These few people who know that they have boasted about the Prince's alchemy room outside will be punished.

Zhang Ran handles these matters in order to prioritize the family's interests and prevent them from speaking recklessly outside. Otherwise, there is a high risk of spies and traitors within the family, and there will be no secrets in the future.

Susu brought these people to the Hall of Punishment in the inner city.

Inside the hall, there were cries of misery, sending shivers down the spines of other junior disciples.

"Damn, Zhang Xuanbiao, I remember him. He loves to drink. I told him not to drink and talk nonsense. Look, now he's in trouble. He dares to gossip about the Prince's private matters. Sigh, he really doesn't know any better."

"He will definitely be heavily punished this time. But people like him should be fewer in the family in the future, or else they might bring disaster to the clan one day."

There have been numerous incidents where some second-generation disciples caused trouble and offended powerful figures, resulting in their demise with a single blow. That's why Zhang Ran is also worried about such incidents happening. Light punishment is not enough.

Susu's punishment is also simple, but it leaves a lasting impression on people.

In the punishment room, there are many formations arranged by Zhang Ran, including a small fourth-order rotating wheel formation.

This formation allows people to experience endless cycles, subjecting them to torment in a deeply regretful matter.

One second in the formation is equivalent to hundreds of years, which is extremely terrifying.

This punishment method is being used for the first time. After these people came out, they were in a daze for half a month before returning to normal.

After going out, some former lackeys called Zhang Xuanbiao "Brother Biao" with a cold expression, indicating that they should stay away from him.

This kind of wine and meat friend is not a good person.

It's better to focus on cultivation and improve oneself.

When people saw the changes in these few individuals, they were all extremely surprised.

"What kind of magic does this Hall of Punishment have? These people have all changed so much."

When someone asked them what kind of punishment they had received, these few people couldn't help but shudder and their heads went blank. "Don't ask, don't make me remember. I almost couldn't recover."

Zhang Xuanbiao only remembered going through the cycle more than a hundred times, experiencing the same thing each time, causing his Zhang family to suffer a catastrophic disaster, watching his children die tragically, and the family to fall apart.

He doesn't want to recall that extreme pain anymore.

Although it doesn't sound terrifying to others, judging from their reactions, it is definitely not simple.

Days passed by.

In the Great Qian Imperial City, in a magnificent mansion, this is the residence of Master Yang, the imperial alchemist of the Great Qian Empire.

These days, he has been relatively idle because he has fewer orders.

"What's been happening recently? Why haven't those concubines in the palace, as well as many noble palace members, the Sixth Prince, and the Third Prince come to me for medicine?"

Master Yang, who is focused on refining high-quality pills, is oblivious to the outside world and naturally unaware of the earth-shattering changes that have occurred. Someone has taken his place.

"Master Yang, you are not aware of this. A few months ago, the Ninth Prince somehow managed to attract the attention of those princesses. It is said that the Ninth Prince can casually refine high-quality pills, and he has even produced several high-quality fifth-order pills."

A subordinate respectfully reported, and he secretly inquired, it seems not fake.

There are rumors that Emperor Qian is collecting information on the ingredients for the Three Transcendent Spirit Pills, but Emperor Qian has not come to see Master Yang.

And Master Yang is not confident in producing the pills.

"Oh? There's such a thing."

Master Yang said, "Tell me all the details."

Master Yang sat by the lake, holding a cup of spiritual tea in one hand, and there were several beautiful girls in front of him, dressed elegantly, dancing gracefully.

At the same time, behind Master Yang, there was a beautiful woman with skin as smooth as jade, gently patting his head.

Life was very enjoyable.

As the subordinate explained the details of the incident.

Master Yang sneered, "What a bunch of arrogant people challenging my reputation. They just rely on their good looks to seduce some princesses and use them for publicity. I'm afraid their skills are all talk. A newly promoted fifth-level alchemist, do they even know what a fifth-level quality pill is?"

Master Yang's expression was mocking, clearly not believing in the abilities of the Ninth Prince. He immediately said, "Spread the word, the Ninth Prince has no real evidence. If you want to refine quality pills, come to me, Master Yang. These days, I'm in a good mood. If I produce a quality pill, the price will be half off as before."

The subordinate hesitated and said, "But, Master Yang, the Ninth Prince said that with five sets of alchemy materials, he can produce a quality pill, but the quality is not guaranteed."

Upon hearing this, Master Yang suddenly jumped up like he had springs on his buttocks.

"What? Did he really say that? He's not afraid of being exposed as a fraud," he said in disbelief.

He himself had been practicing alchemy for over five thousand years and was a cultivator in the early stage of Soul Formation.

In the entire Daqian, he was highly respected, but even he wouldn't dare to claim that he could produce a quality pill with just a few sets of materials.

This was something that couldn't be sought after, but rather came from sudden enlightenment and feelings during his own alchemy process, which made it possible to refine a quality pill.

"Master Yang, the Ninth Prince did say that. So now, besides Daqian, many external forces are inquiring about him and looking for him. The Zhang family is overcrowded now."

"I don't believe there's such a talented person. There must be something wrong," Master Yang said with a dark expression. Based on his experience, this kind of thing was impossible.

However, this was the alchemy experience directly obtained by Zhang Ran from the system. Although Zhang Ran's talent was not high, he couldn't resist the infusion of tens of thousands of years of alchemy experience.

So his foundation was particularly solid, combined with many alchemy techniques that were unheard of in the Heavenly South Immortal Cultivation Domain.

He also had experience in refining quality pills, so the only issue was how much energy and time it would take for Zhang Ran to refine them.

As for collecting five sets of materials, that was obviously for profit.

A total of six sets of materials would be used to refine twenty pills.

After giving one with quality to someone else, he would net twenty fifth-level pills.

This profit would make Emperor Qian extremely shocked if he knew.

Before Master Yang could stabilize his mind, the subordinate hurriedly reported, "There's one more thing, Emperor Qian is collecting ingredients for the Three Transcendent Spirit Pills."

"Emperor Qian? He wants to refine the Three Transcendent Spirit Pills? I didn't know about this. Could it be that he sought the help of Tian Mo Old Ghost? Or invited the Lord of the Palace of the Medicine King in the North?"

Master Yang whispered in confusion, but then he thought, who dares to claim that they can refine a Three Transcendent Spirit Pill with a hundred percent success rate?

Unless it's a legendary sixth-level alchemist.

These old guys were too hard to find in the Heavenly South Immortal Cultivation Domain. They were all elusive.

"Master Yang, it seems that the Ninth Prince started looking for the ingredients after he visited the palace. Could it be...?"

"Hmph, how is that possible? Do you know what the Three Transcendent Spirit Pills represent? They are the ultimate pills for fifth-level alchemists. If I can refine this pill, I can be called the number one alchemist in Daqian. Even in the Heavenly South Immortal Cultivation Domain, I can be at the top."

Master Yang blew his mustache and thought for a moment.

"I'll go to the palace and see His Majesty, inquire about it."
