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

"Adding Dan patterns?!"

Qin Chuan's eyes widened, a look of surprise flashing in them.

He never expected that the Medicine King's inheritance would contain a method to increase the number of pill patterns.

Danwen (丹纹) is something that can only be obtained by chance; it's not true that the more earth fire you possess, the more danwen you will refine.

Qin Chuan then understood the value of the Medicine King's inheritance.

Thinking about it this way, it's a sure-fire way to make money.

Although somewhat tempted, Qin Chuan smiled and said, "It can't be that simple, can it? You don't have any other requirements, do you?"

Ma Yang and Jia Dahai exchanged a glance and laughed at the same time.

After a moment, Ma Yang shook his head and said, "We have no other requirements. Our only hope is to find a successor for our lineage."

My fellow disciples and I have discussed this over the past two days, and we believe that both your talent for alchemy and your character make you an excellent choice.

He paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, it would be even better if you could gather the complete Medicine King's legacy in the future and expose Liu Xinghai's despicable nature."

Ma Yang saw all of Qin Chuan's talent.

At such a young age, being able to refine a fifth-grade pill and even create two pill patterns would make him an honored guest in any external power.

He naturally didn't want to let go of such a talented disciple.

Seeing the look of interest on Qin Chuan's face, Ma Yang pressed his advantage.

"As long as you inherit our mantle, from now on we will provide you with all the medicinal materials you need to refine elixirs."

Also, although I am a fifth-grade alchemist, my junior brother is only a fourth-grade alchemist, even lower than you.

"But we've spent our lives refining medicine, and we have many insights that can help you avoid some detours. With the help of us, you'll definitely break through to the sixth rank very quickly."

As they spoke, Ma Yang and Jia Dahai looked at Qin Chuan with hopeful eyes, waiting for his answer.

"Since both masters have said so, it would be too ungrateful of me to refuse to accept your lineage's inheritance."

With that, Qin Chuan nodded and smiled, "I'm willing to accept."

"Okay, great!"

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's agreement, Ma Yang and Jia Dahai exchanged a glance, both able to see the excitement in each other's eyes.

Immediately, Ma Yang took out a storage ring and handed it to Qin Chuan.

"Our lineage's heirloom is inside; from now on, you will be the one to shoulder the responsibility."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered a jade-green ring in his storage ring, which he assumed was the heirloom of their lineage.

In addition, there are two copies of the Medicine King's legacy, hundreds of elixir formulas, and the insights of the two individuals.

Qin Chuan's lips curled slightly, a warm feeling washing over him.

Although the pill formula was of no use to him, the two old men in front of him were unaware of this, and it could be said that they had given him everything.

After putting the storage ring away, Qin Chuan opened his mouth as if to say something, but hesitated for a moment.

Seeing this, Ma Yang smiled and said, "You don't need to do that. Just call us Master Ma and Master Jia as before. As long as you inherit our mantle and go further and further, that's fine."

Seeing how understanding Ma Yang was, Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel moved.

With Guan Yueyue as his mentor, he didn't want to call anyone else "master".

After a moment of silence, Qin Chuan clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Master Ma and Master Jia. I will definitely protect this heirloom and do my best to carry forward this lineage!"

"Good! Good!"

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Ma Yang and Jia Dahai smiled broadly and nodded in satisfaction.

As if he had thought of something, Qin Chuan took out a domino and handed it to Ma Yang.

"Although I didn't find anything else in the earth fire, this was previously in the earth fire and was together with the former peak master's pill fire."

These dominoes were the ones found in the underground fire last time. Qin Chuan had studied them several times, but he had never been able to figure them out.

This is very likely related to the former Danfeng Peak Master, which is why it was taken out.

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Ma Yang quickly took the dominoes and started looking at them with Jia Dahai.

After a long pause, Ma Yang shook his head and said, "I don't know much about these dominoes either, but I feel like I've seen the ancient characters on them somewhere before. Maybe if I show them to Master Wu, he might be able to find something useful."

"That's the only way." Qin Chuan nodded.

Next, Ma Yang and Jia Dahai talked about some past events, and after a while, Qin Chuan took his leave.

After Qin Chuan left, Jia Dahai's face showed excitement, but also some doubt.

"Senior brother, Qin Chuan's talent for alchemy is terrifying. We haven't given him any guidance at all, yet he can already refine fifth-grade pills and even create two pill patterns. He's just too monstrous."

Seeing Jia Dahai's puzzled expression, Ma Yang smiled and said, "Junior brother, let me ask you a question: even if Qin Chuan has some secrets, what impact do you think they would have on us?"

Jia Dahai thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It has no impact."

"That's it."

Ma Yang smiled and said, "Just like we said before, Qin Chuan is a man of excellent character and talent, and is the best candidate to inherit our lineage."

Regardless of what secrets he may hold, with his strength and talent in alchemy, his future achievements will certainly be extraordinary, and he may even be able to reclaim the remaining inheritance of the Medicine King.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "In that case, why bother digging deeper and uncovering this person's secrets?"

Jia Dahai looked enlightened and nodded, saying, "I understand, senior brother."

On the other side, Qin Chuan left the main hall of Danfeng and was asked the same question by Empress Yaoxi as he walked on the road.

"Your performance this time is too outrageous. You only refined a fourth-grade pill more than ten days ago, and now you have refined a fifth-grade pill with pill patterns. I'm afraid those two..." Empress Yaoxi said worriedly.

Qin Chuan smiled calmly and explained, "It's alright. Even if they suspect I might have a secret, it won't cause any problems."

Empress Yaoxi asked curiously, "Why?"

"Because of interests."

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "I once read a sentence in an ancient book: There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests."

Since I have no vested interests with either of them, they naturally won't do anything to me.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Moreover, now that I've become the successor of their lineage, the stronger I am, the better it is for them. Naturally, they won't do anything to me."

This is also why they didn't ask me how I was able to refine a fifth-grade pill inside the hall.

Empress Yaoxi was silent for a moment, then said, "Hmph! It seems you're quite cunning at such a young age."

"Cough cough..."

Qin Chuan was immediately taken aback by those words and could only shake his head with a wry smile.

As the young master of the Qin family, he naturally had to constantly outwit and outmaneuver others. If he weren't smart, he would probably have been devoured long ago, leaving not even bones behind.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan smiled slightly, offered no further explanation, and headed straight for Fallen Leaf Peak.
