Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Chapter 217: Chapter 216: Pill King Scripture

”I wonder how much of the Yuan Feng Ancestor’s inheritance he’ll obtain?” The crowd watched with great anticipation.

While the elders of the Lingyun Sect watched expectantly, Ling Fei was in the process of receiving the inheritance.

The voice of the Yuan Feng Pill King continuously echoed in his mind.

”To learn Alchemy, you must first learn to distinguish medicinal herbs and understand their properties...”

”Next is cultivating the ingredients. Only ingredients of sufficient age, with excellent medicinal properties suitable for the Pill Formula, can be used to refine a good Pill...”

”After learning to cultivate ingredients, the next step is Condensing Pill Fire!”

”To perform Alchemy, one must first have a fire. Fires are divided into Earth Fire and True Fire!”

”Earth Fire is the fire of the Earth Veins. To use it for Alchemy, one must channel the Fire Flames from deep within the earth. This fire is extremely difficult to control and cannot be carried with you, making it impossible to perform Alchemy on the go. For this reason, most Alchemists cultivate their own True Fire. Only by mastering True Fire can you perform Alchemy whenever and wherever you wish, and only then can you masterfully control the fire’s intensity.”

”If you possess a Fire Spirit Body, you can easily cultivate a True Fire. If you cannot cultivate a True Fire, then you must merge with a Celestial Fire.”

”The so-called Celestial Fire is an Anomalous Fire born from the heavens and earth. However, merging with one is also extremely difficult. Many have been incinerated into nothingness while trying, dying full of regret. Thus, those who cannot condense a True Fire can only resort to using Earth Fire for Alchemy, and their lifetime achievements will forever be limited!”

’So I must condense a True Fire to achieve anything in the Alchemy Dao?’ Upon hearing this, Ling Fei’s brow furrowed tightly.

He had not cultivated a True Fire.

’Does this mean I can’t become an Alchemy Grandmaster?’

”After condensing a fire, you can begin Alchemy,” the Yuan Feng Ancestor’s voice continued.

...

Ling Fei continued to listen to the Yuan Feng Pill King’s explanations of the Alchemy Dao.

”Ordinary Alchemists use herbs to refine Pills. A true Grandmaster can draw upon the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and infuse it into the Pill. Only then can they truly seize the good fortune of heaven and earth.” Yuan Feng’s expression was solemn. He was filled with passion when speaking of the Alchemy Dao, and Ling Fei, listening at his side, couldn’t help but feel his own blood boil with excitement.

’Condense Heaven and Earth Essence Qi to refine a Pill?’ Ling Fei was stunned.

”I have read countless ancient texts and combined them with my own knowledge to leave behind a Pill King Scripture for future generations to study,” the Yuan Feng Pill King said.

Immediately, he moved his finger again.

Instantly, Light Patterns flickered, and text flooded into Ling Fei’s mind.

BZZZT!

Ling Fei felt his mind roar.

Then, a deep voice rang out.

”Heaven gives birth to all things, and all things contain Essence Qi. There is nothing that cannot be used for Alchemy. With a single thought, mountains can be refined into a Pill, great rivers can be refined, Primordial Veins can be refined...”

The Yuan Feng Pill King’s voice was filled with a strange, captivating power.

The general principles of this Pill King Scripture made Ling Fei’s mind race with images.

He envisioned a peerless expert, grasping mountains and rivers with his hands, placing them into a Pill Cauldron, and refining them into a Pill.

’What kind of power is this?’ Waves of shock crashed through Ling Fei’s heart.

He had never dared to even imagine such a thing before.

In that moment, Ling Fei was filled with a deep yearning for the path of Alchemy.

Previously, he had only wanted to learn Alchemy to heal his foster father.

But now, he truly felt the profound and boundless nature of the Alchemy Dao.

It was not as simple as just refining Pills.

Pushed to its limits, one could refine the heavens and the earth themselves!

Subsequently, a vast amount of knowledge about Alchemy poured into Ling Fei’s mind.

The knowledge was immense and profound, mysterious beyond compare. The more he learned, the more Ling Fei realized just how extraordinary the Pill King Scripture was.

Although many of the theories within it had yet to be verified even by the Yuan Feng Pill King himself, they showed Ling Fei the vast, limitless world of the Alchemy Dao.

This was a great path filled with infinite possibilities.

”Alas, I immersed myself entirely in the Alchemy Dao for my whole life, neglecting Martial Arts. Even as a Pill King, it was far from enough. I failed to refine the Heaven and Earth Divine Pill. Though I had an epiphany in my later years, my lamp was already running out of oil. It was too late. I can only sigh... life cannot be redone. If I could, I would have pursued the Dual Cultivation of Alchemy and Martial Arts.”

