He’s the vice-chairman of the Jiangnan sub-district Martial Arts Association.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, for something this significant, even if he’s not the vice-chairman, just a glance should reveal it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people chimed in, their eyes filled with doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not really sure what’s going on either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Lin glanced at the phone screen and said with a wry smile, \"Maybe it’s because Chairman Shen is often away? Or perhaps, this news of Chen Fan breaking through to the True Essence Realm has just been updated?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That makes sense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was an update from the past few days, it would make sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, Chairman Shen and I are close, he wouldn’t deliberately deceive me. Plus, there’s another interesting coincidence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Lin smiled and recounted how Shen Si had also encountered Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the expressions of everyone present became more interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chairman Shen also encountered him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a coincidence, indeed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey Chairman, if that person really is Chen Fan, then why didn’t he reveal his identity when he met Chairman Shen last time?\" Ouyang Juan asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that person is part of the Jiangnan sub-district Martial Arts Association, why wouldn’t he reveal his identity when meeting someone from the association?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that Chairman Shen didn’t know that person’s identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that we’re overthinking this? Is this just a coincidence?\" a middle-aged woman asked, her gaze sweeping over the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it. Instead of us wildly speculating, why not wait for Chairman Shen’s response?\" Liu Lin said with a bitter smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their hearts, they still held a bit of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hoped that person wasn’t Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jiangnan sub-district Martial Arts Association already had a Shi Tao. If another person like this guy appeared, not only would they be suppressed, but even other Martial Arts Associations would struggle to rise for years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Si, after hanging up, immediately called Chang Fei’s phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for Liu Lin’s call, he wouldn’t have known when such a genius appeared in their association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more of a genius than Ling Yu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, for such a significant piece of news, Chang Fei had not informed him! He had made a complete fool of himself earlier, feeling extremely awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, more importantly, he was concerned whether the masked person with the bow and arrow was actually Chen Fan from their association?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that were the case, it would be fantastic news!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as his mind was full of thoughts, the call connected, and a familiar voice answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Shen? Are you coming back from out there? Hahaha, it’s about time! This time, I’ve prepared a bottle of seventy-year-old good wine, just waiting for your return to celebrate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so? I’m really looking forward to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Si chuckled and cautiously asked, \"During the time I was away, has anything major happened in the association?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anything major?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Fei was puzzled. \"No, nothing major. It’s the same as when you left ten or twenty days ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Si, frustrated, said, \"Think carefully, are you sure nothing significant happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was hiding something even now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Fei cleared his throat a few times, then said awkwardly, \"Well, I was planning to tell you this exciting news when you got back as a surprise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Shen Si felt slightly better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he felt a bit nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows if that person is actually the same guy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, the mystery would soon be solved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he asked, \"What surprise? Tell me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True Qi Pill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Fei uttered three words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True Qi Pill?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Si was puzzled. What does this have to do with the True Qi Pill?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Fei sensed something off in his tone and asked in surprise, \"You don’t know about this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I really don’t know much about this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Si mused for a moment, then asked curiously, \"You mentioned the True Qi Pill. What’s the matter? Has Elder Tang made a breakthrough with the formula?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You could say that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Fei cleared his throat and, a bit embarrassed, said, \"You know the success rate of top-grade True Qi Pills in our association—around twenty or thirty percent. Now, not only has the success rate increased to seventy or eighty percent, but the probability of top-grade True Qi Pills has also reached seventy percent. With good luck, a batch of True Qi Pills can yield six top-grade pills, and with average luck, three or four.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Si was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single batch of True Qi Pills now yielded at least three or four top-grade pills? With good luck, up to six?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This—is this real?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The True Qi Pill formula in the association had a success rate of around twenty percent for top-grade pills, but this didn’t mean two pills per batch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mostly, it was just one, sometimes none.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the previous results, the improvement was several times better!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Chang, are you joking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would I joke about something this important?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Fei laughed and asked, \"How’s that for a surprise?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a surprise, a huge surprise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Si nodded vigorously. \"If this doesn’t count as a surprise, what does?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Fei took a deep breath and said, \"Our association’s efficiency in refining top-grade True Qi Pills might even rival the Awakened Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t inform you immediately because I didn’t want to distract you, and our top researchers are still working to perfect it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Still perfecting it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Si’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The improvements were already so significant, and there was still room for perfection?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Fei paused and said, \"When you asked if Elder Tang made a breakthrough, I said sort of because this improved formula wasn’t enhanced by Elder Tang, but bought from another source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theoretically, mastering this formula can yield a ninety percent success rate and every True Qi Pill would be top-grade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All top-grade? Is that true?\" Shen Si was thoroughly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought five or six top-grade pills per batch were amazing. But, nine?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, we saw it with our own eyes. If you don’t believe it, I can send you the video later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Si quickly agreed, feeling very excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t been away for long, yet so much had changed in the association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with just four or five top-grade True Qi Pills per batch, his cultivation speed would greatly improve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Chang, you mentioned this formula was bought from another source. What source? It couldn’t have been easy, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t too hard either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Fei sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Si’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, \"What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, nothing much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Fei laughed and then said, \"This formula was bought from someone in our own association.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? From our own people? Who?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Fan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Si’s voice raised several decibels, his face showing extreme shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The matter of top-grade True Qi Pills was so significant that he almost forgot his original intention for the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Chang Fei mention this name, he suddenly remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He called to inquire about Chen Fan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Shen, what happened? Why is your reaction so strong?\" Chang Fei asked curiously, \"Have you met Brother Chen before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know if the person I met is him or not, that’s why I called to ask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Si bitterly smiled, recollecting his thoughts. \"Old Chang, the Brother Chen you mentioned, does he use a bow and arrow? The bow is black, the arrows are as thick as a man’s small arm, and he often wears an evil ghost mask?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Fei’s eyes widened. \"Old Shen, you really met him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to what you said, the person I encountered should be him.\" Shen Si’s voice trembled, his skin prickling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, they were indeed the same person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why, when he revealed his identity, Chen Fan did not reveal his?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that they had offended him by asking him to leave?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It should be him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Fei nodded. \"The bow and arrow he uses, I personally selected for him. As for the mask, he does have the habit of wearing it when hunting. Also, Old Shen, you’re not the first to call me about this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Others asked as well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, people from White Cloud City encountered him in Anxi City. I heard he single-handedly shot a Frenzied Bull King.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Frenzied Bull King? His strength must be more than that.\" Shen Si took a deep breath and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We were in a valley at that time. Coincidentally, I spotted traces of the Celestial God Fruit and took people there, just in time to encounter him. However, it seems there was some displeasure, so he didn’t reveal his identity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1513,"2026-06-06T15:42:49.906Z",1,"novelbin.me","1644f16896e593dd99f7c2a1906d87485273b042574d1178286be44fec87be55","high-martial-arts-invincible-starts-from-basic-a-chapter-387","high-martial-arts-invincible-starts-from-basic-a-chapter-385",808,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhigh-martial-arts-invincible-starts-from-basic-a-cover.jpg"]
