The Medicine God's Legacy

If it were just a matter of similar eyes, it could be considered a coincidence. However, this Nine Li Witch Maiden is also a mortal, just like Huan Chenxue, so it's unlikely to be a coincidence.

There must be a significant connection between these two women.

"Senior Old Snake, who exactly is she...?"

Yi Yun asked the old snake, who knew Huan Chenxue and should naturally know the secrets behind it.

However, to Yi Yun's surprise, the old snake hesitated for a while before transmitting its voice to Yi Yun, saying, "I don't know who she is either."

"Senior doesn't know either?" Yi Yun was speechless after hearing the old snake's words. In Yi Yun's opinion, the old snake had lived for so long, it should know something.

"What's so strange about that? I'm not omnipotent. The race that Chenxue belongs to is even more ancient than my Viper Clan. Although I have interacted with them, I don't fully understand the various secrets of those Ancient Secret Tribe."

"Young friend Yi Yun, this is my clan's witch," said the Old Man Black Stone.

At this moment, the Black-clothed Woman in the main hall stood up and walked towards Yi Yun. "Young Master Yi, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm so sorry to have troubled you to come all this way."

Yi Yun clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Your Highness the Witch Maiden, you are too kind. This time, Yunze City and the Nine Li Witch Kingdom have relieved my predicament. There is no need for you to trouble me."

Hearing Yi Yun's words, the Nine Li Witch Maiden smiled slightly and said, "I heard from Senior Black Stone that when they arrived, although Young Master Yi was surrounded, he remained calm and composed. Presumably, even without our help, Young Master Yi should have had a way to escape."

The woman in the black veil had a soft and pleasant voice; she could win people's favor without even realizing it.

Yi Yun smiled but did not answer. Instead, he asked, "I wonder what the Nine Li Witch Kingdom wants me to do by summoning me here this time?"

The Nine Li Witch Maiden shook her head and said, "Young Master Yi, there's no need to be in such a hurry. The main reason I called Young Master Yi here is to get to know Young Master Yi. As for what we'll do... I'll take Young Master Yi there to see it for yourself. However, this matter is too difficult. Perhaps Young Master Yi can't accomplish it now, but one day in the future, you will be able to complete it. When that happens, my Nine Li Witch Kingdom will surely reward you handsomely."

As the Nine Li Witch Maiden spoke, she stood up and walked away, with Yi Yun and the Old Man Black Stone following behind. The Nine Li Witch Maiden passed through a corridor and arrived at a huge square, where more than ten thousand people had already gathered. These people were all alchemists and martial artists from the outside world.

People from the Danxin Sect were naturally among them.

"It's Yi Yun, that little bastard is here."

Upon seeing Yi Yun, the Danxin Sect members whispered. As the saying goes, enemies meeting are especially hostile, Danxin Sect members were even more displeased when they discovered that Yi Yun had received special treatment, being taken to see someone by the Old Man Black Stone while they were left waiting here.

Who is that woman?

The members of the Danxin Sect were somewhat puzzled when they saw the Nine Li Witch Maiden; wasn't she just a mortal?

Why would an ordinary person appear here, and seemingly of a very high status?

"Since you've come all this way, let's witness this together."

The Nine Li Witch Maiden paid no attention to the more than ten thousand people present. She took out a small and exquisite dagger from somewhere, cut open her palm, and dripped blood.

The blood didn't drip onto the ground; instead, it was drawn into the air by some force. Then, the blood droplets seemed to fall onto an invisible surface of water and disappear. At the same time, the blood droplets stirred up ripples on the water's surface, creating beautiful ripples that slowly spread outwards.

"This is..."

When the ripples appeared, people felt a vast and ancient aura wash over them, as if they had traveled back to the distant past and witnessed the myths and history of ancient times.

They saw an entrance appear in the space centered on the blood droplet. Looking through this entrance, they could see a corner of a vast world, a world ravaged and filled with yellow sand and desert, resembling an Ancient Battlefield.

"This is it. Follow me if you want to see it."

After speaking, the Nine Li Witch Maiden slowly walked into this world.

By this time, the cave entrance had expanded to several tens of feet. After a slight hesitation, the people in the square stepped inside one after another.

Stepping on the yellow sands of the Gobi Desert, it feels as if one is treading on the dust of history from millions of years ago. People move forward slowly, and at this moment, dark red ancient patterns faintly emerge beneath the yellow sand, like blood stained with the sand.

