"I hereby announce that the test has officially ended!"
As if afraid that Shen Tian would continue to attack, the Lotus Thearch hurriedly announced the end of the third round of the test.
Only then did Shen Tian reluctantly insert the Executing Heaven Sword back into his lungs.
Sigh, I just took it out. Why is it over already!?
I feel that I did not enjoy it to my heart's content ~
...
The Lotus Thearch's eyes were filled with emotions as he looked at Shen Tian and Shi Linglong.
He had made a huge profit from opening the tomb this time!
Although the process was a little "bumpy", he was still very satisfied with the final result.
He did not expect to encounter such a talented successor on the first opening of the tomb after 100,000 years of silence.
Both Shen Tian and Shi Linglong were very suitable for alchemy!
Princess Linglong's aptitude was already extremely top-notch.
Coupled with her extraordinary comprehension, she had learned a total of 49 alchemy techniques in just three days.
She had even obtained the Lotus Thearch's true legacy in the final battle test.
As such, she could be considered half a successor of the Lotus Thearch.
As for Shen Tian, there was no need to mention him. He was a complete monster.
Even though the Lotus Thearch was at the peak of the five regions and had seen countless prodigies, he had never seen someone with such terrifying talent.
It made even the Thearch doubt his life!
"Since you have passed the test left behind by me, you can obtain my legacy.
"I hope that you can focus on cultivating and bring my legacy to greater heights, contributing to the world."
Before the Lotus Thearch ascended, he had saved the world and was magnanimous.
Even though he had already ascended, he did not want his legacy to fall into obscurity.
"I will definitely bring Senior's alchemy skills to greater heights and save the world. I will not let Senior down!"
Shen Tian and Shi Linglong cupped their hands and said solemnly.
They were all filled with admiration for the number one Alchemy Thearch from 100,000 years ago.
There were very few people who could stay true to themselves in chaotic times!
It was even rarer to save the world in chaotic times.
Senior Lotus Thearch was worthy of respect!
"I am very pleased that you have such a temperament."
The Lotus Thearch nodded with a benevolent expression and began to announce the rewards they had received.
"Shi Linglong has obtained a relatively high evaluation in the three tests. She can obtain half of my imperial sutra and a top-notch Sage herb."
The Lotus Thearch flicked his sleeve, and a green light entered Shi Linglong's body.
One had to admit that the Azure Thearch was quite generous.
These inheritances included two classics, the Lotus Thearch's Hundred Herb Scripture and the Lotus Thearch's Mysterious Pill Scripture.
The "Lotus Thearch's Hundred Herb Sutra" contained detailed information on almost all the rare herbs in the five regions, including their form, medicinal properties, suitable environment, cultivation methods, and other information.
According to the information recorded on it, not only would he be able to cultivate top-notch spirit herbs and treasured herbs with twice the results with half the effort, he would also be able to cultivate them.
Even in many secret realms?
The probability of finding a top-grade Panacea would also be greatly increased.
The Azure Thearch Mystic Elixir Sutra not only recorded the Azure Thearch's entire life's elixir refining experience, but it also contained the secret method of using elixir refining to improve one's cultivation level.
Was this not just an alchemy technique?
It was also a cultivation technique that was not weaker than any imperial sutra!
Did he feel the memory of the inheritance appear in his mind?
Shi Linglong was shocked.
"Thank you, Senior Azure Thearch."
As the Empress Concubine of the Central Continent Empire, how could Shi Linglong not know what these two inheritances meant?
Why could the Azure Thearch become the number one Alchemy Emperor?
They were closely related to these two alchemy imperial sutras.
Now, she had just obtained the first half of these two inheritances?
It was already enough to excite Shi Linglong.
In time?
If she could comprehend the two halves of the alchemy imperial sutra, her alchemy skills would be enough to reach the peak.
Just half of the alchemy imperial sutra was enough to create a supreme alchemy cultivator.
This was the terror of the top alchemy Thearch!
Not to mention the rewards given by the Azure Thearch?
It even contained a top-notch Sage herb.
A beam of light descended from the sky?
It carried an extremely strong vitality, as if it could revive all living things.
Spirit Qi surged?
It made the entire world seem like it was in a sea of Spirit Qi.
The light slowly descended?
It floated in Shi Linglong's hand, revealing its true appearance.
Is that a lotus seed?
Its entire body was golden as if it was made of gold?
It exuded an extremely strong vitality.
Surging vitality lingered around the lotus seed?
It outlined the avatar of many green lotuses and was extremely mystical?
It was obvious that it was a top-notch Sage herb.
"This lotus seed was nurtured by a twelfth-grade green lotus. Its effects are equivalent to a Sage herb.
"You can also plant it and nurture it carefully. You might be able to grow a new green lotus."
