Chapter 1 Quickly
　　Soon, Jiang Xuan was brought to a Pill Hall. This was Qing Fan Xianzi’s (Fairy Qing Fan) exclusive alchemy place, and Qing Fan Xianzi was currently refining pills.

　　In front of her was an indescribable pill furnace. Even the Chunyang (Pure Yang) level pill furnace she had given him was far inferior. It was estimated to be a Xiantian Lingbao (Acquired Treasure), and of a high level.

　　In addition to that, outside the pill furnace, there were nine different flames, some as hot as the scorching sun, some as cold as the Nine Netherworlds, and some as strange as demons...

　　Each one emitted a Qi (energy) that was more terrifying than the wisp of immortal fire he had obtained.

　　"Good heavens, this is the real 'Yan Emperor,' isn't it? Xiao Yan, you should change your name..."

　　Jiang Xuan complained inwardly. This Shizun (master) of his was truly rich, nine kinds of Chunyang (Pure Yang) level immortal fire, what kind of value was that? He didn’t know how to describe it.

　　No wonder she was so indifferent when she gave him the Chunyang (Pure Yang) level pill furnace before; it turned out she really didn't care at all.

　　Jiang Xuan stood aside and watched carefully. Qing Fan Xianzi (Fairy Qing Fan) was a great expert in the Dao (way) of pills. Although watching her refine pills brought more confusion and incomprehension, he still benefited a lot.

　　He didn't know how long had passed, but the nine kinds of immortal fire dissipated, and the Xiantian (Acquired) pill furnace slowly opened. Nine pills containing different Dao (way) rhymes hung in the air, the precious light of the Great Dao (Great Way) was boundless, and even just smelling the fragrance of the pills made one feel as if they were about to ascend to immortality.

　　"Collect."

　　Qing Fan Xianzi (Fairy Qing Fan) said softly, and a treasure bottle appeared in her hand, with the Qi (energy) of immortality flowing around it. Jiang Xuan exclaimed inwardly, even the bottle for holding the pills was immortal-grade, she really lived up to being the sugar mommy he had set his sights on!

　　After Qing Fan Xianzi (Fairy Qing Fan) put away the pills, she looked at Jiang Xuan: "Are you arranged in the Lieshan (Fiery Mountain) Courtyard now?"

　　"Yes," Jiang Xuan replied respectfully.

　　"Mm," Qing Fan Xianzi (Fairy Qing Fan) nodded, "For the next ten years, you will live in the Lieshan (Fiery Mountain) Courtyard. You can obtain cultivation methods and secret techniques in the Xianmo (Immortal Devil) Palace. As for the Dao (way) of pills, you only need to come to the Baicao (Hundred Herbs) Hall to study for a month each year."

　　"Yes," Jiang Xuan said. As expected, she only cared about his alchemy, and didn't care about his cultivation at all.

　　Fortunately, there was a mandatory requirement to come and study for a month each year, otherwise he would really think that she was planning to let him fend for himself.

　　"In that case, I still can't neglect the Dao (way) of pills."

　　Jiang Xuan wasn't too worried. There was Dou Po (Battle Through the Heavens) Jiang Xuan in the alchemy field. The other party didn't care about improving his cultivation, as long as he focused on studying the Dao (way) of medicine. Although the pills in that world were different from those in this world, Dou Po (Battle Through the Heavens) Jiang Xuan's understanding of the *Baicao Danjing* (Hundred Herbs Pill Scripture) couldn't be fake.

　　Having that understanding was enough for Jiang Xuan.

　　"The two kinds of forbidden pills, Jinfan (Law Prohibition) and Jinshen (Spirit Prohibition), that you created earlier are very interesting. Tell me, do you have any ideas for improvement?"

　　To a great expert in the Dao (way) of pills like Qing Fan Xianzi (Fairy Qing Fan), whether it was the pill used on Jiang Miao or the pill used on Jiang Lian, they were both ordinary. She would not accept Jiang Xuan as a disciple because of such pills.

　　What really made her want to accept Jiang Xuan as a disciple were the two kinds of pills, Jinshen (Spirit Prohibition) and Jinfan (Law Prohibition).

　　Of course, with her vision and knowledge, she had already deduced the complete pill formula the moment Jiang Xuan used it, and it might even be more profound and complete than what Jiang Xuan had created.

　　But she valued Jiang Xuan's ideas more, curious about how Jiang Xuan would improve these two kinds of pills in the future to make them more effective.

　　"Jinfan (Law Prohibition) and Jinshen (Spirit Prohibition)?"

　　Jiang Xuan vaguely guessed that Qing Fan Xianzi (Fairy Qing Fan) had accepted him as a disciple because of these two kinds of pills.

　　After thinking carefully for a moment, he said, "The two kinds of pills, Jinfan (Law Prohibition) and Jinshen (Spirit Prohibition), have great potential, but they also have great limitations. As the realm increases, there will be more and more strong people who have mastered the Dao (way). Therefore, if this disciple were to improve them, it should start from this aspect."

