Alchemy Alliance.

Heavenly Grade Alchemy Room

The Purple Copper Incense Burner sent up spirals of blue smoke.

The air was filled with the mixed scent of pill fragrance and earth fire.

Chen Sheng's expression was like an ancient well without waves.

A light flick from his fingertips!

A dragon eye-sized Original Fire Bead shot out, accurately entering the depths of the earth fire.

Buzz——!

In an instant.

Chen Sheng felt a clear connection established with his heart spirit.

As if his arms commanded his fingers!

With the Fire Bead as a medium, the wildly agitated earth fire was immediately tamed, transforming into a gentle yet majestic blue-white pillar of flame, surging into the furnace's fire opening.

Pure, stable!

Far surpassing ordinary array control.

Chen Sheng bent his finger and pointed in the air.

"Shaping!"

Inside the furnace.

The raging flames suddenly surged and condensed as if a living creature, transforming into a vividly lifelike three-legged flame golden toad.

The golden toad was entirely composed of pure earth fire, with its eyes flickering with red light.

"Ribbit!"

A silent wave echoed through the Pill Furnace.

The fire toad opened its big mouth.

A purple fire tongue, like a whip, precisely swept up the spiritual medicine already prepared at the furnace mouth, rolling it back into its belly.

A scalding stream of light flowed within the golden toad's belly.

Just two breaths!

"Poof!"

The toad's mouth opened again.

A perfectly round liquid medicine sphere was steadily spat out, floating at the center of the furnace chamber.

All flame aura gone, as gentle as a bead.

This process.

He Ping'an stood beside Chen Sheng, seeing everything clearly, and was already stunned.

Even though he had witnessed it many times.

Each time he saw it, he was amazed as if seeing a transcendent being.

This process seemed simple, but it was Chen Sheng's meticulous flame manipulation that enabled him to complete this 'Golden Toad Offering Medicine.'

Chen Sheng did not stop, bending his finger to point at the medicine sphere.

"Divide!"

The medicine sphere silently split into two spheres, floating at the upper and lower poles of the furnace chamber.

Chen Sheng's hands turned into afterimages.

Dozens of finger techniques embodying exquisite Li Fire Spiritual Power were injected into the furnace, each spell precisely hitting nodes of potion conflict, impurity extraction, and spiritual power dispersion.

"Spin!"

"Condense!"

"Spirit Lock!"

"Purification!"

This was the technique after fusing the essence of Tier Two inheritance.

The subtleties were displayed to the fullest.

"Ping'an, you collect the pills!"

He Ping'an jolted: "Yes!"

Immediately, he focused entirely, executing the Pill Collection Technique meticulously into the Pill Furnace.

Not much later.

A light yellow elixir pill spun out, marked with a pill pattern, its body round, fragrance pure, already a nine-tenths potent superior spirit pill.

He Ping'an's eyes sparkled with joy.

Chen Sheng merely nodded slightly:

"Not bad."

"But there's room for improvement, watch this!"

With that.

Chen Sheng executed the same Pill Collection Technique.

Subtle, indescribable changes occurred in the variation of his finger technique and the points of spiritual power injection.

Swoosh!

Another elixir pill flew out, its rotation emanating a crisp medicinal power far surpassing the previous one.

This one bore three pill patterns, clearly top grade.

Chen Sheng spoke:

"Do you see the issue?"

He Ping'an shook his head blankly, knowing well it was the same pill refinement but also the same pill collection technique.

Why was there such a disparity?

Chen Sheng sighed inwardly, still limited by talent!

Back in the day, Qin Yuan understood it by himself without needing to be taught.

"Rhythm!"

Chen Sheng quietly reminded, then executed the technique again, carefully demonstrating.

He Ping'an somewhat understood, nodding.

Seeing this.

Chen Sheng had to explain further.

He opened the furnace again, letting He Ping'an experience it himself with different rhythms.

He Ping'an finally had a sudden realization:

"So different rhythms make such a noticeable difference. Master, I see your rhythm is not fixed, so what rhythm should I adopt?"

When Chen Sheng heard this, he knew his disciple only understood the 'technique' but not the 'Dao.'

How could this kind of thing be fixed?

He began explaining to He Ping'an in detail the reasoning until He Ping'an grasped a bit of it.

Only then did Chen Sheng let him leave.

To ponder it carefully afterward.

...

Jiuhua District, main hall of Heart Inquiry Hall.

A rich and mysterious fragrance of makeup filled the air.

The hall was full of beautiful women with varying body shapes, their chatter like the singing of orioles.

Ten beauties, each skilled in their own right, all dressed in carefully tailored gowns, standing behind He Manlou.

Chen Sheng looked at He Manlou:

"Brother, you really brought them?"

"Isn't this number too much?"

