Alchemist's Legacy

Most Eighth-Rank Alchemists only possessed Spirit Realm Souls and could not even touch the threshold of a Heaven Realm Soul.

In Yi Huang's understanding, experts with Heaven Realm Perfection souls were almost nonexistent. Even Medicine Venerable, the continent's foremost Grandmaster Alchemist, might not possess such powerful Soul Strength.

One had to know that Medicine Venerable's title was no empty boast. Strictly speaking, he was already a Ninth-Rank Profound Pill Grandmaster Alchemist, though his success rate was not particularly high.

Perhaps only some old monster from the Pill Tower, along with the foremost experts of those absurdly powerful Ancient Races, could possibly possess such a soul.

Even the so-called Pill Tower Three Giants did not have such a high soul realm. They merely possessed ordinary Heaven Realm Souls.

And that was precisely why she felt like crying. A guy who had cultivated for less than a hundred and fifty years, and was not even an Alchemist himself, had somehow reached Heaven Realm Perfection in his soul.

Life was always so unexpectedly cruel.

At the same time, she grew even more curious about Xiao Han's current cultivation, while also becoming somewhat afraid.

Sure enough, Xiao Han gave an answer that made her heart ache terribly.

"Six Star Early Stage Dou Sheng, I suppose. Oh, I should reach the middle stage after a while."

She was tired. Let the world be destroyed.

Yi Huang and Ye Jianxin immediately became utterly detached. Was this really a realm that mortals like them were allowed to know about?

Even the Soul Hall Master did not have such cultivation, okay?

If the Soul Hall were not backed by the Soul Clan, then with your cultivation, you could have flattened the Soul Hall on your own!

Everyone had originally been small fry Dou Zuns, but now you had become a Middle Stage Dou Sheng big shot.

After a long silence, Yi Huang spoke. "Hey, are you going to abandon me?"

"Why would I abandon you? If you and Old Ye hadn't been busy helping manage Langya Pavilion, you'd both be at least Peak Dou Zuns, perhaps even Half-Saints by now!"

Xiao Han asked in confusion.

"Ultimately, this is all my fault. Don't worry, I told you I'd give you a surprise. Did you forget?"

Then he laughed heartily.

Xiao Han was not merely trying to comfort them. Just as Yi Huang and the others understood him, he also understood them.

Although Yi Huang and Ye Jianxin's talent could not compare to his own, they were still far more gifted than ordinary people.

Before Xiao Han had been trapped, both of them had already been around Two or Three Star Dou Zuns. They were also both very young, and their potential remained immense.

Yi Huang had even been a Seventh-Rank High-Level Alchemist, and had now broken through to the Eighth Rank.

Yet after a hundred years, their cultivation had only risen by a few stars. They had simply been dragged down by the endless affairs of the sect.

For that very reason, Xiao Han wanted to find a way to improve them. As the Soul Hall plan unfolded in the future, if their cultivation was insufficient, Xiao Han would find it difficult to guarantee their safety.

Fortunately, there were still at least twenty years left. With the secret realm's help and his own gains, it would be enough to raise both of them to Dou Sheng.

"What surprise?" Ye Jianxin asked eagerly.

Seeing Xiao Han's cultivation leave him so far behind that he could not even see the taillights, it was impossible for him not to be anxious.

Since Xiao Han called it a surprise, it had to at least be an opportunity to become a Saint.

Xiao Han smiled faintly, took out a ball of light, and handed it to Yi Huang.

"Huang'er, this secret realm was left behind by a Half-Step Ninth-Rank Golden Pill Alchemist whose strength had reached High-level Dou Sheng.

"It contains not only his inheritance in alchemy, but also his experiences in cultivation breakthroughs. I added mine as well.

"With this, along with the resources in the secret realm, it should help you advance a long way on both the path of alchemy and cultivation."

Feeling the inheritance information that had appeared in her mind, Yi Huang was overjoyed. A confident smile appeared on her face.

"Within fifteen years, I'll reach Eighth-Rank Peak. Ninth Rank is within reach, and becoming a Dou Sheng is guaranteed!"

"That's good. Afterward, begin secluded cultivation in the secret realm. Leave the sect's affairs to someone else," Xiao Han said, finally relieved.