　　Qing Fan Xianzi (Fairy Qing Fan) nodded. That was what she thought too. She even thought further. If she were to improve it, she would even want to improve this kind of pill to the point where even Tianxian (Celestial Immortals) and Chunyang (Pure Yang) could not avoid it.

　　Of course, if you want to improve to that level, it is not as simple as how to solve the power of the Dao (way). When you reach the level of Tianxian (Celestial Immortals) and Chunyang (Pure Yang), you have endless mysteries. If you want to make them all poisoned and unable to resist, there will be countless difficulties.

　　Of course, if Jiang Xuan knew what she was thinking, he would definitely exclaim, "Damn it, isn't this the Shennong (Divine Farmer) medicine during the boundary war? Is it really from me?"

　　"Are there any other ideas?" Qing Fan Xianzi (Fairy Qing Fan) asked again.

　　Jiang Xuan was silent for a moment, as if organizing his words, and then said again, "This disciple doesn't have too many ideas for the two kinds of pills, Jinfan (Law Prohibition) and Jinshen (Spirit Prohibition). The growth path of these two kinds of pills is single. Just continue to improve along this direction."

　　"This disciple does have two other kinds of pills that I want to create, but unfortunately, I haven't had any success so far," Jiang Xuan said with a wry smile.

　　"Oh? Tell me about them."

　　Qing Fan Xianzi (Fairy Qing Fan) asked. Although the two kinds of pills, Jinfan (Law Prohibition) and Jinshen (Spirit Prohibition), are only Earth-grade, since Jiang Xuan can create them, it shows that he has a high level of attainment in alchemy. At the very least, refining Heaven-grade pills should not be difficult.

　　But he already had ideas, but no results, which made her quite interested.

　　"Yes."

　　Jiang Xuan replied. He was worried that he couldn't find anyone to help him develop these two kinds of pills. Now, that was great. He didn't believe that Qing Fan Xianzi (Fairy Qing Fan) wouldn't be interested.

　　As for fame and wealth, he didn't care about them at all. Anyway, he was Qing Fan Xianzi’s (Fairy Qing Fan) disciple. If he really succeeded, the other party would definitely teach him.

　　So, sorry Shizun (master), I'll leave the work of developing the pills to you!

　　Jiang Xuan felt no burden in his heart and began to describe his thoughts: "After creating the two kinds of pills, Jinfan (Law Prohibition) and Jinshen (Spirit Prohibition), this disciple once wanted to create a Jindao (Dao Prohibition) pill, that is, after taking it, cultivators cannot use the power of the Dao (way)..."

　　"Jindao (Dao Prohibition)?"

　　Qing Fan Xianzi's (Fairy Qing Fan) eyes lit up, and her mind quickly deduced, but even she felt it was very difficult. This kind of pill has the possibility of existing, but it is too difficult to refine.

　　Jindao (Dao Prohibition), this is equivalent to isolating the power of the myriad Daos (Ways) of heaven and earth. Even the most basic Xiaodao (small ways) are derived from the Heavenly Dao (Way of Heaven) and are part of the Three Realms. How difficult is it to isolate them?

　　Those who can isolate the myriad Daos (Ways) of heaven and earth are only the Daozu (Dao Ancestors) who have mastered the Heavenly Dao (Way of Heaven), but Jiang Xuan actually wants to give this kind of power to a pill. I have to say, this idea is very bold.

　　But she also cannot deny that this kind of pill has feasibility.

　　"What about the other one?"

　　Qing Fan Xianzi (Fairy Qing Fan) asked. She is now more and more curious about Jiang Xuan's thoughts, especially thinking about his actions in the competition before, she felt that his understanding of pills was a bit strange.

　　"As for the second one, this disciple calls it the Tianxian (Celestial Immortal) Pill."

　　In the Three Realms, if you want to become a Tianxian (Celestial Immortal), one is to master at least one Xiaodao (small way), and the other is to survive the four tribulations of wind, fire, thunder, and heart demon. Heavenly tribulation cannot be interfered with, but the Dao (way) may not be the case.

　　"This disciple thought, if we can refine a pill that can help practitioners deduce a complete Dao (way) after taking it, plus other medicinal effects, even if it cannot create a real Tianxian (Celestial Immortal), it can reach the threshold of Tianxian (Celestial Immortal)."

　　Of course, pills below the immortal grade cannot do it. Only pills above the immortal grade, immortal pills have spirituality, can they possibly help practitioners deduce the Dao (way).

　　In fact, this idea comes from the Emperor Pill in the world of *Dou Po (Battle Through the Heavens)*, but the complete idea comes from the Stealing Life and Death Pill in the endless chaos. That kind of pill can make a World God become a Life and Death Daojun (Dao Lord) in one step. The fundamental effect is to guide the World God to deduce his own Dao (way) to perfection.

　　Since beings like World Gods can become Life and Death Daojun (Dao Lord) by similar means, why can't they use similar means to help practitioners reach the threshold of Tianxian (Celestial Immortal)?
