The reason the alchemy room is located behind the mountain is because there is Earth Fire there, which can be used as the fire for the pill furnace. This greatly benefits the process of alchemy and is the reason the alchemy room was established here!
However, the Earth Fire in the pill furnace is very unstable and usually requires maintenance by the Ximen Family. If someone were to secretly detonate the Earth Fire in the pill furnace, it would result in a severe earthquake across the entire back mountain. In that case, forget about alchemy—every pill furnace could potentially explode!
"Are we really going to detonate the Earth Fire in the pill furnace?" The acting family head asked, somewhat pained.
The alchemy rooms across the back mountain are a precious asset of the Ximen Family. If the Earth Fire in the pill furnace is detonated, the loss would be immense, and the acting family head is somewhat reluctant!
