To them, Qin Xuan was valuable, and they would protect him with all their might.
And now, with Qin Xuan producing this Five-Rank Pill, Qin Xuan's value had increased even further!
Being able to refine a Five-Rank Pill meant there was a high possibility of defeating Wan Yao Valley!
Thinking of this, their eyes immediately became incredibly fervent.
After taking the Medicinal Pill from Qin Xuan's hand and examining it repeatedly several times, they finally dared to confirm that there was no problem with the Medicinal Pill.
“Good, good, good!”
Saying “good” three times in a row, Jiang Dan looked at Qin Xuan excitedly, joy evident in his expression.
“Heaven has pity on us; we finally have a chance to wipe away our past disgrace!”
Ge Dan, who was beside him, was even more overjoyed to the point of tears.
To them, the shame of their Sect's lineage had always been a pain in their hearts, so now that they had a chance to defeat the other party, they were naturally ecstatic.
As for the guard killed by Qin Xuan, they directly cast him to the back of their minds.
Dead people have no value!
Once you're dead, no matter what you were like in life, dead is dead.
To Jiang Dan and Ge Dan, what they wanted was a valuable existence like Qin Xuan.
As for those without value, the two of them no longer cared.
“Good, I’ll go prepare the celebration banquet right away!”
Ge Dan, who was about to move, was directly stopped by Qin Xuan.
“This isn’t good, isn’t it? The competition hasn’t even started…”
Qin Xuan's words were cut short as Jiang Dan, who was beside him, directly shook his head.
“Why wouldn’t we prepare? You can refine a Five-Rank Pill; even if you lose, it’s a glorious defeat, and still worthy of a celebration banquet!”
“What's more, you can now refine Five-Rank Pills, so your chances of winning are already very high!”
Listening to Jiang Dan’s words, Qin Xuan was speechless for a moment.
These two were truly interesting.
After talking for a while, Jiang Dan looked at Qin Xuan.
“Come, refine it one more time. I’ll see if there are any areas where you’re not quite proficient, and I’ll give you some pointers. That way, your chances of winning will be much greater!”
Qin Xuan understood; Jiang Dan still had doubts about his Alchemy strength.
Without exposing him, Qin Xuan smiled and then gestured for Jiang Dan to follow him.
“Then I’ll refine the Medicinal Pill now. You two can help me see if there are any issues.”
Hearing this, Jiang Dan and Ge Dan nodded and followed Qin Xuan to the Alchemy room.
Medicinal ingredients were already prepared within the Alchemy room.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Xuan nodded and then began to refine the Medicinal Pill.
A Five-Rank Pill is a significant test of an Alchemist’s Alchemy skill, requiring a considerable amount of medicinal ingredients to refine.
Qin Xuan did not display too high a level of Alchemy skill, as he had only just managed to refine the Medicinal Pill.
However, although the refining process appeared to be stumbling under Qin Xuan's deliberate control, he still managed to refine a Five-Rank Pill in the end.
Looking at this Medicinal Pill, Jiang Dan nodded repeatedly in excitement.
“Good, very good! With this Medicinal Pill, I’d like to see what those fellows can say!”
Jiang Dan was extraordinarily excited.
At this moment, he had no more doubts; his eyes were filled with delight.
After all, Qin Xuan had just completed the refining of a Five-Rank Pill right in front of him!
This meant that Qin Xuan's attainment in the Dao of Alchemy was already terrifying!
Thinking of this, Jiang Dan looked at Qin Xuan, his eyes now filled with fervent anticipation.
“Good, there are still two days left. Rest well during these two days, conserve your energy, and then defeat them in one go!”
Ge Dan said, rubbing his fists together, filled with anticipation.
Qin Xuan smiled, turning his gaze to the two and shaking his head slightly.
“No need for that. I’ve gained quite a bit these past few days in this Alchemy room and with the spiritual fire. Perhaps I’ll gain even more by staying here longer.”
