"You could say he's one of ours. Have you really never heard of Master Chixia Chu?"
"He's a master of both Pill and Artifact refining. The True Understanding Pavilion was founded by him..."
"You know that Tier Four Soldier Puppet that was destroyed by a Great Demon? The Chen Family struggled with it for ages and couldn't fix it. But then they invited Elder Chu, and he had it repaired in just a few months..."