The Lotus Thearch slowly explained the origin of the golden lotus seed.
Shi Linglong nodded and carefully put away the lotus seed.
Top-notch Sage herbs were extremely precious and were not inferior to Sage artifacts.
If it were to be spread to the outside world, it would cause a commotion in the five regions. Even Sages would be tempted.
The moment the green lotus seed entered her hand, an incomparably rich Spirit Qi immediately surged into her body, causing her to emit a divine glow.
It was as if she would become an immortal as long as she consumed this lotus seed.
However, Shi Linglong knew that only by refining it into a pill could she maximize its effects.
Thus, Shi Linglong suppressed the impulse in her heart and put away the lotus seed.
The Lotus Thearch nodded slightly upon seeing this.
If she could not even resist the temptation of a Sage herb, how could she talk about reaching the peak of alchemy?
Then, the Lotus Thearch turned to look at Shen Tian.
However, Shen Tian looked at the green lotus seed indifferently. There was not the slightest hint of temptation or covetousness in his eyes.
This also made the Lotus Thearch's evaluation of Shen Tian secretly improve.
A Sage herb that even Sages would be tempted by was placed in front of him, but he was able to remain unmoved.
Just this temperament alone was enough to move people.
The Lotus Thearch did not know that Shen Tian had a basket of such Sage herbs in his pocket.
Well, it did not seem appropriate to use a basket.
It should be a basket after a basket, which was usually eaten as fruits after meals.
If it was not for the fact that he felt sick of eating too much, Shen Tian would not have such a pressing need for alchemy.
After all, if he wanted to change the texture, the ingredients would be more delicious.
It was basically impossible to count on Shen Tian to show a covetous expression when he saw the green lotus seed.
After all, would he drool over the radishes in his vegetable field?
It was just home-cooked food!
...
Of course, the Lotus Thearch did not know how rich Shen Tian was.
He took a deep breath and slowly said to Shen Tian, "Little friend, your talent is peerless.
"Little friend, your talent is peerless, even above that little girl Ling Long."
"In the past ten thousand years, the number of people with your talent can be counted on one hand.
"Of course, you are only slightly inferior to me when I was young."
The Lotus Thearch's face turned red, but he quickly covered it up.
"Little friend, you have obtained extremely high ratings in all three tests and can obtain all of my inheritance and treasures."
At this point, the Lotus Thearch could not help but be amazed.
Although he was still stubborn, the Lotus Thearch had long been convinced by Shen Tian in his heart.
Be it physique, talent, or battle prowess...
Shen Tian had completely exceeded the Lotus Thearch's imagination.
Therefore, the Lotus Thearch decided to teach Shen Tian everything he knew.
He felt that Shen Tian's future was limitless, and he might be able to walk an unprecedented path!
If that was the case, it would be a good thing to pass his inheritance to Shen Tian.
Perhaps ten thousand years later, the Celestial World of the five regions would be able to pass on his alchemy skills!
At that thought, the Lotus Thearch raised his hand, and another green light entered Shen Tian's body.
It was also the Lotus Thearch's alchemy sutra, but the inheritance that Shen Tian had received was the complete Lotus Thearch's Hundred Herb Sutra and Lotus Thearch's Mystic Pill Sutra.
Compared to the inheritance that Princess Linglong had received, Shen Tian's was more complete and more precious.
Although it was only the second half, its value was on a completely different level compared to the incomplete first half.
After all, the difference between a complete imperial sutra and an incomplete imperial sutra was huge, and it could even be more than ten times.
After feeling the memories in his mind, Shen Tian's eyes flickered.
In an instant, he already understood the meaning of these two alchemy imperial sutras.
These two alchemy imperial sutras complemented each other. The former could create countless supreme-grade treasures.
The latter could be used with these treasures to refine pills, allowing the medicinal effects to be unleashed to the fullest.
If it were to be spread to the sects, it would probably not take long for the sacred grounds' strength to increase greatly!
It had to be said that these things were really useful to him.
With these alchemy imperial sutras, Shen Tian could better strengthen his leek farm... the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
Imagine, if the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground obtained these alchemy imperial sutras, they could plant Sage herbs and develop the alchemy industry.
At that time, the endless supply of pills could greatly increase the strength of the sect's disciples.
When the disciples' strength increased, they could also go out to search for resources and hand them over to the sect in exchange for pills to be used to support the sacred ground.
Everything was interlinked, forming a complete ecological chain.
It would definitely greatly increase the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's strength, far surpassing the other sacred grounds!
Then, Shen Tian could also use this opportunity to start his leek harvesting plan.
After all, it was better to fatten up the leeks before harvesting them.
...
"Thank you, Senior Lotus Thearch!"
