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

Before leaving, Gu Qingfeng hung his head and gave Qin Chuan a pitiful look.

The hurt in her eyes made Qin Chuan feel even more guilty.

He knew his identity and that Gu Qingfeng must have noticed it.

Ask about the outer sect of alchemy.

Walking down the mountain, Gu Jingshan and Master Zuoqiu walked together, gazing into the distance.

"Master Zuoqiu, you just gave them that ancient Emperor-Breaking Pill like that?"

Gu Jingshan hesitated for a moment, but still voiced his doubts.

Zuoqiu remained silent for a long while, then smiled faintly.

"That Broken Emperor Pill is already incomplete, and I have already thoroughly studied it. Even without this pill, it can still help Daozi break through to the Profound Emperor realm!" Zuoqiu said confidently with a smile.

Gu Jingshan's eyes flashed, he pondered for a moment, and then nodded.

"Moreover, I have already achieved my goal in coming to the Pill Sect. The mere Breaking Emperor Pill is worth it!" Zuoqiu's eyes gleamed with a strange light as he suddenly smiled and said.

"Oh?"

Gu Jingshan looked puzzled and asked in surprise, "But Master Danchen didn't show up, so how can Master Zuoqiu say that the goal has been achieved?"

"Who said I went to ask the Pill Sect to pay my respects to my master?"

Zuoqiu laughed and shook his head, saying, "My master will never see me. The talk about the elixir is just an excuse."

My true purpose is to find a reason to see that mysterious Master Dan Shui!

His laughter was weathered and full of wisdom.

A person who can cultivate elixirs to this level must have an extremely high level of intelligence.

"Master Danshui? This person..."

Gu Jingshan was taken aback, and just as he was about to say something, his eyes suddenly narrowed sharply.

"Could it be..."

His face showed disbelief as he looked up at Zuoqiu.

Zuoqiu smiled and said decisively, "Master Danshui, it is indeed that young man from earlier!"

These words struck Gu Jingshan like a thunderclap, making his breathing quicken instantly.

He had no doubt what Master Zuoqiu said, especially about the Daoist alchemy lineage.

This matter was so shocking to him that even the elder of the Gu family found it hard to believe.

“Su Anfu clearly knew, but given his limited understanding, it must have been his master who told him.”

Zuoqiu smiled slightly and said slowly, "As for my senior brother Lin, although he has high attainments in alchemy, he stopped more than a hundred years ago."

He is too narrow-minded and rigidly adheres to conventions; he will never become a master.

Therefore, he naturally couldn't see Wang Xueyi's alchemy skills.

Especially since this child won by trickery, leading everyone to believe it was due to the medicinal herbs, he seems very clever…”

The old man's words were full of admiration for Qin Chuan.

"How old is this young man? He's already a master of alchemy! This is truly astounding..."

Gu Jingshan took a deep breath, and a strange light flashed in his eyes for a moment.

"He can't be called a master yet, but he is an extremely rare talent, which is probably why Master helped to keep it a secret..."

"However, if you want to offend this person, you can expose his identity and spread the word throughout the Southern Region."

But a master of alchemy is also a master of poison; if one cannot strike first, he will become like a leech, clinging to one's bone, and eventually bring trouble upon oneself.

"Moreover, this person became famous for his madness, and although I didn't witness it firsthand, just seeing the image branded on the jade tube made my hair stand on end..."

Zuoqiu spoke calmly, his words carrying a clear and composed tone.

But to Gu Jingshan, it turned into a bone-chilling cold.

He knew that the other person was reminding him.

“Since this young man is unwilling to reveal his identity, you should not ruin things. What I am truly interested in is whether he will become the third one.”

Zuo Qiu smiled and suddenly said something that Gu Jingshan couldn't understand.

These words sounded more like a self-questioning, but the unwavering determination in his eyes already provided the answer…

Several days after the Gu family left the Wen Dan Sect, a major event suddenly occurred in the Southern Region.

A corpse fell from the sky and landed in the Reincarnation Cave, one of the three most dangerous places on the Tianyuan Continent.

Rumor has it that this is the corpse of an immortal!

The sound of its landing surpassed all other sounds, like a whirlwind sweeping across the entire southern region.

It was as if thunder was constantly rolling in all directions.

This news spread throughout all the sects in the Southern Region, causing many cultivators to flock to the Cave of Rebirth.

I dared not get close, I only dared to glance at it from afar.

The six major sects and four great families were also greatly affected.

There has been discussion about this matter within the Wendan sect and its lineage.

The deafening roar shook the very ground of the Wen Dan Sect.

However, this place is quite far from the Reincarnation Cave, and Qin Chuan has just advanced to the main furnace, so he doesn't pay much attention to it.

Advancing to the main furnace was originally a major event for the Daoist lineage, second only to advancing to the red furnace.

However, in Qin Chuan's case, the method of obtaining them was not a legitimate selection process.

Therefore, everything is kept simple, and even external statements are kept vague, as if unwilling to say more.

Even with a simplified plan, Qin Chuan was busy for several days before he finally had some free time.

They changed their cave dwelling and their clothes.

Although he obtained his position as the main furnace through special means, he was a nobody with little influence.

However, the benefits they are entitled to still exist.

For example, Qin Chuan currently occupies an entire valley in his cave dwelling.

Moreover, this place is deep within the lineage of alchemy practitioners, completely separate from alchemists and medicine apprentices.

Although the valley is not large, it belongs entirely to Qin Chuan, so it cannot be called small.

The emerald green robe had a furnace pattern embroidered on its cuffs.

This robe was specially made and is a top-grade spiritual artifact.

It is also engraved with a small defensive formation, which has considerable defensive capabilities.

As for the alchemy furnace, once it becomes the main furnace, the sect will provide it free of charge whenever needed.

Unlike before, where if the alchemy furnace was destroyed, one would not have to hand over the pills as compensation.

Another issue is medicinal herbs; after Qin Chuan became the main furnace, all of them were made available for credit.

Most importantly, the chief alchemist can enter the Immortal Realm of Inquiry about Alchemy once a month.

The various benefits, in terms of status and position, are comparable to before.

They're like heaven and earth.

There are a thousand alchemists and a hundred furnace masters.

Once you become the head of the furnace, you can ignore all inner disciples.

Even core disciples of the Purple Qi lineage must treat the main furnace with utmost respect.

In principle, core disciples are qualified to invite the chief alchemist.

In reality, those who can have pills refined in the main furnace are mostly elders of the sect.

Even outside the sect, in the entire Southern Region, anyone who possesses the identity of a master alchemist of the Wen Dan Sect is highly valued by any sect.

In terms of the level of treatment, it far surpasses that of ordinary alchemists.

It can be said that becoming the main furnace master is equivalent to stepping into the core of the alchemy lineage.

Anyone who wants to become the head alchemist needs to gain the approval of all the head alchemists.

Therefore, people like Qin Chuan were directly named as the main furnace master.

Almost the instant he was promoted, all the alchemists became displeased with him.

Qin Chuan didn't care about any of that. Almost immediately after becoming the main furnace, he went into seclusion.

It was all because a disciple of Lin Canghai's sect gave him a pill.

It is indeed an ancient elixir, the Emperor-Breaking Elixir!

After obtaining it, Qin Chuan noticed that although the pill was well preserved, its medicinal effects were not good.

With no other option, he could only research the Breaking Emperor Pill while collecting the necessary herbs.

Everything is in preparation for breaking through to the Profound Emperor Realm!
