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

As for the others, most of them glanced at Qin Chuan and then paid no more attention to him.

They wouldn't easily reveal their competitive spirit regarding this promotion to the Red Furnace.

Upon seeing Qin Chuan, Su Anfu's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

He knew Qin Chuan's identity and also knew his master's attitude towards the little guy.

That meant letting Wang Xueyi play around within the sect, as for his so-called Dan Shui identity.

If the other party is willing to speak, they can speak; if they are not, I never interfere.

As for the people from other sects around, Madam Roland of the Hundred Flowers Sect nodded kindly when she saw Qin Chuan.

Song Jia gazed at Qin Chuan, a smile on her pretty face.

Meanwhile, Li Yun Chu also showed interest in the Li family.

These two women were both stunningly beautiful, so their every move naturally attracted a lot of attention.

At this moment, their expressions were seen by many people, including Fang Yuyan.

She glanced at it, her delicate brows furrowing, and for some reason, she felt uneasy.

"My goodness, as expected of the eldest brother, he's really strong..."

Gu Qingfeng opened his eyes wide, looked at Song Jia, then at Li Yunchu, then at Fang Yuyan, and finally at Qin Chuan.

He felt that he couldn't take it all in with just one pair of eyes, and his expression showed extreme admiration.

What are you muttering about?

Beside him, Elder Gu Yongfeng glanced at Gu Qingfeng.

"No...nothing..."

Gu Qingfeng quickly lowered his head, not daring to look around anymore, but in his heart he had already taken Qin Chuan as his role model.

"So this is the alchemist Wang Xueyi, who became famous in the western part of the Southern Region a few days ago..."

The person who arrived from the Wang family was an old woman.

The old woman, her face covered in wrinkles, sat cross-legged in one spot, surrounded by members of the Wang family.

Wang Teng was among them!

However, his face was gloomy, and he didn't look at Fang Yuyan at all from beginning to end, as if he didn't see her at all.

I was only sent here to attend the ceremony by order of my family.

Fang Yuyan, on the other hand, remained calm, showing no emotion whatsoever.

It was as if the past between the two had already been severed.

"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young..."

Laughter came from Li Ziming of the Li family. He was sitting at a distance, and as he laughed, he looked Qin Chuan up and down.

There were more than ten members of the Li family sitting behind him, including Li Qingshu.

And, theoretically Qin Chuan's fiancée... Li Yun Chu, was also sitting cross-legged beside Li Zi Ming at this moment.

After a few months apart, Li Yunchu had grown into an even more graceful and beautiful young woman.

She was dressed in a white dress, and sitting there, her expression gentle and elegant, like a blooming orchid.

However, there was a faint trace of melancholy between his brows.

It makes one feel pity for the person who sees it.

"The Dan-questioning lineage has produced a fine disciple. Congratulations, Master Dan Chen!"

The Fang family, one of the four great clans, was represented here by an elder, Fang Zhengcheng.

At only two hundred years old, he already possessed the cultivation level of the sixth level of the Xuanhuang realm.

This gave him immense power within the Fang family.

At this moment, he spoke softly. As his voice rang out, Fang Xueyi, the Daoist disciple among the Fang family members, was frowning slightly and gazing at Qin Chuan.

He was also very curious about this guy who was famous in the west and whose name was somewhat similar to his own.

Master Dan Chen smiled slightly, but did not speak. Instead, his gaze swept over Qin Chuan and the others.

"Canghai, you explain the rules."

With that, Dan Chen withdrew his gaze, stepped to the side, sat down cross-legged, and then fell silent.

Lin Canghai, the most senior alchemist in the Red Furnace Alchemist Sect, hurriedly stood up, bowed to Master Dan Chen, and then looked at Qin Chuan and the others.

"Promotion to Red Furnace Alchemist is less of a trial and more of a comprehensive test that integrates knowledge of herbs, alchemy, formulas, and even cultivation and alchemy skills!"

I have experienced this trial, as have the other Red Furnace Alchemists around me.

They all emerged victorious from the trials of the furnace in their respective eras, and thus obtained the furnace!

But... throughout history, I have asked the Dan Sect and the Dan lineage to open the red furnace for testing a total of seventy-one times.

So far, only nineteen people have advanced to the Red Furnace, while the other fifty-two participants have all failed.

Therefore, although you have qualified to participate in the trial, there is a 70% chance that you will all fail!

Lin Canghai's expression was solemn as he looked at Qin Chuan and the others, his gaze sweeping over them one by one.

Despite his exhaustion, Qin Chuan's expression remained largely unchanged.

However, he had read some classic texts about the Red Furnace Alchemist of the Wendan Sect after he became the head alchemist.

Throughout history, the Wen Dan lineage has produced a total of nineteen Red Furnace Alchemists.

Two of them betrayed the sect: one was Zuoqiu, and the other was surnamed Liu.

Of the remaining seventeen, five perished in the long river of time.

Two of them disappeared without a trace while they were out training.

Even with Master Danchen personally searching, he couldn't find many clues.

As if the world has evaporated.

What is certain is that the two were not dead, but for some unknown reason, they disappeared in the Southern Region…

"But even if you fail, you can still gain a lot from it."

You will not be in mortal danger during this Red Furnace Trial, but... a pill refiner only has one chance to participate in the trial in their lifetime.

Once you fail, there's no second chance in your life!

Therefore, throughout history, many alchemists have left behind their own created or special alchemy formulas in this trial.

They also left their understanding and experience of alchemy to future generations, to those qualified to participate in the trials here in the years to come.

I still remember that back then, in the Trial Grounds, I left behind my understanding and insights about the Jade Heart Pill.”

As he slowly opened his mouth, a hint of reminiscence flashed in Lin Canghai's eyes.

"The Trial Grounds are a mountain of immortal land, with ten thousand furnaces existing at its foot."

This land of ten thousand furnaces is where you ten will first create your own destiny furnace, from which you will obtain your own natal alchemy furnace.

To be precise, in you choosing the alchemy furnace, it is also the alchemy furnace choosing you.

Once your natal alchemy furnace turns red on this mountain, you will have completed the first trial.

The one who ultimately reaches the top will be qualified to become the Red Furnace!

However... if only one person climbs to the top of the mountain, that person becomes the Red Furnace; but if multiple people obtain it...

The final choice rests with the head alchemist of this place, the red-furnace alchemist.

Their approval will be key to becoming a top-tier powerhouse!

Lin Canghai glanced meaningfully at the ten people from Qin Chuan and then uttered his final words.

"The alchemy furnace behind you is a treasure left behind by the True Immortal Wendan, and inside it is a celestial mountain."

There are ten paths, located in four areas, each with its own unique challenges.

Everything requires you to overcome one by one. With each challenge you overcome, the color of your natal alchemy furnace will deepen.

I remind you that everyone here can clearly see everything you do during the trial. You'd better watch yourselves.

"I hope that in this trial, one of you will become my eleventh junior brother of the Dan-seeking lineage!"

After Lin Canghai finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at Master Danchen, who nodded slightly.

He immediately turned around and flicked his sleeve.

"The trial begins! Open the alchemy furnace!"
