"Um..." Shu Lan was about to say something when the Medicine Ancestor suddenly appeared in the space and excitedly hugged her.
"Thank you, thank you for making my long-cherished wish come true!" The Medicine Ancestor trembled with excitement, and Shu Lan could even feel tears on his soul body.
Shu Lan stood stiffly in the arms of the Medicine Ancestor, who helped her calm her excited emotions.
After a long time, the Medicine Ancestor gradually calmed down.
"I'm sorry, young friend, I was just too excited! I haven't been this happy in a long time!" The Medicine Ancestor released his arms from Shu Lan and said apologetically to her. "You are simply too amazing, a true prodigy!"
"It's nothing, is it?" Shu Lan scratched her head a little embarrassedly.
"How can you say this is nothing? Do you know that this kind of pill can only be refined using my unique formula? To date, no one has ever been able to refine this kind of pill like me." The Medicine Ancestor's tone was somewhat excited. "And you are the first."
At this point, the Medicine Ancestor sighed with emotion, "The person who can refine my pills must have the strongest and best aptitude for alchemy! So, young friend, don't underestimate yourself."
Shu Lan became increasingly embarrassed by what the Medicine Ancestor said. "Isn't it enough to just study art well?" Shu Lan muttered to herself. She had been quite good at drawing back then, and her knowledge of color matching was also quite solid.
As for this alchemy attempt, it was merely a matter of applying his previous knowledge of color matching. It wasn't, as the Medicine Ancestor claimed, an extraordinary talent for alchemy or a prodigy.
After finishing his reflection, the Medicine Ancestor waved his hand. The entire enclosed space instantly vanished, and Shu Lan's consciousness returned to the high platform.
"Young friend, congratulations on passing this alchemy test! Now, I will pass on my alchemy skills to you. Are you ready?"
"Ready!" Shu Lan nodded solemnly.
"Alright." The Medicine Ancestor's fingers emitted a shimmering white light, and he immediately placed his finger on Shu Lan's brow. Shu Lan then closed her eyes.
Suddenly, Shu Lan felt a flood of knowledge and experience in alchemy pouring into his mind. Some of it was familiar to him, and some was unfamiliar, but most of it was unfamiliar.
The experience given by the Medicine Ancestor was extremely rich. After this experience was poured into Shu Lan's mind, Shu Lan suddenly felt as if she had been refining pills for hundreds or thousands of years.
After passing on his legacy to Shu Lan, the Medicine Ancestor's body was on the verge of collapse.
"Senior, you..." This was the scene that Shu Lan saw when she opened her eyes.
"Hahaha, don't worry. I was just a remnant soul to begin with. I've already gained enough to live on for so long. At least I've passed on my legacy, so I have no regrets in dying." The Medicine Ancestor's voice grew weaker and weaker. "Young friend, that alchemy cauldron is a rare and precious artifact. You can drip your blood to make it your own. It can be used for alchemy and also as a defensive magic weapon."
"Mm." Shu Lan nodded repeatedly.
"Since I am about to dissipate, I will give you one last thing." After saying that, the Medicine Ancestor used all his power to gather a ball of light, and then sent the ball of light into Shu Lan's brow.
"With this, you will possess all my alchemy techniques and insights, and you can make all that experience your own. It's equivalent to directly becoming an alchemy master like me, capable of establishing your own school. I look forward to you going even higher and further in the future, becoming an alchemist who surpasses me." As the Medicine Ancestor's words fell, he completely dissipated.
After the Medicine Ancestor implanted the ball of light into Shu Lan's forehead, he felt the experience previously instilled in his mind suddenly become clear and distinct, going from being unclear and intangible through a layer of mist. Now, he could feel that he could transform all that experience into his actual operations.
The Medicine Ancestor was not lying; Shu Lan can indeed be called a master alchemist now.
"Thank you for your gift, senior. I will certainly live up to your expectations." Shu Lan bowed several times towards the place where the Medicine Ancestor disappeared.
Then, Shu Lan turned her gaze to the medicine cauldron on the high platform.
The cauldron was entirely purple-gold in color, with four legs, and decorated with flowing cloud patterns.
Shu Lan stepped forward, bit her finger, squeezed out a drop of blood, and smeared it on the cauldron.
Instantly, the blood was absorbed into the cauldron. At the same time, Shu Lan felt a connection being established between him and the cauldron.
"Ugh, so sleepy... Master?" A little boy's voice suddenly rang in Shu Lan's mind.
"Are you the spirit of this alchemy cauldron?" Shu Lan asked the spirit in her mind.
"Yes, that's right. My name is Ling Yun, and I'm the spirit of the Lingyun Cauldron." The little boy's voice was much clearer now as he answered Shu Lan's question. "So you're my new master now, right? Don't underestimate me! I'm very strong!"
"Pfft!" Shu Lan was amused by Ling Yun. "Okay, okay, I know. You're very strong. I hope we can get along well in the future!"
"Mmm, I'll get along well with you! Hmm, I'm going to sleep a little longer, Master, wake me up if you need anything." Then, Ling Yun fell asleep in a second, leaving Shu Lan, who was both amused and exasperated, listening to his soft snoring.
"Master, brother." At this moment, Qin An walked up to the high platform. He had been waiting for a long time, and finally, Shu Lan finished receiving the inheritance. As the Medicine Ancestor dissipated, the barrier around the high platform also disappeared.