Shen Tian cupped his hands. The Lotus Thearch's inheritance was indeed a good thing to him.
"My inheritance is far more than this."
Seeing that Shen Tian had accepted the inheritance, the Lotus Thearch was also very gratified.
"This is my Lotus Token. It can be used to control Penglai Island's array formation."
The Lotus Thearch took out a green token and handed it to Shen Tian.
"Senior Lotus Thearch, this Lotus Token..."
Shen Tian scratched his head. This Lotus Token didn't seem to be of much use. He didn't collect stamps anyway.
Now, Penglai Island seemed to be in dire straits. Even its spirit veins had been forcefully taken away. Its Spirit Qi had dried up, and it was in a state of desolation.
As if sensing Shen Tian's thoughts, the Lotus Thearch raised his white beard. "Kid, don't underestimate Penglai Island!
"Before I ascended, I left behind a shocking Soul-refining Array on Penglai Island.
"At that time, Penglai Island was at its peak. Even Thearchs didn't dare to step foot on it easily."
At this point, the Lotus Thearch's face was filled with pride.
Although he was the number one alchemy Thearch 100,000 years ago, this did not mean that the Lotus Thearch's battle prowess was weak.
On the contrary, the Lotus Thearch's strongest battle prowess was in setting up array formations.
If one wanted to refine pills, they had to use various alchemy techniques to outline different array formations and melt them into the pills.
Only then could the medicinal properties be stimulated to the extreme.
Therefore, not only was the Lotus Thearch the number one alchemy Thearch, but he was also an array formation expert.
"Senior Lotus Thearch, why did Penglai Island fall to such a state?"
According to the Lotus Thearch, Penglai Island used to have a shocking array formation. Ordinary people wouldn't dare to invade it.
When he entered Penglai Island previously, he had indeed seen traces of the array formation. However, it was broken and didn't have any power.
However, what exactly caused Penglai Island's array formation to shatter?
The Lotus Thearch blushed slightly and said, "It was just an accident!
If I hadn't left to take charge of Penglai Island back then, how could I... "
At this point, the Lotus Thearch's eyes couldn't help but palpitate.
It was obvious that Penglai Island had experienced a shocking battle. Even the array formation set up by the Lotus Thearch had been shattered.
"Alright, alright. Let's not talk about the past."
The Lotus Thearch said calmly, "Although Penglai Island is broken, the tomb is still intact.
"If you encounter an existence that you can't defeat in the future, you can come to my tomb to temporarily hide.
"Even ordinary Thearchs won't be able to forcefully break through this place."
The Lotus Thearch's tomb was the Lotus Thearch's proudest work.
It was located hundreds of thousands of feet deep in the sea and hadn't been discovered for 100,000 years. It was definitely breathtaking.
Shen Tian nodded slightly and stroked the Lotus Token in his hand. His mind was filled with thoughts.
Even though Penglai Island was already abandoned, it was still a celestial island.
Since it was an island, he should properly develop its use.
The outside world has rumors that Penglai Island is a paradise. If I modify this place and do some advertising, wouldn't it attract many people?
Wouldn't many people flock to this place with beaches, coconuts, yachts, and bikinis?
At that time, I will develop tourism and sell some pills and miraculous medicines.
Wouldn't I make a lot of money? Just thinking about it makes me happy!
Good idea, let's do that!
Also, I will develop Immortal Abode Island in this way.
In that case, I will be the Island Master of two islands!
Double the number of islands means double the happiness!
Awesome!
...
"I used these two items to fan the fire and refine pills. I'll give them to you now."
The Lotus Thearch took out two more items. They were a cauldron and a fan.
However, they were not ordinary cauldron and fan.
The cauldron was completely green, and it was engraved with various divine patterns. It was full of vitality.
It was as if there was life flowing within the divine patterns. It was very magical.
The other fan was incomparably huge. It was gilded and shaped like a banana leaf.
It was also engraved with divine patterns of the Great Dao and emitted an incomparably fierce aura. The surrounding void distorted!
These were the two pseudo-Thearch artifacts that the Lotus Thearch had left in the five regions when he ascended, the Lotus Thearch Cauldron and the Banana Fan.
The Lotus Thearch Cauldron — Ever since the Lotus Thearch was born, it had accompanied him in battle for many years. It had refined countless miraculous pills and medicines, and it had even absorbed the essence of thousands of spirits, allowing this cauldron to give birth to the aura of life.
If one used this cauldron to refine pills, the success rate would be greatly increased, and it could even increase the effects of the pills!
This was a supreme alchemy treasure!
The other Banana Fan was also extraordinary. It was forged by the Lotus Thearch after he went to the Kunlun Mystic Realm with his supreme cultivation and plucked natural treasures.
