Ye Xiruo continued her slow ascent, constantly sensing the changing pressure on the steps. Every five steps, the pressure doubled, and every ten steps, it increased fivefold. By the time Ye Xiruo reached the tenth floor, the overwhelming pressure made it hard to breathe. After struggling for a long time, she still couldn't take a step and had to give up, sitting down to begin cultivating.

These pressures were indeed formidable, even capable of compressing a person's bones and blood. As soon as Ye Xiru circulated her cultivation technique, she clearly felt that her true energy was not flowing as smoothly as before in her meridians, as if it were blocked by something, directly doubling the difficulty of cultivation.

However, the smile on her lips kept widening. As expected of a gravity training room, under heavy pressure, it not only enhances the body's resistance but also pushes the body to train better.

Once you get used to cultivating under heavy pressure, then ordinary cultivation will be a piece of cake. The senior who came up with this method is simply a genius. Ye Xiruo held a mid-grade spirit stone in her hand, closed her eyes, and began to cultivate.

Over there, Si Hao also held a spirit stone in his hand and began cultivating.

At the same time, Jing Li, Yao Huang, and Yu Zuo sat together, with two pill prescriptions on the table in front of them.

"Two of the medicinal herbs in this dish are now extinct on the mainland."

"We should be able to find alternative medicinal materials."

"I wonder if those who have been to the secret realm still have any left."

The Medicine King squinted his eyes and said, "Thank you so much this time."

Jingli said irritably, "Consider it Greenery's reward."

"Ten green plants cannot bring back my disciple's life."

"Then can I borrow Little Leaf's medicinal spring from Medicine King Valley for a soak?" Jing Li tentatively suggested.

"Of course," the Medicine King readily agreed.

"And the prescription must not be revealed. It is the legacy of my Pill King Palace, the very legacy!" Jing Li roared, watching the Medicine Emperor's retreating figure.

"I understand, the inheritance of your Pill King Palace."

Only after confirming that the Medicine Emperor had gone far away did the Emperor speak softly: "I don't recall our Pill King Palace's library having such prescriptions or ancient books."

"Actually, the prescriptions were taken out by Xiao Yezi, tucked inside an ancient book left by her father. The book happens to contain records of the Heavenly Souls, and these two prescriptions also seem to have been collected by her father." Jing Li couldn't find a more suitable explanation.

Does anyone else know about this?

"The eldest brother, Yingxun, Cao Rui, and Yaohuang are gone."

The Emperor looked deeply at Yan Li: "Little Ye Zi is now your apprentice, and it's also your responsibility. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry! This pill formula is a recent product from my Pill King Palace's treasure vault. If you have any problems, just come at me."

"These two prescriptions are very valuable. One is based on the principles of the Five Elements and uses external natural treasures to nourish the congenitally damaged internal organs, thus fundamentally solving her problem of congenital weakness. The other prescription uses a medicinal bath to assist the absorption of the internal medicine, creating a perfect cycle between the inside and outside. The predecessor who created this prescription was truly a genius."

"What a pity, the prescription has already been seen by that old man, the Medicine King."

The Emperor laughed and scolded, "Stop being so glib. You know how important that little girl is to Medicine King Valley. If he wasn't very confident, the Medicine Emperor would never have let you treat her."

"Is talent really that important, so important that one can disregard their life? Doesn't Medicine King Valley have Ying Xun? He's also a peerless genius."

"Do you know how important a high-level alchemist is to the continent? They can even change the outcome of a war. Humanity has always been at a disadvantage in the struggle against other races. Alchemists, indeed." The throne gazed into the distance at the sky.

"I was too extreme."

"The Medicine King's time is running out." The Emperor sighed softly, rose, and left.

Jing Li sat blankly in the chair. Yes, the Medicine Emperor was even older than his master. Before he could even speak, the Medicine Emperor was already the Medicine Emperor. He had existed for countless years, and his alchemy skills were already superb. Although his talent was not as good as his master's, he was probably already a late-stage Emperor-level alchemist.

However, the first time he met the Medicine King with his master was so unpleasant that he has been trying to find fault with the Medicine King for many years.

"This young lady is a rare beauty; we could consider marrying her into our Medicine King Valley."

He still remembers those words clearly.

"Senior Medicine King, you flatter me. Little Lili is already the young master of my Pill King Hall."

"Oh, that's truly a promising young man. You can come visit Grandpa Medicine King more often in the future." The Medicine King's tone was full of regret, and his inexplicable gaze left a deep psychological shadow on young Jing Li.

In Medicine King Valley, there lived a strange old man with a white beard. He had a group of disciples who wanted to marry him. As he grew older, his favorite thing to do was to go to Medicine King Valley and challenge the talented disciples there.

He was the most talented alchemist of his generation. Every time he went there, he would make the disciples of Medicine King Valley lose face. They even tried to gang up on him several times, but were stopped by the Medicine Emperor.

After he became the temple master and could no longer openly challenge the disciples of Medicine King Valley, he began to learn to be a bandit and an assassin, and would occasionally stroll around Medicine King Valley on a whim.

All of this was seen by the Medicine King. He probably thought of him as just an ignorant junior.

The Medicine King's greatest wish in life was probably for the alchemy profession to truly flourish and for humanity to rise again. It is said that his Daoist partner died at the hands of a demon general, and that battle also took the lives of four or five of his junior brothers.

No, when Master said the Medicine King's time was running out, he probably wasn't referring to the Medicine King's death date. You have to understand, a Nascent Soul cultivator extends lifespan by 800 years, a Deity Transformation cultivator by 1500 years, and a Peak Realm cultivator by 3000 years. He couldn't possibly see through this old man's true strength!

One possibility is that he has arranged everything and is preparing to go to the demon realm to seek revenge. Another possibility is that he may leave the Taiyan Continent and go to a higher plane to seek opportunities.

Although divine masters have not been seen for thousands of years on the Taiyan Continent, they must have complete lineages on other advanced continents.

Add to that the countless secret realms and small worlds of the advanced continents, and it's said that some have obtained divine elixirs within these realms, soaring to the heavens and ascending to immortality in broad daylight. Others have discovered peerless divine weapons, sweeping across the continent and becoming overlords of their time. Still others have received heaven-defying inheritances, their families becoming super powers.

The outside world is wonderful, even the old Medicine King couldn't resist it. However, becoming a Divine Master is the Medicine King's greatest wish, as well as the greatest wish of his deceased junior brothers and Daoist partners. He will probably choose to avenge them after becoming a Divine Master!

Seeing that the old man was about to leave, he decided not to visit Medicine King Valley. However, his master's time seemed to be running out, so it was most important to seize the time to improve his strength. (To be continued.)
