Chapter 43 - The Alchemical Sects Heritage (2/2)
He waved his hand. The Immortal Qi in the air drifted toward Qing Lan who felt like he was breathing his last. Qing Lan’s entire body began to float off the ground. “Your immortal bones are all broken. You and I have been brought together by fate, so let me heal your immortal bones first.”
The Immortal Soul had just begun to heal the wounded Qing Lan when something burst into the Immortal Pavilion. Qing Lan, who had been floating up, was thrown back onto the ground by a foot which pressed him down.
Shen Ying kept her foot on Qing Lan. Lazily, she turned to the Immortal Soul. “What did you just say?”
The Immortal Soul remained quiet.
Two minutes later…
“The heavens have permitted that I cross paths with you today—someone who can take over the mantle and continue my heritage. She who sees through the fiery furnace…”
“Are you an NPC? Why are you repeating your lines?”
The corner of the Immortal Soul’s mouth twitched and he almost lost his sage-like demeanour. I wouldn’t have to do so if not for you. How would I know that you’d come in?

It was just a heritage—he could hand it down to anyone. He was going to disappear anyway as he was only a remnant soul now.
“You are the first in 50,000 years to…”
“Second,” Shen Ying corrected.
The Immortal Soul glanced at the unconscious man lying on the ground. He smoothly corrected himself, “The second to enter this Immortal Pavilion. But whoever sees through the fiery furnace has the best acumen in town. Fate has brought you and I together.”
“Oh, you people of the immortal town… Is it that easy to have fate?” That was exactly what the Immortal Soul had told Qing Lan earlier.
“…” Where’s my sword?
“In any case… From this day on, this Alchemical Sect will be handed down to you.”
“I don’t want it!”
“From today on, you will… What did you say?” The Immortal Soul hesitated. Was this woman out of her mind? “This is a heritage. How could you refuse it? Do you know that if you manage to refine a pill from our heritage, you could easily attain immortality?”
“It’s so troublesome!” She scratched her head. “Pills and whatnot… I’m not trained in medicine, so I’m not interested. But if you have any recipes for good food, you could hand them to me.” I’ll bring them to Chef so he can look through them.
“Food… food recipes…” The Immortal Soul’s expression darkened. Was an entire heritage’s worth of pills incomparable to food recipes? This person was clearly out of her mind, but he had no other options. “No, you’ve already entered the Immortal Pavilion. You have to accept this heritage!” He was rushing to be reincarnated!
Once the words were out of his mouth, his form flickered. He suddenly appeared in front of Shen Ying, reaching for her forehead and seeking to pass down his heritage by force.
“Eh?” Why was there no reaction? He pressed harder on her forehead. Then, he realised why he couldn’t hand the heritage down. “How can this be?”
“Press any harder and I’ll hit you!” Shen Ying threatened as she took a step back.
The Immortal Soul didn’t dare reply. He studied his own hand. How could this be? As he faced the woman in front of him, his eyes widened.
“Damn. You don’t even have a Spirit Root!”
“Is that… important?”
“…”
You’re freaking killing me. Without a Spirit Root, how in the world did you make it into this pavilion?
