《Overlord in Cultivation》96. The Eight-diagrams Alchemy Furnace
Advertisement
The expression on Su Yan's face didn't change much. He pondered and refrained himself from beating Tie Baocai.
"Cough..."
Su Yan pursed his lips, and his facial expression became unfathomable, like a peerless master with his hands clasped behind his back.
This made the panda grin humbly with its eyes widened, "Hey man, no discord, no concord, right? I am the one and the only divine beast in the universe, and Lord Dragon will definitely be willing to take me as a disciple!"
Hearing that, Su Yan said arrogantly, "Little bugger, how majestic Lord Dragon is? You’d better introduce yourself including your background if you really want to be his disciple. Otherwise, how can I communicate with his Lordship? Tell him that an uppity guy without knowledge of the immensity of heaven and earth wants mentorship? Nonsense!"
"Sure, sure. Of course."
Tie Baocai took out two Essence Stones with his fluffy fat paws out from nowhere, stuffed them into Su Yan’s hand and smiled honestly, "Dude, you call Lord Dragon out. I'll talk to him personally."
Su Yan meditated, weighing up two Essence Stones in his hands with face full of embarrassment.
This scene made Tie Baocai's face turn blue, looking extremely sullen. He plucked and searched, then took out two more stones. He grinned and handed them to Su Yan, "Bro, help me this time, there'll be another lavish gift for you."
Su Yan took them sophisticatedly, and answered awkwardly, "You don't know it, Lord Dragon is injured. And he is very interested in the dragon blood you took out just now. If you can offer it to help his Lordship recover, I will certainly say a few compliments for you. If he agrees to take you as disciple, we’ll be fellow disciples then!"
Tie Baocai's fat body trembled sharply. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Ah, my senior brother, you know, the dragon blood is at my home. You beckon him out then we can go home and take it together!"
"Emmm…" Su Yan said reluctantly, "The spirit of Lord Dragon is also injured. How about you taking out some soul elixirs for him to nourish his spirit?"
Tie Baocai pulled a long face and said, "Don’t mess with me, kid. Let the Lord Dragon out. I'll talk with him and you stop tripping me up here!"
"Well, well, well, Tie Baocai, how dare you talk to me like that!"
Su Yan said exaltedly, "I don't think you want to take him as your teacher anymore. Please just leave. Lord Dragon doesn't need any insincere disciple like you!"
"Who said I’m not sincere?" Tie Baocai got anxious, "Bro, don't be so hasty. Think about it deeply. You are a human. I mean you can't get the inheritance from Lord Dragon, but I can as I have the lineage of the King of Beast Gods, so I definitely can perform the great learning from him to its extreme. You just mentioned that our Lord Dragon got injured? Once I inherit his legacy, I will certainly give you a share."
"Fuck!
Su Yan almost lost his mind. How shameless it is!
At first it wanted to be the disciple, but now it coveted Lord Dragon’s legacy!

"Bro, I can see that your body is very strong. You might have cultivated the genius skills of Lord Dragon. Is it the Supreme Dragon Art?"
Tie Baocai tempted Su Yan and said, "How about this? You give me the Supreme Dragon Art, and I will offer you the means to drive the Bronze Tripod. What do you think?"
"Supreme Dragon Art?"
Su Yan shook his head and sneered, "What? Supreme Dragon Art? It's not comparable with the secret skills Master Dragon taught me!"
"How can that be? Are you kidding me? How can you slander Supreme Dragon Art?
The panda widened its eyes, and it was so excited that its body shivered a little. It quickly asked, "What’s the name of the skill? Even better than the Supreme Dragon Art? Have a good look at your thin physique! Do you think you can bring out the real power of such a strong scripture? You must be kidding. I think you can give it to me and let me have a try. Maybe once Lord Dragon sees my talents, he’ll take me as a direct disciple. When I succeed, I’ll definitely pay you back, promote you and take you to roam around the cosmos!"
Su Yan looked enigmatic. His mouth was squirming and mumbling a short part of the opening of the Incipient Scripture!
