The news of Duan Gujin becoming a Fifth-level Alchemist quickly spread throughout the entire Blood Killing Sect, and many were shocked to hear this news.

When they heard that Duan Gujin was a nineteen-year-old youth, many Inner Sect Disciples were dumbfounded.

They clearly understood what being a Fifth-level Alchemist meant; among those who had recently become Inner Sect Disciples of the Blood Killing Sect, there were quite a few alchemists, but those alchemists were of very low grade and insignificant.

In the eyes of numerous Inner Sect Disciples, Duan Gujin was a youthful prodigy.

However, Duan Gujin now resided in a place arranged by Elder Wan, having no contact with other Inner Sect Disciples.

One day later, Elder Wan had Duan Gujin demonstrate the refining technique for Sixth-level Elixir Pills.

Upon truly comprehending Duan Gujin's Alchemy Techniques, Elder Wan judged that Duan Gujin had a very good chance of passing the assessment for the Sixth-level Alchemist as well.

"How did this prodigy gain mastery over such profound Alchemy Techniques?"

While many disciples of the Blood Killing Sect could quickly grasp the knowledge of Elixir Pills and Alchemy Techniques through Memory Jade Scrolls, mastering alchemy was another matter altogether.

To master alchemy, two things were indispensable.

One is strong Soul Power, and the second is the skilled utilization of Soul Power.

Elder Wan was utterly shocked that Duan Gujin could master profound alchemy techniques at such a young age, so he decided to impart all his knowledge to Duan Gujin.

In the following half month, Elder Wan transmitted all his experience as a Sixth-level Alchemist to Duan Gujin.

After evaluating Duan Gujin, Elder Wan predicted that as long as nothing unexpected happened, Duan Gujin would smoothly become a Sixth-level Alchemist.

Thus, Elder Wan instructed Duan Gujin to go back and read well, waiting for the day of the Sixth-level Alchemist assessment.

For Duan Gujin, although not much knowledge was truly learned in the half month that Elder Wan imparted alchemy knowledge to him,

he benefited significantly; at least he gained a deeper understanding of alchemy in Jiuzhou Continent and corrected many details of alchemy discrepancies between Jiuzhou and Yuanzhen Continents.

During this half month, Duan Gujin finally integrated all the alchemy knowledge currently possessed by the Blood Killing Sect.

At least, he was now the foremost alchemist in the Blood Killing Sect.

On the other hand, Gu Tianzhen, who had a feud with Duan Gujin, was terrified when he heard that Duan Gujin had become a Fifth-level Alchemist.

"I cannot just watch Duan Gujin continue to grow; he is already an Honorary Elder now, and if he continues to progress, he will become a Sixth-level Alchemist of the sect in the future, then I won't be able to get by here in the Blood Killing Sect!"

Gu Tianzhen was very clear why he held a grudge against Duan Gujin, believing that Duan Gujin would definitely not let him off.

Two people on his side had already died.

In the past, he might not have believed that Luoluo's death was connected to Duan Gujin.

But after hearing that Duan Gujin had become a Fifth-level Alchemist, when he thought back to Luoluo's death, he suddenly felt a chill.

"Luoluo must have been killed by him; that person must have been framed by him! Why that person lost his memory, I couldn't understand before, but now I see it clearly, it must have been an Elixir given by the Alchemist behind Duan Gujin that controlled the young man, and then made that young man rape and kill Luoluo! And afterwards, that young man lost all memory of that period of time! It must be so!"

Initially, he only suspected Duan Gujin, but at that time he didn't know about Duan Gujin's prowess in alchemy, and without any real evidence, he could only suspect that Duan Gujin might be the murderer.

But without real evidence, he had no way to hold Duan Gujin accountable.

But now that Duan Gujin had become a bona fide Fifth-level Alchemist, he couldn't help but worry about future revenge from Duan Gujin, and thus he was struck with fear.

Gu Tianzhen knew very well that he and Duan Gujin could never be on friendly terms.

After all, he had previously used him as cannon fodder and also caused the death of several of his people.

Putting himself in the other's shoes, Gu Tianzhen suspected that Duan Gujin would definitely seek revenge on him.

Thinking of this, Gu Tianzhen found himself unable to sleep all night.

"I should find a way to prevent him from continuing to grow!"

Upon this thought, a cold glint flashed through Gu Tianzhen's eyes.

If possible, he would certainly have Duan Gujin torn into thousands of pieces.

But now, the other party seemed to be stronger than him, and he was also a Fifth-level Alchemist protected by Elder Wan, making it impossible for him to even make contact. What could he use to deal with Duan Gujin then?

"Is there really no way for me to deal with him?"

Gu Tianzhen gasped for air, his mind turning rapidly, but after a while, he still couldn't come up with anything.

"Right, maybe I can get someone else to deal with him!"

Gu Tianzhen then thought of the young man who had murdered Luoluo. Although he had no evidence, he believed that Luoluo's death was definitely related to Duan Gujin.

He couldn't believe such a coincidence could exist in the world!

"I used to wonder why that man lost all his memories after he sexually assaulted Luoluo, but now I understand, this must be related to Duan Gujin. After all, Duan Gujin is a High-level Alchemist, maybe he possesses some kind of Elixir that can completely erase a person's memory, that's quite possible!"

The more he thought about it, the more afraid Gu Tianzhen became. He did not want to end up like Wu Wencai; he should take action before Duan Gujin becomes a celebrity in the Blood Killing Sect.

If Duan Gujin truly became a renowned figure in the Blood Killing Sect, it would become extremely difficult for him to deal with him.

Moreover, his future would be incredibly dangerous.

"If in the end I still can't deal with him, I'll just have to leave the Blood Killing Sect!"

Gu Tianzhen didn't want to end up tragically dead like Luoluo; he just wanted to survive.

He was very clear in his mind that Duan Gujin, who was currently only nineteen years old and already a Fifth-level Alchemist, was rumored to be soon taking the Sixth-level Alchemist test.

If Duan Gujin really passed the Sixth-level Alchemist test, Gu Tianzhen believed there would be no place for him in the Blood Killing Sect from then on.

After all, who wouldn't want to curry favor with the Blood Killing Sect's youngest, top-notch, most promising alchemist?

Thinking of this, Gu Tianzhen felt a deep sense of dread.

Within the Blood Killing Sect, there were others who heard about Duan Gujin becoming a Fifth-level Alchemist and grew very suspicious of him.

One such person was Wu Wencai from the Punishment Hall.

These days, he had been diligently looking for any clues related to his son's murder, but after several months of effort, he still found nothing.

After all, the clues he could find were far too few.

When he heard that Duan Gujin had become an Honorary Elder of the Blood Killing Sect, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Could this Duan Gujin be related to my son's murder?"
