Scenes of powerful figures going crazy with excitement were constantly appearing in the Alchemy Pavilion and the Weapon Forging Workshop.

The main reason is that this naturally occurring strange fire is extremely rare. With this treasure in hand, even if one only refines things casually, the quality of the pills and magical artifacts will not be too low.

Moreover, from the perspective of the Profound Flame Pill Ancestor, although the pill had been produced for several months—sorry, there were just too many people queuing up for appraisal in the alchemy room; without buying a scalper's ticket, it would take several months to get a turn—the blazing fire on it still hadn't dissipated.

There was almost no loss!

The degree to which the fire element is retained directly represents the quality of the fire used in the refining process.

Fire born from earth fire will dissipate in less than a moment; ordinary strange fire is better, it can last for a few days or even a month; the best quality strange fire can last for several years.

What are ordinary strange flames? Azure Spirit Flame, Purple Nether Flame, Crimson Gold Flame... Strange flames named after their colors, without any historical background or origin.

High-quality exotic fires, such as lava fire, lightning fire, and earth core fire, at least have an origin and a provenance.

What is a truly top-grade exotic fire?

—The inner fire of extraterrestrial demons, the karmic fire of the hellish red lotus, the soul fire of fallen gods, and...

The fire that was shot to death by the great sorcerer Hou Yi with nine arrows, the legendary three-legged golden crow that transformed into the sun.

Chi Yan Dan Zu wondered if he had lost his mind, otherwise how could he have guessed that the fire energy left on this pill came from the Golden Crow Fire?

Such a thing might not even exist in the Immortal Realm, so how could it possibly exist in the Central Continent?

However, he had to admit that the residual fire energy on the elixir still faintly bore the pattern of a three-legged firebird.

And what else could that fiery, masculine energy be but the three-legged golden crow that transforms into the sun?

Regardless, Xuan Yan Dan Zu was determined to bring the person under his wing.

He has the confidence to back it up.

However……

Xuan Yan Dan Zu immediately gave instructions to send a message to that person as soon as possible, inviting her to come to Xuan Yan Dan Zu's cave in the Alchemy Pavilion for a chat.

Everyone thought that if that person knew about Xuan Yan Dan Zu's affirmation of her, she would definitely rush over excitedly at the first moment and want to become Xuan Yan Dan Zu's disciple.

Even Xuan Yan Dan Zu thought so, so he specially bathed, burned incense, changed into new clothes, dyed his hair black with medicinal herbs, combed it meticulously, and had his servants clean his cave over and over again, wiping the floor until it was smooth enough to see.

Judging from the information left behind by the appraiser, she seemed to be a young female cultivator. Xuan Yan Dan Zu even specially sent someone to buy jewelry, jewels, snacks and treats, which were openly displayed on the table.

He even allocated public funds for his most handsome eldest apprentice to take and tidy himself up, making sure to live up to his nickname "the ugly one in the alchemy pavilion".

...It was all to successfully trick the female cultivator into staying!

Even her eldest apprentice can be given to her!

The eldest disciple was heartbroken. He prayed to Heaven countless times, hoping that the female cultivator would have a Daoist partner, or at least a close male friend who would become her Daoist partner.

Of course, it would be best if you had a fellow disciple!

Don't you see, most female cultivators in the cultivation world are like family, always keeping their talents within the family. They're reserved by their senior brothers before they even graduate. This has led to naive junior sisters who have just entered the sect receiving heartfelt advice from their experienced senior sisters: "Beware of fire, theft, and senior brothers!"

Whether the eldest disciple's prayers worked or not is unknown, but Xuan Yan Dan Zu cried.

They waited and waited, but the paper cranes never got sent out—the person was in seclusion, and no one knew when they would emerge and see the message!

Xuan Yan Dan Zu ate all the snacks with a heavy heart, and spent the whole day in his alchemy room, using his busyness to alleviate the pain in his heart.

The eldest brother was extremely grateful for this.

I really just want to focus on my studies and be a single person; I don't want to find a partner!
