The cauldron was forcibly stuffed with medicinal ingredients, and the flames below burned fiercely. Many alchemists involuntarily retreated more than ten steps.

As alchemists themselves, they knew that such reckless actions could easily lead to an explosion.

The medicinal ingredients for refining Qi Gathering Powder contained potent and volatile energies. If mixed forcefully, the inside of the cauldron would become extremely chaotic, and the consequences of an explosion would be unimaginable.

However, Ye Qianqian remained calm, her hands weaving seals she didn't even understand, as she secretly communicated with the system.

"System, turn the medicinal ingredients inside into a pile of Qi Gathering Powder."

"Ding"

Congratulations to the host for successfully exchanging ten thousand Qi Gathering Powder, consuming 100,000 Shock Points.

Seeing that the system had finished converting the medicinal ingredients in the cauldron, Ye Qianqian began chanting a spell.

"Black people carrying coffins 666"

After chanting the spell, she slapped the lid of the cauldron.

An overwhelming medicinal fragrance emanated from the cauldron, stunning tens of thousands of people in an instant.

An enormous amount of Qi Gathering Powder appeared inside the cauldron, spilling out and rolling onto the ground.

Such a large quantity of pills made all the Chu Yun soldiers' eyes turn red with envy. If Feng Ling hadn't maintained strict military discipline, the soldiers in the camp would have rushed to snatch them long ago.

The alchemists on the high platform were collectively dumbfounded. How could the pills be refined so quickly, and in such a large quantity, by randomly throwing things together? This... how was it possible!

"Ding"

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 5,000 Shock Points from Ma Fa.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 6,000 Shock Points from Zhou Jie.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 9,000 Shock Points from Chu Xiong.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 3,000,000 Shock Points from the Chu Yun soldiers.

Ye Qianqian instructed Na Lan Yan Ran to collect these pills and deliver them to the military camp's warehouse. Glancing back at Ma Fa's dazed expression, she chuckled softly.

"Little Ma Fa, do you still doubt this Seat now?"

"Senior, you just..."

Ma Fa's body trembled with excitement. In all his years, he had never witnessed such miraculous alchemy.

For alchemists on the Dou Qi Continent, refining even one pill was a good outcome, and they often faced the risk of the cauldron exploding and destroying the medicine.

Yet Ye Qianqian had forcefully thrown the medicinal ingredients into the cauldron and refined pills in mere minutes. It was simply miraculous.

"Do you want to learn? This Seat can teach you!" Seeing the alchemists staring blankly, Ye Qianqian straightened her small body, hands behind her back, and said with an air of seniority.

"We earnestly request Senior to impart your divine skills."

Hundreds of alchemists were moved. Upon hearing that Ye Qianqian was willing to teach them such advanced techniques, they immediately knelt and kowtowed collectively, revealing their profound obsession with alchemy.

The soldiers of the Chu Yun Empire erupted in excitement. Seeing these usually arrogant alchemists bowing and kowtowing to this young girl, they all discussed who this mysterious girl might be.

"Alright, you can all get up!"

Ye Qianqian waved her hand and began to bluff, "These are just some trivial, unrefined methods. Back in my prime, when I opened the cauldron, pills would fill an entire street, nearly burying an innocent passerby alive. Now that my skills have slightly declined, I can only refine this much. What a shame!"

"Ding"

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 3,000 Shock Points from Ma Fa.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 6,000 Shock Points from Zhang Hong.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 7,800 Shock Points from Du Ze.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1,000,000 Shock Points from the Chu Yun soldiers.

"Actually, the principle behind my alchemy just now is very simple."

Calling Ma Fa to his side, Ye Qianqian put on a wise, almost charlatan-like demeanor. She had him take out the medicinal ingredients and taught him hand-in-hand. The other alchemists were extremely envious. Master Ma Fa was truly blessed to receive direct instruction from this esteemed figure!

"Firstly, although heavenly treasures and earthly treasures contain infinite, volatile medicinal power, they also have commonalities. When you refine them, you must first grasp these commonalities to balance their various properties."

What Ye Qianqian said were records from the Supreme Pill Dao. Tai Shang Lao Jun was an incredibly formidable figure, a god of alchemy whose understanding of pill refinement was unparalleled. In an instant, the numerous alchemists benefited greatly.

"Alright, now comes the crucial moment. You must silently recite a spell to make the pills in the cauldron even more perfect."

Ma Fa nodded. After Ye Qianqian's guidance, his technique became increasingly proficient. After refining more than ten batches that failed, he finally found the knack. As the moment of pill extraction approached, he immediately shouted the spell.

