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

At this moment, all the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Sect around him were looking at Qin Chuan.

Song Jia's eyes flickered, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

At this moment, Qin Chuan is the focus of everyone's attention.

The beautiful woman in palace attire, who was at the Xuanhuang realm, sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at Qin Chuan with great interest.

After all, most of the members of the Hundred Flowers Sect felt that what Chen Jiashu said earlier made some sense.

And what ability does this young man have to dare to stand up at this moment?

"I have three questions. Regarding the theory of square and circle, and the yin and yang of the sun and moon, with yang representing the cauldron and moon representing the elixir formula, who forged this cauldron and who created this elixir formula?"

"This is my first question, and I would appreciate it if Master Chen could enlighten me!"

Standing on the high platform, Qin Chuan spoke calmly.

"I thought it was something else. Does Master Wang only have this much knowledge of alchemy?"

Chen Jiashu sneered and said sarcastically, "The alchemy furnace was forged by our predecessors who observed the sun, and the alchemy formula was also enlightened by looking up at the moon."

Therefore, it was recorded through the changes in plants and trees. Thus, Chen said, "The sun is the alchemical furnace, the moon is the elixir formula; through the melting and refining of the sun and moon, all living beings and myriad things can be created!"

Chen Jiashu sneered, his words as sharp as ever.

Those around him were deeply moved and their hearts were stirred.

"The sun is just one of many stars, and because of its dazzling light, the other stars around it are not visible."

What our ancestors looked up at was not so much the sun as the entire sky!

You say Master Huang is just seeking fame and fortune, but I would say you, Master Chen, are like a frog in a well, only seeing the sun but not the entire sky that contains it.

The moon is also one of the stars, often appearing in the night sky. However, because the stars surround the moon, the others are overlooked.

In fact, the sun and the moon are both stars, and the only thing that remains unchanged is this starry sky!

You say Master Huang is misleading students, then I would say you, Master Chen, are short-sighted.

A mere alchemist dares to claim that he can refine the sun and moon to create all living beings and things!

Since you've presumptuously asked for my opinion, then I, Wang, will tell you today.

If the sun and moon are forged to create all living things, then the starry sky, as a furnace, can forge the vicissitudes of the sun and moon!

At this moment, Qin Chuan spoke calmly, his voice neither hurried nor slow.

Only the last sentence, delivered with the force of thunder, struck Chen Jiashu's mind, causing his expression to change drastically.

At that moment, the entire square was eerily silent.

All the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Sect were shaken to their core, as if thunder had struck.

Amidst the buzzing in my mind, it seemed as if a voice kept echoing.

"The starry sky is a furnace, capable of refining the vicissitudes of time!"

The words echoed continuously, causing the breathing around them to gradually quicken.

The beautiful woman in palace attire suddenly opened her eyes and stared intently at Qin Chuan.

Madame Roland and the red-faced old man beside her were also moved and opened their eyes, which had been closed the whole time.

"you…"

Chen Jiashu clenched his fists, his expression shifting rapidly.

He never expected that Wang Xueyi, who looked so young, would have such sharp words.

In that instant, it felt as if a sharp blade had pierced my chest.

"call…"

Huang Deshan took a deep breath, his eyes shining brightly. He had vaguely felt that what Chen Jiashu said was correct.

But now, after hearing Qin Chuan's words, I realize they are the truth.

"Master Wang really surprised me."

Taking a deep breath, Chen Jiashu quickly recovered, his eyes gleaming as he stared intently at Qin Chuan.

"Whether it's the sun, moon, stars, or the furnace of heaven and earth, no matter what, in the path of alchemy, every blade of grass and every tree can be used to refine pills, and every soul and every spirit can be used to refine pill spirits!"

"What Mr. Chen disagreed with before was Master Huang's unchanging theory, not Master Wang's theory of the vicissitudes of time."

Chen Jiashu remained calm and slowly said, "In my opinion, as an alchemist, one must change oneself in order to achieve countless transformations."

Only then can it conform to the saying of endless elixir formulas, and only then can it be used to refine the countless elixirs throughout history!

"The saying that one person's change can lead to countless changes is incorrect!"

Qin Chuan spoke calmly, his voice once again unhurried.

Standing on the high platform, a breeze blew, lifting her long hair and obscuring the starlight in her eyes.

"The ever-changing phenomena include wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, which are changes of the heavens; they also include the undulating mountains and the turning rivers, which are changes of the earth!"

Are all the changes in the world caused by you alone? Is the rain falling from the sky a result of your thoughts, Master Chen? Is the collapse of mountains and earth also a result of your sudden will, Master Chen?

This is Wang's second question. You don't need to answer it, because you can't answer it anyway!

Even if you are not a master of alchemy now, and even if you might become a master of alchemy in the future, you are not worthy to describe yourself like this.

How could you possibly tolerate such changes in the world? It's utterly laughable and shows a complete overestimation of your own abilities!

Qin Chuan's voice slowly drifted out, echoing Chen Jiashu's earlier mockery of Huang Deshan.

At that moment, a thunderous roar caused Chen Jiashu's expression to change repeatedly.

"You...you sharp-tongued brat! I clearly didn't mean that; I was just talking about my mindset when refining pills!"

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

"The mindset that Chen mentioned is to integrate the strengths of all schools and absorb the advantages of others, so as to perfect oneself, reach the peak of alchemy, and bring about changes in all directions!" Chen Jiashu immediately spoke.

These words immediately made sense to the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Sect around them.

"Just as a painter needs to see thousands of mountains before he can paint a single one."

Just as countless streams merge together to form a mighty river!

This is the mindset that Chen mentioned: to learn from the strengths of many and ultimately forge one's own path.

And this is the Dao of Alchemy that Chen has come to understand along his journey!

Chen Jiashu flicked his sleeve and spoke decisively.

Immediately, he looked intently at Qin Chuan and sneered, "I wonder what Master Wang's mindset is when he refines pills?"

When these words spread, the cultivators of the Hundred Flowers Sect, including Song Jia, showed thoughtful expressions.

Even Huang Deshan, who was standing behind Qin Chuan, was stunned for a moment before falling into deep thought.

At this moment, everyone looked at Qin Chuan, waiting for his answer.

Looking at Chen Jiashu's smug face, Qin Chuan remained calm and spoke indifferently.

"The painter has seen thousands of mountains and rivers, and his paintings contain the grandeur of those mountains and rivers."

But the mountain he finally drew was no longer the one he had seen, but rather... the mountain he imagined, the mountain he thought he saw!

He had forgotten the first mountain he had ever seen, simply because he had seen so many more that he had gradually forgotten the awe he felt upon first witnessing the magnificent peaks!

Qin Chuan raised his head and gazed at the distant mountain peaks.

"Millions of streams converge to form a mighty river, but this river... is no longer the original stream."

That stream, yearning to become the first tributary of a river, died in the process of merging, died utterly and completely!

Qin Chuan's voice was deep and resonant, slowly spreading throughout the surroundings.

"In the process of pursuing it, the painter forgot the first mountain he saw and forgot why he wanted to paint the mountain."

In the process of becoming river water, the stream loses itself and no longer has a self.

And this is Wang's third question!
