A powerful energy is surging into their bodies, and that force seems to contain imnse fortune, transforming their demon forms.
Agonizing pain radiates from their bodies.
The Black King is faring a bit better, but Tian Xuan finds it unbearable.
Yet, even so, they grit their teeth and endure it.
Because they can feel that the energy is beneficial and harmless to them, perhaps the greatest opportunity of their lives.
And this opportunity cos from the grace of their master!
...
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Crisp footsteps echo on the palace’s white jade floor.
In a white robe, Luo Chen proceeds neither quickly nor slowly, with half his mind focused on the Sea of Qi and the other half on the surrounding architecture.
In the Sea of Qi, Luo Chen maneuvers his Lifebound Golden Core, placing it once more into the Primordial Chaos Tripod.
This action is to facilitate the release of the Senluo Fire Prison in case of encountering an enemy.
The movent is sowhat cautious because the Fifth-Order Yefadian Pill he successfully refined is lying inside the Primordial Chaos Tripod.
It’s best that the two do not collide.
After everything is adjusted, Luo Chen’s gaze lands on those buildings.
The overall style is consistent with those stone houses of the Outer World.
But in terms of detail, they are vastly different.
The materials used for the palace, even with Luo Chen’s knowledge, cannot be fully identified.
He only knows that they are Excellent! Expensive! Rare!
And these materials blend entirely as if naturally so.
Suddenly.
Three roads appeared before Luo Chen.
"Three roads again?"
Luo Chen murmured, following his heart to the rightmost path.
After several breaths, he reached the end.
A faint pill fragrance wafted out.
"Oh?"
Slling the complex pill aroma, Luo Chen couldn’t help but push open the door of the Side Hall.
As far as the eye could see, there were sparse wooden racks, stacked layer upon layer, like a forest of trees.
With a movent, Luo Chen ca to the side of a wooden rack and took down a Jade Vial.
Uncorked it!
Nothing!
Nothing, all gone.
Imnse joy in his heart transford into imnse disappointnt.
This Side Hall was evidently a storehouse of finished elixirs.
But for so reason, it’s desolate, as if all the elixirs had been taken away, even the protective array for the pills had lost its energy source and hadn’t been activated.
"Was it the Cultivators of the Yuan Mo Sect?"
Luo Chen regretfully grasped an Ascendant Grade Spirit Stone, crushing it lightly.
Powder fell, indicating the spirit stone inside was already exhausted, leaving only an empty shell.
He could imagine if this place were at its peak, it could house tens of thousands, or even millions of elixirs!
Fully satisfying the demands of top-tier major forces.
If he acquires this legacy, he wouldn’t need to strive for his entire life.
Sit and enjoy, the mountains would never be exhausted!
Especially if there were high-order elixirs like the Yefadian Pill inside, it would be...
"Perhaps, more than just the Yefadian Pill!"
"The talent of the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch, even if it’s just the tip of the iceberg, is already stunning. Fifth-Order Divine Pill, not necessarily his limit. Sixth Order, Seventh Order..."
Murmuring, he couldn’t hide his disappointnt.
Luo Chen exited that Side Hall, pulling the door closed.
Returning to the starting point, he hesitated for a mont and this ti chose the leftmost.
According to his thought, the middle path should lead to the Main Hall or possibly the way out.
Before leaving, he might as well explore a bit.
Step by step forward, he finally arrived at the last Side Hall, adorned with carved beams and painted rafters, and embossed with exotic beast sculptures.
Luo Chen took a deep breath and pushed open the ancient door.
Like before, there were the sa wooden racks.
But different, these racks were obviously for storing books.
And this ti, Luo Chen was not disappointed.
In his pupils, though largely empty, hundreds of protective light screens still glowed brightly.
Hundreds of them!
He approached these protective screens, sowhat hesitant.
Because he could feel the terrifying power contained within these light screens, with his current capability, he might not be able to open them.
Especially on the highest shelf at the back, there was a blurry black page slowly floating.
That was the most dangerous!
Right when Luo Chen was hesitating, this place seed to sense sothing, and all the light screens gradually retracted inward.
"Did it sense that I’m the inheritor?"
The aura of the Spirit Spring on Luo Chen had yet to dissipate.
Lost in thought, he walked to the nearest scroll of silver beast skin book.
He took it down, a flash of light appeared briefly.
Then, Luo Chen slowly unfolded the silver beast skin.
What appeared before his eyes was a thod of Pill Refinent that Luo Chen had never seen before.
Its na was the Desolate Bone Alchemy Technique!
