Chapter 348: The Return of the Belongings

"Ah!"

The Supreme Ancestor let out a loud scream, and their illusory body exploded with a bang when Jiang Yun squeezed it forcefully, turning into wisps of smoke that were absorbed back into the Refining Heaven Furnace.

It was only then that everyone in the Grand Medicine Sect came back to their senses, but no one spoke. They all stared at Jiang Yun with wide eyes.

Clearly, the words Jiang Yun had just spoken had left them completely stunned.

Especially the act of forcefully bursting the "Supreme Ancestor" had left a shadow in their hearts.

They couldn’t imagine that hidden secrets existed within the generations-old Refining Heaven Furnace of their sect.

However, they didn’t know if what Jiang Yun had said was true or false.

Suddenly, Mei Yuyao stepped forward, her aura exploding and turning into a powerful pressure that directly faced Jiang Yun, asking coldly, "Do you have any evidence for what you just said?"

Despite the intense pressure that made the entire Furnace Peak tremble, Jiang Yun stood firm, gave Mei Yuyao a cold look, and suddenly shouted, "Come out!"

Wisps of smoke drifted out of the Refining Heaven Furnace, once again condensing into the form of the Supreme Ancestor.

He’s not dead after all!

Right now, he looked like a wilted eggplant, with his head down, hands hanging in front of him, looking weak and unable to even lift his head to look at Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun didn’t even look at him, but kept staring at Mei Yuyao and said, "Tell them, what I said, is true or false!"

Supreme Ancestor hurriedly said, "Yes, everything you said is true!"

"I’m not really a Supreme Ancestor, I’m just an item spirit of the Refining Heaven Furnace. I made some mistakes back then, and was sealed by the Medicine God."

"I thought I would never be free again, but unexpectedly your Supreme Ancestor, after entering the Refining Heaven Furnace, accidentally released me!"

Hearing this, all the disciples of the Grand Medicine Sect couldn’t help but gasp in shock. The Supreme Ancestor they always respected and worshipped turned out to be just an item spirit!

Afraid that Jiang Yun would punish him again, the item spirit, after looking fearfully at Jiang Yun, continued, "But even so, I still can’t leave the Refining Heaven Furnace, so I occupied his soul, gained all his memories and cultivation, pretending to be him until today."

After the item spirit finished speaking, Jiang Yun finally said, "Master Mei, this is the evidence!"

As soon as Jiang Yun finished speaking, he suddenly smiled and said, "Of course, you could also think that he and I conspired, made up such a lie to deceive you all!"

Mei Yuyao could not help but sense the sarcasm in Jiang Yun’s words. Actually, she wished it were true, but deep down she knew it was impossible.

Just based on Jiang Yun, a mere Blessed Land Realm cultivator, being able to make the "Supreme Ancestor" obedient like this, it was enough to prove that he was telling the truth.

Besides his cultivation level, Jiang Yun’s only advantage was being able to control the Refining Heaven Furnace, and therefore controlling the item spirit of the Refining Heaven Furnace.

Although Jiang Yun clearly crushed the item spirit just now, it remained unharmed, and the reason is quite simple.

The item spirit is the Refining Heaven Furnace itself. As long as the Refining Heaven Furnace is not destroyed, the item spirit will not die.

After a moment of silence, Mei Yuyao took a deep breath, and a faint smile appeared on her cold face as she said, "Of course, I believe what you’re saying is true!"

"I’m sorry, my friend Jiang, I misunderstood you!"

In response to Mei Yuyao’s apology, Jiang Yun calmly looked at her and asked, "So, may I leave your sect now?"

"Of course, you can leave at any time, and from now on, you, Jiang Yun, are a valued guest of my Grand Medicine Sect. Whenever you come to our sect, we will welcome you!"

"Also, to show my apology and for all I have done to you before, please accept these things, young friend."

While speaking, Mei Yuyao handed Jiang Yun a storage ring. Jiang Yun glanced at the ring and shook his head, saying, "I don’t need these things. If there’s nothing else, I’m ready to leave now!"

Mei Yuyao’s face immediately turned serious. "If you don’t accept these things, it means you still resent me!"

Jiang Yun furrowed his brows slightly, nodded, and said, "Then I will be disrespectful!"

Seeing Jiang Yun taking his things, Mei Yuyao smiled and said, "Alright, Heavenly Pill City has a teleportation array to Nanshan Province. I will have someone send you off now!"

"No need!"

Jiang Yun shook his head to refuse, then without giving Mei Yuyao a chance to speak again, he suddenly stepped in front of Mei Bugu, bowed deeply to her, and then beckoned, and the Refining Heaven Furnace flew over automatically.

"Senior Mei, this Refining Heaven Furnace belongs to your sect. Now that I have let it see the light of day again, it naturally should return to its rightful owner. Please take it back, Senior."

Jiang Yun’s unexpected actions surprised everyone, especially Mei Bugu who seemed a bit dazed.

After taking a deep look at Jiang Yun, she nodded gently and said, "Since that’s the case, on behalf of my sect, thank you, young friend!"

"You’re very polite, senior!"

Just as Mei Bugu took the Refining Heaven Furnace, a deafening sound echoed through the air.

The Furnace Peak, which had risen into the air, descended back to the ground. Amidst the loud noise, Jiang Yun’s message rang in Mei Bugu’s ears, "Senior, my adoptive father is still in the Refining Heaven Furnace. Though he is safe, I hope you can take care of him."

"Also, here is a simple method to control the item spirit!"

Although Mei Bugu heard Jiang Yun’s message, his face remained expressionless as he calmly said, "Alright, I won’t keep you any longer. You may leave!"

"Goodbye!"

Jiang Yun soared into the air, bowed to everyone from the Grand Medicine Sect below, and then turned towards the direction of Heavenly Pill City and swiftly departed.

Watching him hurry away, Mei Yuyao smirked, "What a clever boy, leaving the Refining Heaven Furnace behind! But do you think that means I will let you go?"

Jiang Yun didn’t take the Refining Heaven Furnace with him not because he didn’t want to, but because he couldn’t!

He had already received the complete inheritance from the Medicine God. If he took the Refining Heaven Furnace as well, he believed that the Grand Medicine Sect and the Seeking-Tao Sect would be at odds from then on.

Also, although the Refining Heaven Furnace is very precious, he didn’t really care too much because his alchemy skills don’t rely on any external materials or forces.

As Jiang Yun left, Mei Yuyao seemed a bit disinterested, not even looking at the Refining Heaven Furnace. She just waved and said, "Alright, now each of you go back to where you came from. The big battle is not over yet; continue making the elixirs!"

After a brief explanation, Mei Yuyao also turned and left, returning to the top of God Peak, which was her residence.

"Sister!"

Just then, Mei Bugu’s voice suddenly came from outside the door, causing Mei Yuyao to coldly smile, "Rare to hear you call me sister, seems like it was a hundred years ago, right!"

"Don’t worry, I won’t go after Jiang Yun, and you don’t have to pretend when you call me sister!"

。。。

Jiang Yun ran as fast as he could, leaving Grand Medicine Sect in the blink of an eye. Only after he couldn’t see the peaks of the God Furnace anymore, did he stop and take out the ring that Mei Yuyao had given him. Without even looking at it, he threw it away forcefully.

At that moment, Mei Yuyao’s voice suddenly came from the ring, "Are you leaving just like that?"

Jiang Yun’s eyes flashed with cold light. He was about to speak, but then his face showed a look of surprise!
