Wang Yan was immediately taken aback. He stared at the passageway that was only wide enough for a single person to pass through. He did not take a single step forward.
He was unsure whether this was one of Li Rendan's tricks or not. After all, he was both righteous and evil, acting on a whim.
Li Rendan said he was not one of those self-proclaimed righteous people, nor did he have any prejudice against demonic sects or demonic cultivators.
However, Wang Yan would rather believe Xiao Long than Li Rendan, who was both righteous and evil.
In the ancient times, demonic sects and demonic cultivators were not tolerated by the world. They were hunted down by everyone.
Cultivating demonic cultivation was a taboo. It was despised by everyone.
In that age, humans could be divided into two main groups. One group were demonic cultivators, while the other group were righteous people who believed they were extraordinary.
It was possible to say that demonic sects and demonic cultivators made enemies out of everyone in the ancient times.
With no other choice, a group of demonic cultivators was forced to cross countless seas of stars and arrive in this barren miniature world to continue their legacy.
This barren miniature world was the current Starsource Continent.
Li Rendan must have come into contact with demonic cultivators before since he could tell that he was a demonic cultivator with a single glance.
However, he said that demonic cultivators were no different from regular cultivators, as if he did not care whether Wang Yan was a demonic cultivator or not.
"Kid, come over here. Accept my legacy."
Li Rendan's voice suppressed his surging thoughts. Wang Yan raised his eyes and looked ahead.
He had appeared on the first floor of the twelfth floor. The figure completely condensed from milky-white flames was at the end of the passageway.
It burned with roaring flames, and its hollow eyes shone with an obscure light. It was the wisp of soul fire that Li Rendan had left behind in the world.
"Senior Pill King, I …"
"I know what you're thinking. Originally, I would never interfere with the actions of the challengers."
"You have to pass the twelve trials to receive my legacy. Apart from that, there are no shortcuts."
"But you're a demonic cultivator, and you're the first human to enter Pill King Valley in several centuries."
Li Rendan sighed gloomily when he reached there. "If I destroy you because you're a demonic cultivator, wouldn't my legacy vanish in the river of time?"
"Even if I don't, how many years do I have to wait?
This wisp of Soul Fire won't last for more than a few hundred years. "
Hearing this, Wang Yan heaved a sigh of relief.
Based on Li Rendan's words, it was easy to understand why he would take the initiative to open up a path.
However, when Wang Yan thought about it, although the legacy was important, Martial Cultivators and Demonic Cultivators were mortal enemies. They were like fire and water.
As an Alchemy King, Li Rendan could be said to be unparalleled in the path of alchemy. Her own strength was also quite extraordinary.
Now there was only a wisp of soul fire left. The reason why he could refine Yang Xiu, who was at the peak of the Cuixing Realm, alive was that he attacked Yang Xiu unexpectedly.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Yang Xiu had died under a wisp of Li Rendan's soul fire was because of her sneak attack.
If they were to fight head-on, it would be hard to tell who would win.
If Li Rendan wanted to get rid of him because he was a Demonic Cultivator, after weighing the pros and cons, for the sake of safety, he came up with this scheme.
If he were to recklessly step onto this passage, it would be equivalent to putting his life in Li Rendan's hands.
He was like a fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.
"Kid, you don't trust this old man?"
Although his thoughts were seen through, Wang Yan did not feel embarrassed at all. There was only indifference.
Putting his life in the hands of others was undoubtedly a stupid approach.
Thinking quickly, Wang Yan cupped his fists, "Elder Alchemy King, it's not that I don't trust you."
"But I'm worried that once this soul fire is contaminated, I'm afraid I'll follow in the footsteps of my good friend who died tragically on the first floor of the Pill Tower."
"So …"
"After saying so much, you still don't trust this old man?"
Wang Yan's words were interrupted by Li Rendan. He only heard her sneer, "Kid, do you have any other choice now?"
"If you don't become this old man's successor, you can not leave the Valley of Ten Thousand Pills."
"If you don't trust this old man, you can leave the Pill King Tower and find another way out. This old man will not stop you."
Hearing this, Wang Yan weighed the pros and cons. He was really at his wit's end.
Inside the Pill King Tower, as long as Li Rendan wanted to, she could use this terrifying soul fire to kill him at any time.
Helpless, Wang Yan could only maintain the high speed of his dantian's circulation. He separated a strand of his Spiritual Energy into the Heaven Fusion Ring and wrapped it around the Heaven Destruction Halberd.
This way, he could take out the Heaven Destruction Halberd and launch his strongest attack when the situation changed.
After doing this, Wang Yan slowly took a step forward, all the muscles in his body tensed up.
His inky black eyes stared deadly at Li Rendan's flame body. His feet shifted as he used the Roaming Body Technique to the extreme.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Yan passed through the passage and appeared in front of Li Rendan's flame body.
Although the entire process seemed simple, it was in fact thrilling.
Because if Li Rendan attacked while Wang Yan was passing through the passage, it would be fatal to Wang Yan.
Luckily, Li Rendan did not go back on his words. Otherwise, Wang Yan really did not have the confidence to escape unscathed from this milky white transparent flame.
"A dual cultivator of magic and martial arts, and also a Spiritual Energy Warrior. Young man, if you were placed in my era, you would be the brightest star."
"Very good. Only a genius like you is worthy of inheriting my legacy and the King of Elixirs' treasures."
Huuu …
Letting out a breath, Wang Yan shook his head. "Young man, you are just lucky. You are not a genius."
Li Rendan's flame body shivered. Laughing loudly, he said, "Not at all. Luck is also a kind of strength."
"If your strength is not strong enough, how can you have luck?"
Then, Li Rendan's tone changed. "No need to say more. Young man, are you prepared to inherit my legacy?"
"I am."
Although he was speaking against his will, Wang Yan had no other choice.
Because if he did not inherit the King of Elixirs' inheritance, he would not be able to leave the Valley of Ten Thousand Pill.
"Very good. Before we begin, I will tell you about the past."
"I believe that before you came to the Valley of Ten Thousand Pills, you already knew about my life. You must have many questions."
"How did I suddenly become famous and rise to the ranks of the alchemy masters?
Why was he unknown before this? "
Wang Yan's heart skipped a beat and he nodded. When Yang Xiu told him about Li Rendan's life, he had this question in his mind.
Li Rendan was praised by everyone on the East Continent and was called the King of Elixirs.
But before this, he was unknown and no one had ever heard of him.
And the reason why Li Rendan's fame spread far and wide was because he had refined a Heaven Level Elixir.
Why was such a peerless character unknown before this?
"Actually, it's very simple. It's because I had a fortuitous encounter and obtained a mysterious alchemy book called Alchemy God Enlightenment!" Baidu opened the latest chapter of the Primordial Claw Book House and read it for free.
