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

"hateful!"

Lin Canghai's expression grew increasingly grim, and he suddenly raised his right hand and slammed it on the table.

"Among all the alchemists of the Wen Dan lineage, whoever can refine a pill that this brat cannot crush, I will immediately appoint him as the main alchemist!"

Seeing Zuoqiu's expressionless face, Lin Canghai was secretly furious and suddenly spoke.

These words echoed through the mountains, and even the alchemists at the foot of the mountain heard them.

After a moment of stunned silence, their eyes suddenly gleamed.

Even Qin Chuan's eyes narrowed instantly as he stared at Lin Canghai, his heart pounding.

The process of a master alchemist being promoted to head alchemist is extremely rigorous.

Unless there is a special promotion, at least ten years of experience is required.

They also need to submit over ten thousand pills to the sect before they are qualified.

But simply having the qualifications is not enough; ultimately, the approval of all the master alchemists is required.

And only by undergoing rigorous alchemy tests and overcoming numerous difficulties can one become a master alchemist.

Qin Chuan had previously considered, and even planned, exchanging his status as a Dan Shui master for a main furnace.

However, this matter still needs to be considered, hence the continued hesitation.

Upon hearing Lin Canghai's words, he immediately took a deep breath, and his eyes instantly shone brightly.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.

Many alchemists shared the same thought, and at this moment, they were all breathing rapidly.

If one can seize such an opportunity and directly advance to the position of main alchemist, then the door to alchemy will be wide open from then on.

Even so, such a main furnace is destined not to be recognized by other main furnaces.

Once successful, they are destined to be looked down upon by other main furnaces, and there will be no shortage of rumors and gossip.

But after all, it is an extremely rare opportunity.

Even if one does not have the qualifications to be the main furnace, once one becomes the main furnace.

The benefits and privileges they receive, along with access to secret herbal formulas that are otherwise unavailable, are enough to allow an alchemist to make rapid progress.

Perhaps they will never be able to create their own herbs in this lifetime, but even so, it is still enough to drive most alchemists crazy.

These words came from Lin Canghai, who was the most senior member of the sect's Red Furnace.

Given his status as a near-master, no one doubted his claim.

"Qingfeng, it's not that I, as your elder brother, want to make things difficult for you, but this time, I... am determined to seize the opportunity!"

Taking a deep breath, Qin Chuan glanced at Gu Qingfeng, who was still smug, and felt a pang of guilt.

He knew that the day when the other party would become famous throughout the Southern Region would have to be postponed again…

Almost the instant Lin Canghai's voice came out.

All the alchemists who had come here from below the mountaintop were breathing heavily, their eyes gleaming.

The phrase "immediately become the master alchemist" is an exceptional opportunity for all alchemists.

Whoever obtains this fortune, it may not determine their future fate, but it will certainly make a significant difference.

This is an opportunity; if we can seize it, we will soar to new heights.

In an instant, one after another, alchemists rushed out.

Looking around, hundreds of alchemists sped from the bottom of the mountain straight to the top.

At this moment in the square, Zuoqiu's eyes narrowed; even he hadn't expected Lin Canghai to say such a thing.

Based on his understanding of Lin Canghai, he knew that this man would never speak without reason.

Such words must have a deeper meaning.

After a moment's thought, Zuoqiu's eyes suddenly gleamed.

"Could it be that he's trying to force out that... Master Dan Shui!"

Fang Yuyan and more than a dozen master alchemists beside her shared the same thoughts.

Their eyes shone with anticipation.

As for Su Anfu, a smile appeared on his lips as he glanced at Qin Chuan, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.

Su Anfu understood perfectly what Lin Canghai was saying.

However, nowadays, apart from Master Dan Chen, only Su Anfu knows about the Dan-questioning lineage.

Who is the real Dan Shui?

However, he naturally wouldn't publicize this matter, and Master Danchen's attitude remained ambiguous.

Those three prohibitions were like a ban, causing Su Anfu to never mention the words "Dan Shui" to anyone.

As one alchemist after another from the Wen Dan lineage arrived, Gu Qingfeng became increasingly smug.

He would stretch his arms out to the left and right at times, and pick his ears with his hands at other times, exuding a subtle arrogance.

"Come on, come on, my hands are itching. If you're so capable, you'd better concoct a pill that can dislocate my hands."

"If anyone can refine it, from now on, whenever I see him, I'll call him 'Master'!"

Gu Qingfeng spoke arrogantly.

As soon as the words were spoken, several of the hundreds of alchemists on the mountaintop stepped forward.

Chao Lin Canghai and Su Anfu clasped their fists in greeting and then began refining pills.

More than one person started refining pills; about twenty pill refiners emerged one after another.

The people present looked at the twenty-odd alchemists, and each of them had a solemn expression.

The herbs were constantly being brought out, and the variety was dazzling.

Before long, pills flew out one by one, heading straight for Gu Qingfeng.

These elixirs were all meticulously crafted by more than twenty alchemists.

Furthermore, they all used medicinal materials that they considered extremely hard to refine.

These pills fell into Gu Qingfeng's hands one by one. He yawned and then clenched his right fist.

A few creaking sounds entered the ears of the twenty-odd alchemists, making their faces turn extremely ugly.

Gu Qingfeng shook his head, flicked the powder in his hand, and it immediately scattered in the wind.

Immediately, he became even more smug and shouted, "Who else!"

In an instant, an aura of dominance over heaven and earth arose spontaneously.

Seeing this, the twenty-odd alchemists looked grim, gritting their teeth in hatred, but there was nothing they could do.

The other alchemists who were originally eager to try were also shocked.

In their eyes, Gu Qingfeng's hands were a pair of ruthless iron hands.

Even the hardest things will be mercilessly crushed, let alone a pill.

"Who else!!"

Seeing that no one answered, Gu Qingfeng became even more arrogant, and even took out some crystals from his storage ring and played with them in his hand.

This scene caused the surrounding alchemists to gasp in astonishment.

Some alchemists who had finally mustered the courage to try.

Upon seeing this, he immediately withdrew the foot he was about to step out.

"This guy is a complete monster! Not only is he born with superhuman strength, but he also cultivates the Gu family's Golden Spirit Technique. What pill can't he crush?"

"Damn it, this younger brother of the Gu family's Daoist, although his cultivation level is not too outstanding, his physical strength is already exceptional."

"They came prepared. How could we possibly refine a countermeasure in such a short time?"

"..."

The surrounding alchemists whispered among themselves, their gazes toward Gu Qingfeng filled with displeasure, but mostly with sighs and resignation.

Knowing that this opportunity might be out of reach for him.

Seeing the reaction of the alchemist from the Dan Sect, Gu Qingfeng's lips curled up, and he became even more smug.

Before coming to the Dan Sect, he had no interest in it.

But when Gu Jingshan told him that he could become famous throughout the Southern Region, he immediately agreed with great excitement.

As his gaze swept over the alchemists, Gu Qingfeng felt smug, thinking to himself that Gu Jingshan had indeed not lied to him.

Once today is over, my name will surely resound throughout the entire Southern Region!
