Chapter 363 Successfully Conquering the Treasure Hunt Assessment! The Entire Audience Kneels

Jiang Yun snapped back to reality from the shock of receiving the Medicine God's Legacy.

Deep within his Sea of Consciousness, that small furnace still floated quietly, remaining as dormant as before.

However, his mind was now filled with a massive amount of information.

The Medicine God's lifelong insights into the Dao of Alchemy.

Thirty thousand years of Alchemy experience.

Countless lost ancient Pill Formulas.

And profound understandings regarding medicinal ingredients, pill fires, and techniques.

Jiang Yun closed his eyes to feel it for a moment, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

Although he couldn't immediately become an Alchemist as Heaven-Defying as the Medicine God—

That would require countless instances of practice and accumulation—

He already possessed a foundation that ordinary people could never hope to reach.

It was like...

A newborn baby being instilled with the knowledge treasury of a Saint King Rank powerhouse.

He might not be able to exert that power for the time being, but he was already standing on the shoulders of a giant.

From now on, for most medicinal herbs and Heaven And Earth Treasures, he wouldn't even need to use his talent abilities to know their names, characteristics, and uses.

He even knew how to refine them into Medicinal Pills.

Consuming a Spirit Medicine directly certainly had a good effect.

But if it could be refined into a Medicinal Pill to complement other medicinal herbs, wouldn't the effect be enhanced by more than tenfold?

This was the value of an Alchemist.

And the current Jiang Yun already possessed the potential to become a top-tier Alchemist.

“Very good.”

Jiang Yun opened his eyes, a flash of satisfaction crossing them.

His gaze fell once again on the four display stands.

A golden Medicinal Pill.

A purple Spirit Medicine.

A crimson Ore.

A tattered beast hide.

Although each one was slightly inferior compared to the Medicine God's Legacy—

After all, the Legacy was the foundation, while these were merely external items—

Placed in the outside world, every single one of them was a supreme treasure capable of triggering a bloodbath!

A Saint King Rank Medicinal Pill could bring someone who had just died back to life.

A Saint King Rank Spirit Medicine could cause a familiar's cultivation to skyrocket.

A Saint King Rank Ore could be used to forge a Saint King Rank divine weapon.

A Saint King Rank Pill Formula recorded lost ancient secret techniques.

Obtaining any one of these things would be a massive Opportunity.

And Jiang Yun...

He wanted to take them all.

He stepped forward, walking toward the second display stand.

Behind him, everyone was still reeling from the shock of him obtaining the Medicine God's Legacy.

Lie Yunkong's face was complex, greed and wariness intertwining in his eyes.

Blood Lady's beautiful eyes flickered, her thoughts unknown.

Black Wind Old Demon had a gloomy face, his gaze shifting.

He Yuanming was so excited his face was flushed red, as if he were the one who had obtained the Legacy.

The team members were looking at Jiang Yun as if they were looking at a deity.

Then, they saw Jiang Yun move.

He was walking toward the second display stand.

“Master Jiang... what is he doing?!”

Someone cried out in surprise.

“He's going to continue?!”

“He's crazy, he's crazy! He just finished a trial where survival was one in ten, and now he's going for a second one?!”

“This... this is too intense!”

The entire place was in an uproar!

Lie Yunkong's pupils constricted.

“Master Jiang! You...”

Blood Lady covered her small mouth, her beautiful eyes full of shock.

“Little Brother, are you tired of living?!”

Black Wind Old Demon was also stunned.

He Yuanming cried out even louder.

“Master Jiang, you mustn't! That trial is too dangerous. You've just been through one, you should rest!”

Jiang Yun didn't look back, merely waving his hand.

“It’s fine.”

It's fine?!

Those two words left everyone dumbfounded.

They had all witnessed the Legacy trial just now.

The moment Jiang Yun collapsed, they all thought he was dead.

During that hour he lay motionless, who knew what he had experienced inside?

And now, he was casually saying it was fine?

And he wanted to continue?

“Just what kind of Prodigy is Master Jiang?!”

Someone murmured.

“It's terrifying... truly too terrifying...”

“One trial is a life-and-death gamble, and he's doing them back-to-back? Is he even human?”

“As expected of the person who could obtain the Medicine God's Legacy! Who can match this courage, this boldness?”

Praise, shock, and cries of disbelief rose and fell one after another.

Jiang Yun, however, turned a deaf ear.

His gaze fell upon the first display stand.

That golden Medicinal Pill.

The nine revolutions soul returning pill.

A Heaven-Defying divine medicine capable of bringing someone who had just died back to life.

It surely had the same effect on familiars.

Possessing this pill was equivalent to having an extra life.

