Shrouding the Heavens

94: The Ancients Did Not Deceive Me 94: The Ancients Did Not Deceive Me Editor: Atlas Studios The silver flame steadily flowed out of the ground.

It released a gentle glow, possessing a spiritual energy aura as the pure light continuously entered the medicinal cauldron.

The entire stone room was circulating with pure white light, curling around everything like a faint mist.

The mistiness and dense Spiritual Qi made it seem just like a proper immortal cave.

This kind of fire fiend was definitely extraordinary.

Other than possessing the most suitable temperature, the most important thing was that it could offer a special spiritual energy that could enter the medicinal herbs and condense Life Qi, helping form a spiritual pill.

The silver flame pulsed and the bronze medicinal cauldron became enveloped by a milky white Spiritual Qi, the many markings upon it all coming to life.

Elder Han closed his eyes and sat in the lotus position as he guarded the medicinal cauldron.

His withered body didn’t have any signs of life.

At this moment, Ye Fan, who was sealed within the medicinal cauldron, felt only one thing – pain.

His four limbs and chest had all been cut open, and all five serious wounds had blood flowing out of them.

He felt extremely weak, but as Elder Han said, he wasn’t immediately in danger of dying.

Soaking in the green elixir, his wounds gradually closed and the bleeding stopped.

The inside of the large cauldron was becoming hotter.

Many bubbles started to appear on the elixir as the temperature continued to rise.

The elixir was up to Ye Fan’s chin, but his body had been sealed by Elder Han and he couldn’t move at all.

“This kind of manner of death is really sullen.

I really am unresigned…” Splash…

Ye Fan started to drink the medicinal elixir.

Only his mouth could move now.

If he could also move his hands, he would definitely first grab that glowing bright red Nine Leaf Phoenix Herb and swallow it.

Due to losing too much blood, Ye Fan’s consciousness was somewhat fuzzy.

He bit his lip, saying, “I can’t die here!” If an ordinary person had lost that much blood they would definitely have already died.

Although the wounds were no longer bleeding after soaking in the medicinal elixir, he was still somewhat unable to endure, sinking into a semi-conscious state.

“I can’t completely lose consciousness…otherwise I’ll die…” Ye Fan was dazed, half awake and half unconscious.

He continued to persevere.

In this kind of semi-conscious state, many familiar people and scenes appeared in his mind.

His white-haired parents calling him home; the cousin who married someone due to a pregnancy whose wedding Ye Fan had attended; another eighteen-year-old cousin passing her ideal university exam, reaching out her hand as if she had a present; his good friends blaming him for disappearing for such a long time… His close relatives at home and his good friends all appeared in Ye Fan’s heart.

He reached out his hand as if he wanted to pull them closer.

He kept running forward, but he couldn’t get any closer to these people.

Then, the people and situations he had gotten into in this world also started to appear in his heart, one by one.

The Pang Bo whose Demonic Qi soared into the heavens struggling bitterly; little Tingting’s tears within the Jiang Family; Elder Han’s sinister sneer… Even Li Xiaoman’s figure appeared, her expression indifferent when they met again, telling him that immortal and mortals lived in two different worlds and to live properly as a mortal… “I can’t die…I have to return home…there are still many friends and family who are waiting for me…” Ye Fan spoke as if sleeping.

Elder Han opened his eyes beside the medicinal cauldron.

“Slowly savor the flavor of death.” Just at this moment, the flame fiends beneath the cauldron emitted even more spiritual energy.

A pure silver flame pulsed, enveloping the bronze medicinal cauldron.

Within the cauldron, a greenish-blue colored elixir was bubbling and covering Ye Fan.

The fire fiends’ special spiritual energy started to circulate as rays of silver light within the cauldron.

Just as Ye Fan was about to lose consciousness, a stream of hundreds of ancient characters appeared in his mind.

Each word flowed by slowly, allowing him to slowly reclaim his consciousness.

Ye Fan was shocked as he gradually became clear-headed.

Last time, when the Jiang Family’s knight had heavily injured him and he had descended into unconsciousness, it was also this ancient scripture that had woken him.

This was just like that time.

At this moment, the temperature within the cauldron was unceasingly rising.

The greenish-blue elixir seemed to want to begin boiling, and Ye Fan didn’t have any other method to use than to silently mouth the ancient scripture, clenching his teeth and persevering.

He felt a strange change overcome him.

Rays of silver light burst into his body, possessing a great amount of life energy as they wandered through his insides unceasingly .

It was the flame fiend’s spiritual energy.

It could dissolve medicinal herbs and condense Life Qi to form a spiritual pill.

At this moment, it was treating Ye Fan like a spiritual medicine as it broke through his sealed body and continually roved about.

The Life Qi started to become livelier and the seal Elder Han had left on his body gradually weakened.

Ye Fan was startled and pleased, finding that he could actually now break off his bindings.

In any case, Elder Han would never think that the flame fiends would actually possess such a special spiritual energy that could break his seal.

