The patriarch of the Danxin Sect narrowed his eyes and looked at Yi Yun. He did not expect that Danxin Sect wanted to obtain Yi Yun's inheritance of the Medicine God, and Yi Yun actually dared to covet Danxin Sect's Purple Spirit Medicine Soil.

It's like when a lion tries to catch a mouse, and the mouse says, "If you can't catch me, you'll have to cut off a piece of my flesh for me to eat."

How could Danxin Old Ancestor not be furious?

"You really think that a mere ant who got lucky out of nowhere is worthy of negotiating a bet with my Danxin Sect? If it weren't for the Nine Li Witch Kingdom protecting you, you would have been crushed to death like an ant long ago!"

As the Danxin Old Ancestor spoke, his aura locked onto Yi Yun, like an ancient Giant Beast wanting to devour him whole.

Just then, a chill descended from the sky, penetrating the back of the Danxin Sect's neck and down to his heels, causing him to catch his breath.

He turned his head and saw the Old Man Black Stone staring coldly at him.

"Do you think my warnings didn't exist?" The Old Man Black Stone's voice was filled with murderous intent. "Humans are truly forgetful. Perhaps my Nine Li Witch Kingdom has been dormant for too long, and people only think that my Nine Li Witch Kingdom is indifferent to the world, but they have forgotten which forces were destroyed by my Nine Li. I have warned you repeatedly, but you have completely ignored my words and continue to jump around in my Nine Li Witch Kingdom. My patience has its limits. Do you believe that if I find out in the future that the Danxin Sect has made a move against Yi Yun, I can make sure that the Danxin Sect is erased from history!"

The Old Man Black Stone spoke slowly and deliberately, but every word he uttered was like a dagger piercing the heart of the Danxin Old Ancestor.

Danxin Old Ancestor's heart skipped a beat; he knew that the Old Man Black Stone was no joke.

"You... My Danxin Sect has nearly 100,000 disciples, and you're going to wipe out my entire Danxin Sect for Yi Yun?"

Their Danxin Sect has a history of tens of millions of years, countless industries, and numerous disciples, while Yi Yun has only lived for a hundred or two hundred years. This is like an ant killing an elephant.

The Old Man Black Stone sneered and said, "Do you think destroying your Danxin Sect is such a big deal? My Nine Li Witch Kingdom has witnessed hundreds of millions of years of history. In this history, too many great sects have been destroyed. Your Danxin Sect has survived for 30 million years, which is already considered a long life."

Upon hearing the words of the Old Man Black Stone, the Danxin Old Ancestor stood there, as if petrified. Subconsciously, he had indeed believed that the Nine Li Witch Kingdom was aloof from the world, only watching the struggles between different forces from a high place without intervening. He had forgotten that the Nine Li Witch Kingdom was a true ancient Giant Beast that had destroyed countless ancient forces.

Yi Yun remained silent. The Nine Li Witch Kingdom was indeed a behemoth; the Danxin Sect could be destroyed with a flick of its wrist.

Of course, Yi Yun knew that this was because the Nine Li Witch Kingdom had high hopes for him and hoped that he could complete the Heaven-Defying Fate-Changing Pill. Yi Yun was also determined that no matter how difficult it was to complete the Heaven-Defying Fate-Changing Pill, he would do his best to complete the pill.

Looking at Yi Yun beside him, Danxin Old Ancestor was furious, but he was too afraid to even glare at Yi Yun, let alone curse him. The Nine Li Witch Kingdom was simply too terrifying; they would wipe out entire families at the drop of a hat. Did you dare to mess with them?

"Old man, you have the Purple Spirit Medicine Soil on you, don't you? I don't believe you wouldn't have the most important treasure of the Danxin Sect. If you have the Purple Spirit Medicine Soil, take it out. I can wager with you using the scriptures left by my master. Everyone here can be a witness. I swear on my Dao heart that I will accept the loss."

Yi Yun was determined to obtain the Purple Spirit Medicine Soil, as it was related to his cultivation of the Dragon Emperor Art.

As for the Medicine God's Classics, Yi Yun felt that he was not qualified to gamble with the Medicine God's relics, but he had confidence in the Medicine God's Medicine Nurturing Great Formation, which was by no means easy to complete.

Upon hearing Yi Yun's words, Danxin Old Ancestor fell silent.