Whether for himself or for his familiars, it was a priceless insurance.

But Jiang Yun didn't step forward immediately.

He recalled the data entries he had seen earlier.

【nine revolutions soul returning pill: Trial content—Must enter the Reincarnation Illusion with Mental Energy and experience nine cycles of Reincarnation without losing oneself. Consequences of failure: The Soul is eternally trapped in Reincarnation, and the Physical Body turns into withered bones.】

Nine cycles of Reincarnation...

What kind of Reincarnation would it be?

What would he experience?

Why would he permanently turn into withered bones?

Jiang Yun frowned slightly.

This trial was different from the others.

The other trials tested alchemical understanding, the power of the Five Elements, and endurance against Heavenly Fire.

He had ways to deal with those.

But nine cycles of Reincarnation...

That was a test on a spiritual level.

He would have to live through nine lives, nine cycles.

Perhaps in each one, he would have to experience birth, old age, sickness, death, joys, and sorrows.

He had to maintain his sense of self throughout the nine cycles and not lose his original heart.

If he got lost in them, his Soul would be forever trapped in Reincarnation, and his Physical Body in the outside world would turn into withered bones.

Jiang Yun fell silent for a few breaths.

This trial was too dangerous.

Moreover, he didn't know how much time it would consume.

If he were trapped inside for ten days or half a month...

He would miss the opening of the Molten Cavern.

The dragon blood bodhi was still waiting for him.

Jiang Yun shook his head.

He would put this one aside for now.

His gaze moved to the second display stand.

The nine-leaf purple lingzhi.

A Saint King Rank Spirit Medicine.

It could be used to refine pills for breaking through to the Saint King Rank, or it could be consumed directly to significantly boost cultivation.

【nine-leaf purple lingzhi: Trial content—Must enter the "Five Elements Purgatory Array" with Mental Energy and endure the alternating tempering of the Five Elements' power. Consequences of failure: Mental Energy is obliterated by the Five Elements' power, turning the person into an imbecile.】

For this trial, he could indeed have Fox Immortal help.

After all, she was an existence that possessed the Five Elements Origin laws.

To her, the power of the Five Elements was as simple as breathing or eating.

If he let her enter the trial...

Jiang Yun calculated in his heart; he could communicate with Fox Immortal later.

The third display stand.

heavenly fire profound iron.

A Saint King Rank rare Ore.

It could be used to forge Saint King Rank divine weapons.

【heavenly fire profound iron: Trial content—Must enter the Heavenly Fire Space with Mental Energy and endure the burning of Heavenly Fire without collapsing. Consequences of failure: The Soul is incinerated by Heavenly Fire, leaving no remains.】

Heavenly Fire...

Jiang Yun thought of Little Fire.

The Golden Scaled Fire Dragon Fish possessed the fire attribute.

Although it was currently only at Gold Rank Seventh Order, its Bloodline contained the power of the Dragon Clan.

If he let it try...

Jiang Yun shook his head.

Little Fire's Realm was too low; enduring Heavenly Fire would likely be dangerous.

He would put this one aside for now as well.

Finally, his gaze landed on the fourth display stand.

The Ancient Pill Formula Incomplete Manual.

It recorded three types of lost ancient Saint King Rank Pill Formulas.

【Ancient Pill Formula Incomplete Manual: Trial content—Must enter the Heart-Questioning Space with Mental Energy and answer three alchemical puzzles left by the Medicine God. Consequences of failure: Mental Energy backlash, Soul shatters.】

Alchemical puzzles.

The corners of Jiang Yun's mouth curled up slightly.

This was what he feared least.

In the Legacy trial just now, he had answered those three alchemical heart-questions with ease.

Because he had his talent to cheat.

Now, more alchemical puzzles?

Wasn't that just a freebie?

Moreover, this trial was a pure Mental Energy test; he didn't need to go through Reincarnation, endure the power of the Five Elements, or face Heavenly Fire.

It was relatively safe.

It shouldn't take long either.

Jiang Yun made his decision.

He stepped forward, walking toward the fourth display stand.

Behind him, everyone watched his every move intently.

“He's moving! He's moving!”

“It's the fourth one! That Incomplete Manual!”

“What is that Incomplete Manual? It looks all tattered and worn...”

“What do you know! Could something placed among these five supreme treasures be ordinary? It must be a Saint King Rank treasure!”

“Saint King Rank... heavens!”

“Master Jiang is trying to sweep up all the treasures!”

“Too ruthless! Too ruthless!”

The crowd cried out one after another.

Lie Yunkong and the other three stared fixedly at Jiang Yun.

In Lie Yunkong's eyes, the look of greed grew stronger and stronger.

