Wu Yong, unaware that he had been targeted by Qin Xuan, secretly left the area.
"Alright, the competition is over. Everyone, you may leave!"
Ge Dan walked over, collected all the gifts and invitation cards that were handed to him, and then sent everyone away.
As for the Elders of the Sect, they were all beaming with joy at this moment.
"Excellent, truly excellent! This is a promising talent. Your Dan Peak must cultivate him well."
"It's not just Dan Peak; he is also a Disciple of Lei Yun Peak. I heard that Lei Yun Peak was filled with lightning before, so it seems our Azure Green Sect's Lei Dao Legacy has found its successor."
These Elders discussed animatedly, all admiring Qin Xuan.
Only Zhao Cang, who was off to the side, looked very displeased.
He had already prepared himself; once Qin Xuan failed, he would seize the opportunity to attack Dan Peak.
With Blood Peak on his side, he was even more confident of victory.
But now, things were different.
Qin Xuan won, and he defeated Wan Yao Valley in Alchemy.
He knew exactly what this meant.
It meant that this person could no longer be removed openly.
Furthermore, as long as Qin Xuan didn't make a major mistake, the Elders of the Azure Green Sect and the Sect Master would proactively help Qin Xuan resolve any issues.
Thinking of this, Zhao Cang flung his arm and left.
It seemed that, in the future, he could only use underhanded methods to deal with Qin Xuan.
The Elders, meanwhile, nodded repeatedly at Qin Xuan, affirming his strength in Alchemy.
Qin Xuan naturally nodded and agreed with these Elders.
After all, being in the Azure Green Sect, maintaining good relations with these Elders of the Sect was always beneficial.
"If the Elders think so highly of our Dan Peak's Disciple, they can offer more encouragement."
Ge Dan walked over, smiling as he spoke to the other Elders.
Hearing this, the other Elders smiled and each took out some good items to give to Qin Xuan.
"Since Grandmaster Ge has spoken, it wouldn't be right for us not to show our appreciation."
Before Qin Xuan could speak, Ge Dan quickly collected the items.
"Good, then many thanks to the Elders."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the other Elders bid farewell.
Once everyone else had left Dan Peak, Ge Dan handed the received gifts to Qin Xuan.
"You were too embarrassed to accept these things, so I helped you. Now, they are returned to their rightful owner."
"Oh, and Senior Brother has been waiting for you. Come along with me."
Saying this, Ge Dan gestured for Qin Xuan to follow him into the main hall at the peak.
At this moment, inside the hall, there was no one else besides Jiang Dan.
After bringing Qin Xuan in, Ge Dan bowed to Jiang Dan, who was seated above.
"Senior Brother, Qin Xuan has arrived."
Nodding slightly, Jiang Dan took a deep breath and looked at Qin Xuan.
"Qin Xuan, are you willing to join our lineage and, from now on, inherit our Legacy?"
Inherit the Legacy?
This was truly an attempt to take him as a Disciple.
Becoming a Disciple was good, but Qin Xuan was someone who didn't want to get involved in too many matters.
Just as he was about to refuse, Jiang Dan interrupted his thoughts.
"I know you want to refuse now, but before you do, let me explain the situation clearly, and then you can decide whether or not to inherit my Legacy."
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Dan seemed to have made up his mind.
"After inheriting the Legacy of our lineage, I can give you our lineage's Rank Seven Pill Formula and token. Not only that, but you will also be qualified to compete for the position of Valley Master in Wan Yao Valley in the future. Of course, you might not care about the Valley Master position, but besides that, you will also be qualified to view various rare Pill Formulas in Wan Yao Valley."
It sounded very good, but Qin Xuan was noncommittal.
Pill Formulas were indeed good, but the Empress had given him quite a few Pill Formulas before he left.
Although most of these Pill Formulas were ordinary ones of low Rank, they were numerous.
What he needed were higher-Rank Pill Formulas, such as Rank Seven or even Rank Eight Pill Formulas.
Seeing that Qin Xuan remained unmoved, Jiang Dan gave a bitter smile.
"Are these not enough to attract you? Alright, then I'll tell you my trump card."
Thinking of this, Jiang Dan coughed lightly.
"Our lineage has a hidden Rank Seven Pill Formula. This Pill Formula can only be kept by the leader of this lineage."
Rank Seven Pill Formula.
Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
To be honest, while a Rank Seven Pill Formula was very good, it wasn't enough to make him join this lineage just for that one Pill Formula.
"It's not just our lineage; the other few lineages also have such a Rank Seven formula in their possession. Some are powders, some are pills, and some are Medicinal Pills, but no matter which kind, they are all Rank Seven. These are the Legacy items of each lineage in our Wan Yao Valley."
"Wan Yao Valley is, after all, the number one Alchemist Sect in the Great Qian Dynasty. Although Rank Seven Pill Formulas are rare, they are not enough for us to value them so highly."
Just then, Jiang Dan slowly spoke.
"It seems there's a story behind this Pill Formula."
As Qin Xuan spoke, Jiang Dan nodded.
"Because the various formulas from each of our lineages, when combined, will form a new Pill Formula. This Pill Formula is for a Rank Nine Medicinal Pill."
"Pfft!"
Qin Xuan, who was drinking tea, directly spat out a mouthful of tea.
"What did you say? A Rank Nine Pill Formula!"
A Rank Nine Pill Formula!
With Rank Ten Medicinal Pills existing only in legends, a Rank Nine Pill Formula was already the highest Rank of Pill Formula.
In this situation, Qin Xuan naturally understood the value of a Rank Nine Pill Formula.
"You're not joking, are you? A Rank Nine Medicinal Pill Pill Formula? Why didn't your Wan Yao Valley combine the Pill Formulas and medicinal formulas earlier to form a Rank Nine Pill Formula? Isn't waiting this long a waste of time?"
Hearing this, Ge Dan smiled and shook his head.
"Young Master, a Pill Formula isn't that simple to use. Besides the Pill Formula, the Alchemist's strength must also be able to keep up."
"Even if we had the Pill Formula, without a Rank Nine Alchemist, we wouldn't be able to refine the Medicinal Pill. What's more, without a Rank Nine Alchemist to guard it, the emergence of a Rank Nine Pill Formula would be seeking death."
Jiang Dan said, shaking his head repeatedly.
This was reasonable.
A Rank Nine Pill Formula could be said to be priceless. How could it appear casually?
Once such a thing was targeted by someone with ulterior motives, it could be said that Wan Yao Valley would not be far from the destruction of its Sect.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan sighed with much emotion.
An infant carrying a treasure through the market would surely have it stolen.
If they encountered someone ruthless, fearing future retaliation from Wan Yao Valley, they might even completely eradicate Wan Yao Valley in the future.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan found it very reasonable.
"So that's why it has always been dispersed and kept by several families?"
Qin Xuan frowned.
"That's right. I hope that one day you can bring this Rank Seven Pill Formula to Wan Yao Valley, obtain the items from the other peaks, and then synthesize the Rank Nine Pill Formula."
A Rank Nine Pill Formula.
This time, Qin Xuan was genuinely tempted.
But then he smiled.
"This thing probably won't be easy to get, right? If I take this, not only will I have to change my name, but you probably have other requirements as well."