He Manlou laughed heartily:

"Is there any doubt? These ten are all talented and beautiful women from my He Clan, all exceptional. Brother, there's really no way to choose among them, so why don't you accept them all."

As he spoke, He Manlou handed over a storage pouch and whispered in Chen Sheng's ear:

"This is five years' worth of cultivation resources for them, so treat them a bit favorably."

"As we agreed, the children born will belong to the He Clan. Each child is worth one thousand Spirit Stones, and if they possess a Spiritual Root, the amount will double."

"Brother, don't go back on your word!"

Chen Sheng nodded:

"Rest assured, Brother."

He understood He Manlou's intentions and believed he would take good care of the children.

Chen Sheng mused to himself:

"The talent of Dragon Spirit and Tiger Fierce is beneficial for having more and better offspring."

"I believe I won't disappoint Brother He."

Otherwise, he wouldn't feel comfortable taking the money.

Not long after.

He Manlou left.

Before leaving, he specifically advised Chen Sheng:

"Brother Chen, recently another secret realm has opened up. Don't join those reckless fighters; focus on alchemy and having children instead."

Chen Sheng laughed heartily:

"Rest assured, Brother, I quite value my life!"

...

Inside the cave.

Only Chen Sheng and the ten beautiful women remained.

Chen Sheng displayed a friendly smile.

He asked them to introduce themselves and inquired about their wishes.

Clearly, there was no coercion involved!

The He Clan had more women than men.

But the Yunxiang bloodline was not favorable to women, resulting in many females in the clan having mediocre talent.

As a result.

When the girls heard they could improve the next generation's talent, and the children born would be directly supported by the clan.

They would still have plenty of cultivation resources for themselves, so they eagerly competed for this great opportunity!

In the end, these ten excellent women.

Essentially represented several branches of the He Clan, and eliminating any one of them was not good, so He Manlou had no choice but to send them all to Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng, with a cheerful expression, stated.

From now on, we are one family.

The cave was spacious enough.

He quickly arranged accommodations for them.

Then set an agreement; apart from the core cultivation room, the rest of the cave was entrusted to them.

...

Time passed slowly.

Tended by a group of 'sisters.'

Chen Sheng's life gained an extra touch of interest.

He also did not neglect cultivation, passing on the Joyful Technique to them and setting a scientifically reasonable schedule, managing time effectively.

With work and rest balanced.

The efficiency of cultivation increased rather than decreased!

That day.

A few neighbors came to visit.

Ever since Chen Sheng became a disciple of the Pill Hall, he became someone they looked up to and voluntarily gathered around!

The dragon has its path, the snake has its way.

Chen Sheng did not distance himself from them either.

Gu Taohua, seeing the lively scene in the mansion, couldn't help but chuckle:

"I used to think Fellow Daoist Chen was a dedicated cultivator. It seems I was mistaken."

Wang Juhui, on the side, winked and said:

"Fellow Daoist Chen is truly a model for us all!"

Li Rulong, with a serious expression, stated:

"Fellow Daoist Chen, with your talents, it's right to pass them on. This contributes to the cultivation realm."

Hearing this, they all smiled slightly.

After some pleasantries.

The three finally got to the point.

Li Rulong spoke up:

"Recently, in the Jiyun Mountain Range, a secret realm was discovered. Has Fellow Daoist Chen heard about it?"

Upon hearing the words secret realm, Chen Sheng immediately became highly alert:

"I've heard, are you inviting me?"

Gu Taohua quickly shook his head:

"With Fellow Daoist Chen's boundless potential, how dare we let you risk yourself?"

Wang Juhui nodded along:

"It's just the three of us thinking of seizing the opportunity, but we lack life-saving items, so we come to seek your help."

Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng lightly nodded.

He had some understanding of the trio's situation.

Among the three, Li Rulong was the most anxious.

He was the oldest, already at Qi Cultivation Perfection, getting closer to the age limit of sixty.

Gu Taohua and Wang Juhui, on the other hand.

They were still some distance from Qi Cultivation Perfection.

One was a High Grade Talisman Master, and the other a Middle Grade Array Master.

They sounded prestigious.

But their actual income wasn't high.

Apart from daily cultivation and cave rental…

They could only save a few hundred Spirit Stones annually, making it difficult to purchase a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object.

No wonder they had the idea of taking risks.

Chen Sheng lightly nodded:

"What do you need?"

Li Rulong spoke:

"With the initial opening of the secret realm, all the high tier talismans in the Immortal City have long been snatched up."

"We want to acquire three Tier Two Talismans through Fellow Daoist's channel for protection."

"Fellow Daoist Chen, rest assured, the price will be twenty percent higher than the market rate, ensuring you don't lose out."

Chen Sheng pondered for a moment, getting Tier Two Talismans through the sect's channel was not difficult.

He nodded:

"Alright."

The three exchanged glances, eyes filled with joy.
