In midair, the Zither String went crazy. Its energy was enough to devour the mountains and rivers.
Its prowess was truly like a God himself had descended and was undefeatable.
However, Duan Shan He's hammer hit it and it became obedient.
Though he was merely a remnant of a soul and at most, he was equivalent to a fifth leveled cultivator. No matter what, he was still a real immortal!
His aura was the aura of a Sky Immortal. Not to mention a supreme weapon, even a supreme being would feel fear when facing him.
This had nothing to do with cultivation, it was a suppression of the soul.
Therefore, the Zither String became obedient. Whether it was its Qi or its music, they all disappeared.
"Let Ling Xian merge with it. If you dare to act presumptuously again, I will turn you into dust."
Duan Shan He laughed mockingly and used his Qi to suppress the Zither String. It didn't even dare to move.
Though it had no intelligence, it still had its own spirituality. After all, it was a God's Qi.
Therefore, it was scared by the suppression of its soul and didn't dare to act presumptuously anymore.
"Thank you for helping me."
Ling Xian smiled, feeling lucky that he met these immortals.
Then, he wiped off his smile and began the merging.
The Zither of the Crouching Dragon was his natural talent and he could perfectly control it. Therefore, he controlled the Zither String to merge with the Zither.
Of course, the Zither String didn't want to.
However, under the suppression of a real immortal, no matter how unwilling it was, it didn't dare to resist.
Therefore, the two slowly merged. However, after a quarter of the process, it exploded.
The terrifying shockwave rolled out and shook Ling Xian until his face turned white and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.
What could he do? The Zither String was far too powerful. Though it was suppressed by the immortal's Qi, its own power was still there. It was not something he could defend against.
"I failed after all …"
Ling Xian softly sighed. He wasn't surprised.
However, any fusion was not a simple matter, let alone the fusion of Divine Ability and Magic Treasure. If the Zither of the Crouching Dragon wasn't half a treasure and it wasn't a technique he could perfectly control, there was no way he could merge.
"It's okay. Before success, one has to experience failure."
Fa Wu Liang smiled warmly, "Persistence is the only way."
"I understand."
Ling Xian nodded with a smile. Then, he focused and merged again.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the Zither of the Crouching Dragon and the strings of the Zun Being melded. Though it looked peaceful, in reality, they were like fire and water.
Therefore, after absorbing less than a third of it, it exploded again.
Ling Xian was hit by the shockwave and puked out a mouthful of blood.
If not for his strong physical body and solid foundation, he would have been severely injured and on the verge of death.
"Even though it was a failure, it was still better than the last time. That's good." Fa Wu Liang consoled.
"Not bad."
Liao Cang Qiong gently said, "This is extremely difficult. It is not something that can be done in one or two tries."
"I know, so I won't give up."
Ling Xian's gaze turned determined as he tried again.
In the end, he still failed.
The violent impact caused his bones to shift and he spat out blood.
However, not only was Ling Xian not depressed, he was rather happy.
It was all because he had fused with a third, not close, but a true third.
This meant that it was feasible. As long as he persevered, he would definitely succeed!
Therefore, Ling Xian smiled. The other immortals smiled as well.
"That's right. Based on the current situation, I will succeed sooner or later."
"When that happens, the Zither of the Crouching Dragon will break through its limitations and become an unparalleled technique."
"That's right. This can be considered to be the first of its kind."
The other immortals all chimed in and didn't hide their compliments towards Ling Xian at all.
"An unparalleled technique …"
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up and his eyes shone with anticipation.
Sadly, his body did not allow him to continue. At least not in a short period of time.
Three times in a row had already heavily injured him. If he continues, he will only damage his foundation.
Therefore, Ling Xian had to give up.
He placed the zither into his storage pouch and said, "I will try again after I recover."
"There is no rush. This is not something that can be done in a day." The Ancestor of Technique smiled warmly, "If you have any questions, you can come find me."
Then, he left in a flash.
The other immortals did the same.
However, before he left, Liao Cang Qiong and Duan Shan He both gave Ling Xian a meaningful look.
This gave Ling Xian a headache. He knew that these two were reminding him not to forget his mission.
"Alchemy, alchemy, and crafts … what a headache."
Ling Xian bitterly smiled and left the Painting of the Nine Immortals.
Then, he sat down in a lotus position and began to heal.
Time passed by silently.
After 10 days, Ling Xian had fully recovered and planned on trying again.
However, just as he took out the zither, someone knocked on his door.
"Come in."
Ling Xian frowned and placed the zither back into his storage pouch.
"Master." The lady bowed.
"Elder Mo, there is no need to be so polite."
Ling Xian helped her up, "Do you need something from me?"
"I have a piece of news that I think you might be interested in." The lady smiled warmly.
"Tell me about it." Ling Xian grinned.
"Rumor has it that the ancestor's inheritance is about to appear." The lady wiped off her smile.
"The ancestor's inheritance?!" Ling Xian's pupils constricted and he stood up.
Who was the ancestor of alchemy?
Any living being would answer with one word: legendary!
In the entire history of alchemy, out of all the great figures, he was an immortal legend!
Without him, alchemy wouldn't exist in this world. Even the Immortal of Alchemy, Liao Cang Qiong, cannot compare to him in alchemy.
Though the Immortal of Alchemy may not be weaker than him, he was the one who created alchemy and was the undeniable ancestor!
Therefore, Ling Xian's heart skipped a beat and he asked in a low voice, "Is this news true?"
"I cannot be certain, but there is a 70% chance it is."
"Since the ancient times, there has been a legend that the ancestor of alchemy was buried on Planet Bei Dou."
"However, after so many years, nobody has found the grave. Even if they did, it was proven to be fake."
"But this time, there is a high chance that it is real."
The lady's expression was serious and her tone was powerful.
"70% chance … it is worth investigating."
Ling Xian squinted and made a decision.
The ancestor's inheritance was not to be underestimated. Though he already had the Immortal of Alchemy's inheritance, he didn't think Liao Cang Qiong's knowledge was any weaker than the ancestor's. However, he was still curious.
After all, he was the Pioneer of alchemy. Out of all the great figures, he was worthy of the title "Startling". Who doesn't want to see his inheritance?
Even if one wasn't an alchemist, they wouldn't be able to resist this temptation. Plus, Ling Xian was an alchemist.
Therefore, he wanted to go and see.
"This news has stirred up the entire Planet Bei Dou. Rumor has it that even the Immortal Clans have sent out their people." The lady exclaimed.
"This is normal. It is the ancestor's inheritance, who doesn't want it?"
"If we get it, we might be able to create another ancestor. Even if we can't, we can at least become an alchemist."
Ling Xian frowned, feeling troubled.
If even the Immortal Clans were alarmed, then it wasn't hard to imagine how difficult it would be to acquire the ancestor's inheritance.
