Chapter 2722 - 2711: A Quantum Leap

As Ye Chenfeng continued to ponder.

The voice of the Ancestor of Medicine sounded again: "Close your eyes and carefully feel inside your body. Only by finding this fiery energy can you be qualified to reach the pinnacle of alchemy."

Once these words were spoken.

The Ancestor of Medicine fell silent, concentrating on his endless alchemy, brewing an endless array of elixir pills.

The Ancestor of Medicine before him was but a projected image, so Ye Chenfeng couldn’t converse with him at all.

He silently watched the Ancestor of Medicine perform alchemy, feeling how the Ancestor of Medicine summoned the fiery energy from within his body.

After a moment.

Ye Chenfeng slowly closed his eyes and began to sense carefully, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t find that fiery energy in himself.

As time slowly passed, Ye Chenfeng was still at a loss. He opened his eyes again and saw the Ancestor of Medicine still tirelessly refining various elixirs, without relying on a medicine cauldron or the Heaven and Earth Flame. His alchemy process was still like flowing water.

He again carefully observed how the Ancestor of Medicine mobilized the fiery energy within his body.

Yet he still had no clue in his mind and couldn’t perceive where exactly this fiery energy of the Ancestor of Medicine came from.

Ye Chenfeng knew that his consciousness was now within the space inside the iron block. He must obtain the inheritance of the Ancestor of Medicine and leave here as soon as possible.

Outside, only Lin Yurou, Lin Anhao, and Skyhawk were guarding, and Skyhawk’s injuries hadn’t healed yet! Those other powerful beings who also entered the tomb might arrive at any moment, and relying on Lin Yurou and the others would surely be inadequate. Most importantly, his real body was motionless, leaving him vulnerable to being butchered by others!

If Old Bai and Old Hei reached here first, it would be fine. But what if others arrived before them?

Although he couldn’t derive any clues from the Ancestor of Medicine, Ye Chenfeng couldn’t afford to delay any longer. He closed his eyes once more, determined to quickly find that fiery energy within himself, knowing it was the primary condition for obtaining the Ancestor of Medicine’s inheritance.

Recalling every word the Ancestor of Medicine said, he couldn’t help but mutter one of his lines: "Imagine yourself as a medicine cauldron, imagine yourself as a flame."

Repeating incessantly to himself.

Inside, he suddenly came to a realization: "Use energy as the flame, use the body as the cauldron!"

One must be fully immersed in alchemy, seeing oneself as the tool for refining.

With this epiphany, Ye Chenfeng gradually fell into an incredibly profound state.

He could distinctly feel many different energies in his body, as every cultivator possesses various energies within, usually mixed together.

If a person lost their energy, it meant death.

With closed eyes, Ye Chenfeng felt one type of energy after another inside himself, yet he still couldn’t find that fiery energy he needed.

Gradually.

His brow furrowed sharply, feeling a fiery pain throughout his body, a sensation that arrived too suddenly and intensely.

Upon feeling this, a wave of joy surged inside him, knowing he had found the energy he sought. As he sensed carefully, moments later, he murmured, "Found you!"

He found that fiery energy within himself. However, when he attempted to mobilize it, the pain in his body multiplied. It felt like being cast into a furnace, his meridians feeling as if they were tearing and burning.

Yet, if he didn’t mobilize this energy, everything would be in vain.

Enduring the excruciating pain in his body, Ye Chenfeng gritted his teeth and maneuvered the fiery energy.

As he operated this fiery energy.

Outside, Lin Yurou, Lin Anhao, and Skyhawk remained steadfastly by Ye Chenfeng’s side.

At that moment, they all noticed Ye Chenfeng’s skin turning red and smoke rising from his body. They could clearly feel the fire within him.

"What is happening? How could he emit such heat? If this continues, even with his Middle Stage Divine Emperor Realm cultivation, he certainly won’t endure it." Lin Anhao frowned.

Skyhawk said, "Stay calm. The master’s consciousness is within the iron block, and we can’t help him. We can only wait patiently, not knowing what danger he faces in there."

Lin Yurou bit her lip in silence.

Meanwhile, inside the inner space, Ye Chenfeng suddenly let out a hoarse roar.

"Sizzle!" A faint sound of flame tearing through the air was heard.

Immediately.

The painful expression on Ye Chenfeng’s face slowly faded, and his right hand opened. The sound came from this hand.

Now, inside his right hand seemed empty, but a swirling gas of extremely high temperature was present.

He had successfully drawn out the fiery energy within himself.

This fiery energy grew in power with a cultivator’s progress, so naturally, the energy Ye Chenfeng drew from himself was immensely potent.

He sensed the invisible fiery energy in his palm and found he could control it freely. This control was even more adept than manipulating the Green Flame, greatly enhancing the success rate of refining elixirs with this energy.

It could be said that this fiery energy alone allowed Ye Chenfeng’s alchemy skills a qualitative leap.

After Ye Chenfeng mobilized the fiery energy within his body.

The Ancestor of Medicine, who was tirelessly refining, finally paused. Without giving Ye Chenfeng a chance to react, he transformed into a stream of light and entered Ye Chenfeng’s head.

As the Ancestor of Medicine turned into a stream of light entering Ye Chenfeng’s head, countless pieces of information exploded in his mind.

All of this information was about alchemy.

Ye Chenfeng, after merely a glance, felt extremely delighted. It included many alchemy formulas uniquely developed by the Ancestor, which had never been passed down. Among them were several Supreme Elixirs Ye Chenfeng had never heard of, let alone measure their potency, far surpassing current Supreme Elixirs.

The sheer volume of information exploding in his brain was overwhelming, impossible to process all at once.
