"Heavenly Wind Cave?"

Ye Chen nodded.

"So this is the name of the cave dwelling left behind by that existence who surpassed the Sovereign, as mentioned by Lin Shan? Quite unique, I must say."

Ye Chen raised his gaze toward the three Artifact Spirit Girls, noticing that, just like the ones in the "Sevenfold Waterfall" cave dwelling earlier, these three also had Divine Rune Seals on their foreheads identical to the three Inheritance Tokens he held.

One was the Artifact Spirit Girl with the small Key Divine Rune, while the other two possessed the Blue Ring and White Ring Divine Runes.

Ye Chen couldn't help but speculate: Could all the relic cave dwellings in this "Life Cavity and Death Cavity Great World" be guarded by Artifact Spirit Girls?

However, Ye Chen, having only explored this cave so far, wasn't certain about his guess.

What Ye Chen was more concerned about was the "Nine Transformation Ice God Pill" Lin Shan tasked him to find—where exactly was it?

And the "Passing Light of the God" he was obligated to obtain—where could that be?

Ye Chen wasted no time and directly inquired with the three Artifact Spirit Girls.

Hearing his question, the three Artifact Spirit Girls giggled, "Successor, having obtained three tokens, you are qualified to receive three inheritances left by our master."

The Artifact Spirit Girl with the Key Divine Rune Seal spoke directly, "The 'Nine Transformation Ice God Pill' you asked about is one of the pills from the 'Divine Pill Heritage,' which is one of Master's inheritances."

"I can take you to the First Wind Cave right now to choose this pill."

Hearing this, Ye Chen's heart stirred with excitement.

Finding the "Nine Transformation Ice God Pill" would finally put his mind at ease. With this pill, once he left the Heavenly God Mountain and made his way to the Divine Kingdom where Lin Shan resided, he could save Lin Shan's sister.

Under the guidance of the Key Divine Rune Artifact Spirit Girl, Ye Chen followed her down a passage beside the grand hall, eventually arriving in a circular cave dwelling.

As soon as he stepped into the cave, Ye Chen saw countless medicine boxes arranged neatly within. With a brief glance, he estimated there were over a thousand.

The Key Divine Rune Artifact Spirit Girl spoke again, "Successor, based on the inheritance level granted to you, you can choose ten bottles of pills from the 'Divine Pill Heritage' here."

"The 'Nine Transformation Ice God Pill' you asked for is among them. If you choose this pill, you can still select nine more bottles in addition."

Whoosh.

As the girl spoke, a medicine box flew toward Ye Chen. With a tap from the girl, the lock on the box clicked open, revealing a white jade bottle inside.

Ye Chen saw the words "Nine Transformation Ice God Pill" written on the bottle. Additionally, within the box was a jade plaque detailing the pill's usage instructions.

"The Nine Transformation Ice God Pill is a Polar Sky Level Divine Pill. It holds immense efficacy for Martial Artists cultivating Ice System Divine Arts. Even Sovereign-level individuals injured while practicing Ice System Divine Arts can rely on this pill to recover…"

Reading the description, Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be, as Lin Shan mentioned, that his sister was gravely injured while practicing Ice System Divine Arts?

Ye Chen memorized the effects of the Nine Transformation Ice God Pill and then examined the descriptions of the other pills present.

Finally, he opened the white jade bottle to inspect the pills inside.

Within the bottle, Ye Chen found dozens of pills, each exuding a misty, icy aura that looked profoundly mystical.

"According to the instructions for the Nine Transformation Ice God Pill, if Lin Shan's sister is below the Divine Venerable Realm, just one pill should suffice to save her. With a full bottle here, it should be more than enough."

After carefully examining the Nine Transformation Ice God Pill, Ye Chen placed the bottle back into the medicine box and stored the box in his Spatial Treasure.

He then turned his attention to the other medicine boxes.

As per the Artifact Spirit Girl, he could select nine more bottles of pills.

The mystical nature of just the Nine Transformation Ice God Pill left Ye Chen curious and eager to see what the other nine bottles had to offer.

However, Ye Chen was unfamiliar with the other pills. The boxes offered no clue to their contents, and unlike Lin Shan, who had undergone the inheritance trials and learned about these pills, Ye Chen was entirely in the dark.

When he asked the Artifact Spirit Girls for guidance, they merely advised him to rely on his intuition and provided no further pointers.

In the end, Ye Chen randomly pointed to nine medicine boxes.

Seeing his selections, the Artifact Spirit Girl tapped her fingers, and each of the nine boxes opened, flying to Ye Chen's side.

"Gold Vanquishing Divine Pill: This pill is extremely detrimental to those practicing Gold Element Divine Arts. In fact, it is considered a superb Polar Sky Level Divine Pill for countering Gold Element Divine Arts. Administering this pill to someone cultivating Gold Element Divine Arts can incapacitate them with self-imposed seals for days or even months..."

The first pill's description shocked Ye Chen.

He hadn't anticipated that the pills in this cave could not only save lives but also harm others!

Ye Chen turned his attention to the remaining medicine boxes.

Among the remaining selections were pills such as the "Ten Thousand Flames God-Destroying Pill," "Heaven's Destiny Life-Continuing Pill," and "Nine-Level Sky Devouring Pill."

