Rebellious Old Servant: From Gatekeeper to Immortal Emperor

Qin Xiao simply waved his hands.

In an instant, boundless and powerful energy surged from his body.

It actually solidified into a series of incredibly profound marks, surging towards the alchemy furnace in layers upon layers.

Those marks seem to be ancient seal characters containing endless secrets.

No one present recognized the characters, but just seeing them caused their minds to go blank, and they felt an inexplicable sense of awe. It was as if these seal characters possessed an extremely terrifying majesty, like an ancient deity, and anyone who looked directly at them was offending the heavens and blaspheming the supreme.

One after another, blood and qi imprints were injected into the alchemy furnace.

In an instant, the inside of the alchemy furnace began to boil, like a surging flood or a volcanic eruption, as if some earth-shattering change was taking place, turning decay into magic!

"What kind of alchemy technique is this? It's so amazing..."

Xu Yiren stared intently at Qin Xiao's hands.

As a doctor, she was certainly not ignorant of alchemy and knew many alchemy methods, but Qin Xiao's method was something she had never seen before. She felt that it was more mysterious and powerful than any alchemy method she had ever seen.

At this moment, Xu Yiren finally realized that Qin Xiao in front of her could not only refine Qingluo Pill, but his alchemy skills were far beyond her imagination.

"Could it be—"

Xu Yiren's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and an idea suddenly came to her mind.

Could it be that the man in front of me is a high-ranking alchemist?

But the thought vanished from my mind as soon as it arose.

What am I thinking?

Xu Yiren smiled wryly. How could a true alchemist possibly appear in a small place like Black Mountain City?

Even in the capital of Fengzhou, a first-grade alchemist is a truly important figure, whose status far surpasses that of a Marrow Refining Realm expert. Even Spirit Refining Realm experts would show him the utmost respect and dare not provoke him.

Black Mountain City is just one of the most inconspicuous and remote small cities among the dozens of cities in Fengzhou. How could such a powerful person appear there?

"It's a pity that I don't know when I will be able to meet a qualified alchemist. The Xuanpo Pill formula passed down in my family is a true spiritual pill formula, which can only be refined by qualified alchemists."

"Only by consuming the Profound Soul Pill can my Xu family bloodline undergo a transformation, allowing me to advance to the legendary Spirit Body. The Spirit Body is a physique above even the highest-grade mortal physique. Such a physique is unparalleled and unmatched even in the entire Great Xuan Dynasty."

"But my Xu family is now much more impoverished than the Li family, so how could I possibly hire a first-grade alchemist to refine pills? Perhaps I have no hope in this lifetime."

An ambiguous look flashed in Xu Yiren's eyes as she bitterly pondered the secret she had never dared to reveal to anyone.

Her ancestors were once a terrifying family far beyond what most people could imagine, possessing a very ancient bloodline.

By consuming just one Xuanpo Pill, one can elevate their bloodline to a level that is said to be even higher than the most advanced mortal physique—a spiritual body!

During the peak of her ancestors' lineage, every member of the family was given a Xuanpo Pill at birth, which immediately granted them a spiritual body, making them incredible and unparalleled geniuses.

It's easy to imagine how terrifying such a family must be.

However, later on, for reasons unknown, her ancestors suffered a great calamity, and her family was almost wiped out.

The few remaining cats and kittens scattered to various places, hiding their identities for fear of being exposed.

Xu Yiren's family came to Black Mountain City in this way and has continued to live in this city to this day.

however.

After the Xu family fell into decline, the Xuanpo Pill, which everyone could take from birth, became an extremely rare and coveted treasure.

As a result, the Xu family never had the chance to obtain the Xuanpo Pill again. They could only strive for this goal generation after generation, hoping to find a trustworthy alchemist or train one themselves.

Unfortunately, this goal has not yet been achieved.

That is why Xu Yiren has such longing and respect for the word "alchemist".

When they first thought Qin Xiao was impersonating an alchemist, they immediately became furious and their tone became impolite.

In fact, the reason why Xu Yiren initially became friends with Li Ruoyou was because she wanted to get to know the alchemist Luo Chen through the Li family.

After all, Luo Chen, the only alchemist in Black Mountain City with the potential to become a rank-one alchemist, was also Xu Yiren's only hope.

Who would have thought that alchemist Luo Chen would be such a beast, forcing and suppressing the Li family in order to obtain Li Ruoyou's spiritual body.

Xu Yiren was extremely disappointed in this kind of scoundrel. She knew that even if Luo Chen became a first-grade alchemist, he was still unreliable.

She was a weak woman who approached Luo Chen with a formula for the Xuanpo Pill, asking him to refine it. There was only one outcome: she would lose both her money and her life, and might even become Luo Chen's slave.

Xu Yiren had already given up all hope, thinking that she would never have a chance to meet a high-level alchemist in her life.

But now it has been discovered that someone's alchemy skills far surpass Luo Chen's.

You can imagine how excited she was at that moment.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Yiren stared intently at Qin Xiao with her beautiful eyes.

He thought to himself.

Although Qin Xiao is unlikely to be a first-grade alchemist now, with his skill level, he has a better chance of becoming an alchemist than Luo Chen.

Perhaps I can befriend this person.

However, thinking about how she had offended Qin Xiao with her words before, Xu Yiren couldn't help but feel distressed. She knew she shouldn't have been so presumptuous.

Now, how can I win back Qin Xiao's opinion of me?

"Perhaps, we can tell this Master Lin Dan that secret."

A hint of hesitation and conflict flashed in Xu Yiren's eyes. After all, that secret was also very important to her and could not be revealed to outsiders casually.

Let's not dwell on Xu Yiren's current dilemma.

Li Ruoyou watched as Qin Xiao's alchemy techniques, which turned the rotten into the miraculous, were displayed.

But he became excited.

At this moment, she finally believed completely that Qin Xiao could really refine the Azure Luo Pill.

Such a powerful alchemy technique is enough to prove that Qin Xiao's ability far surpasses Luo Chen's by more than ten times.

If even Qin Xiao can't refine the Azure Luo Pill, then who can?

Just then.

In fact, her idea was correct.

The alchemy technique Qin Xiao was using at this moment was derived from the alchemy techniques in that alchemy book.

It is called the Danzhuan Seal Method!

It is an extremely advanced method of elixir refining.

This technique requires an extremely high level of skill from the alchemist; even among those at the entry-level alchemist level, not just anyone can use it.

In addition, since this was Qin Xiao's first time refining pills, he was worried about problems and deliberately used some of his "beauty energy" to improve his comprehension.

To avoid making mistakes in alchemy, losing face would be secondary.

If he loses Li Ruoyou's trust, he won't be able to get the corresponding spiritual medicine.

Under such serious circumstances.

Naturally, the alchemy process proceeded without the slightest deviation.

Not long after.

As the alchemy furnace suddenly trembled, a rich and refreshing fragrance burst forth.

"The elixir is complete!"

Qin Xiao let out a long sigh of relief, then calmly looked at Li Ruoyou:

"Patriarch Li, I have fulfilled my mission; the Azure Luo Pill is complete."

"really!"

Li Ruoyou was extremely excited and stared intently at the alchemy furnace.

Seeing this, Qin Xiao waved his hand.

Then, three perfectly round, thumb-sized, blue pills were scooped out of the alchemy furnace.
