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

It was a huge cyan alchemy furnace, hundreds of feet in size, standing tall between heaven and earth.

It's incredibly magnificent!

Beside this alchemy furnace, several long rainbows flew out rapidly from the valley below, sitting cross-legged around the furnace as if guarding it.

At the same time, a array of beams of light crisscrossed the sky, as if to envelop the heavens.

When the light shines brightly and surrounds all directions.

The cultivators in mid-air and the enormous alchemy furnace intertwined to create a scene of vibrant colors.

"Fifty thousand apprentices, all entered the immortal land to pick the mature herbs!"

A weathered voice came from who-knows-where.

As the light echoed around, the enormous alchemy furnace in mid-air suddenly flashed.

It actually dispersed into tens of thousands of rays of light, heading straight down.

At the same time, the identity token at Qin Chuan's waist emitted a light.

Not only his, but all the medicine apprentices' identity tokens were like this.

As if echoing each other, those rays of light descended separately.

At this moment, a beam of light descended from Qin Chuan's location, merging with the token and transforming into a pulling force that slowly lifted him into the air.

Meanwhile, from the fifty valleys surrounding them, fifty thousand medicine boys rose into the air.

Guided by the light, everyone transformed into a long rainbow, heading straight for the enormous alchemy furnace.

This hundreds-of-foot-long alchemy furnace was like a bottomless pit, instantly accommodating 50,000 young medicine practitioners.

Qin Chuan's vision blurred for a moment, but when everything became clear, he saw the scene before him and couldn't help but gasp.

For him to have such an expression speaks volumes about the astonishment of this place.

Before Qin Chuan lay a vast medicinal field that stretched as far as the eye could see.

This place is like a world unto itself.

The sky was a hazy gray, without a single cloud, yet both the sun and the moon were present.

Under such a sky, the herbs here are in a special environment.

While providing suitable conditions for growth, it also makes this place seem like it's been sealed off.

As soon as Qin Chuan stepped inside, he could smell an indescribable, rich medicinal fragrance.

The flavor is so strong it's almost intoxicating.

Of the 50,000 medicine boys around, most of them had obviously been here before.

While people are excited these days, few are as awestruck as Qin Chuan.

Besides that, what shocked Qin Chuan even more was the seemingly endless medicinal herb field.

And on the earth, there were thousands of giants, each hundreds of feet tall.

These giants, like ancient remnants, are now strode through the medicinal herb fields.

The movements were subtle; they were actually planting!

Even further away, Qin Chuan saw a large tree that was dozens of feet tall.

The tree was entirely green, but instead of a crown, it had a huge, single eye at the top, scanning the surroundings.

Qin Chuan glanced around and saw no fewer than several hundred trees like these in the endless medicinal fields.

"The Immortal Land of Inquiry into Elixir, the sacred ground of our Inquiry into Elixir Sect and its lineage!"

At some point, Ma Yongnian squeezed next to Qin Chuan and spoke with considerable emotion.

"Legend has it that this place was originally a celestial land, which was moved here by the True Immortal Wen Dan, thus creating this endless medicinal field."

"As apprentice medicine gatherers, we are teleported here every so often. While picking herbs, we also have the opportunity to identify them."

"And in the entire Southern Region, only here can one see such a wide variety of almost endless medicinal herbs."

Ma Yongnian looked around, filled with emotion.

Just then, a weathered voice suddenly echoed in the sky.

This instantly silenced the chatter of the surrounding medicine boys.

"You have ten days to harvest mature herbs. The herbs you harvest must be ones that you know and fully understand the properties of."

"When the time is up, you need to hand in the branded jade tubes as part of the assessment for becoming a pill refiner. Let's begin!"

As the ancient voice echoed, the 50,000 young apprentices in the area took a deep breath and immediately dispersed.

Ma Yongnian did not travel the same route as Qin Chuan, but instead wandered around, disappearing without a trace.

At that moment, Qin Chuan's eyes flashed with excitement.

He has been studying herbal medicine books diligently during this period, and has already read through the 100,000 herbs in them several times.

Now is the perfect time to use this place to test what I've learned.

With a sway, Qin Chuan headed straight for the distance.

As the 50,000 medicine boys scattered, several figures suddenly appeared in the sky between the sun and the moon.

"See this little kid? He's Wang Xueyi, the one I tested and found to have top-tier aptitude half a month ago."

"Grade A quality is extremely rare. We all saw the herbs you brought last time, and they don't seem fake."

"That's right. If the herbs don't wither, this person is probably a genius and has a great chance of becoming a master alchemist."

"Even if the herbs wither, he is still a promising talent. Let's see how many herbs he can harvest."

If he also shows talent in identifying medicinal herbs, we can consider having him participate in the next advancement test.

As the figures conversed amidst the sun and moon, Qin Chuan had already left the crowd and was walking in the medicinal field.

He was very careful with every step, making sure not to step on the seedlings, and occasionally looked down at his surroundings.

"This is... Prunella vulgaris, similar to the description in the book, but why is the right side of this one more lush?"

"This is the leaf of the Bodhi tree, swaying gracefully like a woman's figure... It can be used in medicine to refine a fourth-grade Profound Pill..."

As Qin Chuan walked along, he not only identified the objects but also verified them against the contents of the books in his mind.

As time went by, he found it easier and easier to recognize, and a sense of joy filled his heart.

This feeling, though not from a breakthrough in cultivation that brought immense power.

But it was also the confidence that came from that invisible strength after filling some gaps in his previous alchemy skills.

In Qin Chuan's view, it seemed that he had an innate understanding of these herbs, as if it were a talent...

Qin Chuan walked further and further away, and whenever he saw a suitable herb to pick, he would immediately take it.

At the same time, he took out the jade tube and imprinted all the descriptions of the herb in his memory.

Gradually, with this constant confirmation, Qin Chuan felt right at home and forgot everything.

His eyes were fixed on this boundless, celestial land where he could identify medicinal herbs…

During the time Qin Chuan infiltrated the Wen Dan Sect, all the major sects and families in the entire Southern Region had not yet stopped their search.

This made the name Qin Chuan known to more and more cultivators.

There's also the name Fang Teng.

Because of winning the Qianyang Alchemist Competition and teasing the inner disciples of the Wendan Sect, his reputation gradually spread.

It can be said that the two most famous people in the Southern Region today are Qin Chuan and Fang Teng!

However, even today...

However, no one could find any trace of the two, as if they had vanished into thin air.

No one knew that Qin Chuan was the one who was causing a series of uproar in the outside world.

At this moment, he is like a toddler taking his first steps, earnestly exploring the immortal land of the Inquiry Elixir Sect.

Identify each medicinal herb to verify what you have learned.

Time passed slowly, and Qin Chuan forgot how many herbs he had gathered in this immortal land.

Anything he recognized that met the harvesting requirements was collected into the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace.
