Until this moment, Tan Yun was still thinking about the insights and secret texts regarding the four arts from the ancestor master of the Four Arts Star Domain.
"I cannot leave," he thought to himself.
"I can't leave; otherwise, I will be driven out of the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace and will have to wander everywhere!"
"The heaven and earth divine essence in the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace is so rich; if I stay, my cultivation speed will surely be twice as effective with half the effort!"
"After I improve my strength, I must go find Su Bing. Only by staying in the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace can I quickly cultivate and enhance my power. I can't leave!"
Thinking of this, Tan Yun took a deep breath, put aside his pride, and slowly knelt before Dao Kun.
Tan Yun did not feel ashamed. In the past, when he was in the Lower Universe, he was a high and mighty ruler, but now it was different; he was merely an ant in the supreme ancestor realm!
In the survival-of-the-fittest supreme ancestor realm, if one wanted others to respect and fear them, they must have sufficient strength!
Sufficient capability!
Tan Yun knelt and looked up at Dao Kun, "Supreme Saint Elder, I'm different from your previous artifact boy and alchemical child; I will not disappoint you."
"I will definitely do well in the tasks you have entrusted me with. If I make even the slightest mistake, you need not lift a hand; I would willingly commit suicide to apologize!"
"I humbly request the Supreme Saint Elder to give me a chance!"
Seeing Tan Yun's sincere demeanor, Dao Kun raised an eyebrow slightly and said coldly, "Good, you said it yourself; if you fail, you will commit suicide, right?"
"Yes!" Tan Yun nodded firmly.
"Then fine." With a wave of his right arm, a scroll appeared out of thin air, floating in front of Tan Yun as Dao Kun coldly said, "The scroll contains the appearance, cultivation methods, attributes, medicinal properties, and uses of hundreds of billions of divine medicines from the supreme ancestor realm, as well as the attributes and uses of hundreds of billions of refining materials."
"Previous artifact boys and alchemical children took as long as three months at the fastest to memorize all the appearances, cultivation methods, attributes, medicinal properties, and uses of the hundreds of billions of divine medicines, as well as the attributes and uses of the refining materials."
"You have one month, young man. As long as you can memorize it, I will keep you."
"If you haven’t memorized it after a month, do you understand the consequences?"
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun nodded, "I understand!"
Immediately, what Tan Yun said next stunned Dao Kun slightly.
"Returning to the Supreme Saint Elder, I feel that one month is too long." Tan Yun said, "Give me seven days; I will definitely accomplish it."
"Seven days?" Dao Kun frowned, glancing at Tan Yun, "Young man, confidence is good in both life and work, but being overly confident can be ignorance."
"I'll give you one last chance to change your mind."
Without hesitation, Tan Yun replied, "No need, I want seven days!"
"Unaware of your own limits." Dao Kun shook his head at Tan Yun and stepped out of the great hall, disappearing.
In Dao Kun's heart, Tan Yun was just ignorant!
He absolutely did not believe that Tan Yun could accomplish it in seven days!
There were two reasons!
First, the scroll contained the records of hundreds of billions of divine medicines, which not only required memorizing the appearance, cultivation methods, attributes, and uses of the divine medicines, but also the attributes and uses of hundreds of billions of refining materials. How could such massive information be memorized in just seven days?
Second, and most importantly!
Dao Kun clearly remembered that in the distant past, when he apprenticed to the ancestor master, the master had asked him to memorize these along with senior brother and second senior brother.
He was the fastest to memorize it, but it took him ten days!
He spent an immense amount of effort and energy during those ten days, and after memorizing it, he had a splitting headache and passed out for seven days and nights before waking up.