In the end, the Yuan Feng Pill King let out a sigh.

With insufficient Martial Arts Cultivation, his lifespan was limited. Ultimately, he could not defy the heavens.

”Therefore, if you receive my inheritance, you must not immerse yourself solely in Alchemy. You must also study diligently on the path of Martial Arts. Only by unifying Alchemy and Martial Arts can you become a true Pill Venerable. I imagine that then, a Pill Master could truly refine the sun and moon, seize the good fortune of heaven and earth, create Divine Pills, and help mortals achieve immortality.”

This was the Yuan Feng Pill King’s hope for his successor.

Back then, he lacked the power to achieve his goals, but he tirelessly read ancient texts, merged them with his own insights, and compiled the Pill King Scripture.

It was the culmination of his life’s work, his most precious treasure.

’Refine the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers; seize the good fortune of heaven and earth!’ Those words echoed endlessly in Ling Fei’s mind.

This was the Yuan Feng Pill King’s regret.

”Remember this, remember this!” The Yuan Feng Pill King retracted his finger, then spoke to Ling Fei with a hopeful expression.

”I will be sure to remember Senior’s teachings and fulfill your last wish. In this life, I, Ling Fei, will not only become an Alchemy Grandmaster, but I will also reign supreme in Martial Arts. When that time comes, I too want to see if an alchemy cultivator can truly refine mountains and rivers, seize the good fortune of heaven and earth, create a Divine Pill, and achieve immortality.” Ling Fei’s eyes shone with determination. He was filled with anticipation for the road ahead.

Before, while he had the goal of becoming strong to heal his foster father, it had been a vague ambition.

Now, his goal had clearly become much sharper.

It was to become the kind of Alchemy Grandmaster that the Yuan Feng Pill King had strived to be.

”Good. I hope you can achieve great things.” The phantom of the Yuan Feng Pill King nodded and said, ”I can see that you do not possess a True Fire. However, within the Pill King Scripture I have passed to you, there is a method for merging with a Celestial Fire. As long as you prepare properly, you can still merge with a Celestial Fire and become an Alchemist.”

”I understand,” Ling Fei nodded.

Even if merging with a Celestial Fire was difficult, he still wouldn’t give up.

”That’s good.” The Yuan Feng Pill King smiled with satisfaction, and then the phantom formed from his wisp of remnant consciousness began to blur.

”How I wish I could see the day you become an Alchemy Grandmaster!” His eyes were filled with nothing but hope.

Unfortunately, he was merely a lingering obsession left behind by a remnant consciousness.

Only when an outsider triggered the Restriction on the Pill King Cauldron would this remnant consciousness be awakened.

As the Yuan Feng Pill King’s figure dissipated, Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit also withdrew from within the Pill King Cauldron.

At that moment, the Light Patterns on the Pill King Cauldron retracted, and the manifested giant cauldron and azure flames all disappeared.

”The Pill King Cauldron... I never thought I would have such a fortuitous encounter this time!” Ling Fei’s eyes opened, and he stared at the giant cauldron before him, muttering to himself.

He never would have imagined that by simply going to observe the Pill King Cauldron, he would end up triggering the Restriction within it.

According to the Pill King, this happened because Ling Fei’s Divine Soul was powerful enough to trigger the Restriction and enter the space inside the cauldron.

However, that alone wasn’t enough to obtain the Pill King’s inheritance.

He was only able to obtain the inheritance because his True Dragon Roar had shattered the oppressive pressure within the cauldron’s space, thereby meeting the requirement.

This was not something an ordinary young Cultivator could accomplish!

’If I hadn’t cultivated the True Dragon Refining God Technique, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have obtained this opportunity.’ Ling Fei understood this perfectly.

Then, his gaze shifted, and he discovered that the surrounding area was shimmering with Light Patterns. It seemed he had been isolated.

”He has finished receiving the inheritance!” At this moment, Master Yuan Chun, who was standing nearby, smiled. With a wave of his hand, he retrieved the Treasure Cauldron from the Void.

When the Treasure Cauldron was withdrawn, Ling Fei looked back, only to see that a crowd of elders with extraordinary auras had gathered at the entrance to Medicine Peak.

Among them, three white-haired, long-bearded elders exuded a particularly transcendent, immortal-like air.

’What happened?’ Ling Fei was taken aback.

’How did so many people appear in the blink of an eye?’

’Judging by their auras, they don’t seem much weaker than the Celestial Emperor of the Great Tang Empire!’
