At this moment, Zhou Jiutian's expression was solemn.

But no one knew that his heart was already in turmoil.

It must be known.

A few years ago, he inadvertently obtained the formula for the 'Body Tempering Dragon Vein Pill' and has been diligently studying it. But for some reason, every time at a critical moment, the furnace explodes. This problem, he couldn't figure it out despite deep thought.

Originally, today would be like any other day, continuing to explode the furnace. But who would have thought, just before the furnace exploded, someone suddenly shouted loudly.

That's why he rushed over to see what was going on.

However.

What surprised him was that the person was so young, and even more surprisingly, he directly identified the pill he was refining. After confirming several times that the person was indeed correct, he chose to bow his head and humbly ask for guidance!

Of course.

If this young person couldn't provide an answer, he naturally had means to make him wish he were dead!

"The child can be taught!"

Ye Qingchen sat steadily, bearing the gaze from all directions.

He also took in Zhou Jiutian's seemingly respectful but with hidden murderous intent expression, and said with a faint smile:

"As an alchemist, don't you know the principle that alchemy requires mutual support between ruler and ministers? In this pill, Jiao Dragon Bone is the main ingredient, yet you added Celestial Tiger Blood to it."

"Indeed, as they say, dragons and tigers cannot coexist without conflict. Alchemy follows a similar logic; when the medicinal properties clash and neither can overpower the other, the furnace will explode even if you refine it a hundred more times!"

"He actually dares to give advice?"

Everyone looked at Ye Qingchen with incredulous eyes.

At this moment.

If one still didn't understand what was happening, they'd truly be a fool. But more people were looking at Zhou Jiutian, wanting to see if this young person was really skilled or merely boasting!

If this young person intended to attract Zhou Jiutian's attention by this method, once Zhou Jiutian realized, he would be doomed!

"So that's it!"

Zhou Jiutian exclaimed, eyes showing disbelief, before realizing and couldn't help but gesticulate wildly.

"Exactly!"

"Why didn't I think of such a simple principle? This is the Body Tempering Dragon Vein Pill, I only focused on increasing the medicinal properties and potency. But I neglected the mutual support between ruler and ministers!"

"Incompatible medicinal properties are like water and fire clashing, inevitably leading to an exploded furnace at a critical moment!"

Zhou Jiutian gesticulated wildly, and his gaze towards Ye Qingchen suddenly became a bit respectful.

He hadn't expected that the problem he studied for years could be so effortlessly solved by the other party.

"May I ask, sir, how should the issue of medicinal compatibility be resolved?" Zhou Jiutian asked with fervent eyes, almost as if a student meeting a teacher, incredibly respectful, causing everyone around to be dumbfounded.

"You began on a dead-end road! There are hundreds, if not thousands, of ways to improve medicinal properties, yet you chose the worst one. I wonder how someone of your level can be the Grand Hall Master of the Medicine God Hall!"

Ye Qingchen slowly shook his head.

Seemingly quite disdainful.

Zhou Jiutian listened, face flushed red, feeling indignant.

One must know.

He is the Grand Hall Master of the Medicine God Hall, holding a high status, yet now being judged by a young man.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jiutian said loudly:

"Sir! Improving the pill formula and enhancing medicinal properties is incredibly difficult. Some alchemists spend their whole lives unable to achieve it. Yet now, in your words, it's as simple as eating and drinking?"

"You are still unconvinced?"

Ye Qingchen glanced at him and said with a faint smile: "Do you know what Dragon and Phoenix in synergy means? Use the blood of the Red Flame Bird instead of Celestial Tiger Blood, and you can easily increase potency by thirty percent!"

"What?"

Zhou Jiutian was stunned.

He originally thought Ye Qingchen would argue and evade, but unexpectedly, he answered casually.

Yet before Zhou Jiutian could speak, Ye Qingchen continued:

"You are using Jiao Dragon Bone, which should be Furious Flame Flood Dragon. You can use Flowing Fire Copper as support to create a phenomenon of wind, fire, mountain, and forest, allowing its flood dragon form to transform, thus increasing potency by seventy percent!"

"If you use Deep Sea Hidden Flood Dragon, you can use Celestial Cold Water as support to create a phenomena of vast ocean, allowing its dragon form to return to the sea, also increasing potency by seventy percent!"

"Of course, you can also use Rock Dragon Flood Dragon, and then pair it with Primordial Stone..."

Ye Qingchen explained in depth, his words accessible and clear. Not only the alchemist, but even the people present understood the meaning.

And Zhou Jiutian was utterly shocked.

He never thought, the pill formula he studied for years without improvement, Ye Qingchen could solve it effortlessly.

This made his feeling of resentment vanish completely. In front of this young man, he felt as if he was back several hundred years ago, still an alchemy apprentice, listening to his master's explanations of mysterious and complex pill formulas.

Xu Chunqiu was completely stunned. He had thought Ye Qingchen might be a young master from some major family, possibly familiar with some alchemy techniques. But he never imagined, the other party was qualified to advise Zhou Jiutian!

This moment even surprised Su Moran, whose eyes looked at Ye Qingchen with a complicated expression.

Until the very end.

Zhou Jiutian deeply bowed:

"Sir is truly a genius in the Alchemy Dao, listening to your word today surpasses decades of my research. May I invite you to the rear hall for tea, and teach me more, sir!"

Zhou Jiutian sighed immensely.

Ye Qingchen's words practically opened a new path in his alchemy journey.

"I need some Spirit Medicine!" Ye Qingchen flicked his finger, and a list flew in front of Zhou Jiutian, "If you can collect these Spirit Medicines for me, I might consider it!"

"Whatever you need, sir, we will do our utmost!" After glancing at the list, Zhou Jiutian said heartily, "Sir, please!"

Ye Qingchen nodded slightly, took Su Moran, and under everyone's incredulous gaze, followed Zhou Jiutian into the inner hall.

As soon as Ye Qingchen left, the entire Medicine God Hall erupted.

"Oh my, what did I just witness? The Grand Hall Master actually seeking guidance from a young man?"

"I thought he was some arrogant young lad with no understanding of the world, but unexpectedly he has some skill, didn't see this coming at all!"

"Right, could it be that he's the offspring of some major race?"

Whether steward or guests of the Medicine God Hall, everyone was discussing this scene with curiosity.

The scene was too rare; earlier everyone thought this young man was courting death, but in an instant, he was respectfully invited into the inner hall by Zhou Jiutian. If not seen with their own eyes, they wouldn't believe it!

And Xu Chunqiu was even more shaken by this scene.

Looking at Ye Qingchen entering the inner hall, he wished he could slap himself twice; this young man was truly a towering support! Just because of prior hesitation, it slipped away completely!