Lots of golden characters exploded in the vast void. Tie Baocai listened for a while, with a serious face and two big ears on end, immersing itself in it.
Suddenly, the scripture stopped. Tie Baocai became so furious that he almost jumped up, urging immediately, "Go on! Tell me the rest of it!"
"No, no, no! The scripture Master has passed to me cannot be revealed to outsiders. Don’t you know this rule?"
Su Yan looked quite troubled, "Also, the great magic is not allowed to spread out!"
"Great magic? What’s it? Show me some moves!" Tiebaocai urged.
Su Yan suddenly performed the Alkaid Boxing. Its speed of punching and closing was considerably fast.
"Alkaid Boxing!" Tie Baocai screamed, "This is Alkaid Boxing!"
"Yep, unfortunately, I don't have enough talents. You don't know how many skills of Master has. But he said other skills could only be passed on to me when I master this one!"
Su Yan felt weird. Was the panda an alien species? Alkaid Boxing was passed on to him by Zhu Yue. How did the panda know its name? Perhaps, the ancient books and classics recorded the Big Dipper Boxing when the earth was prosperous?
"That’s it! When I get all the inheritance from Master, I can carry forward these lost skills. By the way, is my Master hurt severely? When can he recover? Don't waste time. Dragon is superior and arrogant. You are not talented enough to get all the scriptures!”
Tie Baocai was so impatient and it wandered around Su Yan. After all, all of these showed by Su Yan were real skills. Tie Baocai was so tempted.
"I have told you that Master needs treasures of heaven and earth to recover. I am not lying!" Su Yan swore to the sky, "Master is sleeping now. He needs a lot of energy to recover quickly!"

Su Yan’s vow made Tie Baocai slouch.
"What is the Bronze Tripod?" Su Yan asked all of a sudden.
"That is Alchemy...."
Tie Baocai answered absent-mindedly. Then he trembled with anger, and said angrily, "Kid, you are scheming!"
"This thing belongs to me." Su Yan hummed, "If you don't tell me the truth honestly, how can I recommend you to Lord Dragon? Now hand the measure to drive the Bronze Tripod to me, so that I can trust you, and what is the skill you just used to trick me? Give it to me first as a gift of greeting."
"You’re too greedy, that's the special skills of mine. No way." Tie Baocai's face was full of misbelief, "Unless you let Lord Dragon out!"
"Boom!"
At this time, a loud bang came over, accompanied by a burst of strange fragrance!
"Oh no! They opened the Alchemy House!"
Tie Baocai said hurriedly, "Give me your Bronze Tripod."
"No way." Su Yan's attitude was very firm. He shook his head and said, "Don't even try."
"Don't regret it, boy. There are immortal elixirs in the Alchemy House. You won’t get anything if you’re too late!"
Tie Baocai was so anxious that it almost jumped up, "You can't take the elixir away without my tripod-driving measure. The Alchemy House has been sealed up for so long. Once the elixir furnace is opened, the power of the elixir will be exhausted!"
"Immortal elixir?"
Su Yan was allured. Ancient rumor had it that the First Emperor of Qin sent overmatches from all forces to seek immortal elixir overseas in order to live forever.
"That's a rare holy elixir that has been refined for thousands of years!" Tie Baocai was extremely anxious, "Let's cooperate, okay?"
"Okay, let's go. If you dare trick me again, never think of the mentorship of Lord Dragon in your life."
Su Yan no longer hesitated. He rushed down with Tie Baocai toward the Alchemy House by following the exotic fragrance.
"Look, I seem to see the extinct panda recorded in history books."
"Yes, me too. But I didn’t see it clearly since it's too fast."
There were a lot of people in the underground palace. Some of them were attracted by the panda that suddenly ran out. People were discussing hotly.
"You are panda; your whole family are all pandas!"
Tie Baocai turned back and threatened, "Animal? I’m beast god. I will teach you a good lesson when I come back. Just wait and see!"
These people were stupefied with hairs on end. Usually only the demon lord could speak human language. Was it a demon lord?
