Dashing Student

Such a steadfast disciple of the Qingshan Sect left the sect elders deeply astonished.

Previously, when disciples of the Qingshan Sect encountered them, they resembled mice confronting cats. Now, it seemed as if they had joined a different sect altogether.

"Bold! To dare speak to us in this manner, it seems the Qingshan Sect no longer needs to exist!" A muscular man shouted angrily, slamming his hand down on the table beside him, shattering it into pieces.

Chen Nan, however, stared back without a hint of fear.

He was wagering that these people dared not offend a Seven Grade Alchemist.

At this moment, Qing Yao stepped forward: "Everyone, please calm down. Since he claims to be a Seven Grade Alchemist, why not let him try?"

"If he dares to deceive us, there's time enough to deal with him later."

Upon hearing this.

The elders from other sects nodded in agreement, finding a way to ease the tension.

Qing Yao turned to Chen Nan and inquired, "Chen Nan, how about this? I have three sets of spiritual medicine for refining seven-grade elixirs, known as Spirit Cold Pill, and I'll provide the pill recipe as well."

"As long as you can refine one, we'll believe you."

Chen Nan coldly chuckled: "Haha, why must I earn your trust? I've said it, if you don't believe me, then leave the Qingshan Sect."

"Furthermore, I don't believe you're carrying the spiritual medicine for a seven-grade elixir without foresight. Is this an attempt to make me refine elixirs for free?"

At a glance, he discerned that this woman, Qing Yao, was no benevolent person. Clearly needing assistance, yet speaking as though Chen Nan owed her a favor.

Indeed, one capable of cultivating to this point is no fool.

Qing Yao's expression turned flustered; she hadn't expected Chen Nan to see through her plans so quickly, causing a slight flush at her earlobes.

"Ignorant fool!"

The burly man suddenly unleashed the pressure of a Golden Core Stage cultivator, descending like a mountain upon Chen Nan and the others.

The disciples of the Qingshan Sect couldn't withstand it, and were forced to their knees.

Only Chen Nan remained standing, even as his body subtly trembled and his bones emitted a sharp, crackling sound, he refused to bow his head.

His sharp gaze made others feel as though they were facing an abyss.

Fear flickered in the burly man's heart, followed quickly by anger. Was he truly intimidated by a mere Cultivator at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment?

As he was genuinely preparing to strike, Qing Yao intervened: "Elder Tie Shan, please hold your hand."

The burly man known as Tie Shan glanced at Qing Yao and finally reined in his pressure.

She was, after all, the renowned Medicine Fairy, so offering a little face was acceptable.

Following Chen Nan's recent actions, Qing Yao suddenly felt he hadn't lied.

There are precedents of prodigies becoming Seven Grade Alchemists at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, though rare and never within the Qingshan Sect.

Perhaps they had always been accustomed to looking down on the Qingshan Sect.

Her thoughts shifted, and Qing Yao altered her demeanor, bowing respectfully to Chen Nan: "Young Master Chen, please forgive us for being rude."

"To be honest, my father, Qing Xuan, was ambushed sixteen years ago and afflicted with Yinming Fire Poison, requiring the Spirit Cold Pill to alleviate it."

The sect elders showed no surprise, as if they had long been aware of this predicament.

"Yet the Seven Grade Alchemist Liu Ping covets me, insisting I serve him before he'll refine the elixir. Naturally, I refuse, though my father previously managed to suppress the poison with his cultivation. But a few days ago, he suddenly fell into a coma."

"His life is now in peril. I had considered seeking Liu Ping's help, bearing some humiliation as a last resort, but he even aims to seize Medicine Immortal Valley, giving me only a month to decide."

"That's why, upon hearing of a Seven Grade Alchemist within the Qingshan Sect, I ventured here. If young master aids me, I'm willing to offer anything!"

Upon her finally speaking candidly, Chen Nan nodded slightly, his tone softening somewhat: "Why not be honest from the start? What I abhor most are deceit and bullying!"

His words were pointed, leaving the sect elders with discomfited expressions.

"So, young master is willing to help refine the elixir?" Qing Yao exclaimed, her joy evident.

"Of course, but the cost of my services must be paid, according to market rates, converted into spiritual medicine." Chen Nan replied with a smile.

Qing Yao felt deeply touched; Chen Nan not only refrained from exploiting her plight but also made no excessive demands, proving far more upright than Liu Ping and his ilk.

"If young master can truly refine the Spirit Cold Pill, I'm willing to present you with Medicine Immortal Valley's treasured Seven-star Begonia Grass!"

Upon hearing the name Seven-star Begonia Grass, the sect elders' expressions shifted subtly.

Though it's merely a seven-grade spiritual medicine, its rarity makes it invaluable for not only top-tier seven-grade elixirs but also in refining six-grade elixirs.

"We can discuss that later; let's focus on helping you refine the elixir first."

Chen Nan waved it off, unperturbed by acquiring a single spiritual medicine.

"Ha, Medicine Fairy, be wary of being deceived." Tie Shan jeered from the sidelines, unable to suppress his anger.

The sect elders clearly shared his disbelief, subtly mocking Qing Yao with their glances.

In desperation, she had pinned her hopes on a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage, an outright joke.

Chen Nan offered no defense, relying instead on the truth; he directly produced the Pill Furnace, ready to refine pills before them.

With his fingers forming a seal, a Pill Fire elegantly descended into the Pill Furnace, raising the temperature in the guest hall abruptly.

Qing Yao hastily retrieved all three sets of spiritual medicine she had prepared; even refining one would mean her efforts weren't wasted.

It's known that seeking an alchemist requires preparing materials oneself, and often three sets due to the failure risk, plus paying a refining fee.

Hence, Alchemy is the most sought after career on the Nine Provinces Continent; gaining entry is truly challenging, but once mastered, one can earn a fortune. Help us out by reading on M|V|LEM5PYR.

The disciples of Qingshan Sect gathered at the door, casting defiant looks at the other sect elders.

Even though they hadn't personally seen Chen Nan perform Alchemy, they held absolute confidence in him.

They eagerly anticipated the shocked, awestruck expressions of these lofty elders.

"If you can't make it, don't force it. If all the materials are wasted, Fairy Qing Yao might come for your life." Tie Shan continued his bitter remarks.

Chen Nan filtered out his words, took two deep breaths, reached peak condition, reviewed the pill recipe, memorized crucial points, and commenced Alchemy.

He already thoroughly understood the characteristics of spiritual medicine, not just because he was a physician, but the Qingshan Pill Technique also documented countless spiritual medicines.

Thus, as Alchemy began, he appeared composed and capable, whether in technique or process, famously textbook-worthy Alchemy.
