Chapter 338: Not Like a Human

Upon hearing Master Hui’s words, Mei Bugu’s young face didn’t show surprise, but instead had a noticeable coldness.

Seeing Mei Bugu’s expression, Master Hui sighed, "Initially, Jiang Yun helped us win the first battle, and the sect master had agreed to let him leave. But unexpectedly, Mirage appeared at this moment, causing the sect master to change his mind."

"Mei’er, don’t blame your sister. She also has her difficulties. As the sect master, she must first consider the sect and all disciples."

"You know that Jiang Yun surpasses others in both medicine and cultivation, and has already received the complete heritage."

"If he enters Mirage again, our Grand Medicine Sect may not gain much inside Mirage this time."

"Guan Yiming, Xiao Zheng, Zhou Dongqing, and Duan Ning, which of these disciples can compete with Jiang Yun?"

Mei Bugu did not respond to Master Hui’s comfort, as if he hadn’t heard, just standing there, looking into the distance.

Master Hui had to continue, saying, "The sect master doesn’t want to harm Jiang Yun, just to receive the complete inheritance."

"You could also advise Jiang Yun to reveal the complete inheritance, then after Mirage is closed, I’ll talk to the sect master, maybe she will agree to let Jiang Yun leave."

Finally, Mei Bugu suddenly asked, "Has the protective array been activated?"

"Yes! But only one-tenth of it has been activated."

Mei Bugu smirked, saying, "Fully blocking the teleportation power of Grand Medicine Sect and Heavenly Pill City, one-tenth is already enough!"

"Mei’er…"

Master Hui clearly wanted to say more, but Mei Bugu bowed to her and then left, leaving Master Hui shaking her head where she stood.

。。。

After stepping through the light door opened by Master Hui, Jiang Yun found himself back inside the Refining Heaven Furnace.

Jiang Yun didn’t rush to call the Supreme Ancestor, but instead looked around at the smooth walls of the furnace.

Sure enough, they were smooth and empty.

All the dense and various runes that were there before had disappeared.

This made Jiang Yun think again, "Although each of these runes indeed carries a legacy, they are actually within the scope of a complete legacy."

"I have already received a complete inheritance, so why are these runes flying into my body?"

"What exactly is the purpose of these runes?"

"Hmph!"

Just then, a cold snort suddenly sounded in Jiang Yun’s ear, interrupting his thoughts, and the illusionary figure of the Supreme Ancestor appeared.

The Supreme Ancestor looked around the empty furnace and said coldly, "I don’t like the current Refining Heaven Furnace."

Jiang Yun understood what the elder meant but didn’t want to offend them, so he pretended not to hear and politely said, "Senior, I have completed your request!"

Hearing this, the Supreme Ancestor’s expression improved slightly and nodded, saying, "I have already heard that Little Chubby has praised you a lot, giving you credit for everything!"

Little Chubby?

Jiang Yun was a bit surprised but then realized the elder was referring to Elder Shen.

Even though not much time had passed since leaving the battlefield, Jiang Yun knew that the first battle was about to end, and a bigger battle would have begun. He asked, "How is the battle going?"

"It’s at a standstill, but our disciples are determined, and with the Wuliang Medicine Stone fortifications and plenty of elixirs, we shouldn’t lose this battle!"

Jiang Yun felt relieved and asked, "Since I have met the elder’s conditions, should the elder fulfill the rest of the promise now?"

The Supreme Ancestor gave Jiang Yun a cold look and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t deceive a youngster like you."

"Moreover, I watched Shizun grow up, and he is like a son to me; I certainly do not want him to stay here forever."

Jiang Yun clasped his hands together again and said, "Please, show me how can I make my adoptive father leave here."

The Supreme Ancestor did not directly answer the question, but pointed upwards and asked, "Do you know the purpose behind the Medicine God Patriarch leaving behind the Refining Heaven Furnace?"

Jiang Yun was a bit confused by the Supreme Ancestor’s words, but still replied, "Of course, it is to preserve his complete legacy."

"You are only partially correct!"

To be honest, Jiang Yun had no interest in discussing these matters with the other party, but he dared not offend, so he had to patiently listen.

The Supreme Ancestor sighed softly and began to recount past events to Jiang Yun.

Since the Refining Heaven Furnace was personally crafted by the Medicine God, it was not only used for refining medicine, but also a rare treasure.

Naturally, it was part of his legacy, so he left this furnace, not only to preserve his complete legacy within but also to protect the Grand Medicine Sect.

The hope is that in the future, someone among the disciples and descendants could use the Refining Heaven Furnace again to make more and better pills.

However, as the Refining Heaven Furnace has been hidden for years without sunlight and no one using it to refine medicine, it will gradually decay and eventually collapse.

Therefore, the Medicine God left a rule that in each generation of disciples, at least one person must enter the Refining Heaven Furnace!

They use their soul and cultivation to nourish the Refining Heaven Furnace, so it can exist forever and be passed down.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

Although the Refining Heaven Furnace is indeed a treasure, it seems cruel and excessive to use human souls to nourish it for its longevity.

However, having just absorbed the spirit qi of ten soul bodies, it’s evident there are many souls within the furnace.

Jiang Yun really didn’t want to continue listening and urged for the third time, "Elder, just tell me straight, what do I need to do to help my adoptive father leave this place?"

Supreme Ancestor appeared somewhat displeased with Jiang Yun’s impatience and gave him a glance, saying, "As long as you can bring the Refining Heaven Furnace back into the light, enable it to make pills again, absorb spirit qi from the heavens and earth, it will gradually repair itself."

"When that time comes, we won’t need to sacrifice disciples of the Grand Medicine Sect to nourish the Refining Heaven Furnace anymore."

Jiang Yun, although he understood some, still asked with a puzzled expression, "What does ‘seeing the light of day again’ mean?"

The Supreme Ancestor pointed below and said, "Where you are now is actually just an illusory projection of the Refining Heaven Furnace, the real Refining Heaven Furnace is hidden in the Furnace Peak!"

Jiang Yun furrowed his brows and asked, "So, does this mean that no one in your sect has been able to retrieve the Refining Heaven Furnace all these years?"

"Of course not, only with the complete inheritance can one possibly retrieve the Refining Heaven Furnace!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun finally understood everything.

To make his adoptive father leave this place, all he needed to do was to retrieve the Refining Heaven Furnace from the Furnace Peak and bring it into the light of day.

"What exactly needs to be done?"

However, the Supreme Ancestor shrugged and said, "That, you’ll have to figure out on your own! After all, throughout history, only you have received the complete inheritance."

"Okay, I’ll go now!"

"Hmm!" The Supreme Ancestor finally showed a hint of satisfaction on his face, nodding and saying, "I’ll have the sect master personally take you there!"

After saying that, the old ancestor waved his sleeves, sending Jiang Yun out of the Refining Heaven Furnace once again, appearing back on the peak of Furnace Peak.

Mei Yuyao had not appeared yet, and Jiang Yun was still thinking about the Supreme Ancestor’s words earlier. Just then, he heard Bai Ze’s voice in his mind.

"Kid, that Supreme Ancestor is not right!"

"What do you mean, not right?"

"He, seems not human, but a demon!"
