Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

What truly surprised Jiang Chuan was not the improvement in his cultivation level.

Instead, an unimaginably vast flow of information was surging into his sea of ​​consciousness through the Starry Sky Mirror.

Alchemy!

Yun Danzi's 112 years of experience and insights in the Dao of Alchemy poured into Jiang Chuan's mind like a flood that had been unleashed.

Jiang Chuan closed his eyes slightly, feeling those memories and instincts that originally belonged to him becoming his own at an incredible speed.

He was no stranger to this feeling; he had experienced it before when sharing Ma Yuankui's cultivation level, but this time the amount of information was far greater than before.

Yun Danzi's alchemical expertise accumulated over a full century.

It all belongs to him!

Jiang Chuan opened his eyes and suddenly asked, "What is the status of an Earth Fire Alchemist within the Immortal Alliance?"

Yun Danzi respectfully replied, "Master, the alchemists of the Immortal Alliance are divided into three ranks: Spirit Fire, Earth Fire, and Heaven Fire, and each rank is further divided into three levels."

"Ordinary spirit fire alchemists are already revered figures, while earth fire alchemists can even have their own independent alchemy room!"

"Your subordinate is at the first level of Earth Fire."

"Barely qualified to open an independent alchemy room on Yuanling Mountain."

"Although it is just a basic Class C alchemy room, it has all the necessary facilities and the benefits are comparable to those of an inner disciple."

"As for the Heavenly Fire Alchemist... there are only a handful in the entire Yuanling Mountain. Each one is a great figure who is on par with the Mountain Lord. Even Foundation Establishment True Persons would compete to buy the pills they refine."

As he said this, a hint of pride involuntarily crept into his voice.

But he quickly realized his current identity and immediately restrained himself, lowering his head and waiting for Jiang Chuan's next question.

Jiang Chuan didn't pay attention to his little scheme.

He was thinking about something else.

Alchemist.

This is a very lucrative profession.

Moreover, he possesses the ability to extract everything, making it a profession tailor-made for him!

He used to secretly refine spiritual materials for others in his cave. He worked himself to the bone for a month and could only earn a few thousand contribution points at most. He also had to be on guard against being targeted.

But with the identity of an alchemist as a cover, he could openly and legitimately make money by refining pills.

Fully utilize the extraction capabilities of all things.

At that time.

Contribution points are pouring in!

Jiang Chuan immediately made arrangements. He didn't have much of a foundation in the outer sect and didn't have much to prepare. After Yun Danzi prepared the Dao certificate for him as a Dan Tong, he would go to Yuanling Mountain with Yun Danzi.

With Yun Danzi's alchemist status paving the way, the checkpoints that originally required multiple layers of identity verification were all cleared without a single question being asked.

The disciples guarding the gate even acted somewhat obsequiously towards Yun Danzi.

This,

That is the identity of an alchemist.

Yun Danzi's cultivation level may not be as high as some of the more talented outer disciples, but the greatest strength of a pill master is never his own cultivation level, but his network of connections.

No one knows how extensive a master alchemist's network of connections is.

No one would want to offend an alchemist.

Just as Yun Danzi said, although he was nominally an outer disciple like Jiang Chuan, his status as a Fire Alchemist made even ordinary inner disciples treat him with utmost respect!

The two soon arrived in front of a huge floating island suspended in the sea of ​​clouds.

Below the floating islands, the clouds surged.

Countless fine golden patterns could be faintly seen flowing endlessly in the clouds.

This is the teleportation hub leading to the inner sect, a place that outer sect disciples may never be qualified to set foot in their entire lives.

If it weren't for Yun Danzi guiding the way, Jiang Chuan wouldn't even have been able to find the location of this teleportation array.

The one guarding the formation was an inner disciple at the seventh level of Qi Refining. After checking Yun Danzi's token, his gaze lingered on Jiang Chuan for a moment.

Yun Danzi introduced with a calm demeanor: "This is my newly recruited alchemy apprentice. He has decent aptitude. I'll take him back to help out."

The disciple didn't ask any more questions, only giving Jiang Chuan a pitying look before opening the passage.

After a moment of dizziness, a magnificent scene came into Jiang Chuan's view.

The sky here is extremely high and far, with three bright suns of different sizes hanging in the clear blue sky. Their light is gentle and not dazzling, making the whole sky look like a fairyland.

In the distance, mountains float above a sea of ​​clouds, connected by white jade rainbow bridges. Waterfalls cascade down from the edges of the suspended mountains, turning into a misty spray in mid-air, with rainbows spanning across them. Flocks of cranes soar across the sky, emitting clear and melodious cries.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth permeating the air was so rich that it almost solidified.

Take a puff.

I felt a wave of comfort throughout my body.

In the very center of that sea of ​​clouds, seventy-two majestic immortal mountains are arranged in a ring, like seventy-two pillars supporting the sky, guarding an even more magnificent giant island in the center.

