Asura Mad Emperor

Qinchuan\'s gaze turned to the Ninth Elder, calling out to him.

The Ninth Elder, feeling uneasy at Qinchuan\'s call, stammered, "Patriarch... What are your orders?"

Qinchuan looked at the Ninth Elder and said indifferently, "Earlier when I was refining pills, I heard you blustering and stamping your feet at my side, claiming that I made countless mistakes and didn\'t even understand the principles of medicine, right?"

"Furthermore, when I was repairing Qin Shan\'s dantian just now, you tried to stop me multiple times, even saying I was carelessly performing acupuncture, disregarding his life?"

The Ninth Elder\'s face flushed with shame and embarrassment upon hearing this.

When Qinchuan was refining pills earlier, the Ninth Elder had been convinced that Qinchuan, being so young, could not possibly understand alchemy. Upon seeing that Qinchuan\'s technique was completely different from those of the alchemists he was familiar with, he immediately judged that Qinchuan had no idea about alchemy and that his techniques were full of errors.

Even the most basic understanding of the medicinal properties and effects eluded him.

Yet Qinchuan soon after produced a batch of Spirit Level elixirs that surpassed Mortal Pills.

Likewise, when Qinchuan was treating Qin Shan with acupuncture, his reaction was the most vehement, even rebuking Qinchuan for trying to cover up his own boasting at the expense of Qin Shan\'s life, administering needles haphazardly.

And yet in an instant, Qin Shan\'s dantian was fully restored.

Now, hearing Qinchuan\'s stern questioning, the Ninth Elder felt utterly ashamed, quickly kneeling down to apologize, "It is all due to my ignorance and shallow vision. I failed to recognize the breadth of the patriarch\'s divine skills and real knowledge, speculating wildly about you, patriarch. I am at fault!"

Qinchuan smiled upon hearing this, looked at the Ninth Elder kneeling before him, and helped him up, saying, "You are able to recognize your own ignorance and shallowness, which means you are not beyond hope."

"In treating Qin Shan\'s dantian, your concern was for his safety, and your agitation is understandable. I didn\'t mean to blame you."

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Elder breathed a sigh of relief, was helped up by Qinchuan, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

But then Qinchuan\'s tone shifted, "However, when I was refining pills earlier, you said my steps were wrong, my technique was messy, and I even lacked understanding of the medicinal properties..."

"Thump!"

Hearing the change in Qinchuan\'s tone, the Ninth Elder\'s legs softened again, and with a "thump," he knelt down once more, thinking that Qinchuan was after all going to settle scores with him.

"Ninth Elder, why did you kneel again? What are you doing? I had no intention of blaming you."

"I brought up this matter only to resolve the confusion you had earlier and to offer guidance."

"You do have some understanding of alchemy, and just now, I noticed that despite your age, you possess some natural talent for it. If you wish to pursue this path, as the head of the family, I can offer you some guidance."

Seeing the Ninth Elder kneeling again, Qinchuan couldn\'t help but be speechless, subsequently speaking out.

"Ah? So that\'s how it is..."

Hearing Qinchuan\'s words, the Ninth Elder was completely relieved, and then, blushing, he stood up.

Then, hearing Qinchuan say he was willing to guide him and teach him the way of alchemy, he became excited, quickly saying, "I am willing to pursue the path of alchemy and refine elixirs for the clan!"

Qinchuan nodded and smiled upon hearing this, "Good, I will first explain the steps I used in my pill refining, along with the techniques, control of fire, and the question you had about the antagonistic properties of the medicinal ingredients I used together..."

As he spoke, Qinchuan explained the details and subtleties of his methods.

He didn\'t lower his voice deliberately, allowing every member of the Qin Family present to hear, letting them learn as much as they were able to.

Afterward, Qinchuan gave the Ninth Elder some pointers on alchemy, imparting his insights and even some advanced techniques.

Qinchuan\'s proficiency in teaching was absolutely one of the best in the world.

The disciples and followers he had taken on in years past have all become renowned across the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, with some even reaching the level of Divine Emperors.

The many forces he had established were now spread throughout the Myriad Heavens and Worlds.

This demonstrated his exceptional ability to teach.

After his explanations, the Ninth Elder and everyone present felt as if they had been enlightened, finding each word from Qinchuan to be like pearls strung together, akin to the profound sounds of the Dao, reverberating in their minds.

The courtyard became quiet.

Everyone found themselves immersed in the many mysteries of the Alchemy Dao that Qinchuan had delineated, and even those without the talent for alchemy couldn\'t help but concentrate deeply and intently feel.

A good while passed, almost half the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

Suddenly, the courtyard erupted with spiritual presences, and the sound of whistling wind filled the air.

The Third Elder, who had been sitting cross-legged attempting to break through to the Fourth Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm, suddenly opened his eyes with a radiant gleam, as storms of spiritual essence swirled towards him and ultimately settled into his Dantian.

"Condensed Truth Realm Fourth Layer, I\'ve finally broken through to the Fourth Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm, hahaha..."

The Third Elder couldn\'t contain his joy and roared with laughter.

His breakthrough stirred everyone in the courtyard.

Seeing the Third Elder truly reach the Fourth Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm, they were all instantly overjoyed.

The Third Elder could now be considered the highest in cultivation level and the strongest among the Qin Family elders.

With his breakthrough to the Fourth Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm, his strength vastly surpassed his previous self, which meant that in the upcoming duel with the Zhao Family two months later, their chance of victory had just increased a bit.

Although the hope might still be faint...

"Old Third, you really broke through to the Fourth Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm, hahaha, good, good, this is wonderful!"

"Two months from now, in the wagered battle between our Qin Family and the Zhao Family, it will all depend on you in the clash between the elders!"

The other Qin Family elders were similarly filled with surprise and joy.

"Congratulations to the Third Elder for advancing to the Fourth Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm!"

The juniors of the Qin Family also expressed their surprise and congratulations to the Third Elder in unison.

"It\'s all thanks to the head of the family, all thanks to the head of the family indeed!"

"If it weren\'t for the head\'s unfathomable methods, for crafting the Bright Sun Revival Elixir to help purge the hidden illness within me and replenishing my vital energy, not to mention ascending to the Fourth Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm, I wouldn\'t have even been able to live much longer!"

In the face of the congratulations from the other elders and the Qin Family juniors, the Third Elder took a deep breath and spoke.

He was well aware of whom to accredit for all of this.

He stepped forward from among the other elders, approached Qinchuan, gave a deep bow, and said, "The head of the family\'s methods are unfathomable; he is the mainstay of our Qin Family\'s resurgence. I was ignorant of the head\'s destiny and abilities, and I had many misunderstandings about you. I sincerely apologize to the head of the family here!"

"From now on, I, Qin San, will fully support the head, swear to protect him to the death, and only stop upon death!"

Qinchuan, smiling, shook his head and reached out to help the Third Elder up, saying, "Third Elder, you are too kind. You are an elder of our Qin Family, and my help in curing your hidden illness is nothing to speak of."

The other Qin Family elders, as well as the juniors, were deeply moved by this sight.

In the past, they had only seen Qinchuan\'s awe-inspiring side, yet they had not expected the family head to also possess such deep affection and loyalty.

At this moment, their gazes toward Qinchuan held not only shock towards his mastery of the Alchemy Dao and his medical skills but also profound reverence and conviction!

Some elders couldn\'t help being so moved that they shed emotional tears: "With a family head like this, why would the Qin Family have any concern about prospering!"
