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

"Senior Yaoxi, how much longer?"

Empress Yaoxi's expression was solemn. "We need to hold on a little longer. This dragon's corpse is far too enormous."

It would be quite difficult to store them all within the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace space.

Hearing this, Qin Chuan frowned but still nodded.

He had to persevere. The fire-avoiding bracelet was now broken, and if he couldn't take the dragon's remains in one go...

Who knows when we'll be able to get back into this fiery depths again?

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan hardened his heart and gritted his teeth to persevere.

"boom!"

As time passed, the earth's primordial fire began to stir violently.

The magma continued to churn and began to press towards Qin Chuan.

"Crack..."

Suddenly, fine cracks began to appear on the fire-avoiding bracelet on Qin Chuan's wrist.

Qin Chuan knew that if things continued like this, he probably wouldn't be able to hold out for long.

"boom!"

The next moment, a crisp sound rang out, and the fire-avoiding bracelet on Qin Chuan's hand shattered completely.

In an instant, an intensely hot temperature emanated from the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace and rushed towards us.

"call…"

Qin Chuan gasped for breath, his skin instantly turning crimson, like a boiled shrimp.

Empress Yaoxi quickly said, "Should we go back first?"

"No, there probably won't be another chance next time."

As he spoke, Qin Chuan desperately channeled his profound energy to resist the terrifyingly high temperatures outside.

If this keeps up, I'll be roasted alive...

Qin Chuan's eyes flickered as he thought to himself.

Just when he was about to lose his temper due to the high temperature, his eyes suddenly lit up and he thought of something.

A moment later, Qin Chuan had a thought, and a deep blue pill appeared in his hand, with two pill patterns on it.

It was the Ice Spirit Pill that they had used in the previous competition with Medicine King Valley.

The effect of the Ice Spirit Pill is to enhance one's water attribute, which can also lower one's body temperature to resist the heat from the outside world.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Chuan tilted his head back and swallowed the pill directly.

The Ice Spirit Pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and before long, an extremely cold profound energy flowed through Qin Chuan's body.

In an instant, Qin Chuan felt the heat in his body subside.

The previously red and cracked skin stopped cracking.

Qin Chuan understood that the Ice Spirit Pill had this effect because of the two pill patterns.

If it were a regular Ice Spirit Pill, it would definitely not achieve this effect.

Roar!

The good times didn't last long. The source of the Danfeng Earth Fire roared again and began to devour Qin Chuan.

At the same time, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace began to shake.

This source of earth fire seemed to possess sentience, constantly impacting the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace.

"All right!"

Just when Qin Chuan was about to give up, Empress Yao Xi's voice finally rang out.

As soon as he finished speaking, the hundreds-of-feet-long dragon corpse in front of them was instantly sucked into the space of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Chuan frantically activated his profound energy and quickly manipulated the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace to leave this place.

"call…"

Back on the passage, Qin Chuan gasped for breath, his gaze fixed on the earth fire below.

A moment later, a smile of relief appeared on his face.

He almost perished in the fire.

Empress Yaoxi said, "You're taking too much of a risk. Have you considered the possibility of..."

"Of course I have."

Qin Chuan smiled and nodded, "But the gains from this adventure were worthwhile, weren't they?"

At this moment, inside the space of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace, there was already the skeleton of a giant dragon several hundred feet long.

If the space in the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace weren't large enough, it probably wouldn't have been able to hold such a large corpse.

Now is not the time to refine the corpse bones, so Qin Chuan did not rush to enter the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace space.

After glancing at the underground fire behind him, Qin Chuan turned and left.

The source of this subterranean fire was far more ferocious than he had imagined.

Although he wanted to absorb the earth fire here, it was not something he could do at the moment, so he had to give up the idea for the time being.

Back at the main hall of Danfeng, Ma Yang and Jia Dahai were inside.

Upon seeing Qin Chuan enter, Ma Yang was slightly taken aback and asked in surprise, "Qin Chuan, you're alright now?"

"Ah."

Qin Chuan smiled and then said, "I went to the Earth Fire again, but I didn't find anything related to the former peak master."

"What! You went into the subterranean fire again?"

Ma Yang and Jia Dahai exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat shocked.

It's truly unbelievable that he recovered from his injuries and was able to re-enter the subterranean fire in such a short time.

After a moment of silence, Ma Yang looked at Qin Chuan.

"Qin Chuan, would you be willing to join our lineage and inherit our mantle?"

Hearing this, Qin Chuan was stunned, not expecting Ma Yang to speak so suddenly.

Before he could speak, Ma Yang smiled and said, "You don't need to rush to refuse. Joining our lineage will only make you our successor, but you will still be Guan Yueyue's disciple."

"However, there's one condition for becoming a successor to our lineage: you must reclaim all the Medicine King's inheritance and expose Liu Xinghai's despicable nature!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan raised an eyebrow and waited for Ma Yang to continue.

These are just things he needs to accomplish; there are definitely benefits to be gained without being mentioned.

Taking a deep breath, Ma Yang seemed to have made a decision.

"As long as you are willing to join our lineage, my junior brother and I will give you all our pill formulas."

And there's our lineage's token. With it, you'll be qualified to compete for the position of Valley Master in Medicine King Valley.

Medicine King Valley possesses countless rare pill formulas and numerous spiritual herbs; if you could become the Valley Master, you would be qualified to possess them all.

"Competing for the position of Valley Master?"

Qin Chuan was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Isn't the Valley Master already Liu Xinghai's? Why is there still a struggle for him?"

Before Ma Yang could speak, Jia Dahai angrily said, "Liu Xinghai is nothing but a valley master, at most he can only be considered an acting valley master."

"The acting Valley Master?"

“That’s right.” Ma Yang nodded. “To become the true Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, one must possess six Medicine King inheritances at the same time. That’s why Liu Xinghai is so eager to compete with us every time.”

Our master set a condition: only one bet at a time. This is the last time. If you hadn't appeared, the entire Medicine King's inheritance would probably already belong to Liu Xinghai.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan finally understood what was going on and raised an eyebrow noncommittally.

The pill formulas were certainly good, but the Empress had already given the Yuan Dan Book, which contained countless rare pill formulas.

As for the position of Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, it was even more elusive and he had little interest in it.

Seeing that Qin Chuan remained unmoved, Ma Yang shook his head with a wry smile and sighed, "It seems that none of these things can attract you. It seems that I have no choice but to reveal my last trump card."

As he spoke, Ma Yang coughed lightly and continued, "The Medicine King's inheritance is divided into six parts. You cannot view any single part. Only when all six parts are collected can you put together a complete inheritance."

This place contains a secret technique called the Nine Refinements Elixir Regeneration Technique!

"Nine Refinements Elixir Regeneration Technique?"

Qin Chuan frowned and asked, "What's the use of this?"

Ma Yang smiled and then said, "This pill-refining technique can greatly increase the appearance of pill patterns during the alchemy process!"
