166: A divine eye? A blind man? (Fifty-one)

"Also, the only one in this world..."

Qing Yao's voice paused, carrying a natural sense of aloofness.

"The Azure Luan Sacred Body."

As soon as she finished speaking, the space around her rippled, and a green portal of light opened out of thin air.

Before You Chen could even react, he was wrapped in a massive force and thrown into the portal.

By the time he could see clearly again, he had arrived in a completely unfamiliar place.

The sky here was a pale green, and the air was filled with a pure and ancient Aura.

This was the ancient clan hidden deep within dimensional space, the Qing Clan.

Qing Yao led him to land before a giant, ancient, and solemn hall.

At the entrance of the hall, several old men in green robes were already waiting.

Their Aura was unfathomably deep as they scrutinized the brought-in You Chen.

"He is the inheritor?" one Elder spoke, his voice aged and powerful.

Qing Yao nodded. "The Bloodline resonance cannot be wrong."

You Chen was taken into the ancestral shrine of the ancient clan.

In the center of the shrine, a massive statue of an Azure Luan was enshrined, looking lifelike.

The Elders surrounded You Chen, chanting ancient incantations.

One by one, green runes flew out from them, weaving into a large net in the air that slowly descended over You Chen.

You Chen instinctively wanted to resist, but as the runic net fell, the power of the Azure Luan Legacy within his body was instantly triggered.

Green flames ignited on his body, reflecting against the runic net.

The eyes of the Azure Luan statue in the center of the ancestral shrine suddenly lit up with two beams of divine light, projecting onto You Chen.

"It's true!! It's the Legacy of Strength from the Venerable Lord!!"

"Ten thousand years of waiting, we have finally found it!!"

The Elders were beyond excited.

The leading Grand Elder stepped forward, his voice trembling slightly with excitement: "Child, what you have inherited is our clan's 'Legacy of Strength' that was lost from Venerable Qing Luan. And what our ancient clan has guarded for generations is the 'Legacy of Speed'. Now that you have returned, it is the will of heaven; the two must be fused to manifest the complete Azure Luan Legacy!"

They demanded that You Chen stay to complete the Legacy Fusion.

"Impossible!!"

You Chen refused flatly. He didn't even know if Jun Yun was dead or alive; how could he stay here in peace? His attitude was incredibly firm: "I don't care about any Sacred Body or Legacy! My friend is still outside waiting for me, let me out immediately!"

He even secretly circulated his power, prepared to fight to the death.

"Threatening us with the destruction of the Legacy? How naive."

Qing Yao's cold voice drifted over.

"Your companion won't die," she stated the facts indifferently. "He showed off his skills as a Pill God, and now he's being treated as an honored guest by the Heavenly Elixir Sect. They call him a Guest Elder, but he's actually under house arrest. Before the Medicinal Pills are refined, they won't dare touch him; they even have to protect him well."

Hearing this, You Chen's heart finally settled.

Big Brother Jun was still alive!

But following that was an even stronger sense of powerlessness and urgency.

He knew that with his current strength, even if he rushed to the Heavenly Elixir Sect, he would only be a burden and might even become a bargaining chip for them to blackmail Jun Yun.

The anxiety and anger in his eyes slowly transformed into an incomparable determination.

"Big Brother Jun, wait for me."

"When I truly become strong, that's when I'll come to take you back!"

He suddenly looked up at Qing Yao and the group of Elders, his voice hoarse but firm: "I accept the Legacy."

...Meanwhile, at the Heavenly Elixir Sect, Guest Greeting Hall.

Looking at Dan Yangzi's pleading appearance, Jun Yun did not agree immediately.

In his double pupils, the lines of Karma intertwined, having long since seen through the real thoughts beneath the other party's respectful exterior.

Calling it asking for help was actually exploitation. Calling him a Guest Elder was actually being a prisoner.

But he did not expose them.

"Refining the Divine Pill is possible."

Jun Yun spoke calmly, causing Dan Yangzi's tense nerves to relax slightly.

"But I have three conditions."

Jun Yun held up one finger, his expression very indifferent.

"First, I need all the divine herbs on this list."

With a casual wave, a golden list formed from Divine Thought drifted lightly in front of Dan Yangzi.

Dan Yangzi hurriedly and respectfully received it, probing it with his Divine Thought.

The next moment, his expression changed, and his breath hitched for a beat.

Long.

The list was too long.

More importantly, with his eyesight as a True God Realm half-step Pill God, he could tell at a glance that less than seventy percent of the herbs on the list were for refining the 'nine revolutions yang restoration divine pill'.

