Chapter 75

As one of the Nine Great Heavenly Books, the Body Book is a supreme treasure of a world that pertains not only to the physical body.

Lin Xuan’s black hair danced wildly as a terrifying suction force erupted within him, crazily absorbing everything around him.

At that moment, Lin Xuan felt the strength of his body increase by about ten to twenty percent, and the storage of his true essence also improved.

Although the enhancement in strength wasn’t as significant as he had imagined, it was enough to bring Lin Xuan joy.

This was good news; the power of the Twelve Immortal Bodies could stack together. If the Twelve Immortal Bodies were to be unleashed…

No, even if it was just the Twelve Sacred Bodies or a Divine Body, he was absolutely confident he could tear apart the strongest of the Ascended Realm!

Moreover…

The Ten Thousand Fire Immortal Body represented the supreme Immortal Body of fire, and an Immortal Body that could devour naturally implied the ability to devour everything!

Lin Xuan could feel that the speed at which he transformed true essence had increased several times. Don’t underestimate this increase; it meant that in the future, whether refining pills or utilizing rare treasures, he could save several times the amount of time!

What Lin Xuan lacked most at present was time. Given time and resources, reaching the pinnacle would only be a matter of time.

Just when Lin Xuan thought he had reached his limit, he suddenly felt a refreshing sensation wash over him from head to toe.

“What is this feeling…”

Lin Xuan closed his eyes, and at that moment, he could see everything around him clearly!

He could even capture the tiniest particles of dust in the air!

“This must be the power of the soul, the legendary Soul Realm?”

Lin Xuan murmured. Although the inheritance from the Pill Emperor did not include soul secret arts, it did mention the realm of the soul.

The realms of the soul are divided into Mortal Realm, Soul Realm, Holy Realm, Emperor Realm, and the supreme Immortal Realm!

To refine sixth-grade pills, the most crucial point is to have a soul at the Soul Realm. Lin Xuan had only reached the peak of the Mortal Realm before, which led to the unverifiable background he had to fabricate.

Now… that was no longer necessary!

He himself was the background!

The soul of the Soul Realm was not only significant for alchemy; those who reached sixth-grade alchemists, which required a soul above the Soul Realm, could also cultivate soul-type techniques. He was no longer weak; this type of soul attack was unpredictable, and even martial artists far stronger than an alchemist could fall if they were careless.

It was just a pity that the Pill Emperor’s alchemy inheritance did not record any soul secret arts, which made Lin Xuan feel somewhat frustrated.

Real alchemy inheritance!

“No, it’s not just that…”

Lin Xuan felt memories suddenly manifest in his mind, presenting themselves like a passing parade.

These belonged to the life of the first ancestor of the Su family.

The first ancestor of the Su family… was not a native of the Dayan Dynasty; he came from a sect called the Corpse Puppet Sect in Canglan Prefecture. Later, the Corpse Puppet Sect was destroyed, and he wandered to the Dayan Dynasty.

After that, he grew step by step in the Dayan Dynasty, becoming a renowned fifth-grade alchemist, but unfortunately, his aptitude was limited, and he could never break through to the Soul Palace realm in his lifetime.

Later, he fused alchemy and corpse puppet techniques to create the Corpse Puppet Pill, seeking an alternative form of immortality in hopes of breaking through.

“He was indeed a remarkable figure, able to create a fifth-grade pill, though he strayed down the wrong path.”

Lin Xuan shook his head. On the path of martial arts, one must forge ahead. If one falters, they have already lost their heart for martial arts. Even if the ancestor of the Su family had a soul that broke through to the Soul Realm, he would still be unable to transcend the Soul Palace realm!

However, the counterattack of the first ancestor of the Su family before his death served as a warning to Lin Xuan: one must never underestimate others. If Lin Xuan had been replaced by someone else, they might have already fallen into despair.

Lin Yan did not count…

With the death of the first ancestor of the Su family, they no longer had the strength to resist.

Another peak figure from the Su family in the Soul Realm was soon killed by the joint efforts of the Hundred Battle King and the Golden Armored King, blood spilling into the air.

The guardian beast of the Su family was powerful, but it was no match for the combined might of the Ten Thousand Treasures King and the Hundred Flames King, not to mention the four high-level members of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Association.

Many strong figures who came to support the Su family were also killed by the joint forces of the Dayan Academy’s Dean Ji Xuan Wang and Li Qiudao.

The screams on the ground gradually diminished until they were completely extinguished!

All sounds in the surroundings faded away.

The major forces that were secretly watching the commotion from afar felt a chill in their hearts; the thousand-year-old family of alchemists, the Su family, had just… vanished!

What transpired today would certainly resonate throughout the world!

And all of this was orchestrated by a sixteen-year-old youth, merely due to a fabricated accusation!

This battle truly exemplified the influence of a top-tier alchemist!

[Beep! Task of the Path of Death completed. Reward: one intermediate invincible inheritance lottery draw.]

……

The Hundred Battle King, the Ten Thousand Treasures King, the Golden Armored King, Ji Xuan Wang, and the Hundred Flames King looked at the white-clothed youth before them with awe. The youth appeared somewhat detached from worldly matters, like an immortal being who had long resided in the heavens, indifferent to earthly affairs.

However, no one dared to underestimate the white-clothed youth before them; the demise of the thousand-year-old Su family stemmed from this very boy.

Moreover, the terrifying fluctuations they had just felt, although they did not know what had occurred, the unsettling aura still lingered underground, refusing to dissipate.

The strength of the youth before them was enough to stand on equal footing with them!

Lin Xuan looked at everyone and slightly cupped his hands, speaking, “Thank you, seniors, for your assistance. I only wish to take some cultivation materials from the Su family’s thousand-year heritage; the remaining formulas and cultivation methods may be divided among you seniors.”

The accumulated formulas and cultivation methods of the Su family’s thousand-year heritage held little value for Lin Xuan, but for other forces, the worth was far greater than mere cultivation resources!

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces lit up with joy as they repeatedly bowed excitedly, saying, “Thank you, Young Master Lin!”

The Hundred Battle King stepped forward and respectfully asked, “Young Master Lin, is there anything we need to prepare for alchemy?”

It wasn’t that the Hundred Battle King was anxious; he estimated that after this battle, he would lose another ten years of lifespan. With little time left, if he did not break through soon, he would be facing his grave!

After pondering for a moment, Lin Xuan replied, “All you seniors need to do is prepare a set of corresponding medicinal materials. Within a month, gather the materials, and I will personally refine a corresponding pill.”

As for why it was just one pill…

He would save on the alchemy fees, but he only promised to refine one pill; any other pills refined from the same materials would belong to him.

After all, it was unreasonable to expect him to do it for free.

“What!” The Hundred Battle King, who had been anxious, suddenly felt a wave of happiness: “Young Master Lin only needs one set of materials?”

“?”

Lin Xuan felt a bit confused; shouldn’t this make him seem like a shady businessman? Why did these people seem like they had gotten a great deal?

However, it was only later that Li Qiudao softly informed him that typically, when asking an alchemist to refine pills, two or three sets of materials needed to be prepared for each pill, and Lin Xuan then understood just how lucrative the alchemist profession could be!
