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

"The Phoenix Singing Flower thrives in sunny conditions and is hot in nature. It takes eight years to mature and can be used to refine the Heavenly Gang Pill..."

Upon hearing Qin Chuan repeat it word for word, Master Jia's expression changed. Without any hesitation, he immediately ordered several more kinds of spiritual herbs.

Qin Chuan didn't delay at all and told them everything.

At this point, Master Jia's face turned completely dark.

There were very few medicinal herbs left on the field, and his face was covered in sweat, showing that he was extremely flustered.

After pointing to several more plants, and seeing that Qin Chuan answered them one by one, Master Jia's head buzzed and his body began to tremble.

Just then, his eyes lit up when he caught a glimpse of a medicinal herb out of the corner of his eye.

He quickly wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve, and pointed to a medicinal herb in the corner of the depression. "Boy, if you can name this medicinal herb, I'll admit defeat on the spot!"

Qin Chuan looked in the direction Master Jia was pointing and saw a spiritual flower that resembled coral and was entirely blood red.

Upon seeing this, Qin Chuan frowned. This spiritual herb was not recorded in any alchemy books, and he was also unaware of its medicinal properties.

Master Jia stared intently at Qin Chuan, and when he saw the other man frown, he immediately burst into laughter: "Haha... Can't say it now, huh? If you can't say it, then you've lost!"

"What's the rush? I'm just thinking about how to explain it in a way that you, an old man, can understand."

"You!" Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Master Jia almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He didn't say anything either; he wanted to see how long Qin Chuan could keep up the act.

Qin Chuan's lips curled slightly as he thought to himself, "Senior Yao Xi, what is this spiritual herb?"

"Blood Jade Coral, prefers shade, is cold in nature, matures in fifteen years, and can be used to refine Yellow Dragon Pills, Youth-Preserving Pills..."

Soon, Empress Yaoxi's voice rang in Qin Chuan's mind.

Qin Chuan was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you, Senior Yao Xi!"

Empress Yaoxi said with a hint of charm in her voice, "You don't need to thank me. Just remember to make it up to me when you have time!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan's legs trembled, and he quickly pretended not to have heard.

Good heavens, they have to compensate for this little thing? They'll be going to turn on us like crazy in the future!

He must uphold his bottom line!

At this moment, Master Jia, looking impatient, urged, "Kid, do you even know what you're doing? If you don't, just admit defeat and stop wasting time!"

Qin Chuan smiled, then repeated Empress Yao Xi's earlier words: "Blood Jade Coral, prefers shade, is cold in nature, matures in fifteen years, and can be used to refine Yellow Dragon Pills, Youth-Preserving Pills..."

impossible!

Upon hearing Qin Chuan speak eloquently, Master Jia's expression changed instantly, his eyes filled with shock.

He couldn't believe that the other party even knew about this spiritual herb!

"You're obviously making this up. What blood jade coral, and all this talk about liking this and that, you make it sound so convincing. I could say it's a snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains, since nobody knows anyway!"

A clever-looking apprentice medicine boy noticed Master Jia's predicament and quickly spoke up to help him out.

"Yup!"

Upon hearing the young herbalist's words, Master Jia's eyes lit up. He looked up at Qin Chuan and said, "This spiritual herb is not recorded at all. How do I know if you made it up on the spot?"

Seeing Master Jia's unreasonable arguments, Qin Chuan remained calm and instead asked with a smile, "Do you have anyone there who is even more skilled at alchemy than you?"

Master Jia frowned. "Why are you asking this?"

"Just tell me if you have it or you don't."

"Yes, my senior brother."

"Then go back and ask your senior brother. He's a bit more skilled than you, so he should know."

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Master Jia's face immediately turned red. The implication was that he was unaware of the medicinal properties of this spiritual herb because of his low level of alchemy skills.

Just as Master Jia was about to lash out, Qin Chuan suddenly said, "Since this Blood Jade Coral is an ingredient in refining the Yellow Dragon Pill, you can go back and try it. You'll know for sure whether it's real or fake then."

Upon hearing this, Master Jia fell silent.

Yellow Dragon Pill! A low-grade fifth-rank pill.

This pill is quite common among fifth-grade pills, but he had never heard of adding blood jade coral to it.

But seeing Qin Chuan's confident demeanor, Master Jia was unsure of what to do.

After a long while, Master Jia said in a deep voice, "Alright! Since that's the case, then I will take this spiritual herb back with me."

If I find out later that you were the one lying to me, even Guan Yueyue won't be able to protect you!

Qin Chuan smiled and nodded, saying, "I await good news!"

Master Jia snorted coldly and then gave a wink to the young apprentice beside him.

The young apprentice understood immediately. After picking the blood jade coral from the depression, he returned to Master Jia's side.

Master Jia glanced at Qin Chuan and said in a deep voice, "You brat, just you wait!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeve and left the place with several medicine boys.

"Old man, come back soon!"

Watching Master Jia's retreating figure, Qin Chuan teased, "Remember to change how you address me next time you see me!"

Hearing the words behind him, Master Jia stumbled and almost fell flat on his face.

His face was extremely ugly. He looked at the several apprentices beside him and gritted his teeth, saying, "Let's go back quickly. After it's confirmed, I'll teach this brat a lesson!"

"Yes!" The young apprentices nodded and followed the old man to the nearest teleportation array.

Danfeng.

An hour later, Master Jia returned with several apprentice medicine boys.

After arriving at a grand hall atop Danfeng Mountain, Master Jia asked several apprentices to wait at the entrance before hurrying inside.

"Senior brother! Senior brother! Where are you?" As soon as he entered the main hall, Master Jia frantically searched for his senior brother.

"I'm here!"

At this moment, an old man with white hair and beard slowly walked out, and said with a wry smile, "Junior brother, you are already so old, how come you still haven't gotten rid of this annoying habit of shouting? It hurts my ears."

"Senior brother, stop talking about that for now. Quickly help me check if this spiritual herb is called Blood Jade Coral?"

As he spoke, Master Jia handed the blood-red medicinal herb in his hand to the white-haired old man.

Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man took the elixir offered to him and examined it carefully.

After a long while, he looked up with some surprise, "Junior brother, you recognize this too?"

Upon hearing this, Master Jia had a bad feeling and quickly said, "Senior brother, just say yes or no."

His voice trembled slightly as he said this.

The white-haired old man shook his head. "No."

"Haha... I told you long ago, this must be something that kid made up! Blood jade coral, utter nonsense!"

With that, Master Jia prepared to turn and leave, and then return to Falling Leaf Peak to settle accounts with the other party!

Just then, the white-haired old man said calmly, "Junior brother, you are too impatient. I said no, it's because this spiritual herb has two names."

One is the Blood Sunflower, and the other is this Blood Jade Coral.

boom!

Upon hearing the white-haired old man's voice, Master Jia paused, a booming sound instantly echoing in his mind.

His face was pale, and he began to sway unsteadily.

Seeing this, the white-haired old man quickly stepped forward to help him up, asking in confusion, "Junior brother, what's wrong?"

Master Jia looked utterly dejected, muttering, "It's over, it's over... I have a father now!"