He did indeed have fifty catties of Purple Spirit Medicine Soil on him. Although it was only a portion, Purple Spirit Medicine Soil was extremely precious. It was the foundation of the Danxin Sect's existence, which made him have to be cautious.

However, the allure of inheriting the Medicine God's legacy was too great. He didn't want to give it up. He knew that if he gave up this opportunity, he would never have a chance to inherit the Medicine God's legacy, because the Nine Li Witch Kingdom had said that if they dealt with Yi Yun, they would exterminate his entire family. Who would dare to take that risk?

"We swear an oath: fifty catties of Purple Spirit Medicine Soil in exchange for all the scriptures left behind by the Medicine God, and also the Medicine God Cauldron! The time limit is two hundred years! Whoever completes it first wins."

Yi Yun was taken aback when he heard the two-hundred-year time limit. That long?

Even with the addition of the Medicine God Cauldron by the Danxin Old Ancestor, there were only fifty catties of Purple Spirit Medicine Soil left. Yi Yun still nodded and said, "That's fine!"

In the eyes of Danxin Old Ancestor and others, two hundred years was already a very short time; for them to complete this formation, this time was just the beginning.

No one expected things to develop this way, with Yi Yun, a junior, making a bet with the patriarch of the Danxin Sect.

"This Yi Yun is utterly ignorant of his own limitations."

"If it weren't for the Nine Li Witch Kingdom, his challenge to the ancestor would be a joke."

The disciples of the Danxin Sect looked at Yi Yun as if he were an idiot. In their eyes, the patriarch of the Danxin Sect was a god-like being. In the field of alchemy, he had no rivals. The Danxin Old Ancestor became a Medicine Saint a million years ago and is the most senior and strongest Medicine Saint in the Tiannan Great World.

Even the other Medicine Ou Mingyin, was a descendant of the Danxin Old Ancestor.

Yi Yun was too lazy to waste words with the Danxin Sect people, so he turned to the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation and carefully studied the array patterns.

At this moment, the Danxin Sect Patriarch did not study the great formation. People saw that the Danxin Sect Patriarch had sealed off a space. He was meditating and breathing in the primordial Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in this space. There was also a Danxin Sect disciple who had placed a long table in this space. On the table was an ancient incense burner with a bundle of incense burning.

The Danxin Old Ancestor was quietly meditating in front of the incense burner, as if he were isolated from the whole world.

"It's the Spirit Soothing Incense, one stick is worth one or two million Mid-grade Spirit Jade. Lighting this bundle of twelve sticks means burning twenty million spirit jades!"

Many of the alchemists present were connoisseurs; they immediately recognized the incense burned by the patriarch of the Danxin Sect.

When top alchemists begin refining divine medicine, they follow a set ritual: burning incense, bathing, and washing their hands. Some even need to adjust their practices for a month before starting the alchemy process.

This is not just a formality, but a way to achieve the best mental state.

The step of burning incense is particularly important, as the incense used is a luxury item that can calm the mind and refresh the spirit.

Lighting just one stick of this incense can restore the health of ordinary people suffering from chronic illnesses and prolong their lives. However, its effects are greatly reduced for alchemists, and it is still very expensive. Among them, the Spirit Soothing Incense is the best.

For the Danxin Sect, burning 20 million spirit jades Spirit Soothing Incense in one go might not seem like much, but this was only once. This time, the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation would require one or two hundred years of comprehension, and they might have to continue burning it in the future. How many spirit jades would that consume?

"The Danxin Sect is indeed extraordinary; even a simple act of burning incense puts it to the test of many other forces."

Often, the details reveal the truth. The accumulation of a great sect can be seen not by the number of its experts, but by its daily life, including its clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

"Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood. A few days to calm the mind are insignificant compared to two hundred years. Senior Dugu's cultivation of temperament alone far surpasses that of other alchemists!"

An old man in black robes spoke up, flattering the Danxin Sect while glancing disdainfully at Yi Yun: "Unlike some people, who are as impatient as monkeys. They've barely arrived in the Nine Li Witch Kingdom, barely taken a few breaths, and they're already starting to comprehend things. What could they possibly comprehend?"

In the old man's view, such a profound Medicine Nurturing Great Formation is like water dripping on a stone; it requires a long time to comprehend, and being impatient will only backfire.

Yi Yun completely ignored these discussions, as he was now immersed in the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation, his mind completely focused...
