can help him make one."

"Really? Really? You're not lying to me, are you?" Fu Ling'er's eyes lit up, her face brimming with joy as she looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen smiled gently, "Of course."

"Thank you, Brother Jiang Chen, you really are a good person," Fu Ling'er said happily.

Shaking his head with amusement, Jiang Chen turned to see Qiu Boyuan with a face that looked like a wronged woman, and he couldn't help but jump in surprise, "President Qiu, what's with that expression?"

"Mr. Jiang, do you realize how tempting a Purple Flame Broken Mirror Elixir is to someone at the peak of the Semi Innate Grandmaster level?" Qiu Boyuan said with a wry smile, the mournful look in his eyes deepening.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "Alright, it's yours!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen casually tossed the jade box to Qiu Boyuan.

"Ah!" Qiu Boyuan exclaimed in shock as his hands moved in a blur to swiftly catch the jade box, his face boiling with anger as he looked up at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen grinned teasingly, "What's the matter? President Qiu, are you looking to have a fight with me?"

Shuddering, Qiu Boyuan's anger, which had just risen, vanished in an instant. He hastily waved his hands saying, "No, no, no, Mr. Jiang, I didn't mean that. I certainly don't want to be killed in seconds by you!"

"Killed in seconds?" Fu Ling'er asked in surprise. Just now, Qiu Boyuan had declared himself to be at the peak of the Semi Innate Grandmaster level—this...

Qiu Boyuan nodded vigorously, "Mr. Jiang once killed a Semi Innate whose strength was not much different from mine with a single strike."

"Really?!"

Fu Ling'er gasped, grabbing Jiang Chen's arm impatiently, "Jiang Chen, you are a good person, a good Brother Jiang. Please help my grandfather!"
