75: Dandao inheritance

"Alchemy Legacy? Fellow Daoist, are you an Alchemist?"

An old woman couldn't help but ask.

This person first took out a Youth Preservation Pill, then a Heavenly Heart Pill, and now wanted to exchange for an Alchemy Legacy.

No matter how one looked at it, he seemed to be an Alchemist.

Moreover, if this person truly was an Alchemist, everyone's attitude towards him would have to change, and many of their ulterior motives would be extinguished.

It was difficult for Loose Cultivators like them to come into contact with Alchemists; befriending an Alchemist was beneficial and harmless.

Furthermore, Alchemists had a wide circle of friends, and offending one Alchemist might mean offending a whole group of people.

Initially, when they saw the Heavenly Heart Pill, some people had greedy thoughts, but now they had calmed down. If he dared to take it out here, he was definitely not afraid of them snatching it.

However, everyone frowned.

Legacy, and an Alchemy Legacy at that!

"I am indeed an Alchemist, so I want an Alchemy Legacy, preferably a second-tier one."

When out and about, one's identity is self-proclaimed.

Lu Ming, without batting an eye, readily admitted it, and even brazenly demanded a second-tier Legacy.

He would definitely be an Alchemist in the future, so claiming to be one now was perfectly reasonable.

Lu Ming had long wanted to obtain an Alchemy Legacy, but unfortunately, he had never had the chance.

This time, he was merely trying his luck; it didn't matter whether he got one or not.

As for where the Heavenly Heart Pill came from...

That had to be traced back to the Green Bamboo Market.

It was found in the Storage Pouch of Feng Sha, one of the Yun Feng Shuang Sha (Cloud and Wind Double Fiends), after Lu Ming suppressed and killed him.

He just hadn't understood what it was before, so he had left it to gather dust.

However, as his horizons broadened and he saw more and more things, Lu Ming finally understood its purpose.

But he could grow by devouring a Cultivator's Divine Soul, so taking the Heavenly Heart Pill would merely be icing on the cake. It was better to trade it.

Whoosh—

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. It was difficult for Loose Cultivators like them to come into contact with Alchemists, and now that they had, they very much wanted to befriend him.

"Fellow Daoists, do you have what I need?"

Lu Ming didn't intend to waste time; he was afraid of saying too much and revealing his deception.

"Fellow Daoist, let alone a second-tier Alchemy Legacy, we don't even have a first-tier one! How about Fellow Daoist changes his request?"

Seeing Lu Ming admit it, everyone put on a smile, but they were quite helpless regarding Lu Ming's exchange request.

"I have a first-tier Alchemy Legacy here! Although it's only first-tier, it's complete. However, one Heavenly Heart Pill is probably not enough. Add another five hundred Spirit Stones, how does Fellow Daoist feel about that?"

The Beautiful Woman who had previously traded feathers with Lu Ming spoke.

She took out a wooden box, inside which was a Jade Slip.

Lu Ming didn't rush to speak after hearing this, but instead turned to look at everyone present.

He scanned the crowd, feeling a little disappointed when no one responded, but obtaining a complete first-tier Legacy was already good.

These were originally treasures hoarded by various families. These Cultivators who brought them out most likely found them in a Senior's Immortal Cave or inherited them from an Elder.

However, he didn't care about these details; having it was already an unexpected joy.

So, he no longer hesitated.

"Since no other Fellow Daoist has made an offer, then so be it..."

"Wait!"

Lu Ming looked in the direction of the voice; it was the middle-aged Cultivator, the organizer of this trade fair.

He waved his hand, and a Jade Slip flew towards Lu Ming: "Fellow Daoist, take a look at this first..."

Lu Ming was also a little curious. He took it and understood; it was a fragmented second-tier Alchemy technique.

'Why are Legacies appearing in droves today...'

Now it was Lu Ming's turn to be conflicted; he wanted both.

But he no longer had anything to exchange on him.

Those Magical Artifacts and Talismans, the other party probably wouldn't be interested in them.

He couldn't possibly give away the Puppet Legacy, could he?

After a moment of silence, he still made a choice: he would choose the first-tier Alchemy Legacy.