This is a large formation.

People were astonished; this formation was no ordinary thing, and they didn't know why it had been set up.

But when Yi Yun stepped onto this land, he had a very familiar feeling; this was...

"This world was created by the ancestors of my Jiuli clan, and the Medicine God set up a great array in this world. This array has existed for a very, very long time, and its purpose is to... nurture a single elixir."

The Nine Li Witch Maiden spoke these words slowly, and everyone present was shaken.

Nurturing a pill?

This vast array, spanning an entire world, is actually a medicine-cultivating array!

Those present were all alchemists. They knew that many pills were too difficult to refine, so alchemists would choose to refine a semi-finished pill first, then place it in a grand formation to nourish it for thousands of years until the pill was finally completed.

However, the grand array they were seeing was far more than just an ordinary medicine-nurturing array. Just by looking at the spiritual array patterns, they could sense how terrifying this array was.

"What kind of elixir is this that warrants such a fuss?"

"It was said before that the Medicine God had something unfinished. Could it be this pill? Then this great formation has been running for hundreds of millions of years?"

People realized this problem and gasped in shock. The usual Method of Nourishing Medicine were only enough for 100,000 years, and elixirs that could be nurtured for a million years were almost extinct. After all, even a god-king only lived for a few million years.

What kind of concept is this elixir that has been nurtured for hundreds of millions of years!?

The Nine Li Witch Maiden nodded gently. "Indeed, this is what the Medicine God left behind. However, this formation was not originally meant to operate for hundreds of millions of years. It's just a pity that the Medicine God never returned and was unable to complete the pills within this formation. After the Medicine God, no alchemist has been able to complete these pills. Our Jiuli clan has gathered alchemists from all over the world several times to study this Medicine Nurturing Great Formation, but all to no avail."

"Over the years, our Jiuli clan has maintained the operation of the great formation. The essence of heaven and earth accumulated over hundreds of millions of years is unimaginable. We also don't know to what extent the pills within the formation have evolved..."

The Nine Li Witch Maiden spoke calmly, but every word she uttered was chilling!

If that's true, the value of this elixir is simply unimaginable!

"What a grand gesture..." an elderly alchemist exclaimed. "Only the Medicine God could leave behind such a miracle. I could never reach his level in my entire life..."

"This formation is too grand; I'm afraid we'll have a hard time completing it."

Another pharmacist said that they had come here with the intention of broadening their horizons after hearing about what the Medicine God had left behind. At the same time, they thought that if they could complete what the Medicine God had left behind, they would not only become famous, but also gain tremendous benefits.

But now, seeing this Medicine Nurturing Great Formation that had lasted for hundreds of millions of years, they felt a sense of awe and wonder. How could they possibly complete such a large-scale array?

For a time, most alchemists felt discouraged and were simply looking to broaden their horizons.

Just then, an aged voice rang out from the crowd. The speaker was an old man wearing a heavy cloak.

"An unfinished Medicine Nurturing Great Formation has frightened you so much that you don't even have the courage to explore its mysteries. With such a mindset, how can you talk about alchemy?"

Hearing the old man's words, the alchemists who had just spoken up were all furious. Who was this person who spoke so arrogantly!

They were about to retort, but upon seeing the cloaked elder who had spoken, they all fell silent.

The old man stood in the Danxin Sect's camp, and for some reason, no one noticed him at first.

What's most alarming is that the True Lord Qisha of the Danxin Sect actually stood respectfully behind the cloaked old man.

"This..."

Everyone knows that the True Lord Qisha holds a position in the Danxin Sect that is almost equal to that of the sect leader. The only person who can command such respect from the True Lord Qisha is the Danxin Sect's patriarch.

"That old man is the patriarch of the Danxin Sect!? The patriarch of the Danxin Sect has actually appeared?"

"Didn't he seal himself inside the Blood Fiend Jade a long time ago? He probably hasn't made a move for millions of years."

People were astonished. In order to prolong his life, the sect's patriarch sealed himself inside the Blood Fiend Jade, only to appear when the sect was in danger. This way, the sect's fortune could be preserved for tens of millions of years.

The old monster sealed in the Blood Fiend Jade would have his lifespan greatly shortened every time he came out. People never expected that because of the relic left by the Medicine God of the Nine Li Witch Kingdom, the Danxin Sect Ancestor would pay such a price and personally take action!
