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

In the plaza where the alchemist advancement trial was being held, tens of thousands of eyes were focused on one person at a time.

As time slowly passed, Fang Yuyan also arrived at this place.

Looking at Qin Chuan from afar, she frowned slightly and glanced at him carefully, but he still seemed unfamiliar to her.

But strangely, even in this unfamiliar place, she felt a sense of familiarity.

Until another day, two days passed...

Even on the third day!

Fang Yuyan's eyes were noticeably serious, and by the end, they revealed a look of shock.

She naturally knew about the three realms of plants and trees, and now that she saw Qin Chuan constantly imprinting himself there, how could she not see the astonishing nature of this realm?

At one point, the light screen in front of Qin Chuan suddenly distorted, and no more herbs materialized.

Seeing this, he frowned and slowly raised his head.

At that moment, the surroundings were extremely quiet.

Everyone stared intently at the light screen in front of Qin Chuan. Di Yun gasped and suddenly stood up.

The seven old men beside him also stood up, their expressions showing disbelief.

"All branding complete..."

"All the herbs here were personally inscribed by Master Dan Chen. No one has ever been able to complete the entire list in a thousand years. Just what kind of prodigy is this person?!"

As an old man's voice rang out, the murmurs that had been suppressed for days by all the medicine boys around them erupted completely in that instant.

"No more questions... How is this possible?! This person has managed to find no answers!"

"Unheard of in history..."

"Could this Wang Xueyi be destined to become another rising star in my Wen Dan lineage?!"

"..."

Amidst the uproar, Qin Chuan's eyes were dry, so he slowly closed them and rubbed his temples.

He lost track of how long he had been sitting there until the moment the image disappeared, at which point he was completely detached from the scene.

Although I was exhausted, the information about plants and trees in my mind was even more active.

It felt like encountering an invisible barrier, about to be broken through at any moment.

But it was just a hair's breadth away...

With each impact, things eventually calmed down.

Qin Chuan sensed this barrier, but he was unaware that it was an invisible membrane.

Once he breaks through, his mastery of plants will reach an astonishing level.

That is the highest realm of plants... knowing the formula by smelling the elixir!

With a pill in hand, its formula will appear.

Only a master alchemist with a red furnace can achieve this level of skill!

Taking a deep breath, Fang Yuyan stared blankly at Qin Chuan. Even just seeing this person made her feel irritated.

But she had to admit that Wang Xueyi was the most talented person she had ever met before, a true prodigy when it came to knowledge of plants!

Amidst the surrounding commotion, Qin Chuan slowly stood up.

As he stood up, the surroundings immediately fell silent.

All eyes were fixed on Qin Chuan, filled with complex emotions: envy, shock, and even jealousy…

Ignoring these gazes, Qin Chuan looked weary as he looked at Di Yun and the others.

After bowing with clasped hands, he stepped out from behind the table and sat cross-legged in a corner.

"Five hours later, the second and final round of trials for advancing to the rank of alchemist will begin."

"Out of ten people, one will be chosen to become an alchemist. You will have five hours to rest during this second round of testing on the technique of activating alchemy, but you are not allowed to leave."

Taking a deep breath, Di Yun glanced around at everyone, finally fixing his gaze on Qin Chuan, and slowly began to speak.

The others had already rested, and he was mainly speaking to Qin Chuan.

Fang Yuyan kept staring at Qin Chuan, the shock in her eyes still lingering.

Although she felt irritated whenever she saw Qin Chuan.

However, one has to admit that Wang Xueyi in front of him does indeed have extraordinary qualities.

"Mastery of herbs and plants is only one part of becoming a master alchemist; one must also consider whether the person has the aptitude for alchemy."

"This involves catalysis, control of profound energy, and even cultivation level; it is not something that can be easily acquired."

"I want to see if this person can be this amazing all the way!"

Fang Yuyan felt somewhat resentful, and the more she looked at Qin Chuan, the more displeased she became.

As for the reason, even she herself couldn't give a clear answer...

Of the 20,000 apprentices around, none chose to leave; they were all whispering amongst themselves.

Of the ten sentences spoken, seven or eight will discuss Qin Chuan.

The remaining two or three sentences are the nine people who stood out in the first round.

Everyone is speculating about who will win the trial to become a master alchemist!

At this moment, all nine people were very nervous, sitting cross-legged in the square, even though they were in excellent condition.

They also need to constantly circulate their internal cultivation to maintain their peak condition in order to participate in the tests that will determine their second round of competition.

Even in the first round, Qin Chuan crushed everyone else, far surpassing them.

Even so, there is no difference between first and tenth place, because they are both qualified to participate in the second round.

It can be said that we've returned to the same starting point.

This second round is the most important one!

Surpassing Qin Chuan was not impossible in the eyes of the remaining nine people.

After all, no matter how much someone knows about plants, it has nothing to do with catalyzing medicinal herbs.

Taking a deep breath, the nine people sat down to meditate, recalling their various catalytic experiences over the years.

Gradually, everyone's hearts settled down.

Qin Chuan kept his eyes closed the whole time, and he didn't actually expend much of his profound energy.

As for the fatigue, it did not come from the body, but from the mind's plundering of the plant-based talents of the Ghost Face Flower, causing dizziness.

After resting for a while, my mind has calmed down...

Five hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The moment the break ended, Di Yun's voice suddenly echoed across the square.

"The second round of trials begins. Please step forward!"

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and pressed it against the alchemy furnace beside him.

In an instant, the square shook violently.

The 20,000 apprentices around them were momentarily stunned, but when everything became clear, they all took a deep breath.

The square is still the same square, but those 20,000 desks have vanished without a trace.

Instead, there were ten stone platforms, each two zhang high.

These ten stone platforms stand tall, and as their light spreads, they naturally attract attention.

Almost the instant these stone platforms appeared.

The nine people, excluding Qin Chuan, swayed and leaped up, landing on the stone platform.

At this moment, everyone's gazes were focused on them, and the nine people could not hide their excitement.

But they were, after all, the best of the best, having emerged from among 20,000 apprentice medicine children.

After a moment of excitement, he quickly suppressed it, and a determined look appeared on his face.

Qin Chuan opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them in that instant.

He had calmed all the throbbing pain in his head.

And the plant-based talents of the Ghost Face Flower have completely merged with him, becoming inseparable!

"I am determined to have this alchemist!"

A resolute glint flashed in Qin Chuan's eyes. He stood up, took a step, and appeared on the last stone platform.

His arrival immediately silenced the surroundings.

Countless eyes were focused on witnessing this advancement to Alchemist.

Who... will ultimately become a master alchemist?!