"And you." Seeing the smug grin on his brother's face, Xiao Han could not help getting irritated.

"Half-Saint and Dou Sheng breakthrough experience, the Heaven Rank Low-Level cultivation method, the Windflower Sword Canon, along with its matching Dou Techniques, and these pills. Take them and hurry up with your breakthrough."

"Fuck, are Alchemists really this rich?" Pills were one thing, since Alchemists lacked nothing less than those.

But Heaven Rank Cultivation Methods, even with matching Dou Techniques? Probably only the Ancient Races could possess such things.

Even Ye Jianxin was currently cultivating only an Earth Rank Advanced cultivation method, and none of his Dou Techniques were Heaven Rank.

His eyes gleamed as he stared at the ball of light before him, like a lust-starved pervert who had just seen a peerless naked beauty utterly incapable of resisting.

"Thank you!" But he quickly put away that expression and solemnly thanked Xiao Han.

Just as Ye Jianxin was about to leave, Yi Huang stopped him. "Wait!"

"What is it?" Xiao Han and the other man looked at her in confusion.

A trace of helplessness flashed through her eyes as she looked at Xiao Han. "Did you not even look through these inheritances? Is your head filled with nothing but treasures?"

Xiao Han smiled awkwardly. "Don't I have you? Is there a problem?"

Yi Huang waved her hand. "Forget it. I knew I couldn't rely on you."

Then she looked seriously at Xiao Han. "Did you obtain several Bodhi Seeds in the secret realm? Give them to me."

"Oh, sure." Xiao Han immediately took out the Bodhi Seeds and handed them to Yi Huang.

"Is there a problem?" Xiao Han asked doubtfully.

"No problem. Luckily, these three Bodhi Seeds are still here. If you'd lost them, I would never let you off," she said with a helpless sigh.

"Do you know how important these Bodhi Seeds are?"

"I do. Can't they be used to refine Bodhi Pills? I originally planned to ask Medicine Venerable or one of the Pill Tower's elders to refine them for me.

"Since Medicine Venerable has disappeared, I can only turn to those old monsters in the Little Pill Tower."

"That's why I said you never read the inheritance's contents at all!" Yi Huang was completely helpless. How had she fallen for such a fool?

"Does the inheritance contain the Bodhi Pill formula?" Xiao Han brightened up.

"Yes." Before Xiao Han could celebrate, she immediately stepped on his foot.

"Can you let me finish speaking?" Then she glanced at Ye Jianxin, who was enjoying the spectacle. "And you too."

"Yes!"

Xiao Han and Ye Jianxin stood side by side. "Please instruct us, Boss Yi Huang."

"You should know that an ordinary Bodhi Pill can only raise the chance of successfully advancing to Half-Saint by twenty percent."

"Right!"

"But this senior Alchemist was truly remarkable. He improved the Bodhi Pill formula and created another new pill..."

As she spoke, Yi Huang felt a surge of admiration for that senior Alchemist.

Within the inheritance, Yi Huang had seen that senior's brilliant life, including his regrettable end.

Although the Alchemist who left behind the secret realm had been a Half-Step Ninth-Rank Golden Pill Alchemist, he had actually already been capable of refining Tier 9 Golden Cores.

However, because his cultivation had been built entirely through pills, his Combat power was weak, and he had been completely unable to deal with the Nine Profound Golden Lightning.

Not only had he suffered severe injuries, but his Golden Core had also been destroyed in that moment. In the end, he could only leave behind his inheritance in regret, waiting for an outstanding younger Alchemist.

Who could have expected him to encounter a bug like Xiao Han?

That senior likely believed that aside from the few peak experts in this world, only Alchemists could reach Heaven Realm Perfection in their souls.

But peak experts could not enter at all, while only Alchemists could rapidly improve their Soul Strength.

Yet he had encountered a cultivation genius like Xiao Han. Through pill-popping and the Soul Strength that rose incidentally from cultivating Dou Qi, Xiao Han had forcibly met the trial's requirements.

Thinking of this, Yi Huang was grateful to Xiao Han for giving her the inheritance, but she was still so annoyed.
