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

“What Senior Brother Su said makes sense, but I want to see how this boy will choose in this third area.”

Xu Yishun smiled slightly and spoke calmly.

"Then let's wait and see!"

After Su Anfu finished speaking, he stopped talking and continued to focus his gaze on the light screen.

After that, people gradually emerged from the second area.

In the end, only Fang Yuyan and Ye Gutian were left.

Five people walked out, but the other two were unable to refine pills with 80% of their full medicinal effect.

The attempt failed in the second area.

Of the ten images of the alchemy furnace in the outside world, only eight remained afterward.

When Qin Chuan arrived at the rocks in the third area, there was only a wisp of red aura emanating from them.

Moreover, it only lasted for three breaths.

It is evident that his previous success was not widely recognized in this immortal world.

After infusing this wisp of red energy into the alchemy furnace, Qin Chuan glanced at the rocks and then simply sat cross-legged in meditation.

It restores even the last trace of fatigue in the body, making one full of energy.

At this moment, Fang Yuyan finished refining the last pill, and her face was somewhat pale.

Refining these pills was extremely difficult for her.

She could only persist until the fourth-grade pills were created by herself; as for the fifth grade, she could not create them.

You can only choose from the existing pills and refine the more difficult ones.

Immediately, Fang Yuyan wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the more than ten-foot-wide crevice that had opened up amidst the rumbling of the rocks in front of her.

After flashing a confident smile, he stepped out.

Following her, Ye Gutian also successfully refined his elixir.

Like Fang Yuyan, he was unable to sustain the use of five pills, all of which were self-made.

He could only create fourth-grade pills, and then he had to stop.

Left with no other choice, he opted for a fifth-grade pill to enhance his cultivation.

It was so difficult that he had to refine at least ten batches before he succeeded.

This is because this place is a celestial realm, and everything is moving at a faster pace.

If it were done outside, the time required for alchemy would be more than double.

As the rocks in front of him roared, a crack nearly two zhang wide appeared.

He took a deep breath, his eyes filled with pride, and strode into the mountain path, which was now completely exposed.

Seeing this scene, it was immediately clear to outsiders that the difference in skill level among the remaining eight trial participants was obvious.

Amidst the echoing roar, everyone was discussing Ye Gutian's astonishingly cracked skin.

Fang Yuyan and the others arrived one after another at the rocks in the third mountain area.

After touching the rocks, a rich red aura appeared before them.

Fang Yuyan's red aura lasted for a full incense stick's time before gradually dissipating.

The most astonishing was Ye Gutian, whose red aura lasted for the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn.

This has caused his alchemy furnace to turn a pale red color!

At this moment, on different paths, the others had all absorbed the red energy.

They both frowned as they gazed at the rocks.

The trials in this third area are even more difficult than the previous two.

Qin Chuan finished meditating, opened his eyes, and a sharp glint appeared in them.

He had fully recovered his energy and was now looking at the writing on the rocks, lost in thought.

Behind these rocks, there are no stone steps, as if the path has been interrupted here.

Looking towards the mountains and rocks, all that could be seen was a vast expanse of mist and nothingness; no path could be seen in the distance.

"Nine-Colored Glazed Flower..."

Qin Chuan frowned slightly as he looked at the carvings on the rocks.

That's a medicinal herb, and right now it has nine flowers, each a different color.

"This flower is commonly seen with three colors, rare with six colors, and as for nine colors... it is extremely rare!"

Each flower contains different medicinal properties; when combined, the nine flowers, along with a single herb, can be used to create over a thousand different medicinal formulas…

Each type of pill formula produces pills of varying grades, which can be converted into different quantities…

Qin Chuan remained silent and slowly closed his eyes.

Despite their different paths, Qin Chuan and his companions faced the same trials.

Fang Yuyan was the first to raise her right hand and place it on the stone platform.

The nine-colored glass flowers on it materialized and materialized before her.

At this moment, the cultivators on the mountaintop outside, including those from other sects, were all watching intently.

They discovered something amazing in this third area.

"This third area tests not only alchemy skills, but also the ability to make choices."

The key is to conjure the most perfect stone steps with the fewest elixirs possible!

Xu Yishun, the red-lacquered man, smiled faintly and spoke.

His gaze remained fixed on Ye Gutian's image from beginning to end.

Upon hearing this, many of the surrounding alchemists suddenly realized what was happening and began to look intently.

Looking forward to their performance in the future.

Fang Yuyan gazed at the flowers before her, her phoenix eyes flashing in silence.

"The path of alchemy is like the path of cultivation. Plants and trees grow within the world, and alchemy is like refining the heavens and earth, seeking a glimmer of life within them."

The elixir is formed from this life force, and thus alchemy is a struggle for survival, a search for the unity of heaven and earth.

Nine is the ultimate number. If I were to refine this elixir, I would only refine nine pills, each made from eight flowers. The resulting pill would contain the medicinal power of the missing flower.

With these nine pills, a self-contained cycle is formed, opening the path to heaven!

Thinking of this, Fang Yuyan's eyes showed decisiveness. This was her choice. She raised her right hand and began refining pills.

Ye Gutian took a deep breath and pondered for several hours.

His expression was solemn, his eyes narrowed, and he flicked his sleeve.

After the nine-colored glass flower materialized, he focused on refining elixirs.

"If you're going to refine one pill, refine only one!"

A pill that combines the medicinal effects of nine flowers, yet generates additional medicinal power.

What I'm going to refine... isn't nine, it's ten!

To refine one of these nine-colored glazed flowers, one must find a tenth medicinal effect that is not inherent to the flower itself—something unprecedented—that is befitting my status!

At this moment, Ye Gutian's arrogance seemed to transform into his dedication to alchemy and his self-confidence.

It's hard to say whether his alchemical philosophy is more advanced than Fang Yuyan's.

One of them refined life force through alchemy to its ultimate level.

The other person, however, brought all the complex changes together.

Go and forge something unprecedented and unique!

At this moment, the two men's mastery of alchemy was clearly revealed to the people on the mountaintop.

This caused a shock, prompted deep reflection, and even made those outside the sect ponder deeply.

Even those ten Red Furnace Alchemists.

At this moment, everyone showed their appreciation after seeing Fang Yuyan and Ye Gutian's choices.

Only Master Danchen remained calm throughout.

His gaze was unreadable; it was impossible to tell which person in the scene he was looking at...

It was at this moment that Qin Chuan opened his eyes, a strange light shining in them.

He raised his right hand and pressed it on the rock.

The next moment, a nine-colored glazed flower appeared, and the alchemy furnace also materialized.

Qin Chuan did not immediately begin refining the flower, but instead gazed at the illusory flower before him, a sharp glint in his eyes.

As numerous elixir formulas surfaced in his mind, his expertise in herbs and plants also unfolded comprehensively.

Around this herb, I slowly built a mental framework using combinations of its different flowers and medicinal effects.