The elixir within the cauldron was now boiling, and Ye Fan now felt a pain similar to having his flesh split apart.

He promptly began to circulate the Dao Scripture’s mystical arts.

A huge amount of Life Qi flowed out from his Sea of Bitterness towards the rest of his body, causing it to sparkle lustrously and block the boiling elixir.

Ye Fan was silently and motionlessly sitting there, continuously circulating the Dao Scripture’s mystical arts.

He was condensing a huge amount of the Life Qi within the cauldron for his use, allowing him to heal his body.

An hour later, Ye Fan opened his eyes.

He reached out his hand and grabbed the Black Jade Divine Lotus’s seed.

The lotus seed was massive for a seed.

Its whole body sparkled, appearing as if it were carved from black jade.

A misty light flowed from it, even lighting up Ye Fan’s hand.

These kinds of rare medicinal ingredients couldn’t possibly be dissolved within a short time, otherwise Elder Han wouldn’t have said he wanted to slowly refine him for seven days and nights.

Ye Fan put the lotus seed within his mouth, slowly chewing and swallowing it.

His mouth felt as if endless broken divine jade was flickering, and a powerful Life Qi flooded his mouth, filling his mouth with brilliance.

Elder Han seemed to have heard something while sitting beside the bronze medicinal cauldron.

He ruthlessly sneered, “I guess you couldn’t continue persevering.

Being steeped in the Life Source Extract, although the temperature is rising and you’re feeling endless torment, you won’t die for at least a short time.” Elder Han didn’t have the slightest trace of pity or sympathy.

He once more went silent and closed his eyes.

Within the bronze medicinal cauldron, Ye Fan was expressionless, his mouth overflowing with Qi.

Black light flickered as he completely swallowed the lotus seed.

He then closed his eyes, beginning to silently circulate the Dao Scripture’s mystical arts.

His body immediately lit up with a sparkling light.

Two full hours passed.

Ye Fan’s Sea of Bitterness’s golden light suddenly grew larger.

The Qi and blood he had lost were completely recovered, and his Qi surged.

At the same time, his golden Sea of Bitterness was also becoming turbulent, and the tsunami-like frightening strange sounds seemed about to appear.

Ye Fan forcefully suppressed it, not letting his Sea of Bitterness become further established.

At the same time, he deliberately released some noises to get Elder Han’s attention and open the cauldron so he could strike him down with the golden tome in one blow.

“What sound is that?

Why does it sound like the ocean?” Eder Han opened his eyes, his expression strange as he muttered to himself, “Before peak tier pills appear in the furnace there will be strange occurrences.

Don’t tell me this furnace of pills will not only succeed, but also be peak tier?” Ye Fan tightly clenched his teeth.

He urgently wished for Elder Han to open the cauldron, but hearing these kinds of words, it would be better for him to continue absorbing some power, and the shapeless sound of waves continued to rock the bronze cauldron.

“It really is the sound of waves…” Elder Han seemed a bit excited now.

“My predecessors said that some such strange things could occur when refining pills.

According to legends, when the sound is most loud it will deafen the ears, sounding as if you truly were in front of a real surging ocean.

Could this mean my pills are extraordinary?” Fuck off!, Ye Fan cursed soundlessly.

Elder Han didn’t have any intention of removing the cauldron cover and so he couldn’t attack him.

Rumble… Ye Fan made the sound even louder, allowing the sound of tsunami waves to grow.

His body began to glow with golden light, and his Sea of Bitterness gradually established itself further.

“The ancients did not deceive me!” Elder Han said repeatedly.

“Old Han, having spent your whole life refining medicines, you ended up meeting such a strange occurrence.

This is definitely a furnace of peerless pills.” Ye Fan could no longer continue.

He was unable to hold back his Sea of Bitterness’s wild Qi.

At this moment, angry waves surged over the heavens from his Sea of Bitterness, and a frightening tsunami completely exploded out.

Blazing divine light and raging waves swelled out, and the sound of ocean waves surging deafened the ears.

It was like the sound of thousands of horses galloping, yet also like countless meteors crashing into the earth.

Between the frightening tsunami sounds were also thunderclaps.

Lightning bolts ripped apart the sky, interweaving above his golden Sea of Bitterness, their power dreadful.

At this moment, Ye Fan was extremely nervous.

The golden tome flickered, ready to attack at any time.

However, Elder Han was completely excited, saying, “The ancients did not deceive me…the legends really are true!” He had long since stood up, pacing around the bronze medicinal cauldron as if he wanted to dance with joy.

“The sound of tsunamis and thunder, it’s exactly the same as what’s recorded in the legends.

This is the early sign of a peak tier furnace of pills!” Ye Fan didn’t know whether he should rage or laugh.

He did his best to prepare to attack, but Elder Han most likely wouldn’t open the cauldron.

He had actually convinced himself with such a reason.

Fuck off!, Ye Fan cursed silently again, before calming down and beginning to focus on growing his Sea of Bitterness.

“The ancients did not deceive me…” Elder Han was so excited his hand waved in the air.
