You Still Know You're My Successor, Huh?

To a young person, the first reaction to hearing about the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill" might be, "What good is that?"

Do you think I'm short of ten or twenty years?

But for an old monster on the verge of death, those ten or twenty years would be far too precious!

And don't forget, those old monsters are basically the patriarchs of various factions.

Under normal circumstances, virtually no power would want its ancestor to die quickly!

On the contrary, most forces hope that the patriarch can live longer, because the patriarch's existence is the greatest Sea Stabilizer for a sect.

Even if the patriarch is truly about to die, it would be best if he could at least go out and make a few enemies...

For example, in the Vast Heaven Holy Land, before the Holy Lord Gu Mingchao became the number one in the world, the Vast Heaven Holy Land also had two ancestors who had been on the verge of death many years ago.

But back when it was still the Vast Heaven Sect, the Vast Heaven Sect spared no expense in spending countless resources to prolong the life of its ancestor.

These two patriarchs never made a move, even until their deaths...

But if you ask Gu Mingchao now whether these two patriarchs are important, Gu Mingchao will tell you unequivocally that if it weren't for the support of these two patriarchs, he might have died before he even had a chance to become the number one in the world!

Do you think the pressure on the number one sect in the world is less?

Every day, countless people dream of taking down the number one sect in the world.

You only saw Gu Mingchao's Gu Mingchao after his success. Before becoming the number one in the world, even he had to live a life of hardship...

At this time, the two patriarchs of the sect were the greatest guarantee for Gu Mingchao and even the entire Vast Heaven Sect at that time.

Even though these two rarely show their faces, it is precisely because of their existence that no matter who you are, if you want to make a move against Gu Mingchao or Vast Heaven Sect, you must first consider whether you can withstand the wrath of these two!

So this is what inheritance is all about: one generation guarding the next, one generation succeeding another.

The year after Gu Mingchao became the number one in the world, the two patriarchs of the Vast Heaven Holy Land also passed away one after another...

The mausoleum that Gu Mingchao personally built for them!

Because Gu Mingchao knew very well that everyone in the world remembered Gu Mingchao as the strongest person in the world, but no one knew that he was able to become the strongest person in the world because two patriarchs were silently protecting him from the wind and rain!

And it's the same today... Gu Mingchao, this holy ruler, despite being disliked by everyone at home...

But this is because Gu Mingchao's personality is like that; he is not the kind of person who always wants others to think he is superior.

So what if you're the best in the world... Can't the best in the world be a goofball?

Who says being the best in the world has to be arrogant and cool?

Similarly, Gu Mingchao has now become the Sea Stabilizer of the Vast Heaven Holy Land. No matter how timid Gu Mingchao is at home, that's with his family...

For Gu Mingchao, Vast Heaven Holy Land was his home, a big family.

A large family needs a strict father, but it also needs a loving mother... The eldest elder plays the role of the strict father, Gu Mingchao wonders why he can't play the role of the loving mother?

But no matter how Gu Mingchao at home, when he's outside, he's always the toughest one.

After all, the Mingchao was inherently quirky, and mothers are known for their strength!

No matter who you are, no matter how powerful you are, as long as you dare to cross the bottom line of Vast Heaven Holy Land, Gu Mingchao will definitely slap you so hard that you can't take care of yourself!

It is precisely because of Gu Mingchao's ruthless methods that the disciples of Vast Heaven Holy Land have earned more respect when traveling outside!

Because everyone understands that you can fight with the disciples of Vast Heaven Holy Land, and even if you win against them, Vast Heaven Holy Land not cause you any trouble; they will only go home and educate their own disciples.

Because Gu Mingchao once said that if a disciple of the Vast Heaven Holy Land loses a fight outside, not only will no one from the Holy Land help you get revenge, but you will even be punished!

Of course, this is on the premise that your fight is fair and just, and not that you use any dirty tricks or underhanded tactics against the disciples of our Vast Heaven Holy Land.

If you actually do that, you can try and see if you'll encounter a Gu Mingchao who falls from the sky in the middle of the night...

This is true not only for the Vast Heaven Holy Land, but also for all other major powers.

Each major power has more or less a few patriarchs... The existence of these patriarchs may not even be fully known to the outside world, but their existence can provide these powers with a last resort when they encounter danger!

Therefore, no legitimate power would want their ancestor to pass away quickly.

In this situation, once the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill is used, there's no need to say more.

Ten years may not mean much to a young person, but for the patriarchs of each family, an extra ten years of lifespan means an extra ten years of protection for their sect.

It's even possible that the next ten years could defy fate and allow the ancestor to reach entirely new heights.

Therefore, the entire Four Continents are now in an uproar because of the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill, a pill that surpasses the three great miraculous pills.

These days, wherever you go, everyone is talking about the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill from the Vast Heaven Holy Land!

Cao City is a city bordering the Blazing Sun Continent and the Demon Star Continent...

