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

Qin Chuan really liked these kinds of days.

He was cultivating and refining pills at the same time, and both were steadily improving.

As for Fang Yuyan, she hasn't appeared at Qin Chuan's place during this time either.

He occasionally heard people talk about it when he went out.

It seems that Fang Yuyan has now reached the extreme in her admiration for that mysterious alchemy master in the sect.

He's been searching for this person all day long, almost to the point of obsession.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan's expression remained unchanged. Having been at the Wen Dan Sect for so long, he had long since become accustomed to his new identity.

Just as Qin Chuan finished refining a batch of pills, he rubbed his temples and stood up. Just then, he saw Empress Yao Xi walking over from not far away.

"Senior Yaoxi, is there anything I can help you with?"

Seeing the other party suddenly appear, Qin Chuan was taken aback and asked in surprise.

"Your Xuanhuang realm should be stable by now!"

Without answering Qin Chuan's question, Empress Yao Xi suddenly spoke up and asked.

"Ah."

Although puzzled, Qin Chuan nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, senior. After this period of time..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly realized something and quickly looked up at Empress Yaoxi.

Only then did he notice that her face was flushed and her body was trembling slightly, as if she was trying her best to restrain herself.

Upon seeing this, Qin Chuan's pupils shrank, and he tentatively asked, "Senior Yao... Yao Xi, you wouldn't..."

"Um…"

Empress Yaoxi's eyes shimmered with autumn water as she nodded weakly, saying, "The poison of the Other Shore Flower has flared up for the second time..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan's eyes widened, and he subconsciously swallowed, stammering, "This...that..."

"What do you mean 'this' and 'that'? Are you even a man? Hurry up and detoxify yourself!"

Empress Yaoxi blushed and scolded impatiently.

His embarrassed and annoyed expression would make anyone drool.

Qin Chuan swallowed hard, unsurprisingly.

After a moment of silence, he sighed and could only walk towards Empress Yaoxi.

Who told me I had promised to cure the other person's poison...?

As Qin Chuan approached, Empress Yao Xi bit her lip slightly. Although it wasn't the first time, her heart still raced.

Immediately, she raised her hand before her eyes became completely glazed over.

They restored Qin Chuan to its original appearance and sealed the space of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace.

The next moment, she removed her phoenix crown and phoenix robe.

Clothes flutter in the breeze, spring colors fill the garden…

"Huh? Why is it dark?"

Inside the Blood Immortal Mask, the Wang family patriarch was watching Qin Chuan and Empress Yao Xi with great interest.

But for some reason, the images and sounds suddenly disappeared.

"Tch, it's just detoxification, is it really necessary to make it so mysterious?" the Wang family patriarch said with a look of disdain.

He couldn't understand why the two of them were talking about detoxification, as if it were something shameful.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Chuan opened his eyes wearily.

Upon closer inspection, one could see Empress Yaoxi standing to the side, dressed neatly and radiant.

"Hurry up and put your clothes on!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan looked down and realized he was completely naked.

Not only that, but there were also many red scratches on her fair skin, showing her previous madness.

Seeing the scratches on Qin Chuan's face, Empress Yao Xi gritted her teeth and scolded, "I told you to put your clothes on properly! Who told you to look around like that!"

"what?"

Qin Chuan was taken aback, and said helplessly, "Senior Yao Xi, this seems to be my body, doesn't it?"

Empress Yaoxi blushed slightly and said unreasonably, "You're not allowed to look!"

"Good good..."

Qin Chuan shook his head helplessly, sighing inwardly that women were truly strange creatures. He then got up and silently put on his crimson robe.

He had experienced firsthand the other party's unreasonable behavior, so naturally he didn't want to argue further.

After putting on his robes, Qin Chuan looked at Empress Yao Xi and whispered, "Senior Yao Xi, could you please be a little gentler in the future? We men feel tenderness too..."

"Pah! You wish! Who would want to be with you in the future!"

