After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

"Pity…"

Seeing this, a hint of regret flashed in Ma Yang's eyes, and he sighed, "The flame control must not be very stable yet, which is why it failed."

Worried that Qin Chuan might lose confidence, he quickly said, "But you've already done very well. As long as you practice diligently, you'll definitely be able to refine this fourth-grade Breakthrough Pill."

"Yeah yeah!"

Jia Dahai, who was standing nearby, comforted him, saying, "You've only just started using earth fire, so it's natural that you're not familiar with it yet. Once you get used to it, you'll be able to use it with ease."

"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded rather dejectedly, but a subtle smile appeared on his lips.

He did this on purpose, of course.

Refining this Breakthrough Pill was not difficult at all; in fact, it was quite easy.

But if he could refine it so easily, he wouldn't have enough time to stay here and study the earth fire.

Therefore, while demonstrating his alchemy skills, he cannot perform too well.

"It's a pity. It's definitely a problem with the control of the flames. A few more tries should fix it."

Jia Dahai, who was standing nearby, comforted Qin Chuan again, fearing that he might give up.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan's lips curled up slightly; he had achieved his goal.

Immediately, Qin Chuan clasped his hands and said, "Masters, rest assured, I will definitely refine the medicine diligently during this period and will surely produce a fourth-grade pill. I will not let you down!"

Hearing such a confident guarantee, Ma Yang and Jia Dahai exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with joy.

Ma Yang patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder and said excitedly, "We're entrusting the competition to you. Whether we win or lose, we will pass on our mantle to you."

"Yes!"

Qin Chuan nodded vigorously and continued refining.

While maintaining the rhythm of the alchemy process, he extended his spiritual power into the earth fire.

Begin to feel the temperature between the earth and the fire.

During the process of refining the medicine, Qin Chuan would occasionally make some 'minor mistakes'.

However, under the guidance of Ma Yang and Jia Dahai, these 'minor mistakes' were gradually reduced, and the work became increasingly closer to perfection.

At this point, even Ma Yang couldn't find anything wrong with it.

Qin Chuan's performance today has exceeded their expectations.

"Alright, that's enough for today. You must be pretty tired. We still have some time later, so we can continue..."

Before Ma Yang could finish speaking, Qin Chuan shook his head. "Master Ma, Master Jia, you should go up first. I want to practice here a little longer."

Upon hearing that Qin Chuan still wanted to refine medicine, Ma Yang and Jia Dahai were immediately taken aback.

None of them expected Qin Chuan to continue.

Ma Yang asked in surprise, "Can your mental strength still hold up?"

Qin Chuan nodded. "I can still hold on for now. I want to get to know this Breakthrough Pill better."

He had no problem with it, even though he was refining thousands of spiritual herbs at the same time, it had only taken him less than a day.

Back in Guiyun City, in order to defeat the Ouyang family's pills, he spent several months refining pills in the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace.

He hadn't slept much and had been constantly refining medicine.

What does this level of intensity amount to now?

Regaining his composure, Qin Chuan smiled and said, "The people from Medicine King Valley will arrive in ten days. I hope to use this time to master the method of refining fourth-grade pills."

Upon hearing this, Ma Yang and Jia Dahai exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing admiration.

But at the same time, a question arose in their minds.

"This kid is being way too forward..."

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

Ma Yang and Jia Dahai looked on with suspicion.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan's eyes flashed, and he quickly said, "I want to seize this opportunity so that I can inherit the mantle of the two masters!"

"So that's it!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Yang and Jia Dahai suddenly realized what was going on.

So this kid is working so hard because he wants to follow in their footsteps.

Ma Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you do your best, I'll risk my reputation to try and get you a position among the six great alchemists."

As for passing on the mantle, you don't need to worry. You are currently the most talented person in our lineage, so naturally the mantle will be passed on to you!

The Six Great Alchemists?

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan's pupils contracted, and he couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised.

There are only five alchemists in Danfeng.

These five alchemists hold the highest status within Danfeng, equivalent to elders in other peaks.

I never expected that Ma Yang would be willing to spend so much money for this competition.

"Thank you both, masters!" Qin Chuan said, clasping his hands in gratitude.

"Ah."

Ma Yang nodded and instructed, "Then you should stay here and focus on refining the medicine. Remember not to overexert yourself, and do not go to the alchemy room behind the character '丙'."

As he spoke, he handed over a storage ring, saying, "There are some spiritual herbs I've put in here, enough for you to use for the next few days. We'll come to see you again then."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan quickly expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Master Ma!"

He glanced at the spiritual herbs in his storage ring; there were tens of thousands of them, enough to keep him here for half a month.

If converted into contribution points, this would amount to at least nearly 100,000 contribution points.

At this moment, Jia Dahai patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Work hard, I believe in you!"

"Don't worry, masters, I will definitely work hard!"

As Qin Chuan spoke, he once again began refining medicine with great enthusiasm.

Seeing Qin Chuan's hard work, Ma Yang and Jia Dahai nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately, they stopped disturbing them and turned to leave the alchemy room.

Watching the two figures leave, Qin Chuan's lips curled slightly, and he muttered to himself, "Don't worry, since you treat me like this, I will naturally lend you a hand and help you win this competition."

Qin Chuan naturally saw what Ma Yang and Jia Dahai had done.

Furthermore, the two of them could have concealed the matter of Medicine King Valley, but they did not.

Moreover, he revealed everything he knew without reservation.

Based on this honesty alone, Qin Chuan was willing to help them.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Qin Chuan stopped refining the medicine and said in a low voice, "Now I can finally study this properly."

As soon as he finished speaking, a thought flashed through his mind, and a cluster of deep red flames rose from his fingertips.

It is the spark!

The moment the spark appeared, the earth fire beneath the cauldron began to surge violently.

Clearly, the earth fire sensed the presence of the fire seed on Qin Chuan's body, and both coveted and feared it.

"Looks like you're afraid of fire too?"

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

This spark can devour the earth fire, and the earth fire can also devour the spark.

It all comes down to which one is stronger!

That's why the fire here reacted this way after sensing the spark.

Just like in the mysterious pit in the Guiyun Mountains, these earth fires both coveted and feared the source of fire.

If it weren't for their fear, these subterranean fires would probably have already begun to stir and devour Qin Chuan.

At this moment, Empress Yaoxi suddenly said, "This earth fire has probably developed some intelligence because of the addition of the original peak master's pill fire."

Intelligence?

Qin Chuan was taken aback and exclaimed in surprise, "Earth fire can actually have sentience?"
