Chapter 1272 1231: Yee Hua Pill King

Seeing that Chen Fei remained so calm even after hearing such 'fantastic news,' Jiang Wanli's face darkened.

He shot a cold glance at Chen Fei and said, "Hmph! Acting all calm... Alright then, don't you just want to know what's inside the palace? I'll tell you right now, why not!?"

"Inside that palace, lies the inheritance of Yee Hua Pill King!"

"Yee Hua Pill King!?" Upon hearing this, some people looked confused, while the faces of the older generation or those knowledgeable changed drastically, their expressions completely transformed. Yee Hua Pill King was a legendary figure from the Supreme Heavenly Position level—a dominant force.

Moreover, the most notable aspect of Yee Hua Pill King wasn't his Cultivation Realm at the level of the Ancient King of Supreme Heavenly Position, but rather his other identities—Alchemist! Array Master!

Back then, Yee Hua Pill King's skills in the Alchemy Dao were extraordinary, even to the point where big figures from the Triple Emperor Domain personally visited their Qiannan Ancient Kingdom, making heavy promises and offering various priceless rewards to lure him, all in vain.

As such, Yee Hua Pill King was revered as the first Pill King in the history of their Qiannan Ancient Kingdom, his accomplishments allowing him to attain the pinnacle of creation! His status and achievements in the Alchemist Circle were unrivaled.

Meanwhile, he was also a profound Formation Master! Corresponding to the True Monarch Realm, an Earth Level Formation Master, there were only six layers, and some said Yee Hua Pill King was a Fifth Layer of Earth Formation Alchemist, while others said he was Sixth Layer.

Such achievements, just thinking about them would make one fearful.

This was a formidable figure who left a heavy mark in history, whose name was remembered for generations.

"Yee Hua Pill King? I understand now, so your target is him." Chen Fei realized, unsurprised that Jiang Wanli knew something ahead of time.

Inheritance from the top Alchemist in the history of Qiannan Ancient Kingdom!

For any Alchemist, it was a deadly temptation... Of course, Chen Fei was an exception.

"Yes, that is indeed my target. For it, I've given up all the treasures and inheritances outside. Do you think it's worth it?"

Jiang Wanli sneered, looking mockingly at Chen Fei, amused, "Also, are you curious why these Pill Beasts don't attack me, but would attack all of you? Do you believe that if you take just one more step forward now, they'll rise up and tear you to pieces!?"

Saying this, Jiang Wanli burst into laughter! Haha, hahaha... Such a spotlight moment, with only him capable of enjoying it, was indeed immensely satisfying!

After laughing, he glanced askance at those eager but hesitant people, sneering mockingly.

"Furthermore, I'll kindly remind you, this Inheritance Palace of Yee Hua Pill King is only accessible to Alchemists, so don't waste your efforts..."

"The reason these terrifying creatures won't attack me is simply because of my status as an Alchemist, hahaha, haha... Everyone, sorry, I'll go inside first to accept the Yee Hua Pill King's inheritance, and as for you... how about seeing other places?"

Jiang Wanli wore a face of arrogance and delight, pitying the crowd, then no longer hesitating, he took a deep breath and turned to step into the palace.

"Hehe." Just then, a laugh, carrying some oddity, suddenly softly echoed in everyone's ears.

"Why are you laughing!?"

Jiang Wanli's expression froze, darkened, as he looked at Chen Fei, his tone hostile and cold.

"Didn't you just say if I take one more step forward, those things would tear me to pieces? Unfortunately, I'm quite curious, so I want to try..."

Saying this, under Jiang Wanli's eyes that suddenly changed, Chen Fei laughed, raised his foot, and walked forward. Meanwhile, everyone's eyes widened slightly, and the ten statues in front of the palace lifted their heads, coldly focusing on Chen Fei.

Even so, Chen Fei's expression didn't change, he just lightly snapped his fingers, and a strange ripple spread out, making the Pill in the statue's eyes tremble, then they all lowered their heads again, no longer paying attention to Chen Fei.

Immediately, everyone erupted into chaos.

"How, how did... Damn, what's going on!?"

"Why aren't those statues attacking him?"

"Didn't Jiang Wanli just say, if he's an Alchemist, the statues won't attack him? That guy must be an Alchemist!"

...

Amidst the chaotic discussions, Jiang Wanli's face turned ashen as he looked at Chen Fei, feeling as if he had swallowed a dead rat—extremely uncomfortable. That Chen Fei was also an Alchemist, and seemed quite accomplished, was beyond his expectations.

"An Alchemist, huh?"

With a playful, mocking tone, Chen Fei smiled at the grim-faced Jiang Wanli, and said, "Oh, unfortunate, forgot to tell you, I'm an Alchemist too~ So, does it surprise you? Do you find it thrilling?"

Whoosh!

Everyone suddenly looked up, and then saw Chen Fei, following his slightly sarcastic and teasing words, transformed into a bolt of lightning heading toward the deep, silent palace.

