Jiang Chen entered the room and inspected the Pill Furnace carefully before nodding slightly, "It can be used, but the quality of this Pill Furnace is not very good, I'm afraid it won't last long before it gets damaged."

"That's alright, just use it. If it breaks, it breaks!" Medicine Saint waved his hand indifferently.

"Okay!" Jiang Chen nodded, "Senior Medicine Saint, I'd like to refine some Elixirs here. There are too many herbs in your possession, and if we transport them just like this, I fear they might get damaged in the process. It'd be better to refine some of the herbs into Elixirs, and, what's more, I can also refine another batch of Purple Flame Broken Elixirs to aid in your breakthrough to the realm of an Innate Grandmaster."

"Good! Take whatever herbs you need, if it's not enough, tell me what you need, and I'll find a way to get it!" Medicine Saint's eyes lit up, staring intently at Jiang Chen.

"The herbs are sufficient!" Jiang Chen chuckled and shook his head, then turned to Qiu Boyuan, "President Qiu, please go back and inform Lin Lin and the others."

Qiu Boyuan nodded, "Okay."

"Wait a minute!"

Medicine Saint spoke softly, "Young Qiu, don't attempt your breakthrough in Dingjing by consuming the Purple Flame Broken Elixir. After you've delivered Young Jiang's message, come back here to break through. Blood Saber's people have all been eliminated by Young Jiang, and this place should be hidden for now. Breaking through to Innate Grandmaster will induce visions of heaven and earth, and if you do it in Dingjing, the commotion it causes will be immense!"

"Exactly, exactly, I even saw it in the records of the Martial Alliance. I would have forgotten about it if Senior Medicine Saint hadn't mentioned it!" Qiu Boyuan nodded repeatedly.

With the arrangements settled, Qiu Boyuan took his leave to return to Dingjing to relay the message for Jiang Chen and to handle some of the Martial Alliance's affairs.

When Qiu Boyuan returned to the valley with some essentials three days later, the valley was already filled with the fragrance of Elixirs.

That fragrance drifted through the valley for a whole half month. During this time, breathing in the aroma, Medicine Saint, Fu Ling'er, and Qiu Boyuan all felt that the speed of their cultivation had increased, and they all looked rejuvenated.

Boom!

This day, as the three of them sat in the hedge courtyard drinking tea, a loud booming sound erupted, and their expressions changed as they rushed to the last wooden cottage.

"This... Brother Jiang Chen was refining Elixirs, how did it turn into an explosion?" Fu Ling'er stared dumbfounded at the last wooden hut, unable to react for a moment.

At this moment, the wooden hut could no longer be called that; it was more like an explosion site, with the entire hut reduced to ruins, all the wood half charred, half ash white.

"Mr. Jiang!" Not seeing Jiang Chen's figure, Qiu Boyuan couldn't help calling out anxiously.

"Young Jiang!"

"Brother Jiang Chen!"

Medicine Saint and another person reacted, calling out anxiously.

Tears welled up in Fu Ling'er's eyes as she called out and rushed towards the ruins.

Medicine Saint and Qiu Boyuan hurriedly followed.

Rustle!

"Cough, cough..."

No sooner had the three rushed into the ruins than a disheveled figure emerged from a corner, coughing incessantly.

"Brother Jiang Chen." Fu Ling'er's face brightened, and she hurried over to support Jiang Chen.

"Good heavens, this Pill Furnace is huge; the explosion was powerful too!" Jiang Chen shook his head bitterly.

As Qiu Boyuan and another approached him, they asked worriedly, "Mr. Jiang, are you alright?"

"I'm okay." Jiang Chen shook his head gently and slowly extended his hand that had been tightly clenched into a fist, gradually opening it, "This is the second time the Pill Furnace has exploded while I was refining Purple Flame Broken Elixirs!"

"Three from one batch?! And they're all Supreme Elixirs!" Medicine Saint exclaimed in surprise after seeing the purple halo emanating from the Elixirs in Jiang Chen's hand.

Jiang Chen gave a slight smile, "Medicine Saint Senior, these past days President Qiu has been making preparations, and you must have been preparing as well, right? The two of you should break through together!"

"Alright! I'll not stand on ceremony with you, young fellow!" The Medicine Saint nodded, reached out, and took a Purple Flame Broken Mirror Elixir from Jiang Chen's hand.

The four of them went to the front courtyard where Jiang Chen washed up and changed his clothes. When he returned to the front courtyard, outside the gate, the Medicine Saint and Qiu Boyuan were sitting cross-legged on the ground ten meters apart, attempting to break through to the realm of Innate Grandmasters.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, glanced at the Blood Saber and Blood Staff placed to the side, pondered for a moment, and reached out to pick up both the Blood Staff and the Blood Saber.

He glanced at Fu Ling'er, who was beside them with a serious expression, acting as their protector, then Jiang Chen turned and went to the backside of the first wooden hut. There were some things he still couldn't let others discover, for he had no way to explain them clearly.

Placing the Blood Saber to one side, Jiang Chen sat down cross-legged, holding the Blood Staff, and started to circulate the blood energy within his body.

Humm humm humm!

As the cultivation technique operated, the Blood Staff in Jiang Chen's hand began to tremble violently.

"Truly worthy of being the holy staff of the Blood Saber organization, it even has an instinct to resist?" Jiang Chen said with a cold smile, and with a low shout, he commanded, "Meld with me!"

Whoosh!

As Jiang Chen accelerated the operation of his cultivation technique, the Blood Staff slowly began to melt from its base, turning into a thick blood-red fog. Gradually, the entire Blood Staff melted, and a blood-colored vortex appeared above Jiang Chen's head, with the blood fog continuously entering his body through the vortex!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

A series of wave-like sounds rose, and Jiang Chen suddenly blacked out, followed by a brightening.

When Jiang Chen regained his vision, he found himself not in the valley anymore, but in the cave where he had obtained the cultivation technique and the ancient medical arts.

"Back here again?"

Muttering to himself in a low voice, Jiang Chen ran out of the cave and, just like the previous time, ran towards the elusive peak.

Humm humm humm!

A tremendous pressure came again, and Jiang Chen stood once more before the magnificent palace, which now revealed part of its true form.

The entire palace was shrouded in a blood-red fog, filled with a mysterious and eerie atmosphere.

Above the palace, there sat in the sky a figure who radiated golden light as if suppressing the palace!

"Excellent, excellent. My descendant, grow quickly, mature quickly! Grow quickly to rescue me, and we shall dominate Cang Qiong!"

Suddenly, an ancient voice resounded in Jiang Chen's mind, and the blood fog enveloping the palace trembled violently.

Jiang Chen was startled and asked in amazement, "Who are you?"

Swoosh swoosh!

In an instant, two rays of golden light shot towards him.

Jiang Chen's heart jolted, and he looked up to see that the giant figure sitting in mid-air had opened its eyes, staring straight at him.

"Hmm? Youngster, you've actually cultivated the Blood Fiend Demon Art?" The figure clad in golden light spoke with a solemn face, and a strong intent to kill flashed through his eyes.

Jiang Chen's heart suddenly tightened. He had a feeling that the Blood Fiend Demon Art referred to by the divine figure was indeed the cultivation technique he practiced, and this person had already harbored the intent to kill him.

And once they made a move, he feared he would perish immediately!