This treasure was the Essence Leaf of Extreme Yin and possessed great divine might.
He did not expect the Lotus Thearch to take out these two pseudo-Thearch artifacts. It was really a pleasant surprise.
Shen Tian did not see these things in Shi Linglong's fortuitous opportunity image previously.
"Kid, I still have one more thing that I need you to complete."
The Lotus Thearch stepped forward again and stared at Shen Tian with a hint of hope in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Shen Tian finally understood why the Lotus Thearch was so generous.
Not only did he give him the Lotus Token, but he also gave him two pseudo-Thearch artifacts.
So it turns out that you have something to ask of me and are giving me gifts!
"Senior, please speak. I will definitely do my best."
Since he had received so many benefits, Shen Tian was too embarrassed to refuse.
Moreover, the Lotus Thearch had always been benevolent and concerned about the world.
He probably would not make any dangerous requests for him to take the risk.
"I also have a Thearch herb here."
After the Lotus Thearch finished speaking, he took out a 12th Stage Lotus from his sleeve.
That lotus was similar to the Lotus Thearch's avatar previously, and it contained a surging aura.
Endless multicolored light lingered on the lotus as if it was a supreme treasure born from chaos.
With the appearance of the 12th Stage Lotus, the entire tomb was filled with a strong vitality. It was full of divinity and refreshed one's mind.
Azure light soared into the sky and covered the earth, immersing heaven and earth in endless light.
As expected of a Thearch herb, just the avatar it displayed was extremely shocking!
Even Shen Tian was a little dazed at this moment.
After all, he really did not have such a grade of medicine in his collection.
Yes, I want to eat it ~
...
The Lotus Thearch looked at the 12th Stage Lotus in his hand and could not help but sigh.
"Back then, I wanted to use this 12th Stage Lotus to refine a supreme pill — the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill!
"However, the refining requirements for the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill are extremely difficult. It can only be refined with a supreme divine flame that is tainted with chaotic aura.
"Back then, I did not hesitate to head to the Chaotic Star Island domain and tried to refine a wisp of chaotic aura.
"However, I still failed in the end. This is my lifetime regret.
"Kid, your physique is extremely special. It can even contain chaotic aura.
"Therefore, I hope that one day, you can refine the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill."
At this point, the Lotus Thearch's sigh became heavier and heavier.
How could the forbidden chaotic aura be so easily controlled?
Back then, when the Lotus Thearch refined it with his supreme cultivation, he was almost severely injured by the chaotic aura's backlash.
For tens of thousands of years, he had not been able to get over it.
However, although Shen Tian's appearance gave the Lotus Thearch a glimmer of hope, he did not dare to hold too much hope.
Containing chaotic aura and refining chaotic aura were completely different concepts.
The difference was like the difference between heaven and earth.
The Lotus Thearch only hoped that Shen Tian could refine the chaotic aura one day and refine the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.
After all, Shen Tian's physique was so abnormal. Perhaps he could create a miracle?
This could also be considered as fulfilling his lifelong wish.
Little did he know that when Shen Tian heard the Lotus Thearch's words, his expression instantly became strange.
Why would he need to wait for such a simple matter in the future?
"Senior Lotus Thearch, I am confident that I can refine the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill now."
Shen Tian was full of confidence, but the Lotus Thearch's face was full of doubt.
"Kid, don't show off. Refining chaotic aura is not a joke.
"Although your physique is special and can contain chaotic aura, don't refine it easily.
"Otherwise, once you suffer a backlash from the chaotic aura, even your physical body might be crippled!"
Before the Lotus Thearch could finish speaking, Shen Tian slowly stretched out his hand, and a silver-white light swirled around it.
The light was hazy and looked ordinary, but it emitted a shocking aura.
That light was obviously chaotic aura.
"How is this possible... How can this kid control chaotic aura!?"
Even though the Lotus Thearch's mental state was extremely stable, he could not help but be shocked when he saw the chaotic aura.
It couldn't be helped. It was simply too frightening.
...
Since ancient times, no one had ever heard of anyone being able to control chaotic aura. There were no relevant records even in ancient books.
The Lotus Thearch had also guessed from the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill that perhaps in the distant ancient times, there had been even more powerful existences who had successfully refined chaotic aura.
If not for that, there would definitely not have been such a pill recipe left behind.
However, it was only a guess without any basis.
But now, Shen Tian could perfectly control the chaotic aura, not letting any of it leak out.
This made the Lotus Thearch extremely shocked, but at the same time, a strong sense of anticipation rose in his heart.
If Shen Tian could really control chaotic aura, coupled with the three powerful Exceptional Flames in his body...
Didn't that mean that he really had a chance to refine that peerless pill?
My lifelong wish is going to be witnessed with my own eyes?
