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

What is the origin of this gun?

Zhao Ling'er asked curiously.

"origin?"

Ma Yongnian chuckled and said in a deep voice, "This has quite a history. It is said that Ye Taobai and his inner disciples encountered an evil person while they were out purchasing supplies."

This person actually sold a broken gun as a treasure to Senior Brother Ye, who was almost the strongest in the inner sect!

Moreover, he sold so much that he went bankrupt; that Senior Brother Ye is truly pitiful.

He used all his savings and even owed his fellow disciples a considerable amount of spirit crystals to buy this spear, treating it like a treasure.

After examining the treasured spear, Elder Mo was immediately enraged. "Tell me, how wicked was that man who sold the spear!"

Ma Yongnian sighed repeatedly, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"How could it be so evil? It's simply too much!"

Zhao Ling'er was stunned and also exclaimed in amazement.

She glanced at the gun; it seemed like an ordinary object no matter how you looked at it.

I really can't understand why Senior Brother Ye from the inner sect would spend such a huge price to buy it.

Qin Chuan felt very guilty and awkwardly touched his nose. Seeing Ma Yongnian looking at him, he quickly nodded seriously.

"This person is utterly wicked; this kind of thing is simply outrageous!"

He immediately spoke up, expressing his agreement.

Originally, Qin Chuan only wanted to attract the attention of the disciples of the Wen Dan Sect, and then sell it at any price.

Then, by taking advantage of the situation, they could establish a connection and thus gain access to the teleportation array.

But unexpectedly, Lu Tie knew Ye Taobai and refused to give in at all, which led to the bids getting higher and higher.

But he never expected that this influence would spread to the entire Wen Dan Sect.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Ye Taobai.

"This gun stands here as a warning to future generations, so that all disciples of the Wen Dan Sect will remember this matter firmly..."

Ma Yongnian shook his head and sighed.

"Who sold this gun?" Zhao Ling'er asked, her curiosity growing.

"His name is Fang Teng!"

Ma Yongnian said in a low voice, "It has been found out that this person is the champion of the Alchemist Competition of the Qianyang Dynasty. It is said that his alchemy skills are extremely extraordinary."

After the competition ended, he suddenly left, and was only found again in Tianxiu City.

I heard that he came to the territory of the Wendan Sect along with others, and now Senior Brother Ye and the others are searching the whole world for him.

"Fang Teng?"

Zhao Linger was stunned.

"Shh, keep your voice down. This name is taboo in the Dan Sect. No one dares to say it out loud..." Ma Yongnian quickly reminded him.

Standing to the side, Qin Chuan became increasingly guilty and coughed repeatedly.

Just as he was about to change the subject, his pupils suddenly contracted as he saw a long streak of light rapidly approaching from afar, instantly drawing near to their location.

Inside the rainbow was a young man, his face ashen, glaring fiercely at Ma Yongnian.

This person was none other than Ye Taobai!

"Ma Yongnian, what are you doing here? Get out of here right now!"

Ma Yongnian shuddered, a fawning expression creeping onto his face, and quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Senior Brother Ye, Master Sun asked me to take two apprentice medicine boys to familiarize themselves with the sect. I'll be leaving now, I'll be leaving now..."

As he spoke, he quickly called to Qin Chuan and Zhao Ling'er to leave the place.

After walking a distance, Ma Yongnian gave his earnest instructions.

"See that? He's Senior Brother Ye who bought the broken gun before. You must never mention Fang Teng's name in front of him again."

"Otherwise, he might go berserk!"

"Also, if you ever leave the sect for training in the future, be extra careful if you encounter that person named Fang Teng. He is a very wicked man!"

Zhao Ling'er's mouth was slightly open, her face still showing some disbelief, but she quickly nodded, clearly having memorized those words.

"correct!"

As if remembering something, Ma Yongnian suddenly said, "There is another name that is taboo in our sect. You must remember this and never mention it casually!"

Qin Chuan was taken aback, a vague premonition in his heart, understanding what the other party was about to say.

"Who else?" Zhao Ling'er asked curiously.

"Qin Chuan!"

Taking a deep breath, Ma Yongnian earnestly instructed, "You know this Qin Chuan, right?"

His reputation had already spread throughout the Southern Region.

The son-in-law of the Li family, the owner of the Daoist scripture, and the rumored Daoist partner of Senior Sister Fang!

At this point, he looked around and whispered, "The name Qin Chuan is also taboo; it must never be mentioned."

Several disciples had mentioned this name before, and it was overheard by Senior Sister Fang after she came out of seclusion.

She hung them from the tree for days and nights; if it weren't for their teacher pleading on their behalf, this matter probably wouldn't have ended so easily!

Zhao Ling'er covered her mouth in surprise and exclaimed, "Is this Senior Sister Fang really that powerful?"

Ma Yongnian rolled his eyes at her and said indifferently, "Senior Sister Fang is the younger sister of the Fang family's Daoist, and she is already a disciple of Master Danchen before she has even become a Purple Furnace Alchemist."

Within the sect, not only ordinary disciples, but even some elders dare not easily provoke them!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ling'er immediately pecked at rice like a chicken, quickly indicating that she understood.

Qin Chuan nodded, but a bitter smile rose in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the two people this sect least wanted to mention were himself...

"Alright, I'll take you to collect your cultivation techniques and identity tokens, and then arrange your accommodations."

Ma Yongnian gave them another word of advice before leading Qin Chuan and Zhao Ling'er away into the distance.

"You must have some cultivation foundation to have been able to join the Wen Dan Sect."

"As apprentice medicine practitioners, you only need to learn one technique."

"This technique is called Spirit-Enhancing Technique. It allows some common herbs to be nourished by their own profound energy, thereby accelerating their growth."

"The effects of triggering vary depending on the level of cultivation and proficiency."

As Ma Yongnian spoke, he led Qin Chuan and Zhao Ling'er to another valley.

There were noticeably more people here; in the vast valley, there were hundreds of young medicine boys.

Most of them were sitting cross-legged in meditation, with herbs swaying in their palms, seemingly growing slowly.

In front of these people stood a middle-aged man whose status was clearly much higher.

He was now explaining the technique to everyone with a serious expression.

In the palm of his hand that he raised, there was a medicinal herb growing rapidly.

Before long, it grew to a full two feet in size.

His gaze swept around, and Qin Chuan looked at the herbs belonging to these people, a strange light appearing in his eyes.

Following Ma Yongnian, we arrived at the middle of the valley, where there was an old man in a gray robe.

The old man was unremarkable in appearance and showed no signs of cultivation; he appeared to be asleep with his eyes closed.

Seeing this, Ma Yongnian shook his head, as if he was already used to it.

He stepped forward to brand his identity, then took out two storage rings and handed them to Qin Chuan and Zhao Ling'er respectively.

This storage ring contained an identity token, a bag of herb seeds, and a purple jade tube.

"Both of you should give it a try. This technique is very simple, and you should be able to grasp it quickly."

"Then you will conduct your first activation here. This is very important; it is to test your aptitude for alchemy, and it must be recorded."

As the two looked down to examine their storage rings, Ma Yongnian spoke seriously.
