Seeing Lin Hao standing at the entrance, the nearest Alchemy Master didn't pay him much mind at first. He just glanced over before resuming his alchemy.
But then, the Alchemy Master's body stiffened. He suddenly turned, bowed with clasped fists, and respectfully called out, "Young Master Lin."
The voice rang out with perfect clarity inside Pill Cloud Hall.
Then, the Heaven-Stepping Sect disciples who had come to help were dumbfounded.
They watched as several Alchemy Masters stopped what they were doing, trotted over to Lin Hao, and bowed in unison with clasped fists, greeting him respectfully.
The disciples exchanged glances, and each saw the same shock in the others' eyes.
'Just who is this Lin Hao? Why are even the high and mighty Alchemy Masters from the Danling Sect so respectful to him?'
'This makes no sense.'
'Could it be... the only reason they're so respectful to us is because of Lin Hao?'
