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

In just a short while, the middle-aged man's face gradually turned pale, and his body trembled more and more.

His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

The earth spirit wood in Qin Chuan's palm had already exceeded one zhang in size.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, and everyone stared blankly at Qin Chuan.

The first round of plant-based talents had already horrified them.

But now, this is the situation regarding catalysis.

This caused everyone to look at Qin Chuan with deep shock.

But the matter was not over yet. Qin Chuan looked at the earth spirit wood in front of him, a determined glint in his eyes.

"Since we're going to be flamboyant, let's be flamboyant to the fullest extent!"

"I'm also very curious to know, with this catalytic technique, to what extent can the Earth Spirit Wood be catalyzed!"

Qin Chuan's eyes flashed, and his right hand suddenly unleashed profound power, continuously surging into the Earth Spirit Wood.

However, he still kept himself within the Great Mystic Master realm, because even if he was flamboyant, he wouldn't get carried away.

One and a half zhang, two zhang...

Gradually, the earth spirit tree grew to a height of three zhang (approximately 10 meters) before ceasing to change.

Instead, it begins to thicken and harden... becoming a complete tree!

This huge tree seemed to have grown in Qin Chuan's hands, making him the sole focus of attention in this place!

Furthermore, under this impetus, the earth spirit tree...

And now, at this very moment, it has blossomed and borne fruit!

It was an earthy yellow spiritual fruit that immediately emitted a rich aura the moment it appeared.

In that instant, Fang Yuyan opened her beautiful eyes wide, revealing an expression of disbelief.

Di Yun suddenly stood up, and the other elders all changed their expressions and stood up as well.

"The Earth Spirit Tree blossoms and bears Earth Spirit Fruit!!"

"It's incredible that a Grandmaster cultivator like him could do that!"

The 20,000 apprentices surrounding the area were now in an uproar.

The remaining nine people had blank stares and their faces were ashen.

As medicine apprentices, they naturally understood what it meant to make the Earth Spirit Tree bloom and bear fruit.

"Earth Spirit Wood is a herb used to refine fifth-grade pills, but its fruit, which is the essence of the Earth Spirit Wood, is used to refine sixth-grade pills!"

"Wang Xueyi actually managed to do that."

It should be noted that the catalysis technique is suitable for herbs of grade four and below, and there are not many grade five herbs that can be catalyzed.

As for the herbs required for the sixth grade, they are almost impossible to catalyze.

But he... actually managed to cultivate such an Earth Spirit Fruit!

Amidst the uproar around him, Qin Chuan took a deep breath and flicked his right hand.

The earth spirit tree above trembled, as if it had lost its source, and began to wither.

But in the instant it withered, Qin Chuan grabbed the Earth Spirit Wood Fruit with his left hand.

Without the slightest hesitation, he placed it into his storage ring in front of everyone.

Even after the three-zhang-tall earth spirit tree had completely withered, a buzzing sound still lingered all around.

Qin Chuan leaped down and landed on the high platform.

"The one who has been promoted to Alchemist this time is Wang Xueyi!"

Taking a deep breath, Di Yun gave Qin Chuan a long look, then slowly spoke, his voice carrying throughout the surroundings.

It spread from this square, as if emanating from the alchemy furnace, permeating all the valleys of the Wen Dan lineage.

This meant that all 30,000 remaining apprentices outside heard these words in that instant!

……

Seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.

It was still in the valley of Jia Yi Gu.

It is not by the stream, but at the foot of the mountain on the right side of the valley.

A winding path stretches into the mountains.

There exists a cave dwelling there.

The cave's stone gate is blue-green, and the surrounding clouds and mist add to its mystique.

Standing here, one can overlook the valleys, where not only is the spiritual energy abundant, but there is also an unformed volcanic field within the mountain's interior.

This place is the cave dwelling that Qin Chuan was given by the sect after he became an alchemist.

Only alchemists are allowed to live halfway up the mountain.

Completely separated from the medicine apprentice area, they enjoy the same treatment as alchemists as the sect.

Furthermore, they can employ medicine boys as assistants, and the sect will even provide many prescriptions and herbs for a fee.

The only thing required is to hand over a certain amount of pills every month.

However, if one wishes to obtain rare herbs and elixirs, one must hand over more elixirs.

In short, the more pills one hands over, the greater the rewards within the sect.

Even after becoming an alchemist, one can still exchange items with other alchemists.

All of these actions are aimed at improving their alchemy skills so that they can refine higher-grade pills!

On this day, a rumbling sound came from Qin Chuan's cave.

Even with the stone gate blocking its view, the sound still traveled a long way.

However, none of the medicine boys in the valley below dared to say anything.

But when she looked up at Qin Chuan's cave, her eyes held a hint of envy.

During these seven days, after Qin Chuan became an alchemist, such booming sounds were heard from time to time...

Inside the cave, Qin Chuan, covered in soot, flicked his sleeves and piled the fragments of the alchemy furnaces into the corner.

"You have the skill to refine sixth-grade pills, so how come you keep causing your furnace to explode when refining second-grade pills?"

Inside the Blood Immortal Mask, the Wang family patriarch looked puzzled and couldn't help but complain.

Qin Chuan smiled and explained, "If I were to become an incredibly skilled alchemist right after being promoted from a medicine apprentice to an alchemist, it would be hard to guarantee that people wouldn't suspect me."

Only by being half-true and half-false can one remain unpredictable and avoid putting oneself in danger.

Upon hearing this, the Wang family patriarch shook his head and sighed, "Sometimes I really wonder if you are the reincarnation of some thousand-year-old tortoise."

Otherwise, where would such deep cunning come from?

Qin Chuan smiled without saying a word, taking it as a compliment from the old man.

"However, the path to advancement in the Dan Sect is truly rigorous..."

With a wry smile and a shake of his head, Qin Chuan murmured softly.

He wore a blue robe with a small alchemy furnace embroidered on the cuff, signifying his identity as an alchemist.

Although I have now become an alchemist, I do not have much power.

There was simply no way to find out the whereabouts of the tenth-grade spiritual medicine.

As for that Master Dan Chen, he had never even seen a ghost.

According to Ma Yongnian, even a Purple Furnace Alchemist cannot easily meet Master Dan Chen…

"Looks like we need to think of another way; we can't keep dragging this on..."

Qin Chuan's eyes flickered as he thought to himself.

"However, becoming an alchemist still comes with its own set of special features, such as this token..."

With a thought, a white token immediately appeared in his hand.

The token felt cold to the touch, resembling jade but not quite, with an alchemy furnace carved on one side.

On the other side is a vermilion "forbidden" character.

"A ban on elixirs!"

Qin Chuan looked at the token, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

This wasn't the first time he had handled the token.

Every time I handle it, a sense of respect for the status of alchemists wells up in my heart.

While the promotion process seems incredibly rigorous, it also elevates the status of alchemists to a higher level.

This is a ban on elixirs.

This order will be issued by the sect after the medicine apprentice is promoted to alchemist.

One person, one order; one order can be used twice.

Each use of it fully demonstrates the alchemist's high status.

This was enough to terrify the disciples of the Purple Lineage!
