Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

The time for the Dan Conference is approaching.

The atmosphere on the entire Yuanling Mountain gradually became lively.

For alchemists, this alchemy gathering is a once-a-decade event and the best opportunity to make a name for themselves.

Yun Danzi sat in the alchemy room, stroking a warm jade box in his hand. These past few days, he had been in high spirits, and even his steps felt light and airy.

With this [Four-Patterned Nine-Aperture Divine Elixir] in hand, he was more confident than ever before about this alchemy gathering.

Although he didn't refine the elixir himself.

But so what?

Jiang Chuan's alchemy technique is exactly the same as his, and outsiders cannot tell the difference at all. This pill is equivalent to the work of Yun Danzi!

Even if someone questions it, he only needs to insist that it is a stroke of good fortune and an unrepeatable miracle.

It is perfectly reasonable.

Even if the Heavenly Fire Alchemist himself were there, he couldn't find the slightest fault.

At that time, he only needs to show this precious pill at the alchemy gathering.

Let alone that scoundrel Shen Henian.

Even those renowned Earth Fire Alchemists will be trampled under his feet!

Just imagining the astonished expressions on those guys' faces makes Yun Danzi feel that all the humiliation she's suffered over the years has been worth it.

While he was having a sweet dream, Jiang Chuan spent his days in the alchemy room, continuing to study the art of alchemy.

He knew.

Relying on Yun Danzi as a cover is ultimately not a foolproof solution.

This old fellow's talent is evident to all of Yuanling Mountain. If his alchemy skills suddenly improve by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, it will definitely attract a lot of unnecessary attention.

Since that's the case, he might as well take the exam and become an alchemist himself.

To set up their own business.

This was exactly what he had planned from the beginning.

……

Time flies by.

Until this day, Shi An suddenly rushed into the alchemy room with hurried steps.

"Master, Master Yun requests your immediate presence in the front hall!"

Jiang Chuan was refining a spiritual pill in the furnace when he heard this, and frowned slightly: "What's the rush?"

"Yes, someone has come to our door."

Shi An was an honest man, and he spoke simply and directly: "It's the buyer who provided the Nine Aperture Spirit Marrow Crystal last time!"

Jiang Chuan calmly said, "They've come, so they've come. The pills were promised to him anyway. Let Yun Danzi handle it. What do you need me for?"

"But that buyer refused to talk to Master Yun." Shi An looked troubled. "He specifically asked to see the master behind Master Yun. Master Yun said there was no master, but the man persisted and was very determined."

"Oh?"

Jiang Chuan paused for a moment.

To be able to deduce that someone else was actually refining the Nine Aperture Divine Elixir, this person is almost too perceptive.

He glanced at Shi An and asked in a flat tone, "What else did he say?"

Shi An swallowed hard and glanced at Jiang Chuan cautiously. "He said that he and the master are actually old friends who have met before, and that... if you refuse to see him, the consequences will be extremely serious. He told you to think it over carefully."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan's eyebrows immediately rose.

It wasn't that I was scared.

Rather, the amount of information revealed in the other party's statement was quite substantial.

He quickly reviewed all his movements since arriving at the inner sect of the Immortal Alliance. From the moment he followed Yun Danzi into Yuanling Mountain as a Dan boy, everything had been done in an extremely secretive manner. Only Zhao Kuo and Shi An knew about his true relationship with Yun Danzi, and these two were now his servants, so it was impossible for them to leak the secret.

So here's the question.

How did this person know?

After a moment of silence, Jiang Chuan suddenly chuckled and walked towards the front hall.

Let's meet once if we can.

He was curious to see just who this "old friend" really was.

……

Front hall of the alchemy room.

Yun Danzi sat upright in the main seat, his face ashen, fine beads of cold sweat beading on his forehead. He stared intently at the uninvited guest before him, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I've said it more than once, there's no expert here. This Nine Aperture Divine Pill is mine..."

That's enough.

The other person's voice wasn't loud, and their tone was polite, but their superior aura was like an invisible hand, forcibly suppressing Yun Danzi's words.

"Yun Danzi, you might be able to fool others with those words, but you won't need them in front of me." The man said with a mocking tone, "If you really had the ability to refine precious pills, you wouldn't still be a second-rate Earth Fire Alchemist after all these years. The Nine Aperture Divine Pill, placed right in front of you, you'd be lucky if you could even recognize all its pharmacological properties. Do I need to be more blunt?"

Yun Danzi's old face immediately turned a deep liver color.

That's really hurtful.

"What exactly are you...?"

Yun Danzi was speaking when she heard a series of unhurried footsteps behind her.

Jiang Chuan came out from the back room.

His face remained expressionless as his gaze calmly swept across the front hall before settling on the newcomer.

The man was tall and slender, dressed in a plain white Taoist robe. He looked to be no more than thirty years old, and exuded a strong aura of gloom. His eyes were long and narrow, with a cold, slanted shape.

He held a black jade folding fan in his hand, and with the fan closed, he tapped his palm lightly.

Jiang Chuan glanced at his face without making a sound.

Very strange.

It wasn't anyone he had ever met before.

When the other party mentioned an old friend, Jiang Chuan even guessed the unknown monster that stepped off the train.

but.

This person did not show any obvious hostility.

This only deepened Jiang Chuan's wariness.

"I am the person you are looking for."

Jiang Chuan stopped opposite him, looking directly at him: "Speak your mind."

The newcomer looked him up and down, a cryptic smile appearing on his face.

"You've got some nerve, actually daring to show your face in front of me."

Jiang Chuan's heart sank suddenly.

Yun Danzi jumped up from his chair, his face ashen. He subtly transmitted his voice, and the entire alchemy room immediately went on high alert.

Jiang Chuan narrowed his eyes, and his right hand made a subtle clenching motion. The Starry Sky Mirror was already floating and appearing deep within his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Who exactly are you?"

The man chuckled. "As I said, we've met once before, though you might not recognize me."

Jiang Chuan frowned, frantically trying to recall when he had ever seen that face before, but he couldn't remember at all.

Let me introduce myself first.

The man tapped his folding fan lightly and said slowly with a smile, "My name is Bai Qiuhan. Half a year ago, I caught a glimpse of you from afar in my cave."

Bai Qiuhan...! ?

That inner disciple who was suspected of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage in seclusion?!

Jiang Chuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and a bone-chilling coldness shot from his tailbone to the top of his head, making every hair on his body stand on end in an instant!