But he suppressed it desperately.

He knew that the current Jiang Yun was no longer someone he could easily manipulate.

Jiang Yun, having obtained the Medicine God's Legacy, was too valuable.

So valuable that he didn't dare to act lightly.

Blood Lady's beautiful eyes flickered, her thoughts unknown.

Black Wind Old Demon had a gloomy face, his gaze shifting uncertainly.

He Yuanming, on the other hand, was full of worry but didn't dare to stop him.

As for the team members...

Some admired him, some were in awe, some were envious, and some were jealous.

There were even those whose eyes flashed with a hint of malice.

They hoped Jiang Yun would fail.

They hoped Jiang Yun would die inside.

That way, the Medicine God's Legacy on Jiang Yun would become ownerless.

They might be able to get a share of the spoils.

Jiang Yun noticed those gazes but didn't bother to pay them any mind.

He walked up to the fourth display stand.

He took a deep breath.

Mental Energy was released with a boom!

His Diamond Rank Mental Energy, like a sharp sword, pierced toward that tattered beast hide!

In the next moment.

His vision went black.

The world spun.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar space.

It was a Pill Refining Room.

The room wasn't large, about ten zhang in radius.

The surrounding walls were built of blue stone, covered in profound runes.

Those runes glowed faintly, clearly maintaining the stability of this space.

In the center of the room stood a massive Pill Furnace.

The Pill Furnace was pitch black and three zhang high.

On the surface of the furnace, nine lifelike fire dragons were carved.

The eyes of the fire dragons were inlaid with red gems, which shimmered under the light of the furnace fire as if they had come to life.

At the bottom of the furnace, a fire blazed.

That fire was no ordinary fire.

It was green.

With a faint hint of purple.

Jiang Yun recognized that kind of fire through the Medicine God's Legacy memories!

Heavenly Fire.

Beside the Pill Furnace were rows of wooden shelves.

The shelves were filled with all kinds of medicinal herbs and Heaven And Earth Treasures.

With a single glance, Jiang Yun recognized dozens of them.

Ten-thousand-year Blood Ginseng.

Nine-Leaf Spirit Reishi.

Dragon Saliva Fruit.

Phoenix Grass.

Mystic Ice Flower.

...

Every single plant would fetch an astronomical price in the outside world.

Yet here, they were placed casually on the wooden shelves like Common cabbage.

Jiang Yun clicked his tongue slightly.

How wealthy must this Medicine God have been back then?

Just then.

A familiar voice rang out.

Aged, gentle, and with a hint of playfulness.

“Little fellow, we meet again so soon.”

Jiang Yun turned around.

As expected, it was Medicine Dust Son.

The grey-robed old man appeared beside the Pill Furnace at some unknown time.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Jiang Yun with eyes full of smiles.

“Senior.”

Jiang Yun cupped his fists in greeting.

Medicine Dust Son nodded.

“Not bad. You just got my Legacy and immediately came to challenge the other treasures. I like this Heart-Nature of yours.”

He pointed to the surrounding medicinal herbs.

“These were all rarities I collected back then. Although they can't compare to the things on those five display stands, they are still rare treasures.”

“If you can pass the trial, all of these will belong to you.”

Jiang Yun's eyes lit up.

All of them would belong to him?

That would be a massive fortune!

Wait?

Jiang Yun was very confused.

“Isn't this a spiritual space? Are these treasures before me real?”

Medicine Dust Son looked at Jiang Yun's confused expression and smiled.

“They are naturally real. These medicines and Heaven And Earth Treasures all have physical counterparts; they simply don't exist within this spiritual space. If you obtain these three Pill Formula scrolls, you will gain my storage treasure, which contains various types of medicinal herbs. Consider it a meeting gift from me.”

“However, that's only if you can pass the trial.”

He paused, his expression becoming solemn.

“The Ancient Pill Formula Incomplete Manual records three types of lost Saint King Rank Pill Formulas. Each of these three formulas has a Heaven-Defying effect.”

“But to obtain them, you must first answer the three alchemical puzzles I left behind.”

He looked at Jiang Yun.

“Little fellow, are you ready?”

Jiang Yun took a deep breath.

“I'm ready.”

Medicine Dust Son nodded.

He waved his hand.

In the next moment.

The eyes of the nine fire dragons on the Pill Furnace lit up simultaneously!

Nine red beams shot out from the dragons' eyes, condensing into three light orbs in front of Jiang Yun.

Red, gold, and purple.

The three-colored lights were exactly the same as during the previous Legacy trial.

Medicine Dust Son's voice rang out.

“Since you have entered the arena, let the trial begin!”
