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

The other alchemists in charge of the furnaces all changed their expressions, having noticed something amiss.

Although Xu Yishun's purpose was too obvious.

Even so, these master alchemists disliked Qin Chuan and had a lot of goodwill towards Ye Gutian.

At this moment, everyone looked on with their own thoughts.

As for ordinary alchemists, they didn't know much about these things, but they could still sense that something was amiss.

They all fell silent.

If they could all see something amiss, how could the half-step ancestors from the other sects around them, each one cunning and calculating, not see it?

Even very early on, they had already noticed some signs.

They were naturally happy to see this happen, as it would provide something interesting to watch.

Gu Qingfeng stared intently at Ye Gutian, his eyes wide, silently cursing Ye Gutian's ancestors several times over.

As for Song Jia and Li Yunchu, they both frowned slightly, a hint of annoyance showing on their pretty faces.

Dan Chen, on the other hand, remained silent throughout.

Like an old monk in deep meditation, it was as if he saw nothing and heard nothing.

"Oh?"

Xu Yishun smiled slightly, and said with surprise, "What do you mean by that, Senior Brother Su? I hope you can enlighten me."

"Ye Gutian is not the only one who has reached the top of the mountain."

Without keeping everyone in suspense, Su Anfu spoke calmly.

"So this is the rule Senior Brother Su was referring to. This junior brother will naturally not overlook it, however..."

Xu Yishun laughed heartily, but before he could finish speaking, a booming sound suddenly came from the World of Inquiry.

As the roaring sound appeared, the world of Wen Dan in the scene began to tremble.

The source of this tremor was Mount Wendan.

This scene immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all stared intently at it.

Even Xu Yishun's words were directly interrupted by the deafening roar.

No one noticed that at this moment, Dan Chen's eyes suddenly revealed an unprecedented light.

A smile slowly appeared on his lips, a smile that carried satisfaction, emotion, and joy.

At this very moment, within the illusionary realm where Qin Chuan resides, in Dragonspine City.

Fourteen years have passed.

That year, Qin Chuan was ninety-nine years old and returned to his master's grave once again.

He gazed at the tombstone, a look of emotion on his face.

"Heaven and earth are the inn of all things, and time is the passing guest of a hundred generations..."

Qin Chuan smiled.

Life is a journey.

Whether this path is deep or shallow, this is his choice.

"Perhaps...it hasn't arrived yet."

Qin Chuan shook his head.

Perhaps one day in the future he will encounter his life's goal.

But not yet.

If you don't have it, why force it?

The journey is wonderful because the future is unpredictable.

Qin Chuan smiled nonchalantly.

With a smile, his full head of white hair turned black, and his hunched body straightened up again.

His face no longer looked old, but had become that of a young man.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Chuan bowed to the tombstone for the third time.

A knock at dusk!

This tap sealed the cause and effect.

A bond was forged between master and disciple, and from then on, our relationship was intertwined...

With this tap, the Dragon Ridge City behind Qin Chuan became an illusion and vanished.

With that knock, the entire world around him shattered, leaving only him and the grave before him.

With this strike, a deafening roar resounded from heaven and earth.

With that sound, the entire world shattered.

At this moment, Qin Chuan slowly opened his eyes, and the illusion disappeared.

He saw the sky again, and he saw the fairyland again.

He, on the other hand, stood at the peak of Mount Wendan in the Immortal Land World.

After glancing into the depths, Qin Chuan took a step forward, and ripples appeared in front of him.

When he reappeared, Qin Chuan had left the Immortal Land and was standing on Dragon Ridge Mountain.

His appearance instantly drew the attention of everyone present.

This includes Ye Gutian, whose face was gloomy, and Xu Yishun, whose lips curled into a cold smile.

When all was quiet, Xu Yishun's voice slowly drifted out.

"I hadn't finished speaking yet, Senior Brother Su, there were indeed two people who reached the top of the mountain."

However, now that this has happened, the right to make the decision no longer rests with the two of them.

Rather, it is you and me, in all the red furnaces, and in all the alchemists of the main furnace.

We... are the key to deciding who becomes the Red Furnace. I wonder if Senior Brother Su is satisfied with this answer, Junior Brother?

With that, Xu Yishun flicked his sleeve and, before Su Anfu could speak, turned to look at the other furnaces.

"According to the sect's rules, if two people reach the summit, we must choose the one with the most supporters, who will be the one who gets the red furnace!"

I, Xu Yishun, ask all fellow Daoists of the same lineage to bear witness, and also ask all fellow Daoists of other lineages to bear witness.

I believe Ye Gutian is more qualified to become the Red Furnace Master than Wang Xueyi, therefore I choose Ye Gutian!

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a person stepped out from the red-hot furnace.

"Red Furnace Ma Hanliang chooses Ye Gutian!"

Another alchemist with a red furnace followed closely behind.

"The red furnace is at Gao Zhuo's peak; Ye Gutian is chosen!"

"Bai Ziyu of the Red Furnace, choose Ye Gutian!"

"He Maoxun of the Red Furnace chooses Ye Gutian!"

"..."

In an instant, six out of the ten alchemists stepped forward and chose Ye Gutian.

This scene excited Ye Gutian, and his face showed excitement.

Lin Canghai hesitated for a moment, glanced at Qin Chuan in silence, and made no choice.

Beside him was another alchemist, a middle-aged woman.

The woman remained calm and did not speak up for anyone at this moment.

The other disciples from various sects around them all watched this scene.

Those half-step ancestors remained silent, their smiles ambiguous.

"Purple Furnace Tour of Jade Palace, choose Ye Gutian!"

"Xun Xingwei of the Purple Furnace has chosen Ye Gutian!"

"..."

Following those red-hot furnaces, the other alchemists in charge of furnaces around them immediately began to speak.

In an instant, voices rose and fell, and it turned out that almost the majority of people had chosen Ye Gutian.

After all, the way Qin Chuan became the main furnace master was something most people found shameful.

Su Anfu's face was extremely ugly, and he was about to say something when...

Qin Chuan's voice drifted out slowly and calmly.

"May I ask Xu Honglu, why do you say that I am inferior to Master Ye in terms of qualifications? Where is this inferiority reflected?"

Qin Chuan remained calm, his expression showing little change.

"It is reflected in your Taoist alchemy skills, and even more so in your reputation!"

Whether it's alchemy, reputation, or the elixir I created, all of this is based on my own judgment.

More importantly, Ye Gutian's fame had already caused a sensation in the Southern Region ten years ago.

In recent months, he has even refined a supreme elixir through alchemy, destined to be a red-hot furnace.

And that's exactly the qualification you lack!

Xu Yishun looked at Qin Chuan and spoke without any politeness, almost reprimanding him.

In fact, given his position, he certainly had the authority to reprimand him in that way.

"That's it?"

Qin Chuan glanced up at Ye Gutian, smiled, and then suddenly flicked his right hand outwards.

One, two, five, ten, a hundred, a thousand…

All the pills, numbering over a thousand, were swept up in that instant with a flick of Qin Chuan's wrist!
