"The first tempering!?"
Staring at Chen Qing, Zhang Baicheng said in a heavy voice, "You haven't just reached the True Essence Realm, you've already completed the first True Essence Refining?!"
Every expert present understood what "the first tempering" meant. It was the first small step on the True Essence Realm cultivation path that brought about a qualitative change—a significant increase in the purity and quantity of one's True Essence, as well as their sensitivity to Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi!
And Chen Qing had quietly completed this step!
Up on the high platform, Luo Ziming's eyes were locked on Chen Qing, as if trying to see right through him.
'This kid… he hid his strength so well!'
His mind reeled. While the first tempering wasn't world-shaking on its own, when combined with Chen Qing's age and cultivation speed, the potential it represented was terrifying.