After all, it was complete, and he hadn't even touched Alchemy yet; he couldn't become a fat man in one bite.

However, he didn't give up. Instead, he first completed the transaction with the Beautiful Woman.

After taking his seat, his Divided Soul began to communicate with his main body, which was waiting outside, preparing to stir up some trouble later.

Time passed, and the trade fair didn't last long before it ended. Everyone stood up, intending to leave.

At this moment, Lu Ming controlled his Clone to perform Soul Emergence again, forcefully intruding into the middle-aged Cultivator's Sea of Consciousness with a barbaric posture.

His main body was not idle either, cooperating from outside, fully activating the Yin Lotus Mother-Child Twin Birth Method, and began frantically extracting the Divine Soul power from the Cultivator in the golden book to infuse his Clone.

At the same time, it also carried a trace of the Blood Demon Soul Refining Scripture's Divine Soul pressure.

In the middle-aged Cultivator's Sea of Consciousness, he constructed a majestic illusory figure, clad in a black robe, using Divine Soul power.

He sat cross-legged, and a formidable aura surged forth.

"Young friend, please stay."

When Lu Ming's voice echoed in his mind, the middle-aged Cultivator almost jumped up in fright.

This was not Divine Sense transmission!

The middle-aged Cultivator was at least at Qi Refining eighth-layer; he knew best whether it was Divine Sense or not.

Feeling the Divine Soul pressure, the middle-aged Cultivator's face instantly turned pale.

Is this Foundation Establishment Divine Sense?

The middle-aged man couldn't quite grasp Lu Ming's background. He felt like it was Divine Sense, yet it was somewhat ambiguous.

However, he attributed it all to his shallow knowledge.

He never expected that a Qi Refining Cultivator's trade fair would attract a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Are experts so idle these days?

As for the Qi Refining sixth-layer aura on Lu Ming's body?

What a joke! Who doesn't know a breath-concealing secret art these days?

It's perfectly reasonable for a Senior to disguise himself as a Qi Refining sixth-layer, right?

Hmm, very reasonable! He kept convincing himself.

"No wonder he disdained many things earlier," the middle-aged Cultivator muttered to himself.

It wasn't surprising that he overthought things; Lu Ming had always maintained an indifferent attitude.

Lu Ming didn't know that he had already been 'deified'. He was just trying; at worst, he would be socially humiliated if exposed.

As long as he wasn't embarrassed, then others would be.

...

The trade fair ended, and the Cultivators left the Immortal Gathering Pavilion one after another, but each of them greeted Lu Ming warmly before departing.

However, the middle-aged male Cultivator respectfully waited in place.

Seeing Lu Ming approach, he quickly bowed.

"Junior Yang Li greets Senior! I was unaware of a Foundation Establishment Senior's visit earlier and thus neglected Senior!"

Lu Ming adopted the demeanor of an expert and waved his hand.

"No matter, ignorance is no sin. This Venerable One was merely idle."

Seeing this 'Foundation Establishment' Senior so easy to talk to, Yang Li breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't doubt for a moment that the person in front of him was a fake Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

He firmly believed in his intuition. That Divine Soul pressure that made his Soul tremble, if not possessed by a great Foundation Establishment Cultivator, could it be a Qi Refining Cultivator?

Then he mustered his courage and asked, "May I ask if there is anything I can do for you?"

Lu Ming glanced at him, and Yang Li shivered, thinking he had said something wrong.

Lu Ming didn't scare him further; he was also afraid of messing up the act and revealing himself. At that point, this person would probably instantly turn red with anger and lash out in embarrassment.

If things escalated, it wouldn't be fun.

"This Venerable One is interested in your Alchemy Legacy, but the Heavenly Heart Pill has already been given out."

Hearing this, Yang Li's heart sank. Could it be that the Foundation Establishment Cultivator in front of him was going to bully the weak and snatch his Legacy?

Should he resist or not resist?

However, the subsequent words made Yang Li breathe a sigh of relief.

"This Venerable One will open the furnace for Alchemy again in the future, and at that time, I will make up for it with two more pills."

The meaning was clear: give me the item first, and the payment will follow later!

Yang Li was still a little hesitant. It wasn't that he didn't trust him...

Bah, he just didn't trust him!