"The Bull Warrior never takes off his mask."

"Crack"

After shouting the spell, Ma Fa immediately sent the cauldron lid flying. Inside, more than thirty pills appeared, making him, at his advanced age, as surprised and delighted as a child.

These pills were refined by his own hands. Although not as many as Ye Qianqian, the great deceiver, had produced, he felt a small sense of accomplishment.

Ye Qianqian was also inwardly astonished. The Supreme Pill Dao was truly extraordinary, its alchemy techniques completely surpassing those of the Dou Qi Continent.

As the president of the Alchemist Guild, Ma Fa found refining pills below grade three to be child's play. However, without the insights from the Supreme Pill Dao, it was unlikely he could have refined so many in a single furnace.

"Hiss!"

Everyone took a sharp breath. Ma Fa had completely mastered the technique of refining multiple pills in one furnace. If this technique were to be spread, it would likely cause quite a stir on the Dou Qi Continent!

"You can all try as well. While I'm still here, if there's anything you don't understand, I can guide you at any time," Ye Qianqian said.

"Thank you, senior." Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits soared. How could they miss such a golden opportunity? They eagerly took out their pill cauldrons and began refining.

In an instant, a hundred furnaces ignited, pill fires blazed everywhere. The hundred-plus master alchemists each displayed their unique skills, continuously adding medicinal ingredients to their furnaces according to the Supreme Pill Dao content they had just received. Ye Qianqian also constantly moved among the crowd, sometimes shaking her head and sighing at Zhang San, other times offering encouragement and praise to Li Si, continuously guiding everyone.

After a short while, everyone had grasped some of the techniques. They collectively recited the useless, bizarre incantations Ye Qianqian had taught them.

"Chang Wei didn't beat Laifu."

"Mr. Krabs won't hand over the recipe."

"Zu'an, I'm the strongest."

"Crow flies on a plane."

"Working is impossible."

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Countless cauldron lids were opened. The alchemists beamed with joy. Some refined ten pills at once, some fifteen, and others even twenty. While they weren't as proficient as Guild Master Ma Fa, they were all content.

And so, Ye Qianqian led a group of alchemists, traveling to various military camps in the Chu Yun Empire. In just two days, all pills below grade three filled the military supply depots.

To thank Ye Qianqian for her teachings, the alchemists praised her to everyone they met, describing how she possessed heaven-defying abilities and had created the divine skill of refining multiple pills in one furnace. They almost elevated her to legendary status, causing all the alchemists in the Jia Ma Empire to be secretly shocked and flock to the Imperial Capital to seek her guidance.

"System, I want to use Shock Points to exchange for Dou Qi realms."

On Misty Cloud Mountain, Ye Qianqian hurriedly opened the system space. She could now be considered a little rich woman, having gained so many Shock Points. Her efforts in deceiving people these past few days were not in vain.

"Ding!"

The host currently possesses eleven million Shock Points. Would you like to exchange all of them for realms?

"No, leave one million," Ye Qianqian thought, deciding it was best to keep some balance.

"Exchange them," she commanded.

Instantly, Ye Qianqian felt a surge of power throughout her body. An extremely vast strength coursed through her meridians, akin to a marrow cleansing and bone transformation. Impurities were expelled from her body, continuously strengthening her physique, and her Dou Qi also rose steadily.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for advancing to One-star Great Dou Master!"

"Congratulations to the host for advancing to One-star Dou Spirit!"

"Congratulations to the host for advancing to One-star Dou King!"

"Congratulations to the host for advancing to One-star Dou Emperor!"

"Congratulations to the host for advancing to One-star Dou Ancestor!"

Her realm stopped after reaching Dou Ancestor.

The ten million Shock Points were used up like this. It seemed that if she wanted to advance like this again in the future, the consumption of Shock Points would be even greater.

Sensing the increase in her Dou Qi, she excitedly clenched her fist. Fierce Dou Qi was suddenly released from her body, causing turbulent air currents and fierce winds to sweep through the entire room.

"Is this the power of a Dou Ancestor?"

Ye Qianqian excitedly rolled on the bed. Now, when she deceived people, she wouldn't have to live in fear.

"Ding!"

"Due to the host's first purchase of ten million Shock Points in the mall, the system rewards: One Divine Weapon Experience Card."

"Divine Weapon Experience Card?" Curious, she took a look, and this person immediately came up with another grand plan to deceive people!

This time, she intended to go all out and deceive both the Mu Lan Empire and the Yan Luo Empire into submission, hehehe