That is the true core of the Immortal Alliance, the Heavenly Pivot Sacred Realm, which even inner disciples may not be qualified to set foot in.

As for what's right in front of him now.

That is Yuanling Mountain.

The sheer size of this immortal mountain far exceeded Jiang Chuan's imagination. Rather than a mountain, it was more like a piece of land floating in a sea of ​​clouds. The mountain was covered with pavilions and palaces, and the top of the mountain was shrouded in a layer of pale purple glow. That glow was the light of earth fire shining from inside the mountain, making the entire Yuanling Mountain look like a burning alchemy furnace.

A truly celestial aura.

This thought burst forth irrepressibly from the depths of Jiang Chuan's heart.

The seventy-two immortal mountains within the inner sect of the Immortal Alliance are all colossal objects suspended above the clouds, like seventy-two ancient deities who have existed since time immemorial, standing quietly atop the sky, overlooking all living beings and the vast sea of ​​clouds below.

"No wonder outer disciples are so eager to squeeze into the inner sect."

Jiang Chuan withdrew his gaze, his tone somewhat complicated.

Yun Danzi had already straightened his Taoist robe. He had changed out of the dark green robe that had been ripped apart in the explosion. Now he was wearing a brand new alchemist's robe with a pale gold flame emblem embroidered on his chest, which was the identity mark of an Earth Fire Alchemist.

He instinctively wanted to bow, but remembering Jiang Chuan's instructions and afraid of revealing a flaw, he forcibly stopped himself from bowing.

He secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "Master, please follow me. My alchemy room is located halfway up the mountain. Along the way, I can give you a tour of the layout of Yuanling Mountain."

Jiang Chuan nodded and followed.

"The layout of Yuanling Mountain is roughly divided into three levels from bottom to top. At the foot of the mountain are the residences of alchemists and servants, as well as warehouses for storing spiritual materials. This is the most diverse area, with all sorts of people from all walks of life."

"The area halfway up the mountain is where alchemists who have reached the highest level live. There are twenty-four independent alchemy rooms, and the one I own is the seventh alchemy room of the Bing class."

"In addition to the 132 alchemy apprentices in my alchemy room, there are also 12 spirit fire alchemists."

"I will introduce you to each of you after we meet."

"However, I will publicly declare that you are my personal alchemy apprentice, holding a higher status than ordinary spirit fire alchemists, so you don't need to waste your energy socializing with them..."

"As for the mountaintop, it is a forbidden area that only Heavenly Fire Alchemists are qualified to set foot in. It is shrouded in the restrictions of the mountain-protecting array all year round. Ordinary disciples cannot even get close. Apart from Heavenly Fire Alchemists, only the mountain lord and a few inner sect elders can freely enter and exit. It is said that the purity of the earth fire veins at the mountaintop is so high that it can be directly used to refine high-grade spiritual pills..."

Jiang Chuan silently memorized this information, but his eyes were darting around.

The scenery along the way truly deserves to be called a blessed land of immortals.

Waterfalls and springs cascade down the mountainside, their water so clear it's almost transparent, refracting rainbows in the sunlight. Unknown spiritual trees grow on both sides of the road, their canopies perpetually shrouded in a thin, pale golden mist. It's not some kind of magic, but simply the spiritual mist formed by the trees breathing in and out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Several brightly colored birds landed on the branches, tilting their heads to observe the two people passing by, and uttering melodious and clear chirps.

In the distance, there is a terraced medicinal garden, where lush and verdant herbs gleam with a warm luster under the sunlight.

Several young medicine boys were bent over, busy working in the fields.

Some are watering.

Some are being treated for parasites.

Someone was carefully placing a freshly dug spiritual herb into a jade box, preparing to send it to the alchemy room for storage.

Everything seemed to be in good order.

It exudes an ethereal aura.

It wasn't until Jiang Chuan walked past the herb garden and his gaze swept over the row of spiritual herbs on the terraced fields that his pupils suddenly contracted.

That's not a magical herb.

Or.

Those are the spiritual herbs growing on them.

These high-grade spiritual herbs, brimming with rich spiritual energy, actually grew from the skulls of living people!

The bodies of those people were buried in the soil, with only their bald heads exposed. Their scalps were neatly cut open and planted with various kinds of spiritual herbs. The roots of the spiritual herbs were embedded in their skulls, drawing nutrients from their physical bodies.

These people aren't even dead yet!

A cultivator's Dharma body is the purest spiritual material. Using the Dharma body to cultivate high-grade spiritual herbs is like using a miniature spiritual energy vein to irrigate crops, and the effect is hundreds of times better than any natural spiritual soil!

This sentence flashed through Jiang Chuan's mind.

He had only heard about it before.

Even now, witnessing it with my own eyes, I still find this scene extremely shocking!
