Although she believed in Qin Chen's alchemy skills, You Qianxue still felt a bit worried, because Dongguang City was different from the other cities in the Eastern Heaven Realm. Here, there were too many masters of alchemy and merchant associations, as well as many merchants from the Southern Heaven Realm, Northern Heaven Realm, and Western Heaven Realm, transporting various materials from different heavens. Behind each merchant association, there was a powerful force supporting them.
These powerful forces were almost at the same level as the Yao Mie Mansion, and even behind forces like the City Lord's Mansion, there were the top forces from the heavens supporting them. It was truly very difficult for Qin Chen to carve out a place for himself here.
After hearing You Qianxue’s concerns, Qin Chen smiled.
Because Qianxue was thinking too much. The reason Qin Chen established this alchemy shop was not to compete with those merchant associations and forces, but simply to develop the strength of the Chen Di Pavilion.
Everything he did was just to enhance the power of the Chen Di Pavilion, to strengthen the forces of the Guanghai Palace Master and others, so that everyone could grow stronger imperceptibly, ultimately forming a powerful force.
People like Fire Old were actually very capable. If he took them as guards, he would indeed have many experts protecting him, but that would actually be underutilizing their talents. Such individuals should be sent out to experience the outside world and truly exert their roles.
In Qin Chen's vision, once he established his influence in Dongguang City, he would continuously supply resources to the Chen Di Pavilion, to Wen Han Tian, and even establish good cooperation with many merchant associations and forces present.
In this world, simply seizing the cake would not work; it would only offend more and more people. Only by making the cake bigger could he gain everyone's support.
The alchemy shop that Qin Chen established was not meant to compete with other merchant associations, but to cooperate.
In the following days, Qin Chen remained in the QianKun ZaoHua Jade Dish, where under the frantic acceleration of the power of time and the source of time, Qin Chen continuously absorbed the alchemical knowledge passed down by the Fire Venerable, becoming completely engrossed.
In addition, Fire Old, the Ghost Array Saint Master, and the two mid-stage peak Saint Masters from Liuhuo Fortress were repairing their injuries and altering their appearances and auras under the time acceleration.
Especially Fire Old and the Ghost Array Saint Master, they were too well-known in Dongguang City. If they were recognized by people from Liuhuo Fortress, it would be troublesome. They had to hide their identities.
The aura of a powerful person is generally constant, making it very difficult to conceal. However, influenced by the source of the Ten Thousand Realms Demon Tree, the two rapidly changed their auras, while their appearances could be altered through special disguise techniques.
Several days later, Qin Chen had already mastered the many alchemical knowledge imparted by the Fire Venerable, fully integrating it.
Moreover, the injuries of Fire Old, the Ghost Array Saint Master, and the others had also mostly healed, and their auras became completely different, increasingly deep and restrained.
Under the influence of the source of the Ten Thousand Realms Demon Tree, their temperaments became exceedingly profound, like a bottomless deep pool.
Next, it was time for the alchemy shop to open.
"Xing Tianya, is everything ready?"
Qin Chen stepped out from the QianKun ZaoHua Jade Dish and asked Xing Tianya.
"Reporting to Young Master, everything is ready. These past few days, I have renovated the shop, and the sign you need has also been prepared."
Xing Tianya took out a gilded sign with four large characters engraved on it: "Tianwu Danpu!"
This was the name Qin Chen thought of. Although it was a bit cliché, anyone soaring from Tianwu Continent would probably be attracted by this name.