In a restaurant called Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion in Cao City, countless cultivators from various continents have gathered. They are huddled together in small groups, discussing the matter of the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill.

"Brothers, I attended last year's All-Under-Heaven Alchemist Conference. You guys don't know, but many alchemists were even talking behind the scenes that Lord Xinghe's title of the world's number one alchemist was just a persona created by the Vast Heaven Holy Land. Isn't that hilarious?"

"Brother, let alone those alchemists, I actually believed it to some extent when I first heard this news. After all, who has ever seen the world's number one alchemist never make medicine on a regular basis..."

"This time, they all shut up... This is the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill... a being that surpasses the three great miraculous pills! Thus, Lord Xinghe has become the first to refine the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill; he will likely be famous for all time!"

"Wait a minute, brother... Wasn't the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill first refined by Li Mutong, the first patriarch of the Heavenly Medicine Palace? Chu Xinghe wasn't the first, was he?"

"This question of yours has actually been debated by many people recently. Palace Master Wu Qun of the Heavenly Medicine Palace. He said that while their Heavenly Medicine Palace's ancestor should be considered the discoverer of the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill, he cannot be considered its refiner. This is because there are regulations in the alchemy world... It's not that you can become the namer and refiner of a strange pill just because you occasionally refine it once. You must have a complete formula and a complete refining method..."

That's true. The alchemy community has been discussing whether Chu Xinghe is the creator of the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill for the past few days. Based on the rules for alchemists, the alchemists have finally determined that Chu Xinghe is the true creator of the Heaven -Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill!

An alchemist, in the course of their career, may very well concoct all sorts of pills with strange and unusual effects...

However, it doesn't mean that just because you inexplicably concocted it once, you've become the creator of this elixir.

To become a pioneer, there are two conditions: first, you must have the complete formula and refining method; second, you must be able to replicate the refining of this elixir.

Otherwise, if you don't even know what a pill formula is, or how it's made, then what you've made is at best a random concoction and can't be considered an accurate pill.

Li Mutong did indeed refine the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill and Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill, but Li Mutong never created a second one in his entire life. So, strictly speaking, Li Mutong was at most lucky; he could only be considered to have discovered the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill, not its true creator.

Therefore, Chu Xinghe remains the true creator of the Heaven-Stealing and Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill, and Chu Xinghe even has the right to name it.

The name "Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill" was given by Li Mutong, but he is not the true creator. So theoretically, if Chu Xinghe were to forcibly give the Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill a strange name now, then the pill would have a completely new name.

However, Chu Xinghe contacted Palace Master Wu Qun immediately regarding this matter.

In response, Chu Xinghe stated that although he considers himself the founder, Chu Xinghe still intends to continue using the name "Stealing the Sky and Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill," which he sees as the greatest recognition he can give to Senior Li Mutong.

The entire Heavenly Medicine Palace expressed their gratitude to Chu Xinghe his actions.

If Chu Xinghe were to name it directly, no one would think there would be any problem. Then, three to five hundred years later, when this pill is mentioned, everyone will remember Chu Xinghe, but not many people will remember Li Mutong.

But now, Chu Xinghe's actions are tantamount to giving half of his reputation to the Heavenly Medicine Palace!

Because the name "Heaven-Stealing Sun-Swapping Pill" was given by Li Mutong, whenever people mention this pill, they will mention Li Mutong, and mentioning Li Mutong will naturally mention the Heavenly Medicine Palace. This is a huge boost to the reputation of the Heavenly Medicine Palace!

As a result, the number of people coming to the Heavenly Medicine Palace to seek medicine and become apprentices has increased significantly recently. This is the power of reputation!

Of course, the most excited person in the entire Heavenly Medicine Palace had to be the Little Squirrel... The Little Squirrel said, "Master, Senior Brother Xinghe has given half of his reputation to our Heavenly Medicine Palace. Wouldn't it be a bit too much for Senior Brother Xinghe not to properly thank him?"

Therefore, under these circumstances, Master, I request to be sent to Senior Brother Xinghe. This would be the greatest way for our Heavenly Medicine Palace to express our gratitude to Senior Brother Xinghe!

In response, Wu Qun said, "My disciple... are you sure this is really gratitude towards Chu Xinghe?"

Also, are you sure you can survive the first night once you arrive at the Vast Heaven Holy Land?

The Little Squirrel seemed to think, "Master, aren't you looking down on your disciple's medicinal skills a bit?"

My disciple is your most outstanding student, hailed as your heir! How could my medicinal skills be unable to cure poison?

To this, Wu Qun, you still remember that you are my successor?

Whose heir is always thinking about giving themselves away?

Furthermore, it's not that your master looks down on your medicinal skills, but rather that your master feels you've underestimated Ouyang Ling's poison skills to some extent...

I don't know how good your medicine skills are, but Ouyang Ling's poison skills even turned Gu Mingchao's Divinity blue...