Empress Yaoxi hesitated to look at Qin Chuan, and forced herself to remain calm, saying, "There is still a third dose of the Other Shore Flower Spring Poison left."

"Once the final detoxification is completed and my cultivation is fully restored, I will return to the Upper Realm to settle accounts with that bitch from the Nine Heavens!"

As she spoke, she waved her jade-like hand, thus removing the seal on the space of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan lowered his head slightly, his eyes dimming.

Seemingly sensing Qin Chuan's emotions, Empress Yao Xi pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Actually... I might not necessarily go back so soon..."

Qin Chuan suddenly looked up and smiled, "Then be gentler from now on!"

"you!"

Empress Yaoxi was startled, her pretty face turning red instantly.

She was about to reprimand him when she saw that Qin Chuan had already fled the place.

After a long while, only the sound of a dead ghost echoed softly within the space of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace…

After leaving the space of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace, Qin Chuan reverted to his Wang Xueyi appearance, stepped out of the cave, and took a deep breath.

After reaching the Xuanhuang Realm, there are no longer any restrictions on changing one's appearance.

Outside the cave, it was midday, and the sun was shining brightly.

Despite the wind, the heat was intense.

The cave where Qin Chuan was located, as well as the entire valley, belonged to him.

In the past two weeks, a number of medicinal herbs have been planted.

Now, along with the heatwave comes a faint scent of medicine.

Immersed in such an environment, it's no wonder that every alchemist exudes the fragrance of medicine.

After descending into the valley, Qin Chuan arranged the medicinal herbs in the herb field within the valley.

As the head of the furnace, he could have summoned medicine apprentices to plant medicinal herbs here, and even had alchemists assist him in refining pills.

However, Qin Chuan preferred quiet, so he didn't invite anyone over. He was quite content to be alone here.

As for Ma Yongnian, he now treats Qin Chuan with the utmost respect.

If he were to live here, he would be restless day and night, and would likely feel very uncomfortable.

Qin Chuan was helpless in this matter, especially given the name "Master Dan Shui".

Outsiders might not know that it was Qin Chuan, but Ma Yongnian knew very well that every time he saw Qin Chuan, the adoring and fanatical gaze he received made him only able to smile bitterly.

At this moment, Qin Chuan was arranging the herbs when his expression suddenly changed, and he stood up and looked towards the entrance of the valley.

Before long, two young apprentices in their thirties came briskly over.

"Greetings, Your Majesty's Army!"

As soon as the two stepped into the valley, they saw Qin Chuan and immediately showed respect, clasping their hands and bowing deeply.

"Is it time to explain plants again?"

As Qin Chuan spoke, he cut off a few withered yellow leaves from a medicinal herb in front of him.

After becoming the chief alchemist, he had already given a lecture once.

Judging by the dates, it's about time for the presentation today.

This is the responsibility of the head alchemist, just like the master of the alchemy lineage, who needs to explain it so that the younger generation of the sect can continue to improve.

"Master Wang, we arrived a couple of days ago, but you haven't come out yet, so we dared not disturb you..."

These two apprentices were assigned to Qin Chuan by the sect to handle some daily chores.

"Two days ago?"

Qin Chuan's lips twitched, and his expression instantly turned unnatural.

Two days outside are equivalent to more than half a year inside the Earth Spirit Furnace space...

In other words, he was tortured for a full six months!

Strangely enough, he had no memory of the detoxification process.

It was as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

I felt my legs were weak and a burning pain in a certain area.

"Next time... next time I need to be detoxified, I must stay awake!"

Qin Chuan's eyes were firm, and he silently admonished himself.

"Master Wang, what's wrong?"

Seeing Qin Chuan's strange reaction, the two apprentices exchanged a glance and asked with some confusion.

"It's okay, let's go!"

With a sigh, Qin Chuan shook his head.

After tidying up the herbs in front of him, he followed the two young apprentices out of the valley.
