Battle Through the Heavens: Exceptional Comprehension, Becomes Emperor at Ten Years Old

Chapter 246 The Remnant Soul of the Medicine Emperor, Refining Pills with His Own Body!

Yao Dan stared intently at the point of light before him, sensing the terrifying fluctuations within it.

"I heard you opened the ancient Tuoshe Emperor's cave. Could it be that this Emperor-grade embryonic pill is what you found inside the cave?" Yaodan asked Jiahe.

Jiahe nodded slightly and said, "That's right. However, it takes some steps to completely refine this Emperor-grade embryonic pill into an Emperor-grade pill. I have been refining it for several months, but I have not made any progress."

"I've heard that the Medicine Clan's alchemy skills are unparalleled in the world, so I've come to learn from them!"

Hearing Jiahe's words, Yaodan frowned slightly, then shook his head and said, "We're afraid we can't help you with this. Even I am only a Xuan Dan Grandmaster, unable to refine even a Golden Core, let alone a nascent Emperor-grade Core!"

Jiahe said calmly, "The Medicine Clan is indeed somewhat dilapidated now, but I know that the Medicine Clan can summon the remnant soul of the Medicine Emperor. I would like to sit down and discuss the Dao with the remnant soul of the Medicine Emperor!"

Yao Dan said in a deep voice, "My clan can indeed summon the remnant soul of the Medicine Emperor, but I cannot do so."

"The remnant soul of the Medicine Emperor is a means left by our ancestors to protect our Medicine Clan. I absolutely cannot summon the remnant soul of the Medicine Emperor like this."

Jiahe looked at Yaodan and said, "I'm afraid Clan Chief Yaodan is unaware of the appearance of extraterrestrial demons in the Desolate Ancient Domain?"

"The power of this extraterrestrial evil race is far greater than that of the Soul Race. This is not only my concern, but also the concern of the Medicine Clan. The principle that 'when the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken' is something the Medicine Clan Chief surely understands!"

"Moreover, if the Medicine Clan truly faces extinction and needs to summon the remnant soul of the Medicine Emperor, how disappointed the Medicine Emperor would be with the current dilapidated Medicine Clan?"

Upon hearing Jiahe's words, Yao Wanhuo, Yao Tian, ​​and Yao Ling, who were standing behind Yao Dan, immediately blushed and looked at Jiahe, saying, "Are you insulting my Yao clan?"

Jiahe said calmly, "Am I wrong? What kind of demeanor did the Medicine Emperor possess? He became emperor by refining medicine, and his descendants naturally have an affinity for spiritual herbs in their blood. Your Medicine Clan has already gained an advantage in the art of medicine refining."

"But now, even looking at the entire continent, does your Medicine Clan dare to say that no one can compare to you?"

"Besides being stuck in your ways, what else can your Medicine Clan do? Deceive yourselves?" Jiahe said indifferently, looking at Yaodan and the others.

Yao Wanhuo suddenly unleashed a powerful aura, angrily declaring, "We know our own limitations regarding the Yao Clan; we don't need you to tell us!"

Jiahe sneered, "Truly hopeless. But today, I must see the remnant soul of the Medicine Emperor. If peaceful means fail, then I'll have to resort to force!"

After saying that, a terrifying aura of a nine-star Dou Sheng suddenly erupted, instantly suppressing Yao Wanhuo's aura.

Even the leader, Yao Dan, suddenly changed his expression and said in a solemn voice, "The eight clans have long agreed that they shall not attack each other. Are you going to break the rules?"

Jiahe glanced indifferently at Yaodan and said, "I am not a member of the Eight Clans. This treaty is useless against me. Don't test my patience. I can destroy the Soul Clan, and I can destroy your Medicine Clan just as easily!"

Yao Dan shuddered, his gaze somewhat dejected, then waved his hand and said, "Fine, fine, I'll let you see our ancestor then."