Politely declining their suggestion, Qin Xuan still wanted to stay here.
Are you kidding? Using these few days, he had secretly set up the monitoring Formation within the Dantian.
He was determined to obtain this Crimson Flame Sky Severing Sword.
It was just that he still had no good way to deal with the spiritual fire.
Now that the opportunity was rare, he had to set up enough contingencies here.
Seeing Qin Xuan so diligent, Jiang Dan was naturally pleased. After giving Qin Xuan many precious medicinal ingredients, the two of them left.
As for the guard who had died earlier, he was directly and selectively forgotten.
No one cares about a dead person who has lost their value.
...
“Disciple, what do you think of the mountains and rivers here?”
Outside the Azure Green Sect mountains, an old man and a young man were gazing at the enormous mountain range, both exclaiming in admiration.
“Indeed, it’s beautiful mountains and waters here. With the great mountain behind and the long river in front, it truly embodies the stance of a Dragon and Tiger!”
“A place of beautiful mountains and waters, the Azure Green Sect's terrain is indeed excellent. It’s just that in recent years, the Sect has become weaker and weaker.”
The old man stroked his beard and smiled, nodding repeatedly.
The young man beside him also looked at the mountains and waters, nodding repeatedly.
“Not bad, truly not bad. It’s indeed much better than the harsh land of our Liang Prefecture. If our Wan Yao Valley could occupy this place, it would be of great benefit to future Alchemy.”
Hearing this, the old man beside him nodded, then gave a bitter smile.
“That’s impossible. Our Wan Yao Valley is best at Alchemy. Besides that, while our other skills aren’t entirely useless, they’re not presentable either.”
“It’s better in Liang Prefecture. Although the place is a bit poor and the environment isn’t great, it’s safe.”
“Moreover…”
The old man looked towards the center of the Profound Dragon Mountain Range, a hint of mockery on his lips.
“Your Junior Martial Uncle and their lineage, in a fit of pique, came to the Azure Green Sect and constantly complained of not being convinced, but what was the result?”
“Each generation is worse than the last!”
“So, while the mountains and waters are good, it still depends on the people. Come, I’ll take you to see your Junior Martial Uncle. It’s both to reminisce and to make sure they learn their lesson and completely submit!”
The old man waved his large sleeve, signaling his Disciple to follow behind.
“Yao Ling, among your three Disciples, you are my youngest, but do you know why I brought you here?”
The young man named Yao Ling shook his head in a somewhat bewildered manner.
“Our Wan Yao Valley is divided into four Dantians: Pill, Medicine, Powder, and Pellet. Our Dantian is named after Medicine, so it’s called the Medicine Dantian.”
“Currently, our Medicine Dantian is the strongest Dantian in Wan Yao Valley, but Jiang Dan and their Pill Dantian were once the strongest Dantian a hundred years ago.”
“Among the four Dantians, each has its own hidden treasures. Our Medicine Dantian has a Seven-Rank Pill Formula, but the Pill Dantian has a Seven-Rank Pill Formula.”
“This time, I brought you here, on one hand, to defeat them and prove that our Medicine Dantian is the strongest Dantian.”
“On the other hand, I hope that after you defeat them, you will reconcile with them.”
The old man spoke while looking at Yao Ling.
“Reconcile? Why? Don’t we have a grudge with them?”
Yao Ling asked, confused, while the old man shook his head.
“Enemies are only for a time. You are only seventeen this year, yet your talent in the Dao of Alchemy is something I have never seen in my life.”
“Once you defeat them, Jiang Dan and the others will surely be disheartened. At that time, I want you to acknowledge them as your teachers and inherit the Legacy of the Pill Dantian!”
The old man spoke, looking at Yao Ling with anticipation.
“Do I have to do that? Wouldn’t I become a traitor then?”
“Moreover, why would they hand over their Legacy to me?”
Yao Ling was confused and quickly argued.
“They will!”
