Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

Ling Yun kept observing their expressions and did not interrupt Ling Lie's conversation with them.

Seeing their constipated expressions, she understood their doubts.

A random formation.

Although she wasn't afraid of what people might think of her if they found out, she didn't want innocent people to be hurt.

"Ancestor, you..."

"It's nothing shameful, there's no need to hide it from them."

"I am indeed not your Seventh Miss, but this body is. She is dead, and I am inexplicably trapped in her body."

She felt depressed whenever she thought about it.

"Dead? That's impossible."

Ling Xiao and the others couldn't accept it for a moment.

She understands too.

The rest can be discussed by Ling Lie and Ling Yongchang.

Eventually, everyone understood.

One by one, a look of "I see" appeared on their faces.

No wonder she's so strong; it turns out she's their ancestor.

Everything makes sense now.

only……

The news of the Seventh Miss's death left them feeling depressed.

Without anyone interfering, the Ling family disciples quickly prepared everything.

As Lingyun instructed.

Throw the medicinal herbs into the prepared large vat.

Then, everyone saw Ling Yun wave his hand, and more than a dozen disciples were thrown into the large vat.

Then Lingyun lit a fire and cooked them together.

The sight sent chills down their spines.

Those who don't know the situation might think they're planning to make human flesh soup.

As time went on, the water in the large vat began to boil.

The dozen or so disciples had ruddy complexions.

"Ancestor, shall we continue?"

He can almost smell the aroma of the meat.

If this continues, they will either die from exhaustion of their spiritual energy or be boiled alive.

"What's the rush? They still have their spiritual power; they won't die."

Alright, since the ancestor has said so, you'll just have to accept it.

"Top-grade spiritual stone?"

Ling Yun then threw the top-grade spirit stones one by one into the large vat, and then used his spiritual power to activate the spirit stones.

Under the influence of the spirit stone, the originally scalding hot medicine calmed down.

If it weren't for the fact that you could still feel its heat.

They would all assume the water had gone cold.

However, I watched as the spirit stone disappeared little by little.

The Ling family was heartbroken.

What a waste, what a waste.

My dear ancestor, I know you have money, but you can't just squander it like this.

That's more than a dozen top-grade spirit stones!

I wonder how much stronger I will become.

"Ah! Ancestor, Ancestor, what are you doing?"

Ling Yun then began burning a pile of medicinal herbs.

This action truly terrified the Third Elder.

He was an alchemist, though not very skilled. No alchemist could remain calm after seeing so many medicinal herbs destroyed.

However, as he approached Ling Yun, a wave of scorching heat hit him, startling him so much that he retreated repeatedly.

I was only focused on the medicinal herbs and didn't notice the flame in Ling Yun's hand.

The heat was exceptionally high.

Even from this distance, he could still feel the intense heat of the flames.

Little did he know that this was already the lowest Ling Yun had controlled.

Otherwise, with their small bodies, they wouldn't be able to withstand it.

"Grandpa, stop right now! You don't know how to use medicinal herbs like this!"

The Third Elder was heartbroken.

Don't you know that medicinal herbs are scarce in the northern part of the city?

He was always very frugal and careful when refining pills, afraid of wasting even a tiny bit of medicinal material.

Now look what's happened, all these medicinal herbs are going to go to waste.

If I had known, I would have preferred him to just use it openly.

Ling Yun ignored the old man and continued what he was doing.

Others were even less likely to do so.

Didn't you see that even the ancestor Ling Lie didn't stop it?

"Huh? This is..."

The Third Elder, who was feeling sorry for the medicinal herbs, suddenly smelled a fragrance of elixir.

Otherwise, why would people say that alchemists have a nose even more sensitive than spirit beasts?

The fragrance grew stronger, and others could smell it too.

"That's right, this is indeed Danxiang."

The Third Elder was quite certain.

But is that even possible? The ancestor didn't refine pills either.

Their gaze fell on the flame in Ling Yun's hand.

A bold idea popped into his head.

No, absolutely impossible.

Without an alchemy furnace, they threw all the medicinal herbs into the fire.

This doesn't look like alchemy at all, does it?

"Alright, when they wake up, give them this pill."

The slap in the face came too quickly.

As if provoked by something, the Third Elder suddenly ran up to Ling Yun and snatched the pill from her hand.

"Third Elder, what are you doing?"

Ling Yongchang was clearly somewhat dissatisfied with the Third Elder's style.

"Patriarch, Patriarch, this...this is a top-grade elixir!"

"Huh? What did you say this is?!"

Ling Yongchang's eyes widened as well.

The best elixir?

Don't even mention the northern part of the city.

I'm afraid you can't find many alchemists in the entire Xuan Tian Continent who can refine top-grade pills, okay?

"Third Elder, are you sure?"

"Master, there can be no mistake."

"My alchemy skills aren't great, but your ability to appraise pills is among the best in the entire Northern City."

"Moreover, I once had the honor of seeing a top-grade pill, which was exactly the same as the top-grade pill refined by the ancestor."

"No, that's not right. The purity of this top-grade pill is obviously higher than any other top-grade pill I've ever seen."

The Third Elder was so excited that his whole body was trembling.

This is a top-grade elixir!

This is what alchemists strive for.

Ling Yongchang was also somewhat excited.

Suddenly, I realized that the ancestor possessed Ling Yun's body to save the Ling family.

Sure enough, once the first "Ancestor" was uttered, the rest didn't feel awkward at all.

"Old...wait! Where's the Ancestor? Where did he go? Wasn't he just here a moment ago?"

The excited Third Elder looked up and found that the Ancestor was gone.

"Um, Third Elder, the Ancestor had already left while you were talking with the Patriarch."

"Gone? How could the Ancestor just leave like that?"

Seeing the Third Elder's expression, they all knew that he was eager to discuss with the Ancestor how this top-grade pill was refined.

After all, the Third Elder was a pill fanatic.

The premise is that you shouldn't care about his alchemy skills.

"Alright, third brother, the ancestor hasn't left yet. There's plenty of time later."

"Yes, Patriarch, you are right."

That's great, such an awesome ancestor is from their Ling family.

Ling Yongchang was extremely pleased with himself.

As for Ling Yun...

----------

"Wow, I really don't know!"

"Aren't you supposed to be an omnipotent system? What, you're telling me you don't know? Do you even believe that yourself?"

Ling Yun returned to the courtyard and dragged the system out of the small dark room.

"Boss, if you can't figure this out, how can I? My only function is to enhance the strength of the Chosen One; I really don't know anything else."

Looking at the system, Ling Yun suddenly felt that she should give this guy a head, so that she might be able to appreciate what it means to change one's expression.

She didn't have much hope that this guy knew about the original owner's parents.

After all, this guy is truly a piece of trash.
