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

"Could there be a mistake?"

Qin Chuan frowned and pretended to hesitate.

"impossible!"

Ma Yongnian shook his head and affirmed, "Elder Di personally inspected it, how could there be any error?"

He's probably already taken the herbs to find the other elders.

Haha... Junior Brother Wang, you're going to be famous now!

"Come, come, I'll take you to Jia Yi Valley. It's said to be a paradise on earth. I've only ever been able to peek at it from the outside; I've never dared to go in."

As he spoke, Ma Yongnian pulled Qin Chuan away.

The whispers and stares behind them echoed even after the two had disappeared from sight…

……

Time flies, and eight days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Qin Chuan is now quite familiar with the Dan-seeking lineage of the Dan-seeking sect.

Najia Valley is very large, but there are not many people, significantly fewer than in other valleys.

The valley is picturesque with clear waters and lush mountains, and a stream flows from a distant mountain ravine.

The water was very clear, and you could even see some fish and shrimp playing.

Qin Chuan's house was a pavilion with a courtyard on the east side of this stream.

There is also a medicinal herb field in the courtyard where medicinal herbs can be grown.

At this moment, Qin Chuan sat cross-legged in the courtyard, holding a bamboo tube woven from wooden strips.

The surface is covered with densely engraved characters and some pictures, all of which are information about medicinal herbs.

After a while, Qin Chuan put down the bamboo tube, raised his head, smelled the fragrance of herbs all around, and listened to the sound of flowing water.

Looking at the thin white mist all around him, he couldn't help but recall what Ma Yongnian had said before.

While calling it a paradise on earth might be an exaggeration, it is indeed a good place for self-cultivation.

This place, in particular, is the number one in the entire Medicine Boy Valley.

During this time, Qin Chuan also discovered that he was qualified to live here.

Including him, there were fewer than fifty people.

These young apprentices rarely went out; they mostly stayed in their own rooms.

You can either cultivate your skills, plant crops, or try to refine medicine.

The tranquility of this place made Qin Chuan feel very comfortable, as if his soul had been cleansed.

There was a sense that pulled him away from the carnage of Guiyun City, and he gradually calmed down.

"Ten thousand medicinal herbs, categorized and different in various ways, must not only be remembered in appearance, but also in their properties."

"In addition, you need to know how to harvest, how to plant, how to store, which herbs should not be confused, and you also need to remember their growing environment."

"Especially some herbs, the leaves, stems and juices each have their own effects and are different. They can even have more variations when mixed with other herbs."

"In this way, it may seem like 100,000, but the changes involved are no less than a million..."

Taking a deep breath, Qin Chuan slowly rubbed his temples.

Although the Yuan Dan Book contains countless pill formulas, its information on basic medicinal herbs is far less detailed than that found here.

During this period, Qin Chuan also crammed a lot of knowledge in this area.

This is something that every disciple of the Wendan Sect needs to remember.

But there is too much information, so it is impossible to imprint it into one's mind; one can only try to remember it by sheer effort.

However, the more you remember, the more confident you will be when you encounter the same situation in the future.

There is no shortcut to this matter.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Furnace existed, so not too much time had passed in the outside world...

There is no fighting, no danger, no storms here.

Qin Chuan even deliberately forgot about the past and immersed himself in the identity of Wang Xueyi.

Here at the Wendan Sect, one can enjoy tranquility.

As time went by, whenever he saw information about these herbs, it was as if images would appear in his mind.

This feeling is as if he already knew it; it's an innate talent!

Time flies, and seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Qin Chuan has been at the Wen Dan Sect for a full half month and has completely adapted to life here.

Although they were initially assessed as having top-tier qualifications and received some privileges that others could not enjoy.

However, he was not valued by the important figures he had imagined, and in the past two weeks, he had not even seen the old man in the gray robe.

On the contrary, Ma Yongnian often came to Qin Chuan.

With this person present, Qin Chuan's understanding of the Wen Dan Sect was accelerated.

As for the daily explanations of the cultivation techniques, Qin Chuan would attend them on time. Among the hundreds or thousands of apprentice medicine boys, he was inconspicuous.

Every few days, different elders from the sect would come to give such explanations.

Everyone has a different perspective, and after listening, Qin Chuan gained a deeper understanding of the technique of activating energy.

Besides that, there's the cultivation of medicinal herbs. The sect has a special place where these apprentice herbalists learn how to cultivate them.

The atmosphere throughout the sect was extremely peaceful.

There was no fighting or killing, which sometimes made Qin Chuan feel disoriented, as if this place didn't resemble a sect.

It's more like... an academic institution!

Every seven days, there is a large-scale lecture on medicine, given by experienced alchemists.

These people all came from the ranks of medicine apprentices. Their sermons not only included talk about medicinal herbs, but also some simple methods for making medicine.

Qin Chuan listened twice and benefited greatly.

In addition to their studies, as apprentice medicine practitioners, they also learn how to cultivate medicinal herbs.

Each month, a fixed task of accelerating the growth of herbs must be completed, and the herbs must be handed over to the sect after they have been accelerated.

Within the entire lineage of alchemy practitioners, the levels of medicine apprentices are clearly distinct and form their own cycles.

……

"The medicine apprentice is responsible for a series of tasks such as production, harvesting, and stimulating growth. Their main task is to serve the entire sect's vast alchemy system."

"At the same time, the most direct targets are the nearly one thousand alchemists within the sect..."

Qin Chuan sat cross-legged in the square, surrounded by many other young medicine boys like him.

Looking around, it was a dense, bustling mass.

At this moment, everyone looked at the middle-aged man in front of them, listening attentively to his explanation.

"Joining the Pill Refining Sect was the right choice; it will allow me to further improve my alchemy skills!"

"However, we still need to start searching for tenth-grade spiritual herbs as soon as possible..."

Qin Chuan seemed to be deep in thought, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Unfortunately, Master Dan Chen is elusive and we have no idea where he is. We'll probably have to wait until the day he accepts a disciple to see him..."

With a furrowed brow, Qin Chuan murmured to himself.

I came here to consult the Dan Sect for two things.

One task is to search for a tenth-grade spiritual medicine, and then to rescue Guan Yueyue.

Another thing is to contact Master Dan Chen and ask him to help untie the Ghost Face Flower.

As I was pondering this, a series of bell tolls suddenly echoed in the sky.

The sound of the bell spread rapidly, resounding throughout all the valleys of the Wen Dan lineage, causing all the young apprentices to raise their heads.

Even the middle-aged man giving the sermon looked up.

At this moment, in all the valleys of the Dan-seeking lineage, the young disciples all showed excitement as they looked up.

"The furnace bell is ringing; is it time to enter the Immortal Realm of Seeking Elixir?"

"I remember the last time was a year ago. I never thought that this time, only a year had passed, and I would be able to enter the Immortal Realm again!"

As the surrounding chatter echoed, the resounding chime of the enormous bell spread in all directions.

Qin Chuan's eyes flashed, and when he focused his gaze, he saw a phantom image appear in mid-air!