Using beast bones as a dium, blending the Pill Refiner’s Blood Essence, and using the lives of living beings as fuel. If there is fresh resentnt, it would be even better...
"It feels a bit sinister?"
Luo Chen muttered to himself, placing the book into his storage ring.
Then, he looked at the next one, a book engraved on an evil ghost statue.
"Seventh Volu of the Golden Feind Asura"
"I know Asura, a ghost creature, kindred of Yin Souls, dwelling in Biluohuangquan, Netherworld realms. But what is a Golden Feind Asura, a type of demon race?"
Luo Chen recalled those classics from the third stage, it indeed briefly ntioned a type of demon race.
Slightly connected to Ghost Yaksha, nad as Golden Feind Asura.
It seed that what was recorded on this statue was unique alchemical knowledge of that race.
Received!
No ti to examine closely, Luo Chen accepted them one by one.
In the end, it was as if the wind swept through the fallen clouds, all collected into his bag.
Except for a long pause on a thick black-skinned to.
Its na was "Alchemy Canon of Refining Heaven".
If nothing unusual, this robust to might be the alchemical scriptures personally authored by Refining Heaven Demon Monarch.
In silence, Luo Chen raised his head to look at the bookshelf in the hall.
"Perhaps, this is the real content of the inheritance!"
"Seventy-two volus of alchemy scriptures covering the human, demon, and monster races, and countless quaint small races. Mastering them would make achieving a Grandmaster of Alchemy Concoction effortless, not to ntion becoming an Alchemy Saint, and even further, comprehending the Laws of Alchemy..."
He stepped forward again, his hands moving swiftly, though the books behind were bizarre, the recorded content was sparse.
Because each recorded only one complete or incomplete Pill Formula.
In total, there were thirty-six Pill Formulas altogether.
Most could be examined directly, ranging from the first to the fifth order, everything available.
The Yanfa Pill Formula was prominently listed!
However, while he could examine the Yanfa Pill Formula, the protective cover on the other Fifth Order Pill Formulas still functioned, blocking his Divine Consciousness.
And what excited Luo Chen the most were the last three Pill Formulas, also unable to be viewed in full.
One for Soul-Stabilizing, one for Void-Examining, both described as Sixth Rank!
In other words, these are Elixirs only for the Refining Void True Monarch to consu.
And the last one, Luo Chen’s hand trembled, just holding it.
This was a page enveloped entirely by Black Fog, resisting Luo Chen’s Divine Consciousness peering, Qi Power peration, and even eyesight gaze.
Only one piece of information suddenly entered his mind.
[Eighth Rank — Dao Integration]
At this mont, no words could describe Luo Chen’s feelings.
He could only carefully place this Pill Formula into the Ink Ring, hiding it at the bottom, mixing it with a large collection of "junk" books.
So, Luo Chen tiptoed out of the Side Hall.
Before leaving, he thought for a mont, turned around, and bowed.
Receiving such inheritance, he ought to perform the disciple’s courtesy.
Unfortunately, the True Monarch wasn’t in front of him, otherwise, he would gladly kneel thrice and kowtow nine tis!
"It’s a sha not to know the True Monarch’s specific na, the title Refining Heaven Demon Monarch is rely a Daoist moniker, otherwise, he would set up a ntor’s shrine, offer incense to comfort the spirit in heaven."
Luo Chen suppressed his excitent, slowly retracing his steps back.
Finally, he stood again at the forked path.
By this mont, he had forcibly cald his emotions.
It’s ti to see the outside world.
Taking big strides forward, going farther...finally, Luo Chen’s steps halted at the entrance of a Main Hall.
With just one look, the emotion Luo Chen had so barely cald surged again.
A black Great Cauldron stood silently in the center of the Main Hall.
With his knowledge in Artifact Refining, Luo Chen could not determine the order of this cauldron.
He only knew that the intangible pressure it emanated far exceeded anyone he had ever seen!
Neither Han Zhan and Ao Xiao, nor the two independent cultivators of the Blood Moon, and even Youquan and Qing Shuang under this pressure were like ants.
Such power, absolutely not an ordinary Magic Item.
It had likely surpassed the order of True Devices, only comparable to those legendary Spiritual Treasures.
"Could it be, this is the true legacy left in the alchemy branch by the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch?"
Elation was apparent on his face.
His body moved involuntarily.
Luo Chen stepped forward, unable to resist moving toward the black cauldron.
His right hand couldn’t help but reach out, about to touch the black Great Cauldron.
Just at this mont, a feeble voice faintly ca from inside the cauldron.
"You have arrived."
