The fragrance was very familiar, as if it was the colorful fluctuations and aroma he sensed outside the secret realm.
At that time, outside the secret realm of the Void Tide Sea, so many martial artists were attracted because of the strange phenomenon that occurred when the secret realm appeared, the bursting rainbow light, the extraordinary fragrance that filled the heavens and the earth—everything was remarkably similar to what lay before him.
Qin Chen immediately showed a thoughtful expression.
It seemed that the strange phenomenon outside the secret realm was not due to the heavenly materials and earthly treasures here, but because of this pot of medicinal soup.
However, wasn't there a Heavenly Dao Source Fruit here?
Why hadn't he seen a single one?
Or perhaps it was in the storage space of this dry bone?
"Senior, are you still here?"
Qin Chen hurriedly spoke respectfully.
The void paused for a moment, and that chilling voice rang out again, "I am here."
"Senior, is this your corpse?"
The chilling voice sighed, "Indeed, this is my corpse from my lifetime."
After a pause, the voice continued, "My consciousness is about to fade away; it has been countless years. I have already reached my limit in holding on. To find a successor like you before I completely dissipate, I have no regrets in death."
Qin Chen felt as if the eyes of this corpse were looking at him. The hollow eyes were pitch black, giving Qin Chen a very uncomfortable feeling.
"Young man, come here. I have only one last wish before I die, which is to hope someone can help me gather my remains. As long as you help me gather my remains, my lifelong inheritance will be bestowed upon you. Do you see this pot of medicinal soup behind me?
This is the medicinal soup I refined before I died. Unfortunately, I unexpectedly met my end back then, and this soup is still being continuously refined under the burning of the void fire."
"After all these years, this pot of medicinal soup contains the most terrifying power in the world. Just one drop can cause a tremendous change in anyone. I see your cultivation is only at the mid Saint Master stage. If you obtain my inheritance and take this pot of medicinal soup, it would be easy for you to step into the late Saint Master stage, and you may even aspire to reach the realm of Venerable."
The chilling voice spoke with emotion.
"Senior, but how can I come over?"
Qin Chen stood before the poison pool, hesitating, and said, "This poison pool is too terrifying, and I am afraid I cannot pass through it."
"If it was the you from the beginning, you indeed wouldn't have been able to pass. However, during the previous inheritance assessment, you have already received part of my poison path inheritance. Under my protection, you need not worry about being harmed by this poison pool."
The chilling voice said calmly.
"Yes, I will give it a try."
Qin Chen frowned slightly and cautiously stepped onto the rocks in the poison pool. Suddenly, a terrible poisonous gas began to seep into Qin Chen's body. This poisonous gas carried a strong sense of scorching flames, and Qin Chen felt the power of his calamity hellfire stirring, wanting to expel this fiery poisonous gas.
Qin Chen did not unleash the calamity hellfire. The inheritance of the Heavenly Fire Venerable was one of his strongest trump cards. Although this dry bone had no resistance, after experiencing all this, Qin Chen would no longer easily trust anyone.
Even though this dry bone only had a trace of consciousness and claimed to pass its inheritance to him, Qin Chen possessed too many inheritances. Just the inheritance of the Heavenly Fire Venerable was enough to elevate his alchemy skills to an astonishing level. There were some things Qin Chen did not demand, so he did not release the calamity hellfire but instead used the Ancient Saint Body to resist the poisonous gas. However, as Qin Chen delved deeper, the Ancient Saint Body gradually began to struggle against this poisonous gas.
Qin Chen felt that his origin was starting to be poisoned.
