Chapter 2472: Chapter 2461: Uncontrollable Absorption
Looking around.
The entire enormous Alchemy Plaza.
One after another, the Wus’ core disciples who specialized in Alchemy were all wholly focused on refining Elixir Pills.
The air was completely filled with the fragrance of pills.
The temperature over this Alchemy Plaza was also unusually high.
As a Third-Rank Alchemist, Wu Lingyu’s beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of envy when she saw such a large-scale Alchemy scene.
Although she focused on cultivation, she was also extremely interested in Alchemy; unfortunately, there weren’t many people in her branch family who could guide her in Alchemy.
The Wus being called a sacred land of Alchemy really did have some truth to it. This scene of several hundred people refining pills together was more than enough to be eye‑opening.
Wu Gui had no talent in Alchemy at all, so he simply and honestly concentrated on cultivation.
As for Wu Qishui, his talent in Alchemy was also extremely poor. Although he had dabbled in Alchemy, he was still only a First-Rank Alchemist. Almost all of his energy was spent on cultivation; otherwise, it would have been impossible for him at such a young age to have reached the Initial Stage of the first layer of the Heavenly God Realm.
Ye Chenfeng was now an Eighth Grade Alchemist, Eighth Grade Artifact Refiner, Eighth Grade Talisman Master, and a Formation grandmaster.
After stepping onto this Alchemy Plaza, there was a faint throbbing in his heart. As an Eighth Grade Alchemist, he could sense quite a lot; he could clearly feel that this Alchemy Plaza was anything but ordinary.
From beneath this plaza, a special kind of Profound Meaning continuously welled up, and everyone refining pills on the plaza was wrapped within this Profound Meaning.
This Profound Meaning was exclusive to Alchemy; it could accelerate an Alchemist’s improvement in pill‑refining proficiency.
Refining pills on this Alchemy Plaza was equivalent to constantly comprehending the special Profound Meaning rising from below.
Looking at the dazed Ye Chenfeng, Wu Lingyu, and the others, Wu Zhiming was extremely satisfied in his heart.
However, he did not know that Ye Chenfeng was not dazed, but had fallen into deep thought.
Wu Zhiming said, "The Wus’ Alchemy inheritance has been passed down for a very long time. Back then, our Wu family once produced a Supreme Alchemist."
"Our ancestor Wu Fengxian of the Wus was truly an extraordinary figure in those years. Even now, our Wu family has never fallen behind in Alchemy."
"Although this old man did not major in Alchemy, I can still be considered a Seventh Rank Alchemist now."
Although in the Ancient Realm, and even within the Tian Xuan Realm, there were also Eighth Grade Alchemists, they simply could not be compared to him.
First, Wu Zhiming’s Alchemy techniques were absolutely much more brilliant; second, Wu Zhiming did not major in Alchemy, and yet his current strength had already reached the Late Stage of Divine Venerable Realm.
One had to know that after stepping into the Divine King Realm, advancing even a minor level became extremely difficult, let alone after crossing into the Divine Venerable Realm.
So.
For Wu Zhiming to have reached the Late Stage of Divine Venerable Realm and also be a Seventh Rank Alchemist was truly remarkable.
After all, people who could balance both cultivation and Alchemy were extremely few.
Of course, Ye Chenfeng was a special case. Not only did he juggle Alchemy, his strength was also rising at a terrifying speed.
After pausing for a moment, Wu Zhiming continued, "At present within our Wu family, the old ancestor Wu Chengyan is a Ninth Grade Alchemist, just one final step away from becoming a Supreme Alchemist."
Wu Chengyan was the ancestor with the oldest seniority in the Wus.
It could be said that even the other ancestors had to address him as ’Old Ancestor’ when they saw him.
Wu Zhiming looked at the masked Ye Chenfeng, still holding some resentment in his heart. He had previously said he could help Ye Chenfeng with some matters within his power, yet it seemed Ye Chenfeng had not taken his promise to heart at all.
"These next few days you will all be living in the Wus’ headquarters. If there’s anything you don’t understand in Alchemy, or in cultivation, I can help clear your doubts."
Wu Zhiming’s words made Wu Lingyu, Wu Gui, and Wu Qishui’s eyes light up sharply. For them, this was simply a tremendous boon, even something that could be called a great opportunity.
After all, Wu Zhiming was not only a Late Stage Divine Venerable powerhouse, but also a Seventh Rank Alchemist.
Wu Zhiming’s brows slightly furrowed.
Because he saw that Ye Chenfeng’s eyes were still somewhat dazed.
Ye Chenfeng had been continuously sensing that special Profound Meaning coming from beneath the Alchemy Plaza.
There was a strange, indescribable restlessness in his body, and along with the emergence of this restlessness, the Profound Meaning rising from beneath the Alchemy Plaza actually began to sweep toward him bit by bit.
With such a flood of Profound Meaning surging over all at once, it was impossible for Ye Chenfeng not to attract attention. He hurriedly sent a voice transmission into the Soul Hosting Bracelet: "Old White, Old Black, what should I do now?"
The souls of Old White Wu Fengxian and Old Black Jiang Yuntian had, after all, already recovered to the Extreme Peak of the Peak of Divine Venerable Realm.
Their power spread out from within the Soul Hosting Bracelet. Their power was extremely concealed; unless it was a powerhouse who had likewise reached the Extreme Peak of the Peak of Divine Venerable Realm, no one could sense their presence.
The power of Old White and Old Black pushed the surging special Profound Meaning back beneath the ground.
However.
That Profound Meaning power, which had been forced down into the ground, was still flowing through the earth, continuing to spread toward Ye Chenfeng.
However, with the suppression of Old White and Old Black’s power, this Profound Meaning power became much more stable, and for the time being no one could detect this change.
After that Profound Meaning power flowed into the ground beneath Ye Chenfeng’s feet, it continuously passed through the ground, trickling into Ye Chenfeng’s feet, and finally spread throughout his whole body.
With the help of Old White and Old Black’s power.
Even Wu Zhiming did not notice this.
Yet the Profound Meaning power underground was continuously pouring into Ye Chenfeng’s body.
It was completely beyond Ye Chenfeng’s own control; he could not stop himself from constantly absorbing this Profound Meaning power.
He himself didn’t know what was going on. He clearly hadn’t done anything—so why was the Profound Meaning beneath the ground converging toward him, constantly forcing him to absorb it?
Old White Wu Fengxian sent a voice transmission to Ye Chenfeng: "Kid, it seems the Profound Meaning beneath this Alchemy Plaza is not simple. It’s highly likely that it sensed your powerful Alchemy talent, which is why it keeps gathering toward you like this."
Back then, the Wus had not been located here.
So Old White Wu Fengxian was not very familiar with the current Wus. In his era, there hadn’t even been any Alchemy Plaza.
Seeing that Ye Chenfeng still hadn’t snapped out of his daze, Wu Zhiming eased his breathing. He himself didn’t know why, but he kept feeling that this brat didn’t take him seriously enough. He was an old ancestor of the Wus, the one who controlled the entire Wu family’s law enforcement.
Then.
Wu Zhiming thought that perhaps the Alchemy Plaza was too shocking for Ye Chenfeng, and that Ye Chenfeng might also be very interested in Alchemy, which was why he had not been able to snap out of his daze.
