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

After glancing at Chen Jiashu, Qin Chuan continued speaking.

"You have absorbed the strengths of many schools of thought and seen countless mountains, seemingly gaining a lot, but you have lost yourself."

If you don't have a reason to keep going, even if you see all the mountains and rivers, you will eventually forget why you painted mountains and why you painted water!

Even if the stream becomes a river, it will still be stagnant water!

Qin Chuan flicked his sleeve, and his voice suddenly became impassioned, reaching Chen Jiashu's ears and causing his mind to reel.

"As cultivators, we must have our own principles; as alchemists, we must have our own path of alchemy!"

"My heart is steadfast, therefore nothing can replace it. From beginning to end, it has never disappeared, it is eternal and everlasting, and I regard it as an unchanging heart!"

Qin Chuan's words were powerful and resonant, shaking the entire square and causing Chen Jiashu's expression to change.

He instinctively took a few steps back, a look of horror in his eyes.

"You don't even have a firm heart, yet you dare to talk about integrating the strengths of all schools of thought, and even shamelessly claim to be integrating your own path. Do you even deserve to discuss alchemy with me, Wang?" Qin Chuan said decisively.

The square fell silent upon hearing this.

But soon a buzzing sound began, and Chen Jiashu's breathing became rapid, his mind filled with confusion.

Huang Deshan, especially, who was standing behind Qin Chuan, was trembling all over and his mind was buzzing.

In that instant, he suddenly realized why he could not become a red furnace, or even a purple furnace.

"As time goes by, I've seen too many others pursuing alchemy, being led astray and distracted, forgetting the path they once so earnestly sought..."

Huang Deshan muttered to himself, as if he had a sudden realization.

Madame Roland and the beautiful woman in court attire exchanged glances, both seeing the gravity in each other's eyes.

Only the red-faced old man kept his eyes closed and did not open them again.

The buzzing of the Hundred Flowers Sect disciples echoed all around, and Qin Chuan's words stirred up a great wave in almost everyone's heart.

"you you…"

Chen Jiashu was pale, and Fu Yiming next to him was also breathing rapidly.

"Unchanging in itself, it embraces countless changes, letting the sun and moon vicissitudes and the world turn upside down."

The true recipe for the elixir lies in the ever-changing nature of the mind, while my unchanging self is the true furnace of my elixir!

The body is the alchemical furnace, the mind is the elixir formula; when the inner and outer are integrated, one can refine all things in heaven and earth into elixir.

This elixir is heaven, this elixir is earth, this elixir is the whole world!

And this… is Wang's Dao of Alchemy!

Qin Chuan flicked his sleeve, and his voice echoed instantly, booming to the heavens.

The moment that sound came out, the red-faced old man beside Madame Roland suddenly opened his eyes, which had been tightly closed.

At this moment, all the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Sect, no matter who they were, were all staring at Qin Chuan.

In the deathly silence, an endless, strange light shone in everyone's eyes.

Many of the female disciples had flushed faces, as if they were deeply intoxicated by the experience.

On the high platform, Huang Deshan stared at Qin Chuan with an excited expression.

At that moment, he felt no more resentment.

Instead, there is excitement, and even more pride.

This is because the person before me belongs to the Dan-seeking lineage!

He had made up his mind that once he returned to the Wen Dan lineage, he would help Wang Xueyi fully integrate into the main furnace.

It could even be said that Qin Chuan's remarks here will soon spread throughout the entire Southern Region's alchemy community.

At this moment, Chen Jiashu was pale and looked as if he had lost his mind.

Beside him, Fu Yiming was sweating profusely, muttering something that no one else could hear.

Only he knew that what he was muttering to himself was Qin Chuan's words from just now.

Every word is etched in my heart, a wake-up call.

The entire square was eerily quiet; everyone was completely stunned by Qin Chuan's words.

"This child has a limitless future!!"

This thought surfaced in the minds of Lady Roland and the other two Xuanhuang Realm experts.

They looked at Qin Chuan with amazement and let out a deep breath.

"My goodness, it's so nice to be cultured; they really fooled these people..."

Inside the Blood Immortal Mask, the Wang family patriarch couldn't help but sigh.

Qin Chuan smiled inwardly but did not respond to the Wang family patriarch.

There is certainly some exaggeration involved, but it does indeed belong to his alchemy.

“Total nonsense!!”

Just as everything was quiet, Chen Jiashu let out a loud roar, his voice piercingly clear.

He leaped up and headed straight for the platform, standing opposite Qin Chuan.

"A sharp-tongued brat!"

At this moment, Chen Jiashu's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Qin Chuan, speaking with a mixture of anger and embarrassment.

"If sophistry can be used to refine elixirs, then ordinary people can all create elixirs through their words."

Chen has practiced alchemy for many years, memorized 100,000 medicinal herbs, and knows 600,000 companion relationships.

You, a junior, only managed to become the head alchemist by taking a shortcut; in reality, you're just a minor alchemist.

Regardless of who you are, do you dare to compete with Chen again?

He had been aggressive before, but Qin Chuan crushed him in an even more ruthless way.

This feeling was like being slapped in the face and having a knife plunged into your heart.

As an alchemist, this was a huge blow to him.

"How do you intend to compare!"

Looking coldly at Chen Jiashu, Qin Chuan's eyes flashed with a chilling light. Now that he had stepped forward, he was determined to crush him completely!

"Dare you compare your and my skills in planting plants?!"

Staring intently at Qin Chuan, Chen Jiashu suddenly spoke.

He concluded that Wang Xueyi, who was standing before him, had become the head furnace master through trickery, and was also so young.

In terms of mastery over plants, even a genius could not compare to someone who has immersed themselves in the field for many years.

Moreover, his expertise in plants and trees was something he was extremely confident about.

Although there are many people in the alchemy world who are better than him, he doesn't believe that he can't beat a sharp-tongued alchemist!

As he spoke, he flicked his right hand, and two pieces of black, withered wood flew out of his storage ring.

"Rootless Ironwood!"

Huang Deshan's eyes narrowed, as if he hesitated, before he suddenly looked at the two pieces of dead wood.

"That's right! It's an ancient treasure, the Rootless Ironwood!"

Picking up a piece and holding it in his palm, Chen Jiashu glanced at Qin Chuan and spoke with an arrogant expression.

"Master Wang probably doesn't recognize this, so let me, Chen, explain it to you properly."

This object is called Rootless Ironwood, and it is said to be a withered branch of an ancient divine tree that was as famous as the Fusang Divine Tree.

It is impossible to know whether it is true or not, but it has many uses, one of which is the most prominent.

Because of its ancient origin, it is also known as the ancestor of all herbs.

Therefore, it contains the transformations of most medicinal herbs.

Therefore, alchemists like us only need to hold this object and imprint all the knowledge we have about the transformations of plants into our divine sense within this wood to make the ironwood sprout!

The more we know, the more new shoots will sprout from the ironwood, which will then be enough to prove who between us has a greater understanding of plants!

As he spoke, his arrogance grew even stronger, as if he had victory in his grasp.

For Chen Jiashu, this rootless ironwood consisted of only these two pieces.

It was obtained by chance and I treasured it immensely!

He was forced into a corner at this moment, and only in order to gain future fame did he bring out the comparison with Qin Chuan.