The huge underground palace was filled with the suffocating smell of blood.
There were corpses everywhere, and even a lot of beast bodies.
The deeper you go inside, the bigger the underground palace was, the louder the screaming came. The opening of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin attracted countless cultivators and a large number of beast kings for treasures, which
also led to the chaos in the underground palace.
"How rich the natural essence is!"
Su Yan was amazed that the natural essence in this area was several times stronger than that of Huaxia College on the Divine Dragon Mountain. He even felt the existence of Qi of Earth Vein. The Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin was absolutely built on the earth's dragon vein.
One person and one beast ran extremely fast.
"Hurry up, kid. If we're late, there'll be nothing left!"
Tie Baocai anxiously urged. Its four strong hooves were rushing crazily like windmills.
"Shit, I’m out of energy! Tie Baocai, carry me!"
Su Yan said out of breath.
Tie Baocai was so angry that it shouted with red eyes, "Stop daydreaming. Is the great Beast God something you can ride on?"
"Do you want the immortal elixir or not?" Su Yan threatened.
"Ah!"
The panda ran away a long distance to vent his anger, then came back, staring fiercely at Su Yan.
Su Yan jumped on Tie Baocai's back, patted his fat butt and said, "Our destination, Alchemy House! Go!"
"Fuck, wait and see!!"
Tie Baocai didn’t want to talk nonsense with Su Yan and ran all the way.
"Look! It’s Su Yan! How dare he come out! Tong Huoyin is looking for him madly!"
"Oh, my god. Look, isn't that a panda the national treasure? How can he ride on a panda?”
"It's incredible that one of the extinct panda species is still alive. It's breaking news that can shock the whole Huaxia College. Will it have some little pandas?"
Cultivators passing by were shocked by this scene, which made Tie Baocai look depressed.
At this time, the fragrance was getting richer and stronger.
Su Yan and Tie Baocai arrived their destination, but there were many corpses, all blackened.
"After thousands of years of fermentation, elixirs have produced poisonous gases which poisoned many people to death."
Su Yan's eyes shrank sharply. Many powerful beasts were also poisoned to death!
Arriving here, Su Yan felt like standing in the crater of a volcano. He couldn't help being shocked. There was a fire vein underground!
Not far ahead was an Alchemy House, but the stone gate had been pushed open.
When they broke into the house, the whole Alchemy House was too horrible to look at. There were amputated limbs everywhere. Too many people died here!
Su Yan even saw the corpses of several top beast kings.
"Tong Huoyin!" Su Yan's eyes went red.
There was only one man— Tong Huoyin in the whole Alchemy House, who was seriously injured with one broken arm. Now he was using another arm to open a giant Eight-diagrams Alchemy Furnace!
"Open!"
Tong Huoyin roared excitedly. He used his strongest strength to open the furnace!
This was a furnace that had been working for thousands of years. God knew what rare elixirs were being refined in it!
"Tong Huoyin, your father is here!"
"Here comes your uncle Baocai!"
Su Yan and Tie Baocai roared at the same time like two giant beasts. Their voices shook the world, distracting Tong Huoyin who almost lost his breath.

First Iteration
What is a soul ? Is it your true self ? Would you be the same if your soul kept traveling from life to life but your memories faded for each new life you had ? Your education would be different each time, your growing environment would be different, your personality might change. So what is the purpose of the soul ? Mortals never got an answer for this question. Finding an exact definition didn’t matter for them, what they knew was that a soul allowed reincarnation. Even if they lost some memories, getting glimpses of their past lives was more than enough. Getting the possibility of a new life, a better life was what they thrived for. This became an even greater truth as progenitors, the first of their cycle, became scarce. As hundreds of new progenitors were born each century, nowadays, no more than a handful of them appeared every 200 hundreds years. As they represent a new cycle, they embody new opportunities: some progenitors have made kingdoms, others have been their doom. So when four of them appeared at the same place, at the same time, how can it not be perceived as a sign ? A sign that things were about to change…