The remaining thirty percent, though also top-tier divine materials, seemed to have nothing to do with the main pill. This was practically trying to empty out half of the treasure vault that the Heavenly Elixir Sect had accumulated over ten thousand years.

"Lord... this... many of the medicinal ingredients in here seem unrelated to the nine revolutions yang restoration divine pill?" Dan Yangzi plucked up his courage and asked cautiously.

"Refining a Divine Pill is an act against heaven; it will inevitably trigger fluctuations in the Laws of heaven and earth."

Jun Yun's voice was flat, yet it carried an unquestionable majesty.

"The remaining ingredients are for setting up the 'Myriad Phenomena Origin Return Grand Formation'. This Formation can stabilize the space for Alchemy and isolate the secrets of heaven to prevent the Pill Tribulation from descending early. At the same time, it is to bring my state to its peak."

He glanced at Dan Yangzi and said indifferently: "In refining this kind of Divine Pill, any slight mistake will result in the destruction of the pill and the death of the person."

"If you are unwilling, then forget it."

Jun Yun made a move as if to take back the list.

Dan Yangzi's heart shuddered, and cold sweat immediately broke out.

A Pill God's actions surely had their reasons; how could he presume to guess?

If, because of his stinginess, the Alchemy failed and the Old Ancestor was lost, he would be the eternal sinner of the Heavenly Elixir Sect.

He no longer dared to doubt and hurriedly bowed, saying: "This old man understands! Rest assured, Lord, even if the Heavenly Elixir Sect has to empty its coffers, we will certainly prepare all the medicinal ingredients on the list for you!"

"Second." Jun Yun held up a second finger, "During the Alchemy period, the Heavenly Elixir Sect's Scripture Pavilion, especially the parts regarding ancient Pill Formulas and pharmacology, must be completely open to me."

"Third, during the Alchemy process, I require absolute autonomy. No one may disturb or spy on me in any way."

Dan Yangzi was pained to death, but to save the Old Ancestor, he could only grit his teeth and agree to everything.

The entire Heavenly Elixir Sect immediately swung into action.

The treasure vault was opened wide, and countless rare medicinal ingredients that were unseen in the outside world were transported out by Disciples trip after trip using spatial Magical Artifacts, piling up like a small mountain in the hall designated by Jun Yun.

Jun Yun appeared to be calmly inspecting the medicinal ingredients, but his double pupils had already seen through the entire internal Formation network of the Heavenly Elixir Sect, the reality of their defensive strength, and even the patterns of the patrolling Disciples' shift changes.

He was making final preparations for his future escape.

He knew very well that the moment the Medicinal Pill was completed would be his most dangerous time. The Heavenly Elixir Sect would not easily let go of a Pill God who could refine Divine Pills.

Everything was ready.

Jun Yun was personally led by Dan Yangzi to the most core Alchemy secret chamber of the Heavenly Elixir Sect—before the 'heaven and earth creation furnace'.

The secret chamber was located ten thousand fathoms deep beneath the main peak of the Heavenly Elixir Sect, carved out of a single block of meteoric iron from beyond the heavens.

The giant Pill Furnace in the center was three zhang tall, bronze in color, and had clearly been there for countless years.

"Lord, everything is prepared," Dan Yangzi said respectfully.

Jun Yun nodded slightly, his gaze landing on the Pill Furnace, and he waved his hand.

"You all may withdraw."

Dan Yangzi and the others did not dare to disobey; after bowing, they slowly exited the secret chamber.

Rumble.

The stone door slowly closed, isolating all internal and external Auras.

In the secret chamber, only Jun Yun remained, facing the giant Pill Furnace and the mountain of medicinal ingredients.

He did not start immediately.

He closed his eyes, and at the center of his brow, the phantom of the Nine-Colored Double Pupils flashed. His vast Divine Thought spread out, instantly covering all the medicinal ingredients.

In his perception, the medicinal properties, age, and the Law fragments contained within every divine herb were clearly revealed.

The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, Nine-Colored Divine Fire swirling within them.

He flicked his finger.

Boom!

A wisp of Nine-Colored Divine Fire emerged from his fingertip, growing as it met the air until it became a sea of fire, instantly enveloping the entire giant heaven and earth creation furnace.

The temperature in the secret chamber rose sharply, and space began to distort.

His expression remained unchanged as he gave a casual wave.

The first batch of over a hundred divine herbs soared into the sky, seemingly coming to life under the control of his Divine Thought.

Following a specific sequence and angle, they turned into streaks of brilliant light and plunged into the Nine-Colored Divine Fire of the Pill Furnace.

The refining of the Divine-Grade Medicinal Pill officially began at this moment.