Jiahe's eyes were cold, and he gently channeled a surge of battle qi into his palm, drawing back the Emperor-grade embryonic core.

Yao Wanhuo, who was behind him, was about to say something, but Yao Dan stopped him: "If you can withstand a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, then go; otherwise, don't gamble with the entire Yao Clan!"

Yao Wanhuo managed to hold back in the end, but Yao Tian and Yao Ling's faces were full of humiliation!

Is it humiliating? When you have no power, this is the only way you can express your anger and dissatisfaction!

Before long, Jiahe followed Yaodan outside the main hall.

Medicine Mountain is the most important area for the Medicine Clan. It is where the entire Medicine Clan keeps its collection of countless spiritual herbs and elixirs.

The elders of the Medicine Clan cultivate high-grade spiritual herbs here, and pills of grade seven and above refined by the elders of past generations are also stored here.

Yao Dan brought Jia He here. Looking at the medicine mountain, Yao Dan slowly said, "I only have one chance to summon the Ancestor. If you really want to refine the Emperor-grade embryonic pill, you'd better seize this opportunity!"

Gah nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry."

Without further ado, Yao Dan moved and arrived above the medicine mountain, unleashing a terrifying energy from his body.

"Dan Qi!" Yao Dan shouted softly, and countless beams of light shot out from the Medicine Mountain.

Beneath those beams of light lay countless pills, their terrifying quantity and excellent quality filling the entire medicinal realm with a rich fragrance.

Such a terrifying quantity of pills is probably the collection of all the medicine clans, and the grade of these pills all exceeds the seventh rank.

Array patterns appeared on the mountain of medicine. As the pills flowed into the array patterns, the array suddenly burst out with a dazzling light.

The anomaly here attracted the attention of the entire Medicine Clan, and the elders of the Medicine Clan all flew towards Medicine Mountain.

Yao Dan formed hand seals and shouted in a deep voice, "All pills transform into the heavens! In the name of the pills, the progenitor returns to his position!"

As the voice faded, the pills were melted by the array patterns, transforming into a vast energy that emitted a deep, rumbling sound.

A vortex began to appear in the center of the great formation, and endless energy surged into the vortex, which then continued to expand.

An extremely ancient aura emanated from the vortex, and the illusory figure of an old man dressed in coarse linen clothes appeared before everyone.

When the entire Medicine Clan saw this aged figure, tears welled up in their eyes, and they all knelt down, saying, "Greetings, Ancestor!"

Countless figures knelt outside the Medicine Mountain, even the Medicine Emperor looked at him with reverence.

"The aura of the Medicine Emperor's remnant soul is not much different from that of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe!" Jiahe thought to himself.

The Medicine Emperor glanced around, a hint of bewilderment in his eyes, then slowly said, "Has the Medicine Clan fallen so low?"

One sentence immediately shamed countless members of the Medicine Clan.

"Ancestor, I have summoned you back today because I have a request!" Yao Dan said, looking at the remnant soul of the Medicine Emperor.

The Medicine Emperor looked at the medicinal pills, and finally his gaze fell on Jiahe. His eyes lit up immediately: "Such a rich fragrance of the pills! Has my Medicine Clan actually given birth to such a genius?"

Yao Dan's expression was slightly embarrassed. He hadn't expected that the Ancestor would take a liking to an alchemist who wasn't from the Medicine Clan at first glance.

"Ancestor, he is not a member of our Medicine Clan!" Yao Dan said, forcing himself to speak.

The Medicine Emperor's expression suddenly darkened, and he murmured, "Isn't he one of my own?"

Then the Medicine Emperor smiled faintly and said, "Enough, enough. Having such talent in alchemy is the fortune of all cultivators on the continent, so there's no need to confine it to my clan!"

"Tell me, what brings you to summon this remnant soul of mine?" the remnant soul of the Medicine Emperor asked the Medicine Pill.

