“Shou Ye, press your hand onto my Destiny Dao Cauldron first. I shall impart all of my lifelong alchemy and cultivation experience to you,” said the True Monarch Profound Pill.

Wang Shouye froze briefly, then hurriedly asked, “True Monarch, why would you do this?”

“Alas, this remnant of my spirit has endured for far too long. It has already reached the point of exhaustion and decline. If my lifelong learning and experience were to dissipate like smoke, it would truly be a pity. You must not decline.” The True Monarch Profound Pill sighed deeply and said, “These insights and experiences will help you swiftly achieve the rank of an Alchemy Grandmaster, effortlessly reaching the pinnacle of life.”

“This…” Wang Shouye hesitated slightly but quickly made up his mind. He replied firmly, “Thank you, True Monarch. However, I believe this is unnecessary. First, alchemy is a path that requires steady, incremental progress. While receiving imparted experience might yield quick benefits, it would be akin to building castles in the air, with an unstable foundation. More importantly, once I become accustomed to shortcuts, the slower progress in the future might lead me to a mental imbalance, making it hard to walk far on this path.”

Such a choice might be difficult for others to understand, but Shou Ye had always been this way. He was accustomed to working steadily, handling matters meticulously, and believing in hard-earned achievements as the true way to find peace of mind.

Rather than having experience handed to him, he preferred spending time to gather it himself.

The True Monarch Profound Pill almost fainted in anger. He feigned anger and said, “Do you intend to let all of my life’s experience evaporate like mist?”

“Not at all, not at all,” Wang Shouye quickly shook his head and said, “It’s just that, with my current mastery in alchemy, although the success rate of crafting the 7th Rank Soul Molding Saint Elixir is not very high, if I inherit the codex, improve my bloodline significantly, and have the True Monarch assisting me, I believe there won’t be substantial difficulties.”

“By that time, the True Monarch could recover much of his soul force through the Soul Molding Saint Elixir, and we would naturally have time later to find ways to help you survive. My family does have some experience in this regard.”

“The 7th Rank Soul Molding Saint Elixir!” The True Monarch Profound Pill trembled with anger.

This boy’s proficiency in alchemy had already reached such a level. Yet, even when faced with the golden opportunity of instant ascension, he refused it!

This left the True Monarch completely at a loss for what to do next.

“The Soul Molding Saint Elixir requires the Level Twelve Fruits of Soul Tree as the main ingredient. Unfortunately, amidst this entire herbal garden, there isn’t one Soul Tree.” The True Monarch Profound Pill pushed back grudgingly, “Moreover, I’ve never heard of a Level Twelve Soul Tree existing in the world.”

“There is,” said the Duchess of Luo Jia from the side. “His Majesty, the King of Virtuous Martial Brilliance, planted a Half-Immortal Soul Tree seventeen thousand years ago in the Immortal Dynasty’s domain on the battlefield outside the realm. Absorbing the chaotic soul forces there over thousands of years, it has long since matured, and its production is not particularly scarce. To speak more practically, Ling Xiao’s family has a few fruits in their collection, and I can personally gift one to Shou Ye.”

She had clearly seen through Wang Shouye’s extraordinary talent and limitless potential for the future. Rather than opposing him, it was better to invest in this relationship early on, cultivating a connection that might prove invaluable later.

“In that case, Shou Ye extends heartfelt thanks to Miss Ling Xiao.” Wang Shouye expressed his profound gratitude, “Should there be a need for my service in the future, I will unquestionably comply.”

“The King of Virtuous Martial Brilliance? Who is that!?!” The True Monarch Profound Pill’s plans were repeatedly foiled, and he was thoroughly infuriated.

“Well… that was Princess Muyue back in the day, your wife,” the Duchess of Luo Jia replied with faint doubt. “Has the True Monarch not interacted with anyone over these years?”

“Naturally, I have not encountered anyone significant, only some minor figures,” the True Monarch Profound Pill answered somewhat awkwardly. “I simply didn’t expect that Muyue had planted a Soul Tree on the battlefield.”

“I see,” said the Duchess of Luo Jia with apparent realization, “Actually, the King of Virtuous Martial Brilliance is merely her posthumous title after she passed away. It’s understandable for you not to know. Alas, when I reminisce about her majesty’s grandeur in those days, she truly inspires awe! It is said that throughout her life, she was always searching for traces of the True Monarch.”

“Is that so? Haha, Muyue was overly sentimental,” the True Monarch Profound Pill responded with growing awkwardness.

“Brother Shou Ye, something seems off,” the Duchess of Luo Jia continued to recount stories about the King of Virtuous Martial Brilliance, while secretly transmitting a message to Wang Shouye. “I’ve carefully researched the histories of Princess Muyue and the True Monarch Profound Pill. The behavior of this remnant spirit seems highly unusual. The True Monarch, during his lifetime, was a gentle and elegant figure. His bond with the King of Virtuous Martial Brilliance was profound. Hearing of her passing, his reaction should not have been so nonchalant. Moreover, I sense he has been persistently attempting to lure you into accepting his experience transfer.”

“I also feel there’s something strange; let’s both stay vigilant.” Wang Shouye transmitted in response, then bowed and said again, “True Monarch, please trust your disciple. I promise I’ll find a way to gradually restore your remnant spirit…”

“You brat, trying to take the easy way out instead of accepting what I willingly offer!”

The Magic Cauldron Lord had grown impatient, and realizing his ploy was about to be exposed, he decisively tore off his disguise.

“Boom!”

Instantly, a terrifying force erupted from the damaged cauldron.

The cauldron soared into the air, carrying an overwhelming power as it descended upon Wang Shouye in an attempt to suppress him.

“Brother Shou Ye, watch out!”

The Duchess of Luo Jia, who had been cautiously alert all along, immediately stepped forward to block the incoming cauldron. With a flick of her sleeve, she forcefully intercepted its aggressive advance.

However, the controlling remnant spirit was not ordinary—it belonged to the True Immortal Realm. Even a mere fragment of soul will carried formidable power. The cauldron itself was no simple artifact—it was the legendary Demonic Cauldron, the prized possession that had made the Magic Cauldron Lord famous.

“Boom!”

The Duchess of Luo Jia was immediately blasted backward by the tremendous impact, crashing right into Wang Shouye’s arms.

Before either could react, the cauldron descended again, crushing them as if a thousand mountains were pressing down.

In the blink of an eye, the Duchess of Luo Jia ended up lying on Wang Shouye, their four hands raised in unison as they used their combined strength to barely resist the overwhelming suppression force of the cauldron.

“Hahaha! You foolish brat and conniving girl, refusing to listen to my words, forcing me to waste soul energy to seize you by brute force!”

The sinister laughter of the Magic Cauldron Lord reverberated throughout the Heritage Hall.
