Chapter 2721 - 2710: Inheritance! Upheaval!

Ye Chenfeng’s actions naturally attracted the attention of Lin Yurou, Lin Anhao, and Skyhawk, and their gazes were all focused on the iron block in Ye Chenfeng’s hand.

When Lin Anhao had previously held the iron block, he couldn’t feel any special quality from it at all. He couldn’t understand how such a piece of iron could possibly cut Ye Chenfeng’s palm.

But when he saw the four words slowly appearing on the front of the iron block, the expression in his eyes became stunned.

Progenitor of Medicine.

The meaning of these four words couldn’t be more clear. From the Chaos Era to the present, only one person could be called the Progenitor of Medicine.

It’s said that during the early formation of the Chaos Era, there were no alchemists! It was only after cultivators explored gradually, step by step, that the concept of an alchemist emerged.

The person referred to as the Progenitor of Medicine in the Chaos Era was the first to reach the status of Supreme Alchemist. He was also the one who established the field of alchemy, and it can be said that all current alchemy techniques have evolved from his original methods.

It’s said that the Progenitor of Medicine pursued the ultimate in alchemy throughout his life. Long before the great calamity of the Chaos Era arrived, he had already disappeared without a trace. No one knows where he went. Did he die? Or did he refine an unparalleled elixir, reaching eternal life through it?

Once all the blood had seeped into the iron block, the words "Progenitor of Medicine" on its front became even more distinct.

Ye Chenfeng felt the iron block, having absorbed his blood, become exceedingly warm.

Lin Anhao exclaimed in amazement, "Could this iron block be related to the legendary Progenitor of Medicine? But it’s just an iron block. What kind of opportunity could it possibly hold?"

Skyhawk said, "I believe this iron block was something the Chaos Demon Emperor came across inadvertently back in the day. Perhaps he sensed something special about it, so he kept it. However, he never managed to unravel its mystery, which is why it ended up being discarded here in the end."

Lin Yurou also agreed with Skyhawk’s speculation, glancing at Ye Chenfeng: "Now that you can make the iron block react, there must be a reason for it."

Ye Chenfeng’s palm, which had been cut by the iron block, actually began to heal on its own, further convincing him that the iron block was not ordinary.

He began to carefully sense the iron block, focusing all his consciousness on it.

Suddenly, a suction force formed from the iron block, pulling his consciousness entirely into its interior.

Skyhawk and the others immediately noticed something was off with Ye Chenfeng. Lin Anhao waved his hand in front of Ye Chenfeng’s face twice, noticing no reaction: "What’s wrong with him? Why is he in such a daze?"

Skyhawk, more knowledgeable than Lin Yurou and Lin Anhao, said, "The master’s consciousness has separated from his body, and it should be related to this iron block. Now, we can only wait patiently."

Ye Chenfeng’s consciousness entered a dim space within the iron block, where everything around was gray and misty, as if there were clouds continuously rolling.

Ye Chenfeng frowned, knowing that this had to be the internal space of the iron block.

As he observed his surroundings, not far ahead, the clouds were churning more fiercely, and a figure gradually appeared within the roiling clouds.

This figure was an old man with disheveled hair, and his clothes were tattered, giving him a beggar-like appearance.

However, the old man’s eyes were exceptionally keen. After staring at Ye Chenfeng for a long time, his hoarse voice echoed from his throat: "I don’t know what era it is now. Since you can enter here, you are the one I have chosen, and my legacy belongs to you."

The old man’s voice sounded rather mechanical.

This old man should be the Progenitor of Medicine. But here, perhaps he wasn’t even a trace of consciousness, just an image left by the Progenitor of Medicine, possibly slightly higher than an image, purely used for the purpose of passing on his legacy.

After the mechanical statement, a seven-colored flame emerged from the palm of the Progenitor of Medicine.

This caused Ye Chenfeng’s eyes to narrow; the seven-colored flame was the highest quality within the Heaven and Earth Flame.

Once again, the voice of the Progenitor of Medicine rang out: "What is the highest realm of alchemy? After reaching the status of supreme, I slowly realized that even among Supreme Alchemists there are distinctions of high and low."

"Among Supreme Alchemists, some can surpass other Supremes hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times over in alchemical ability."

"Throughout my life, I pursued the pinnacle of alchemy. In truth, the medicine cauldron and flame are all auxiliary. A truly powerful alchemist can refine elixir pills without relying on these aids."

As he spoke, the Progenitor of Medicine clenched his hand, and the seven-colored Heaven and Earth Flame in his palm dissipated.

Beside him appeared numerous spirit grasses, all of which were low-grade spirit grasses for refining first-grade elixirs.

One by one, the spirit grasses flew into the Progenitor of Medicine’s hand, and without using flames, these spirit grasses began to dissolve slowly, subsequently blending their liquids.

This process usually required the use of flames, but the Progenitor of Medicine did not need flames at all.

As time passed slowly, the fragrance of elixirs developed in the air, and thirty first-grade elixir pills appeared in the Progenitor of Medicine’s hand.

Alchemy by hand.

Ye Chenfeng also knew a bit about it, but he hadn’t reached the peak of perfection! As for refining elixirs without using flames, he had never even considered it before.

It seems he wasn’t the first to refine elixirs by hand. The Progenitor of Medicine had long been doing it, just never recorded in any ancient texts.

After refining first-grade elixirs without the use of a medicine cauldron or flames, the Progenitor of Medicine continued: "To become a supremely powerful Peak Alchemist, first imagine yourself as the medicine cauldron, imagine yourself as the flame."

"Each cultivator has a type of qi within them, which will enhance along with their cultivation. This qi is extremely fiery."

"Since this qi comes from within your body, once you master it, you can refine elixir pills more freely."

Listening to the Progenitor of Medicine, Ye Chenfeng’s heart was in turmoil. The Progenitor of Medicine’s words could entirely overturn the current world of alchemy.

Every cultivator has a type of qi suitable for alchemy?

If this is true, then every cultivator could become an alchemist. Once mastering this type of qi, the chances of becoming an alchemist would significantly increase.

Ye Chenfeng became excited. He never expected to receive the Progenitor of Medicine’s legacy here in the tomb of the Chaos Demon Emperor, making it truly a rare encounter.

Though it wasn’t directly enhancing his cultivation, if it could raise his level as an alchemist, then perhaps he could refine even more powerful Supreme Elixirs.
