Battle Through the Heavens: Marry Cao Ying, Reward is Devouring Ancestral Symbol

Chapter 314 You Got Married?Old Man Shennong looked at him, his tone indifferent. ”You only have one chance. If you succeed, everything is negotiable. If you fail, treat it as if you never came.”

Shen Wen nodded, saying nothing more.

He took the supreme cauldron from his storage ring and placed it in the center of the clearing.

The cauldron was dark gold all over, with three legs and two ears. Its body was densely covered with fine runic patterns that shimmered faintly with flowing light under the sunlight.

Old Man Shennong’s gaze fell upon the cauldron, and a flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes.

”This cauldron... did you refine it yourself?”

Shen Wen nodded. ”Yes.”

Old Man Shennong glanced at Xuan Danzi, who merely continued to smile.

Shen Wen didn’t delay any further. He raised his hand, and the Fallen Heart Flame surged from his palm, falling into the cauldron.

The moment the flames rose, he waved his left hand, and the medicinal ingredients flew into the cauldron one by one, as if drawn by an invisible hand.

Thirty-six main ingredients and seventy-two auxiliary ingredients—the order, timing, and quantity of their addition were precise down to the smallest detail.

Old Man Shennong stood to the side. Initially, his expression was casual, but soon, a flash of seriousness appeared in his cloudy old eyes.

Shen Wen’s movements were as smooth as flowing water; every step was as precise as if it had been rehearsed a thousand times over.

The medicinal ingredients tumbled, melted, and were purified within the flames; every change was under his absolute control.

But this was not what surprised Old Man Shennong the most.

What truly moved him was that while Shen Wen was performing Alchemy, he was simultaneously doing something else.

As those purified medicinal powers began to undergo Fusion within the cauldron, an obscure Soul fluctuation surged in along with them. That fluctuation was extremely subtle; if not for his extraordinary eyesight, he wouldn’t have noticed it at all.

”This is...”

Old Man Shennong narrowed his eyes, sensing carefully for a moment, before suddenly turning to look at Xuan Danzi.

”Is this the technique you mentioned?”

Xuan Danzi nodded, his youthful face showing a hint of pride. ”Void Manipulation Technique. He figured it out himself. It allows him to divide his attention during Alchemy, melting medicinal power while simultaneously constructing a spatial Formation inside the Medicinal Pill.”

Old Man Shennong fell silent for a moment, then looked back at Shen Wen.

With this look, he never looked away again.

Time passed minute by minute.

Shen Wen’s face gradually turned pale, and fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead, yet the movements of his hands remained as steady as a rock.

Although his Fighting Qi was thick and solid, he was, after all, only an Eight Star Dou Zong. Refining a pill like the zun ji pill was incredibly taxing; that he could hold on until now had already exceeded Old Man Shennong’s expectations.

About an hour later, a clear and resonant ring suddenly echoed from within the supreme cauldron.

The sound was like a Dragon’s roar, possessing immense penetrating power, causing the surrounding bamboo leaves to rustle.

Immediately after, an extremely dense pill fragrance surged from the cauldron, instantly filling the entire valley.

Old Man Shennong waved his hand, and the Pill Lightning that had just begun to gather in the sky was wiped away before it could even fall, as if it had never existed.

He reached out with his other hand, and a golden light flew out from the cauldron, landing steadily in his palm.

It was a Medicinal Pill the size of a longan, pale gold throughout, with its surface densely covered in countless fine lines. Those lines were layered upon each other, faintly forming a miniature Formation that flowed with profound light under the sun.

Old Man Shennong looked down at the Medicinal Pill and fell silent for a moment.

Then, he opened his mouth and tossed the Medicinal Pill directly inside.

Shen Wen’s eyelids twitched.

That was a zun ji pill.

A zun ji pill that could allow a Dou Zun to increase their level by one star.

Ordinary Dou Zuns couldn’t get one even if they begged, yet this person ate it like a jellybean.

Old Man Shennong closed his eyes, savoring it for a moment, then opened them and nodded.

”Not bad.”

He looked at Shen Wen, his gaze carrying undisguised admiration. ”The medicinal power is pure, the Formation is stable, and the Fusion is just right.”