Meanwhile, he was actually a bit surprised too, not expecting such a chance in this tomb. If the Tribulation Lightning Pill Refining seen in the Flood Dragon Pill Beast's eyes outside was really refined by this so-called 'Yee Hua Pill King,' then this person's inheritance might be worth exploring.

Moreover, the Heavenly Stem Dragon Bamboo is still waiting for him at the mountaintop! That is something he is determined to obtain.

And just as Chen Fei finished speaking and dashed out, everyone was caught off guard, including Jianng Wanli. But as he reacted a moment later, his face immediately turned extremely grim, chaotic, and ferocious.

Clearly, he couldn't have imagined that his previous words would lead to such a twist!

Because he had almost determined that without the 'basic' level of a King Level Alchemist, it was practically impossible to gain the recognition from the ten Pill Beasts outside the palace. In other words, only King Level Alchemists had the qualification to safely enter from outside!

And he had already 'ascertained'! Besides him, there shouldn't be a second King Level Alchemist present, otherwise, how could he not recognize and be oblivious to the alchemical fluctuations?

However, regardless of how certain he was before, now the brutal reality was right in front of him!

Chen Fei is actually an Alchemist!

And he's also a King Level Alchemist, just like him, Jianng Wanli!?

"You little beast!" Jianng Wanli's eyes almost instantly turned bloodshot in front of everyone, and then his countenance became immensely ferocious.

However, Jianng Wanli hadn't reached today's level from being overcome by anger and panic. He stomped hard on the ground beneath him and charged into the palace, his speed as swift as lightning! The airflow surrounding him was tinged with a touch of blood…

Thus, Jianng Wanli and Chen Fei almost simultaneously dashed into the palace, leaving those outside staring in bewilderment at each other, unsure of what to do.

"Let's go. This place requires the identity of an alchemist, which we aren't…"

Soon, those who had persisted until now left with bitter expressions. If there were other requirements, they might have tried to figure out a way to meet them if they knew them beforehand, but how could they pretend to be alchemists?

There's really no way, is there!

The person in the black robe who had been following Jianng Wanli took a deep look at the ten Pill Beast statues before finally shaking his head and turning away. He could feel that even he wasn't a match for the weakest of the ten statues…

Since he couldn't break in by force, lingering here seemed meaningless. Moreover, since this was once the relic of the mighty Celestial Demon Sect, there might be many treasures hidden within, so it wasn't worth giving up an entire forest just for a tree.

That's not worth it.

"What about us? What should we do now… wait here or leave!?"

Outside the Green Mountain Peak, only Li Pangbo, Duan Shishan, and the people from Qi Family Fort remained. Li Pangbo couldn't help but ask.

Qi Xuchong's order to them was to guard Chen Fei and assist him, ensuring that Chen Fei definitely seized the Heavenly Stem Dragon Bamboo. But now, with the sudden change, Chen Fei and Jianng Wanli both entered the Inheritance Palace!

Moreover, it seems like only alchemists can enter that place, and anyone not an alchemist cannot get in…

In that case, can they really all stay here and wait for Chen Fei to come out?

After all, this is the relic of the Heavenly Origin Sect. Any treasure, inheritance, classic text, or cultivation manual from the Heavenly Origin Sect is a priceless treasure to them! No one can resist the temptation.

"Let's go. We've done all we can, and now it's up to his luck." Finally, Duan Shishan hesitated for a moment but decided to lead his people away. The relics of the Heavenly Origin Sect, upon learning of this, truly agitated his heart.

...

"Roar!"

"The Pill Association of Pill Saint City held every hundred years, what a grand event!"

"I can actually witness the birth of the top ten of the Pill Association, it's a fulfillment of my life!"

"Indeed! The top ten of each Pill Association will surely become figures of the Grandmaster of Pill Path in the Triple Emperor Domain in the future… They are all future Grandmasters, Pill Sovereigns!"

...

At the same time, as Chen Fei crossed the threshold of the Inheritance Palace, he suddenly felt the view ahead and everything around him begin to distort and transform rapidly. The ensuing deafening cheers, the grandiose square that was astonishingly vast, with dense seas of people stretching to the limits of sight! All of this made Chen Fei's pupils shrink, his expression drastically changing.

At this moment, he stood at the very center of this tumultuous venue, roaring like a giant dragon!

This central area housed ten elevated cloud platforms, each with an indistinct figure standing atop, unclear of their faces yet exuding remarkable presence, attracting all attention… he was one of these ten.

"Art of Illusory God, huh? It seems that Yee Hua Pill King is truly extraordinary… His formation cultivation level has reached such a degree!?"

Chen Fei squinted slightly, his eyes filled with amazement as he muttered. The Art of Illusory God, only those who reach the pinnacle of the Sixth Layer of Great Formation Master can even begin to grasp its essence. And the vivid scene before him was like a real world, far from mere beginnings, so simple!?

"Damn it, what is this place!?" At this moment, an anxious curse sounded from another high platform beside him, and Chen Fei squinted as he looked over… it was Jianng Wanli. Unsurprisingly, he had also entered.
