Cultivation of immortality begins with an eighty-year-old eunuch.

The originally raging crimson flames, which seemed to be about to burst his meridians, miraculously became docile when they encountered the array laws engraved in his soul and a trace of sealed immortal energy simulation fluctuations.

The flames transformed into thousands of extremely fine lines of fire, like nimble snakes, precisely drilling into the deepest parts of Chen Fan's bones and muscles, carrying out the most meticulous tempering.

"Click click click..."

His bones cracked crisply, and his already incomparably powerful body was breaking through a limit after three years of daily tempering.

If his physical strength was only comparable to the early stage of Core Formation when he received the inheritance in Heavenly Fire Holy City, then now, the power of this ancient demonic body has completely broken through the barrier of the Core Formation stage, and is approaching the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage at an incredible speed!

Half an hour later, Chen Fan slowly finished his practice.

He opened his eyes, a captivating crimson light flashing within them before quickly disappearing, returning him to his usual calm.

"This technique is indeed profound." Chen Fan put the bone fragment into his pocket, stood up, and stretched his muscles and bones. "If I break through my cultivation barrier and integrate this 'Crimson Emperor Burning Heaven Technique' into my cultivation system, my strength will definitely experience a qualitative leap."

Just as he was inside the stone house contemplating his future cultivation plans, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

"Quickly! Go and inform the chieftain! The Skyfire Tribe... the Skyfire Tribe's envoy has arrived!"

Chen Fan's brows twitched slightly as he stepped out of the stone house.

Suddenly, an impressive procession appeared in the tribe's spacious square.

Those were more than a dozen "Golden-Armored Iron-Horned Beasts" of far greater size than ordinary beasts, each carrying a mountain of enormous wooden crates on its back. And leading the pack was none other than a vice-priest dressed in a fiery red priest's robe!

That was an ancient demon expert at the Golden Core level, who was usually a high and mighty figure in the Heavenly Fire Holy City, but now he was personally escorting supplies to the Black Rock Tribe, this godforsaken and impoverished backwater.

Tiegu had already arrived upon hearing the news. He stood at the edge of the square with dozens of soldiers, looking tense, his palms sweating profusely.

"No... I was unaware of the High Priest's arrival. I apologize for not being able to greet you properly!" Iron Bone forced himself to step forward and bowed deeply.

The vice-priest glanced at Ironbone, and a forced smile appeared on his usually arrogant face: "Chief Ironbone, there's no need for such formalities. I've come here on the orders of the High Priest to deliver this year's cultivation supplies to your tribe... no, to deliver them to the Medicine Master."

"Supplies...to the pharmacist?"

Tie Gu was stunned, as if struck by lightning, staring blankly at the huge wooden crates.

That's a load of supplies carried by more than a dozen golden-armored iron-horned beasts! It's filled with high-grade spirit stones, rare fire-type spirit herbs, and even boxes of body-tempering pills! All of this combined is enough to buy ten Black Rock Tribes!

"Where is the apothecary?" The vice-priest looked around, his tone surprisingly respectful.

The crowd parted, and Chen Fan, dressed in a blue robe, slowly walked from the direction of the stone house.

Upon seeing Chen Fan, the vice-priest immediately stepped forward, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and performed a perfectly standard ancient demonic salute: "Your subordinate greets Your Excellency! The High Priest instructed that these supplies have been prepared for you according to the highest standards. If Your Excellency has any further instructions, please feel free to speak."

Chen Fan merely glanced at the wooden crates and calmly said, "Please thank the High Priest for me. Put the supplies down; you can go back now."

"Yes! I'll take my leave!"

The deputy priest, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, waved his hand and ordered his attendants to unload the wooden boxes. Without even daring to ask for a sip of water, he led the group away in haste.

The entire village of Heiyan was left standing dumbfounded in the square, their faces disheveled in the wind.

That night.

Tie Gu, carrying two jars of the strongest fruit wine, kicked open the half-closed wooden door of Chen Fan's stone house.

"Bang!"

Two jars of wine were slammed heavily onto the stone table. Tie Gu plopped down on the ground, staring intently at Chen Fan, who was grinding herbs, without uttering a single word for a long time.

Chen Fan stopped what he was doing, looked up at him, and asked, "What's wrong, clan leader? Is something on your mind?"

"You little brat, how many things have you been hiding from me?!" Tie Gu grabbed the wine jar, broke the mud seal, tilted his head back, and took a big gulp, the wine flowing down his rugged chin.

Over the past year, Tiegu initially had no idea about the Skyfire Tribe's supply deliveries. But secrets don't stay hidden forever; although the Blackrock Tribe was remote, caravans occasionally passed through the wasteland.

Unwilling to give up, Tiegu spent a fortune and finally learned a shocking secret from a well-informed caravan leader that almost made his jaw drop.

Heavenly Fire Holy City, the Crimson Emperor manifests!

A beast slave from a remote wasteland triggered the highest crimson inheritance that had not appeared for five thousand years! The high priest immediately offered to relinquish his position as clan leader, but the man flatly refused! And that man, in the end, actually ran back to the remote countryside to feed the Netherworld Beasts!

"The Crimson Legacy..." Iron Bone stared with his large, cowbell-like eyes, his voice trembling. "Pharmacist, you...you're the monster who triggered the Crimson Emperor's essence?! Why did you give up your position as the chieftain of the Heavenly Fire Tribe and come back...why did you come back?!"

Chen Fan couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Tie Gu's expression, which seemed as if he had seen a ghost.

"Didn't I tell you? The Holy City is too noisy. I prefer the peace and quiet here." Chen Fan picked up another jar of wine and took a sip. "What, does the clan leader think that the Black Rock Tribe's temple is too small to accommodate my 'great Buddha'?"

"fart!"

Tie Gu slapped his thigh, his eyes red, and roared, "Don't try to fool me with those kinds of words! I may be a rough man, but I know what the words 'Successor of the Crimson Emperor' mean! With just a word from you, the resources of the entire Ancient Demon Star could be piled up at your feet, yet you..."

Tiegu's voice suddenly choked up as he said this.

He looked at Chen Fan's still drafty stone house, and at the medicinal herb field outside that Chen Fan had managed so well, and a feeling that he could not describe well welled up inside him.

"You brat..." Tie Gu took a deep breath, stood up abruptly, and looked down at Chen Fan. "I don't care how powerful you are in the Heavenly Fire Tribe! I don't care if you're some kind of Crimson Emperor's descendant! All I know is that here, you're the Black Rock Tribe's pharmacist! You're one of my soldiers!"

Chen Fan looked up at Tie Gu, and seeing his feigned ferocity yet utterly sincere expression, the smile on his face gradually faded, turning into a solemn expression.

"Alright." Chen Fan raised the wine jar in his hand. "Cheers."

"Dry!"

Two rough wine jars collided heavily in mid-air, making a crisp sound.