Yao Dan said, "Actually, he has a request!"

Jiahe stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Junior Jiahe pays respects to Senior Medicine Emperor!"

The Medicine Emperor smiled gently and said, "No need for formalities, please speak!"

Jiahe nodded slightly, then took out the Emperor-grade embryonic pill.

When the remnant soul of the Medicine Emperor saw this Emperor-grade embryonic pill, his expression changed slightly.

"This, this is a nascent Emperor-grade pill? Did you refine it?" The Medicine Emperor asked, somewhat surprised, looking at Jiahe.

Jiahe shook his head and said, "No, this was refined by another Dou Di senior. The continent is now in danger of destruction, and future generations will have no more Origin Qi to advance to the Dou Di realm. I need this Emperor-grade embryonic pill to break through to the Dou Di realm!"

"However, despite using all my strength, I have been unable to refine this fledgling Emperor-grade pill completely. Therefore, I humbly request your guidance, senior!"

Upon hearing Jiahe's words, the Medicine Emperor nodded and then said, "I see. In that case, it makes sense!"

Upon hearing this, Jiahe immediately perked up and respectfully said, "Please enlighten me, senior!"

The Medicine Emperor looked at Jiahe and slowly said, "Pills on the continent are divided into nine grades. Above the ninth grade are precious pills, profound pills, and golden pills. Above these are emperor-grade pills. But in fact, there is only one dividing line for pills, and that is emperor-grade!"

"Below the Emperor grade, although pills possess spirit, it is the alchemist who imbues them with that spirit, and their intelligence varies. Therefore, I call them: Acquired Spirit!"

"Above the Emperor grade, the spirit of the elixir is formed by the alchemist using a powerful soul to enlighten the spirit of the elixir. It has little to do with the alchemist. I call it the innate spirit."

"A nascent Emperor-grade pill is a pill formed by an alchemist who has not helped nurture the pill's spirit, but only imbued it with spirit. After being imbued with spirit, the pill can no longer give birth to an innate spirit to a certain extent!" The Medicine Emperor sighed slightly.

Jiahe frowned and said, "Then is there really no way? This embryonic Emperor-grade pill can never be upgraded to an Emperor-grade pill?"

The Medicine Emperor said, "Nothing is absolute. In ancient times, a peerless alchemist created a method for enhancing spiritual energy while refining medicine. However, this method is only effective for pills below the Emperor grade!"

"To re-nurture the innate spirit within a pill of Emperor rank or higher, a similar method of spirit ascension must be used. However, this requires using the body as the cauldron, with flesh and soul as aids, to re-refine the Emperor-rank embryonic pill—in other words, refining the pill with one's own body—only then can it be refined into an Emperor-rank pill!"

"This method of alchemy is also known as alchemy using one's own body, and it is extremely dangerous!" the Medicine Emperor said slowly.

Medusa and Qinglin, who were standing nearby, came directly to Jiahe's side upon hearing the Medicine Emperor's words and each grabbed one of his arms.

"No, I disagree!" Medusa said firmly.

Qinglin looked at Jiahe with a worried expression, afraid that he would agree.

Jiahe frowned deeply. He suddenly remembered that in the original plot, the Soul Emperor seemed to have swallowed the Emperor-grade embryonic pill directly.

Then, the Soul Emperor sacrificed almost the entire Central Continent in blood before he could refine the Emperor-grade embryonic pill and achieve the position of Dou Di!

Perhaps the Soul Emperor accidentally unlocked the method of alchemy by sacrificing his own body, but he did not use his own soul and flesh as aids, but instead sacrificed the living beings of the Central Plains!

Gah would never do such a thing. If he did, he would be infamous for all time, and how would he be any different from those evil races from beyond the realm?

Using himself as a cauldron to refine a nascent Emperor-grade pill is too risky for Jiahe.

Gah glanced at Medusa and Qinglin's resolute eyes beside him and sighed inwardly.