Their effects ranged from healing and harming to even extending the lives of those on the brink of death!

Ye Chen carefully stored all the medicine boxes.

He couldn't help but marvel at how just ten bottles of pills had such miraculous effects. With thousands of bottles in the cave, the variety of effects must be astounding!

Even more astonishing to Ye Chen was the idea that the cave's owner had managed to refine so many pills.

Could it be that the existence who surpassed the Sovereign was an extraordinary Alchemist?

As Ye Chen speculated, the Key Divine Rune Artifact Spirit Girl smiled and said, "Successor, you've completed selecting all the items allowed by the inheritance token you hold. Now, you can follow the other two Artifact Spirit Girls to choose the items they oversee."

Ye Chen's heart stirred, and he asked the Artifact Spirit Girl, "Is there any way to allow me to select a few more bottles of pills? For example, by taking on additional trials and earning higher privileges?"

The Key Divine Rune Artifact Spirit Girl pouted slightly and replied, "By obtaining the inheritance token from our master, you've already participated in the 'Divine Pill Heritage' trial. The token's level determines that you can select only ten bottles, with no opportunity for a second trial."

The girl's response left Ye Chen sighing inwardly.

It seemed Lin Shan hadn't performed too well during the trial; otherwise, he would have left a better token. Now, Ye Chen had no choice but to settle for what he had.

Still, Ye Chen soon felt at ease.

If not for Lin Shan's token, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to enter this cave dwelling in the first place, let alone witness its treasures.

Accompanied by the Key Divine Rune Artifact Spirit Girl, Ye Chen returned to the grand hall.

Then, following the Blue Ring and White Ring Artifact Spirit Girls, he entered two other circular cave dwellings. In the Blue Ring Girl's cave, he chose ten herbs useful for healing, while in the White Ring Girl's cave, he selected ten unique herbs suited for harming enemies.

Upon returning to the grand hall, Ye Chen's mind was still filled with images of the thousands of medicine boxes in the pill cave and the innumerable herbs in the Blue and White Ring caves.

By now, Ye Chen was certain: the owner of this "Heavenly Wind Cave" was undoubtedly a remarkable Alchemist!

Ye Chen had heard of Alchemists before.

In the Demon Tomb, he had encountered Huyan Divine Master, who was also an Alchemist.

Huyan Divine Master had even refined the extraordinary "Divine Milk"!

Moreover, even after death, Huyan Divine Master had left behind the formidable Curse Power on his remains.

Back then, Ye Chen had obtained the valuable Divine Milk from Huyan Divine Master but also faced the peril of the Curse. To resolve it, he would eventually have to go to the True Spirit Divine Kingdom and fulfill Huyan Divine Master's wish.

Ye Chen hadn't expected to encounter another Alchemist who surpassed the Sovereign here in the Heavenly God Mountain and to gain so many life-saving and destructive pills and herbs in the process.

By now, Ye Chen had already reaped significant rewards.

However, two lingering regrets remained in his heart.

Firstly, he could only select ten items from each of the three branch caves. Compared to the endless array of treasures within, his haul felt too small.

Secondly, despite exploring the three branch caves, he still hadn't found the "Passing Light of the God"!

All three Artifact Spirit Girls told him the Passing Light of the God wasn't in their respective caves.

"Then how can I obtain the Passing Light of the God?"

"Could there be a fourth branch cave?"

Ye Chen questioned the three Artifact Spirit Girls.

The three girls giggled, "That's right, there is indeed a final branch cave—the Fourth Branch Cave! The Passing Light of the God is within the fourth branch cave. It's also the hardest to enter and the most precious of all!"

"Back then, our master didn't release the trial requirements for the fourth cave to the outside world, so you still have a chance to attempt it."

"However, based on the level of the inheritance tokens you've obtained from us, you stand no chance of entering the fourth branch cave."

Well then.

The three Artifact Spirit Girls had effortlessly belittled Ye Chen.

Ye Chen decided not to explain.

He certainly couldn't reveal that the tokens he held weren't his own. Otherwise, if the tokens were confiscated, he'd be in trouble.

Ye Chen simply smiled at the three girls and said, "Since there's a branch cave left to attempt, please lead me to it. Who knows? I might succeed by sheer luck."

The three Artifact Spirit Girls exchanged a glance and began leading the way.

Ye Chen followed them, flying down another passage from the grand hall.

Soon, Ye Chen saw boundless stormy skies ahead. In that space, it seemed as though countless hurricanes were raging—a veritable world of storms!

As Ye Chen and the three Artifact Spirit Girls arrived at this stormy world, yet another Artifact Spirit Girl emerged from it, flying toward them.

The Divine Rune on this girl's forehead was shaped like a tome.

Without sparing Ye Chen a glance, she first addressed the other three girls, asking, "Which level of inheritance did this challenger complete in your three caves?"

The three girls replied, "To report to Elder Sister, this person came here using an inheritance token obtained outside. He only achieved the lowest, first-level inheritance."

Finally, this fourth Artifact Spirit Girl shifted her gaze to Ye Chen.

Her first words nearly made Ye Chen cough up blood: "First-level inheritance? Pathetic. With that level, don't even think about entering the fourth branch cave. You'll die in the trials instantly."
