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

"But... these rules were all set by you, Master..."

Lin Canghai's smile was bitter, and there was a hint of resentment on his face.

"The rules were set by me, so why can't I change them?"

Dan Chen glared, flicked his sleeve, and ignored Lin Canghai, instead looking at Qin Chuan.

"call…"

Seeing this, Lin Canghai breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took a few steps back.

Performing this double act is very tiring.

In fact, he wouldn't have spoken up if there hadn't been outsiders present.

But since there were outsiders witnessing the ceremony, he, as a disciple of the Red Furnace Sect, had to speak tactfully no matter what.

"Using the body as the furnace, the heart as the elixir formula, refining the sun, moon, and celestial sphere, refining the vicissitudes of the starry sky—this is the way of alchemy..."

At this point, Dan Chen paused, a smile appearing on his face.

"Even your teacher is looking forward to seeing where your future path will lead."

Upon hearing this, those around immediately noticed something amiss.

Because Dan Chen refers to himself as "Master"!

"By becoming a Red Furnace, you can become my disciple by name; all you need to do is kowtow."

You are Dan Shui, and I can make an exception and become my personal disciple. You will need to kowtow twice.

But... I have taken a lot of your apprenticeship fee after all, so I have no choice but to accept you as my second disciple to date.

Therefore, you need to kowtow three times!

Dan Chen smiled slightly and looked at Qin Chuan with a kind expression.

In that instant, it seemed to overlap with the image of his master in Qin Chuan's mind.

Qin Chuan's expression was strange. The words "apprenticeship fee" reminded him of his two hundred million spirit crystals...

Before Qin Chuan could say anything, Dan Chen raised his hand and waved his sleeve.

In an instant, he vanished without a trace.

"Canghai, on behalf of your master, entertain our friends from the sect and announce to the Southern Region that I have accepted Wang Xueyi as my successor!"

As Dan Chen's voice rang out, everyone around stood up and bowed towards the sky.

Upon hearing the words "disciple of the lineage," Lin Canghai was immediately shaken and gave Qin Chuan a serious look.

Other furnaces followed the same pattern.

Because they all understand what it truly means to pass on the mantle to a disciple.

Song Jia's eyes revealed envy. She knew in her heart that from today onwards, Wang Xueyi's status in the Southern Region would be extraordinary!

Gu Qingfeng was deeply moved, clenching his fists excitedly, thinking to himself that Brother Qin was truly amazing.

Wherever he goes, he is the center of attention.

As for Li Yunchu, her eyes shone even brighter, filled with pride.

You should know that there are three levels of disciples: those who are registered, those who are personally taught, and those who inherit the teachings!

The name is noted; this is just a brief instruction, and questions are welcome.

Personal instruction, on the other hand, involves staying by the master's side, receiving instruction through words and deeds, and, if conditions permit, also being taught some secret techniques.

The only exception is the disciple who inherits the mantle of their master, the most important disciple.

It is the future and continuation of its own heritage.

We will hold nothing back from such a disciple, because such a disciple is more important than our own offspring…

With Master Danchen's departure, the ceremony has come to an end.

The patriarchs of each sect clasped their fists in greeting and then departed.

Among them, Qin Chuan was the busiest, having to deal with congratulations from all sorts of people.

Whether it's genuine or feigned.

Just then, Fang Yuyan suddenly appeared in front of Li Yunchu.

"Sister Yuyan, is there something you need?" Li Yunchu asked gently, her brows slightly furrowed.

Without wasting any time, Fang Yuyan got straight to the point: "Yun Chu, I've also heard about what happened at the Li family back then."

I wanted to ask you, did you come here to consult the Pill Sect because of Qin Chuan?

Li Yunchu was taken aback, a look of panic flashing in her eyes.

This scene was captured by Fang Yuyan, which further deepened her thoughts.

After a moment's hesitation, she continued, "The Li family's knowledge of the past and future is not a secret in the Southern Region at all."

I just want to know, did you come here to ask about the Pill Sect because of that Qin Chuan?

In other words…is he here?

Li Yunchu lowered her head and subconsciously clenched her clothes tightly.

Faced with Fang Yuyan's question, she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Okay, I understand. I will definitely find him!"

As Fang Yuyan finished speaking, she turned and left.

From Li Yunchu's hesitant expression, she had already found the answer she was looking for.

The person I've been searching for is right here in the Dan Sect!

"Oops... I've messed up, I'm so stupid..."

Watching Fang Yuyan's departing figure, Li Yunchu felt a pang of regret.

She had heard about Fang Yuyan and Qin Chuan, and was worried that her actions just now might have caused Qin Chuan some trouble.

With a soft sigh, Li Yunchu turned around and looked at Qin Chuan not far away.

A slight smile played on her lips as she was about to go over and say hello when she suddenly stopped.

In an instant, she saw something and her beautiful eyes widened suddenly.

"Senior Brother Qin... King!"

Li Yunchu looked panicked and quickly walked up to Qin Chuan.

"Fellow Daoist, is there anything I can help you with?"

Qin Chuan, who had just seen off a group of people, felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Li Yun Chu suddenly appear.

Especially the words that the other party almost blurted out.

It made him realize that Li Yun Chu knew that he was Qin Chuan!

Li Yun Chu's expression was filled with panic as she anxiously said, "You absolutely mustn't go to the Hundred Flowers Sect, you absolutely mustn't go to the Hundred Flowers Sect..."

"Avoid going to the Hundred Flowers Sect?"

Qin Chuan was taken aback, somewhat confused.

"Yun Chu, let's go!"

Just as Li Yunchu was about to say something, Li Qingshu stood not far away urging him on.

Helpless, she pursed her lower lip and could only repeat, "Senior Brother Wang, in short, please don't go to the Hundred Flowers Sect, please don't go!"

Seemingly remembering something, she added, "If we really go, we must go to the Reincarnation Cave!"

When the Li family was almost done waiting, Li Yun Chu glanced at Qin Chuan with a worried expression before turning and leaving.

"Don't go to the Hundred Flowers Sect... or the Reincarnation Cave..."

Looking at Li Yunchu's retreating figure, Qin Chuan frowned, feeling completely bewildered.

"Yun Chu, what's wrong?"

Seeing Li Yun Chu approach with a pale face, Li Qing Shu was full of doubt.

"No...it's okay!"

As they were talking, Li Yunchu's face turned pale, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"You're still okay?!"

Li Qingshu frowned, looking somewhat worried.

"I'm really fine."

Li Yun Chu waved her hand, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and forced a smile.

Immediately, she turned back and gave Qin Chuan a deep look, murmuring softly, "I hope he won't go to the Hundred Flowers Sect..."

……

Ask about the inner workings of the Dan Sect.

A low mountain at the deepest part of the Wendan lineage.

Of the surrounding mountains, any one of them is much taller.

Yet these surrounding low hills contain a profound sense of weight and significance.

Its existence is like that of a majestic mountain.

This mountain is the main peak of all the mountains in the Wendan lineage.

At this moment, Qin Chuan, who had received Dan Chen's instructions, was walking on the mountain path, heading towards the summit.

"So, isn't that female bandit leader pretty?"

At this moment, Empress Yaoxi's slightly sour voice suddenly rang in Qin Chuan's mind.

"Cough cough..."

Qin Chuan stumbled, lost his balance, and nearly tumbled down the mountain...
