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

In other words, the reason why alchemists hold such a high position in the alchemy sect is that alchemists are highly respected.

There are many reasons for this, all stemming from the ban on elixirs.

This order serves as a powerful deterrent for many.

This is why the disciples of the Purple Qi lineage are not too arrogant even when they see medicine boys.

The ban on elixirs has only one purpose.

Once used, it will prevent any alchemist from refining pills for the inner disciples of the Purple Qi lineage for a hundred years.

This is tantamount to adding it to the list of forbidden crafting methods.

This decree has been in effect for a hundred years. It is the rule of the Wendan Sect and a unique feature of the Wendan lineage.

It is precisely because of the existence of this decree that alchemists hold an extremely high status within the Alchemy Sect.

No one would want to offend an alchemist.

Because of the ban on alchemy, offending one alchemist is equivalent to offending all alchemists.

Throughout history, no alchemist has ever used this right, since no one would turn down money.

Over the past thousand years, only a few hundred people have been recorded.

For tens of thousands of inner disciples, this is really not many.

After all, this order is a deterrent to alchemists if they don't use it lightly.

Once it has been used twice, the deterrent effect will naturally disappear.

All the names that were forbidden to refine pills within a century were branded in the pill-banning order.

Qin Chuan became a master alchemist in the Wen Dan lineage, enjoying this right while also fulfilling the regulations.

At this moment, the twenty-three alchemists here who are forbidden from alchemy are also unable to have Qin Chuan refine pills for them.

After playing with the forbidden pill token for a moment, Qin Chuan put it away.

After hesitating for a moment, he took out a sound transmission talisman, imprinted it inside his body, and then flicked it out.

The sound transmission talisman burned in mid-air and disappeared in an instant.

Not long after, a sound came from outside the cave, and Qin Chuan raised a finger with his right hand.

The stone door to the cave immediately opened, and a young girl walked in.

The girl looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old and was quite pretty.

Upon entering the cave, she wrinkled her nose slightly, as if choked by the smell of the furnace inside.

"Master Wang, I was wondering yesterday why you hadn't changed your alchemy furnace..."

The girl smiled, took out a new alchemy furnace from her storage ring, and handed it to Qin Chuan.

The girl's name was Lin Man, and she was in charge of all the daily needs of the alchemists.

Despite her low cultivation level, she is said to be the granddaughter of a certain alchemist.

In addition, she was not disliked in daily life, and some alchemists even had feelings for her.

Over time, this woman delivered everything the alchemist needed.

For example, Qin Chuan came a total of six times in seven days, except for yesterday.

"Cough cough..."

Qin Chuan coughed awkwardly. Just as he put away the alchemy furnace, the girl handed him a jade tube.

How much do I owe?

Qin Chuan glanced at the jade tube and pretended to look worried.

"Including today's amount, a total of 1,200 Spirit Essence Pills need to be handed over to the sect."

The girl winked playfully and spoke with a smile.

Seemingly remembering something, she comforted her, "It's alright, you don't owe that much. The biggest debtor owes 132,000 pills, and they'll probably have to spend their whole lives refining pills to pay it off..."

Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, sighing inwardly at what it was like to become an alchemist.

The alchemy furnace, herbs, and elixir formulas—each of these costs a considerable amount of money.

The sect can provide as much as needed, but it won't be free; it will compensate by refining pills.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate that his past self hadn't had too many troubles in this regard during the process of refining medicine.

Because the herbs haven't been used up yet, some inconsiderate creatures will come to their deaths...

Putting these thoughts aside, Qin Chuan took the jade tube, branded it, and then handed it to the girl.

"Master Wang, you'd better work harder... Don't you think you should contribute some? That way I can give you an answer." Lin Man said with a smile.

In the lineage of alchemy, in her opinion, the youngest alchemist was none other than Wang Xueyi, who stood before her.

Perhaps because they are the same age, Lin Man always makes a few teasing remarks whenever she comes here.

She became even more excited when she saw Qin Chuan blushing and looking shy.

Shaking his head, Qin Chuan picked up a jade bottle beside him containing six Spirit Essence Pills and casually handed it to the girl.

This was the first time he had handed over elixirs.

This second-grade Spirit Essence Pill was something Qin Chuan had managed to refine in his spare time over the past seven days, specifically to deal with this situation.

"Giggle..."

The girl covered her mouth and chuckled, then took the pill and turned to leave.

After the girl left, Qin Chuan closed the stone door of the cave and immediately entered the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace space.

He had no worries about alchemy; he just needed to avoid being too sensational and to advance to the main furnace as soon as possible.

He understood that in order to find information about the tenth-grade spiritual medicine and to meet Master Dan Chen as soon as possible...

They must all undergo this rigorous promotion process to reach the higher level of Master Alchemist!

Shaking his head, Qin Chuan closed his eyes and began to circulate the Boundless Void Technique within his body.

Besides alchemy, he also needs to improve his cultivation level as soon as possible.

We've been in the Profound King Realm for far too long now.

Once he breaks through to the Profound Emperor Realm, he believes his strength will definitely experience a qualitative leap!

Time passed slowly, and a year went by in the blink of an eye inside the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace.

During this year, due to the continuous accumulation of previous efforts, Qin Chuan naturally progressed from the mid-stage of the Ninth Heaven of the Profound King Realm to the late-stage.

Although it hasn't reached its peak yet, it shouldn't be too long...

Just then, Qin Chuan's expression suddenly changed, and he flipped his wrist, looking sharply at the Blood Immortal Mask in his hand.

At that moment, the weak voice of the Wang family patriarch appeared in Qin Chuan's mind.

"Kid, this Blood Soul is suddenly showing signs of mental fluctuation; it seems it's not far from awakening!"

"I'm seriously injured this time and will be unable to control the Blood Immortal Mask for at least seven days. You... must... be careful!"

The voice of the Wang family patriarch grew weaker and weaker until it disappeared completely.

It's unclear whether it has fallen into a deep sleep or is resisting the mental fluctuations of the Blood Kirin.

At the same time, Qin Chuan's face changed like flowing water, revealing another face.

It wasn't Fang Teng, but Qin Chuan's true appearance.

"Wang Xueyi, open the cave, I need to talk to you!"

But just then, Fang Yuyan's voice came from outside Qin Chuan's cave!

"Damn it, why now..." Qin Chuan frowned, his face looking rather grim.

At this moment, his appearance was no longer the same as before, but had returned to his original form.

Besides his delicate features, he also possessed a touch of dashing elegance, and within his dark pupils lay a hint of coldness.

Qin Chuan's eyes flickered, and after a moment of contemplation, he ignored the voice coming from outside the cave.

"Wang Xueyi!"

Outside the cave, Fang Yuyan frowned and spoke again.

Her purpose in coming here was to thoroughly observe Wang Xueyi and find out why he annoyed her.

But now the cave entrance is tightly closed, and there is no sound of Wang Xueyi inside.

This made Fang Yuyan glare at her, and she snorted coldly inwardly.

Before coming here, she had learned that Wang Xueyi had not left his cave at all recently.

Lin Man had even delivered the alchemy furnace just two days ago.

Why can other women come, but she can't?
